Yellow River Park

Yellow River Park is a masterpiece appointed by Xuzhou to transform the Yellow River and is the pride of Xuzhou people. The park runs through the ancient city, with a total length of 7 kilometers and a green area of ??157.6 acres. It is a large open public green space. Xuzhou is located in the lower reaches of the Yi, Shu and Si rivers. Historically, the raging Yellow River has brought countless heavy disasters to the people along its banks, and the people of Xuzhou have suffered from floods. In 1875 AD, the Yellow River left an old course in Xuzhou. Because the bed of the old Yellow River was higher than the ground, the banks were broken, and the river was silted up. During the flood season, the water level of the Yellow River was 3 to 7 meters above the ground, seriously threatening the property of the people in the urban area. Safety. To this end, the people of Xuzhou have fought countless arduous struggles.

The achievements and good stories of Su Shi, the governor of the Song Dynasty, and Pan Jixun, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, who controlled floods and protected the city, have been left behind. However, in the old society with low productivity, people could only rely on "Su Gu to appear" and "Iron Bull to control the water" to cure the Yellow River problem. The Yellow River is like a huge water bag that has been suspended above the heads of the people of Xuzhou for thousands of years. , there will be disaster at any time. If the flooding is not eliminated, it will be difficult to sleep and eat. Since liberation, the Xuzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have carried out large-scale improvements to riverbeds in line with the policy of "building a city for the people, building a city for the people", and basically controlled flooding by the end of the 1950s. After the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Municipal People's Government determined to fundamentally control the old Yellow River and turn flood hazards into water conservancy. On the one hand, it dredged, widened, built embankments, and laid stones to retain water on the river bed. On the other hand, it paved roads and built bridges. Flowers, plants and trees were widely planted on the river banks, and a new comprehensive management project of the Yellow River was launched. After more than ten years of construction, an open linear park lined with green trees, evergreen all year round, connected to scenic spots and with pleasant scenery is presented to the public. Therefore, the Yellow River Park starts from Hequn Bridge in the north and ends at Jizuiba in the south. It crosses 9 urban bridges such as Qingyun, Jizhong, and Heping, and 7 main roads in Zhongshan, Huaihai, Jianguo and other urban areas, with a total length of 6313 meters and a width of 20 meters, 166 flower beds, 90,225 trees and shrubs, more than 50 tree species, more than 8,000 meters of garden roads, and a green area of ??157.6 acres. The forest belt area is 43 acres, and more than 30 acres of flowers and grass are sown every year. The old Yellow River route is now like a green jade belt, winding around the waist of the city along the clear water and clear waves, becoming an important scenic tourist belt in Xuzhou City.

Kuaizai Pavilion Park

Kuai Zai Pavilion is located in Kuai Zai Pavilion Park on Jiefang Road, Xuzhou City. "Tongzhi Xuzhou Prefecture Chronicles" records: "In the southeast of the city, Li Bangzhizhijie Xuzhou was built at the end of Xining in the Song Dynasty, which was the former site of Xue Nengyang Chunting in Tang Dynasty. The county governor Su Shi named it Kuai Zai, and it was later named Kui Tower, and its common name was Jiao Zai Pavilion." Since the 10th year of Xining in the Northern Song Dynasty (1017), Li Bangzhi, who served as Jingdong's envoy to punish Xuzhou, rebuilt it on the site of Yangchunting in the Tang Dynasty, and it has gone through several ups and downs. In the 11th year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1872), Xu Haidao and Wu Shixiong rebuilt it. In the fifteenth year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1889), the prefect Guizhong Bank was expanded again. After the founding of New China, the appointed government allocated funds for repairs many times. It was severely damaged due to ten years of turmoil. In 1989, funds were allocated to rebuild it on the original site. It was opened to the public at the same time as the newly renovated Kuaiyatei Park on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The reconstructed Kuai Zai Pavilion faces south and is an independent courtyard five meters above the ground in the southeast corner of Kuai Zai Pavilion Park. Climb up more than 20 steps to enter the maroon gate, and step into the quiet courtyard of Kuaizai Pavilion. The main building of the pavilion is located in the middle, and ancient-style corridors surround it and connect it, making it appear layered. The auxiliary rooms, flower beds, and Taihu Stone River flowers and trees in the courtyard are staggered and unique. The stone road and small bridge under the steps outside the courtyard gate lead directly to Xiaoyaotang, an antique building opposite. There are pavilions, waterside pavilions and curved bridges connecting the large lotus ponds on the east and west sides of the small bridge. In spring and summer, the lotus flowers are enchanting and the fragrance is overflowing. Kuaizai Pavilion Park, covering an area of ??more than 70 acres, has become a quiet and beautiful scenic spot in the downtown area. Kuai Zai Pavilion is named after Su Shi's "Kuai Zai This Feng Fu". In the 10th year of Xining in the Song Dynasty (1077), after Su Shi was transferred to the post of magistrate of Xuzhou, he often invited guests and friends to come here to escape the summer heat. One day, Su Shi went to the city and entered the newly renovated pavilion. Li Bangzhi asked him to name it. Su Shi wrote a poem: "The joy of wise men is such a joy. Although the common people are not independent, the family members and guests are in the same boat. Mu Ruqi came, and he has denigrated the virtues of a small man. He arrived so swiftly, how can he be the hero of a great king?" As the kite retreats above the capital of Song Dynasty, the clouds fly over the Mekong River, and the few southern suburbs roar with thousands of roars, rustling the East China Sea, inspiring the four dimensions. Therefore, the people of Yujin are so small that they laugh at the humiliation of the two armpits of Yuchuan, fighting each other. The feathers are covered with sweat and follow the dragon's movements, making the horns staggered." From then on, Yangchun Pavilion was renamed Kuaizai Pavilion. The former Kuai Zai Pavilion was built at the corner of the ancient city wall. The north became Kui Tower, one of the five buildings in the ancient city of Xuzhou. It was distributed around the ancient city together with Pengzu Tower, Bawang Tower, Huang Tower and Yanzi Tower. Kui Lou worships Kui Xing, a god worshiped by literati. In ancient times, there was a temple fair every May 16th, and the incense was very popular. Because the building was built in the southeast of the ancient city, it formed a corner building. Xuzhou's ancient city wall is famous in history. In 1928, it was demolished by the then garrison who stripped the bricks and sold them for money. Today, the city wall under the Kuai Zai Pavilion has been restored. Visitors can look up from the Kuai Zai Pavilion and have a panoramic view of the scenery inside and outside the ancient city, making it a tourist attraction for both ancient and modern times. Chen Shidao, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote in "Deng Kuai Zai Pavilion": The city and the Qingjiang River are connected, and the springs flow between the rocks. The setting sun has just begun to disappear, and the evening mist has already settled on the mountain. Wherever the bird wants to go, it is free to fly to the clouds. The joy of being here is endless, so a child must return.

The apricot blossoms are the same color for thirty miles, and the bridegroom leaves like a horse." This refers to this place. 11. Cold Wave Feihong: In the middle of winter, the water vapor on the lake surface In the dense mist, flocks of geese descend, densely packed with stars, or startled by the sound, like a whirlwind rising into the sky, scattering on the water, stirring up splashes of water, becoming a major landscape of Winter Lake
