Shijiuhu photography

Nanjing is the most popular city to enjoy flowers in spring, which may be related to Nanjing's rich atmosphere of science and education. Scholars are more or less literary, and their enthusiasm for enjoying flowers and scenery is even better. Another point is that Nanjing's urban construction is really powerful. Many blocks, parks and university campuses are good places to enjoy flowers in spring, such as Xuanwu Lake Park and Mochou Lake Park, which basically have flowers all year round, with good scenery and convenient transportation. With such good resources, you will definitely choose to travel on weekends.

However, in addition to enjoying flowers in spring, there is actually a water feature in Nanjing that should not be missed, and that is the mirror of the sky in Nanjing-Shijiu Lake. Shijiu Lake is the boundary lake between Jiangsu and Zhejiang, located in Nanjing and Maanshan, at the junction of three districts and one county, namely Gaochun District and Lishui District in Nanjing, Bowang District and dangtu county in Maanshan. The main water source of Shijiu Lake comes from Shuiyangjiang, forming a water area of more than 200 square kilometers, which is clear and can be called the mirror of Nanjing's sky.

Shijiu Lake was formed by the collapse of the plain area. The water body is relatively shallow, generally around 1 meter to 2 meters, and can accommodate 30 tons of ships. It is an important waterway between Nanjing and Maanshan. It may be too close to the urban area, so Shijiu Lake also faces some environmental problems, such as the shrinking water area, such as the easy formation of flood corridors in rainy season. Agricultural production has the greatest impact on Shijiu Lake, and the unreasonable reclamation area around it is too large.

Shijiu Lake is actually a treasure lake, which is known as "fighting for gold at sunrise and fighting for silver at night". Shallow water is more suitable for the growth of all kinds of aquatic plants, and rich aquatic plants are beneficial to the growth of all kinds of fish, shrimp and crabs, so Shijiu Lake is quite rich in lake production. The most famous are the "Three Treasures of Shijiu Lake", crabs, whitebait and wild ducks. Unfortunately, due to previous overfishing, the Shijiuhu Whitebait Fund basically disappeared.

But in 2 1 century, the ecological environment of Shijiu Lake was concerned. Anhui and South Kyoto established nature reserves in the lake area, and the wetland system environment of Shijiu Lake gradually recovered. Among them, the Swan Nature Reserve has been set up in Lishui District of Nanjing, which also has certain tourism functions. The main activities of waterfowl and birds in the reserve are also more abundant. More precious are red-crowned cranes, egrets, cygnets and cranes. , better ornamental, but also the favorite of photographers.

Although Shijiu Lake may not compete for gold at sunrise and silver at night as before, it is still an important water area in Nanjing, and together with Gucheng Lake in the south, it is the main aquatic product producing area in Nanjing. Shijiu Lake, which hopes to be protected and valued, will live up to the reputation of Nanjing as a mirror of the sky and improve the environment.
