Su Causeway has beautiful scenery, with different weather conditions at dawn and dusk. Sunny, rainy, cloudy and snowy have their own tastes. The scenery is also different in four seasons. The scenery is especially better in the early morning in spring, so it is known as "Spring Dawn on Su Causeway". You can walk along Su Causeway from south to north. From the southern entrance of Su Causeway near Jingci Temple, you first pass by Yingbo Bridge, with weeping willows and floating Buddhas beside the bridge, and blue waves rippling under the bridge. The corner of the West Lake on the left is called Xiaonan Lake, and there is a terrace on the other side of Xiaonan Lake. , with pink walls and black tiles, curved corridors and railings, and a very quiet scenery, this is the Jiangzhuang in the past. Passing through the main gate of Huagang is the Suolan Bridge. The lakes on both sides are getting wider. On the left is Xili Lake and on the right is Waihu. The wind is soft and the waves are soft, and the scenery is pleasant. The third bridge is called Wangshan Bridge. The lake here is wide, with Baoshi Mountain and Wu Mountain facing each other. The Three Pools Reflecting the Moon and Ruan Gongdun in the lake are clearly visible. Under the Wangshan Bridge is the "Spring Dawn on Su Causeway" stele pavilion, which was built by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. The title. Going forward is the embankment-pressing bridge. "pressing the embankment" and "locking the waves" were originally urgent measures to protect the embankment. This can be seen from the intentions of the ancients. After passing the Yadi Bridge, there is the Dongpu Bridge. The Three Ponds are far away, Xiling is getting closer, and the scenery changes again. The embankment on the left of the bridge is called Jinsha Embankment, and there is the Yudai Bridge on it, which separates Xili Lake. The north side is called Yue Lake. Lotuses are planted on the lake, and the "Quyuan Wind Lotus" is on the shore. The last bridge is the Cross-Hong Kong Bridge. "Yingbo" and "Cross-Hong Kong" become the opposite scenery. This is the northern end of Su Causeway. The six bridges on the embankment are all made of Anhui tea garden stones. They are slightly green in color and harmonize with the surrounding scenery. Peach willows are planted around the embankment, and cherry blossoms, crape myrtle, osmanthus, gardenia, hibiscus, etc. are planted on the bridge sides. Now it has become an asphalt road, equipped with long quilts and chairs, and more than 40 varieties of flowers and trees, such as willows, peach and crabapples, are planted on the wide lawn. At dawn in spring, the six bridges are covered with smoke and willows, so one of the eight scenic spots in Qiantang during the Song Dynasty was called "Six Bridges of Smoke and Trees". A poem by Li Panlong from the Ming Dynasty said: "Peach blossoms and willows compete with each other in spring, and the waves of light smoke lean against the shore. The boat stops at the radiator to look at the green sleeves, and the horse reins up the long embankment to ride the clear smoke. The flower dynasty once asked about the cold waves in the west, and the grain rain climbed to the top of Jinwu again. . Looking across the tower, thousands of mountains are lined up in front of the wine glass.
