Abstract:Huizhou West Lake, as a typical example of Lingnan Municipal Landscape, gradually precipitated a dominant relationship with time in the evolution process over the millennium. Based on the perspective of Lingnan Municipal Landscape, this paper uses historical research method and introduces the concept of "layering" to study the ancient Huizhou West Lake. The basis of its continuity characteristics is summarized as successive construction and management of state capital, as well as the iterative cycle of "discovery-constructiontourism-dissemination" landscape construction. The results of its continuity characteristics are summarized as the spatial layering of single element evolution and the overall state superposition of each element, as well as the cultural layering that spans time and space scenarios.
