"Microblogging," "WeChat," "microclasses," "microfilms" and so on have penetrated our lives, but "microcity" is the first time I've come across it. The society is developing so fast, now it is the "micro era".
What is a "microcity"?
In 2008, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development (MOHUD) put forward the development concept of "integration of industry and city" and "work-life balance" to solve the problem of coordinating urban living and working within a 10-minute walk.
With the development of smart cities in China, the Ministry of Housing and Construction has sought to develop innovative models to rationalize the distribution of urban spatial resources.
In 2013, the Ministry of Housing and Construction proposed a pilot project for the construction of a microcity in China, drawing on the findings of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), which has been a successful example of urban planning and development.
"Micro-city" is a comprehensive innovation and upgrade of the smart city, which advocates people-oriented, human-oriented modern urban development sentiment, which emphasizes the sustainable development of the city and the transformation needs of the city, based on the actual construction of the city, the integration of existing resources, is a new model of urban development in line with the national concept of a new type of towns and cities, "micro-city" with a 10-minute walking distance (i.e., 1 kilometer) as a radius, covering 3 ~ 4 square kilometers, in the micro-city, the city will be a new model of urban development. ~4 square kilometers, within the micro-city strive to achieve 80% of the people live and work nearby.
"Micro-city" realizes the organic integration of various functional spaces in the city through the establishment of a balanced development system of green mobility, functional composite and spatial intensification, and the composite integration of functions such as residence, employment, transportation, culture, recreation and commerce in the micro-city by means of intelligent means to enable residents to experience one-stop services for work, life, recreation and consumption, and to form the flow of people, logistics, information, transportation and capital, as well as the flow of urban functions such as human, logistics, information and capital, etc. The micro-city will also be able to provide the residents with the best services, traffic flow, capital flow and other urban functions of the micro-circulation.
So, under such a design concept, in May 2014, Chengnan New District and the Ministry of Housing and Construction of China Urban Science Research Institute and other departments, in Yancheng officially signed a contract, *** with the promotion of "micro-city" pilot. As a result, Chengnan New District officially launched the first domestic "micro-city" pilot construction.
City South New District "micro city" pilot, the planning layout for the "big two small"." A large", that is, the Polygon Lake micro-city." Two small", that is, the new Dragon Square and Wisdom Valley micro-city.
Julong Lake is the location of Yancheng administrative center, cultural center and commercial center, with a beautiful ecological environment, gathering high-end business offices, leisure and entertainment, living and high-quality infrastructure and public **** resources, forming a strong Julong Lake core circle effect.
In the 4 square kilometers around the Julong Lake to create a "micro-city" development model, to create a national "micro-city" development model, for the national city to achieve sustainable development to provide exchanges and reference. The New Dragon Plaza E-commerce Industrial Park and Wisdom Valley is an important carrier for the development of wisdom industry in Yancheng, bringing together the major wisdom industry projects in large urban areas, and the "two small" micro-city projects are being carried out in tandem.
In this golden fall season, I walked into the Julong Lake micro-city.
The discovery of Julong Lake Micro City was by chance. On the way to the Yancheng Museum, I met a family of three who were on vacation, and talked to them and learned that the night view of Julong Lake was very beautiful, and they often went there. The "Julong Lake" has left a mark on my mind.
Walking on the road in the new area of the south of Yancheng City, feeling the fresh new. Camphor, Luan is the main street tree. Luan's fruit falls with the wind, scattered in the sidewalk next to the lawn, like a butterfly fluttering to the meadow. Luan here than the north of the color of the luan is fresher, brighter, as if just washed. Yancheng is far from the coastline, but the air is still filled with the flavor of the sea, salty with fresh, is the wind blowing. I like this flavor, it evokes my memory.
Another characteristic vegetation of Yancheng is the cattail. The first time I saw it was in the square green space in front of the municipal government, a cluster of cattail reed storage in the center of the grass, the branches of the white flakes swaying in the wind.
"Reed reed,
white dew for frost,
there is a person,
in the water side."
This image is reproduced in front of the Third People's Hospital of Yancheng City and in Julong Lake Park. It seems that cattails are a specialty of Yancheng.
The Third People's Hospital of Yancheng City is a hospital affiliated with Southeast University, located in the northwest corner of Xindu Road and Jiefang South Road, and the brand-new outpatient building has many floor-to-ceiling glass windows that are flooded with glittering light. The clump of cattails stands in front of the hospital, its flakes fluttering in the wind, seemingly soothing the anxious hearts of those who visit the hospital. Occasionally, people walk out of the hospital. I can't help but want to take a look. The outpatient hall on the first floor is smooth and bright, and there are not many people at the registration and payment offices, unlike the hospitals in Xi'an, which are crowded with people. When I asked the staff at the information desk, they told me that it was now a holiday, so there were fewer people, and even on weekdays, there were not too many people. Indeed, this is the right density for the doctors to be able to treat their patients carefully.
From the hospital, I saw a European-style two-story building across the street, the whole building is beige, the top of the main building has a round dome, in front of the 18th century sculpture. On both sides of the main building is a secondary building, there are steps leading to the building, the building in front of a wide field parked a few cars, from a distance like a palace, get closer to see, the original is Bihuari Manor, an elegant and luxurious hotel. The hotel's lawn is as flat as a carpet, green grass, come to this hotel to stay, there is a feeling of aristocracy.
Bypassing the hotel to Jiefang South Road, Yancheng City Museum is nearby. Golden Eagle Shopping Center is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Jiefang South Road and Xindu. It is the main shopping mall in the new area of the south of the city, with a supermarket and food on the first floor. 1~6 floors are shopping malls. There is also a Golden Eagle Shopping Center in Yancheng's old town, which is a bit bigger than this one.
Behind the Golden Eagle Shopping Center is the Julong Lake Park, and the sidewalk around the park is a brand-new plastic track, which feels great on your feet.
The river flows around the park, the river side of the willow thick, looks like a lot of years, willow in the wind floating, like a beautiful woman's long hair.
The surface of the river is covered with water plants, although extremely dense, but not at all the unpleasant smell of the water Hua, the water is also extremely clear. This scene reminds me of Xu Zhimo's "Farewell to Kangqiao"
......
The green floating heart on the soft mud,
oily beckons at the bottom of the water;
In the soft waves of the Kanghe River
I'm willing to be a piece of water grass!
The pool under the shade of the elm,
is not a clear spring, but a rainbow in the sky
Kneaded between the floating algae
Precipitated with rainbow-like dreams.
......
The water plants in this small river are as waving as those in the Kang River. The willow on the bank, the grass under the water, how can this be so luxuriant?
Yancheng has many such a small river, I do not know its name, it should be a tributary of the Crosstown River. The new municipal government is also surrounded by small rivers, like the waist of the jade belt. I have seen some of the ancient official residence, castle, the layout of the courtyard, there is often a clear river flowing slowly, which is said to be a good feng shui layout. The view is beautiful, the water is fat, everything is moving, naturally good feng shui.
Walking across the bridge, entering the Julong Lake Park. This is an open park with a small river separating it from the market. There are one or two teahouses along the winding path, leaning against the wall with bamboo sticking out. The main body of the park is the Julong Lake, with trestle bridges stretching in a roundabout way from one shore of the lake to the other. The surface of the lake is rippling. A small wooden boat docked at the shore, the boat loaded surface from the lake fished up water plants, black algae, goldfish algae ...... these are the students to do the observation of chloroplast experiments excellent material, really want to take some back.
Looking at Jurong Lake, surrounded by modern buildings of various shapes as far as the eye can see. Radio and television tower like a rocket to be launched pointing to the blue sky, which is the landmark of Yancheng. The gray-blue shell, shining brightly, seems to have absorbed the light of the sky.
Yancheng City Song and Dance Theater and the TV tower next to each other, like a large cylindrical crown, the windows on each floor are arranged in a checkerboard grid, like the pattern on the crown.
Yancheng Science and Technology Museum in the north of Julong Lake, Xindu Road from the museum through the front, the museum is cylindrical, hidden in a thicket of green.
Yancheng Yandu Taxation Bureau is also in the neighborhood, and its architectural shape is also beautifully geometric.
The east side of Julong Lake is lined with newly built commercial and residential buildings, with beige-colored skyscrapers. The European-style street is close to the development.
Standing on the trestle bridge in the lake, you can see the Golden Eagle Shopping Center, TV Tower, Opera House, Taxation Bureau, Science and Technology Museum, commercial and residential buildings ...... These modern buildings seem to be floating in the waves of the water, their reflections fall in the water, there is a feeling of being in a modern Venice.
There are some launching points for fountains in the lake, and they release beautiful water mist after nightfall. I heard that the night view of the Julong Lake is even more beautiful and alluring, so I must come to see it on my next visit.
Walking across the trestle bridge to the lakeside, the wide lotus leaves in the water staggered stand, some of the lotus leaves have been gradually yellow, calamus and other plants from the surrounding wetlands grow, walk into the wetlands of the lake, feel the transition between land and water, see the vegetation from aquatic to terrestrial changes, the lakeside willows swaying, from the green of this piece of the distant high-rise buildings, the building is then caged by this green.
Walking on the path around the lake, the weeping willows, from time to time will meet some small flowers. I saw the golden chrysanthemum again, a distant picture appeared in front of my eyes. In my college days, the Bakuan Mountain on the campus was full of golden chicken chrysanthemums, which had a long flowering period, from late spring to late fall, the yellow flowers were uninterrupted. The girls in our dormitory often picked them and inserted them into bottles or wove them into garlands and hung them above our beds. Every time I see a golden pheasant chrysanthemum, I seem to see Van, wearing a white blouse and a green strappy skirt, long flowing hair lightly dancing and flying, from the depths of the flower path to me, youthful laughter spread in this sea of flowers ...... Van is now far away from Singapore, the other girls of 119 are also in the world and all over the country, and I'm in Yancheng at the moment, remembering the eight Guan mountains on the The first thing that comes to mind is the 119 girls ...... Indeed, human consciousness is able to travel through the tunnel of time and space, we can see the people we want to see, see our favorite scenes and things ......
The sound of Pavarotti's song came from outside the lake, and following the sound, I walked out of the park. During the National Day, this is the most lively place in the new area south of the city.
The European-style street is the newest attraction in Yancheng City, with a small river running through it, which is also a tributary of the Shuangchang River. The fences along the river are covered with pink Du Juan flower bonsai, and a few small boats are moored on the clear river, with fountains shooting out from under the water's surface and overflowing in all directions around the area, as if the flowers are blooming underwater, and the fragrance of the flowers and the shadows of the flowers are flowing in the winding river.......
Before a bar, the singers playing guitars are attracting the tourists, and the foreign tourists are having their pictures taken with the singers, and they are immersed in the joyful melody. They are immersed in the cheerful melody. The black tourists are robust and confident, their heads full of dreadlocks bouncing to the music. I don't know where they came from, but the flavor of the place made them new and happy, and that happiness rippled into the marketplace. ......
The next morning, in the drizzle, I went to Yandu Park, a small, densely vegetated area with a river running through the center of the park, and the shadows of the surrounding brand-new residential high-rises were projected on the surface of the river. On the plastic path, there were occasional morning walkers running past, everything was fresh and quiet. The park is also covered by WiFi. Through the Yandu Park, opposite to the Yancheng Botanical Garden, along the plastic path, there is a pond in the depths, with lotus leaves standing on the side of the pond, and other water-supporting plants clinging to the banks of the pond. Compared with the botanical gardens in other cities, it still needs to be developed. The garden is surrounded by residential high-rises, and residents come here for a walk in just a few minutes.
I walked in the Julong Lake "micro-city", visited the Yancheng Museum, observed the Yancheng City Third People's Hospital, shopping centers, played Julong Lake Park, strolling in the European style street, the rain in the Botanical Garden stroll ...... experience the "micro-city" life. Indeed, "micro-city" people, work, shopping, living, leisure, culture, entertainment in a tiny range, compact but not blocked, BRT, buses, bicycles, orderly shuttle, people, logistics, information flow in the cycle. Microcirculation is the root of the big cycle, and each city's root is animated, which is a vivid city. Ancient Yancheng, through the changes of the times, and now into the "micro-city" era, I believe it will become more and more vibrant!
