Guazhou Gudu Scenic Area is a national water conservancy scenic area, located at the intersection of the lower reaches of the ancient canal and the Yangtze River in Yangzhou City, and 15km away from the historical and cultural city center of Yangzhou. Runyang Highway Bridge, Zhenyang Branch Line and Yangzhou Port are neighbors, and Zhenjiang Jinshan Temple faces the park across the river. "Surabaya flow, Bianshui flow, flows to Guazhou ancient ferry". After a thousand years of ancient crossing, the scenic spot still exists. Jian Zhen, a monk in the Tang Dynasty, set sail from here and sailed eastward to Japan. Emperor Kanggan and poets of past dynasties all passed through Guazhou, leaving many well-known poems. It is here that the story of Du Shiniang's anger sinking into the treasure chest happened. Gudu Site, Imperial Monument Pavilion and Zaojing Pavilion have become good places for Chinese and foreign guests to explore the ancient times.
Guazhou, located at the intersection of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Yangtze River, is one of the important passages for the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to enter the Yangtze River, and is a "north-south crossroads". "Looking at Jingkou, Jiankang, International Sea and Jinjiang, there are millions of waterwheels every year, and people who participate in hundreds of state trade will stop here in an endless stream, so both the north and the south will benefit." Guazhou is also an ancient town with a long history and rich cultural heritage. Many cultural celebrities have left ink marks here. In the Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi's masterpiece "Dengguazhou" said: "Guazhou at the mouth of Beijing is separated by several mountains. When the spring breeze comes to Jiang Nanan again, when will the bright moon shine on me? " This is the place to talk. The story of Du Shiniang's anger and sinking her treasure chest has been widely circulated for hundreds of years.
Guazhou Gudu became a scenic spot a few years ago. The algae well pavilion, built to commemorate Du Shiniang's anger and sinking her treasure chest, stands quietly by the river in Gudu Scenic Area. Eight pillars support the octagonal cornice dome, and a stone tablet with the words "Zaojing Pavilion" stands in the pavilion. The back of the stone tablet tells the story of Du Shiniang's suicide by throwing himself into the river. Exquisite elegance reveals sadness. The weeping willows on the bank of the pavilion sway with the wind, shaking people's thoughts and reminding people of that sad past:
Guazhou is a famous historical and cultural town, which began in Jin Dynasty and flourished in Tang Dynasty. Located on the north bank of the Yangtze River and at the mouth of the ancient canal, it is the throat connecting the north and south of the Yangtze River in past dynasties and is known as "the important town in the north of the Yangtze River and the ancient town with a thousand years". It is 0/2km away from Yangzhou City in the north, across the river from Zhenjiang City in the south, adjacent to Yangzhou Port and Yangzhou No.2 Power Plant in the east and Yizheng Chemical Fiber Company in the west, with convenient transportation and superior geographical position.
Guazhou has a profound history, rich cultural heritage, rich cultural relics, outstanding people and rich tourism resources. It also coincides with the construction of Zhenjiang Yangzhou Yangtze River Highway Bridge, which is the first in China and the third in the world. The development of Guazhou ancient ferry presents unlimited business opportunities. It seems that the town party committee and government are vigorously developing Guazhou Gudu tourism, a sunrise industry, and giving full play to the water environment and historical and cultural advantages along the river. They will take the ancient canal as the main line, and rely on the natural scenery and pastoral scenery along the Yangtze River to develop and construct eight scenic spots, including the ancient canal scenic belt, Jiangkou Island and Jinchun Garden, Guazhouzha Garden Area, Jiang Bin Bathing and Leisure Resort Area, Jiangkou Ancient Street Folk Customs Area, Reed Wild Fun Garden, Guo Lin Sightseeing Garden and Bridge Scenic Area. The project covers an area of about 4000 mu, integrating ancient civilization, ecological sightseeing and leisure vacation. It is an important part of the Nanjing (Nanjing) Town (Jiang) Yang (Zhou) Tourism Triangle and the Suzhou (Zhou) Wuxi (Zhou) Taihu Lake Tourism Line, with great market potential.
