The "Ten Scenes of West Lake" refers to the famous scenic spot West Lake in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province and the ten characteristic landscapes surrounding it. The Ten Scenic Spots of West Lake were formed during the Southern Song Dynasty and are basically distributed around the West Lake, with some scenic spots located on the lake. Each of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake has its own merits, and together they can represent the essence of the ancient West Lake scenery. Therefore, both Hangzhou locals and foreign tourists enjoy it and swim first.

Su Causeway

It is located in the western waters of West Lake, about 500 meters west of the lake, covering an area of ??about 100 hectares. In the fifth year of Yuanyou in the Northern Song Dynasty (1090), the famous scholar Su Shi piled up the lake mud dug out when dredging the West Lake into a long embankment running from north to south. There are six bridges on the embankment, named Yingbo Bridge, Suolan Bridge, Wangshan Bridge, Yao Di Bridge, Dongpu Bridge and Kuahong Bridge from south to north. In order to commemorate Su Shi, later generations named this embankment "Su Embankment".

Therefore, it has the most complete horizon on Su Causeway and is the best place to appreciate the entire lake landscape. Parking at the Yubei Pavilion south of Yadi Bridge, you can have a picturesque view of the lake and mountains.

Since the construction of Su Di in the Northern Song Dynasty, the plant landscape features of peach trees and weeping willows alternately planted along both sides of the embankment have been maintained.

At this time, the mist is thick, the weeping willows are green, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom, showing the beautiful and charming temperament of the West Lake.

The Broken Bridge is located at the east end of Baidi with a wide view. It is the best place to fully appreciate the landscape of the west and north waters. Because the protagonist White Snake in the famous Chinese folk love story "The Legend of White Snake" met Xu Xian here, the Broken Bridge has become the most famous bridge with symbolic meaning of love.

The location of "Liulang Wenying" was once the royal garden "Ju Jing Garden" in the Southern Song Dynasty (12th-13th century). Because there are many willow trees in the garden, the wind blows and the waves make the orioles sing gracefully, so it is named "Liu Lang Wenying". Today, "Rokuro Wenying" still retains the traditional Liulin characteristics. Wandering around, listening while walking, the willow trees blowing on your face and the warblers singing, it is a lively scene.

The most important architectural element in the landscape is the Leifeng Pagoda, which was built during the Wuyue period (977) and was preserved as a relic during the Republic of China (1924) after the tower was destroyed. It once formed the opposing landscapes on the north and south banks of West Lake with Baochao Pagoda, proving the direct impact of the prosperity of Buddhist culture on the landscape of West Lake. Leifeng Pagoda has also become a symbol of steadfast love because of "The Legend of the White Snake", one of China's four major folk love stories, giving the West Lake landscape rich historical connotations. In 2002, in order to prevent the site from being eroded by wind and rain, a protective tower was built in the form of the original tower, and the ancient tower itself and the landscape opposite the Baota were restored.

Whenever the bells of Buddhist temples ring at night, the oscillation frequency of the bells is transmitted to the rocks and caves on the mountains, forming a melodious and sonorous bell sound. Nowadays, this place has become the venue for the bell ringing event on New Year’s Eve in Hangzhou.
