An urgent need for landscape planning and construction of garden cities - cursory look at Yellowstone
Tian Xing
Introduction: The City was originally Landscape
April 1, 2004, Thursday, continuing more than a week of rainy weather clear up, sunny spring. 14:00 o'clock, at the Youth Road, Wuhan, riding on a long-distance bus station to the Yellowstone of the car, more than two hours to arrive in Huangshi City.
Wuhuang get off the highway in, I'll take a taxi downtown to the Yellowstone. Along Lake Avenue, greeted the hill a block and a piece of small lakes.
This is my second time this year to Yellowstone National City. Compared with the first impression I feel Yellowstone are not many high-rise buildings on the natural conditions, the Huangshi in Hubei Province is a natural landscape really good city. A beautiful flowers, trees swaying, ringed by mountains, busy.
Through a cave, a broad perspective, the immediate is the endless lake, which is larger than the West Lake in Hangzhou magnetic Lake. In the magnetic Lake street, there is a green square and lakeside Plank Road, the car walk through here, both modern and dynamic feel, but also to experience the natural beauty of the mountains.
For ten minutes to reach the center of the Golden Flower Hotel. This is the Huangshi City's most upscale hotel, although only three stars, but the former is also the tallest building in Yellowstone. Yellowstone is the last time I stayed at this hotel.
Although this hotel on the busy central area, but it is a tourist treasure. Front of the hotel is the stretching of the mountains. Standing in my living room looked around, from halfway up the mountain side of the road in front of the hotel is the rows of houses, there are two three-storey bungalows, there are more than a dozen layers of small high-level, there are new houses with sloping roof , and the patchwork, a very bright facade.
Especially at night, standing on the hotel room, looking across the hills little starlight, it feels sometimes like a small mountain town of Yellowstone. Middle of the night, Yellowstone, it is extraordinarily quiet, but from time to time the long whistle sounded, but also broke the Yellowstone calm. The hill side, this was the walk through the train.
Yellowstone a little "yellow"
Evening meal accompanied by more people, fear Baijiu, I'll point the wine, Shengqingnanque, I drank more than a full 82, we all drink red in the face, I seem a little tipsy, but the mind is still very clear. Nearly 9 o'clock at night, in the hotel just to sit down, not bursts of song and dance when the sound came. Find it difficult to sleep, standing on the window to see surrounded by feasting, but also heard that Yellowstone's entertainment industry is still very well-developed, it aroused my curiosity. So I decided to take the lift down the stairs, ready to take a look at Yellowstone night style, walking in the street, both sides could be seen everywhere Kara OK hall, coffee shop, foot city, leisure estates. We asked several exploratory, service mode all not the same, some just sing, some just massage, and some offer full service. Chuibei a point 10 yuan, a full set of services 100 yuan, the proprietress and the young ladies are very enthusiastic and generous. We want to see what was going on, but because there is no try, only map a mouth happy. However, a boss, said: Huangshi, though a small city, but very open, there are health care, but also sex, there is no big deal. We are surprised, but the boss is very calm. Perhaps the "yellow" for the existence of Yellowstone is an open secret that, right? Who called Yellowstone has a "yellow" in it?
Magnetic Lake around "human library"
April 2, ate breakfast, in the Real Estate Board Office of the Deputy Director Liu, accompanied by that is that we went to visit the zone. Sitting in a taxi to see the building Yellowstone Although it is not very messy, but obviously it was felt that high density, especially through a place called "Matt Village", one to see so many houses built in the lake concentration of such a beautiful place It is a pity! In the community a look, this where what is called the "Village"? This is "human library." Here we not only live in crowded, but also undermines the entire lake scenery. This allows us to understand, I wonder if the Government did not plan better? Or Xintai Hei developers here want to earn more by increasing the occupancy rate of interest? But having said that, now Yellowstone cell like this even better only the "matte Village," a do?
Magnetic Lake is the largest urban areas Yellowstone Lake, Lake Central has a road, called Hangzhou Road, the magnetic lake divided into two blocks west of the lake there is a road, then called Guilin Road, from its street names, we can see that Yellowstone is the wants to build itself into, like Hangzhou, Guilin mountains and rivers are equally beautiful garden city. But the magnetic Lake pollution also more serious, in Hangzhou road walk, we see that this part of the lake near the city center is a black one, the water is flying catkins. I remember only the general drift of Wuhan in May catkin flowers, I do not know why Yellowstone's catkins flower drift so early, this may be located in the south, the temperature itself is higher than that of Wuhan's sake, right? Yellowstone in Hangzhou on the road to see the mountains, features a very distinct, close to the living area of the mountain is a piece of green, while the mountains near the mine is a piece of gray. But a stroll in Hangzhou on the road to see if road on both sides of the tall camphor wood, stone bench on the open in the moment, there are spots like the West Lake in Hangzhou leisure taste.
Can "betrayal" of the small islands in the magnetic lake, there is a small island called catfish pier, next to being there is a small wooden boat, the above one elderly fisherman. Circumstances in mind, I asked: where you can casually do to fish? Deputy Director Liu description: This is not fishing, he is mainly tourists on the island then play the. This is what has aroused my interest: "We are on the island to play."
This island is not large, play a little faster, 10 minutes will be able to finish off, but a close look is very sophisticated, very rich in content. Su said that this island had also been to the island's highest point is a pavilion, you can view the scenery around the lake magnetic. But I look around the lake remain severely polluted, the water around floating debris San Zhao.
Trees and plants on the island are more of a dense hemp hemp, but also there are some stone bench chairs and bamboo chair. Deputy Director Liu introduction, this island is a good place to talk about friends, whether it is day or night, and often there are pairs of lovers come here for fun, as we have two big men to come here very little. Sumon's a chef on the island even more direct, this island is a "betrayal island", especially in summer, one night pairs of men and women have come to this island's secret rendezvous in the woods can do everything. But also in the field to couple to this island, the multi-play.
On the island at the entrance there is an arch, antique, and next to the hanging of a string of red lanterns, it seems this place is "Raise the Red Lantern," ah!
In fact, in my opinion, this should be a clean place to practice and learning of literature, or of self-cultivation of a good place.
In the "Sleeping Beauty" who come to Yellowstone each time we always hurry and had no time nor energy to tourism, but on many occasions to see Yellowstone posters and a variety of information on that lake just at sunset magnetic Bath's "Sleeping Beauty" made me worry about the new memory, look at the dream Sleeping Beauty undulating movements often can not tell me I have a impulse: There is an opportunity I will definitely go and see that the dream of Sleeping Beauty and even stroke. This sneak in, I have personally experienced that "Sleeping Beauty" the first time.
Sleeping Beauty spots mainly in the "Mission City Park," inside, went to parks, to see just a piece lush undulating hills and pavilions, can not see what the Sleeping Beauty. Many times I have been to here, but they did not notice this is a Sleeping Beauty. In fact, this is the distance from the United States, almost see the mountains, seen from afar is a Sleeping Beauty. Deputy Director Liu witty introduction, we went to this park reached the equivalent of the movements and on the Sleeping Beauty. This allows us to generate a glimmer of how much happiness. Road tourist heard a joke: do want to touch the Sleeping Beauty? Then to the mountains to feel the sensitive parts of the bar! We go up the hill, this mountain looks much, but the front came up the hill was found not be easy to narrow winding can not walk half a day on the Peak. Combined with a bit tired because of the time a hurry, and we carry a pulled out. Do not touch the sensitive parts of Sleeping Beauty has become a regret, it seems the sensitive parts of Sleeping Beauty is not so easy to rub the.
Coincided with spring sunshine, it is a good time to hikers, the regiment is also a city park, delighted the crowd cheered, a group of kindergarten kids are playing roughhouse. Kids to this place where there are mountains of water play without losing is a very pleasant thing.
Magnetic Lake belong to provincial-level scenic spot, located in the city center, water 8.7 kilometers, the main attractions is the Chinese name of Park 100, "Mission City, 3 walled." Lake in the magnetic architecture here is a look at a typical southern landscape.
Left Yellowstone, I also specifically look at the Mission City Park from a distance around the mountain together, then undulating gesture really like a sleeping beauty.
The pains of relocation there is a road named in Yellowstone Guilin Road, which is the old town with the development zone boundaries. Can be seen from road names, Yellowstone, or aspire to their city can be as beautiful as the scenery in Guilin. In Guilin Road and Hangzhou Road, where there is a large square, called the People's Square, is Yellowstone's new card is also the Yellowstone landmark project, but also left nine decades of the last century to cities and towns across the country when the late Place the tree construction achievements of the mark.
Yellowstone's government bodies and departments now have largely moved to the vicinity of the zone to see the layout of surrounding buildings is still relatively standardized, that is, the construction of residential quarters appears to have fallen behind. Heard that Yellowstone is preparing to build a national-level Housing Pilot Project, we are preparing to go to the site to see. The land is also within the development zone, back into a piece of the mountain, scenery and pleasant, that is, more to the peasants live. When we go, the plot is the demolition. In addition to seeing the collapse of the housing into the film, we also see that there are many bowls of thick camphor trees have been cut down. At that time I felt very strange, can people here is not the green awareness? Local farmers say that cutting trees for granted here. Some farmers see me in the pictures, put us as investigators and journalists, have a pro-ran over, I have a word on your language to talk about the demolition of one of the various issues. Some said the demolition was carried out by force, and some said the demolition took a triad, there are farmers who simply brought us to his home, let us look at the demolition site. One farmer said: "I do not want the demolition, they forcibly took my family to play three holes, I was at home also. You imagine that if houses collapsed, and that would be so dangerous?" We look closely, and that households There are three holes in the wall really. A peasant woman is revealing to us the waist that was playing demolition personnel. We did not survey, there is no right to speak, can only express deep sympathy. But the demolition For farmers, it was a difficult to heal wounds. Landscape garden city built to improve the living environment of this is a good thing, but properly handle the relocation of the contradictions is a very difficult thing.
Magic "Kowloon camphor"
In the demolition site, inadvertently we have seen a large group of trees. Came closer, is a large camphor tree, the tree has nine trunks, tall and upright. Local farmers say that the tree has nearly a hundred years of history, and they usually call it "Kowloon camphor tree", meaning the same as the nine dragon, so the tree will become a local "sacred tree", often people come to worship It is, as far as it can kiss goodbye the career and fortune. Although the local farmers is not very highly value trees, felling of trees often occur, but this tree has been protected very well. Came closer, this nine roots are closely linked to a stump of a tree, the branches to the sky then the radial extension of the crown diameter of up to tens of meters. The villagers say that here, hare and birds often patronize. I have seen a lot of camphor, but this is the first time to see such a large camphor tree; I have seen many of the trees intertwine their roots, but to see so many trees together is really rare.
While demolition is very difficult here, but here, surrounded by mountains, trees Misty is, after all a treasure land, coupled with such a large evergreen tree to tree, adds to the aura here. Although some say the developers a little "black", but I envy the developers vision and good fortune.
Cheng Cheng good scenery on the island on Magnetic Island is located in the central lake, next to a levee and Hangzhou Road, and connects downtown, from the embankment over a small bridge you can walk up, is a party to feng shui Yellowstone rare treasure, also known as magnetic Lake the best attractions. In the Yellowstone on the popular phrase: "to play a must-magnetic Yellowstone Lake to Magnetic Lake a must-play Tsukishima Cheng."
When we went to see the island has a wide variety of colorful light show model, it seems light show held here recently. Deputy Director Liu said that people who are here at night to play Trinidad and Tobago are generally brings their mouth to play. The island has a variety of pavilions, as well as leisure promenade center of the island there is a small pond, you can fishing; on the island is very lush bamboo trees on the island to see the scenery surrounding Yellowstone clear, in particular, is to look at the scenery, Hangzhou Road, particularly beautiful, and that the green Long Beach, two holes of the arch bridge, really a little taste of the West Lake. We are on the island, when it is noon, the weather was still hot and Deputy Director Liu wearing the shirts, and then walk most of the day, and we tired a little bit, just a few swings on the island, which we can sit down together on the swing , and spring breeze, Yang Liu Yiyi you see waves of green, fatigue ton to go.
People have the impression that Yellowstone is an industrial city, rich in mineral resources, there are minerals there is pollution, but I cursory look at Yellowstone, would think that Yellowstone is a mountain town, there are unique natural landscapes and cultural resources, but it must be clear is that this is an urgent need to do the planning and construction of urban landscapes.
Yellowstone, and when we can see your landscape garden Zunrong?
