　　This painting was produced by the artist at the age of 72. It features realistic artistic concept, bright colors and subjective and emotional use of shading in an otherwise objective depiction of a landscape. It is an outstanding and exquisite example of Realism. There are the blue green lake and golden beach with a few small white boats leisurely strewn along the shore or on the water. Some tourists are taking a stroll and some are in the boats. It almost seems as if a slight breeze is blowing. The famed Bitan Suspension Bridge plays a supporting role, connecting the lakeshore to the distant mountain scenery in an elegant arc. The tranquil composition of this painting enhances the feeling of fluidity.
