Scenic view of the Broken Bridges on the West Lake, Hangzhou
The Broken Bridge lies at the eastern end of the Bai Causeway, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China. According to the historical records in the Ming Dynasty, the place was so named because the White Causeway from the Solitary Hill was cut off here. The Broken Bridge is the most famous bridge at the West Lake. The Broken Bridge is seen in the folktale of Madam White Snake, where the touching and sad love story of Lady White and Xu Xian begins when they meet at the Broken Bridge and borrow the umbrella as their love-promise. In addition, the view of malting snow at broken bridge is also one of the famous Ten Scenes of the West Lake
