This paper will compare and analyze the differences between West Lake and Xuanwu Lake from several points.
1, on fame
Now Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing is far less famous than West Lake in Hangzhou. Although Xuanwu Lake is an ancient royal garden, it is too conservative and official, while the West Lake is full of folklore and stories. The mountains around the West Lake are undulating, and the mirrors on the lake reflect heavy light at sunset. In the early morning, the sun and the waves blend, and tourists are intoxicated. The crowd is boiling, the more you talk, the better.
The story of the white snake spread all over the earth, fearing that people would forget to build a tower, "Leifeng Tower". "Lingyin bell, afraid of deafness, timid around strangers, three altars to do ring. Afraid of impassability, Su Causeway is the only way for men and women to love each other! Tell the truth: "West Lake is better than others"!
Xuanwu Lake is surrounded by forbidden areas surrounded by city walls. Since ancient times, people have rarely had the opportunity to get to know each other, so they can only watch silently for the emperor alone. Nature is not so famous, and its influence is limited.
2. Play experience and route
Hangzhou West Lake, a 5a-level scenic spot in China and a famous scenic spot in China, is free of charge. The whole West Lake Scenic Area consists of "one mountain and one solitary mountain", two towers (Leifeng Tower and Baoshu Tower), three islands, three dikes and five lakes. It is not easy for the West Lake to be so beautiful. If you want to visit the West Lake, you can try the route: start from Broken Bridge Scenic Area, walk slowly to the north and south of Henghe Yang Di, then rent a boat to visit Santan Yin Yue, and finally reach the famous Leifeng Tower, which is almost 60 kilometers. Enjoy the scenic spots while playing and feel the beauty of the West Lake.
Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, is located in Nanjing. The lake is directly surrounded by city walls. Formerly known as Sambo, it has an ancient charm. It has been 1500 years now. Due to crustal movement and magma intrusion, it has experienced hundreds of years of wind and rain and gradually evolved into a lake.
Among them, Lake Park has become the largest city park in the south of the Yangtze River and the largest garden lake in China. If you run in Xuanwu Lake, it takes almost an hour. It can be seen that this basalt is quite large.
The biggest difference between West Lake in Hangzhou and Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing lies in culture. Nanjing's cultural heritage is thicker than that of Hangzhou. After all, it is an ancient capital of ten dynasties and a metropolis of two dynasties. But as far as the lake itself is concerned, the cultural heritage of the West Lake is greater than that of Xuanwu Lake. As far as the name is concerned, Xuanwu sounds like the imperial city, but the West Lake is not tacky. Su Dongpo's sentence "I want to compare the West Lake to the West" makes the name of Hangzhou West Lake more meaningful. So where the fun lies depends on how you understand the cultural heritage.
3. Historical and cultural details
Objectively speaking, the West Lake now has more tourist atmosphere and ornamental value than Xuanwu Lake. Although Xuanwu Lake was a royal amusement place as early as the Six Dynasties in history, it also formed the top ten Xuanwu Lake scenery in the Six Dynasties.
Hangzhou West Lake began in the Southern Song Dynasty, so that it became the royal back garden. It was also in the Southern Song Dynasty that the ten scenic spots of the West Lake, which are world-famous today, appeared. In terms of time, the development of West Lake is obviously later than Xuanwu Lake.
But as far as today's tourism value is concerned, Xuanwu Lake and West Lake are not at the same level. Xuanwu Lake, now the Pearl of Jinling, is a national 4A-level scenic spot, while Hangzhou West Lake is not only a national 5A-level scenic spot, but also a member of the World Heritage List.
In addition, both lakes are rich in human resources, but in contrast, Xuanwu Lake is always heavier, while West Lake is more relaxed and comfortable, which means it is more suitable for travel.
4. Attraction traffic
West Lake is better.
The scenery of the West Lake is different in four seasons, which can be described as beautiful in all seasons. February is foggy, and the West Lake is like a misty and rainy fairyland. From June to July, the West Lake is full of flowers, and Qu Yuan's scenery is just right; September-10 autumn is crisp, the moon is in the sky, and boating on the lake is uncomfortable; From 65438+February to 65438+1October, the West Lake wrapped in snow has its own charm. You can take bus No.27, No.42, No.308, No.504, No.5 and Holiday No.5 to reach the famous scenic spots of West Lake such as Su Causeway, Quyuan, Broken Bridge and Snow Scene. When the weather is fine, you might as well rent a bicycle to ride around the West Lake and drive to see the beautiful scenery of the West Lake.
To sum up:
West Lake is more interesting than Xuanwu Lake. Of course, this may be the idea of most people, but Xuanwu Lake is also a very good choice if you like quiet and few people, especially riding around the lake is more comfortable.
