Jinan, it began to rain.
The next day, the rain stopped, day or shade, not hot. That day on the weekend, I think this is heaven-sent opportunity for us to play ring suburbs of Jinan. We have no polite a ranked list of wins, after an argument and eventually locked in the Laiwu Kowloon Grand Canyon. Because there are said to be cool, summer is a good place. This simple reason so that we abandoned Qufu, Taishan, such as N Weishanhu places.
The viability of suburban travel in Jinan underestimate us much to lose. We have not adequately prepared for 8:00 rushed to the bus station, only to find to Kowloon Grand Canyon is only 7 o'clock a group of long-distance car.
Kowloon Grand Canyon is to not, and I was bitterly of the place to come up with a replacement. In this way the goal of locking in Jinan city's heritage. Such days climbing Qianfoshan certainly inappropriate, Baotu Spring unworthy of the name, the water had dried up, and the site is small, play will not last long. After much deliberation the three major scenic spots in Jinan Daming Lake only a. Heard that it is Dutch-sheng, it even catch on both the "Lotus Flower Festival", we will today's "outing" was set in the Daming Lake.
With "Ho-sheng" should not too. We are from the South Gate in, the smell of it came Hexiang, followed lotus is also a blow against our faces. Among the vast Dutch bundle, Mi hope that the green leaves, leaves large, the water is high, such as Ting-ting of the dancer's skirt. Looking around us, in the layers made of blue water and floating lotus leaf, it is difficult to see stand out like, pink flowers. I guess, probably because the lotus bloom of summer has passed; perhaps because the high winds last night showers makes the lotus Lvfeihongshou; perhaps because the lotus of the shy, unwilling to be easily noticeable appearance of pure people. This is the difference between the lotus and the peony bar!
We want to go sightseeing by boat across the lake, then walked along the side Hudi to Hubei. With the lake walk in-depth, I am also in-depth understanding of Daming Lake. Scenery alone is concerned, from afar, a lake smoke water, trees Bi Kong, Yang liuyin thick, lotus filled pond, blue water between the Handan Ying-day liuyin set off in the pavilion, pavilion stones, scattered randomly throughout. Yuanshanjinshui be integrated with the clear sky the same color, like a huge color picture. No wonder Liu Qing Dynasty Daming Lake Patent praised the "lotus surrounded on three sides, Liu, a city of mountains and a half city of lakes", which is her portrayal of landscape characteristics.
Daming Lake, while not known, but it has a strong historical and cultural atmosphere. Early said that its water comes from pearls, Zhuo Ying, Fu Yung Moroizumi Therefore, there is "mass spring convergence" theory. Spring water flows from the south, filled with water, when the outflow from the North Shore. Springs is made of imported spring water lake, will naturally be a unique charm. More than 1400 years ago, the Northern Wei Li Tao Yuan book "Waterways", in relation to records in Jinan City "Southwest has Luo water, north Daming Lake." When the Sui and Tang Daming Lake has been called the "water-Pei Li," "Lotus Lake", "small lake", Song Si also known as "Si Wang lake." Jin Dynasty onwards, Yuan Hao-wen's "line in Jinan in mind" in the beginning "the Daming Lake." This is probably the original source of Daming Lake. Marco Polo in the "Travels in China," he wrote: "garden beautiful, Kan Yuet reckoning, mountains lake, could not bear."
A leisurely pace brings us to the shore of Hunan Jiaxuan Temple, which is a commemoration was born in Jinan, and Li Qingzhao production called "Jinan 2 An" patriotic poet of the Song Xin Qi-ji buildings. Upon entering the door to be able to see Marshal Chen Yi had inscribed, "Xin Qi-ji Temple Memorial" plaque, hatchback, there Ye Shengtao, Deng Ming, Zang Kejia Xin Qi-ji's poetry, and others to commemorate the ink. The most attractive is also the theme of the number of Kuo Mo-jo hold column joint: "iron copper Pa After singing the drain east slope of the United States and the Southern Song Dynasty Qin Ji Mo with grief Millet Yannan Fei-hung", this pair of couplets bold vigorous, will Xin Qi-ji's life letter characterization is willing to do to serve the country.
Passing through numerous lotus pond, we finally have the opportunity to rafting on the the Daming Lake. Boat just offshore, we can not wait with the Ming dynasty had a close contact with water. This contact is brought about by the hands of cool, but is tired heart. Daming Lake is because it is dirty. Made a deep green, like the watercolors, watercolor, became a particle in some places. If someone says that the green water, is called cute, but I do not think the green Daming Lake is a lovely, because it lost its natural. Since then I have the opportunity Qu Letang Thousand Island Lake, to feel a real large area, where the clear water the color - the deep blue pale green; later had the opportunity to go to the jadeite valley of the Yellow Mountain, insights into the water after Jiuzhaigou King of the beauty, the kind of jade-like crystal clear that I am a long time unforgettable.
Quality of the water so I lost most of the play Masaoki Fortunately, in this weather boating on the lake was covered in a cool or cozy. Moments on board, the front of the lakes and mountains appear to be an appearance, which gave me plenty of time and energy to rest the eyes and brain. So I thought of the West Lake, Hangzhou's West Lake.
Same two lakes;
With the transport hub, capital city;
The same size;
The same natural conditions.
The same has a long cultural and historical origins.
However, different but a lot.
West Lake in the national and global visibility of more than Minghu;
West Lake's famous attractions than Minghu;
West Lake tourism benefits higher than Minghu;
West Lake's ecological environment is better than Ming Hu;
West Lake is better than Minghu the human environment.
If we say that thanks to Hangzhou history, thanks to Po Chu-i and Su Shi, but we can not forget the Jinan Li Qingzhao and Xin Qi-ji.
Why are two lakes we have such a disparity?
I put a question mark sink to the bottom of the lake of the Ming dynasty.
Northern shore, southwest of the door to leave. Daming Lake left me with the impression that only the "Ho-sheng," but I want to say: "Farewell, Ming Hu."
