There is such a city, her sinews are mountains, her soul is a spring, her bright eyes and style is a lake, and her blood is a river.
I have never heard of a city that has the greatness of the mountains, the spirit of the springs, the quiet beauty of the lake and the river's rough and bold. She is the beautiful spring city of Jinan.
The name of the mountain is Thousand Buddha Mountain, which is one of the three major scenic spots in Jinan.
Thousand Buddha Mountain is known as "Lishan", also known as "Shun Mountain" or "Shun Keng Mountain", which is the remaining vein of Taishan Mountain, and is said to have been ploughed under Lishan in the ancient times when Emperor Yu Shun was a citizen. Thousand Buddha Mountain is also the birthplace of Shun culture. According to historical records, during the Sui Dynasty, Buddhism was prevalent in Shandong Province, and many stone Buddhas were engraved along the wall of the mountain by devout believers, which gave the mountain the name of Thousand Buddha Mountain.
Standing on the top of Thousand Buddha Mountain, you can see the water surface of Daming Lake like a mirror, which is solemn and quiet; see the Yellow River meandering like a belt from afar, and its water flows eastward into the sea; and overlooking the bottom of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful Quanzhou City.
In the city of springs, the most praiseworthy, of course, is the spring.
The springs of the city are found all over the city, in the parks, in the alleyways, and even outside the walls of the homes, under the window sills, there are springs bubbling. Otherwise, there would be no "family springs, household poplar" said. The spring city of spring, more than can not be described.
The most famous is Baotu, Black Tiger Spring and Five Dragon Pool three groups of springs, as well as pearl springs, Maundyum Spring, Wangfu Pond and other seventy-two springs. At the head of the seventy-two springs, of course, is more than 2,700 years of history, known as "the world's first spring" Baotu.
Baotu is located in the south of Thousand Buddha Mountain, east of Quan Cheng Square, north of Daming Lake, Five Dragon Pool. Baotu around, gathered in the Golden Thread Spring, Shujuquan, Bowl Spring, Willow Spring, Huanghua Spring, Dukang Spring, White Dragon Spring and other more than thirty famous springs, which with the "world's first spring" Baotu, *** with the Baotu Springs constitute the Baotu Springs Group. Baotu Park, Lok Yuen Hall, Guanlan Pavilion, Shangzhi Hall, Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall, Li Kuchan Memorial Hall and other buildings with distinctive features, and gushing springs, colorful flowers and trees, green willow and bamboo together, composed of a spring-based national 5A tourist attractions featured garden park.
Baotu water in all seasons of constant temperature, whether in the heat of summer or in the snowy winter, the spring water is about 18 degrees Celsius. In the winter dripping into ice, the spring pool above the water vapor curls, such as a thin layer of smoke, shrouded in the sparkling water, like a fairyland. The north side of the spring pool, first built in the Song Dynasty on the pillars of the Hall of Lok Yuen, hanging on the famous painter Zhao Mengfu's couplet in the Yuan Dynasty, "clouds and mist Run Steam Huabuzhu, the sound of the waves shook the Daming Lake," is a true portrayal of the beauty of the scene.
Baotu, not only to see the springs, enjoy the springs, tasting the springs is also essential content.
Baotu water is widely praised for its clear and transparent, sweet and mellow. Legend has it that when Emperor Qianlong went south, out of Beijing with the Beijing Jade Spring water, to Jinan, tasted the Baotu water, it will immediately take the drinking water into the Baotu water, and seal the Baotu as "the world's first spring". Nowadays, the Baotu water has become the drinking water of ordinary citizens in the neighborhood. If you visit Baotu Spring and not taste the spring water, it will certainly leave a great deal of regret. Between the tour, three or five friends to meet and sit, a pot of spring water, a cup of tea, to see pieces of green tea in the extremely clear and transparent spring water dancing happily, listening to Baotu singing, watching green willow and red flowers. Heart then quiet down, even breathing has become calm, once all the troubles and unhappiness, with the curling tea, with everything in front of you, drifting to an unknown place.
The name of the lake is called Daming Lake, with Baotu, Thousand Buddha Mountain and called the three major attractions in Jinan.
Daming Lake, known as the Pearl of Quancheng, is honored by the Chinese World Records Association, "China's first spring water lake," the title of the natural lake. The water in Daming Lake is living water, spring water.
Daming Lake has a long history, has been in writing for more than 1,400 years, the lake from the Baotu, Pearl Spring, Maundy Spring, Wang Fu Chi and other springs, "the springs convergence" said. In the busy city, there is this long history and pavilions, platforms, buildings, pavilions, all natural lakes, it is rare. And the lake water all gathered by the spring, is even rarer. At first, the Daming Lake within the wall was a "lake in a garden". After the expansion, Daming Lake from the "garden lake" into a "city lake", and with the moat "lake river navigation.
"Constant rain does not rise, drought does not dry up", the water level is constant throughout the year, this is the Daming Lake. Stroll along the lake shore, a variety of beautiful scenery to dazzle people. Shore, willow, singing and dancing; on the water, lotus leaves green, lotus bloom; in the lake, all kinds of fish or stretching their tails comfortably swim around, sometimes leaping out of the water, to the calm lake to add a small episode; on the boat, intoxicated in the beautiful scenery of the passengers, but also drunken swimmers.
"Lotus flowers on all sides, willows on three sides, a city of mountains and half a city lake", Daming Lake, this bright pearl of Quancheng, with Quancheng's spring, river, mountain together, is the Creator to the people who grew up in the land, an invaluable and unavailable treasure.
The river that gives nourishment to the city is the Yellow River, the mother river of the Chinese nation.
The Yellow River all the way here, has become more heavy, but also more peaceful, as living in this land of her sons and daughters. The Yellow River from the northern part of the city meanders through the high embankment, tree-lined beaches, the Yellow River ecological landscape in the beginning of the scale of the landscape belt, becoming more and more citizens to play a good place to go. With the accelerated pace of the provincial capital "north span", and the new and old energy conversion zone, construction, a rainbow across the north and south, an underground tunnel through the river. The endless flow of the mother river has become the city's city river.
Living in a city where mountains, springs, lakes and rivers **** exist is bliss. Thoughts and state of mind, with the different scenery and free conversion: or spring water as pure, dynamic and full of vitality; or mountain as calm, handsome and bear; or lake as quiet, soft, warm and tolerant; or river as atmospheric bold, enthusiastic, enterprising and enlightened.
"How many springs are there, ask the eyes of the Jinan people. Wish to hear the character of Jinan people, you go to ask the spring." A side of the soil and water to nurture a side of people, the beautiful historical and cultural city of Springs, with its unique natural landscape and inherent charm, nurtured and created generation after generation of Jinan people. Pure thick, calm, enlightened and tolerant of the spring city of Jinan people, speech and demeanor, permeated by the indelible nature of the spring city.
