It is known for its picturesque scenery, profound cultural heritage, and rich historical sites. Whether you are strolling along the lake or taking a boat trip, you can feel the unique charm of West Lake. II. Recommended Attractions (I) The Top Ten Scenic Spots of West Lake Spring Dawn on Su Causeway: Su Causeway was built by Su Shi, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, when he was the governor of Hangzhou, using the silt dredged from West Lake. In spring, the weeping willows on Su Causeway are graceful, the peach blossoms are bright, and the green grass is like a carpet. Six bridges span the lake, each with its own characteristics. Strolling along Su Causeway is like being in a beautiful landscape painting. Lingering Snow on Broken Bridge: One of the top ten scenic spots of West Lake, it is also the most romantic attraction. According to legend, Xu Xian and the White Snake met here and fell in love with the help of an umbrella. After the winter snow, the sunny side of the bridge melts, while the shady side is still covered with snow. From a distance, the bridge seems to be broken but not broken, hence the name. Evening Bell Ringing at Nanping Hill: Refers to the evening bell of Jingci Temple on Nanping Hill. The bell is melodious and pleasant. Every time the sun sets, the bell rings, spreading throughout West Lake, giving people a sense of peace and tranquility. Leifeng Pagoda: Famous for the legend of the White Snake.
