Bai Causeway was originally named "Baishadi". Across the East and West Lake, starting from the Broken Bridge, crossing the Golden Belt Bridge and ending at Pinghu Qiuyue, with a total length of 1 km. When Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, was appointed as the secretariat of Hangzhou, a poem said, "I love the lack of the eastbound lake, and the white sand embankment under the shadow of the green poplar." That's what I said.
Later generations commemorated Bai Juyi and called him Bai Causeway. Bai Causeway is characterized by willows and peaches. Therefore, every spring, people walk on the Bai Causeway as if they were painting.
Su Causeway starts at the foot of Nanping Mountain in the south. When Su Dongpo, a great poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, was the magistrate of Hangzhou, he dredged the West Lake and used the dredged silt. Later generations named Su Di to commemorate her achievements in managing the West Lake. The waves lying on the long embankment connect the north and south mountains, adding a charming scenery to the West Lake. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Xiao Chun, Su Causeway was listed as the first of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake.
