The romantic fairy tale of West Lake, it's snowing heavily in Hangzhou

Coming from Beishan Street and walking through the White Causeway, the snowflakes fluttering in the sky, looking back at the faintly visible Broken Bridge Remnant Snow, I finally understand the origin of the name 'Broken Bridge Remnant Snow'. Although it's early morning, it seems that the rapidly changing temperature has been thrown out of the clouds, as if I am in the silver-dressed romantic fairy tale world of West Lake, shocking‼️ This was taken in February 2022📷, but the feeling at that time is still fresh in memory. Avoiding the peak crowd, taking advantage of the increasingly thick snowflakes❄️, wandering all the way in the heart of West Lake, a few flat boats on the lake, swaying, as if in a fairyland, counting the footprints👣 just covered with layers of snow on the road, guessing that I am the how many people step into this extraordinary place, (haha shy). About taking pictures📷: 1️⃣Some people ask, why is the white particularly conspicuous in the picture, as if the camera is broken, I smile and say to my friend, no no no! The flash is on, just to show the details of the snowflakes; 2️⃣Actually, most of the time when taking pictures, it's a 16:9 picture, and it seems to lose some flavor after cropping, and the vertical format is more casual; 3️⃣From the White Causeway all the way to Gushan Park, turn back and go to the outside building, I can't move my feet, this heavy snow has been long awaited, under the contrast of few pedestrians, as my friend said, it's extremely romantic, so I also took it in 4️⃣The snow kept falling at that time, or mainly enjoying the snow scene of West Lake, holding a large umbrella, also to better protect the camera, and can resist some cold. When I got to Xiling Bridge, it was almost nine o'clock, and the vehicles and pedestrians gradually became congested, so I moved on to the next destination. I want to compare West Lake to Xizi, light makeup and heavy makeup are always appropriate. Indeed, the fairy tale world of West Lake in the heavy snow is also a unique one. It's important to go out and play in the snow‼️Keeping warm is also important, without heavy burdens, a thermos cup, a small camera, an umbrella and a mobile phone are all, go out lightly. It has also cooled down during this period, looking forward to the heavy snow in Hangzhou again!
