Hun River Park, is based on the banks of the Hun River, the entire length of 32 kilometers of waterfront and built a ribbon park.
One of yesterday's Hun River
Talking about Hun River Park, you can't talk about the Hun River first.
The Hun River is known as Shenshui, also known as the small Liaohe. Historically, it used to be the largest tributary of the Liao River, and also the richest inland river in Liaoning Province.
The Hun River originates from Rolling Horse Ridge in Qingyuan County, Fushun City, Liaoning Province, and flows through the cities of Fushun, Shenyang and Anshan, with a total length of 415 kilometers, and incorporates into the Taizi River near Guchengzi in Panshan County, where it merges into the Daliao River.
And the Hun River Park, which I'm going to introduce, is a 32-kilometer-long section that flows through downtown Shenyang.
There are two ancient legends surrounding the Hun River:
One is the origin of the "Rolling Horse Ridge". Rolling Horse Ridge's scenery is fresh and pleasant, all the way to find, there are often forests hear the sound of water, clear springs flowing from the stone, water into a pond, forest frogs often set, koi carp swimming, blue waves, like a beautiful natural picture.
Legend has it that Xue Rengui, a great general of the Tang Dynasty, passed by here and rolled his horse because of the scenery in front of him, and "Rolling Horse Ridge" got its name from this.
Long hate spring return to nowhere, do not know turn into this, when you are tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, when you see through the life of the flamboyant, you can choose to the source of the Hun River, a forest tour, it will allow you to find a lot of original belong to your own natural things.
The other is the source of the name "Hun River".
Toward the end of the Ming Dynasty, general Li Chengliang led an attack on Nurhachi, who had just made himself king. Nurhachu was anxious to get the report, he was only a few tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, how to resist the 200,000 Ming army.
Nurhachu and the military adviser to discuss the retreat plan, that the battle can only be taken wisely, not hard.
One day, Nurhachu came to the river, looking at the river, listening to the rapids and whirlpools make the sound of rushing water, he had a plan.
So he ordered, ordered tens of thousands of army horses all down the river, while letting the horses drink water while driving the horses to run up and down in the river.
At the same time, he also ordered the whole army to mobilize the people along the river to carry all their horse dung into the river. In a few moments, the crystal clear river was stirred up to the sand, muddy water, both horse dung and horse urine, became a veritable muddy river.
General Li Chengliang line to the river bank, but see the river water is muddy, and horse urine and horse manure, as if there are thousands of horses have just traveled through the same. He was afraid of being surrounded by Nurhachu and ordered to withdraw with a gloomy face!
In a moment, in a burst of stormy soil Yang dust, 200,000 troops fled the river.
Nurhachu learned of this news, the sky long whistling: "We muddy the river, but also can scare away the Ming army, this credit to the "muddy river" also.
Two, now the Hun River
This was once a clear river, in 2000 before it is indeed a real "muddy river", in Shenyang, there are 37 sewage outfalls, then the Hun River water quality, turbid, no wait to get close, you can smell the fishy smell of the river.
In 2001, the Liaoning Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau, the development of urban sewage treatment and utilization planning, shut down all outfalls. The first demonstration project using artificial wetland technology for ecological sewage treatment was built in the eastern part of Shenyang city, improving the ecological environment along the coast, and so far, there have been twelve sewage treatment plants like this one.
The banks of the 32-kilometer-long urban section of the Hun River have been built into a sightseeing and tourism belt integrating nature, leisure, recreation and flood control.
Constructed a pleasant modern riverfront landscape, bringing the Hun River closer to the city life, with the center of gravity of Shenyang city to the south, both sides of the Hun River will be like the Bund in Shanghai, presenting a bustling, colorful cityscape, and become the business card of Shenyang.
