Lingering Snow on the Broken Bridge,"Duan Qiao Can Xue" ,is one of "Top Ten Views of West Lake", and the Broken Bridge is famous for its role in a famous folklore "Legend of White Snake".
The Broken Bridge is located at the east end of the Bai Causeway that separates the Inner Lake and the Outer Lake. The bridge is of a single-arch vaulted stone construction with stone balustrades on both sides. To its east is a pavilion that houses a stone tablet with the imperial inscription, “Lingering Snow on the Broken Bridge.” Beside it and facing the bridge stands a lakeside pavilion with vermilion pillars and ornate beams. It offers a nice view of the Inner Lake and the Solitary Hill.
The Broken Bridge isn’t actually broken, and it’s as complete as any other. It’s called Broken Bridge because in the winter, when the sun comes out after a couple of day’s snowfall, the snow on the sunny side of the bridge melts first, while the snow on the shady side still lingers. Thus from a distance, the bridge appears to be broken.

After every winter snowfall, the ice and snow on the sunny side of the bridge gradually melt, while the shady side is still covered with white. From a distance, it seems as if the Broken Bridge is really broken. This wonder not only attracts countless tourists to stop and appreciate, but also becomes famous because of the folk legend of the Legend of the White Snake. ◇ One of the Ten Scenic Spots of West Lake Broken Bridge with Residual Snow has become one of the famous attractions of West Lake with its unique natural landscape. Especially in winter, it shows the wonder of melting ice and snow on the sunny side while the shady side is still white, attracting a large number of tourists. According to legend, it was here that White Snake and Xu Xian met and decided to spend their lives together. This place is also the place where White Snake and Xu Xian met in the legend. This beautiful legend adds a lot of mystery to Broken Bridge with Residual Snow, making it widely spread.
I went to Hangzhou some time ago and checked in at the Broken Bridge. As soon as I got off the car, I could see the Broken Bridge spanning the lake from a distance. It was bustling with people coming and going. Walking on the bridge, the view suddenly widened, and the beautiful scenery of West Lake was in full view. The lake was sparkling, the mountains were undulating in the distance, and the trees on the Baidi Bridge were shaded, like a green ribbon floating in the lake. Standing on the Broken Bridge, the scene of Xu Xian and the White Snake meeting unconsciously emerged in my mind, which was really a bit romantic. Walking around here, blowing the lake breeze, both body and mind are relaxed, it is really pleasant!
Rain silk, slanting across the mirror of the West Lake, dizzy open layers. The Leifeng Tower and the Baoyu Tower in the distance are hidden in the mist, like the undry ink in the ink painting, adding a little mystery and ancient charm to the sputum. Walking on the Sudi, the bluestone slabs were soaked by rain, the willow branches were low, and the crystal drops were swaying gently in the breeze. On the lake, the cruise ship slowly passed, and the canopy was stained with a thin curtain, like a leafy boat out of the Song Dynasty. The pavilions on the shore, the moths and the corners are looming in the misty rain, and the white walls of the tiles are washed more and more clean by the rain, and it is like a long roll of ink in the south of the Yangtze River. The moon is like a fairyland in the misty rain, and the three stone towers reflect on the lake, the water is shining, and the sky is integrated. The drizzle falls on the lotus leaves, making a subtle rustling sound, and occasionally a drop of water falls, startling fish, and swing a fine ripple. At this time, the West Lake faded away from the brightness of the weekdays, and it was a little more subtle and graceful. The lakes and mountains in the misty rain are like dreams, which makes people intoxicate, as if crossing the millennium, and with countless literati and ink guests, feeling this unique poetry and romance in Jiangnan. Every scene, telling the story of the West Lake, every mist and rain, is sketching the tenderness of the south of the Yangtze River.
The snow of the broken bridge in the West Lake is really a scene of excellence in the world, and it is well-deserved. From the perspective of history and culture, the broken bridge was built earlier than the Tang Dynasty, carrying the traces of the millennium years. The "broken bridge and snow" imperial monument of Kangxi's imperial title adds a heavy historical heritage. The love legend of "White Snake" has made the broken bridge a symbol of romantic love. The story of Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi is spread here for ages, which makes people think about it. From the natural landscape, this is a great place to enjoy the landscape of the waters of West Hunan and North. When the winter snow is clear, the snow on the bridge melts and the brown bridge surface is exposed. It is a scene of "snow bridge breaks", and the mountains and lakes in the distance are against each other, like a natural ink painting. Even in the season without snow, the lakes and mountains around the broken bridge, weeping willows, and the broken bridge lying on it, there is no charm, making people feel the gentleness and beauty of the West Lake. In terms of transportation, the broken bridge is located by the West Lake, and the surrounding public transportation is convenient, and it is adjacent to Yuewang Temple and Leifeng Tower and other attractions, which is very convenient to play. The only fly in the ointment is that there are many tourists during the peak tourist season, which may affect the viewing experience. But even so, the broken bridge can still be a classic attraction that West Lake can not be missed, it is worth a visit.
"Failing to throw Hangzhou, half of the lake is this lake." The beauty of the West Lake is the gentleness of light makeup and thick, and the broken bridge is undoubtedly the most poetic of the lake and mountains. Just arrived at the broken bridge, was attracted by its simple and elegant temperament. This single-hole stone arch bridge connects Baidi and Beishan Road, and the lake under the bridge is long and sparkling. Standing on the bridge, it seems that you can see the romantic scene where Xu Xian and Bai Niang meet here. The stone bars on both sides of the bridge are beautifully carved, and the stone lions at the bridge are lifelike. The traces of the years add a little weight to them. Walking along the broken bridge to the white embankment, the embankment is shaded by trees, the weeping willows, the breeze is blowing, the branches are dancing with the wind, and gently touching the cheek. In spring, the peach blossoms are burning, and the green willow branches are against each other, like a beautiful spring picture. "I love the lack of eastbound lake, the white sand dike in the green poplar Yinli", and I really feel the poet's love for this place at this moment. The attractions around the broken bridge are also not to be missed. Not far from the autumn moon of Pinghu, the lake is open, the autumn night is the best to enjoy the moon, imagine the moon color like water sprinkled on the lake, quiet and beautiful. There is also the lonely mountain full of historical charm, there are many monuments on the mountain, and the spirit of Xiqiao Yinshe makes people feel the charm of culture. The West Lake cruise is also a great pleasure. Sitting on the boat, watching the broken bridge gradually go away, the mountains in the distance are rolling, and the lakes and mountains are panoramic. The pavilions, flowers and trees on the shore, as if they were in a painting as they passed along the boat. The fly in the ointment is that there are too many tourists on the broken bridge, and they have to queue up for photos. The price of the surrounding snacks is high and the taste is quite satisfactory. But these small flaws do not affect my love for the broken bridge in the slightest. Next time, I will come to feel the beauty of its different seasons.
The Broken Bridge with Residual Snow is one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake. The best view of the Broken Bridge is after a winter snowfall. At this time, the ice and snow on the sunny side of the bridge have melted, but the shady side is still covered with residual snow. From a high vantage point, the bridge looks like it is broken but not yet broken. In summer, the Broken Bridge is lined with lotus flowers, and the breeze brings bursts of fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Today, I finally saw the long-renowned Broken Bridge with Residual Snow. Stepping onto the Broken Bridge, it was like stepping into an ancient and romantic love story. The bridge is simple and simple, and although it has been baptized by the years, it is still strong. Unfortunately, today is not the winter snow, so I was unable to see the wonders of the "Broken Bridge with Residual Snow". However, just standing on this bridge, feeling the breeze, and thinking about the romantic encounter between Xu Xian and White Snake, I felt a little more poetic and emotional in my heart. The sun shines on the bridge, as if telling the glory of the past. Walking on the Broken Bridge, the surrounding lake is sparkling, and the weeping willows on the shore are lingering. Although there is no residual snow, it still makes people linger. Sitting on a rowing boat and looking at the Broken Bridge from a distance in the center of the lake, it seems that the whole person is silent in the poem and painting, unwilling to leave. Although this trip to the Broken Bridge is regrettable, it is also full of gains. I look forward to coming again in winter to appreciate the true beauty of the Broken Bridge with Residual Snow.
