The former county seat of Guanyang was a small mountain town surrounded by earthen walls.
Xiaojiang was once a beautiful moat in the small mountain town.
I want to take a relatively complete picture of the current situation of Xiaojiang, the county seat of Guanyang.
This street is called South Gate Street.
The Xiaojiang River starts at the head of the Tuqiao, passes through Nanmen Street, and empties into the Guanjiang River near the East Gate, roughly located at the current Second Bridge.
But now the small river, from below Nanmen Street, has all become a road, and this small river has become history.
The new entrance to Xiaojiang is near the South Gate Pier.
In fact, this confluence entrance has existed for a long time, and the section of the small river below Nanmen Street has been silted up for many years and has long been out of water, making that section of the small river look like a large ditch that has dried up.
This is the South Gate Pier.
The former South Gate Pier was also paved with first-class large stone slabs, and next to the pier, there was a large poplar tree with a crooked neck, and the trunk of the tree stretched diagonally into the river.
Before there was no running water, the wharf was a lively place, and it was not uncommon for people to carry water in the morning, wash clothes in normal times, cut fish and kill chickens.
If it's summer, children will climb the crooked neck tree, jump from the tree, and make big waves in the river.
At that time, children were wilder, not as expensive as they are now.
On the wall of the berm hangs a sign of the water conservation area. However, this sign is a bit outdated, and the water intake point of the county waterworks has been moved to Yangluoshan Qing's house for many years.
Standing in this place, people can still smell an indescribable smell, indicating that the water quality of Xiaojiang still has room for improvement.
Below this street, there was once the riverbed of Xiaojiang.
The river is still flowing below, but it is bound inside a large round tube.
Xiaojiang, it is in this place that it has changed from an above-ground river to an underground river.
The original river face has become roads, streets and parking lots.
A little further up, a demolition site appeared on the opposite side of Xiaojiang.
It was originally the site of Hongqi Health Center, later renamed Guanyang County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the new site was moved to Jiangdong New District.
This place will not be so empty, I don't know what kind of building is going to be built?
This section of the river, although the width is a little narrower than before, but it is passable.
On one side of the river, a sewage pipe and retaining wall were built, and on the other side, it was still in a natural state, and a path was filled in by the river.
Going up the right bank of the small river, it is still this dirt road.
The dirt road to this point is blocked by railings, and in front of it is a vegetable field.
If people want to go over, they have to turn a corner and walk up the corridor.
After walking down the corridor, you have to go down a few steps. This kind of road, not to mention driving a car, walking has to worry about hurting your knees.
Shoot the railing from the other end of the vegetable patch.
This place can be regarded as an urban village in Guanyang County! In recent years, the hardened roads have been built to the top of the ravine, and the kind of mountain path has not been carried by a few people or cars all year round. But in the county seat, where people come and go every day, there is actually this kind of dirt road and mud road broken road. One cannot fail to say a regret.
We all know that the dismantling of urban villages is relatively difficult and costly, but it is something that some government departments should do to come up with planning and construction plans in advance.
Xiaojiang is a natural gift left to us by our predecessors, she could have dressed up beautifully, welcomed people to come for a leisurely stroll, and became a pearl in people's palms. As expected, once she became a smelly gutter that people discharged dirt and disliked everyone.
Xiaojiang, which has just been cleaned, is a little more beautiful than before.
Small bridge.
The original bridge, a concrete steel-concrete bridge, had only two lanes, but the current bridge was removed and rebuilt a few years ago and became a four-lane.
Stand on the small bridge and shoot downstream.
Stand on the bridge and shoot upstream.
The back entrance of Guanyang County Nationalities Primary School also has a bridge over Xiaojiang.
The ethnic primary school was originally the site of Guanyang Town Middle School, referred to as Guanyang Town Middle School, and later changed to a primary school, called Guanyang Town No. 3 Primary School, referred to as Three Elementary School, and now changed to Guanyang County Ethnic Primary School.
The name of the school was changed back and forth, which was a bit confusing.
The gate of Guanyang County Ethnic Primary School.
This section of the river next to the Minzu Primary School.
Only one side of the river has a sewage pipe, and the other side of the sewage is directly discharged into the river, so there is a period of time every year, the water of the river is not very clean.
Further up, there is a vegetable field by the small river in front, and it is only a matter of time before it becomes a house.
Moving forward, Xiaojiang became a little narrower.
On both sides of the river, retaining walls have been built, the left is built by the developer of the Xuezhou District and has been around for about 20 years, and the right is built by the residents in recent years, in order to leave more wide passages, the Xiaojiang had to be narrowed.
The road in the Xuezhou Development Zone is also not too wide, and there is only one lane here.
Housing built by the river.
The river surface is covered with concrete slabs.
Around the corner is the narrowest part of the road.
This section of the river is also relatively narrow.
Although this section is slightly narrower than before, it is quite beautifully built, and if the entire section of Xiaojiang has such a look, it is a place to take a walk after dinner.
Come to a small bridge.
On top of the bridge, the original width of the river is still retained.
On both sides of the river are residential communities engaged by developers, with Xuezhou District on the left and Yashiyuan on the right.
A small dam was set under the bridge, and the small river formed a small pond in front of the bridge.
Outside the county CDC's walls, a trail continues along the river.
This trail must have just been built, and as far as I can remember, there was no way to get here.
The formwork lining on the opposite bank has not yet been removed, and it seems that the treatment of this section of the small river has not yet been completed.
The course of the small river was dredged, and filled with a layer of stone.
This is what a river should look like, with clear flowing water and green trees.
The trail was converted from a sewage pipe.
There are trees in the way.
The front was blocked by a small bridge, and there was no way to move forward, so I could only turn around.
On the way back, I found that the trees by the river were very beautiful, so I took two more pictures.
This section of the river is the most beautiful section of the river, if the whole section is like this, how good it would be!
