The famous "Ten Scenes of West Lake" appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty and were named by painter Ma Yuan and others when they were painting the landscape of West Lake.

The "Ten Scenes" are lotuses in the wind in Quyuan, spring dawn on Su Di, fish watching in Huagang, moon reflected in three pools, autumn moon on Pinghu, residual snow on broken bridge, orioles in waves in willows, sunset on Leifeng, evening bell on Nanping and clouds on twin peaks.

Broken Bridge with Remaining Snow The Broken Bridge with Remaining Snow is one of the ten scenic spots in West Lake.

The broken bridge is located at the east end of Baidi. It was also called Baoyou Bridge and Duanjiaqiao in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The bridge was rebuilt in 1921.

Beside the bridge there is a waterside pavilion "in the clouds, water and light" and a stele pavilion with remaining snow on the broken bridge.

Remaining snow on a broken bridge generally refers to the fact that after snowfall in winter, the ice and snow on the sunny side of the bridge melt away, but there is still residual snow like silver on the shady side. Viewed from a high place, the bridge looks broken but not broken.

Huagang Fish Viewing Huagang Fish Viewing is located in the southwest corner of West Lake, adjacent to Su Causeway in the east, Xiaonan Lake and Xili Lake in the north and south respectively.

According to records, there is a small stream at the foot of Huajia Mountain, which flows through here and flows into the West Lake.

Because there are many flowers and trees planted along the stream, fallen flowers often fall into the stream, hence the name "Huagang".

Lu Yunsheng, the chamberlain of the Southern Song Dynasty, once built a house here, planted flowers and fish, and built a garden, which gradually became a large scale.

The historical name of Huagang Fish Viewing originated from the title of the West Lake landscape painting by Ma Yuan, a court painter of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the Qing Dynasty, when Emperor Kangxi visited Hangzhou on his southern tour, he wrote in hand the name of the fish-viewing scene in Huagang, and erected a monument and pavilion beside the fish-viewing pond.
