Shagou Lake Metasequoia Park

Shagou Lake Agricultural Demonstration Park is located on the west side of Yangzhou Road, with Changjiang Road in the south and Xingguo Road in the north, covering a total area of more than 4,000 mu. Due to factors such as low-lying terrain, the lake area has always been a low-yield area. Only one crop of rice can be harvested a year, and if it encounters rainy years, there is often no harvest. In order to completely change the low-yield situation of Shagou Lake and improve the efficiency of agricultural production, in 2005, the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government included the construction of Shagou Lake Agricultural Demonstration Park as a key urban construction project. Shagou Lake will be built into an agricultural demonstration area integrating high-efficiency agriculture and sightseeing agriculture. At the same time, it can also provide valuable "green kidneys" for the development of Pizhou city, and play a positive role in promoting the development of surrounding land. The overall landscape design of the Agricultural Demonstration Park is carried out by Shanghai Tongji University, retaining the original natural ecological features, suitable for water, and gardens, combining the original small fish ponds into a large water surface. The long and narrow water system is connected as one. The single buildings such as three gates, pavilions, pavilions and corridors were designed by Professor Zhang Hong from Southeast University, a disciple of Professor Qi Kang of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. The overall style is based on the new Han style, reflecting the characteristics of Han culture. The south gate is 18 meters high and 118 meters wide. There is a sub-mother que and a corridor on one side, and a corridor in the middle, facing the dew plate with a height of 7 meters. There are five Han Dynasty wine bottles on each side. The main building of the North Gate is 28.95 meters high, with 4 totem poles on each side. In front of the door are two replicas of the Eastern Han Dynasty exorcism unearthed in Zhancheng Town, our city, highlighting the characteristics of Han culture. The west gate is 18 meters high and 36 meters wide, with a Han Ding on one side, showing the long history and culture of Pizhou. All the fish ponds in the park are connected in series, the soil is excavated and piled up into islands, and flowers and trees such as black pine, weeping willow, magnolia, high-pole privet and various fruit trees are planted. The beautiful Shagou Lake, the weeping willows with smoke and green, and the blue waves reflecting the red flowers, have become a charming scenery in Pizhou!
