Where is more fun in Shuyang?

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, if you look at Shuyang from the north of Shuyang County, you can see a towering cornice building in the northwest of Shucheng, which is Shucheng Town God Temple, which is 15 miles away. Closer, you can see another cornice building on the east side of Chenghuang Temple, which is the "Xiaoyao Hall" of Shuyang Yuji Park, which was the main building of the park at that time. Now, if you look at Yuji Park from the north of Shuyang, the scene is completely different: the whole park is surrounded by high-rise buildings, and colorful tower tops and glazed tile buildings extend from the "water surface" of the "green ocean" to the sky and shine in the sun. ...

"The ancient Yuji Park has been reborn!" This is a saying of Shuyang people, which shows that this park has a history since childhood. In the early years of the Republic of China, "people's feelings" were a little loose, and people had the desire to establish public entertainment places. 1929, Dong Shenghan, the county magistrate of Shuyang, presided over the proposal to build the garden. The first is the choice of location: a place in the north of Shuyang, with low terrain in the north, where reeds, water bamboo and the like grow; There are several ancestral temples in the south and west, such as Cheng, Zhou, Bao and Lu. The land here is empty, decorated with several ancestral halls and two "Xiao Jie Square" and other ancient buildings, which is the preferred address of the park.

After liberation, under the leadership of Shuyang County People's Government, the construction of Yuji Park increased one after another. Plant trees, transform lotus ponds and build greenhouses. Especially in 1986, when Liu was the secretary of Shuyang County Party Committee and Zheng was the county magistrate, he mobilized migrant workers from several townships, excavated the artificial lake of Yuji Park and built the lake embankment, which more than doubled the park area. Moreover, a large number of facilities, trees and flowers have been added, making the park a modern amusement place.

The present Yuji Park, with a total area of 80 mu, is an artificial lake in which dozens of miniature boats swim and the water surface is very wide. Sculptures and interesting stone fence bridges stand on the water in different positions. The "East-West Lake Embankment" sandwiched by two water phases has high terrain and dense trees. Because of its special location, the lake embankment is breezy. Standing on the embankment, watching the water and the scenery: the lake is full of lotus fragrance, and the birds and flowers in the forest make people feel like they are in a fairyland. To the south of the lake, there are many flower beds and galleries, with more than a thousand kinds of flowers and trees, including peony, plum blossom, Prynne, smiling face, laurel in the middle of the moon, bauhinia, purple beauty, purple magnolia and so on. There are cordate telosma that blooms at night and is harvested the next morning, acacia flowers that stretch in the morning at night, and crape myrtle, an itchy tree, which moves when it touches the trunk leaves when there is no wind. Among perennial flowers and trees, the most valuable ones are some "Jiang Yi Jia Huai" and experienced pine pile bonsai. Among them, there are more than 20 thorn pines, and the oldest one is 200 years old. They are all cut down and cultivated according to the trend of "mountain forest faction" Some are hanging branches and arms, some are interspersed with hooks, like lively snakes, more like ancient paintings.
