What is the ancient city of Hefei? Maybe you will know Huancheng Park by taking Huancheng Road, which is located around the old city of Hefei and surrounded by a moat. In 1950s, abandoned city walls were used to build ring roads and trees were planted. Park around the city was built in 1980, with a total length of 8.7 kilometers and a total area of 137.6 hectares. On the basis of the original green belt around the city, it is a strip-shaped open park dotted with garden buildings and rocks by adopting open layout and gardening art. It holds the old city in its arms and blends into the new city. Green trees and clear water are tied inside like green belts, and it is praised as "a string of jade necklaces inlaid with several pearls" by guests at home and abroad.

0 1 Xinghua Park

Speaking of Xinghua Park, located in the northwest corner of the old city and near Shuiximen, many old Hefei people are no strangers. This park with beautiful scenery and a long history can be described as a place that bears the memories of generations.

As one of the children's parks with a long history in Hefei, Xinghua Park Children's Park attracts many parents to bring their children to play every weekend. The huge colorful Ferris wheel is like a beautiful rainbow surrounded by green trees. Every familiar piece of music on the train and merry-go-round can arouse ripples in my heart.

Pigeonhouses are also a major feature. A snack can attract flocks of pigeons. Rowing is still the favorite game for many young people and their parents and families. Colorful boats are comfortable and warm, suitable for the whole family to enjoy the beautiful scenery and chat. The Yue study room, built by the lake, adds a scholarly atmosphere to this park full of life.

02 black chiba

Heichiba Park on the West Ring Road is one of the small and low-key parks that many people like. Located in the east of Amber Villa, a famous garden-style residential community in Hefei. "Historical Records of the County Records" records: "Mirage Lake, the former site is in the west of the city, and the water is black and inexhaustible, and its common name is Heichiba." "The width varies from ten to twenty feet, and the terrain is high in the south and low in the north, and dams are built to store water." Heichiba was originally a moat outside the wall of Xicheng, starting from the south bank of Nanfeihe River at the northern end and reaching Anqing West Road in the south (it was connected with Amber Lake in the early years and separated by a dam ridge to facilitate people to walk and enter and leave the city). At that time, Heichiba was unable to store water because of its higher terrain than Nanfeihe River. In order to integrate the moat and play a protective role, a dam was built on the south bank of the North He Fei River to store water and protect the west city.

In summer, the black pool dam with crabapple, crape myrtle, safflower magnolia and cedar hanging down seems to have entered a dark green world. The trees are tall and dense, green and thick. Walking deep along the stone road, the air is fresh and birds are singing. In addition to the natural landscape, it also combines ancient and modern, with a strong cultural and artistic atmosphere. Bao Zheng, Li Shen, Zhang Liao and Liu Mingchuan have 23 bas-reliefs on the east side of the waterfront.

There is also a light and shadow runway, a "light sculpture" woven with stainless steel thread, a "resplendent" ceiling lamp made of ceramic tile downlights, and a conformal lamp simulating reeds and bubbles to form a beautiful night scene. Light and shadow interact to make the sky beautiful!

03 Hupo Lake

Who doesn't want to go to the amber pool in their spare time? Amber Lake, also known as Shihe River, has been silently accompanying Hefei people for decades and was once a section of the moat in the west of the city. The whole scenic spot is divided into three parts: the green fountain square, the water stage and the artificial stone wall group centered on Amber Lake. 1995 was rated as one of the top ten scenic spots of "amber streamer" in Hefei.

Amber pond, the lake is extremely green, shining in the sunlight. The rockeries, stone walls and hanging pavilions in the park really seem to be among the winding mountains. When walking on the cobblestone path in the forest, listening to the chirping birds, breathing the fresh air and smelling the smell of vegetation, there is an indescribable relaxation and pleasure.

It is also an entertainment place for the young and old in Xian Yi. Various organizations often come here to rehearse programs. Grandparents are in groups of 351, fighting with wits and courage, or using authentic fat words to describe their parents' shortcomings ... It's quiet and comfortable here.

04 Xishan scenic spot

Xishan Scenic Area is located in the west of Hefei Scenic Area. In the scenic area, trees are shaded, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, and an open layout is adopted. It embraces the old city and blends into the new city. Trees and clear water are tied together like a green belt, and it is known as "a jade necklace inlaid with several pearls". Jogging by the moat seems to feel the grand occasion of traveling through Hefei.

It always touches the childhood memories of countless Hefei people: sika deer, lions, elephants, tigers and other animal sculptures can be seen everywhere in bushes and lawns, and sculptures and photos of countless children are left in yellowed family albums, which is the imprint of time.

In the scenic spot covered by lush trees, people who walk here will sit down, bask in the sun and blow the breeze ... The quiet lake is nearby, and the sparkling water is wandering in a world of pictures for a long time.

05 Chilan Bridge

Jiang Kui, a famous poet and musician in the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote in his poem "Send Fan Zhong Ni to Hefei" that "my family once lived in Chilan Bridge, and my neighborhood was not lonely", which made a "Chilan Bridge" in Hefei widely spread. Where is the "Chilan Bridge" in the poem?

From Tongcheng South Road to the south, there is a stone tablet at the intersection with Huancheng Road, engraved with "Chilan Bridge", also known as "Chilan Bridge". It is said that this bridge was built in memory of Jiang Kui, who stayed here and left many poems related to Hefei, recording his indissoluble bond with Hefei. Today, this stone tablet and bridge has become a landmark on Tongcheng Road and an important historical and cultural relic in Hefei.

The Chilan Bridge described by the poet is a large-scale relief of "White Stone Companion" in today's Yinhe Scenic Area of Huancheng Park. The relief composition absorbs the traditional painting form of China, combines the life scene with the artistic conception of the poem, and is matched with Meilan bamboo stone, giving people a rare tranquility in the downtown area. There are mulberry trees, nanmu trees, cinnamon trees, locust trees and other trees along the river, which is like a Jiangnan style.

06 Yinhe Park

The "Galaxy" in history is actually a moat in ancient Hefei, which was gradually transformed into its present appearance in the 1980s. Located between Huizhou Avenue and Jinzhai Road in Hefei City, it borders Huancheng South Road in the north and Wuhu Road in the south, and is a part of Huancheng Park. Quiet and beautiful scenery in the noise. Whenever the dawn is slightly exposed, the river is sparkling and sparkling under the illumination of the dawn, which is probably known as the "Milky Way".

Yinhe Park is the earliest open-air park in Hefei, which is quiet and leisurely. In the morning, you will see the old man sitting leisurely on a bench by the river, enjoying the sunshine; Dog walkers stop and go on cobblestone roads, the lake is reflected on their bodies, and the faint ... time slowly precipitates here, which has also become the memory of generations of old Hefei.

As an old-fashioned park in the center of Hefei, Yinhe Park has been transformed and re-beautified, becoming the "new favorite" of citizens' exercise places. Whether you come here for fitness or leisure, it is a good place to go!

There are seven gates in Hefei.

In the East, people once called them "the mighty gate" and "Yong Men", which are today's Dadongmen and Xiaodongmen. There are Nanxun Gate and Desheng Gate in the south, among which Nanxun Gate is between the Provincial Construction Department and Yinhe Building. Deshengmen is now between the Provincial Education Department and the former Anhui Daily. On the west are Xipingmen and Shuiximen. Xipingmen, now the Great West Gate, is located between the provincial youth league school and Amber Lake. Shuiximen, west of the Provincial Department of Finance, is at the intersection of Bozhou Road today.
