Counting the top ten well-preserved ancient cities in China, where have you been?

I have been to Shangqiu ancient city, which is a very beautiful place. Shangqiu has a crystal clear Daming Lake, which is what Kangxi often said.

There is also the beautiful scenery of Daming Lake, with kites flying, fish jumping, lotus flowers filling the pond and ships passing by. On both sides of the banks, there is a dense Yang Liuyin, full of flowers and tourists. There are all kinds of pavilions. The mountains, water and clear sky in the distance blend into one color, just like a huge colorful picture scroll. The beauty of Daming Lake is presented all year round, especially in the crisp autumn. In spring, warm wind is blowing on the lake, wicker is swaying and microwave is rippling.

There is also the water color of Daming Lake, which is very clear and dotted with willows, lotus flowers and pavilions. Qianfo Mountain in the south is reflected in the lake, forming a natural picture. There are small pavilions and waterside pavilions by the lake, and in the south of the lake, there is a garden that imitates the gardens built in the south of the Yangtze River during the Qing Xuan Tong period. There are curved bridges, cloisters and rockery pavilions in the far garden, which are very elegant. There is a small pavilion on the rockery near the lake, which is called "the first garden in Jinan". You can see the scenery of Daming Lake at a glance.

There is also the Lixia Pavilion when Daming Lake was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It was originally built next to Wulongtan, where Du Fu, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, went to a banquet to write a poem: "The pavilion is ancient with sea stones, and there are many celebrities in Jinan." After the Northern Song Dynasty, Lixia Pavilion moved to the south bank of Daming Lake. During the reign of Kangxi, the Lixia Pavilion was rebuilt. There is also Nanfeng Temple built in memory of Ceng Gong, one of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties. Ceng Gong, a native of Nanfeng, Jiangxi Province, is known as Mr. Nanfeng. When he was the magistrate of Jinan, his political achievements were very good and he was deeply loved by the people.
