West Lake Must-Visit: The Most Beautiful Xiling Bridge

🖼️Since ancient times, Hangzhou has been a city of waterways. Where there is water, there are bridges. Each famous bridge is a historical site with its own stories. Xiling Bridge, located near Gushan Park by West Lake, is a popular spot for taking photos at the most beautiful corner of West Lake, offering a perfect view of the lake and mountains. 🏗️Overview: This is a single-arch stone bridge spanning the lake, connecting Gushan Road to the south and Beishan Road to the north. Due to the love story of Su Xiaoxiao, Xiling Bridge has become one of the three love bridges of West Lake. During this season, the lotus flowers under the bridge are in full bloom, swaying gracefully in the breeze, making it a perfect spot for photography. ⛲This section is also the essence of walking around West Lake. To the northwest of the bridge is the tomb of Su Xiaoxiao, and to the east is the tomb of martyr Qiu Jin and Xiling Seal Engravers' Society. Within a kilometer along the lakeshore, there are other popular or niche attractions such as the Zhejiang Provincial Museum (Gushan Branch), Gushan Park, Lou Wai Lou, Wenlan Pavilion ancient architecture complex, Pinghu Autumn Moon, and Bai Causeway. It's worth spending half a day walking around and exploring.
