The Broken Bridge is located at the northern end of Bai Causeway and is connected to Beishan Road. In ‘The Legend of the White Snake’, the scene where Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi meet on the Broken Bridge makes the Broken Bridge widely known and adds a lot of romantic color to this long bridge. When tourists come to Hangzhou, they always can’t help but come here for a walk and even look forward to meeting their ‘predestined person’ cultivated in a hundred years on the bridge. The best time to view the scenery of the Broken Bridge is after snow in winter. At this time, the sunny side of the bridge has melted snow and ice, but the shady side is still covered with remnant snow. Looking from a high place, the bridge seems broken but not broken. This is the famous ‘Broken Bridge and Remnant Snow’ and also one of the earliest ‘Ten Scenes of West Lake’. However, it still takes a bit of luck to see the landscape of ‘Broken Bridge and Remnant Snow’. It seldom snows in Hangzhou, and when there is snow accumulation, there will not be few tourists. So unless you go early after heavy snow, otherwise what you may see are only snowmelt and footprints. The Broken Bridge is also a good place to enjoy the snow scenery of West Lake. Standing on the bridge and looking around, you can see distant mountains and nearby waters at a glance. You will find that the snow-covered West Lake is a bit more glamorous than at other times. Even if it is not winter, there are many tourists coming to the Broken Bridge on weekdays. Many people choose the Broken Bridge as the starting point for visiting West Lake. They walk from the Broken Bridge to Bai Causeway and then go to Gushan Mountain. After that, they visit various scenic spots around West Lake in turn. The view from the Broken Bridge is good, and many people take pictures of the scenery of West Lake on the bridge. Open all year round and open all day.
