The romantic encounter that the White Snake and Xu Xian had on the Broken Bridge is touching, and the “Eighteen Times of Farewell” witnessed by the Long Bridge is also moving.

The Long Bridge is located at the southeast corner of the West Lake, near Jingci Temple. According to historical records, outside Qianhu Gate (钱湖门) in the Song Dynasty, the water is broad and there is a bridge across the water surface. The bridge has three gates and a pavilion. It is over 500 meters in length and is magnificent. The bridge is called the Long Bridge.

Having studied together for several years, Liang Shanbo still didn’t know that Zhu Yingtai was actually a girl who disguised herself as a boy, but Zhu Yingtai was already in love with him. When they were saying farewell to each other, they were reluctant to leave and walk on the bridge back and forth eighteen times.

Zhu Yingtai used eighteen metaphors to indicate her love, but Liang Shanbo still didn’t get her. The Long Bridge is long, but carries the shyness that they showed when expressing their love for each other, and the joy when they knew each other's affection.
