This broken bridge was built in the Tang Dynasty. Located at the water dividing point between Beili Lake and Waixi Lake in Hangzhou, one end passes through Beishan Road and the other end connects 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. Among many bridges in the West Lake, it is the most famous. The name Broken Bridge comes from the Tang Dynasty.

The old buildings preserved in the lakeside area are mainly houses, hotels, shops and villas after the Republic of China. In the transformation, the landscape of this area has been maintained to a certain extent and given new connotations. Small courtyards, alleys, small patios, grey slopes, arcades, grey brick walls, cornices, Shikumen, wooden doors and windows will reappear in every corner of the new lake. What is particularly worth mentioning is the architectural form of the arcade, which emphasizes "deja vu" in the transformation.
