Now the old bridge is the main bridge between the old and new city, while the new bridge is the main bridge between the north and south, at that time, the new bridge or the former governor Lu Ruihua personally cut the ribbon. However, in order to speed up the pace of development, Qingyuan City will open the Beijiang Third Bridge, look at your right hand side, there is the construction site of the Beijiang Third Bridge! The following this is the mother river of Qingyuan - Beijiang, it is one of the three major rivers of the Pearl River, (Dongjiang, Xijiang, Beijiang) originated in Xinfeng County, Jiangxi Province, the entire province of 586 kilometers, is the Guangdong Province, the amount of hydroelectric power development and the amount of reserves of the crown. Riverside is a total length of 3800 meters of the Lover's Road Riverside Park, is the Qingyuan Municipal Government in three phases, with a total investment of more than 40 million for the people of Qingyuan City, the construction of a fully open-air park, but also the people of Qingyuan City, one of the most favorite people's projects. Here, the elderly can take a walk, dancing, children, kite flying, play games, and couples can sunbathe in the moonlight here, get the turf. Riverside Park has a number of plazas, the two largest, the main square every night at eight o'clock, began to play ballroom dance music, those, there are many elderly people gathered there, a show of dance masters. You see, there is a sculpture is the main square, the sculpture is known as the "mother of the North River", the metaphor, the North River is the embrace of Qingyuan, nursing the people of Qingyuan's great mother, and another larger square it is young people and the paradise of the provincial migrant workers, to the night, to come here "popping", to spend their youthful energy. On this side of the river is the old city center, the place where many boats are parked is called the three wharves, do you know what Qingyuan is also called? It's Phoenix City! Do you know why it's called Phoenix? No, it has nothing to do with the chicken in Qingyuan, it's called Fengcheng because the map of Qingyuan looks like a phoenix from above, so it's called Fengcheng, and the three wharves are the location of the phoenix head. There is a very beautiful legend here, it is said that in the past, in the present Qingyuan City, near the Workers' Cultural Palace, where a tall wutong tree grows, on the tree inhabits a nest of phoenixes, and under the tree, lived a young man named Zhang Yi, his parents died when he was a child, and he relied on a small sampan for a living. One year, the Beijiang River flooded. I wonder if you've heard of the slang term "Beijiang Water"? Nanxiong, Shaoguan, Shaoguan, Yingde, Qingyuan, "No Ingot Drops" (meaning no place to run in Qingyuan) The North River flooded Qingyuan, and Zhang Yi, with his small sampan, went around to save those who were struggling in the water, saving one group after another, and when he passed by his house, he realized that there was a squeaking sound coming from a paulownia tree, and the water was about to reach the top of the tree. Almost up to the top of the tree, and the two big phoenix fly out to find food, because the phoenix is not the wutong not perch, not the treasure not fall, not the spring not drink, not new teeth do not eat, so you have to fly a long way to find food, I do not know that flooding has occurred here, and the nest of small phoenix wings have not even grown out, look to be submerged in the water, Zhang Yi see, jumped into the water, swam to the center of the tree to the small phoenix nest held out to the boat, but I do not have to do it, but I have to do it, but I have to do it. Boat, but since how can not get on the boat, because the old tree grew a lot of parasitic vines, Zhang Yi's feet entangled, how can not struggle out, had to let the boat floated away, he slowly drowned in the water, and here, the mother phoenix came back to see this touching scene, think that people can be saved a nest of small phoenix and risk their lives, feel very touched to see the people who are still struggling in the water, then She crouched on the surface of the water and let those who fell into the water step on her phoenix's back to escape. Because of physical exhaustion, and finally sacrificed, and finally turned into this small city, so Qingyuan looks like a phoenix, the three wharves is the head of the phoenix, was originally curved, but now the construction of the berm to make it flat. On the bottom of the outline is the wings of the phoenix of Qingyuan, and the back of the phoenix is the location of the New Century Plaza, (the old District Office) the tail of the phoenix, has been extended from the Songgang Road to the North Rack Mountain, and in the phoenix sacrificed at the place, we call it up phoenix (is the hope that the phoenix once again up the meaning of the phoenix), so Qingyuan will be called the phoenix city. Do you know that Guangdong a **** is two Fengcheng, in addition to Qingyuan, Shunde Daliang also known as Fengcheng, why? It is said that the male phoenix of Qingyuan back, see their wives sacrificed, very sad, with a small phoenix flew away from this piece of sadness, a flight to Shunde, so Guangdong Province has two Phoenix City, we are the mother of the Phoenix City, Shunde, is a male Phoenix City.
