Tourist Attractions

If Slender West Lake is compared to a classical beauty, it is Hongqiao who unveiled her head; if Slender West Lake is compared to a long drama, it is Hongqiao Opened her curtain.

Big Hongqiao

Wuting Bridge

If Slender West Lake is compared to a graceful girl, then Wuting Bridge is a girl That gorgeous belt. Wuting Bridge is not only the symbol of Slender West Lake, but also the symbol of Yangzhou City. It was built in the 22nd year of Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 200 years. There are five wind pavilions with southern characteristics built on the Wuting Bridge. The tall and beautiful wind pavilions are like five lotuses emerging from the water. There is a treasured roof on the pavilion, a ceiling is painted inside the pavilion, and wind chimes are hung outside the pavilion. The piers of Wuting Bridge are made of 12 large pieces of bluestone, forming a thick and powerful "I"-shaped bridge foundation. Why can the delicate bridge body and heavy bridge base be arranged so harmoniously? The answer lies in the bridge hole. The bridge body of Wuting Bridge is composed of rolling holes of different sizes and shapes. The ethereal vaulted roll hole is matched with the solid bridge base. The straight line of the bridge base is matched with the curve of the bridge hole. Together with the natural and smooth proportions, a harmonious and unified visual effect is achieved. No wonder the famous Chinese bridge expert Mao Yisheng commented: The oldest bridge in China is the Zhaozhou Bridge, the most magnificent bridge is the Marco Polo Bridge, and the most artistically beautiful bridge is the Wuting Bridge in Yangzhou.

Diaoyutai

The Diaoyutai deep into the center of the lake was originally a place where silk and bamboo musical instruments were played. According to legend, Emperor Qianlong visited here and somehow became interested in fishing. So someone immediately sent a fishing rod. But the fish in Slender West Lake were disobedient. Emperor Qianlong, who usually responded to every call, fished for a long time, but not a single fish took the bait. The Yangzhou salt merchant accompanying him became anxious, and immediately quietly selected a few sailors with good water skills to dive underwater with live fish. Hold the lotus leaf and rely on the lotus stem to breathe. As soon as the Qianlong fishing rod above dropped, the live arowana below was hooked. Now Emperor Qianlong was naturally very happy.

In China, there are many scenic spots named after "Diaoyutai", but Yangzhou's fishing is the smallest among the many fishing platforms, and it is also a very distinctive one. It is a model of Chinese famous pavilion architecture and a representative work of the "framed view" art of Chinese gardens. Standing at an angle of 60 degrees on the Diaoyutai, you can see the shining light of Wuting Bridge lying in the round hole on the north side; while the towering White Tower can be seen in the oval hole on the south side. This scene is full of colors and elements, horizontal and horizontal. It is truly wonderful.

This is also a place where foreign tourists must take photos when visiting Yangzhou. The borrowed scenery in the cave corresponds to the name of "Three Stars Gongzhao".

Xiaojinshan

Xiaojinshan is the largest island in Slender West Lake and the place with the densest number of buildings on the lake. The wind pavilion, blowing platform, piano room, osmanthus bookstore, chess room, and moon view are all concentrated here. The Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty was very fond of exotic flowers and stones. On the occasion of his sixtieth birthday, he decided to build a Longevity Mountain in Kaifeng Mansion, the capital. This stalactite from Guangxi was left in Yangzhou during the peasant uprising in Fangla during transportation. This is also the largest stalactite in Yangzhou. Stalactites are formed from calcium carbonate deposits in caves. Their shapes are very beautiful. Look, isn't this just a boat-shaped bonsai? ——Stalactites Let us climb up the stairs along the winding mountain road, and then we can climb to the Wind Pavilion in Xiaojin Mountain. The Wind Pavilion is the commanding height of the Slender West Lake Scenic Area. It is the place where Mr. Zhu Ziqing said, "The water in Slender West Lake is the best, and the moon is also quite good." There is a couplet on the wind pavilion: "The wind and moon are boundless, so what is your ambition here? The pavilion is still the same, I envy him to take all the smoke and water." The name Fengting comes from the first character of the upper and lower couplets. As the saying goes, "The mountain is not high, but the level. The water is not wide, but the twists and turns." This is the beauty of Slender West Lake and Xiaojin Mountain.

Wangchun Tower

The buildings across the lake from Linglong Flower Border are Wangchun Tower and General Xiao Li’s Painting Book. They are completely in the style of Jiangnan gardens. The scale of the buildings is subordinate to Xichuntai, and the colors are pure and elegant, reflecting the beauty of the south. The two rooms in the north and south on the lower floor of Wangchun Tower are the water courtyard and the mountain courtyard respectively, which bring the landscape scenery indoors. Removing the doors and windows upstairs turns it into a terrace, which is a good place to enjoy the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival. In addition, as the name suggests, Wangchun Tower is also a great place to stand and look at the beauty of spring when spring comes.

General Xiao Li refers to Li Zhaodao, the son of Li Sixun, a great painter in the Tang Dynasty. Although the father and son had never led troops, they both had the title and treatment of generals. Both of them were famous painters at that time, and together they founded the Jinbi Landscape Painting School of the Tang Dynasty in China. As the saying goes, "Flowers are the source of paintings, and the moon is the source of poetry." The name "General Xiao Li's Painting Book" refers to the fact that the scenery here is very similar to the landscape paintings of General Xiao Li.

Xichun Terrace

The Twenty-four Bridges scenic area includes Xichuntai, Linglongjie, General Xiao Li's Painting Book, Wangchun Tower and Twenty-Four Bridges. Xichuntai is the main building of the Twenty-Four Bridge Scenic Area. It is far away from Xiaojinshan, both at the turning point of the lake. This is also one of the "Twenty-Four Scenic Spots" in Yangzhou, "Chuntai Mingyue". The word "Xichun" comes from Laozi's "Everyone is bustling, like climbing the Spring Terrace". It means the bustling scene of people coming and going in front of the Xichun Terrace. Yu Dafu once commented: The bright moon of the Twenty-Four Bridge is the symbol of southern China. One of the four major autumn colors. Legend has it that Yangzhou salt merchants celebrated Emperor Qianlong's birthday here, so this scene is also called "Chuntai Birthday". The architectural style of Xichuntai reflects the grandeur of the royal garden. . All buildings are made of green glazed tiles and white jade roofs.

White Pagoda

It is said that in 1784, Emperor Qianlong took a boat for the sixth time. Visiting Slender West Lake in Yangzhou. Seeing the scenery around Wuting Bridge from the water, I couldn’t help but say regretfully: “It’s a pity that there is a white tower missing, otherwise it would look just like Qiongdao Chunyin in the North Sea. "The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is interested. The wealthy Yangzhou salt merchant immediately spent one hundred thousand taels of silver and the eunuch to buy the pattern of the White Tower in Beihai, and that night he piled white salt bags into a white tower. This is what is popular in Yangzhou. The story of "Building the Pagoda in One Night" to this day. The White Pagoda is 27.5 meters high. Below it is the girdle Xumi Pagoda base, with eight sides and four corners, with three niches on each side. The niches are carved with the portraits of the Twelve Lives and the thick and sturdy Beihai White Pagoda. Different, the white pagoda is well-proportioned and stands in harmony with the Wuting Bridge around it.

Moon View

Yangzhou is the "Moon City of China" and the moonlight in Yangzhou is beautiful. There are many places to enjoy the moon, and "Moon View" is one of them. "Moon View" sits in the west and faces the east, facing the open lake. Whenever the bright moon rises in the east, we stand on the railing and see the two moons in the sky reflecting each other. You can appreciate the wonderful artistic conception of "the moon fills the ground with water, and the clouds rise over the mountains." People often say that "the moonlight is like water." Here, the moonlight blends with the lake water, and the cloud shadows are connected with the mountain shadows. This poem was written by Zheng Banqiao. The couplet perfectly depicts the unique and charming moonlight night in the Moon View. The plum furniture in the Moon View is also very unique. The carvings are all related to the appreciation of the moon. The lotus flowers, mandarin ducks, lotus leaves, and lotus root joints are all natural and vivid. A representative work of Yangzhou woodcarving crafts.

Xu Garden

At the end of the long embankment is the "Xu Garden", which is the ancestral hall of the warlord Xu Baoshan during the Revolution of 1911. The name comes from the poetic meaning of "two orioles chirping in the green willows, and a row of egrets ascending to the blue sky". The two large iron woks in front of the Oriole Pavilion are the finest examples of existing ones in Yangzhou. It is a water-control artifact in ancient times. The prosperity of Yangzhou's economy when the smelting industry was developed in Xu Garden can be seen from this. There is a pavilion, a pavilion and a pavilion in Xu Garden. There is a meandering water outside and a pond inside, with flowers, trees, bamboos and rocks. It is just right and fully embodies the Jiangnan style. The exquisiteness and elegance of the garden

Twenty-Four Bridges

"Twenty-Four Bridges" comes from a poem by Du Mu, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, "The green mountains are faint and the water is far away, and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered in autumn; Twenty-Four Bridges, on a moonlit night, where can a beautiful lady teach me how to play the flute?"

The Twenty-Four Bridges in the minds of Yangzhou people are composed of the falling sail plank road, the single-hole arch bridge, the Jiuqu Bridge and the Chuixiao Pavilion. The jade belt-shaped arch bridge in the middle is 24 meters long and 2.4 meters wide. There are 24 bridges on each side of the upper and lower sides of the bridge. There are 2 steps, surrounded by 24 white jade railings and 24 railings. There are still different opinions as to which bridge the Twenty-Four Bridge refers to. Why don't we put aside those cumbersome textual research and savor the hazy artistic conception of Du Mu's poems that "can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words".

Wanhuayuan Garden

Wanhuayuan Garden is a scenic spot of Slender West Lake. According to Kangxi's "Yangzhou Prefecture Chronicles", "Wanhuayuan Garden was established by Zhao Kui in the third year of Duanping in the Song Dynasty (1236 AD).

Attractions such as "Jingxiang Bookstore", "Twenty-four Bridges", "White Pagoda Qingyun", "Wuting Bridge" and other attractions form a continuous scenery line on the lake with "flowers and willows on both sides of the bank are all close to the water, all the way from the terraces to the mountains". "Yangzhou Painted Boat Record" describes the scenic spot of "gurgling water on the stone wall" in this way: "gurgling water flows on the stone wall", which is won by water and stone. This is a garden chariot with clever stones, strange peaks, and spring water, flying out of the steep cliffs to form a blue lake and a red stream. The beauty of this "rock wall flowing gurgling water" is also like a new bamboo basket emerging from the bamboo basket, hanging in the air, hanging on the bank of the stream, The moss-covered and cracked rocks make the lake water lively, hence the name "Chong". The gurgling water gathers and rushes, roaring and turbulent, spraying like thunder and wind, and flowing in all directions. The gurgling flow described is water gathering together and impacting from high to low, forming a waterfall. Its hanging waterfall falls as fast as the wind and sounds like thunder. When it reaches the water, water splashes in all directions, making it a spectacular sight.

The origin of the scenic spot "Shibi Liugong" "The willow embankment is connected with Guishuang, and the dust falls when you take a walk." The water is clear against the couch, and the cool sound of bamboo enters the window. You are only good at being sincere, and you are unparalleled in getting married. Calm down your worries and listen to the murmur on the stone wall. "This is written by Emperor Qianlong to "Shibi Liugong". "Shibi Liugong" also has a name called Xu's Villa. "Xu" is Xu Zanhou, whose ancestral home is She County. He made his fortune selling salt in Yangzhou and became a big salt merchant. "Shibi Liugong" is the house built by their family. According to records, during the Yiyou period of Emperor Qianlong's reign, Emperor Qianlong came here and saw the beautiful scenery with rockeries, waterfalls, and lush flowers and willows among the pavilions, so he gave it a name: " "Shui Bamboo Residence", and wrote the above poem with a stroke of his pen. It can be seen that the Xu family's villa "Shibi Liugong" was so amazing at that time. In the late Qing Dynasty, "Shibi Liugong" was ruined by the war, and the scenic spot is no longer there.

Introduction to Yangzhou Slender West Lake Attractions

The introduction to Yangzhou Slender West Lake Attractions is as follows:

Dahong Bridge is one of the twenty-four scenic spots in the Qing Dynasty. It was built in Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. During the 1960s, the bridge spanned the Baoan Lake. The original bridge was made of wooden red railings, so it was named Red Bridge. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it was rebuilt into a stone bridge, like Changhong lying on the waves, and was renamed Hongqiao. It has been converted into a 7.6-meter-wide 3-hole low-slope bluestone bridge.

The embankment is more than 600 meters long, with a peach for every three steps and a willow for every five steps, alternating with peach and willow trees. Every spring in March, the spring flowers are in full bloom, and the willow silk dances gracefully, flying like smoke. Legend has it that Emperor Yang Guangwei of the Sui Dynasty came to Yangzhou and ordered the excavation of the North-South Grand Canal. After the canal was excavated, Hanlin scholar Yu Shiji suggested planting willows on both sides of the river to provide shade and protect the embankments. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty also planted a willow tree with his own hands and gave it the surname "Yang". Later people called the willow tree "Yangliu".

Chui Tai, also known as Diaoyutai. According to legend, Qianlong once fished here and got its name. Diaoyutai cleverly uses the "framed view" technique and has become a classic in the art of "framed view" in Chinese gardens.

Fuzhuang was built in 1921 as the villa of Yangzhou squire Chen Chenshuo. The beauty of Fuzhuang is that it is surrounded by water and is located in the water, which reflects that the owner of the garden at that time hoped that his life could rise and fall independently. Nowadays, there are platforms and railings where you can sit in the open air and look out at the water. There is a winding corridor on the west side that flows over the water, where you can look up at the beauty of the bridge and pavilions and overlook the joy of swimming fish.
