My wife is working in the hospital, the whole spring are busy in the high school medical examination, continuous work for more than a month without rest, every day hundreds of nearly a thousand people to check the workload, engaged in the physical and mental very tired, really want to take advantage of the vacation out of fresh air, relax a little bit, this time and out of the way. But the heart is really not willing, so everywhere to ask where you can go, and finally found a newly developed plains lake park, more than 20 kilometers from home, also belongs to the jurisdiction of Xinxiang City area, we have not been there.
May 1 morning a little more than nine o'clock, the two of us and the mother-in-law three people drove out, the road is very smooth, along the straight plains road has been driving east to the head that is, but twenty kilometers but also drove an hour. I thought this is so far from the city there will not be too many people to go, who knows that actually can not find a parking space, all parking lots are full, around the park around, it is difficult to find a place on the side of the road to stop the car. The weather is very good, the blue sky has a few white clouds in the swim, the breeze is warm, the sun is bright, shine in the body is warm and comfortable.
It looks like the plains of the lake area is quite large, we parked in the location of the park's south gate, should be considered the main gate of the park. In the center of the square, there are five modern-style gates to the lakeside viewing platform, and on one side of the gate, there is a picture of the Yellow River Road on the column surface, which shows that Plain Lake is located on the Yellow River Road in Yanjin County.
The plains lake by the plains road will be divided into two lakes north and south of the lake, now the plains lake park was built in the south lake, covers an area of 1185 acres, the lake is through the Dasha River to bring the Yellow River water, surrounded by loess sand on the lush, planted a variety of flowers and trees have been green, the lakeshore willows cover, the lake repair a footpath, along the lake, there are many observation level platforms, bridge porch pavilion pavilions, the lake there is a small island, just a tourists are unable to go up. Tourists are unable to go up, I think there will be a bird paradise.
Into May, the spring is also left a tail, many of the seasonal flowers are open, along the lakeshore on a piece of peach blossom, begonias, plum blossom forests, the trees are full of green fruit, and roses, moonflower, sea buckthorn flowers, red flowers, edelweiss, mallow flowers, but the flowers, branches, soft and flowery. The irises in our yard are already in bloom, but the irises here are in full bloom, and the large iris flowers are like a flock of fluttering birds, making a blue sea of flowers under the dazzling sunlight.
We walked along the trail around the lake, the park area is quite large, even if there are many visitors, spread out the people will be sparse. The sunshine of the lake is like a large and emerald glass, clear water on the lake glittering with variegated light and shadow, we walk very slowly, walk and stop to see, I found that most of the visitors in the park are not from Xinxiang City, listen to the accent should be Yanjin locals, in the park specifically opened up the camping area, they set up tents, tied to hammocks, set up a pergola, or laying sheets, or set up a table and stools, bring the Food set full, people unrestrained in the embrace of nature, drink, enjoy, and have a good time.
Xinxiang is a small city in the north, located in the Yellow River alluvial plain, north of the Taihang Mountains, south of the Yellow River, under the jurisdiction of four districts and eight counties, with a population of more than six million two hundred thousand. Xinxiang city a *** there are four rivers passing through, a Wei River through the city, the city also has a Meng Jiangnian River, in the north of the city there is a *** productivist canal, which is parallel to the Wei River, mainly used for flood season flood control and flood prevention. In the south of the city there is a People's Victory Canal, which is a yellow diversion self-flowing irrigation canal that draws water from the Yellow River to the Wei River in Xinxiang for irrigation, flood control and drainage, and these two man-made canals merge into the Wei River again after flowing through Xinxiang.
In the past, Xinxiang used to be a place of serious flooding, with heavy floods every year, and the floods overflowing the river during the flood season were very scary. Our factory every year to send people on the riverbank flood rescue, to the winter and to send people down to the river dredging river, or on the middle school when the school will also let the students to participate in the winter dredging river. Xinxiang under the jurisdiction of the original Yang, Fengqiu, Yanjin three counties is the famous yellow floodplain, the history of the Yellow River in three years, two breaks, a hundred years of a reroute, leaving many of the Yellow River channel, the famous movie "1942" is taken from Yanjin. In the past, the original Yanfeng three counties is poor famous, I remember I have a neighbor, he is in Yanjin County inserted into the settlement of the youth, then their village a labor day only five cents, do a day's work is only enough to buy half a catty of corn, simply do not eat enough food.
It is said that the wind and water are rotating, the rain of nature will also rotate. In the past, Xinxiang water resources are still quite rich, in the early years of Wei river volume is not small, shipping developed, there are small fireboats can be directly to Tianjin. Outside the city, there are many big puddles, lotus root in the water, residents wash their clothes and vegetables, children swim and play in the water, like a water town. At that time, the groundwater was also very shallow, the water in the well with a flat stretcher hooked to a bucket, a shake can be filled with a bucket of water. I do not know from which year, Xinxiang's water is getting less and less, so that many years later there is no flood season, Weihe River no water source has become almost stagnant, Mengjiawu River into a drainage ditch, those large puddles one by one are dried up and filled in the house built in the north and south of the city of the two man-made canals is almost wasted.
The city and the river are always together, in ancient times, there is a river to solve the problem of water and transportation, so the river is like a city's mother. In recent years, Xinxiang City, in order to rebuild the water system, carefully designed, long-term planning, unified layout, revitalization of the use of limited water resources, through the ecological construction of the water system, to create a livable Xinxiang. Xinxiang originally there is no lake, generally have a water place are called the pit, where called lake place are new excavation construction. I heard that Xinxiang water system planning will build eight lakes, and connected by the river and ditch, plains lake is just one of the eight lakes in Xinxiang, perhaps in a few years Xinxiang will be like Jiangnan, the whole city rivers and lakes, full of red flowers and green water.
