Recently, Hangzhou’s West Lake experienced its first snowfall of the winter, bringing back the iconic ‘Duanqiao Canxue’ (Broken Bridge in Lingering Snow) scene. One of the ‘Ten Scenic Spots of West Lake,’ this phenomenon does not involve an actual broken bridge. Instead, after a snowfall, the snow on the bridge melts unevenly—sunny areas thaw while shaded parts remain white. Viewed from a distance, this creates the illusion that the bridge is broken. Located at the eastern end of Bai Causeway, Duanqiao Bridge connects Beishan Road and Gushan Island and carries rich historical and romantic associations, famously linked to the legendary meeting of Lady White Snake and Xu Xian. When the sun emerges after a snowstorm, the contrast between melted and snow-covered sections enhances the ‘broken’ visual effect. This enchanting sight draws countless visitors for photos and has long inspired poets and artists. Authorities remind tourists to dress warmly, follow park guidelines, and help preserve this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
近日，杭州西湖迎来今冬首场降雪，著名的‘断桥残雪’景观再现。作为‘西湖十景’之一，‘断桥残雪’并非指桥真的断裂，而是因雪后桥面积雪融化不均，从远处望去，桥面似断非断，形成独特视觉效果。断桥位于白堤东端，连接北山路与孤山，历史悠久，相传为白娘子与许仙相会之地，更添浪漫色彩。每当雪霁初晴，阳光照射下，桥阳面雪融而阴面仍覆白雪，远观如桥中断，故得名‘断桥残雪’。这一奇景不仅吸引大量游客驻足拍照，也成为文人墨客笔下吟咏的经典意象。气象部门提醒，观赏雪景需注意防寒保暖，并遵守景区秩序，共同保护西湖这一世界文化遗产。
