Now our car is driving on Hubin Avenue, which is a combination of tourism, flood control and transportation. It was built after the flood in 1991, with a total length of 53 meters. What you can see on your left is our Chaohu Lake, with a water surface of 8 square kilometers, surrounded by three counties and one district, and Lujiang County, Feidong County, Feixi County and Juchao. Chaohu Lake, Dongting Lake, Hongze Lake, Poyang Lake and Taihu Lake are also called the five major freshwater lakes, and Chaohu Lake is the smallest of these five freshwater lakes. Chaohu Lake, also known as Jiaohu Lake. According to legend, in ancient times, Chaohu Lake was a state. One year when he was sweating, Xiao Bailong made a mistake by raining without permission, and was demoted to earth by the Emperor of Heaven. He was rescued by Jiao Lao, and Xiao Bailong reported that the Emperor of Heaven was going to be trapped in the nest state. Jiao Lao promptly told the neighbors that it was difficult for them to die. However, Jiao Lao delayed his chance of escape when he knew all the neighbors, and his daughter was flooded. Later, in order to commemorate Jiao Lao's spirit, people called the trapped lake "Jiao Hu", while Jiao Lao turned into an old mountain, her daughter into an isolated mountain, and her shoes into a shoe mountain. Of course, this is just a myth and legend about Chaohu Lake, and the real Chaohu Lake is of course formed as a result of crustal movement.
Fang is located at Xibakou of Chaohu Lake, which is the entrance of Hubin Avenue. It was built in mid-summer of 1994. It is an antique brand-style square with an ancient cultural landscape, which stands on the lakeside and is magnificent, symbolizing the east gate of Chaohu Lake. There are four couplets on both sides of the stone workshop, written by Fang Keyi himself. Among them, there are "five lakes, and the water shows thousands of miles; Famous in the four seas, outstanding in the spring of ten thousand years, inscribed by calligraphers such as Liu Zishan and Wang Gongshou respectively. Passing through the ancient square, you come to Hubin Avenue, which starts from Chaohu City in the east and reaches Zhongmiao Town in the west, with a total length of 53 kilometers. It is a combination of tourism, flood control, transportation and high-tech agricultural development. It was built after the flood in 1991 with a total investment of 2 million yuan. Binhu Avenue is a three-grade asphalt pavement, with pavilions and waterside pavilions along the way and lush flowers and herbs, which is naturally interesting. Xibakou section in the urban area has become the best place for morning exercise, holiday outing, weekend fishing and summer night cooling, which is similar to the Bund in Shanghai. Binhu Avenue is also the frontier to watch the scenery and experience the people's feelings of Chaohu Lake. The lakes, mountains, scenery and customs often shine and blend together. The planned Hubin Avenue will be built with leisure resorts, lakeside baths and water amusement parks, which will eventually become the first promenade in central Anhui with food, housing, transportation, sightseeing, shopping and entertainment.
Now, if you look to the left, it's our Chaohu Lake. The surface of Chaohu Lake is 8 square kilometers, which is the largest lake in the province and listed as one of the five largest freshwater lakes in China. Compared with Dongting Lake, Poyang Lake, Taihu Lake and Hongze Lake, Chaohu Lake is small in area, but it has its own characteristics. Chaohu Lake has 23 towns and villages along the lake, with a coastline of 18 kilometers, the longest water surface of 55 kilometers from east to west and a width of 15 kilometers from north to south. When the water level is 12 meters, the area is 8 square kilometers and the volume is 4.8 billion cubic meters. Chaohu Lake is named after it looks like a bird's nest from afar. Here is another story (abbreviated story). Chaohu Lake has a developed water system, which has been called "36 branches" since ancient times. The existing rivers entering the lake are mainly distributed in the west and southwest of the lake area. For example, the Nanfeihe River, which originated from Dabie Mountain in western Anhui, flows through the Pai River of Upper School, Middle School and Lower School, the Fengle River, which flows through the Three Rivers, and the Baishan River, which is connected with Jinniu River. It is said that the Mawei River dug by Cao Cao originated from the Zhegao River at the eastern foot of Chacha Mountain. Yuxi River, also known as Yuncao River, was called Ruxu River in ancient times. It starts from the east lake mouth of Chaohu Lake in the west and flows to yuxikou in the southeast, with a total length of 75 kilometers. It communicates with the Yangtze River and is the only Tongjiang river system in Chaohu Lake. Chaohu Lake basin covers a total area of 32,345 square kilometers. Because of its abundant water resources and suitable climate, it is known as the land of fish and rice in central Anhui. On the right, you can see the Guishan Mountain. Climbing the mountain and overlooking the lake, you can see that the vast blue waves suddenly shrink and rush to the east, and the lake is pouring from the west. This mountain resembles the name of the giant turtle, and is the first of the three turtles in Chaohu Lake. The other two turtles are South Turtle Mountain and East Turtle Mountain respectively. South Turtle Mountain is located in Taoxizui, on the south bank of Chaohu Lake, far away from this turtle mountain, and East Turtle Mountain, that is, ruxu Mountain, is located at Diaoyutai in the east of the lake. Opposite Guishan is a stone turtle, which is unlike four, because it is the dragon head, chicken feet, turtle body, and this turtle is the turtle in the town of Chaohu Lake. It is said that a long time ago, there was a monster in the lake, which made the surrounding people restless all the year round, and the crops were planted, and the particles were not harvested. Later, people heard that the monster was most afraid of dragons, phoenixes and turtles. Chaohu Lake, also known as Jiaohu Lake, has a touching story about its formation in our Chaohu Lake. It is said that a long time ago, there was a nest state city in East China ... (The story is omitted).
the middle temple-Laoshan scenic spot is ahead. The famous Zhongmiao Temple is located in Zhongmiao Town, Juchao District, Chaohu City, 48km away from the urban area, between Juchao Prefecture and Luzhou in guin, hence the name "Zhongmiao Temple" and known as "the first scenic spot in the lake and sky". Due to the strong incense in the past dynasties, it is known as "Jiuhua in the South and Temple in the North". The middle temple was first built in the Han Dynasty, and it was repeatedly abandoned and repaired in previous dynasties. The temple rebuilt in the year after the Tang Long era, "the honeymooned tiles are filled with air, and the rainbow beams are shaped, which is wonderful and beautiful.". In the second year of Nan Tang Bao's sophomore year, there were 24 rooms in 6 rows. The statue of Tai Mu, with "pink face and green eyebrows", stood in the treasure room and was listed in the incense altar. In the Yuan Dynasty, the temple base circle was arched into a bridge, which was called "the back hole" and a temple was built on the hole. In the Qing Dynasty, there were "Jiege, a worship hall, a pavilion and a column pavilion". In the fifteenth year of Guangxu, Li Hongzhang advocated the renovation, which was divided into three halls, namely, the front hall, the middle hall and the back hall, with more than 7 rooms, and the back hall had three floors of sutra depository, with eight windows, cornices at four corners and bells tied at corners. It was renovated in the tenth year of the Republic of China, and at the end of the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China, the back hall was destroyed by fire, leaving only the front hall, the middle hall and the wing. Since 1986, the temple has been renovated many times, and it has taken on a larger scale, and the murals on the inner wall beams of the temple have also changed their colors. The zhongmiao temple is located on the megalithic rock extending 1 meters from the north bank of Chaohu Lake. Rocky rocks are vermilion-colored and burst into the lake, shaped like flying phoenix, commonly known as Phoenix Terrace. The ancient temple faces south, facing the shore of the lake, reflecting waves in the sky and high-pressure clouds in the temple. There is an inscription "Chaohu Middle Temple" on the temple gate. The whole temple pavilion flies out of the double eaves, like the crown of the phoenix, and shines brightly under the irradiation of the sunset glow. The middle temple is now dedicated to Guan Yu, Guanyin and the gods. It is said that there are also Jade Maiden in Mount Tai and Jiao Lao in Chaohu Lake. ..... Located in the center of Chaohu Lake, 4 kilometers away from Zhongmiao Town, and from the Laoshan Mountain in Chaohu Lake and Hefei, it is said that when Jiao Lao was trapped in Chaozhou, he gave his life to help the world and became this mountain, hence the name. Laoshan is actually an island in the middle of the lake formed by volcanic eruption more than 1 million years ago, with an altitude of 15 meters and an area of .86 square kilometers. The mountain is oval. From a distance, there are three mountains, and from a distance, there is Jiu Feng. According to Nantang Tongzhi, "Laoshan, also known as Nantang." There is a Wenfeng Pagoda on the Laoshan Mountain, which stands on Bijia Mountain at the top of the Laoshan Mountain. Magnificent and magnificent, it is the best place to watch the scenery of Chaohu Lake. Legend has it that Jiao Lao's climbing the tower can better visit Gushan, so he is also famous for his tower. This tower was built in the fourth year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty. Yan Ergui, the magistrate of Luzhou, advocated the construction and built four floors. It was suspended due to the peasant uprising. In the fourth year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang advocated donation and entrusted Wu Fen, the alternate road in Jiangsu Province, with the completion of the third floor. Tower ***7 floors, 133 levels, 51 meters high, tied with azurite brick structure, octagonal, with eaves, iron bells hanging from each eaves, with 82 brick-carved Buddha statues and 25 inscriptions. Because the tower was built to show the victory of local humanities, it was named Wenfeng Tower. There is a folk saying: "The pagoda in Laoshan Mountain is sharp, and the number one scholar is in Luzhou House." It is a county-level key cultural relics protection unit. The tower body consists of three parts: the outer wall, the gallery and the tower heart, which is extremely ingenious. The tower gate is engraved with the word "ladder".
The three treasures in Chaohu Lake are whitebait, white rice shrimp and crab. The outflow basins of Chaohu Lake are mainly Yuxi River and Niutun River, which flow to the Yangtze River through them. Laoshan Island covers an area of .86 square kilometers and is 15 meters above sea level. The tower we see now is Wenfeng Tower. At that time, it was said here that "the tip of the Laoshan Mountain is sharp, and Luzhou is the champion". In order to verify this rumor, Yan Ergui, the magistrate of Luzhou, built a four-story tower in the fourth year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty (1631). Later, he dropped out of work because of the peasant uprising. In the fourth year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1878), Li Hongzhang, Minister of Westernization, advocated donation and built a three-story tower, which was * * * seven-story, eight-angled, 51-meter-high and 133-level.
