Bai Causeway is one of the most iconic landmarks along Hangzhou's West Lake, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This tree-lined causeway stretches about 1 kilometer across the lake, connecting Solitary Hill to the north shore. Named after the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi, it offers a tranquil escape from the city. Visitors can stroll or cycle along the paved path, passing weeping willows, peach trees, and several arched bridges. The views of the lake, surrounding hills, and distant pagodas are breathtaking, especially at sunrise or sunset. The causeway is also a popular spot for locals practicing tai chi or flying kites. It's a must-visit for anyone wanting to experience the classical beauty of Hangzhou, often depicted in Chinese paintings and poetry.
