Introduction to the tourist attractions of West Lake

The wind and lotus in Quyuan, with the theme of watching lotus in summer, is the second among the ten scenic spots in West Lake, thanks to the spring dawn in Su Causeway. Quyuan was originally a brewing workshop opened by the Southern Song Dynasty imperial court. It is located near Hongchunqiao, Lingyin Road, near the shore of the West Lake at that time. Lotus flowers were cultivated on the shore of the lake. In summer, when it is breezy in Xu Lai, the fragrance of lotus and wine is flowing everywhere, making people drunk without drinking. The following is an introduction to the tourist attractions of the West Lake that I have carefully arranged for you. Welcome to refer to it!

First, Su Causeway Chunxiao

Su Causeway starts at the foot of Nanping Mountain in the south and ends at the foot of Qixia Mountain in the north, with a total length of nearly three kilometers. When Su Dongpo, a great writer and calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty, was appointed as the magistrate of Hangzhou, he dredged the West Lake and built it with the dredged mud. Later generations named Su Dongpo Su Causeway to commemorate his achievements in managing the West Lake. The waves lying on the long embankment connect the southern and northern mountains, adding a charming landscape to the West Lake. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Su Causeway Chunxiao was listed as the first of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake, and in the Yuan Dynasty, it was also called "Six Bridges and Willow" and was listed as the ten scenic spots in Qiantang, which shows that it has been deeply loved by people since ancient times.

Second, the wind and lotus in Quyuan

The wind and lotus in Quyuan, with the theme of watching lotus in summer, is the second of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake, thanks to the spring dawn in Su Causeway. Quyuan was originally a brewing workshop opened by the Southern Song Dynasty imperial court. It is located near Hongchunqiao, Lingyin Road, near the shore of the West Lake at that time. Lotus flowers were cultivated on the shore of the lake. In summer, when it is breezy in Xu Lai, the fragrance of lotus and wine is flowing everywhere, making people drunk without drinking. Wang Yan, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote a poem praising: "Summer-seekers return to the cold spring, and it is cool in the evening at the pier. Aiqu Fragrant Array follows people far away, and only after crossing Gao Qiao can we buy a boat. " The Houqu Garden gradually declined and abandoned. After Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty titled the Ten Scenes of the West Lake, he built a Quyuan Fenghe Scenery Monument Pavilion across Hongqiao in Su Causeway. What remains is just a small lotus flower on the lake in front of a small courtyard.

Third, the broken bridge and the broken snow

is a famous scenery on the West Lake, which is famous for its looming bridge deck in winter snow. It belongs to one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake.

The Broken Bridge is located at the eastern end of the Bai Causeway of the West Lake in Hangzhou, with its back to Baoshi Mountain and facing Hangzhou City. It is the water dividing point between Waihu Lake and Beili Lake. The broken bridge has a high potential and a wide field of vision, which is the best place to watch the snow scene of the West Lake in winter. When the snow begins to fall, I stand on the Gemstone Mountain and look south. The West Lake is covered with silver and Bai Causeway is covered with snow and frost. The arch surface of the broken bridge was uncovered, and the snow and ice melted in the sun, revealing mottled bridge railings, while the two ends of the bridge were still covered with snow. The stone bridge that can be vaguely argued seems to be hidden, while the white snow in the culvert shines brightly, and the gray-brown bridge deck forms a contrast, which looks like a broken bridge from a distance, so it is called a broken bridge. The earliest record of "Broken Bridges and Broken Snow" is Zhang Hu of the Tang Dynasty. His "On the Gushan Temple in Hangzhou" says: The tower is towering over the green hills, and it goes all the way into the middle of the lake. No rain, the mountains are long and moist, and no clouds and water are overcast. The broken bridge is barren and the flowers in the empty courtyard are deep. I still remember the west window moon, and the bell is ringing in Beilin.

Fourth, Pinghu Autumn Moon

Pinghu Autumn Moon Scenic Area is located at the western end of Bai Causeway, at the southern foot of Gushan Mountain, bordering the West Lake. In fact, as one of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake, there was no fixed scenic spot for the autumn moon in Pinghu in the Southern Song Dynasty. This is not difficult to see from the perspective of the poems of scholars in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties that praised this scene at that time, such as "The moon is cold and cold, and the spring is stagnant, so where is the eulogy for boating"; Ming Hongzhan Zu wrote in his poem: "Autumn Ge people climb the waves and wrinkle, and the fairy mountains and castles are dusty in the mirror. "In the woodcut prints of the Ten Scenes of the West Lake in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the picture of Autumn Moon in Pinghu is still dominated by tourists looking up at the moon in the lake boat.

Fifth, the willow waves smell warblers

Today, after nearly forty years of continuous development and construction, the willow waves smell warblers, which were enjoyed by emperors in those days, have evolved into a big paradise for ordinary people. She still takes the green willow color and graceful warbler singing as the keynote of the park landscape, and plants weeping willows, lion willows, drunken willows, sand willows and other characteristic willows along the embankment of the lake and the main road of the garden road. In the main scenic spot in the middle of the park, the Wenying Pavilion was opened, and the giant net cage "Bird Paradise" was disposed not far from the Wenying Pavilion, creating an atmosphere of fireworks in March, willows dancing and beautiful warblers. To the east of Wenying Pavilion, a friendship garden scenic spot is mainly composed of lawns and dense forests, and a number of Japanese cherry blossoms have been introduced. On the north side of the lawn, a stone platform is paved, and a monument of "No War between Japan and China" stands. On the west side of the Wenying Pavilion, a large lawn was built by filling up the marshes when Liuyang Wenying was rebuilt. The grass color is far away from the Bibo Castle Peak of the West Lake, and the north side of the big lawn is the monument of the Kangxi Imperial Theme Liuyang Wenying, which was relocated here. A tall arbor forest is planted on the south side, which forms a vivid picture rich in layers and angles with lawns, willow banks and lakes and mountains.

Six, Twin Peaks in the Clouds

Although the places and ways of viewing the Twin Peaks in the Clouds have changed repeatedly since ancient times, the famous peaks on the south and north sides of the Yaoshan Mountain in the West Lake are extremely rich and successful, but they have not changed so far. The south peak is close to the West Lake, with a peak height of 257 meters. On the way to climb the mountain, the steep rocks are exposed and the cliffs are towering. Climbing to the top of the mountain and overlooking the east, the panoramic view of the West Lake is vivid, not drawing, but drawing. North peak, at an altitude of 314, sits on the mountain of Lingyin Temple. From the west side of the temple, it rises to thousands of steps, and turns around 36 bends. Along the way, the mountains and streams are clear and the trees overlap. The ancients have a poem praising:' All the way, the pine sounds are long and rainy, and the blue air in the air assembles clouds'. On the Shandong side, there is a manned cableway of West Lake Bayi, with a total length of more than 61%. It takes only six or seven minutes to go up and down the mountain.

seven, three pools reflecting the moon

Three pools reflecting the moon island, also known as Xiaoyingzhou, together with Huxin Pavilion and Ruan Gongdun, are called the three islands on the lake. The whole island covers an area of about seven hectares, including the water surface. There are curved bridges connecting the north and the south, and the bridges connecting the east and the west with earth dikes cross in a cross shape, which divides the water surface of the island into four, and the periphery of the water surface is an annular dike. Seen from the air, the land on the island is shaped like a giant "field", showing that there is an island in the lake, and there is a lake in the island, and the water features are unique among the ten scenic spots of the West Lake, which is a classic of water gardens in the south of the Yangtze River in China. In the thirty-fourth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1616), Qiantang County ordered Nie Xintang to take the mud from the lake and build a dam around the island, which initially became a lake in the lake as a place for release. Later generations built three small bottle-shaped stone pagodas in the south lake of the island, which were called "Santan". In the early Qing Dynasty, a curved bridge and a hall were built on the island, and hibiscus was planted around the inner lake. After Peng Yulin, a retired general in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, built a villa here, and Xiaoyingzhou began to take shape.

Eight, Huagang Fish Watching Park

Huagang Fish Watching Park is located in the west of the southern section of Su Causeway, on a peninsula between Xili Lake and Xiaonanhu. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the chamberlain Yun Sheng once built a private garden in build house, under Huajiashan, which is not far from here. Flowers and trees in the garden were sparse, water was diverted into the pool, and five-colored fish were kept for enjoyment, which gradually became a place frequented by tourists. It was said that Luyuan was named Huagang because it was close to Huajiashan. The court painter included it in the ten scenes of the West Lake when he created it. In the thirty-eighth year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (1699), Emperor Xuanye visited the West Lake, wrote a book to watch the fish scenery in Huagang as usual, and built a stone monument beside the fish pond. Later, when Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River to visit the West Lake, another poem was inscribed in the shadow of the monument. There was a saying in the poem: "There is a flower port at the foot of Huajiashan, and there are fish and flowers."

Nine, Leifeng Sunset

Leifeng, located in front of Jingci Temple, is the residual vein of Nanping Mountain extending northward, and the lake is in full swing with lush trees. Although its volume is small and exquisite, its reputation is one of the best on the lake, because there was the Leifeng Tower built by Wu Yueshi at the top of the mountain, which is the most beautiful and romantic tower among many ancient pagodas in the West Lake.

11. Nanping Night Bell

Nanping Night Bell may be the earliest of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhang Zeduan, a famous painter, once painted the Night Clock Map of Nanping.

expansion: introduction of Yangzhou Slender West Lake tourist attractions

Yangzhou Slender West Lake has a total length of 4.3 kilometers and a tourist area of more than 31 hectares, including Changdi, Xuyuan, Xiaojinshan, Chuitai, Yueguan, Wuting Bridge, Fuzhuang and Baita. The lake area is divided by bridges, islands, dikes and banks, which makes the long and narrow lake surface form a layered and tortuous landscape.

On both sides of the graceful and graceful Slender West Lake, Yangzhou Classical Garden Group, which melts the south and shows the north in one furnace, forms a long axis of mountains and rivers that change scenery and borrow from each other; The ancient temple of the famous temple and the wall of the ancient city stretch and belong to each other, and scenic spots and historical relics are scattered among them. The unique natural scenery and rich humanistic landscape set each other off, and it is a bright pearl embedded in a famous historical and cultural city.

Royal Wharf

In the 18th year of Qianlong's reign (1753), when Emperor Gao of Qing Dynasty was on a southern tour, he built a palace in the west garden of Tianning Temple, in front of which there were 1 heads, which was the place where Qianlong boarded a boat and swam around the lake, so it was called "Royal Wharf", and Cao Xueqin's grandfather had been here for four times. Cao Yin was also ordered to publish and engrave The Whole Tang Poetry in Xiyuan. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the bluestone platform and ramp of the wharf basically kept their original appearance, and a pavilion of "Royal Wharf" was added, which is now the starting point of "Ganlong Water Tour Line". It was during the Qianlong period that the Royal Pier was built so spectacularly. I wonder if Lord Cao had a granddaughter who left Yangzhou for Beijing by boat from this pier?

Yechun Garden

is located in Fenglexia Street, west of Royal Wharf. It is the location of the scene of "Fengshi Floor" between Qingganlong. There are two groups of grass pavilions with cornices and horns, the East Pavilion painted with water, and the west end of the pavilion is built with Zhulan Qulang and Xixiang Xiangying Gallery. There are flowers and trees on the high mound of the garden path. Attractions include: Dining English Villa, asking for the moon Mountain House, Yinhui Pavilion, Yuxiang Flower House, etc. Today, the "Ganlong Water Tour Line" Huafang Wharf is set here. Wang Yuyang, a poet of the Qing Dynasty, once wrote poems in this association.

Yechun Garden Teahouse, located in Yechun Garden, is an open garden built on the former site of Yechun Garden, one of the eight famous gardens in Yangzhou in Qing Dynasty, which is invested by the National Tourism Administration. It integrates dining, sightseeing and entertainment, and is a key construction project and external window of Yangzhou Municipal Government. At present, all kinds of large, medium and small restaurants here can accommodate 811 people at the same time. Traditional dim sum and Yechun steamed dumplings have enjoyed a long reputation since the Qing Dynasty, supplemented by various kinds of Yangpai refreshments, making it the first choice for Yangzhou people to "wrap their bags in water" in the morning (the traditional dietary culture habit of drinking morning tea and eating breakfast). The night market food and leisure square in the garden provides hundreds of local snacks every day, with distinctive Yechun tea and authentic Huaiyang cuisine. It has become a tourist attraction for Chinese and foreign guests to appreciate Yangzhou's local culture and folk customs.

The misty rain of the Fourth Bridge

is located on the east bank of Slender West Lake, facing Xiaojin Mountain across the lake. It was built during the reign of Emperor Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, and was named "Fun Garden" when Qianlong made a southern tour. The landscape has been abandoned for a long time In the autumn of 1961, Siqiao Yanyu Building was built in the former site. The building is two stories high, facing three trees in the west and surrounded by corridors. When you climb the building, you can see from afar, and the bridges are of different shapes. Looking south, there are Chunbo Bridge and Dahongqiao; looking north, there are Changchun Bridge; looking west, there are Yupan Bridge and lianhua bridge. What is valuable is that all the bridges are close at hand, but the bridges have different shapes and styles. If you climb the building in the drizzle and overlook it, all the bridges are in the same place in the rain and fog. If you cover the lake with a veil, the scenery separated by the lake will be connected with each other, and the scenic spots in the whole lake will be naturally divided into different sections with different strengths and styles with different landing points and frameworks, forming a landscape garden picture with different charm. No wonder every time Ganlong visits the lake, he has to climb the misty rain building of the fourth bridge and look out of the window.

Hongqiao

The name of the bridge comes from the red column, and later it means that the bridge is like a rainbow. In ancient times, there were four seasons of Xiuze Festival, which was a tour festival with feudal superstition. The spring falls on the third day of March in the Gregorian calendar, and the spring is warm in bloom, and the feudal color has faded, making it a festival for groups to enjoy the scenery in spring. Following Wang Xizhi, the king of Jin Dynasty, who invited friends to draw water to flow, and the guests sang poems, this festival was deeply favored by scholars and became a grand festival for poets to get together. During the Qianlong period, Lu Yayu, an envoy of salt transportation in the Huaihe River and Huaihe River, imitated his predecessors, and his poems were widely reconciled. There were thousands of literati and commoners who made harmony according to rhyme. Zheng Banqiao, Ji Xiaolan and Yuan Mei are among them. When Qianlong traveled here, he once talked with beggars about poetry and passed it on as a beautiful talk. Climbing Hongqiao can also overlook the beautiful lake, attract tourists and step into the scenic spot. In 1972, the Yangzhou municipal government rebuilt the bridge, making it a 3-hole low-slope Qingshi Bridge with a width of 7.6 meters.

spring willows on the long embankment

When crossing Hongqiao, the Slender West Lake suddenly opens, and willows are planted all over the west embankment. In ancient times, there was a saying that Yangzhou was suitable for Yang. Legend has it that the name of Yangliu began in Yangzhou because Emperor Yangdi opened a canal and planted willows on the riverbank, while Emperor Yangdi gave weeping willows a surname of Yang. The willow silk on the long embankment blows the water, and there are thousands of tender feelings. The so-called "sentimental is the Yangzhou willow". There is a pavilion near the water in the dike, hidden in the Liu Yin. The willows are dotted with red and white peach blossoms. Peach red and willow green, reflected in the water, like heaven.

Xu Garden

There is a garden in the garden, which is the characteristic of Slender West Lake. Xu Garden was built in the former site of "Taohuawu", located at the northern end of Chunliu, the long embankment of Slender West Lake, and the former site of Taohuawu, Hanyuan in the early Qing Dynasty. In memory of Xu Baoshan, the commander who participated in the Revolution of 1911 and was later killed by Yuan Shikai, the garden was rebuilt. There is a lotus pond stacked with yellow stones in the garden, with meandering water outside and a pond inside, and the pond water is connected with the lake water. Crossing the pond is the pavilion, which is called Listening to the Orioles Pavilion, taking Du Fu's meaning that "two orioles sing green willows and a row of egrets go up to the sky". The whole courtyard is neat and changeable. Bypassing Xu Yuan, standing on Xiaohongqiao, Xiaojinshan stands tall, and the lake suddenly opens. Xu Garden is small, covering an area of 1.6 hectares. But the structure is decent, and the courtyard is connected and scattered. There are listening oriole pavilion, spring grass pond singing pavilion, shufeng pavilion and other scenery. There are two iron woks on display in front of the Listening Hall. According to legend, they are water objects in Xiaoliang Town in the Southern Dynasties, and there is an inscription "Iron wok", which is said to be a relic of the Southern Liang Dynasty, more than 1,411 years ago.

As the screen of the Slender West Lake, Xu Garden has opened the scenic spot from prologue to upsurge, and its gardening techniques are superb.

Xiaojinshan

Xiaojinshan, also known as Changchun Ridge, is located at the apex of the L-shaped long and narrow river of Slender West Lake, which is the best place to overlook the scenery. The mud from the past dynasties after digging the lake piled up into a ridge, climbing to the top, and the whole lake has a panoramic view. Scholars took a fancy to this place, and the number of buildings and stones increased. By the Qing Dynasty, it became the most attractive place of Slender West Lake. It is known as "Penglai on the Lake". Close friends skillfully take the "thinness" of the west and the "smallness" of Xiaojin Mountain, pointing out that the beauty of Yangzhou gardens lies in the clever "borrowing": borrowing a corner of the West Lake can boast its thinness; I moved to Jinshan for a little while, so I don't care about it. The wind pavilion on the ridge, together with the piano room and moon view under the ridge, the nearby blowing platform, the distant view is close, and the close-up view is set off, which makes the whole Slender West Lake scenic spot more charming than the original scenery used for "borrowing". At that time, in order to enable Emperor Qianlong to reach Pingshantang by boat, he excavated the Lotus Ridge New River, and dug out the small Jinshan formed by the accumulation of soil. At that time, plum blossoms were planted all over the mountain, and the fragrance was overflowing, so it was called "Meiling is deep in spring". Xianfeng years, destroyed by fire. It was rebuilt during Guangxu period.

Xiaojin Mountain is the largest island in the Slender West Lake.

Fu Zhuang

is located on the east side of Wuting Bridge, which was built in 1921 and was originally the villa of squire Chen Chenshuo. It is named because it is like a wild duck floating on Tingyu Island. The biggest feature of the landscape of the villa is that it is as small as possible and exquisite. There are waterside pavilions in the east, several waterside pavilions in the west, and three water towers in the south. The irregular lotus pond is located in the middle of the village, surrounded by plum, peach and bamboo, and stacked with high lakes and stones, which is quite profound. Fu Zhuang seems to be floating, the pavilions, pavilions, corridors and pavilions are small and unique, and the wood and stones in the mountain pool are properly decorated, just as the song "Looking at the Hundred Tunes in the South of the Yangtze River" says: "The pavilions and pavilions are high and low, and the willows are mixed with water waves, and this place is the fairy world.

Wuting Bridge

Wuting Bridge, formerly known as lianhua bridge, is one of the symbols of Slender West Lake, because it is shaped like a blooming lotus, also known as lianhua bridge.

When Qianlong visited the south, he lamented that it was like the scenery of the spring sun in Qiongdao, Beihai, which pointed out that the bridge was based on the scenery of Beijing Beihai. The bridge is deeply influenced by the Wulong Pavilion in Beihai. Because there is no wide water in the North Sea, craftsmen have found a new way to combine pavilions and bridges to form pavilions and bridges, which are divided into five pavilions and gathered in groups.
