This morning, it was cloudy and the temperature was not too high. I decided to visit Hancheng Lake.
The children have made up lessons, and the lover has also accompanied the second child to make up lessons. I don't need to drive by myself. It takes only three to five minutes to walk from home to the bus stop at No.900 Electronic Road, which is also the starting point. It should be more convenient to go directly to the high-yield gate of Hancheng Lake than to drive by yourself.
After all, it was summer vacation and I missed the peak period. The bus soon arrived at Hancheng Lake, which took less than an hour. When I got off the bus, the first thing I saw was the tall statue of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. Guided by the bronze statue, I crossed the overpass and arrived at Hancheng Lake Scenic Area smoothly. The scenic spot is open and you can walk freely. You need to buy a ticket by boat, board the Dafeng Pavilion and visit the ruins of Chang 'an City in Han Dynasty. The radio at the entrance of the scenic spot has been broadcasting preferential information: the original package price 100 yuan, and the preferential price is 90 yuan. Maybe it's because it's not Sunday, or maybe it's because the weather is hot, there are few people in the huge scenic spot, and there are only a few cruise ships on the lake.
This is good! I can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hancheng Lake. Hancheng Lake used to be a depression, where all the sewage in Xi 'an was discharged. It was once called the largest public toilet in Xi 'an. Later, with the expansion of Xi 'an city, the government decided to sort out this depression, and combined with the history of Tuanjie Reservoir, designed a lake according to local conditions, and because it was located on the site of Chang 'an City in Han Dynasty, it took a tall name: Hancheng Lake.
In the north of Hancheng Lake, a tall bronze statue of Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, stands facing south. The tour guide said that this is the largest statue of the emperor in China at present. The height of the statue of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is 2 1.5 meters, which means that the Western Han Dynasty ruled for 2 15 years. The height of the pedestal is 7 meters, which means that Emperor Liu Che is the seventh emperor of the Western Han Dynasty. I don't know the history, but pay more attention to the natural landscape of Hancheng Lake, so I'm not very interested in Fengchan Hanfu. I took a photo and walked south along the shore of the lake.
It is worth mentioning that the musical fountain in front of Hancheng Lake is closed to Zen. Although I didn't see it, the tour guide Xiao Zhang said it was worth seeing: the total length of the music fountain is150m, the length from north to south is100m, and the height of the main fountain is 60m. Sprinklers are not usually under the lake. When it started, water gushed out of the lake, which was very spectacular. The performance lasts for 30 minutes and is divided into three chapters. Under the control of computer, various water curtain shapes can be displayed. Starting at 8: 30 every night, through three chapters: the brave wind of Hanwu, the charm of the green lake and the scene of prosperous times, the magnificent national wind of the Han empire is displayed in a colorful way, the heroic spirit of Hanwu the Great is displayed, and the happy life scenes of Chinese children are interpreted.
I have enjoyed the North Square of Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which is known as the largest musical fountain in Asia, and I have also seen the magnificent scenery of the lake fountain in my hometown Luoyang New District. But after listening to the tour guide today, I think we should arrange an evening to take our children to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hancheng Lake Music Fountain.
There are not many tourists, which makes the scenic spot more spacious. The willows on the shore are crying, the shadows are swaying, the crape myrtle is blooming, and the canna is also blooming with the most beautiful appearance. The wind swept across the lake and rippled, and the fish jumped out of the water from time to time and rippled.
The tour guide is talkative and has a sweet smile. Along the way, he told me the story that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hid Jiao in the Golden Palace, and that his cousin Gillian had been childhood friends since childhood. When they were young, they told their families that if they could marry Gillian as their daughter-in-law, they would build her a golden house to live in. I said I didn't expect the origin of the Golden House to be related to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The tour guide said with a smile, either it has something to do with it, or it is the real source of the golden house. Next, the tour guide told me the story of Su Wu herding sheep, the story of Huo Qubing, an ancient general of Fu Biao, and the story of Wei Qing who created the myth of seven victories in seven wars in the Sino-Hungarian War. Although I don't know much about history, I am deeply interested in historical stories, especially when listening to a beautiful woman. I am more fascinated and immersed in the past.
Unconsciously, we have walked two or three kilometers along the levee of Hancheng Lake, and we are not impressed by the waterwheel square we have passed. I only remember that at that time, the tour guide said that there were two large waterwheels of the Han Dynasty in the waterwheel square, with a diameter of 2 1.5 meters, which also implied that the Western Han Dynasty ruled for 2 15 years, and the smaller one was 19.6 meters, suggesting that the Eastern Han Dynasty ruled for 196 years. It can be said that there is a big gap between this waterwheel square and the waterwheel Expo Park on the bank of the Yellow River in Lanzhou. There is nothing new, so I won't mention it.
However, I was surprised by several bridges across the banks of Hancheng Lake. Peace Bridge, Huilan Bridge, Hongming Bridge and Wushang Bridge left a deep impression on me. On the one hand, the bridge and the water form a beautiful picture, on the other hand, the design and naming of the bridge is quite meaningful. Taiping Bridge was named after the historical facts of pursuing peace in Han Dynasty, such as Su Wu herding sheep, Zhang Qian's mission, Silk Road, Zhaojun's departure from the fortress and so on. Now it is a municipal bridge for citizens to travel daily. Huilan Bridge is a landscape bridge, winding like a sculpture, which is naturally integrated with the landscape environment. As the name implies, Hongming Bridge is the tallest of the four bridges, and there is the largest hole in the middle of the bridge, which is convenient for cruise ships to pass. The reflection of three bridge opening forms three circles in the water, which is very beautiful. Hongming Bridge is a place where people feel beautiful things and look forward to a bright future. On the other hand, the Wu Shang Bridge is inlaid with golden dragon relief, which are all paved with gold foil. The designer also put these four golden dragons here to show the majesty of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
In the Hunan section of Seoul, it is the site of Chang 'an City of Han Dynasty, corresponding to another landmark building of Hancheng Lake-Dafeng Pavilion. This is the highest point of Hancheng Lake Scenic Area, and you can have a panoramic view of the scenic area and the ruins of Chang 'an City in Han Dynasty. The guide's idea of talking about the Great Wind Pavilion comes from the Song of the Wind written by Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang: "The wind blows and clouds fly, the weaver girl returns to her hometown in the sea, and the strong men are everywhere." Nowadays, the construction of the Dafeng Pavilion on the lakeside in Seoul is an expression of China people's lofty desire to safeguard world unity.
It's past noon, and the sun is burning the earth with full power. My guide Xiao Zhang and I are already sweating unconsciously. I thanked Xiao Zhang and ended my half-day trip to Hancheng Lake.
Coming out of Dafeng Pavilion and crossing the overpass to the east, I arrived at Fannan Village, which was my initial foothold when I came to Xi 'an more than ten years ago. I remember that it was May of 200 1 year, and I went to work in Dabeinong Shaanxi Company from Zhengzhou. At that time, Dabeinong Shaanxi Company was in Handu Hotel in Fannan Village, where I spent an unforgettable four years. Today, Handu Hotel no longer exists, but is replaced by high-rise buildings. Fannan Village has been transformed into a village in the city, and only the name Fannan Village has been retained. The process of urbanization has already made Fannan Village no longer exist.
On the 900 bus, I was planning when to take my children back to Hancheng Lake and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the fountain while rowing. Of course, what I want more in my heart is to let the children know the glorious history of the Western Han Dynasty that belongs to our people, and I hope they can realize China's great dream of reviving the empire in the future through their own efforts.
