Beishan Road Hangzhou

Beishan Road is lined with the plane trees, which arch across the street, providing great shade. On the south of the Beishan Road is the Northern Inner West Lake (北里西湖), separated from the main West Lake by the Bai Di Causeway (白堤）bridged by Lingering Snow on the Broken Bridge （断桥), the Jindai Bridge （锦带桥), and Gushan Island （孤山）linked to the Beishan Road by Xileng Bridge （西冷桥).

Most of the structures are the former celebrity homes and residences from the military, the government and the business circle in the 1920s.

Today, part of the old houses have been revamped and turned into trendy and fashionable bars and cafes. They also offer western food. Wandering the Beishan Street, you are immersed in the mesmerising view of the lake, bridges, arch plane trees, the causeway, the Gushan Island where the "wife and crane son" happened.

The Beishan Road starts from the Lingering Snow on the Broken Bridge.
