Recommended Attractions (I) The Top Ten Scenic Spots of West Lake Spring Dawn on Su Causeway: Su Causeway was built by Su Shi, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, when he was the governor of Hangzhou, using the silt dredged from West Lake. In spring, the weeping willows on Su Causeway are graceful, the peach blossoms are bright, and the green grass is like a carpet. Six bridges span the lake, each with its own characteristics. Strolling along Su Causeway is like being in a beautiful landscape painting. Lingering Snow on Broken Bridge: One of the top ten scenic spots of West Lake, it is also the most romantic attraction.
