Why are some trees painted white?
I think it's to deter insects or animals from eating or biting them. Or maybe it's for safety, so they're easier to see at night.
What's the best time to visit West Lake?
I think around 4 or 5 pm is the best time because it's golden hour and you get beautiful pictures!
