Egret is the city bird of Xiamen, which came to this island earlier than human beings. When Xiamen people boarded this desert island in the early days, they saw flocks of egrets floating on the water, hence the name "Egret Island". In Xiamen, there are many streets and shops in the name of "Heron". Light heron has become a good wish of Xiamen people.
The most famous park is the Egret Statue, which is now a landmark in Xiamen. The egret statue is located in the East Garden. On the boulder, there is a woman with long hair and a good face. She knelt by the lake and washed her hair with water. An egret perched on her shoulder. The woman looked back at the egret and smiled.
It symbolizes the upbringing and life of women, the egret symbolizes beauty, and the whole statue gives people a sense of harmony and peace. I think Xiamen will be as full of vigor and vitality as this statue.
Bailuzhou Park is located in Tik Tok Lake. The word "want to be" is pronounced as "yndng", which means bamboo growing by the water. The crumbling lake was originally connected with the sea. In 1970s, in order to reclaim land from the sea, the west dike from the floating island to Du Dong was built. Since then, Yaodang Lake has become an inner lake, named Bailuzhou.
_ _ Lake is extremely clear, with a water area of 1.7 square kilometers. On a sunny day, the lake is golden, without a ripple. The whole lake is like a gem worth millions, emitting suffocating blue. Isn't blue the representative color of Xiamen? Romantic, quiet and full of vitality, Xiamen, once a remote and deserted island, is now a world-famous tourist city, which has already completed its transformation.
Bailuzhou Park is divided into two parts by the road. Dongyuan is a music fountain square, next to which is a green and tall greenway. Well-built gardens make people wonder whether they come from abroad.
Whenever night falls, the music fountain begins to perform. Gorgeous lights and dancing springs have attracted many people to watch and become a landscape in Xiamen. Once upon a time, the night view of Yaodang Lake was also beautiful. One moonlit night, full of fishing boats came back to Hong Kong to queue up for landing. A boat of Yi Deng was reflected in the water, swaying and drifting, shining with gravel. It was a "dark night".
After the completion of the west levee, the fishing fire disappeared, and the once bright night became a touch of warmth in people's memory.
The West Garden is bigger, with egret statue and pigeon square as the center, free and open, and elegant environment. Egret statue is13.6m high. After many tourists arrive in Xiamen, they will make a special trip to take photos with the goddess and then go to Xiamen.
Pigeon Square is a must. Feeding pigeons has become a famous experience in Xiamen. This batch of pigeons was introduced from Holland, with a total of 400 pigeons. They are bold and not afraid of people at all. Many tourists come to feed them every day. They will jump on you and eat the food in your hand with their mouths.
On that day, many parents took their children, and the children staggered to the pigeons, but the pigeons did not panic and quietly held food on the grass. This painting is very beautiful. The harmony between children and pigeons represents the harmony between man and nature, which is beautiful and warm. Isn't that what the egret goddess wants to express?
There are many scenic spots in the park, including mother and son statues, cultural relics museums and the whole Bailuzhou, which is a microcosm of Xiamen for hundreds of years. It has a long history, culture and, of course, a brilliant future.
Flowers are blooming, the grass is green, bees and butterflies are flying, birds are flying, and the environment of Bailuzhou Park is also first-class. If you go to Xiamen, don't forget this free park. Take a walk, have a look and learn more about this beautiful "Heron City".
