Travel Documentary (42) Entering the Endless Taihu Lake

Poetry says: Taihu Lake is boundless and boundless, and Tianshui is connected by a line. From a distance, the mountains are foggy, and the myopia layer is misty. The camphor trees on the shore reflect green shadows, and the cherry blossoms by the pool are in full bloom. Tourists go to the waves to enjoy the light, and idle guests return to the ship at sunset.

at the beginning of an ancient style, it is said that the Taihu Lake is endless with faint smoke. It is located in the south of Jiangsu Province, south of the Yangtze River, bordering Wuxi, Jiangsu Province in the north, Huzhou, Zhejiang Province in the south, Yixing, Jiangsu Province in the west and Suzhou, Jiangsu Province in the east, and is located in the Yangtze River Delta. In ancient times, two major water systems, Tiaoxi and Jingxi, merged into the lake, and the Yangtze River, Qiantang River and the two rivers flowed eastward, forming many lakes such as Taihu Lake, Yangcheng Lake and Dianshan Lake. Taihu Lake, known as Zhenze and Tuju District in ancient times, also known as Wuhu and Lize, is one of the five largest freshwater lakes in China.

In 1975, when Guo Moruo visited Taihu Lake, he left a beautiful poem saying, "The best part of Taihu Lake is, after all, in Yuantou". In the spring of March, we came here, took a bus from Wuxi and went straight to Yuantouzhu, Taihu Lake in the afternoon. After walking on the road for half an hour, I came to the parking lot of Yuantouzhu. After parking, go to the ticket office, buy a ticket and walk into the scenic spot.

As we walk, we can see that the Taihu Lake is vast, boundless, misty and connected with Tianshui. Standing on the shore and looking out, the lake in Wang Yang is rippling with the breeze. Fares in the distance shuttle through the lake, and some disappear at the edge.

This used to be the land of ancient wuyue. There have been many stories here in history, such as the story that Zhou Taibo abdicated as the king of Wen and built Wu here, Wu Zixu's father was killed, fled Chu to Wu, avenged his father, sent troops to attack Chu, the king of Yue Gou Jian restored the country, and went to the doctor Fan Li and Xi Shi, all of which happened here, giving people infinite reverie.

There are many scenic spots in Taihu Lake, the most famous of which are Fairy Island and Sakura Valley. Taihu Lake Fairy Island is viewed from Yuantouzhu. There are four small islands connected in the lake, the largest of which is Sanfeng, and there is Tianjie on three san. To go to Xiandao, you need to take a boat at the pier. As we have been there, we didn't go this time. Sakura Valley has also been there.

In addition to Xiandao and Sakura Valley, there are other places near the lake, such as Xiuyin Mountain Light, Yuantou Perfect Place, Yuanzhu Chuntao, Yuantouzhu Lighthouse, Baoyu wuyue and Taihu Sunset. The main goal this time is to see these scenic spots. So we walked around the shore of Taihu Lake.

along the way, there are many cruise ships moored at the shore pier, which provides convenience for pedestrians to travel in the lake by boat at any time.

these boats are both big and small. Many docks on the shore have plank roads built on the water to take a boat.

There are tall and ancient camphor trees, Platanus acerifolia (also known as Platanus acerifolia), Ulmus pumila, Metasequoia glyptostroboides, Podocarpus mandshurica and water wax on the lakeshore. There are also low boxwood, wild camellia, etc., which are lush, and pedestrians can walk in the cool shade, which is particularly comfortable.

There are also cherry blossoms in full bloom here, which are very colorful among the green trees. Especially the reflection in the water is beautiful. People who come here to travel all take photos as a souvenir. People are under the flower trees, overlooking the misty and billowing Taihu Lake.

There are commercial shops on the shore, where there are all kinds of local specialties and handicrafts, as well as all kinds of restaurants and snacks. There are many empty corridors on the shore for tourists to relax and rest.

The trees here are luxuriant, with trees and shrubs. There is also a natural hollowed-out Taihu stone configuration, which makes the scenery on the shore of the lake become a beautiful picture scroll. There is a small mountain ridge next to it, and there is a boulder in front of the mountain promontory, with four big characters written on it: "Xiu Yin Shan Guang" is here to watch the mountain scenery, which is really beautiful.

I came to a gazebo with five big characters on it: "The Great Place of Taihu Lake" is said to be Guo Moruo's ink. It can be seen that observing Taihu Lake here has the best visual effect.

On the right wall of the pavilion, there is the ink mark of Guo Moruo's poem "Swimming on the Fish Head", which reads: "Walking on the Fish Head, the turtle mound floats on the water. Surrounded by waves, thousands of hectares are covered with gold. Fan Li's cave is still there, and the female barbarians are thriving. There is no place in the light, and the sails will see the boat. "

There is a scenic spot where people must stop and watch. A huge stone stands, and there are four big blue characters written on it: "Zhu Zhu Chun Tao" and three small characters "Liu Chunlin" under it. It is said that this Liu Chunlin was the top scholar in the late Qing Dynasty.

Going forward is the lighthouse of Yuantouzhu. On the tower, there is a black plaque with the poem "Inscription of the lighthouse of Yuantouzhu", which says, "There are thousands of things in the earthquake, and you will spit out Kyushu. Wuyue to also, fishermen. It's dusk, and the wind number is especially good. Hongbo is angry and worried about life. Kindness worships structure, and a giant sky floats. The light shines brightly and shines all around. Refers to the lost road, feel safe on the shore. Le Ming is here, dare to tell the boat. " Signature: Yi people Wu, Huang Ke.

Further on, there is a steep cliff surrounded by mountains and water, and there is a pavilion on the cliff. On the cliff near the lake under the pavilion, there are four big red characters: "Bao wuyue". It is said that it was written by Liao Lun, the magistrate of Wuxi, a scholar, when he traveled to Taihu Lake by boat during Guangxu period in the late Qing Dynasty. The moral is that this place is the land of ancient wuyue, praising the vast Taihu Lake, and raising thousands of children of Taihu Lake with a broad mind.

as the sun sets, we just go to see the sunset photos of Taihu Lake. The sunset glow dyed half the sky red and shone on the surface of Taihu Lake, reflecting the orange lake light like a mirror. Small bridges and flowing water, trees reflecting each other, are an excellent landscape. An ancient anonymous poet once wrote the poem "Sunset of Taihu Lake": "The sails float in the sky, and the waves are shining and the water is clear; Xiafei is dyed in color and surges with sunset red. " A beautiful sentence. Because of the time, I had to go back the same way and take a bus to Wuxi.
