The "Wuhu" of Huizhou West Lake is also known as the Jinghu Lake away from the hustle and bustle of the world. It seems that this Jinghu is a forgotten place in the world. The homestays built along the surrounding Wuhu are like the dew of the summer solstice with the lake; beckoning to send off the sunset of the sky. Remind: Wang Bo's ancient famous sentence "Tianshui long the sky, the sunset and the lonely fly together". I and my lover walked along the lakeside, see the sun on the emerald lake surface of the golden wave, this is the sparkling? There was a layer of spirits draped in white yarn floating on the lake, and a closer look at the water vapor that evaporated on the lake. I remembered Meng Haoran's poem in Dongting Lake at that time: "The steaming cloud Mengze, the wave shakes Yueyang City .... sitting and watching the fishermen, there is nothing to envy the fish." What kind of mood is the scenery and lyrical support. I will definitely come back later.
Visit Huizhou West Lake, enter the East Gate, go west, walk Sudi to the east, turn to Sizhou Tower, see Dongpo Garden, worship Zhunti Temple, cross Yanxia Bridge, view the Crocodile Lake, visit Fenghui Garden to the northwest gate to the north, worship Yuan Miaoguan, enter Fanghuazhou to cross the Dragon Bridge, pass the point Cuizhou, cross the Jiuqu Bridge and return to Gushan East Po Garden. Follow the pagoda road east, through Sudi back to the east gate. When the sky was near Shen, Sudi was crowded with people, a lot more than in the morning, and I saw Fenghu and Luoshan, and it took nearly three hours. Fenghu is a general name for Huizhou West Lake in the Northern Song Dynasty. The current Fenghu District refers to the waters and related mountain boundary areas south of Pinghu and north of Nanhu after the formation of the five lakes.
