Travel notes of Zhao Zhouqiao

Zhao Zhouqiao's popularity is very high. It is a model essay in primary school textbooks, which has been read by people with primary school education or above.

I have admired Zhao Zhouqiao for a long time, and I passed by it many times when I went to Shijiazhuang, but I never had a chance to witness it with my own eyes. So, on May 23rd, 20 14, the weather was fine and sunny, so I specially drove to my dream Zhao Zhouqiao. At the exit of Zhao County of Yin Qing Expressway, our car left the expressway and headed south towards Zhao County. About 20 minutes' drive, the tourist signs of Zhao Zhouqiao are close at hand. The closer we get, the more excited and yearning we are.

Arrive at the scenic spot and buy tickets. At that time, the fare seemed to be 30 yuan. Then I entered the scenic spot and suddenly turned back. Wow, Zhao Zhouqiao is in sight. The whole bridge is tall and majestic, with a magnificent layout. The length, width and height of this bridge are beyond my imagination. In the impression of primary school textbooks, it is an ancient stone arch bridge with no other memories. Now, when this world-famous stone arch bridge really stands in front of us, it feels a little trance, dizzy and shocking.

Standing on the bridge deck, the river is still fresh in my memory. The river is swift and the current is very fast, which makes the bridge more important and precious. A new bridge has been built on the south side of the bridge. In the past, Zhao Zhouqiao was full of vehicles, but now this function may be replaced by another bridge, which is also a protective measure. There are stone fences on both sides of the bridge deck, engraved with exquisite patterns, including dragons, dragons and Ssangyong pearls. Dragon swimming and water dancing are really like dragons going into the sea, which is spectacular. One third of the bridge deck has a deep and bright stone ditch, which is said to be one of the Eight Immortals. Zhang's cart passed by and was crushed to death. Legend belongs to legend, but this situation makes people have infinite reverie.

I stepped off the bridge and stood on the stone steps beside me. I looked at the bridge. The workmanship is very close, and there are almost no gaps in the stone joints. The two bridge opening at both ends are round and beautiful, and the arch of the bridge flies north and south like a rainbow. It is magnificent, exquisite and beautiful, which makes people lament the exquisite design of Li Chun in Sui Dynasty and the restoration of ancient wisdom. Thus, greatness belongs to every era.

We take pictures happily, and do all kinds of exaggerated actions like excited children, because greatness is around, wisdom is in front of us, and heroism is in our hearts.

Unconsciously, our group has completed the examination and appreciation of this textbook-like and world-famous stone arch bridge. My long-cherished wish has finally come true. With satisfaction and comfort, I waved goodbye to Zhao Zhouqiao. Goodbye, old friend, I will come to see you in spring.
