One-day Spring Viewing at Xuanwu Lake

On the first day of March, the temperature unexpectedly reached over 30 degrees. Thinking that next week will see a drop in temperature and rain, people from all over the world came to Xuanwu Lake today to enjoy the warm spring breeze and summer temperature. Walk past the ancient Jiming Temple and enter this Six Dynasties land from the Jiefang Gate on the southeast shore of Xuanwu Lake. The blue-gray city gate is crowded with tourists on weekends. The first stop is Lingzhou. The weeping willows along the Tailing Embankment have sprouted new buds, and the tender green silk ribbons brush lightly on the shoulders of tourists in the wind. The tall magnolias beside the bridge are the first to bloom. Swan boats and electric boats were crisscrossing on the lake, and the crowd queuing in front of the dock stretched all the way to the end of the stone steps. The outline of Purple Mountain in the distance is hazy, reflected in the sparkling waves, like a wet ink painting. Sitting under the Tailing flower stand and looking far towards Xinjiekou, the sunset has gradually unfolded its most golden glory. At the 2nd stop, we walked around the Nine-Curve Bridge on the north side of Lingzhou and entered the territory of Huanzhou. This is the "Cultural Corridor" of Xuanwu Lake. The pavilion in front of Guo Pudun's stele is crowded with tourists listening to the tour guide's explanation. The old plum trees beside the stone steps are about to bloom, but the fragrance lingers. At the 3rd stop, cross the Yoshibashi Bridge or the Lotus Bridge and you will reach Sakura Island. As the "home field of cherry blossoms" in Xuanwu Lake, in a month, the kilometer-long waterfront trail will be transformed into a world of hundreds of Kawazu cherry trees. Now it is still the stage for plum blossoms and camellias. The lawn and the embankment were filled with tents or tourists with sleeping mats. This spring nap was really comfortable. Stop 4: Xuanwu Gate, Dusk Biehu It was almost dusk when we walked past the last rockery waterfall on Huanzhou and crossed the last embankment bridge. The steps by the lake are filled with tourists, and from time to time there is a live singing or harmonica performance, which is full of artistic sense. The setting sun cast the silhouette of the Xuanwu Gate Tower onto the lake, and electric vehicles and pedestrians were constantly passing through the gate. This lake, which carries 1,800 years of history, comes alive on spring weekends. The flower event at Xuanwu Lake has just begun and will last until June. Stop 5⃣️Liu Changxing Phoenix Plaza Store From Xuanwu Gate, it takes only 10 minutes to walk to |Liu Changxing (Phoenix Plaza Store)^. Then go to this century-old restaurant and feast on dim sum without paying attention to the price. The price of various dim sum will not exceed 10 or 20 yuan. Then it connects seamlessly to Xuanwumen Station on Line 1.
