Under the azure sky with white clouds scudding slowly by the hills there look very much like emerald hairpins or jadeite bamboo shoots while the peaks the tufts of hair or green snail. The water surface round the spot is smooth as a mirror and so the reflections in the water seem to be more crystal-clear and charming.
