There are still a lot of places to see in the West Lake, and there are different attractions and different characteristics around the circle. This place should be said that everyone knows, because Liang Zhu's story, because the story of the broken bridge can't be snowed.
20230927 All day: 1. The broken bridge can be snowed in the northeast corner of Hangzhou West Lake in the scenic spot of 5A, connecting the north bank of West Lake and the lonely mountain. It is named after the two-year history of Hangzhou in Tang Changqing (822), and the famous poet Bai Juyi's "Green Yang Yinli Baisha Dike". The dike is shaded by green willows and the lakes on both sides of the bank are cleaned. With one of the ten West Lake scenes "broken bridges and snow", it is a good place to take a leisure walk and enjoy the scenery. ① Address: Beishan Street (Northeast Entrance) Xihu District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province ② Transportation: direct bus access, driving is not very good to stop ③ peak season: no ④ Time: 3 hours ⑤ Ticket price: free, is an open scenic spot 2. Hangzhou West Lake is a landmark scenic spot in Hangzhou and a world cultural heritage. There are countless celebrity footprints, famous legends, film and television works left in the past, and it is a must-check place for Hangzhou tourism and even national tourism. The official name of the scenic spot is the West Lake Scenic Area. The area is vast, the lake area is 6.38 square kilometers, the water source is from the Qiantang River, the water is coming out of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the outer land area is 35.64 square kilometers. It is scattered in dozens of small and large sub-scenic areas, including the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, the historical mountains, Humanities buildings, museums, children's entertainment and many other kinds of attractions, all of which take 6 days to visit. 3. The broken bridge can't snow is famous for being the place where Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen met in the famous "White Snake". The broken bridge is the water separation point of Beili Lake (a small lake surrounded by Gushan and Baidi) and the outer West Lake. It is named after the interruption of the road to Gushan. It is the first of the West Lake bridges. It was built in the Tang Dynasty. The Song Dynasty called the Blessing Bridge. The Yuan Dynasty called Duanjia Bridge. The bridge was rebuilt for the Republic of China for 30 years (1941)
Sunset view along the broken bridge is amazing! it’s crowded but there are still spaces for you to enjoy the sun and sit down watching it set.
The beautiful scenery of the broken bridge in the misty rain on the first day of the May Day holiday, the sky was overcast, the sky was cloudy, and the light rain had begun to fall, and it was tight and slow. The traffic around the West Lake has entered the overall congestion state, and it is necessary to get off at an intersection in advance and walk a few hundred meters to the lake. Fortunately, from a distance, although the broken bridge is already crowded, but the scene of the crowds did not appear, and the plan has even been made before. If the broken bridge appeared before the Internet, I saw the scene of the water leaking, then just walk along the lake from the north bank of Hubei. It is good to watch the broken bridge and the white embankment across the water, but fortunately that situation did not happen, and the broken bridge can still go. Although the crowds are gathering in the direction of the broken bridge, the traffic on the broken bridge has not reached saturation, because there are many staff working hard to guide, and separated from the two-way route, "diver" is very efficient. So as I wish, I passed the broken bridge, and then walked the white embankment and Sudi, "Qingxi Lake is not as good as the rain West Lake", the misty rain in the West Lake is really beautiful! Of course, there is no sea of people in the West Lake and the weather is the reason. It will definitely "persuasion" some tourists on rainy days, and it can also force tourists in the scenic spot to speed up their pace, so it is difficult to form a sea of people. In addition, most tourists will arrange the first day of the holiday to set off today, so a large number of tourists should still be on the road now, waiting for them to arrive at the West Lake will really "lively" up. The tourists are not dense, and there are still sightseeing cars passing by on the broken bridge and Baidi. However, I think only by walking on the shore of the lake can I really watch the West Lake carefully, watch the ripples that have leisurely traveled in the lake, and listen to the sound of waves beating the shore of the lake. Looking at the Baoan Tower on the north bank and the Leifeng Tower on the south bank and the Sudi not far from the west, the beauty of the West Lake is really refreshing, and it is impossible to extricate itself.
The broken bridge can't snow belongs to one of the ten scenes of West Lake. It is a popular folklore in China's "White Snake", where the white woman and Xu Xianxuan are located. In summer, I saw that the lotus flowers were full on both sides. It was very beautiful. It was said that the broken bridge was a good place to enjoy the snow scene of the West Lake. I had the opportunity to go once in winter.
There are not many people on the broken bridge in the morning. There will be some locals here to run. If you don't come here in the early morning, you will find that the whole broken bridge is crowded, so if you want to see a quiet broken bridge like me, Be sure to come early in the morning and you can see a beautiful sunrise here.
