Why is there a Bai Causeway in Hangzhou West Lake?

In order to welcome Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi, this Bai Causeway was built.

1. West Lake, located in the west of Hangzhou, is one of the most important freshwater lakes in China and a key scenic spot in China. The most famous is the Leifeng Pagoda. In recent years, Hangzhou West Lake has been listed as a cultural heritage. The West Lake is open free of charge all year round, and only some scenic spots in the lake area are charged. It is also the only free 5A scenic spot in China. Suitable for mass consumption, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the West Lake if possible. The beautiful scenery of the West Lake is really beautiful, and there are many cultural history and legendary stories, the most famous of which is the story of Xu Xian and the White Snake, which can be said to be earth-shattering and touching.

Second, the streets around the West Lake closely connect the West Lake with the streets of Hangzhou, which not only enriches the scenery of the West Lake, but also adds features to the West Lake. If you go around the West Lake, it will take about half a day. The West Lake has beautiful scenery all year round, especially on the Houshan Road, where there is a famous lotus viewing holy place. Every summer, the lotus fragrance across the broken bridge comes to my face. There is also Hubin Road, which has built a tunnel under the lake, greatly alleviating the traffic pressure around Hubin Road, and the lakeside pavement has also been transformed, surrounded by high-end hotels and brand clothing stores. The West Lake is also a symbol of Hangzhou, which has promoted the local economic development and enabled people all over the country to consume and feel the beauty of the West Lake and the local characteristics of Hangzhou.

The most famous of West Lake is Leifeng Pagoda, which is located on the south bank of West Lake. It is said that the bricks of Leifeng Tower can be used to drive away diseases and prevent miscarriage. For a long time, someone stole bricks and ground them into powder. Finally, the Leifeng Tower collapsed, and later the Leifeng Tower we see today was built. The West Lake, with its bright lakes and deep mountains, attracted the care of the humanities of past dynasties, such as Bai Junyi, who also left many beautiful poems. Today, Leifeng Pagoda has become the most representative scenic spot in the West Lake, which is deeply supported and loved by people.
