Dear travelers, today I will take you to visit my hometown - Linzhang, Handan City, Hebei Province, known as Ye in ancient times. This is the hometown of the Three Kingdoms and the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. It is located in a plain and is rich in products. It is home to outstanding people and splendid culture. Historical celebrities include the Seven Sons of Jian'an, Guiguzi, Ximen Bao, etc. Their stories are still sung by people today. The first thing I would like to introduce to you is Tongquetai, located in Santai Village, Xiangcaiying Township, 18 kilometers southwest of the county. According to historical records, during the Three Kingdoms period, when Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and built the capital of Ye, there were three towers built at that time: the Jinfeng Tower in the front, the Tongque Tower in the middle, and the Bingjing Tower in the back. At its peak, the Tongque Tower was ten feet high, and five floors were built on the platform, which was 27 feet above the ground.
Then there is the ancient Han cypress, the number one cypress in the world. It is located 27 kilometers southwest of the county, at the east end of Jin Pengcheng Village, Nixinzhuang Township. The tree is 22.5 meters high, 5.6 meters wide at the chest, and has a crown coverage area of ??about 80 meters in diameter. Part of the hemispherical bony protrusion grows on the trunk of the tree, shaped like a clenched fist. Local villagers said: "If the roots of the tree are shoveled, a reddish liquid will secrete." The villagers call it "blood cypress." This tree was the post where Wei Wu tied his horse. It has a history of thousands of years.
The third stop is Qizi Lake. The lakeside is lined with weeping willows, flowers blooming in clusters, and the scenery is charming. It is a wonderful place for tourism and leisure. The lake is sparkling, with looming small fish swimming in the water. In the center of the lake is the Seven Towers, and several arch bridges stand quietly in the lake, making people relaxed and happy. Groups of people doing exercises pass by on the cobblestone paths from time to time.
Walking on the streets of the county town, a modern city unfolds before our eyes. There are many high-rise buildings on both sides, row upon row of shops, a constant flow of cars, and green belts beside the sidewalks, making it full of vitality all year round. Now in Linzhang, every village has a library, and various cultural and entertainment activities are held regularly. Urban modernization and rural urbanization have been achieved. These are the fruitful results of the party's three-year policy of major changes. If you wait until tomorrow morning, you will see people doing morning exercises gathered in Yeling Park, Jinfeng Park, Yedu Square... Some are doing Tai Chi, and some are doing Tai Chi. They are dancing, some are walking, some are practicing singing... Regardless of whether they are men, women, old or young, they are refreshed and having fun. This is already a beautiful scenery in the city.
Nowadays, the people of Linzhang are already walking on the road of happiness and civilization, and are moving towards a technologically-saving city.
Dear tourists, have you also fallen in love with this prosperous Linzhang and the kind and simple Linzhang people?
