"On the night of the bright moon on the Twenty-Fourth Bridge, where do the jade people teach to blow the flute?" The "Twenty-Four Bridges" attraction in the famous sentence of the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu is located in Yangzhou, and many people may think that it refers to the twenty-four bridges, but in fact it is only the name of a bridge in slender West Lake.
In the Zanglong Island National Wetland Park in Jiangxia District, Wuhan City, on the vast Yangqiao Lake, there is really a "Twenty-Four Bridges" landscape. These bridges are miniaturely built in imitation of famous Chinese and foreign bridges, and each bridge has a different style. In late autumn, visitors punch in the wetland park and hike several bridges to become one of the fun.
"There are mountains and water in the park, there are bridges and greenways, and there are rare protected animals and plants, which is very suitable for playing and punching." On October 30, Wang Taiming, director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau of Jiangxia District of Wuhan, introduced that in order to enjoy the unique scenery of the "Twenty-Four Bridges", tourists must explore the field.
Water passage, characteristic bridge into an important artery The natural ecological conditions in the Zanglongdao National Wetland Park are superior, including Yangqiao Lake, Xia Tan Lake and other areas, which are typical of urban freshwater lakes and wetlands dominated by lake wetlands.
Spring cherry blossom viewing, summer lotus picking, autumn maple, winter snow, the wetland park has a year-round scenery, there are Jiufengtai, Linghu, Dragon Head and other "Eight Views of the Hidden Dragon" nearby, "Twenty-four Bridges" is also one of the characteristics of the park.
On October 27, the weather was clear, and according to the navigation, the Jimu news reporter quickly arrived at the Zanglong Island National Wetland Park, and under the leadership of the park staff, strolled along the lakeside greenway to find the scenery of the "Twenty-Four Bridges".
Huang Kai, head of the Zanglong Island National Wetland Park Service Center, introduced that the most distinctive features of the "Twenty-Four Bridges" are the Zanglong Bridge, the imitation Qiantang River Bridge, the Lugou Bridge, the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge, and the Elizabeth II Bridge in the United Kingdom. Among them, the Hidden Dragon Bridge and Tongbao Bridge can not only display the characteristics of the park, but also serve as an important passage connecting the inside and outside across Yangqiao Lake and Zanglong Island.
Tongbao Bridge
The reporter arrived at the Tongbao Bridge first, and before he could get closer, he saw the "Kaiyuan Tongbao" shape on the bridge. Huang Kai introduced that the diameter of the copper coin is 19 meters, and the hole square shape is 7 meters * 7 meters. "Kaiyuan Tongbao" is a kind of metal currency minted in the Tang Dynasty, with an outer circle and an inner square, and the unity of heaven and man, which is believed to have the effect of warding off evil spirits and prospering wealth. This is a symbol of the people of Zanglong Island who create wealth and embrace wealth. The two Tongbao Bridges are located on both sides of the cruise ship, one of the "Eight Scenic Spots of the Hidden Dragon", connecting Yanghu Bridge North Road and Tanhu Road. "These two bridges are unique in shape and grand in scale, and many tourists come here to take pictures." Huang Kai said.
Hidden Dragon Bridge
Continue on to see the park's landmark building, the Hidden Dragon Bridge. The bridge is 420 meters long, 20.5 meters wide, 4 lanes in both directions, 19 spans, it is one of the earliest bridges across Tangxun Lake in Zanglong Island, it opens up the external artery, providing great convenience for the travel of Wuhan citizens. From a distance, the Hidden Dragon Bridge is like a long rainbow lying wave, majestic but exquisite, adding a modern atmosphere to Yangqiao Lake.
On weekends in late autumn, take advantage of the warm sunshine to stroll on the lake bridge, and the relaxed and comfortable look floats on the smiling faces of tourists. "The Twenty-Four Bridges are not only water scenery, but also an important traffic artery of Hidden Dragon Island." Huang Kai said.
With the deepening of the journey, the reporter noticed that the modeling style of many bridges is very eye-catching, and at a glance, it is clear whether it originates from the East or the West.
Huang Kai told jimu news reporters that the "Twenty-four Bridges" have both miniature versions of famous domestic bridges and imitations of well-known foreign bridges, and there are profiles about bridges on the side of each bridge. For tourists, it is also fun to increase bridge knowledge while playing.
Imitation of xiling yangtze river bridge
From the side of the Hidden Dragon Bridge, the imitation Yichang Xiling Yangtze River Bridge quickly entered the eye. The Xiling Yangtze River Bridge is only about 4.5 kilometers away from the upstream Three Gorges Dam water conservancy hub, and the main hole span is 900 meters, and once it crosses the river, it is known as "the first span of Shenzhou". When it was built in 1993, it represented the development direction of the world's large-span bridge at that time, and the successful completion of the bridge led to a new era of bridge construction in China. "The imitation bridge is certainly incomparable with the original bridge, but it is also proportionally miniature and an important part of the traffic on the lake." Huang Kai said.
Strolling along the greenway, the Yunnan wooden bridge built by using eight thick imitation log piers will show the simplicity and ruggedness of the wooden bridge to the fullest, so that people are naturally associated with the small wooden bridge in the water alley of Lijiang Ancient City. Walking on the bridge, it is also like being in a beautiful picture of a small bridge, flowing water, and people.
Different from the familiarity of the Oriental bridge, the imitation of the Western bridge does not have the tendency to be out of place, but adds a different charm to the entire park.
During the walk, the reporter noticed that a white tower with a red triangular spire was also a bridge by the lake. "This is a replica of the French Valentier Bridge, which can be arranged on the bridge to guard the main traffic routes, which is very well-known in Europe." Huang Kai explained that the four piers are in the shape of bunkers, and even in the distance, people can feel the momentum of a bridge blocking the barrier and opening up.
Imitation of the British Condor Bridge
The imitation of the British Control Bridge length is also a unique style, four conical towers about 10 meters high pulling red suspension cables, exotic and particularly strong.
A long history and the story behind it is worth seeing
During the visit, the reporter learned that in addition to the function and shape of these bridges, the stories behind them are also worth learning from tourists.
Imitation of Lugou Bridge
Lugou Bridge is a famous ancient bridge in China and abroad. As the saying goes, "The lions of Lugou Bridge are innumerable." There are 485 stone lions on the original bridge of Lugou Bridge, which was built in 1189, and "Lugou Xiaoyue" is known as one of the "Eight Scenic Spots of Yanjing".
"The imitation Lugou Bridge on Yangqiao Lake is 8 holes and 28 meters long, although the stone lions on the bridge are not as many as the original bridge, but the stone lions on the 32 railings are also different in posture, vivid and lively, exquisite and moving. Tourists can take a closer look when visiting. Huang Kai said.
During the walk, the reporter found a long green bridge with a slight bulge in the center of the bridge deck, imitating the Anlan Rope Bridge in Dujiangyan, Sichuan, one of the large bridges in ancient China. According to legend, in the eighth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, the locals He Xiande and his wife proposed to build a bamboo rope bridge, with wooden planks and a support railing next to it, so pedestrians on both sides of the strait could safely cross the storm, so it was renamed "Anlan Bridge"; in honor of The He couple, the folk also called it "Husband and Wife Bridge".
The Qiantang River Bridge, presided over by the famous bridge expert Mao Yisheng, is the first double-decker railway and highway dual-purpose bridge designed and built by China itself. Although the imitation Qiantang River Bridge is not double-decker, the metal railing style next to the bridge resembles the Qiantang River Bridge, paying tribute to this famous bridge that has undergone flames.
San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge is famous all over the world, running in a north-south direction, across the Golden Gate Strait, connecting Marini County and the northern end of San Francisco City, which is majestic and magnificent, and is a representative building of San Francisco City.
Although the scale of the imitation Golden Gate Bridge on Yangqiao Lake is much smaller, the difference is that the four Sola columns on the bridge are directly inserted into the lake and double as piers, which is not a suspension bridge structure in the true sense. Looking at it from a distance or inadvertently, it can also be confused.
The bridge is the soul of the Venetian water city, and between more than 120 islands, there are more than 400 stone arch bridges of different shapes, most of which are oval arch bridges. The Venetian arch bridge on Yangqiao Lake is also a single arch stone bridge, 15 meters long, quietly lying in the shape of a half moon, the bridge deck is smooth and smooth, the shape is beautiful, and the sculpture is fine, making people feel as if they are in the Middle of the Venetian Water City.
Imitation of elizabeth ii bridge
"Each bridge has its own history and story." Yao Chengbin, head of the Zanglong Island Comprehensive Cultural Service Center in Jiangxia District, Wuhan City, introduced that the Twenty-Four Bridges are a "miniature landscape", ornamental, and the famous bridges and bridges at home and abroad are dotted on the lake, each with its own posture and unique style; these bridges are also the water passages of the people of Zanglong Island, which is practical and maintains the integrity of the water body of Yangqiao Lake and has environmental significance.
