Where are the East Lake and the West Lake?

I have two famous "East Lakes", one in Wuhan, Hubei, and the other in Shaoxing, Zhejiang.

1. Wuhan East Lake Scenic Area

Wuhan East Lake Scenic Area is located between the inner ring and the central ring of Wuhan, with an area of 8 1.68 square kilometers, of which the lake area is 33 square kilometers. It is not only the largest lake in China, but also the place where Comrade Mao Zedong has lived overseas for the longest time except Central South after liberation. East Lake was listed as the first batch of national key scenic spots by the State Council in 1982, and it receives 2 million Chinese and foreign tourists every year. In 2000, it became the first batch of AAAA-level scenic spots and passed ISO 1400 1 environmental management system certification in 2002.

The main attractions of East Lake are Fable Garden, Music Fountain, Yinhang Pavilion, Sky Tower, Jiunvdun, Huguang Pavilion and Moshan New Scenic Area.

Fable Garden is the first sculpture garden in China with the theme of ancient fables in China. Located at the southern end of Tingtao District of East Lake, covering an area of 4.4 hectares. Groups of fable sculptures such as Smith, Tiger and Tiger, Yugong, Yishan and Self-contradiction have been built 1 1. Yin Hang Pavilion is located on an island in the middle of the northwest coast of East Lake. Built in 1955. It is surrounded by water and connected to the land by two bridges: Hefeng Bridge and Luo Yu Bridge. The name of the pavilion comes from The Fisherman of Chu Ci: "Qu Yuan flies, swims in Hechi and sings beside bamboo trees". The pavilion is a reinforced concrete imitation wood structure with a height of 22.5 meters, a square plane, three floors, and a four-corner conical roof, which is antique. Yin Hang Pavilion is vigorous and handsome, with strong national flavor. In front of the pavilion stands a full-length statue of Qu Yuan, with a height of 3.6 meters and a base height of 3.2 meters. Modeling dignified, Qu Yuan looked up at the sky, carefree.

Qu Yuan Pingming (340- 278 BC), a native of Zigui during the Warring States Period, was an outstanding politician and a great patriotic poet. Chu Huaiwang is a doctor in San Lv. He put forward a series of correct policies for governing the country, implemented the progressive policy of "invigorating talents and empowering the people" at home, and implemented the strategic proposition of "uniting Qi to resist Qin" at abroad, which made Chu state dominate the world in the south and once became strong. Later, he was slandered by a villain, and Chu Huaiwang alienated Qu Yuan and exiled the Northern Han Dynasty. After King Xiang of Chu succeeded to the throne, he became more fatuous. He exiled Qu Yuan to the south of the Yangtze River, and he was not allowed to ask about state affairs. In 278 BC, the state of Qin invaded the capital of Chu, and Qu Yuan, who had been wandering in the south of the Yangtze River for 20 years, was 62 years old. He witnessed the destruction of his country, and his heart was filled with grief and anger. On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, he died in Guluo River. Changtianlou, a palace-style building with national characteristics, was built in 1956. It's a brick-wood cement structure with three-tile cornices. It is divided into two floors, seven wide and two deep. The whole building can accommodate thousands of people to have meals and tea at the same time. Visitors can see the boundless blue waves from the window, and there is a feeling that "the sunset is lonely in Qi Fei, and the autumn water is the same as the sky".

Jiunvdun is located on the hill northwest of East Lake. It is said that many women joined the army when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom occupied Wuchang. After the Qing army captured the city, nine female soldiers died heroically. The villagers admired their heroism and buried their bodies here together. Because of avoiding the persecution of the Qing court, it is called pier instead of grave. 1956, Hubei province designated it as a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit.

Huguang Pavilion is built on an island in the middle of the lake, and it is connected to the land by a ten-mile causeway. Formerly known as "Zhongzheng Pavilion", it was built in 193 1 to commemorate Chiang Kai-shek's 50th birthday, and later renamed "Huguang Pavilion". The pavilion has three floors and six sides, and the eaves are blue tiles. Boarding the pavilion and looking around, the cruise ship moved lightly and there were thousands of scenic spots. Foggy days, water and sky are the same color, the lake is high and the clouds are light, such as Penglai fairyland, all of which are desirable.

Moshan is located on the east bank of East Lake, surrounded by water on three sides, with six peaks connected and mountains and rivers interdependent. Known as "ten miles long lake, eight miles grinding mountain." There is a Chu culture tourist area with Chu culture as its connotation in the north of the mountain; There are thirteen characteristic botanical gardens in Shannan, mainly plants in the lake area; On the top of the mountain in the west, there is a Zhubei Pavilion in memory of Zhu De's inscription for East Lake. From the north, there are four scenic spots in Moshan Scenic Area, namely Chutian Jim, Tiantai Chenxi, Changchun Garden and Zhubei Songcui. It is a good place for Wuhan citizens to spend their holidays and relax.

East Lake has beautiful scenery, winding coastline and scattered islands, including Moshan Mountain, Fengduo Mountain and Dizi Mountain. The ***34 peak closely surrounds the clear water of East Lake. According to statistics, there are 396 species of Cedar, Metasequoia and Cinnamomum camphora, which are called green treasure houses. It is also a sea of fresh flowers, full of exotic flowers and herbs, and the fragrance keeps coming all year round. The most distinctive flowers in East Lake are plum blossom, lotus flower and osmanthus fragrans. Among them, there is a special ornamental garden for plum blossom, covering an area of more than 800 mu, in which 3,000 plants have been cultivated. Plum varieties were registered three times in the world, with 200 registered varieties, of which Donghu Meiyuan accounted for 142. The variety, scientific research achievements and ornamental value of East Lake in plum blossom and lotus are in a leading position in China, so China Flower Association has set up "China Plum Blossom Research Center" and "China Lotus Research Center" in East Lake. East Lake also has one of the three largest cherry blossom gardens in the world, the first fable sculpture garden in China, a paradise for birds and a forest of birds, and so on 100.

East Lake has a variety of customs all year round, and its beautiful natural scenery makes it bright in spring and fragrant with birds and flowers. In summer, thousands of people play in the lake, and the coastal scenery in the south is beautiful; Qiu Lai is full of maple leaves, sweet-scented osmanthus and thyme; In winter, thousands of migratory birds feed and sing on the lake.

In recent years, many new landscapes have been built in East Lake, such as Chufeng Garden, Yihai Beach Bath, hydrophilic platform, three new landscapes of East Lake, and Temple of Heaven in the suburb of Liu Bei. Among them, Yihai Beach Bath is the largest inland sea sand swimming pool in China. It has also improved the supporting infrastructure, service facilities and entertainment facilities in the scenic spot, and formed a perfect system of traveling, traveling, eating, living, entertainment and shopping in the scenic spot. While developing the Dadong Lake Scenic Area, Tingtao Water Entertainment Scenic Area, Moshan Chu Cultural Scenic Area, Wild Goose Ecological Leisure Scenic Area and the cultural landscape groups around the East Lake with regional characteristics have been formed.

2. East Lake in Shaoxing

East Lake is a famous scenic spot in Shaoxing, known as "the first bonsai in the world". It turned out to be Qingshishan. More than 2000 years ago, Qin Shihuang made a southern tour to Huiji (now Shaoxing), where he once fed horses, so the mountain here was called "Zhanshan" and the folk also called it "Ruoshan". At that time, there were many bluestones on the mountains here, and Shi Jian was hard and widely used. From the Han Dynasty, it became a quarry, and in the Sui Dynasty, it was mined on a larger scale. Over time, with the efforts of generations of quarrymen, such a large Qingshishan has been chiseled away by nearly half. Over time, in the quarry, the springs in the rocks gushed out, the rivers flooded, the lake turned into a lake, and the blue waves rippled in the lake. This is today's East Lake. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Tao Rui, a native of Huiji, announced that he had seen the wonders here and built a lake embankment to divide the lake and the river in two. Outside the dike is the East Zhejiang Canal, which runs through the east of Zhejiang. Inside the dike is the East Lake. Over the past 100 years, the East Lake has been decorated by many guests and has become a wonderful landscape bonsai.

East Lake has strange stones, strange stones and wonders; There are many deep pools in the East Lake. Tourists might as well go to Wu Peng naked by boat.

Bypass Bijia Mountain. Guo Moruo's poems are carved on the stone wall in front of us, which was written by Guo Moruo 1962 when he visited the East Lake. The poem reads: "You only occupied the East Lake, but you carved it by hand. A thousand feet stand on the wall, and the road is blocked. The big ship goes into the hole and sits in the well to watch the sky. Don't call the lake small, the sky is in it. " Row the boat into the Taogong Cave. The water in the cave is dark green. When you put your hand in the water, you will feel particularly cold. Looking up, a few drops of water will fly down in the air. Let's look at the sky at the top of the cave. It's really sitting on a well and watching the sky. Paddling is like high-five in a huge urn. The sound is wonderful.

There is a "Tingling Pavilion" in Taogong Cave. This is the favorite place of literati, where you can hear the sound of water drops rolling from cracks in the inner wall of the cave and falling into the pool. Along the plank road more than one meter, you can see that the cliffs on both sides are steep near the water. Climbing to the top of the mountain, the crowd of green tea in Zhuhai is like a paradise; Turn off the dragon again. Not in the four seasons. It is a long way to climb the mountain, villages are everywhere, buildings are criss-crossed, and the beautiful scenery of the water town is panoramic.

The boat passed Xia Chuan, and after drinking Qingting, Xiantao Cave was waiting. If the water here is a virgin, it will be lively in silence; The cave is like a stone house, unfathomable. The stone wall in the middle is thin and smooth with a peach-shaped hole. There are couplets beside the cave, which are intriguing: "The cave is 500 feet long, and the peach blossoms bloom for three thousand years." This couplet is exaggerated, but it makes people feel very interesting. There is a chair-like place in the opposite rock, which people call the immortal chair.

To the west of Xiantao Cave is "Guiling Mountain", which is said to be a ridge. In fact, it is not big, like an island, surrounded by rugged rocks, lakes and winding paths. There are golden laurel bushes on the Guilin. In the autumn season, you can smell the fragrance of osmanthus from a distance. There are also grotesque Sophora japonica flowers here.

It is essential to visit the East Lake by boat, but there is also some beauty in walking. Especially in the lake at night, after all kinds of lights are reflected, I suspect that I have strayed into the fairy mirror.

Go north from Guiling, walk past the thousand-year-old Qin Bridge, and you will know from the name of the bridge. To the east, you can savor the wonders of East Lake by strolling on the white jade embankment. Here, the scenery moves with the pace, looking at rocks with strange shapes, and some walls stand dozens of feet, which is fantastic; Some stand opposite each other, just like a stone gate; Some twists and turns, like caves. These are non-renewable works of art left by ancient quarrymen. There is a couplet at the entrance of East Lake: "This is on Yin Shan Road, like the head of Xizi Lake." Vividly describe the beauty of East Lake.

The East Lake Pottery House Memorial Room was built to commemorate Shaoxing Wen Sheng Pottery. Tao is from Shaoxing county. Sun Yat-sen, Tao Zhangcheng, Xu Xilin, Lu Xun and others have all visited East Lake or discussed important issues. After Tao's death, Shaoxing people built a "Taoshe" here as a memorial. 1965438+In June 2008, Dr. Sun Yat-sen made a special trip to the Taoshe to commemorate Tao, and took photos as a souvenir.

There were as many as 36 lakes named after the West Lake in ancient China, of which Hangzhou West Lake was the most famous. For example, it is simply called West Lake, which usually refers to West Lake in Hangzhou. West Lake is a world-famous scenic spot with a long history, numerous historical sites, beautiful scenery and pleasant scenery.

The West Lake is full of scenic spots. In addition to the "Ten Scenes of Qiantang" and "Eighteen Scenes of West Lake" in history, the most famous ones are the "Ten Scenes of West Lake" named in the Southern Song Dynasty and the "Ten Scenes of New West Lake" awarded by 1985. There are more than 40 major scenic spots and more than 30 key cultural relics and historic sites in the 60-square Axiom Garden scenic area centered on the West Lake. To sum up, the scenery of the West Lake is dominated by one lake, two peaks, three springs, four temples, five mountains, six gardens, seven caves, eight tombs, nine streams and ten views. 1982 West Lake was designated as a national scenic spot, and 1985 was named "Top Ten Scenic Spots in China".

The West Lake is a poem, a natural picture and a beautiful story. People who have lived here for many years, or travelers who pass by in a hurry, are fascinated by the beautiful scenery of a Chinese Odyssey. In the spring of March, Fei Ying grass begins to grow. The two dikes are plain white, and the peaches and willows sandwich the shore. There are waves and cruise ships on both sides, and empty mountains and green waters in the distance. Walking on the embankment at this time, you will be amazed at the scenery in front of you, even ecstatic, and wonder if you have entered the fairyland.

The beautiful scenery of the West Lake is not only unique in spring, but also meets the lotus flowers in the sky in summer, the moonlight-soaked Santan Yinyue in autumn night, the red plum in the shadow after the winter snow, and the willow cage screen window and the songbirds on the balcony in the misty rain-no matter when you come, you will appreciate the unusual style.

The Ten Scenes of the West Lake were formed in the Southern Song Dynasty, basically distributed around the West Lake, and some were located on the lake. Su Causeway Xiao Chun, Quyuan Fenghe, Pinghu Qiuyue, Broken Bridge Canxue, Liulang Wenying, Huagang Fish Watching, Leifeng Sunset, Twin Peaks Inserting Clouds, Nanping Evening Bell, Santan silver moon, and the Ten Scenes of the West Lake are all good at winning, which together can best represent the essence of the scenery of the ancient West Lake, so both Hangzhou locals and foreign tourists talk about it and visit it first.

They are: Yun Qi Bamboo Trail, Manlong Guiyu, Tiger Run, Longjing Tea, Jiuxi Tobacco Tree, Wushan Tianfeng, Soft Shield Huanbi, Huanglong, Jade Emperor Feiyun and Gem Liuxia.
