Slender West Lake, located in the northwest suburb of Yangzhou, is a famous scenic spot. It used to be a natural river, which was gradually developed after dredging and gardening in previous dynasties.

Beauty is winding and quaint. The beauty of Slender West Lake mainly lies in its twists and turns, the lake is wide and narrow, the trees on both sides are sparse, and the garden buildings are simple and colorful.

During the voyage, the scenery is constantly changing and fascinating. Slender West Lake has a total length of 4.3 kilometers and a tourist area of more than 30 hectares. There are attractions such as Long Beach, Xu Yuan, Xiaojinshan, Blowing Platform, Yueguan, Wu Ting Bridge, Clothing, White Pagoda, etc.

The long dike is on the west bank of the lake, hundreds of meters long from the park gate to Xiaojinshan. There is a willow and a peach beside the embankment, which set each other off. This is a good place to enjoy spring. "Spring Willow on Long Embankment" is one of the twenty-four scenic spots in Yangzhou. Go along the long embankment to the end, and you will see a round hole with the word "Xu Yuan" written on it. It used to be the ancestral temple of warlord Xu Baoshan, and now it is a place for tourists to rest.

Inside the door is a pool of clear water, full of lotus flowers, and the pool is dotted with various forms of rocks. Several willows dance in the wind and the scenery is pleasant. The main hall in the park is called "Tinglan Pavilion", which has exquisite structure and simple furnishings. There is a mahogany partition wall on the front, with a screen style. Each screen has five landscape porcelain paintings of the Qing Dynasty, covered with glass, with exquisite craftsmanship.

Xiaojinshan is a small island in the lake, formerly known as Changchun Ridge, which was built in the middle of Qing Dynasty. At that time, in order to get through the water channel from Slender West Lake to daming temple, Yangzhou dry gentry dug a new Lianhualing River in the northwest of Slender West Lake, and the mound dug by the river became a hill, which is today's Xiaojinshan.

Xiaojin Mountain is surrounded by water, and the water turns with the mountain, and the mountain lives with it. There is a "wind pavilion" on the top of the mountain, which is the highest point of the whole park.

At the foot of Xiaojin Mountain, there is a dike leading to the lake. At the end of the dike is a pavilion called "Blowing Platform". According to legend, Emperor Qianlong fished here, so it is also called Diaoyutai. Diaoyutai is surrounded by water on three sides, each with a round door and a hole.

Seen from the right side of the front of Diaoyutai, the round hole in the middle just meets the scene of "Wu Ting Bridge", and the round hole on the left just meets the scene of "White Pagoda", just like two independent pictures, and its ingenious use of scenery is admirable.

Yueguan is the hall of the building near the lake, surrounded by lattice fans, and behind the hall is Guiyuan.

When osmanthus is in full bloom in August, push the window to enjoy the moon and the fragrance is overflowing. My eyes were closed for two months in the sky and underwater. This scene is very touching.

Wu Ting Bridge-the symbol of Yangzhou landscape Wu Ting Bridge was built on Slender West Lake, like a belt around the lake. There are five pavilions on the bridge, hence the name Wu Ting Bridge.

This unique and beautiful bridge has become a symbol of Yangzhou landscape. Wu Ting Bridge was designed and built by salt transporters in Yangzhou and Huaibei in Qing Dynasty to welcome Ganlong's southern tour.

The shape of the bridge is elegant and beautiful, with yellow tile bamboo columns, white railings and painted algae wells in the pavilion, which are magnificent and have southern architectural characteristics.

Under the bridge is a thick pier with northern architectural characteristics, which harmoniously integrates the architectural art, landscape design and bridge engineering of the north and south.

Wu Ting Bridge has 65,438+05 spans. On the night of the full moon in November, each hole has its own topic in January, and the 15 full moon is suspended in the water, competing with each other, and boating is interspersed among the holes, which is unique. Fuzhuang, located in the east of Wu Ting Bridge, is an island that goes deep into the lake. There is a waterfront building on the island, which looks like a duck floating on the water from a distance.

Formerly known as Jixiaoshanzhuang, it is located in Xuningmen Street next to the ancient canal, which is the most distinctive garden in Yangzhou in the late Qing Dynasty. The owner of the garden was named "He Garden" for short.

He Yuan, who was the Daotai in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty? Built on the former site of Shuanghuaiyuan, there are two big Sophora trees in the park, which have been handed down as the remains of Shuanghuaiyuan, and there is still one.

This garden consists of three parts: the back garden, the residential courtyard and the flaky mountain house.

The cloister divides the back garden into two parts, east and west, and connects the garden into a whole through cascading buildings and cloisters.

In the east, a group of courtyards are formed with the hall as the center, among which the "boat hall" is the best: the hall is shaped like a boat, surrounded by pebbles and tiles, and the pattern is wavy, giving people the artistic conception of living in water.

The couplets on the pillars of the main hall read: "The moon is the master, the plum is the guest, and the flower is a four-walled boat." It is a portrayal of the ship hall.

The rockery on the east side of the main hall is stacked along the wall, with flowing water around the mountain, beautiful forest and floating fragrance. The rockery pavilion is wing-shaped, with its back against a white wall and green water beside it. You can climb the stairs through the pavilion.

The space in the west is open, with a series of buildings as the main body, with a pool in the middle and a pavilion on it, which is a place to enjoy the cool, rest and show off the red.

And the Shui Xin Pavilion in the Garden (some people call it the stage) was built in order to skillfully use the echo of the water surface and the cloister in the garden to enhance the sound effect of its sound, so that the owner of the garden can watch operas and songs and dances. Shui Xin Pavilion was used as a scene when filming A Dream of Red Mansions and other films.

"Surrounded by water on all sides, several mounds of rockeries lament nature." Cascading architecture is the biggest feature of Heyuan's architectural art, and the long corridor is winding and extending continuously. This string of buildings is more than 400 meters long and surrounds the park.

The panes and walls of the building are engraved with poems and paintings by Su Dongpo, Tang Bohu and Zheng Banqiao, and the stone tablets on the cloister wall are inlaid with ancient poems.

The "garden mirror" on the cloister can have a panoramic view of the whole garden, giving people the landscape impression of "there are buildings outside the green hills", which fully embodies the beauty of the integration of architectural art and natural scenery.

Adjacent to Heyuan is the "flaky mountain house". According to historical records: "The flaky mountain house is in Garden Lane and Shuanghuai Garden. Wu Jialong, a Cantonese, left his job and now Wu Huimo, a Cantonese, is restoring it. The garden wins with the lake stone. "

(The Qing Dynasty's "Jiangdu County Records Continued" Volume 12) According to Qian Yong's "Luyuan Conghua" Volume 20 in the Qing Dynasty: "Between the two halls, there is a square pool."

There is a stone mountain in Taihu Lake on the pool, which is five or six feet high and very steep. According to legend, it was written by Shi Tao, a monk. "Shi Tao is an outstanding painter in the late Ming Dynasty. He once lived in Yangzhou and was buried in Yangzhou Shugang after his death.

The flaky mountain house was restored on 1989, and the forehead of the "flaky mountain house" on the lintel was transferred with Shi Tao ink. The design of this garden, based on Shi Tao's paintings, follows the principles of nature and shows natural interest, which shows that Shi Tao's poems are "surrounded by water and there are no fish in it." Don't say the world in the swimming pool is small, the volume is comfortable and the table is empty. The "artificial moon" in the rockery and valley in the garden is a wonder, full of water and interest.

Two-day tour of Yangzhou water town

The Quaker's name for Sunday

Take a bus from Shanghai and arrive in Gaoyou at noon. After lunch, take the city bus to visit Wenyou Ancient Station and Gaoyou Ancient Station, board the northwest levee of the city, and enjoy the vast scenery of gaoyou lake. Then take bus No.7 to the destination and go directly to Donghu Resort in Ma Peng.

With 400 hectares of land and water forest, Donghu Resort ranks among the top eco-tourism products in Jiangsu Province with its original ecological scenery of "wild ducks flying, wild birds and migratory birds, wild lotus flowers and wild vegetation". The Lapras-shaped ferry crossed the lake and entered the woodland. The heat in summer suddenly dropped. The long and straight Taxodium ascendens, vigorous and graceful Populus davidiana and graceful willows make up a lush forest, which has a primitive swamp forest artistic conception. Deep in the forest are cabins covered with green vines and country club guest houses, where holidays are full of fun on weekends.

The most famous tourist project in East Lake is the release of wild ducks. Hundreds of wild ducks will fly out of the Woods and reeds and land in the lake in front of him as long as they hear the unique cry from Lu High School. Qiren Road High School is in the hut at the door. According to him, wild ducks are molting these days, and it is not appropriate to summon them after mid-August.

the next day

Go to Baoying Water Temple, the hometown of lotus root, to see Shili Lotus. Lotus flowers always bloom in the morning, so it takes an hour to get to Baoying early in the morning. There are many roads to Shuisi in front of Baoying bus station, but if you want to ask which way to take, you can only see the big lotus flowers appearing from time to time on the roadside to Sheyang.

Shuisi Township has built stone bridges, wooden bridges, waterwheels and pavilions in a thousand acres of ornamental lotus gardens. This year, the lotus pond in northern Jiangsu was flooded and suffocated, and its growth was obviously not as good as last year. Lotus is only chest high. Last year, there was a man taller. Ride a farm boat to clear the lotus pond and cool the Xu Lai. The peasant woman who supported the boat rushed into the lotus bushes and jumped into the water to pick lotus flowers for us. In the pink and white lotus, the yellow stamens have grown into the embryonic form of the lotus. Standing on the rickety bow, we also hooked a few big lotus leaves, peeled off the lotus seeds and put them in our mouths, which were fragrant and sweet. The boat passed a floating leaf like a water lily, which was covered with small thorns. It turned out to be gorgon fruit. When the leaves are slowly gathered, the chicken's head rice under the leaves is gradually mature.

The most famous fresh fruit in Ouxiang is fragrant lotus root. When the lotus blooms, it means that the roots begin to bear lotus roots. When the lotus is in full bloom and the fragrance is light, the lotus root is the sweetest and crisp, which is called fragrant lotus root. Crystal clear, fell to the ground and immediately broke into eight petals. Due to transportation difficulties and low yield, fragrant lotus root can only be tasted locally. When I went last week, it was not the season to smell lotus roots, so I had to swallow saliva for nothing. Today, Baoying Lotus Root Festival opens in Shuisi, and visitors may be lucky enough to taste the best lotus root.

When I returned to the county from Shuisi, I walked along the shady river on both sides of the river. Ducks lined up in the river, and large lotus fields came into view from time to time. When I stopped at the roadside rice field, I also caught crayfish running in the field.
