Main attractions of Hangzhou West Lake:
1, broken bridge
The West Lake Broken Bridge is located at the water dividing point between Beili Lake and Waixi Lake in Hangzhou, with one end spanning Beishan Road and the other end connected with Bai Causeway. It is said that this broken bridge was built as early as the Tang Dynasty. It was called Fuqiao in Song Dynasty and Duanjia Bridge in Yuan Dynasty. The name Broken Bridge comes from the Tang Dynasty.
2. Leifeng Tower
Leifeng Pagoda, also known as Princess Pagoda and Xiguan Brick Pagoda, is located on Leifeng Mountain in Zhao Xi on the south bank of West Lake. Leifeng Pagoda was built in 977 A.D. by Emperor Wu, Emperor Yi to worship the Buddha relic. The tower was named "Royal Princess Tower" because it coincided with the commemoration of Qian Hongchu's wife Sun Shi in the Northern Song Dynasty, shortly after her death. Later, because its peak was called "Leifeng Pagoda", it was gradually called "Leifeng Pagoda".
