I am planning to visit Hangzhou, Suzhou, Shanghai, and Yiwu. Please introduce the situation in these places.
The Ten Scenes of the West Lake were formed during the Southern Song Dynasty and are basically distributed around the West Lake, with some located on the lake. The spring dawn on Su Di, the wind lotuses in Quyuan, the autumn moon on Pinghu, the remaining snow on the broken bridge, the singing of orioles in the willow waves, watching the fish in Huagang, the sunset on Leifeng, the clouds on the twin peaks, the evening bell on Nanping, the moon reflected in the Three Pools, all ten scenes of West Lake are good at their best, and they are combined together. It also represents the essence of the ancient West Lake scenery, so both locals in Hangzhou and tourists from other places talk about it, so it’s better to visit first.
1. Spring Dawn on Su Causeway Su Causeway starts from the foothills of Nanping Mountain in the south and ends at the foot of Qixia Ridge in the north, with a total length of nearly three kilometers. It was dug out of the West Lake when Su Dongpo, the great poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, was the governor of Hangzhou. Made of mud. Later generations named her Su Causeway in memory of Su Dongpo's achievements in managing the West Lake. The long embankment lies on the waves, connecting the southern and northern mountains, adding a charming scenery to the West Lake. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Su Di's spring dawn was listed as the first of the ten sceneries of West Lake. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was also called "Six Bridges of Smoked Willows" and was included in the ten sceneries of Qianqian. This shows that she has been deeply loved by people since ancient times.
After the cold winter, Su Di is like a graceful messenger coming to announce spring. The willows are on the bank, the peaches are scorching, and the lake waves are like mirrors, reflecting the beautiful shadows with infinite tenderness. The most touching thing is that when the morning light first appears and the moon sets over the western mountains, the gentle breeze blows slowly, and the willow silk curls flutter in the air, and you are ecstatic when you are on the embankment.
The Su Causeway stretches with six undulating bridges, providing visitors with a leisurely stroll and varied sightseeing route. Walking on the embankments and bridges, the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains unfolds like a picture, and thousands of customs are available for anyone to appreciate. The six arch bridges on Su Causeway are named Yingbo, Suolan, Wangshan, Yadi, Dongpu and Kuahong from south to north. What you see at the end of the bridge is that each of them is leading the way: Yingbo Bridge and Huagang Park are adjacent, with weeping poplar belts across the rain and swaying smoke; Suolan Bridge looks at Xiaoyingzhou from up close, and Baoshu Pagoda from far away, which is close to reality and far away; Looking to the west from the mountain bridge, Dingjiashan Mountain is lush and green, and the twin peaks stand majestically in the clouds; the embankment bridge is located at the golden section between the north and south of Su Di. The scenic stele pavilion "Dichunxiao" is located in the south of the bridge; Dongpu Bridge has reason to suspect that it is a rumor of "Shupu Bridge". This is one of the best spots to watch the sunrise on the lake; cross the Hongqiao Bridge to see the rainbow flying in the sky after the rain, and the lake and mountains are glowing. It's like entering a fairyland. Traffic conditions: Take 507, 504, K4, You 2 and get off at Sudi Station.
2. Quyuan Fenghe Quyuan Fenghe, with the theme of watching lotuses in summer, inherits Suzhou. "Quyuan" was originally a brewing workshop opened by the Southern Song Dynasty. It was located near the Hongchun Bridge on Lingyin Road and was close to the shore of the West Lake at that time. Lotus was cultivated near the lake. Every summer, the gentle breeze When Xu comes, the fragrance of lotus and wine floats everywhere, making people drunk even if they don’t drink. Wang Wei, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote in a poem: "People who escape the summer return to the cold spring, and the clouds at the port are bright and cool in the evening." The fragrance of the Love Canal follows people far away, and you can only buy a boat after crossing the high bridge. "Houtquyuan gradually declined and was abandoned. After Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty inscribed the ten scenes of the West Lake, he built the Quyuan Fenghe Scenery Pavilion beside the Su Causeway across the Hong Bridge. What is left is just a small courtyard in front of the courtyard. There are only one small lotus on the lake.
The most eye-catching thing about Quyuan Fenghe is the lotus viewing in summer. There are hundreds of varieties of lotus cultivated in the large and small lotus ponds in the park, among which the most charming ones are. Shufenghe Scenic Area. Mainly located on the water surface, there are red lotus, white lotus, Chongtai lotus, golden lotus, Bingdi lotus and other famous lotus flowers. There are fields of lotus leaves and enchanting small bridges on the water. When people cross the bridge, they feel as if they are walking among lotuses. They are leaning against flowers, and they are in love with each other. Traffic conditions: Take Route 507, 538, or 15 and get off at Quyuan Fenghe Station.
< p>3. Pinghu Qiuyue Scenic Area is located at the west end of Baidi, at the southern foot of Gushan Mountain, close to the Waixi Lake. In fact, as one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake, Pinghu Qiuyue did not have a fixed scenic spot in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is not difficult to see that most of the poems written by literati in the dynasty about this scene were from the perspective of boating back to the night lake and admiring the moon in the boat. For example, in Sun Rui's poem of the Southern Song Dynasty, there is a sentence: "The moon is cold and the springs are frozen, so I can sing about where to go boating"; Ming Dynasty Hong Zhanzu wrote in his poem: "In autumn, people climb the waves and wrinkle, and the dust in the mirror of the fairy mountain pavilion is reflected. "Among the woodcut prints of the ten scenes of the West Lake during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty that have been passed down through the ages, the picture "Autumn Moon over the Flat Lake" still has tourists looking up at the moon in lake boats as the main subject of the picture.The lake located in the west of the scenic spot The Tianyi Blue Building was originally a relic from the private villa "Luoyuan" of the wealthy Jewish businessman and "adventurer" Hartung in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. It later became the cradle of the emerging modern woodcut movement in China - the location of the Eight Arts Society. It was established as Xiling Painting and Calligraphy Academy, adding a bookish atmosphere to the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains. Traffic conditions: Get off at Yuefeng Station on Route 27 and Route 7.
4. The broken bridge is now located at the east end of Baidi. . Among the many large and small bridges in West Lake, she is the most famous. It is said that the Broken Bridge was built as early as the Tang Dynasty. The word "Broken Bridge" was included in the poem "Inscribed on Gushan Temple in Hangzhou" by Zhang Hu. There is a wonderful saying in Wang Keyu's "Remaining Talk on Picking Green from West Lake": "The beauty of the West Lake is that a clear lake is not as good as a rainy lake, a rainy lake is not as good as a moon lake, and a moon lake is not as good as a snow lake...it can truly appreciate the beauty of the landscape. Well, how many people are there in this world! "Hangzhou, located in the south of the Yangtze River, has a short snow season every year, and heavy snow days are even rarer. Once covered with silver makeup, it will create a snowy lake scene that is completely different from the usual scenery.
Today The Broken Bridge is an arched single-hole ring-hole stone bridge rebuilt in 1921. It is 8.8 meters long, 8.6 meters wide, and has a single-hole clear span of 6.1 meters. It was overhauled years ago, but it is simple and elegant. The style remains basically unchanged.
To the east of the bridge, there is a pavilion with a scenic stele inscribed by Emperor Kangxi. On the side of the pavilion is a waterside pavilion with the inscription "In the light of clouds and water". Green tiles and red railings, cornices and corners, together with the bridge and pavilion, form a classical style painting in the northeast corner of West Lake.
Li Liufang, a painter of the Ming Dynasty, said in his "Inscription and Postscript to the Picture of Lying in the West Lake - Looking at the Broken Bridge in Spring": "In the past, when I went to the lake, I was ecstatic when I looked at it from the broken bridge. As far as I know, the lake is sparkling At the end of the day, it is like the morning light shining on the trees and the bright moon entering the house. The mountains and rivers are reflected, and there are huge clear waves elsewhere. "Looking from this point of view, you can get the essence of the lake and mountains, not just the remaining snow. ! Traffic conditions: Get off at K7 Broken Bridge Canxue Station.
5. Sing the Orioles in the Willows Today, after nearly 40 years of continuous development and construction, the Singing of the Orioles in the Willows has evolved from an imperial garden enjoyed by the emperors into a paradise for ordinary people. She still uses the green willow color and the melodious warblers as the keynote of the park's landscape. On the thousand-meter-long embankment along the lake and along the main road of Yuan Road, she planted weeping willows, lion willows, drunken willows, Huansha willows and other characteristic willows. A Weeping Orioles Pavilion was built in the main scenic area in the middle of the park, and a giant cage "Bird Paradise" was installed not far from the Wenying Orioles Pavilion, creating an atmosphere of fireworks in March, fluttering willow silks, and the clear sound of orioles. To the east of Wenying Pavilion, the Friendship Garden scenic area is mainly composed of lawns and dense forest belts. A group of Japanese cherry blossoms have been introduced. On the north side of the lawn, there is a stone platform and the "Japan-China No longer War Monument" stands. To the west of Wenying Pavilion, there is When the Orioles in the Willows were rebuilt, the large lawn was built by filling in the swamp. The grass color is far away from the blue waves of the West Lake and the green mountains. On the north side of the lawn is the Kangxi imperial inscription of the Pavilion Pavilion inscribed by the Emperor Kangxi. On the south side, a tall tree forest was planted. Together with the lawn, willow banks, lakes and mountains, it forms a vivid picture with rich layers and changing angles.
The former Qianwang Temple in the northern part of the park was renovated into a Jiangnan private garden style, and the layout of the courtyard scenic area follows the "Jujing Garden". "It was named after the old name. In the garden, there are pavilions, terraces and pavilions, rockery springs and pools, small bridges and flowing water, low walls and leaky windows, and exotic flowers and plants, all according to their positions, forming a scenic view. The whole garden has winding paths leading to secluded places, making it a unique world.
The southeastern part of the park has been opened as a place for mass recreational activities and an open-air stage has been built. It has become a good place for Hangzhou citizens and tourists from all over the world to exercise in the morning, relax during holidays and celebrate festivals. Every summer and autumn, it is also a good place to cool off at night. Garden", songs, dances, operas, movies and movies with diverse content and rich forms. Various flower shows, lantern festivals and folk custom performances held from time to time attract people. Traffic conditions: Take K4 or 38 and get off at Qingbomen Station .
6. Huagang Fish Viewing Park is located to the west of the southern section of Su Causeway, on a peninsula between Xili Lake and Xiaonan Lake. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the chamberlain Yun Sheng once stayed here. Not far away, a private garden was built at the foot of Huajia Mountain. There were sparse flowers and trees in the garden, water was diverted into a pond, and five-colored fish were raised for viewing. It gradually became a place frequented by tourists. It was also called Lu Garden at that time because it was close to Huajia Mountain. It was named after Huagang. The palace painter included it in the painting of the Ten Scenes of West Lake. In the 38th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1699), Emperor Xuan Ye visited the West Lake and, as usual, wrote about the fish scenes in Huagang. The monument was built beside the fish pond. Later, when Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River to visit the West Lake, another poem was inscribed on the shade of the monument. There is a sentence in the poem: "Flowers of Huajia Mountain are covered with fish bodies and fish sucking flowers."
Today, Huagang Fish Viewing is a large park covering an area of more than 20 hectares. The whole park is divided into five scenic spots: red fish pond, peony garden, Huagang, large lawn, and dense forest. Transportation conditions: Take K4, 538, and K599 Su.
7. Leifeng is located in front of Jingci Temple. It is the remnant of Nanping Mountain extending to the north. It rises majestically by the lake and has lush trees. Although it is small and exquisite, it is famous. It is one of the best on the lake, because there was the Leifeng Pagoda built during the Wuyue Dynasty on the top of the mountain. It was the most beautiful and elegant among the many ancient pagodas in West Lake. Unfortunately, the pagoda fell down more than seventy years ago, and even the name of the mountain was lost. It was replaced by Xizhao Mountain. This famous peninsula-shaped mountain on the south bank of West Lake was once occupied by the Imperial Garden of the Southern Song Dynasty. After 1949, a large number of camphor, liquidambar, elm and other ornamental trees were planted on the mountain. The scenery is still gorgeous when the setting sun shines on Lin Tao. Traffic conditions: K4, travel 1 to the foot of Jingsi
8. The two peaks of the towering Tianmu Mountain go east, and the other branch meets the West Lake and splits into the north and south to form the West Lake. Nanshan and Beishan in the scenic area. Among them, the southern peak and the northern peak were both occupied by monks in ancient times. Buddhist pagodas were built on the top of the mountains, facing each other from a distance, and they were significantly higher than the other peaks. On a beautiful day in spring and autumn, the mist is green and white, and the top of the tower rises into the clouds, sometimes disappearing and sometimes appearing. Looking from a distance, the momentum is extraordinary. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Two Peaks Chai Yun was listed as one of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty renamed it Shuangfeng Chai Yun and built a scenic stele pavilion beside the Hongchun Bridge. At that time, the ancient Shuangfeng Pagoda had been destroyed for a long time, and even the original connotation of this scene was once difficult to be known. Setting up a scenic stele pavilion here is actually a temporary measure. "The floating map is opposite to the dawn of Cui Wei, and the accumulated greenery is floating in the sky. Try to look towards Fenghuang Mountain, the sky is high in the south and the smoke is low in the north." This is the poem "Two Peaks Stretching into the Clouds" by Wang Wei, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty. It tells people: the scenery of two peaks piercing the clouds.
Although the place and way of viewing Shuangfeng Chaoyun has changed repeatedly since ancient times, the three peaks on the south and north sides are famous peaks in the West Lake Demon Mountain that are very popular for climbing. They have not changed to this day. The southern peak faces the West Lake and is 257 meters high. During the climb, steep rocks are exposed and the cliffs are majestic. Climbing to the top of the mountain and looking eastward, the panoramic view of the West Lake is more vivid than painting, which is better than painting.
The North Peak is 314 meters above sea level. It is the mountain where Lingyin Temple is located. Climbing up the mountain from the west side of the temple, there are thousands of stone steps, winding and twisting around thirty-six bends. Along the way, the mountains and streams are clear and the trees are overlapping. The ancients wrote poems about it. He praised: "The sound of pine trees is accompanied by rain all the way, and the mist of mist forms clouds in the air." On the east side of the mountain, there is the West Lake Bayi manned ropeway, which is more than 60% long. It only takes six or seven minutes to go up and down the mountain. Traffic conditions: Take No. 507 and You 2 and get off at Hongchunqiao Station.
9. Nanping Evening Bell Nanping Evening Bell may be the earliest sight among the ten sceneries of West Lake. Zhang Zeduan, a famous painter at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, once painted "Nanping Evening Bell Picture". Although this picture is far less famous in the painting world than his "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", it was recorded in the Ming Dynasty's "Tianshui Bingshanlu". Nanping Mountain stretches across the south bank of West Lake. The height of the mountain is only a hundred meters, but the mountain body extends for more than a thousand meters. The strange rocks on the mountain are towering and the green trees are pleasant to the eyes. On a sunny day, the mountains are full of greenery, which is beautiful against the blue sky and white clouds. On rainy and foggy days, the clouds and smoke cover the mountains, and the mountains seem to be dancing, misty and ethereal, as if they are far away. In the first year of the Later Zhou Dynasty (954), Qian Hongshu, the leader of the Wuyue Kingdom, built the Huiri Yongming Temple, a Buddhist temple at the foot of Nanping Mountain. It later became the Jingci Temple, one of the two major Buddhist temples in the West Lake, which stands side by side with Lingyin Temple in the north and south.
Xingjiao Temple, another famous Buddhist temple at the foot of Nanping Mountain, was built in the fifth year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty (972). It was once the headquarters of the Tiantai Sect of Buddhism. Jingci Temple, Xingjiao Temple and nearby small and medium-sized temples form another Buddhist temple community on the lake after Lingyin and Tianzhu. With morning bells, curtains and drums, burning shells, Buddhist chants, and cigarettes and candlelight, Nanping Mountain has since been nicknamed "Foguoshan" The charm of Nanping Evening Bell is slowly taking shape. The mountains around Nanping Mountain are made of limestone. The mountain is porous and the rock walls of the mountains serve as barriers. Whenever the evening bell of the Buddhist temple rings, the oscillation frequency of the bell is transmitted to the mountain. Rocks, caves, etc. are forced by it, accelerating the vibration of the sound waves. The amplitude suddenly increases and forms a oscillation. Rocks and caves will produce a speaker effect, enhancing the sound of the sound. At the same time, the bells flew over the West Lake with the same frequency, reaching the other side of the West Lake, hitting the ridge made of igneous rocks on the other side, and echoing repeatedly. Traffic situation: K4, travel 1 to Jingsi.
10. Santan Reflecting the Moon Santan Reflecting the Moon is also known as Xiaoyingzhou. Together with the Pavilion in the center of the lake and Ruan Gongdun, it is collectively known as the three islands on the lake. The entire island including the water surface covers an area of about seven hectares. There are curved bridges connecting the north and south, and earth embankments connect the east and west. The bridge embankments intersect in the shape of a "ten", dividing the island's water surface into four parts. The outer surface of the water surface is surrounded by a circular embankment. Viewed from the air, the land on the island is shaped like a huge "field", showing that there is an island in the lake, a lake in the island, and the waterscape is unique among the ten sceneries of the West Lake. It is the representative of water gardens in the south of the Yangtze River in my country. A classic. In the 35th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1607), Nie Xintang, the magistrate of Qiantang County, took mud from the lake and built a dam around the island, forming a lake within a lake as a place to release animals. Later generations built three small bottle-shaped stone towers in the island's south lake, called the "Three Pools". In the early Qing Dynasty, they built curved bridges and pavilions on the island, and planted hibiscus trees along the inner lake. Yulin built a villa here, and Xiaoyingzhou began to take shape.
The landscape of Santan Reflecting the Moon is rich in layers, the space is varied, and the architectural layout is ingenious. Disembark from the North Pier of the island, pass by the Pantheon and other two buildings, and then step into the Jiuqu Pingqiao. There are four pavilions with different shapes on the bridge, including the Open Net Pavilion, the Pavilion Pavilion, the Kangxi Imperial Stele Pavilion, and the My Heart and Heart Pavilion. People walked around, stopped and took a look, talked and laughed, took photos, lingered and took in the beautiful scenery.
To the east of Jiuqu Bridge, it faces a short white wall across the water. There is no connection at both ends of the wall, and it looks like a screen. However, four leaky windows with exquisite floral decorations are opened on the whitewashed wall, and the spaces inside and outside the wall are continuously separated and penetrate each other. Outside the wall there is a bustle of tourists, but inside the wall it is elegant and quiet, and it is very different from the arrogance so close to you. Transportation: Take a boat from West Lake.
