Check in at Shili Xietang

It starts from the Shushuikou of Xietang River in Jinji Lake in the west and ends at the catfish mouth of Wusong River in the east. It is about ten li long and is called "Shili Xietang" by the locals. Since ancient times, the long and winding Shili Xietang has left many traces of literati and poets. As early as the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the poet Gao Qi, who lived in seclusion in Qingqiu, Wusong (now in Shengpu), wrote a seven-character poem entitled "The Boat Returns to the River Passing Xietang"... Let us follow the famous poet's verses to slowly appreciate the beauty of Xietang River: Gao Qi "The Boat Returns to the River Passing Xietang": The spring pond water submerges the sand, There are no flowers after the beginning of Qingming Festival. The spring is cold and rainy, so I am anxious to go home. I am too lazy to stay in my boat and ask for a tavern.
