Huang Dawei's Chishan Prose

In the shooting plan of Liuhe is a Good Place, there are a group of egrets in Huang Dawei Wetland Park, but no one in the shooting team knows the specific location of Huang Dawei, only that it is by the Xiangyang River. Someone suggested contacting the comrades of Chengqiao Street Tourism Office, but I think Chengqiao is so big, just ask the people nearby, don't bother the street people, they are very busy. In addition, it is said that the wetland park has thousands of acres and is not a small place.

After crossing Chengqiao Street, on the roadside leading to Xiangyang River, we asked a family. An old farmer came out. He thought about it and told us that there was a Huangying Road not far from the left, where there were many farms, egrets and wild ducks.

Among many farms, we chose the largest one. In the farm, intensive fish ponds are arranged neatly, and egrets swim from time to time. The host politely invited us to shoot on their watchtower, saying it had a good angle. The watchtower is four or five stories high, and the friends who shot it were very enjoyable and condescending, and the whole scene was panoramic. In their shots, egrets lie or fly, swim or walk, some are leisurely, some are panicked, some are alone, and some are in pairs.

I especially like a pool of autumn lotus in the distance, gaunt leaves and abrupt lotus leaves. Don't play games and tell them to take more close-ups.

When I came back to see a movie at night, the leader said with a smile that we made a mistake. Judging from the films taken by CCTV, there are hundreds of acres of water, which are basically original ecology. There can't be so many intensive fish ponds. We don't believe it. Call the farm owner according to the business card. He said that what we filmed today was Huangying Farm, not Huang Dawei Wetland Park. The wetland park is in front of them, but he doesn't know how to get there.

The next morning, we called the comrades of Chengqiao Sub-district Tourism Office and asked them to take us there. They are embarrassed, saying that Huang Dawei Wetland Park has not been included in the scope of the open park, and it is not good for them to interfere with enterprises too much. We played up the significance of shooting Liuhe scenery film and begged them for help. Near noon, the comrades of the Tourism Bureau called and said that there should not be too many people and not too long to go in the afternoon.

After lunch, we went to Huang Dawei Wetland Park under the leadership of the comrades of the Street Tourism Office. From Chengqiao Street through the Liuhe West Main Line, I went to a rural cement road in Jinzhuang. After many twists and turns, I went to the Xiangyang River embankment and got off the embankment for a while. After walking along a gravel road at the foot of the embankment for about ten minutes, I saw a pair of doorposts, which led to Huang Dawei Wetland Park.

Entering the door, there are three simple bungalows on the left hand and an ordinary country road on the right hand. On both sides of the path are ponds of different sizes, and there is a rowing boat fishing in the pond. We are all disappointed. Is this almost desolate place the picturesque Huang Dawei Wetland Park on TV?

A middle-aged man with a unshaven beard came out of the bungalow and greeted us warmly, asking the fishermen in the pond to come up and have a look with us. The worker's rowing boat was still a few feet from the shore, and he jumped onto the shore. Judging from his accent, he is a foreigner. Later, I learned through chatting that he was from Xinghua. He has been here for seven or eight years. There were seven or eight workers who came together at that time. Everyone else left because of poor conditions. During this period, the workers also changed five or six crops. He didn't leave because he couldn't bear to part with the waterfowl in the Taxodium ascendens forest.

Xinghua people led us along the path for a few minutes and stopped at a tributary of a river. There is a small motorized sailboat with a shed on the bank of the tributary of this river. He untied the cable and led us aboard. On both sides of the branch of the river are dense poplars, and the leaves reflect golden brilliance in the afternoon sun.

The plane sailed in the branch river for more than ten minutes, when suddenly a photographer at the bow shouted, "Chishan! Chishan! " At this time, it was discovered that the bank of Populus alba was on the left, and the water surface on the right gradually widened, and Taxodium ascendens was on the way. Taxodium ascendens is getting closer and closer, more and more. These Taxodium ascendens are several feet high, their lower parts stand in the water, their trunks point to the sky, their branches and leaves are flourishing, and their branches and leaves gradually narrow from bottom to top. The whole tree is a sharp isosceles triangle, also like a slender pagoda.

The master who sailed slowed down, and the friends quickly turned on the camera and got busy with long guns and short guns. The photographer set up a tripod in the cabin and focused on shooting in Chishan. There are several people with cameras on the bow, and they only hear "click" and "click". I also took out my mobile phone and leaned against the fence, taking photos and videos.

Sunlight falls quietly on Taxodium ascendens, and Taxodium ascendens casts the shadow of trees in the water. The distant Taxodium ascendens and the reflection in the water form a green diamond. When our ship passed by, we broke these reflections, sparkling and swaying. What a flowing green place!

Look carefully, Taxodium ascendens are in rows and columns. According to the boatman, when they first came here, it was still a depression. Taxodium ascendens was planted artificially and put into water to form this lake.

"Egret!" The sharp-eyed photographer shouted happily, "Don't shout, it's an egret, don't run!" " "

The master who sailed smiled: "There are many egrets and other waterfowl moving forward. I'm sorry you came at a bad time. If it is spring and summer, there are many birds in this Taxodium ascendens forest to nest and reproduce, so much more! Birds swim in the water, squat in the nest, fly in the sky and fall on the trees. All kinds of calls come and go, long and short, and the calls are beautiful. It is a paradise for birds! But the most egrets, such as white flowers, are scattered in the Taxodium ascendens forest! " He also said that he didn't want to leave here because he was afraid that he wouldn't hear their voices and see their figures. His son asked him to go back to his hometown in Xinghua several times, but he refused.

As the Xinghua man said, there are more waterfowl, egrets, wild ducks, and many things that we can't name or even see. He slowed down the boat. I don't know if it's for us to shoot better or not to disturb these lovely little guys.

The photographer wanted to take a better picture and put it in the depths of Chishan Mountain. The boatman politely refused, saying that the egrets there were in love, so let's not make light bulbs!

At this time, I found that, although it had been open for a long time, the left side was still the big white Di Yang, and we kept walking along the edge of the Taxodium ascendens forest, which was also confirmed from the perspective of sunshine. Dabai Di Yang is curved, surrounding Chifir forest in her arms.

The photos taken at this time are backlit, but this backlight also has its unexpected benefits. One of my photos, later named "Big Head Ghost" by netizens, was taken here. The sun fell from the Woods, and the combination of light and shadow accidentally formed a ferocious big head on a Taxodium ascendens. Eyes, nose and mouth are very similar, especially Barry Bai Sensen's teeth, that big mouth, clearly visible. Even weirder, the sun left a red light mass next to the big head! Some netizens described it as horrible and gloomy, but I like the strangeness and mystery of the original ecology revealed in it.

Happy times are always short. Although the watch showed that more than two hours had passed when we disembarked, we felt it was short and not exhausted. Want to ask Xinghua people to return along the road again, he smiled and shook his head, pointing to the way back after we landed.

After landing, I passed a long bank with barbed wire fence, several rice fields, water chestnut fields, and a large area where rare birds such as black swan, great gray goose and peacock were raised before returning to the bungalow at the door.

The bearded middle-aged man and the comrades of the street tourism office are waiting for us while chatting. It is a pity that such a good place is not open to the public, so I made the mistake of being a good teacher again. I told the middle-aged people how to develop considerable ticket income, and the middle-aged people just laughed without saying a word. Comrades of the Street Tourism Office stopped to say that at the beginning, they also planned and developed according to the ideas of parks and farms, invested a lot of money, opened up many excellent fish ponds for fishing, and bought many rare birds and animals. But later, they saw so many waterfowl breeding and inhabiting every year that they couldn't bear to break their quiet life and had to give up reluctantly. At present, the operation of the park mainly depends on the income of fish farming, but due to too many birds, the output of this kind of fish is also decreasing year by year.

Hearing this, I was deeply shocked and ashamed of my thoughts. In this impetuous and snobbish society, there are still people who are obsessed with this calmness and innocence, fame and fortune! No wonder Huang Dawei Wetland Park is still locked in the boudoir!

Beautiful yellow David Taxodium ascendens! Beautiful people of Huang Dawei!
