How about the Three Bay Scenic Area of the Canal?
Yangzhou Canal Sanwan Scenic Area is known as "natural oxygen bar".
Living in the mountains, several leading ponds in the village, like oases in the desert, rarely give people hope. When I was old, I saw Xupu River, Yiyang River and Grand Canal. The winding river and the swift current enrich my imagination of the river. So is the Sanwan Canal.
In ancient Chinese, "three" is usually an imaginary number, which generally refers to a large number, but the "three" of the three bays of the canal should be an exact number, and it is the real three bays.
The water in the canal covers the Yellow River, Huaihe River and many other water bodies from north to south. When passing through the Erli River in the south of Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, the river channel is relatively narrow and the momentum is getting stronger and stronger. It's like an eagle swooping down and suddenly losing its grip, fast and rough. Passing ships were hit and plunged into chaos, either blocked or stranded.
To reduce the flow rate, the conventional practice is to build a dam to intercept it, which will slow down the river and "go their separate ways". Guo Guangfu, the magistrate of Yangzhou in the Ming Dynasty, didn't know whether it was instructions from his superiors or his brain was wide open. In the twenty-five years of Wanli, he led migrant workers to make the canal turn left and right from the south gate Erli Bridge, like a snake crawling, turning and turning, connecting the original rivers in Yaojiagou, forming a tortuous "three bays". After water injection, the still water is deep and the navigation is smooth.
After water control, water control is usually water diversion, and straight cutting is a common method. However, the clever Yangzhou people did the opposite and went straight into the bend, using the principle of "three bays reaching one dam" to block the water flow. The canal is "very swift and choppy", but the enthusiastic Yangzhou people insist on its winding and lingering, saying, "Hey, water, walk slowly, walk slowly".
The straight bend increases the length and curvature of the river. The original river channel of 100 meters was stretched to 1.7 kilometers like a rubber band, which looked like the symbol "",like an upside-down pot with a big belly, a narrow mouth and a wide side. The water level rose and the flow rate slowed down, and finally "saved the day". From then on, An Lan.
The water in the three bays eased, and many literati, wealthy businessmen and monks abandoned their boats and landed. The spring breeze is ten miles and the moon and the moon are clear. At the same time, there are lush vegetation in Sanwan and talented people in Yangzhou.
Where there is water, there is a bridge, and the bridge in Sanwan is quite distinctive. Not to mention the winding waterfront trestle, nor the harp bridge and Jinse bridge that echo from afar. Just two iconic bridges, one south and one north, are worth pondering. The Silhouette Bridge at the northern end is a huge flower paper-cut, which shows the flower painting art of Yangzhou intangible paper-cut with modern technology. It is red, soft, vivid and vivid. Ling Bo Bridge in the south means "Lingbo Micro-step". Snow-white bridge, beautiful arc, like lying wave of Changhong. The name of Yangzhou is cleverly expressed because "the state boundary is full of water, and the water makes waves", which is in line with Yangzhou's profound cultural heritage.
The ancients said, "Listen to the sound of rain and see the clouds grow along the mountain." In Sanwan, there are many wonderful places where people can enjoy rain, sky and clouds.
Riverside pavilion, floating roof, wavy, abandoning monotonous flat-top design, unique and novel. Among them, listening to the drizzle and watching the running water are very interesting.
In Sanwan, Yufengtai, Jiulonggang and Jinshan are all good places to look into the distance. Yufeng terrace is full of buttonwood trees. According to legend, Phoenix is the king of trees, and Phoenix is not a phoenix, so "Phoenix lives in Phoenix". I think the phoenix tree on the Yufeng stage not only symbolizes "planting the phoenix tree and attracting the phoenix", but also expresses the pride of changing the old appearance. The distance between Jiulonggang and Jiulongtan is close, which may be the wisdom hint of "Long Zaitian, the hidden dragon is in the deep". Fate was not invented out of thin air, which was proved by Li Dou's record in Qing Dynasty (Yangzhou Painting Boat Record), which was related to the story of Emperor Kangxi's southern tour to avoid the rain. Although Kowloon Hill is not lofty, it is lush. Be open-minded when climbing mountains. Overlooking the mountains, blending into the exquisite characteristics of Yangzhou gardens, using the art of "mining" and "floating", more than 7,000 tons of lake stones are piled into hills. Although it is only 12 meters high, the mountain looks quite steep. Climbing to the top of the mountain, gazing at the south of the Yangtze River, the distant mountains are close to the water, and the vision is wide, which can best understand the artistic conception of "the green hills are faint and the water is far away".
Between the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, the terrain is complex, the highest is like a hill, the flat is like a polder, and the lower is like Lixia. People who live in the mountains like me have always been full of yearning for rivers and lakes. Walking into Sanwan, it's like the northwest people coming to the southeast coast with warm climate. Rich river water is a luxury.
The canal is writing a new history every day. From then on, you don't have to think much, you can reach Sanwan by lifting your feet.
Address: Canal Sanwan Scenic Area is located in Xingyang Road, Hanjiang District, Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, adjacent to the ancient canal in the south of Yangzhou.
What interesting projects are there in the Three Bay Scenic Area of the Canal?
Silhouette Bridge: It is a landscape bridge across the ancient canal, with a total length of 168m, in which the main bridge is 120m long and 20m wide. It draws lessons from Yangzhou paper-cut art, an intangible cultural heritage, skillfully adopts modern materials and unconstrained techniques to express the feeling of paper-cut art through ethereal.
Ling Bo Bridge: The bridge structure is a sunken tied arch with a total length of 223m, in which the main bridge is148m long and16m wide. The design of the whole bridge is inspired by Yangzhou water.
Listening to the Rain Pavilion: The name is taken from "Young Mermaid Listening to the Rain" by Jie Jiang, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty: Young people listen to the rain upstairs and sing, and the red candle is faint. In the prime of life, the river is wide and the clouds are low when listening to the rain, and the broken geese are called the west wind. Now listen to the rain monk Lu, there are stars on his temples. Emotions and sorrows are always ruthless, and the next scene is about to dawn.
Bird-watching House: There is a core protected area in the scenic area, and tourists are forbidden to enter. There are abundant aquatic plants and quiet lakes here, and many birds live here. Torii is a viewing platform for tourists to enjoy the wetland scenery and rare birds.
Overlooking the mountain: it covers an area of about 4,000 square meters, the main peak is about 12 meters high, and more than 7,000 tons of lake stones are used. It fully integrates the characteristics of Yangzhou gardens, and uses the methods of "picking" and "floating" to set off the preciseness of the mountains.
Qinse Bridge: The steel bar at the top of the bridge is like a string, and in the middle of the string is a piano code called Yanzhu. From a distance, it stands like a large guzheng in the natural wetland landscape.
Leshui Garden is a group of miniature wetland landscapes and popular science education experience areas. Here, the water from the canal is introduced into the wetland for purification, which keeps the water clear and nourishes the wetland creatures. The purified water flows back to the canal, which once again plays a role in purifying the water quality of the canal.
