This is one of the famous scenic spots in Kunming, and it is also the area with the most historical sites and the most obvious cultural conflicts in Kunming. Here, you can not only feel the essence of ancient garden art, but also feel the influence of foreign culture on Kunming. At the same time, the characteristics of Kunming in the modern history of China can be traced back to. Under the collision of history and modernity, the charm of Kunming will naturally emerge.
First stop: Cuihu Park
Since Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, court officials in Yunnan have been building pavilions and willows in Cuihu, while Yao Ji, governor of Tang Dynasty, built Tang Di in Cuihu, forming a pattern of one lake and four districts.
Walking along Tangdi all the way to the center of Cuihu Lake, a lotus temple came into view. This Lotus Temple was built in the first year of Jiaqing, and was demolished and rebuilt in 1932 by Long Yun, then chairman of Yunnan Province. He changed the hall in the middle of the yard into a stage. Today, we can occasionally hear old people singing Yunnan Opera on the tower of this "Long Yun Stage".
Grandparents in Kunming are actually very good at playing. They regard Cuihu Park as their gathering place. They have nothing to do with the wind, the rising sun, catkins flying, playing erhu, singing and listening to opera, and living a very comfortable life.
The second stop is around the lake.
After leaving Cuihu Park, I decided to take a walk around the lake. If the inside of Cuihu Lake is the presentation of China's garden landscape, then the outside of Cuihu Lake is the fusion of China's ancient culture and new culture.
In fact, Cuihu is an important area of nightlife in Kunming, where there are many holy places to eat, drink and have fun. For example, the Starbucks Cafe, which combines the ancient elements of China, the Zhonghe Club, which sells Guinness, and the World Peace Club, which highlights Yunnan culture, are all hidden in the Cuihu area.
Moreover, Cuihu is also an important part of Kunming's Republic of China culture. Not only Lu Han House is near Cuihu Lake, but also the famous Yunnan Military Academy.
Yunnan Military Academy is one of the three halls in Wujiang, which has trained more than 9,000 officers and non-commissioned officers. Marshal Zhu De called it "the melting pot of China revolution".
During the Anti-Japanese War, the National Southwest Associated University was founded, and many cultural celebrities from China came to Kunming. They live near Cuihu Lake. For example, Liu Wendian, an outstanding master of modern literature and history, once lived in Cuihu North Road.
There is also a famous poet and revolutionary martyr Wen Yiduo, whose martyrdom is also near Cuihu.
There are many places full of historical traces like this.
The third stop, Yunnan University
Walking through the Cuihu Lake, the most famous university in Yunnan immediately came into view-Yunnan University.
Yunnan University is now one of the favorite shooting locations for photographers, and this Hui Ze Garden building has contributed greatly. In fact, you can find many such buildings in Kunming, which have both China charm and foreign architectural features, making Kunming look particularly different.
In Yunnan University, you can also find Gong Yuan of the Qing Dynasty, which is the examination room for the imperial examinations. Candidates were answering questions in such a small room at that time, and they stayed for a month.
And Yinxing Road.
This is what he looks like in autumn.
Do you think it's beautiful?
Kunming, in fact, has a history of more than 2200 years, and the history of the old Kunming people left a deep impression on the city. Today, I just show you nine Niu Yi hairs of Kunming's history and culture, and there are more wonderful contents waiting for us to discover. For example, the long couplet of the vast grand view building, the national fusion culture in Yunnan and so on, all of which are the unique charm of Kunming.
These contents will be presented to you by the landlord later.
I also look forward to seeing the unique scenery of Kunming in your eyes.
