西湖十景英文导游词
【篇一：西湖十景英语】



name: lingering snow on the broken bridge
断桥残雪

though the name of the bridge dates back to poems in tang
dynasty, the bridge became famous because of one of the
best-known love stories in chinese folklore.

according to the legend of white snake, the beautiful girl who
was actually a white snake met xu xian on the bridge in the
rain and they fell in love with each other and an umbrella they
used became the symbol of their love. the bridge was also the
scene where they made up after a long series of ups and
downs.

thanks to the love story between the human and the immortal,
the broken bridge attracts numerous visitors and has its
legendary reputation spread far and wide all over china. many
people believe the bridge is the number one place for people in
love.

rain or shine, you can enjoy the lake views from the bridge in
all seasons. the seasonal scenery changes at the bridge itself
are equally

breathtaking, especially when the snow begins melting in
sunshine in the winter.

once in a fine day after a snowfall, standing on the bridge and
looking toward the northwest at the solitary hill and ge hill, one
can see the hills and buildings covered with snow and the lake
and hills look crystal clear. although the snowy beauty of the
scenery is a little bit chilly and lonely, many people regard it
better than noisy greens and reds in other seasons and they
believe the broken bridge fully deserves the top position it has
enjoyed for hundreds of years as the best one of the ten
westlake scenic spots.

presumably, the west lake in a fine day is no better than in rain,
in rain no better than in moonlight, in moonlight no better than
in snow. lingering snow on the broken bridge provides a proof
to justify the vivid description.

name: autumn moon over the calm lake
平湖秋月

though the autumn moon over the calm lake refers nowadays
to a fixed location and one of the top ten attractions around the
west lake, it was in the south song dynasty a general reference
to the autumn nights when people went boating on the lake
appreciating the bright moon and enjoying the cool breeze.

the poetic reference stayed general until the qing dynasty
when emperor kangxi summed up his sightseeing tour in
hangzhou and named the top ten west lake attractions. a stone
tablet was erected with the autumn moon over the calm lake
inscribed on it at a location near the solitary hill and the west
end of the bai causeway. since then the lakeside spot has been
the pronoun for the autumnal night boat trips on the lake.

a boat trip on the lake or sitting leisurely by the placid lake at
a moonlit night has long since been acknowledged as one of
the best human experiences of nature.

autumn moon over the calm lake is the best location for such
a night. sitting and leaning over the window on the top floor of
the pavilion-like waterfront building, you can command a
broad view of all the lake and surrounding hills.

the moon is bright over the calm lake, the water and the sky
merge in one color; cool breezes, the lake and the moon are of
one; willow trees and flowers show different charms in
moonlight; people and the moon have a private conversation.
time and space are beyond human reach, but seeing each
other at such a night on the lake is a pleasure human beings
can enjoy. all the human vicissitudes vanish through centuries,
but the changing moon is eternal. the moon in autumn may not
be as soft as spring breeze, and the spring breeze is still
jealous of the brightness of the autumn moon. since 1950s
autumn moon over the calm lake has been refurbished and

extended several times. the whole location is full of flowers
and plants punctuated by artificial rocks. pavilions and storied
wood buildings beside lake are merged nicely with the scenery.
winter days and summer breezes are all enchanting while
tourists looking out from these buildings see the moon over
the lake and the wooded hills on the other side. the landscape
brings all kinds of emotions to tourists. it is a nice location
where you can lounge quietly appreciating the moon, you can
sip the tea, or take a stroll along the lakeside path, or find a
place in the wood and spend sometime sitting idly in the
shadow, thinking nothing and feeling everything.

name: lotus flowers in the breezing winding courtyard
曲院风
荷

quyuan park (crooked courtyard) is situated near the mouth of
jinshajian stream, the biggest natural water supply into the
west lake.

in the south song dynasty a royal wine workshop was set up
here. in the lake next to the winery stood a large area of
lotuses waggling and dancing a little bit intoxicatingly in
summer breezes. visitors felt wonderful with both the scenery
and wine while aromas of lotus flowers and wine were wafting
in the air. the spot got its fame as one of the top ten best
attractions in that dynasty and has kept its charm in colors and
odors since then.

the park covers an area of 14 hectares, subdivided into three
sections of the crooked courtyard, lotus flower area and
waterfront wooded area.

a geographic hub of the west lake landscape, the crooked
courtyard links with the yuehu lake on the east and leads to
guos’ estate on the south

by the su causeway. on the north, it adjoins the yue fei tomb,
bamboo garden and hangzhou botanical garden.

though no longer a winery, the crooked courtyard is the
vantage spot for viewing lotus in full blossom in the summer.
the beauty of the park lies in its wide range of lotus plants of
various species. while in furious blossom, the lotus flowers
show off reds, golds and whites in different figures and forms.
broad leaves spread leisurely on the limpid lake waters and
low bridges zigzag among flowers. such a view makes visitors
forget themselves.

name: su causeway in spring dawn
苏堤春晓

su causeway became a tourist attraction as early as 1090. that
year, su dongpo, a famous poet in the song dynasty and the
governor of hangzhou, had the lake dredged. the silt and
debris were piled up and formed into a causeway. in order to
honor the poet governor, local people named the causeway
after him. today’s causeway is t
he result of many refurbishing
projects over centuries. romanticized as spring dawn by su
causeway, the scenery has stayed on the top of the best ten
resorts around the west lake since the southern song dynasty
(1127-1279).

ranged with peach, willow, magnolia and hibiscus trees, the

2.8-kilometer-long su causeway spans the west lake from the
nanping hill in the south to the qixia hill in the the
causeway stand six single-span stone arch bridges by the
name of yingbo (reflecting the waves), suolan (locking the
waves), wangshan (looking at distant hills), yadi (causeway
ballast), dongpu (eastern ford), kuahong (spanning rainbow).

when spring comes, willow trees swing slightly in the breeze.
peach trees are full of blooms, giving out intoxicating
fragrance. six bridges are the best place to enjoy springtime. at
dawn, the lake is so serene that only chirps of birds can be
heard. the lake surface mirrors the sky and bridge reflections.
peach blossoms resemble smiling faces. walking on the
causeway, one can look at the lake and the surrounding hills,
absorbing all the visual and aural pleasures created by the
breathtaking panorama.
