Hangzhou is known as "paradise on earth". The West Lake is a pearl embedded in this paradise.

Standing by the west lake where the willow trees are gently blowing, I can see that the north, south and west sides of the lake are layered and undulating mountains, one green and one green, one thick and one light, which really looks like a beautiful landscape painting. The calm lake is like a huge silver mirror. Bai Ou swarms across the lake, shining in the sun, very beautiful.

The West Lake is surrounded by a circle of green edges woven by trees. In Shiliming Lake, the lush solitary mountain is particularly beautiful and elegant. Bai Causeway in the east of the lonely mountain and Su Causeway in the southwest are like two green ribbons, gently floating on the clear water. Three small islands in the lake-Zhou Xiaoying, Hu Xinting and Ruan Gongdun-are hidden among green trees.

The clear lake shakes the reflection of green island and white clouds, just like a fairyland. Take a walk and have a look at this picturesque West Lake, how can it not be refreshing!

The West Lake in the moonlight is another scene. At the beginning of the night, the moon rises, the breeze is Xu Lai, and the lake is rippling. The lights on the shore are reflected in the lake, just like countless silver snakes swimming. Melodious piano music floated from time to time in the distance. People boating on the lake will feel that everything in the world has melted in the moonlight.

Leifeng tower 1

Leifeng Pagoda, also known as Princess Pagoda and Xiguan Brick Pagoda, is located on Leifeng Mountain in Zhao Xi on the south bank of West Lake. Leifeng Pagoda was built in 977 A.D. by Emperor Wu, Emperor Yi to worship the Buddha relic. When the tower was completed, it coincided with the mourning of Qian Hongchu's wife Sun Shi as the "Imperial Lady" in the Northern Song Dynasty, so it was named "Imperial Lady Tower".

Later, because its peak was called "Leifeng Pagoda", it was gradually called "Leifeng Pagoda".

2. Broken bridge

The West Lake Broken Bridge is located at the water dividing point between Beili Lake and Waixi Lake in Hangzhou, with one end spanning Beishan Road and the other end connected with Bai Causeway.

It is said that this broken bridge was built as early as the Tang Dynasty. It was called Fuqiao in Song Dynasty and Duanjia Bridge in Yuan Dynasty. The name Broken Bridge comes from the Tang Dynasty. The origin of its name, when it comes to lonely mountain roads, is broken here; It is said that Duanjia Bridge is called broken bridge for short, and homophonic broken bridge.

There is a pavilion in the northeast of the bridge, in which there is a monument of "Broken Bridge and Residual Snow".

3. Su Causeway

Su Causeway is located on the west side of the West Lake, starting from the foothills of Nanping Mountain in the south and ending at Qixia Mountain in the north, with a total length of nearly 3 kilometers. It was built by dredging the West Lake and using dredged mud when Su Dongpo, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, was appointed as the governor of Hangzhou.

Later generations named it Su Causeway to commemorate Su Dongpo's management of the West Lake, and built six single-hole stone arch bridges along the embankment, including Yingbo, Suolan, Wangshan, Dike, Dongpu and Cross Rainbow.
