Broken bridge is the most famous bridge in West Lake. Hangzhou West Lake has four love bridges: Xiling Bridge, Long Bridge, Broken Bridge and Crossing Hongqiao, and its reputation is enduring. Lingqiao, Changqiao and Broken Bridge are ancient love bridges, and crossing Hongqiao is a modern love bridge. Many couples meet and swim here, but the most famous one is Broken Bridge, whose name is associated with the touching and sad love story in China folk story The Legend of the White Snake.

Some views on broken bridges;
1, The West Lake Tour in the Ming Dynasty joked that the broken bridge was named after Bai Causeway, and it extended from a lonely mountain, but it was far-fetched.
2. People came all the way from Pinghu Autumn Moon, and Bai Causeway stopped here, so it was called Broken Bridge, but it lacked artistic conception.
Winter snow, standing on the broken bridge, looks like silver, and the frozen lake is like ink, black and white, which is particularly touching. Therefore, it is called "Broken Bridge Canxue", and its origin is only a literal explanation.
4. At the end of Ming Dynasty, Zhang Dai didn't mention it. He wrote in Dream of the West Lake: Peach willows are planted along the embankment of Bai Causeway. "The trees are hugging each other, and the leaves are falling, and the moonlight is broken like snow." The original intention is to say "broken bridge and residual snow", which means the shadow of the moon, which is suspected of building a car behind closed doors.
Broken Bridge is located between Waihu Lake and Beili Lake, which has a wide view and is the best place to watch the snow scene of West Lake in winter. Whenever Xue Rui Chuqing looks out from the Baoshan Mountain, the front of the bridge has melted and the lake waves are rippling, so looking south, the bridge is broken with snow, and the back of the bridge is still covered with snow, so looking from the north, the bridge is broken continuously. This is not in line with reality, just a guess.
