Slender West Lake is located in the northwest suburb of Yangzhou and is a famous scenic spot. It used to be a natural river course, which was gradually developed after dredging and building gardens in previous dynasties.
beauty lies in twists and turns, simple and colorful. The beauty of Slender West Lake mainly lies in its twists and turns, the lake is wide and narrow at times, the trees on both sides are sparse, and the garden buildings are simple and colorful.
during the voyage, the scenery is constantly changing and fascinating. Slender West Lake has a total length of 4.3 kilometers and a tourist area of more than 3 hectares. There are many scenic spots such as Long Beach, Xuyuan, Xiaojinshan, Blowing Platform, Yueguan, Wuting Bridge, Fuzhuang and Baita.
The long dike is on the west bank of the lake, from the park gate to Xiaojinshan, with a length of several hundred meters. There is a willow and a peach beside the embankment, which are suitable for each other. It is a good place to enjoy spring. "Spring Willow on Long Embankment" is one of the twenty-four scenic spots in Yangzhou. Walking along the long embankment to the end, you will see a round cave door with the word "Xu Yuan" written on it. This used to be the ancestral temple of warlord Xu Baoshan, but now it is a place for tourists to rest.
there is a pool of clear water in the door, where lotus flowers are planted all over, and rocks of various shapes are dotted around the pool. Several willow trees are dancing in the wind, and the scenery is pleasant. The main hall in the park is called "Listening to the Orchid Pavilion", with exquisite structure and quaint furnishings. There is a mahogany clapboard wall on the front, with a screen style. Each screen has five pieces of landscape porcelain paintings of the Qing Dynasty, covered with glass, and the technology is exquisite.
xiaojinshan is a small island in the lake, formerly known as changchunling, which was built in the middle of Qing dynasty. At that time, in order to get through the water passage from Slender West Lake to daming temple, Yangzhou dry gentry dug a new Lotus Ridge River in the northwest of Slender West Lake, and the mound dug by the river became a hill, which is today's Xiaojinshan.
Xiaojin Mountain is surrounded by water. The water turns with the mountain, and the mountain is alive with water. There is a "wind pavilion" on the top of the mountain, which is the highest point in the whole park.
There is a dike at the west foot of Xiaojin Mountain that opens into the lake. At the end of the dike is a pavilion named "Blowing Platform". According to legend, Emperor Qianlong fished here, so it was also called Diaoyutai. Diaoyutai faces the water on three sides, each with a round door and a hole.
Seen from the front right side of Diaoyutai, the round hole in the middle just receives the scene of "Wuting Bridge", and the round hole on the left just receives the scene of "White Pagoda", which looks like two separate pictures. Its skillful borrowing of scenery is admirable.
Yueguan is the hall of the building near the lake, surrounded by lattice fans, and behind the hall is the Guiyuan Garden.
when osmanthus fragrans is in full bloom in August, pushing the window to enjoy the moon, the fragrance is overflowing, and the eyes are closed in the sky and underwater for two months. This scene is very touching.
Wuting Bridge-the symbol of Yangzhou scenery. Wuting Bridge was built on the Slender West Lake, like a belt of the lake. There are five pavilions on the bridge, hence the name Wuting Bridge.
This distinctive and beautiful bridge has become a symbol of Yangzhou landscape. Wuting Bridge was designed and built by Yangzhou and Huaibei salt transporters in Qing Dynasty in order to welcome Ganlong's southern tour.
The shape of the bridge is elegant and beautiful, with yellow tiles and bamboo columns, white railings and painted algae wells in the pavilion, which is magnificent and has the characteristics of southern architecture.
under the bridge is a thick pier with northern architectural characteristics, which harmoniously combines the architectural art of the north and the south, and combines landscape design with bridge engineering.
There are 15 bridge opening in Wuting Bridge. On the night of the full moon in May, each cave holds a month, and 15 full moons hang upside down in the water, competing to reflect each other, and boating is interspersed among the caves, which is unique. Fu Zhuang, located in the east of Wuting Bridge, is an island that goes deep into the lake. There is a waterfront building on the island, which looks like a duck floating on the water from a distance.

Opening hours: 7: . He, the owner of the garden, was named Hejia Garden, or "He Garden" for short.
He Yuan, a Taoist platform in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty? Built on the former site of "Shuanghuaiyuan", there are two large Sophora japonica trees in the park, which are passed down as the relics of Shuanghuaiyuan, and there is still one today.
This garden consists of a back garden, a residential courtyard and a flaky mountain house.
The cloister divides the back garden into east and west parts, and connects the garden with a series of buildings and cloisters.
In the east, the hall is the center, forming a group of courtyards, among which the "boat hall" is the best: the hall looks like a boat, surrounded by pebbles and tiles, and the pattern is wavy, giving people the artistic conception of living in water.
The couplet on the colonnade of the hall says, "The moon is the host, Mei is the guest, and the flowers are the four-walled boat." It is a portrayal of the ship hall.
the rockery in the east of the hall is stacked along the wall, and the water runs around the mountain, and the forest is empty, and the faint fragrance floats. The rockery pavilion is like a wing, with its back against the pink wall and green water beside it. You can climb the stairs through the pavilion along the stone steps.
in the west, the space is wide, with a series of buildings as the main body, a pool in the middle and a pavilion on the pool, which is a place for enjoying the cool, taking a rest and showing off the red.
The Shui Xin Pavilion (some people call it a stage) in Heyuan Garden is built to skillfully use the echo of the water surface and the cloister around the garden and enhance the sound effect of its sound, so that the owner of the garden can watch operas and songs and dances. The Shui Xin Pavilion in He Yuan was used as the scene in the filming of A Dream of Red Mansions and other films.
"The buildings are surrounded by water, and a few piles of rockeries sigh nature." Cascading buildings is the biggest feature of Heyuan architectural art. The corridor is winding and extending continuously. The string of buildings is more than 4 meters long and goes around the park.
Poems and paintings by Su Dongpo, Tang Bohu, Zheng Banqiao and others are engraved on the panes and walls of the building, and ancient poems are embedded in the stone tablets on the walls of the cloister.
The "garden-viewing mirror" on the cloister provides a panoramic view of the whole garden, giving people the landscape impression of "a building outside a green hill", which fully embodies the beauty of the integration of architectural art and natural scenery.
next to Heyuan is the "flaky mountain house". According to the history, "the flaky mountain house is in Garden Lane, a double-Huai Garden, and Wu Jialong, a native of Guangdong Province, left his job. Today, Wu Huimo, a Cantonese, repaired it. The garden wins with the lake stone. "
(The Continuation of the Records of Jiangdu County in Qing Dynasty, Volume XII) According to Qian Yong's Lu Yuan Cong Hua in Qing Dynasty, it has been twenty years: "Between the two halls, there is a square pool."
There is a stone mountain in Taihu Lake, which is 5 or 6 feet high and very steep. It is said that it was written by monk Shi Tao. ". Shi Tao was an outstanding painter in the late Ming Dynasty. He once lived in Yangzhou and was buried in Shugang, Yangzhou after his death.
the flaky mountain house was restored in 1989, and the forehead of the "flaky mountain house" on the lintel was transferred with Shi Tao ink. The design of this garden, based on Shi Tao's paintings, follows the principle of nature and shows the interest of nature, which shows that in Shi Tao's poems, "the water on all sides is boundless, and there is no fish in it." Don't say that the world in the pool is small, and the volume is comfortable and the table is empty. The "artificial moon" in the fake hills and valleys in the garden is a wonder, full of water and interest.

Two-day tour of Yangzhou Watertown
On the first day
I took a bus from Shanghai and arrived in Gaoyou at noon. After lunch, take the bus in the city to visit Wenyou Gutai and Gaoyou's ancient post station, Yu Chengyi, and board the northwest levee of the city to enjoy the vast scenery of gaoyou lake. Then take the No.7 bus to the end and go straight to the East Lake Resort in Mapeng Town.
Donghu Resort, with 4 hectares of land and water forests, ranks among the top eco-tourism products in Jiangsu Province with its original ecological scenery of "wild ducks flying, wild migratory birds, wild lotus flowers and wild vegetation". The Lapras-shaped ferry crossed the lake and stepped into the woodland. The summer heat suddenly decreased. The slender and tall Taxodium ascendens, the vigorous and graceful Populus davidiana and the graceful willows formed a lush dense forest, which had the artistic conception of a primitive swamp forest. Deep in the forest are log cabins and country club guest houses covered with green vines, where the holidays are full of fun on weekends.
The most famous tourist project in East Lake is the release of wild ducks. Hundreds of wild ducks will fly out of the Woods and reeds and play in the lake in front of them as long as they hear the unique shouts from Lu High School. Qirenlu High School is in the hut at the entrance. According to him, the wild ducks are molting these days, so it is not appropriate to summon them until after mid-August.
The next day
I went to Shuisi in Baoying, the hometown of lotus roots, to see the ten-mile lotus. When the lotus flowers first bloom, it is always in the morning, so it takes an hour to get to Baoying early in the morning. There are many roads to Shuisi in front of Baoying bus station, but to ask which way to take, you can only see the large lotus flowers that appear from time to time on the roadside by the road to Sheyang.
Shuisi Township has built a stone bridge, a wooden bridge, a waterwheel and a gazebo in a thousand acres of ornamental lotus garden. This year, the lotus pond in northern Jiangsu was flooded and suffocated, and its growth was obviously not as good as last year. The lotus was only chest high. Last year, one person was taller. Take a farm boat to ripple the clear lotus pond, and the cool wind is Xu Lai. The peasant woman who supported the boat rushed the boat into the lotus bushes and jumped into the water to pick lotus and lotus for us. In the big lotus with pink and white, the yellow stamen has grown into the embryonic form of the lotus. Standing on the swaying bow, we also hooked several big lotus leaves, peeled off the lotus seeds and put them in our mouths, and the fragrance was fresh and sweet. The boat passed by a floating leaf like a water lily, which was covered with small thorns. It turned out to be Gordon Euryale. When the leaves were slowly gathered, the chicken's head rice under the leaves gradually matured.
The most famous fresh fruit in Ouxiang is the fragrant lotus root. When the lotus blooms, it means that the roots are beginning to bear lotus roots. When the lotus flower is in full bloom and the fragrance is light, the lotus root is the sweetest and crisp, which is called floral lotus root. It is crystal clear and transparent, and it immediately falls into eight petals when it falls to the ground. Because it is difficult to transport and the output is small, the fragrant lotus root can only be tasted locally. When we went last week, it was not yet the season to smell the lotus root, so we had to swallow our saliva in vain. Today, Baoying Lotus Root Festival opens in Shuisi, and tourists may be blessed with a taste of the best lotus root.
On the way back to the county seat from Shuisi, I walked all the way along the densely shaded rivers on both sides of the river. Ducks lined up in the river, and a large lotus field came into view from time to time. When I stopped at the roadside rice fields, I caught crayfish running wild in the fields.
