Introduction to Hengtang Chuge: Hengtang is Hengzhutang, located outside the dike pond in the southwest of Xianghu Lake. Legend has it that yellow bamboo (a type of reed bamboo) was planted on the pond in the early days and formed a forest. Because the dialect "Heng" and "Huang" are homophonic, it is commonly known as "Huangzhutang". Hengzhu Pond is three miles long. There are rivers inside and outside the pond and thick reeds. It is a good place for fishing and crab catching. When the sun sets in the west, the water is played on the Hengtang and the fishing boats sing in the evening, creating a poetic and picturesque scene.
