When Bai Juyi, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty, was the governor of Hangzhou, he built the Baigong Embankment near today's Baisha Road. It no longer exists. Hangzhou people commemorated his achievements and recorded the current Bai Embankment in his credit book.

Baidi used to be paved with white sand, but now it has been replaced by an asphalt road. There are lush flowers and trees on both sides, including colorful peach trees and graceful weeping willows. Jintai Bridge was formerly known as Bihan Bridge. It is said that when Kangxi visited the West Lake, the dragon boat entered the inner lake from under this bridge.

Su Causeway starts from the foothills of Nanping Mountain in the south and ends at the foot of Qixialing Mountain in the north, with a total length of 2.8 kilometers.

It was built by Su Dongpo, the great poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, who dredged the West Lake and used the excavated mud when he was the magistrate of Hangzhou. Later generations named it Su Causeway in memory of Su Dongpo's achievements in managing the West Lake. The long embankment lies on the waves, connecting the southern and northern mountains, adding a charming scenery to the West Lake. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the spring dawn at Su Di was listed as the first of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was also called "Six Bridges of Smoked Willows" and was included in the ten scenic spots in the Qian and Tang Dynasties. This shows that it has been deeply loved by people since ancient times. It was named because it was built by Su Dongpo when he was dredging the West Lake in the Song Dynasty. It was named one of the Ten Scenic Spots of the West Lake by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. In the imperial stele pavilion south of Wangshan Bridge on Su Causeway, there is an inscription "Spring Dawn on Su Causeway" inscribed by Kangxi. Sudi is more than 2,000 meters long, with peach and willow trees planted on both sides. The scenery varies throughout the seasons. Every spring in March, the willow trees turn into smoke and shade the lake, which is full of fun.

Hangzhou people commonly call these six bridges "six suspension bridges". There are six arch bridges on the Su Causeway. Yingbo Bridge is adjacent to Huagang Park. The weeping poplar belt spans the rain and the smoke waves are swaying; Suolan Bridge looks at Xiaoyingzhou from up close and Baoshu Tower from far away. Looking west from the mountain bridge, Dingjiashan Mountain is lush and green, and the twin peaks towering into the clouds are in sight; the Embankment Bridge is located at the golden section between the north and south of Su Di. The scenic stele pavilion of "Dike Chunxiao" is located in the south of the bridge; Dongpu Bridge has reason to suspect that it is a rumor of "Shupu Bridge". This is one of the best spots to watch the sunrise on the lake; cross the Hong Bridge to see the rainbow flying in the sky after the rain, and the lake and mountains are glowing.

Yang Mengying carried out dredging in the 3rd year of the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty (1508) to clear the water surface of the West Lake. The farmland is nearly 3,500 acres, and the silt and fungus produced by dredging are used to build a north-south line on Xili Lake, starting from the foot of Renshou Mountain and Maling Mountain in the north, to Chishan Port and the eastern foot of Qianliangsiling in the south, connecting Dingjiashan, There are six bridges on the long dike such as Mianniu Mountain. In order to commemorate Yang Mengying, later generations called the dike "Yang Gongdi" and the six bridges on the dike "Liliu Bridge". 》The six bridges in Li were named Huanbi Bridge, Liujin Bridge, Wolong Bridge, Yinxiu Bridge, Jingxing Bridge and Junyuan Bridge from north to south. The lake in the west of Houdi gradually became silted up and shrunk, and Yanggongdi also gradually became the same name. The road on the west bank of the West Lake (called Renshoushan Road and Xishan Road) was restored in 2003, and a memorial pavilion and Yang Mengying sculpture were built to commemorate Yang Gong's achievements in dredging the lake and building the embankment.

Three Ponds Reflecting the Moon:

The Three Ponds Reflecting the Moon, the Pavilion in the middle of the lake, and Ruan Gongdun are collectively called the "Three Islands in the Lake", just like the three Penglai Islands in ancient Chinese legends, so they are also called "Three Ponds Reflecting the Moon". It is called Xiaoyingzhou.

There are three stone pagodas built in the south lake of the island. It is said that they were built by Su Dongpo when he was dredging the West Lake in Hangzhou (the existing stone pagodas were rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty).

What's interesting is that the belly of the tower is hollow, and there are five equidistant round holes arranged on the spherical body. If on a moonlit night, the hole is covered with tissue paper, and the lights are lit in the tower, the hole shape is printed on the lake surface, showing many moons, the true moon and the moon. The shadow of the false moon is indeed indistinguishable, and the night scene is very charming, so it is named "Three Pools Reflecting the Moon".

Remaining snow on the broken bridge:

The broken bridge is located at the east end of Baidi. It is said that the broken bridge was built as early as the Tang Dynasty. The word "broken bridge" was included in the poem "Inscribed on Gushan Temple in Hangzhou" by Zhang Hu at that time. The broken bridge was rebuilt in 1921, with a length of 8.8 meters, a width of 8.6 meters, and a single-hole clear span of 6.1 meters. The current broken bridge was rebuilt in 1941 and renovated in the 1950s.

There are different views on the connotation of the landscape with residual snow on the broken bridge. It generally refers to the fact that after snowfall in winter, the ice and snow on the sunny side of the bridge melt away, but there is still residual snow like silver on the shady side. Viewed from a high place, the bridge looks broken but not broken. Standing at the head of the bridge and looking around, you can have a panoramic view of distant mountains and near water.

It is said that this is the bridge where the White Snake and Xu Xian established their love.

Nanping Evening Bell:

Nanping Mountain stretches across the south bank of West Lake. The height of the mountain is only a hundred meters, but the mountain extends for more than a thousand meters.

On rainy and foggy days, the clouds and smoke cover the mountains, and the mountains seem to be dancing, misty and ethereal, as if they are far away.

In the first year of Xianxian in the Later Zhou Dynasty (954 AD), Qian Hongshu, the leader of Wuyue Kingdom, built a temple at the foot of Nanping Mountain. It later became one of the two major Buddhist temples in the West Lake, which stood side by side with Lingyin Temple in the north and south. Jingci Temple.

It is located in the southwest corner of West Lake, adjacent to Su Causeway in the east, Xiaonan Lake and Xili Lake in the north and south respectively.

There is a small stream at the foot of Huajia Mountain, which flows through here and flows into the West Lake.

Because there are many flowers and trees planted along the stream, fallen flowers often fall into the stream, hence the name "Huagang". During the Southern Song Dynasty, the chamberlain Lu Yunsheng built a private garden at the foot of Huajia Mountain not far from here. The garden was filled with flowers and trees, water was diverted into the pond, and fish of five colors were raised for viewing. It gradually became a place frequented by tourists. It is called Luyuan and also named Huagang because it is close to Huajia Mountain.

In the 38th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1699), Emperor Xuanye visited the West Lake. As usual, he wrote about the fish sightseeing in Huagang and built a stone monument beside the fish pond. Later, when Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River to visit the West Lake, another poem was inscribed on the shade of the stele. There is a sentence in the poem that goes: "Flowing Huagang at the foot of Huajia Mountain, there are fish bodies and fish sucking flowers." Today's Huagang Guanyu is a large park covering an area of ??more than 20 hectares.

Quyuan Fenghe:

Located in the northwest corner of West Lake, it is famous for its lake and lotus views. According to records, there was an official brewery beside Hongchun Bridge in the Song Dynasty. Every summer when the wind blew, the fragrance of lotus and wine overflowed, which was intoxicating. People called it "Lotus Breeze in Quyuan". In the Qing Dynasty, the wine shop was closed. When Kangxi visited the lake, he changed the word "qu" to "qu" and changed the word "hefeng" to "fenghe".

Nowadays, Quyuan Fenghe Scenic Area has undergone large-scale expansion and has become a large-scale garden covering an area of ??more than 420 acres with the theme of Dutch culture and wine culture.

The whole park is divided into five scenic spots: Yue Lake, Zhusu Garden, Fenghe, Quyuan, and Lakeside Forest.

The layout of pavilions, terraces, buildings and pavilions in the garden is elegant. The lotus pond covers an area of ??about 38 acres.

Leifeng Xizhao:

It is located on Xizhao Mountain on the south bank of West Lake. Qian Hongchu, King of Wu and Yue in the Song Dynasty, built it as a place to store scriptures because Huang Fei had a son. Because the hill where the tower is located is named Leifeng, later generations renamed it "Leifeng Tower". Whenever the setting sun shines in the west, the shadow of the tower stretches across the sky and the pavilions are golden, hence the name "Leifeng Sunset". During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the outer corridors of the tower were burned down by Japanese pirates. The bricks at the base of the tower were stolen by superstitious people, causing it to collapse on September 25, 1924.

On December 26, 2000, the foundation stone for the Leifeng Pagoda reconstruction project was officially laid. The new Leifeng Pagoda was built on the original site of Leifeng Pagoda. The new tower is 71 meters high, with five sides and eight floors. It is close to the mountain and the lake, making it a magnificent sight.

Pinghu Qiuyue:

The current Pinghu Qiuyue viewing spot is located at the west end of Baidi, backed by Gushan and facing the outer lake. In the Tang Dynasty, a Pavilion overlooking the lake was built, and in the Ming Dynasty, the Dragon King Temple was added. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, it was named Pinghu Qiuyue. Whenever the autumn air is crisp. The surface of the lake is as calm as a mirror, and the bright autumn moon is in the sky. The moonlight and the lake water complement each other, and it feels like "one color of lake light and thousands of acres of autumn", so a monument was erected by the lake with the title "Autumn Moon on Pinghu".

Emperor Kangxi visited Yunqi four times, wrote poems and inscribed his forehead, and gave a large bamboo tree the name "Imperial Bamboo". For this purpose, local officials in Zhejiang built "Yu Shu Pavilion" and "Huang Bamboo Pavilion" to commemorate the event. . After a gap of 43 years, Emperor Qianlong visited Hangzhou on his southern tour and then visited Yunqi six times. After the late Qing Dynasty, Yunqi Bamboo Forest was repeatedly destroyed and no longer looked the same.

After 1950, under the care of the Hangzhou City Gardening Department, the bamboo forest gradually recovered, temples were renovated, and teahouses were opened. Today's Yunqi Bamboo Path is shaded by green bamboos and tinkling streams, making it extremely cool. The path winds deep and deep, with a gurgling clear stream flowing down the path. The sweet and sweet sounds of birds come from the forest, and the whole environment is quiet and cool.

Located in Fenghuangling Mountain, southwest of West Lake. In the Five Dynasties, Longjing Temple was built here. It is said that Longjing is connected to the sea, so it is named because there is a dragon in the sea. The water in Longjing is also very strange. When it is stirred, a water dividing line will appear on the water surface, as if a hairspring is swinging, and then slowly disappear. Longjing not only has famous springs and scenery, but also famous tea. Longjing tea is one of the top ten famous teas in my country.

Hupao Dream Spring:

Hupao Spring, located at the foot of Daci Mountain, is one of the most famous springs in West Lake. The name of Hupao Spring originated from the Buddhist myth and legend that "Tongzi Spring in Nanyue will send two tigers to move here".

It is said that the eminent monk Xingkong of the Tang Dynasty once lived in the Daci Valley where Hupao Spring is located. Seeing the beautiful scenery here, he wanted to build a temple here, but he suffered from the lack of water. One day, he dreamed of two tigers running across the ground and a clear spring gushing out. When I woke up the next day, I found a sweet spring, which was named "Hupao Spring".

Hupao Spring is geologically a fissure spring with a strong water source and excellent water quality. Its formation is related to the unique local natural conditions. Hupao Spring, Longjing, Yuquan, Guopo Well and Wushan Dajing are also known as the five "holy waters" of Hangzhou.

Manlong Guiyu:

It is located in Manjuelong Village and in front of Shiwu Cave. Manjuelong, commonly known as Manjialong, was rich in osmanthus during the Ming and Qing Dynasties and became a famous osmanthus viewing spot in West Lake.

After 1950, a number of new osmanthus trees were planted. By around 1955, together with the old trees, there were tens of thousands of them. The oldest among them was about 200 years old. The largest plant could harvest one stone of osmanthus flowers in its full bloom. Osmanthus fragrans has become an important economic income for local villagers. Passed down from generation to generation, this "golden millet world" was finally created. Nowadays, osmanthus is planted in every household, in front of and behind the house, in and outside the village, all over the hillsides, on both sides of the road, everywhere. Every year around the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sweet-scented osmanthus trees bloom one after another, spreading their fragrance and refreshing your heart. Osmanthus varieties include golden osmanthus, silver osmanthus, red osmanthus, four-season osmanthus, etc. The flowers are small and large. When they are in full bloom, they are like heavy dew.

Jiuxi, commonly known as "Nine Streams and Eighteen Streams", refers to the number of small streams. It is located under Jiguan Ridge on the west side of West Lake. It originates from the foot of Yangmeiling in Wengjiashan, and flows into Qingwan, Hongfa, Tangjia, Xiaokang, Foshi, Baizhang, Yunqi, Qingtou and Fangjia Jiuxi streams, twists and turns, and flows into Qianjiang River.

In 1947, the famous geologist Li Siguang visited Jiuxi twice for glacier inspections and discovered the remains of ancient glaciers. He believed that during the Quaternary Period 2 to 3 million years ago, West Lake in Hangzhou was still a world of ice and snow. At that time, Halongjing was a water storage valley, which withstood a large amount of ice and snow and flowed out to the southeast through Jiuxi Eighteen Streams, forming a steep and dangerous section of Jiuxi Eighteen Streams.

During the Republic of China, there were two or three private teahouses in the Jiuxi Shibagou area, selling tea and supplying West Lake lotus root powder, osmanthus sugar, etc. There are not many tables and chairs in the teahouse. On nice days in spring and autumn, tourists use stones from the streamside as tables and chairs. After 1975, the garden department renovated and built Jiuxi restaurant, teahouse, and reception room in four phases; tidied up the mountain environment, dredged spring pools, built dams, erected painted bridges, laid stepping paths, built pavilions, and expanded the tourist area.

Ruan Dun Huanbi:

There are three artificial islands in the West Lake: Xiaoyingzhou (Three Pools Reflecting the Moon), Huxin Pavilion (North Tower Base), and Ruan Gong Dun. Ruan Gong Dun was built after Ruan Yuan, the governor of Zhejiang, presided over the dredging of the West Lake in the fifth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (1800), and the island was formed by piles of mud from the dredged lake, so it was called Ruan Gong Dun by later generations. It is the smallest island among the three islands in West Lake.

In 1981, Huan Bishan Villa was built on the island. Inside the village, a big flag was unveiled above the trees, swaying in the wind, which is quite ancient. The center of the island is a forest clearing, and the northwest consists of a courtyard composed of halls, winding corridors, low fences, and firewood gates. The southeastern shore is the dock, and the northeastern shore has a round pavilion with a fir bark top and palm columns, named "Yiyun" (meaning to commemorate Ruan Yuan). The small island floats on the sparkling blue waves, hidden among the flowers and trees, like a crystal emerald in a jasper plate. This is where the name "Ruandun Huanbi" comes from. The whole environment, with mountains and rivers in the distance, is open and bright, quiet and quiet.

It is located at the northern foot of Qixialing in the North Mountain of West Lake. Among the "Twenty-Four Scenic Spots of Hangzhou" in the Qing Dynasty, there is a "Yellow Dragon Gathering Green". The name of the scene "Yellow Dragon Spitting Green" is derived from this. It uses the word "vomit" to highlight the dragon's mouth spraying water and the bead curtain hanging upside down between the cliffs of the spring pool. Unique situation.

Huanglong Cave was a Buddhist resort in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and was converted into a Taoist temple in the early Republic of China. There is a garden in the front and a cave in the back, which integrates real mountains and rockeries.

Three Comments on the Ten Scenes of West Lake

Lingyin Zen Traces:

Lingyin Scenic Area includes Lingyin Temple and Feilai Peak. Lingyin Temple was built in the first year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 326). It is the earliest trace of a Zen temple in Hangzhou. The name of the temple comes from what the founder, the Indian monk Huili, said: "While the Buddha was alive, most of them were hidden by immortals." According to legend, the Indian monk Huili came to Hangzhou more than 1,600 years ago. When he saw the beautiful mountains here, he thought it was "a place where immortal spirits hide", so he built a temple here and named it Lingyin.

Feilai Peak, also known as Lingjiu Peak, is 168 meters high. The mountain is made of limestone and is very different from the surrounding mountains. Indian monk Huili said: "This is the small ridge of Lingjiu Mountain in Central India. I don’t know why it flew here?” Hence it is called “Feilai Peak”. There are a total of 345 cliff statues carved in the caves and cliffs along the stream from the Five Dynasties, Song and Yuan Dynasties. Among them, the Tibetan Buddhist (Lamaism) statues from the Yuan Dynasty are the most precious and can be called the masterpieces of stone kiln sculpture art in my country. Treasure.

Because there are famous mountains such as Shangtianzhu and Lotus Peak around Lingyin, the Buddha’s sound is solemn and the Zen spirit is hidden. Therefore, the Zen trace is the realm of Lingyin landscape, so it is named "Lingyin Zen trace".

Lakeside Rain or Shine:

In 2003, the West Lake Comprehensive Protection Project launched the construction of a new lakeside scenic spot, ranging from the broken bridge on Beishan Street to the land along the lake in a park.
