Where did White Snake and Xu Xian meet?

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.

Broken bridge and broken snow are one of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake. Broken Bridge is located at the eastern end of Bai Causeway. In the Southern Song Dynasty, it was also called Baodu Bridge and Duanjia Bridge. There is a waterside pavilion with "light clouds and fresh water", and there is a pavilion with broken bridges and broken snow beside the bridge. There are different views on the connotation of the broken bridge remnant snow landscape. Generally speaking, after the winter snow, the snow on the front of the bridge will melt, but there is still residual snow on the negative side. Seen from a height, the bridge seems to be broken. Standing on the bridge, looking around, the distant mountains are close to the water, and the panoramic view is a good place to enjoy the snow scene of the West Lake. It was renovated again in the fifties. There is a pavilion in the northeast of the bridge, in which there is a monument of "Broken Bridge and Residual Snow".

Its name is associated with the sad love story in China's folk story The Legend of the White Snake. White Snake and Xu Xian met here, helped each other back to the city, and made a promise with an umbrella. Later, we met here and made up. In the Yue Opera "Legend of the White Snake", the white snake sang: "The scenery of the West Lake is still the same ... I feel heartache when I see the broken bridge, and my family is gone!" It has always been a tear-jerker, leaving endless memories for every visitor who visits the broken bridge.
