Detailed explanation of Shengtianhu scenic spot

Seeing lotus flowers in summer and autumn is a major attraction here. More than 2000 acres of red lotus and white lotus grow in the lake. In summer and autumn, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, red and white, which set each other off and make people fascinated. The lake is connected with Tianshui, and the red lotus reflects the sun. Really connected with the sky, the leaves are infinitely blue, and the hibiscus is of different colors, attracting tourists from all directions. People either go into the water or go boating to enjoy the lotus, as if they were in the paradise of Yaochi, and they were leisurely and comfortable. Lotus also attracts many photographers. Every season in bloom, people flock to create photos. On the day when the lotus is in full bloom, Shengtian Lake holds the Lotus Festival every year. Thousands of tourists and locals enjoy the lotus here, and the dragon boat race at the Lotus Festival is the most active, with hundreds of games, which is very lively.

Autumn is the harvest season here, not Jiangnan, but better than Jiangnan. Fish boats fly up and down, fishermen cast nets to fish in the lake, and farmers dig lotus roots in the lotus pond, which has become another scene. There are abundant fish here, including Yellow River carp, Wuchang fish, Chinese soft-shelled turtle, crucian carp, silver carp, Monopterus albus, river crab, river shrimp and so on. The produced white lotus is also thinner, thicker, sweeter and more brittle than other places, and it has an extra mind. This product is pure natural food with unique taste. A catty of fish, shrimp and snails is more than one yuan more than the market price. During the tourist season every year, passengers can also board fishing boats and experience the life of fishermen. Fish feasts made by people who eat fish are even more delicious. If you want to taste cooked rice, you must make an appointment, otherwise you won't be able to enjoy this delicious food.

Bird watching in winter is another highlight. In recent years, Ruicheng county government has strengthened the protection of Shengtianhu wetland. The dense trees, reeds and herbs have flourished, attracting more than 230 species of birds to live in the lake and becoming an important "post station" for migratory birds, including 90 species of resident birds, 60 species of summer migratory birds and 50 species of winter birds. More than 20 species of precious birds under national first-class protection overwinter here. There are swans, cormorants, white dew, black storks, gray cranes, mandarin ducks, geese, kingfishers and all kinds of wild ducks. Every winter, it becomes a world of birds. Just like swans dancing, pheasants crowing, kingfishers crawling on the ground, orioles laughing, ducks jumping in the air, magpies queuing to report good news, and Ziyan quarreling with people in droves. In winter, the white swan is a distinguished guest here. Every year, 1000 comes to 10000 for the winter. These whispers made people here ecstatic, and the local government also allocated funds to buy vegetables and food to entertain them. These white creatures sometimes sing and sometimes play in the water, living in a harmonious and peaceful original ecological environment. In winter, birds dress up to fill the lake. Migratory birds inhabit for more than three months every year, attracting many tourists. Despite the cold, people came from thousands of miles away to visit these angels.

A trip to the Yellow River is a major feature here. People can swim in the lake not only by ancient boats, but also by their own boats, steamboats, motorboats and animal simulation boats. In order to strengthen tourism and enrich tourism projects, the local government invested 4.5 million yuan to buy amphibious hovercraft, and opened the route from Shengtian Lake to Dayudu Scenic Area, making entertainment activities more colorful.

Shengtian Lake has many legends and true stories. Xiangyu City Site is located on the loess slope in the southeast corner of Shengtian Lake, with a length of 540 meters from north to south. There is an existing city wall, facing the Yellow River in the south. A large number of gray pottery and red pottery have been unearthed. According to the Records of the Republic of China in Ruicheng County, "Xiang Yu flourished here to build a city and wanted to compete with Liu Bangguan for the world." According to legend, Xiang Yu led his wife and family to play in the lake. 1in April, 954, the archaeological team of the Yellow River Reservoir tried to dig and found that "the relics contained in the ruins of this city are in line with the times, including the relics of the Warring States period". Jing Yaoyue, the second Minister of Education of the Republic of China and a villager, once stood on the bank of Shengtian Lake during the Japanese invasion of China and shouted, "Please leave the Dragon Palace sword a hundred feet away and break the Yellow River one by one." And left a poem "Phoenix Tower": "Ten miles of cars and dust, Wan Li ship, on a hill. Shawo stretches eastward like a fish's belly and shakes southward like a tiger's head. In the season of the world, when the leopard is worried, the phoenix should stay on the dangerous platform. The sound of the river is so clear that I sat in the past without sightseeing. " During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, the patriotic general Yang Hucheng led the northwest cold tile to resist the Japanese enemy near Shengtianhu, and 20,000 soldiers fought bloody battles in Shengtianhu; In the Great Hall of the People to commemorate the 60th anniversary of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, General Secretary Hu Jintao spoke highly of the indomitable spirit of 800 brave men on the loess cliff in Shengtian Hubei, who died for their country by collectively throwing themselves into the river. Nowadays, in the hearts of local people, there is also a monument to their dedication. Shengtian Lake is a red tourist attraction.
