Hangzhou is the city that appears most frequently in Jin Yong's works. The Qiantang River and West Lake in Hangzhou also coincide with the rivers and lakes in his works.
Jin Yong could still recite a couplet from Hangzhou Gongyuan: "When I write a thousand words, when the cinnamon seeds are fragrant, the locust flowers are yellow" The characters in his novels come to Hangzhou again and again, and the city is full of interest between the lines.
