Chapter 559: Everything is for the sake of appeasing Loli



Yunluo is a very handsome guy, and he has a very cute loli at hand. Qingshui Tianzi is about to leave China to study in Japan, so whatever Yunluo does is very normal.

So, when An Chuyu, An Qing, Ju Xiang and Chu Chunzi didn't expect it, Yun Luo drove a silver, black and red flag, took the loli Xiao Tianzi and Hong Shu Tangtang, and left Xihu City like the wind, and went to Wuxi, a two-hour drive away, to play, also to make the six-year-old loli happy.

You must visit Taihu Lake when you come to Wuxi, and you must visit Yuantouzhu when you visit Taihu Lake. Yuantouzhu is a peninsula lying on the northwest shore of Taihu Lake. It is named because of the huge rocks protruding into the lake, which look like a tortoise with its head raised.

Yuantouzhu Scenic Area now covers an area of ​​539 hectares, with many landscapes, including Chongshan Yinxiu, Luding Yinghui, Yuanzhu Chuntao, Hengyun Villa, Guangfu Temple, Taihu Fairy Island, Jiangnan Orchid Garden, Sino-Japanese Cherry Blossom Friendship Forest, etc., each with its own style. The scenic area has become a famous tourist resort and a national 5A-level scenic area.

Yunluo held Qingshui Tianzi's tender little hand, and Hongshu Tangtang lay on Loli's fragrant shoulders, walking slowly. The scenery here is beautiful and natural, and it is the essence of Taihu Lake scenery, so it is known as "the first scenic spot in Taihu Lake". The contemporary great poet's poem "The best place in Taihu Lake is Yuantou after all" praised Yuantouzhu, which made the charm of Yuantouzhu spread both at home and abroad.

The spring waves of the lake kiss the rocks, and the clear water and sky are the same color: the towering pavilion on the mountaintop flaps its wings, and the solitary wild goose flies with the setting sun. From a distance, the lake is hazy and the bird islands are floating; from a close distance, the mountains are green and the pavilions are vague. The scenery changes from morning to night, and if it rains or snows, the scenery is very different. In mid-spring April, the cherry blossoms are on the spring bridge, and in the autumn sky, the orchid-scented pavilion has its own style.

Yuantouzhu Scenic Area is vast and has many views. You can first climb up to Shutian Pavilion on Luding Mountain, overlook the surroundings and refresh your mind, then go up to Yuantouzhu, or walk along the flower path, or wade barefoot in the low beach. Or you can take a boat to play with the waves on the lake, sit on the reef to meditate, climb up the building to taste tea, appreciate the beauty of Taihu Lake, and finally take a boat across the lake to explore the magical and magical wonders of Taihu Lake Fairy Island.

The beautiful scenery of Yuantouzhu has long been yearned for by people. During the Xiaoliang period, the "Guangfu Temple" was built here, which was one of the "480 temples in the Southern Dynasties. Many towers and pavilions in the mist and rain". In the early Ming Dynasty, "Spring Rise of Taihu Lake" was listed as one of the "Eight Scenic Spots of Wuxi". In the late Ming Dynasty, the leaders of the Donglin Party often came here to walk on the waves and chant, leaving behind the relics of "Washing Feet by the Yuantouzhu", and many literati and scholars have chanted about it.

In the late Qing Dynasty, the magistrate of Wuxi inscribed two cliff carvings, "Encompassing Wu and Yue" and "Horizontal Clouds", on the cliff overlooking the lake. These inscriptions not only praised the majestic momentum of Taihu Lake and its broad mind that nurtured Wu and Yue, but also contained a pertinent comment on the scenery of this place that fully embraces the beauty of the mountains and waters of Wu and Yue.

Before the Ming Dynasty, Yuantouzhu was already a place people yearned for. Its lush forests, bamboos, steep cliffs, and cliff carvings, combined with the beauty of Taihu Lake, made it a beautiful place. It was considered the "Peach Blossom Spring" in Wuxi.

Yuantouzhu Park was once Chiang's private garden and is known as "the first scenic spot in Wuxi". It is surrounded by green mountains and clear waters. There are garden buildings such as Changchun Bridge, Chenglan Hall, Feiyun Pavilion, Jinsong Tower, Guangfu Temple, Taozhu Pavilion, etc. The six major scenic spots, including Taihu Fairy Island, Juqu Scenic Spot, Yuanzhu Spring Waves, Wanlangjuanxue, Luding Yinghui, and Chongshan Yinxiu, each have their own characteristics.

Yun Luo climbed up Yuantou with Qingshui Tianzi in his arms. The vast and magnificent Taihu Lake appeared before his eyes, which was refreshing. Shutian Pavilion on the top of the mountain stood majestically. From the pavilion, one could have a bird's eye view of the entire Taihu Lake. "Luding Morning Sun". A red sun burst out, and the sky was filled with colorful clouds, covering the mountains with gold and the lake with golden dots. It was very spectacular.

The Yuantouzhu Archway was the old gate of the Yuantouzhu Scenic Area in the past. Now it is the prelude to the "Yuanzhu Spring Waves", the first of the 18 scenic spots in Wuxi. "Yuan" is an animal that looks like a turtle, and "Zhu" refers to a small piece of land surrounded by water on three sides. It is called Yuantouzhu because it looks like a turtle head.

Behind the gatehouse are engraved four characters "Shan Hui Chuan Mei", which point out the characteristics of the scenery here: "The mountains are not high but elegant, and the water is not deep but vast". Yunluo and Qingshui Tianzi walked along the avenue and saw the 300-meter-high Dujuan Slope. Dujuan is the city flower of Wuxi City. During the Qingming Festival, Dujuan in the bushes, under the forests, and by the streams blooms all over the mountains, reflecting the red color of the mountains, like a sea of ​​flowers.

The lush trees on both sides are camphor trees, which are the city trees of Wuxi. The Taihu Jiajuechu Archway was originally the gatehouse of "Hengyun Villa", with a classical structure and northern style, connected by brackets, glazed roof, and flying eaves.

This memorial archway is the old gate of Yuantouzhu Park. It was inscribed with "Splendid Mountains and Charming Rivers". On the right side of the memorial archway, there is a brick archway with "Li She" and "Wen Jin" engraved on the front and back. Originally, people had to take a ferry to get here. The ferry stopped here, so it was called "Li She". The ferry brought tourists here. If they didn't know where the "Peach Blossom Spring" was, they had to "ask for it".

Entering the memorial archway, there is a screen wall decorated with phoenixes flying through peonies. Behind the wall is a waterside pavilion called "Hanwan Pavilion" facing the water. Inside the pavilion hangs a plaque with the inscription "Lake and Mountain Painting", which was written by Emperor Qianlong. Turning around, the lake is surrounded by mountains, forests and islands. To the north is Zhongdushan Island, which is now the site of the Taihu Sanatorium; opposite are Daji Mountain and Xiaoji Mountain, with lush trees and beautiful scenery.

Wuxi ethnic industrialists and businessmen built the "Jinyuan" there. Behind the memorial archway is a screen wall decorated with a pattern of "phoenix wearing peony". The phoenix and peony represent auspiciousness. The entire screen wall blocks the scenery in the courtyard, which has the effect of suppressing before praising.

Baojie Bridge is located at the narrowest part of Lihu Lake. It includes two parallel bridges, old and new, which divide Lihu Lake into East Lihu Lake and West Lihu Lake. It is also the only way from Wuxi to Yuantouzhu Scenic Area and film and television bases such as Tang City, Three Kingdoms City, and Water Margin City.

After the completion of the double bridges, the poetic sentiment of Li Bai, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, "Two waters are like a mirror, and two bridges are like rainbows", has become a vivid cultural scene by the Li Lake. The story of the grandfather and grandson building the bridge has become a legend. Changchun Bridge is located in a pool between Hanwanxuan and Jiangxuexuan. The lake embankment in front and behind the bridge separates it from the water of Taihu Lake. The bridge is arched, like the Jade Belt Bridge in the Summer Palace, and the bridge hole is round in the sun.

The introduction of wild Japanese mountain cherry trees on the lake embankment has a history of more than 60 years. Every April, the flowers bloom like clouds, with pale pink and white colors, and are particularly charming under the shade of green mountains and green waters. They are called "Eternal Spring Cherry Blossoms". In front of Changchun Bridge, there is an ancient building half exposed above the water, with the inscription "Jiangxue Pavilion", facing the Hanwan Pavilion.

Next to Jiangxuexuan is Yundoulou. To commemorate his ancestors, the owner of the garden built a temple for the goddess of flowers uphill. There is a statue of the goddess of flowers, Nüyi, with a high bun and cloud-like clothes, and a graceful posture. Changchun Bridge was built to commemorate the owner's 60th birthday, and it means eternal youth. The Japanese "Somei Yoshino" is planted on both sides of the lake embankment. Among the Japanese cherry blossom varieties, "Somei Yoshino" is recognized as the most beautiful.

When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom in March and April, people walking among them feel like they are walking in a painting. When the petals fall, a breeze blows and the cherry blossoms fall into the pond next to it, forming ripples with the waves. The scenic spot got its name from the cherry blossoms and was named Changchun Huayi.

Changchun Bridge is an arched stone bridge, towering above the lake. Its banks are covered with cherry blossoms, blocking the view of the outer lake and separating the water surface from space. From a plane perspective, it adds variation, creating a contrast of size, reality and illusion, movement and stillness on the vast lake surface. From a facade perspective, it enriches the levels of scenery. It forms a space of its own with Hanwanxuan, Jiangxuexuan and the eastern hillside, constituting the scenery of Changchun Blossoms.

There is a folk saying about the origin of Taihu Lake: It is said that a long time ago, when the Queen Mother celebrated her birthday, a Peach Banquet was held in the Heavenly Palace. The Jade Emperor ordered the Four Vajras to deliver a birthday gift, which was a large silver box containing 72 extra-large jadeite. The surface of the box was also carved with various colorful birds and beasts, like a treasure bowl, which won the praise of all the gods present.

But the Queen Mother did not invite Sun Wukong to the banquet, so the Monkey King made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace. When he saw the big silver box sent by the Jade Emperor, he knocked it over with a stick, and the silver box fell from the sky and hit the ground, forming a big pit. The silver box immediately turned into lake water.

Because the lake fell from the sky, the horizontal stroke on the Chinese character "天" fell to the bottom to form a dot, which is "太", so the lake was named "太湖". The 72 jades were scattered in Taihu Lake, forming 72 peaks. The silver box was originally round, but it was hit by Sun Wukong, which is why Taihu Lake is not round.

The legend of Taihu Lake is fascinating. Actually, Taihu Lake was originally a large bay. About 5,000 years ago, the earth's crust sank and the silt in the east accumulated, causing the Yangtze River Delta to extend eastward. The depression in the west formed the vast Taihu Lake. However, folk legends have added to the mystery of Taihu Lake.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

There is an intoxicating road of flowers and trees in Yuantouzhu Scenic Area of ​​Taihu Lake, which is the beautiful Ten-Li Path. It starts from the southwest end of Baojie Bridge, where there is a Taihu Best Archway built against the road surface, and then it goes along the mountains and rivers to Bogong Island.

Following the advice of passers-by, Yunluo drove with a silver, black and red flag, taking Qingshui Tianzi and Hongshu Tangtang through the ten-mile flower path and heading for Bogong Island. Bogong Island is the largest artificial island in Wuxi City, also known as Bogong Island Ecological Park. It is located on the south side of Daxuan Bridge on Huanhu Road and borders Yuantouzhu Park. It was built on the east side of the original Dushan Dam in conjunction with the project of returning fisheries to the lake.

It faces Guanshe Mountain to the west and is opposite Chong Mountain to the south. It covers an area of ​​about 37 hectares and is about 1,700 meters long from north to south. Dushan Road runs through the north and south, connecting with Lianghu Road by Bogong Bridge in the north and Yuantouzhu by Dushan Bridge in the south.

Bogong Island Ecological Park integrates water conservancy projects, natural scenery and cultural landscapes. It is another main park open to the public for free after Lihu Park in the 36-kilometer Lihu Lake Scenic Belt. It is named in memory of Zhang Bo, a pioneer in water conservancy.

We got off the bus in front of the Wuli Lake sluice gate and started our tour of Bogong Island. Wuli Lake, also known as Li Lake, is an inner lake of Taihu Lake. Located between the Wuxi urban area and the outer Taihu Lake, it is a natural reservoir for flood discharge and water storage in Wuxi.

The green area of ​​Bogong Island is nearly 300,000 square meters. A wide road stretching for thousands of meters, covered with a long trellis, runs through the lakeside Bogong Island. This road is built with 13 kinds of vines and is called the longest vine viewing corridor in China by experts. The viewing corridor will form a green corridor with a total length of 1.2 kilometers.
