Haohe scenic spot

Haohe scenic spot can be divided into three major scenic spots: Southeast Haohe, southwest Haohe and North Haohe. Each scenic spot is composed of several scenic films and scenic spots. The southeast Haohe river is open. In ancient times, there was no road or bridge in this area, and the passage was entirely by boat. Later, Zhang Jian built dikes and bridges (Sanyuan bridge and Qixiu bridge) to facilitate land transportation. Sanyuan bridge with Wenfeng tower, half village, half outline, beautiful scenery, is one of the best scenic spots of Haohe. Baodazhang, a poet of the Qing Dynasty, has a poem "the work in front of Wenfeng Pagoda Temple at night", which says: "Zhijin is near Sanyuan bridge, and you can live in a fish bed as a neighbor. In the bright moon, the shadow of the tower is hanging upside down. The poet vividly describes the beautiful and peaceful environment at the southeast end of Haohe river. The southwest Haohe river is also quite open, with sandbars in the water and pavilions (Kuixing tower, also known as shuixinlou). Li Qi, a Qing Dynasty man, wrote a poem about the scenery in this area: "shuixinlou is surrounded by water, and the area is full of willows. The most important thing is that the sunset people ask about the ferry, and they compete with the stream to sell the boat. It can be seen that this place was still vast at that time. It was not until Zhang Jian built five parks that he built dikes and bridges between them. Beihao river is also very broad, located in remote, quiet environment. In the past, there were suspension bridges on the East, West and south sides of Haohe River to connect the two sides, but there was no bridge on the North Haohe river. It was not until after liberation that the temporary bridge was built by using the "Yi" in Haohe River (the mound left in the ancient sandbank water). Recently, it was rebuilt into a wide, solid and beautiful Beihao bridge.
