20231221 afternoon: 1. Hengyang West Lake Park is a long-standing convenient park in Hengyang City. It existed when Hengyang City was built 1,000 years ago. It was one of the ten ancient sceneries of Hengyang. The ancient West Lake has no existence. It was rebuilt at the current site in 1992. It is one of 36 West Lakes in the country. Wang Fuzhi, a Hengyang native, is famous for "West Lake Night White Lotus", covering an area of 190,000 ㎡, of which the surface area accounts for 46%, because there is a bronze statue of Xia Mingham Martyrs in the park, also known as Mingham Park. The park is divided into five areas of Lake Zhongdao, West, North, East and South.

Lake Island is the core area of the park. The green forests on the island are like green and Maolin. The bamboo card with ancient poetry is hanging from the tree. It is very artistic. Many citizens walk and play cards on the island. There are landscapes on the island: ① Ailian Pavilion: The main park building was built in 1986, formerly known as Furong Pavilion, with four floors and three floors outside, 22 meters high, magnificent and magnificent, you can climb to overlook the beautiful scenery of the intersection of steamed water, Xiangshui and Lishui 3 rivers. At present, the pavilion is a cultural exhibition of integrity, but the door is not open; There are many cases of integrity of Qing officials on the ground of the Lianzheng Cultural Park outside the Pavilion, as well as the introduction of famous Qing officials and writers of Lian poems in previous generations, including Bao Zheng, Wang Changling, Lu You, Wang Anshi, Yu Qian, and Li Shangyin. ② Waterfall 2: The stone pavilion hanging on the lake, there is an office room shaped like a big tree root at the end, and there are many dead branches and leaves in winter, and the depression is lonely. ③ China-Japan cherry blossom friendship forest: It is one of the earliest cherry blossoms planted in Hengyang City. It is not in the cherry blossom season. At present, there is only one green, and many cherry trees have crooked. ④ Minghan Square: A lawn square, at the end of the center is the head of Xia Minghan Martyrs. He is a member of the Hunan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, Secretary of Mao Zedong, Hengyang, and Chiang Kai-shek launched the "412 Counter-Revolutionary Coup" in the 16th year of the Republic of China (1927), and the first cooperation between the Communist Party of China broke down. The following year, Xia Minghan was arrested and sacrificed in Wuhan. At 28 years old, he was buried by his cousin on the Baishazhou River, but the tomb was later washed away by the river and his body was washed away. Next to the Xia Minghan's head is the cemetery of his wife Zheng Jiaxuan, who died in 1975, and her ashes and Xia Minghan's head were moved to the park in 2003. The stone tablet on the side of the square is engraved with the inscription of modern literary artist Guo Moruo. ⑤ Minghan Pavilion: Black Hexagonal Double Pavilion, not far from Minghan Square. ⑥ Moon Gate: There is a map but it is not found. ⑦ Zhou Dunxuan's fifteen-year-old statue: The black child sitting statue of Zhou Dunxuan, founder of Northern Song Lixuan and literaryist Zhou Dunxuan. Zhou Dunxuan lost his father at 5 years old, and his mother went to Hengzhou (Hengyang Ancient Name), the uncle of Longtuge, Zheng Xiang, Zheng Xiang treated him like a son, saw that he loved white lotus, and built a pavilion on the West Lake in front of his house to plant lotus, so it can be speculated that "Ailian Say" carried the lotus in the former residence of Hengyang West Lake when he was a teenager. Feeling. ⑧ Shuangting Misty Rain... The number of words exceeds the limit, continue in the last picture
