Zhao Gongdi

Zhaogong dyke is one of the three dykes of the West Lake, also known as Xiaoxin dyke. In 1242, the second year of song Chun's reign, Zhao Yu, the magistrate of Lin'an (the tenth grandson of Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of Song Dynasty, was a Jinshi in 1220, the 13th year of Jiading. He was an official and a minister of the Ministry of official affairs. He also knew Lin'an for 11 years, and made great achievements.) From the second bridge of Beixin Road (the former Su dike Dongpu bridge) to the Quyuan dike, to connect Lingyin and Tianzhu. The length of the dyke is 250 feet, and "the flowers and willows along the bank are just like the Su dyke". In the fifth year of the reign of Xianchun (1269), the building increased by five feet and widened to 25 feet. The back dike was abandoned and Jinsha dike was built near it in the Qing Dynasty. After the road was built during the period of the Republic of China, it was difficult to distinguish the intermittent dike. Because the old Quyuan is beside the Hongchun bridge, it can be inferred that the Shagang road is roughly in the direction of the original Zhaogong dike.

Walking on Zhaogong dyke in the morning is like living in a paradise with flowers and birds everywhere, which makes people realize the beauty of Hangzhou. This kind of beauty is different from the atmosphere of the West Lake, but a garden style winding path leading to seclusion and winding roads.
