Yangzhou Slender West Lake Park
Slender West Lake was originally named Baohe and Paoshanhe, also known as Changchun Lake. The name of Slender West Lake began in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, probably from a poem by the poet Wang Ling in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty: "Weeds are picked up by weeping willows, and the picture of a red bridge with wild teeth." It is also a pot selling gold, so it should be called Slender West Lake. Located in the northwest of Yangzhou City, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were gardens along Slender West Lake. In the Qing Dynasty, due to the six "southern tours" of Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong, the grand occasion of "two embankments of flowers and willows all depend on the water and all the way up the mountain" was formed, which became a symbol of Yangzhou's elegance. Slender and long, with a water surface of about 4km and a width of less than1000 mm, Slender West Lake is not as wide as Hangzhou West Lake, but it is also a place where dignitaries spend money like water. Therefore, the tomb called it a "golden pot", while Zheng Banqiao criticized it as "confusing". The beauty of Slender West Lake mainly lies in its twists and turns. Compared with Xizi Lake in Hangzhou, it is like a plump and beautiful young woman and a slim and beautiful my fair lady.
