Why is the shortest embankment of Hangzhou West Lake called Bai Causeway?

When traveling to Hangzhou, almost no one will not go to the West Lake. As the most famous and legendary lake in the world, Hangzhou West Lake has long been imprinted in the minds of China people. Even if you have never been there, you can tell a short story about White Snake, Xu Xian and Xiaoqing.

Hangzhou West Lake has three main dikes, namely Su Causeway, Bai Causeway and Yang Gongdi. The shortest of the three dikes is Bai Causeway. Every winter, broken bridges and snow? Glasses will attract photographers to make a special trip to shoot. This is where White Snake and Xiaoqing met Xu Xian after flooding Jinshan. At that time, Xiaoqing was very angry and wanted to solve the heartbreaker, but Xu Xian made up with tears.

The broken bridge is not really broken, but because the snow presents the illusion of broken bridge.

Nowadays, the broken bridge has become a must-see attraction for tourists. There is a lush lotus field by the bridge. In spring, green is in full bloom, and in summer, the scene is romantic, aesthetic and poetic.

There are many famous scenic spots and landmark buildings in Bai Causeway, such as Gushan, Xileng Printing House, Louwailou and Su Xiaoxiao's Tomb.

Xileng Printing Factory, located in the middle of Bai Causeway, is a garden in the south of the Yangtze River, with unique courtyards and quiet mountain roads hidden in white walls and tiles. With the fresh air, you can not only enjoy the wild interest of the mountains, but also feel the delicate feelings of the gardener.

Xilong Printing Company was founded in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, and it was the first printing company in China.

West Cold Printing Society presents Jiangnan gardening aesthetics everywhere, highlighting the elegance of Jiangnan people. The pond in the middle of the yard, plum blossoms beside the pond, ancient trees, bamboos, maple leaves and all kinds of plants with and without names set each other off and become interesting. Feel free to visit, such as entering the secret realm.

Many tourists think that Bai Causeway is named after the legend of the white snake, but this statement is actually wrong.

Bai Causeway, which started from the broken bridge in the east and ended in the autumn moon in Pinghu, was originally named? Baishadi? . Bai Juyi, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, was the secretariat of Hangzhou, and he chanted Bai Causeway. In addition, he did some good things during his tenure, and later generations called it the short of the three dikes of the West Lake? Bai Causeway? Although this statement has been recognized by some scholars, it is controversial.

There are many rainy days in Hangzhou, and the smoke cage West Lake is like ink painting. Walking on the Bai Causeway, you can see the Leishan Tower from a distance, but you can see the continuous mountains, lush greenery, pavilions dotted on the shore of the lake, and various cruise ships shuttling on the lake. This scene is not a fairyland, but it is better than fairyland.

As the first lake in China, Hangzhou West Lake, with its four seasons changing, brings different perspectives to tourists and continuous inspiration to creators.
