Essay about Clam River Park
Speaking of Clam River Park, we should start with the predecessor of Clam River Park - Lixiang Garden. Perhaps it should be earlier, starting with the natural history of this land. Let’s talk about the park temperament it brings.
The representative rivers in Laiyang are Qingshui River, Fushui River, Clam River, Bailong River and Black Water River. These five rivers have the reputation and legend of the Five Dragons. Among them, the Clam River that runs through the eastern part of the city has brought many beautiful things to the city since ancient times. There are many residential areas distributed on both sides of the river. Many people live and work along the river, forming a densely populated and prosperous area along the river bank.
There is a pear orchard in Hedong, which is an old pear orchard passed down from generation to generation. It belongs to the alluvial plain of the Clam River and has excellent soil quality. Many pear trees that are hundreds of years old grow here. They have entangled roots and branches, expressing ancient vicissitudes. The splendid flowers in spring and the abundant pear fruits in autumn represent the exuberance of life. And the willows forming a stream by the river, with long sleeves dancing and various styles, complementing the spring snow in the pear garden, it is a beautiful April day.
This kind of riverside scenery has been intoxicating since ancient times, and it has become a beautiful place for people to go out and enjoy flowers. It has also left behind the aria "Thousands of pear blossoms, thousands of snow, a stream of willows and a stream of smoke".
The scenic pear garden, the water of the Clam River, and the gathering of citizens are all gathered here. It is true that "it is hard to give up on natural beauty." In 1985, the planning and construction of Lixiang Garden, which meets the needs of the people of Lixiang for a better life, began. 1985 became the first historical year of the "Lixiang Garden" in Laiyang Park.
The Lixiang Garden, with pear trees as the main part of the scenery, is a comprehensive tourist attraction that fully embodies the local characteristics of Laiyang. The park has children's entertainment area, sports entertainment area, water sports area, animal exhibition area, plant landscape area, flower nursery area, and garden management area. The park covers an area of ??50.5 hectares and 25 hectares of water surface. There are two magnificent gates in the north and south.
