Chapter 1187： Remnant Snow on the Broken Bridge

On November 29, at 8 o'clock in the morning, Li Fan, Han Zhong, Bai Yi, and Liu Yuan went to West Lake by car.

Last night, Li Fan deliberately checked the information about West Lake in the world.

Generally speaking, there is no difference from the previous life, but there are some differences from the previous life in the cultural connotation of a few scenic spots and names.

For example, "Bai Di". In the previous life, the name "Bai Di" was related to Bai Juyi, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty.

Baidi was originally known as Baishadi. When Bai Juyi was appointed as the governor, he left such a poem, "I love the lake to the east, but Baishadi is in the shade of green poplars."

In order to commemorate this great poet, later generations called it Baidi.

In addition, there is a saying that people at that time thought that this embankment was built by Bai Juyi, so they called it Baidi.

But in fact, Bai Juyi presided over the construction of another embankment, located near the stone culvert bridge outside the former Qiantang Gate, which is now nowhere to be found.

Later, even though people knew that the current "Bai Di" was not the one that Bai Juyi built in the past, in memory of Bai Juyi, the name of Bai Di was not changed and it was still called "Bai Di".

In any case, "Bai Di" was related to Bai Juyi in the previous life, and there is no such relationship in this world.

Baidi is short for Baishadi.

Another example is the Broken Bridge. There are many bridges across the West Lake, undoubtedly the most famous in the past life.

The reason and it is that the famous folklore "The Legend of the White Snake" in the past life adds endless romance to Broken Bridge.

There is no legend of the White Snake in this world, and the Broken Bridge is not as famous as in the previous life. It is just one of the many ordinary bridges in West Lake.

...

It takes about an hour's drive from the hotel where four people are staying to the West Lake.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the four of them had arrived at the bank of the West Lake. Although it was still early, there were already a lot of tourists on the West Lake.

West Lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The lake is divided into five water surfaces: Waixi Lake, Xili Lake, Beili Lake, Xiaonan Lake and Yue Lake by Gushan, Baidi, Sudi, and Yanggongdi.

Sudi and Baidi cross the lake. Three small islands, Xiaoyingzhou, Huxinting and Ruangongdun, stand in the middle of the Waixihu Lake. The basic pattern of "one mountain, two towers, three islands, three embankments, and five lakes" was created.

The place where Li Fan and the four are now is on the west side of Baidi.

Coming to the West Lake today is totally different from the experience of coming here in the previous life.

Standing on the white dike, looking at the clear water of the West Lake on both sides, there is no difference from the previous life, but these are two different worlds after all, Li Fan was full of emotion in his heart.

"Let's walk along the Baidi from west to east, brother Li, what do you think?" Han Zhong asked.

Li Fan put away his emotions, and said with a smile: "Naturally. I have heard of the name of West Lake Baidi for a long time, and now I see it as a well-deserved reputation."

Bai Yi said: "The Baidi is naturally extremely beautiful, but when it comes to the scenery of Baidi, it is the most beautiful in spring and summer. Of course, if there is a snow now, then Baidi will naturally have the unique beauty of winter. It's just that. Unfortunately, there are not many opportunities for snow here."

Li Fan said: "It is indeed a pity that there is no snow, otherwise, you might still be able to see the beautiful scenery of'Broken Bridge Remnant Snow'."

"Oh? Broken Bridge Remnant Snow?" Bai Yi nodded, "There is indeed a bridge in West Lake called'Broken Bridge', and it is at the end of this white embankment.'Broken Bridge Remnant Snow' seems to have such a saying. Brother Li I have never been to the West Lake, but I know a lot about the West Lake!"

Because the broken bridge in this world is just an ordinary bridge and not well-known, the beauty of the "broken bridge with remnants of snow" is also not as famous as in previous lives.

If you are not someone who knows West Lake in particular, you would hardly know that there is such a scenic spot.

Li Fan laughed and said: "Since you are coming to the West Lake, you naturally need to do some homework. I heard that the scenery of'Remnant Snow on the Broken Bridge' is very beautiful. When Ruixue first falls, stand on the gem mountain and look south, West Lake. Wrapped in silver, the arch surface of the stone bridge of the broken bridge is unobstructed, and the ice and snow melt in the sun, exposing the mottled bridge rails, while the two ends of the bridge are still covered by white snow. The faintly discernible stone bridge body The white snow in the culvert shines brightly, and the gray-brown bridge surface contrasts with each other. It seems to be unbroken from a distance, and it is very beautiful."

Hearing what Li Fan said, Han Zhong, Bai Yi, and Liu Yuan were all stunned and thought, "We don’t know these things, but this kid is right. I wanted to come two days ago and knew he was coming. After West Lake, I deliberately checked the information about West Lake. This curiosity...no wonder this kid has achieved such high achievements in many fields."

The three of them all admired Li Fan in their hearts, and at the same time they were a little bit dumbfounded. They originally thought that Li Fan had never been to the West Lake.

Now it seems that the identity of the guest tour guide is not always certain.

Thinking of Li Fan's description of "Remnant Snow on the Broken Bridge", Bai Yi's heart suddenly moved and said, "Could this be the origin of the name "Broken Bridge"?"

Li Fan smiled faintly, and was about to answer, but he heard a voice from behind, "Yes, this is the origin of the name'Broken Bridge'."

All four were taken aback, and quickly looked back and saw a middle-aged man in his forties standing not far behind them.

Obviously, he said that sentence just now.

Seeing the four of them looking back, the middle-aged man smiled apologetically and said: "I'm very sorry, my name is Lu Yangdong, I am a sketch painter who often paints in the West Lake area. As few people know the scene of'Broken Bridge Remnant Snow', I just heard this little brother talking about the beauty of'Broken Bridge Remnant Snow', and I couldn't help but make a sound. I'm really sorry."

Hearing what the man named Lu Yangdong said in front of him, Li Fan all smiled and said it was okay.

Afterwards, Bai Yi laughed and said: "It turns out that the name of the'broken bridge' came from this.'Broken Bridge Remnant Snow' sounds really beautiful, but it is not well-known among the various sceneries of the West Lake. regret."

Lu Yangdong nodded and said: "It is indeed a pity, but there is no way. Broken Bridge is originally an ordinary bridge, far no better than Baidi, Sudi, etc. In addition, there are not many chances of snowfall in Tangzhou, and the chance of heavy snowfall is even greater. Little, it is difficult to form the beautiful scenery of "Broken Bridge Remnant Snow", which is rare for tourists. "Broken Bridge Remnant Snow" is not well-known, but it is reasonable."

Han Zhong, Bai Yi, and Liu Yuan all nodded after hearing this. Bai Yi said, "There is really no way, unless the broken bridge can be as famous as Baidi, Sudi and other scenic spots. But of course this is impossible. That's it."

Han Zhongdao: "If the Broken Bridge can be as famous as Baidi and Sudi, the beauty of the'broken bridge with remnant snow', because it is difficult to form, will become its advantage and let everyone chase it. It's just a pity, Broken Bridge. It is impossible to become famous."

Lu Yangdong sighed and said, "Yes, so there is no other way."
