When it comes to Jiangnan, the misty and rainy scenery always comes to mind, and "people with small bridges and flowing water" describes the beautiful scene of Jiangnan water town. These days, the weather in Nanning is also rainy and rainy, and it is also a scene like rain and fog in the south of the Yangtze River. South Lake, shrouded in misty rain, shows its mysterious side.

Nanhu Park, located in Qingxiu District, southeast of Nanning, is a park integrating water landscape and subtropical garden scenery. South Lake is divided into three parts: upper lake, middle lake and lower lake. The whole South Lake covers an area of nearly 1 million square meters. When the weather is clear, the lake is as clear as a mirror, and the blue waves are like a miniature version of Hangzhou West Lake.

Nanhu Lake was originally a Yongjiang River, which was connected with Yongjiang River. Whenever Yongjiang River floods, the river water flows backward into the river, flooding a large number of farmland and houses. During the period of Jing Yun in the Tang Dynasty, Sima Luren of Yongzhou recruited migrant workers and built dikes here to store water into a lake, which became the later South Lake. In the future, people planted trees and flowers by the lake, built corridors and pavilions, and turned them into scenic spots. In 1972, they officially opened them as parks, with the main features of planting subtropical flowers and trees.

When you walk into the main entrance of Nanhu Lake at the intersection of Yuanhu and Xinghu, the first thing you see is the big stone engraved with the four characters "Nanhu Park". It's like a loyal guard, standing there motionless all year round, whether it's hot or cold. There is a dense grove behind the big stone, like a green screen, which blocks the scenery inside and creates a mystery for tourists. Standing at the door, there is naturally a desire to find out.

Bypass the forest screen, walk slowly inside, and soon you will reach the lake. Standing here, you can enjoy the misty South Lake and the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, where the flowers are red and green and the lake is rippling. There is a red and black plastic track around the lake, and the ground is very clean and tidy. Some citizens are exercising, jogging, stretching or playing Tai Ji Chuan, which is relaxing and enjoyable.

Standing at the highest point of the Nine Arch Bridge in Nanhu Lake, if you look to the southeast of the lake, you can see several artificial ecological islands on the lake. These islands are very beautiful, like garden villas carefully built for "distant guests"-herons, like several golden flowers embroidered on a quiet lake, and like delicate garlands worn by ancient women when they got married.

standing on the bridge and letting the lake wind blow your hair makes people feel comfortable for a long time. Open your arms, close your eyes, and there are wisps of fresh air scrambling to get into your lungs, which is extremely comfortable. Open your eyes and look down, the lake is crystal clear, and you can see the fish swimming around happily, as if dancing. The lake is very soft, and when a breeze blows, ripples appear on the calm lake surface, and then slowly swing away, forming layers of ripples, which are really beautiful.

in the distance of the bridge, a small wooden boat is working in the lake, as if it were salvaging aquatic plants and sundries on the lake. Not far away, a few unknown waterfowl are playing in the water, bringing some agility and vitality to the beautiful South Lake. The green, fat, red, thin and milky guardrail by the lake is woven into three ribbons, just like putting a big wreath on the beautiful South Lake.

By the lake, several neatly arranged willows are like girls in the flower season, dancing with the wind and graceful. The beautiful scenery will naturally attract new people to take pictures. Under the tree, a handsome guy in a formal suit and a beautiful woman in a pink skirt are surrounded by relatives and friends, and under the guidance of the photographer, they are very much in love with each other. The happy and sweet appearance adds a touch of romance to the beautiful South Lake.

Today's South Lake bears the pursuit and dreams of contemporary Nanning people. The Chinese dream, which is full of children of Zhuang nationality, is moving forward step by step.
