The snow scene of the west lake enjoys very high praise by people, especially the view of "Belting Snow at Broken Bridge". HRC is pleased to offer great service to build a unique China Tour or Indochina Tour for you.

There are different sayings about the name. One of them is that it snows almost every winter in Hangzhou and when the sun comes out after snowfall, the snow on the sunny side of the bridge melts first, while the snow on the shady side still lingers. Looked at a distance or from a nearby hill, the bridge appears to be broken.
