Chaoran Building Night Scene Poetry Wine Seizes the Time
Three streams of water fish have nowhere to rely on when swimming in the air without any support
At 6 o’clock, the high-speed railway finally raced across the plain, but we couldn’t catch up with the moment when the Chaoran Building in Daming Lake, Jinan lit up. Unfortunately, I didn’t figure out how many high-speed railway stations there were in Jinan and chose one that was off the city center. Although our driver was familiar with driving for 40 minutes to the hotel, it was already 8 o’clock. But according to the idea of someone who follows the plan very well, I still took my parents and them to drop their luggage and go see Chaoran Building. After listening to my master’s advice, this area is only a scenic spot, so it’s better to take a taxi than to walk not too far. The four of us put on our jackets and walked towards Chaoran Building, passing through some commercial areas on the way. My dad and I also felt that it was really similar to Zhengzhou, especially in northern cities, especially provincial capitals, which may be similar. Walking along the road, I was looking for food. I originally wanted to eat at the restaurant we had listed, but the phone had already sold out. After all, it was the first day of the National Day, so it was inevitable to sell out early due to the large number of people. So I had to find a place along the way that also sold pork belly. I went in and ordered four servings of noodles to match the pork belly and ate it to my heart’s content. It was still salty, but the consumption was not high. We even joked that we would open a pork belly restaurant in Anyang. I remember before that the lights on the Chaoran Building were turned off at 9 o’clock, so after we finished our meal, we walked over and saw the building illuminated by willow trees from afar. Walking in, it was truly exquisite. This building, located on the banks of Daming Lake, was built in 2007 after a history of more than 700 years. It was named after my favorite poet Su Shi’s “Chaoran Platform”, with the intention of transcending the world and being open-minded in the midst of adversity.
The beauty of this building lies in its proximity to the water. After the lights are turned on, the reflection of the building in the water creates a charming contrast. The modern restored building is exquisite and lightweight, although tall, it is not bulky. The stunning lighting makes the building look like a golden shield, extraordinary and extraordinary, truly pleasing to the eye. It can be described as a half city lake with a dazzling first floor! You can buy tickets to climb the Chaoran Building and have a distant view before 9pm at night. Unfortunately, we missed the opportunity to go up late after admiring it below. From the crack in the door, we saw a huge wooden screen inside. If you are interested, you can still go and take a look. However, this building is already very beautiful from below, and photos are often taken from various angles. There are plenty of photography services available in front of the main building.
After carefully observing and taking photos around the building, we returned to the hotel along the lake and walked through Furong Street. The various shops and snacks on both sides were so lively that it was dazzling. Snacks from all over the country could be found, but unfortunately we had eaten too much on the board just now and walked back. There was also a small river along the way, and the water quality was clear. At night, we could also see the aquatic plants on the riverbed. It felt that Jinan was not a northern city, but a Jiangnan style. The next morning, which was the day we were preparing to return, we had breakfast near the hotel as usual, followed the crowd for 5 minutes and walked to Baotu Spring. After experiencing the most crowds in recent days, we opened the door at 9 o’clock and waited in line for a long time to enter the park. Various large springs and small springs circled around to Baotu Spring, and we had to queue up in batches to enter. After finally getting in, we found a small pond with three continuously rising streams of water. A green pool seemed to be embedded with three sea blue treasures. There are many willow trees around the spring, with slender branches hanging down and lush greenery resembling spring. It is truly the warmth of Lao She’s “Winter in Jinan”. The spring city as a whole welcomes autumn later than other northern cities at the same latitude. There are too many people around the spring, and it is tightly surrounded by three circles inside and outside. After taking a photo here, we came out to see other small springs. There are many such infiltration springs in the park, but Baotu Spring is renowned as the “number one spring in the world”. The earliest records of this were found in the oracle bone inscriptions unearthed in Anyang, but it became famous during the reign of Emperor Qianlong when he brewed tea in this spring in Jiangnan. This gave rise to the saying “If you don’t go to Baotu Spring, you can travel to Jinan empty”. Although other small springs are not as famous as Baotu Spring, they are full of fun and have a calmer lake surface than Baotu Spring. Small streams of water and bubbles slowly emerge, and the spring water is clear and transparent with excellent ecology.
Various colored koi fish in the spring swim slowly or remain still, living a worry free and comfortable life, just like Liu Zongyuan wrote in “The Little Stone Pond” in the Tang Dynasty: there may be hundreds of fish in the pond, all of which are like wandering empty without any support. The sunlight is clear, and the shadows on the rocks are motionless. Chu Er has passed away far away, with intermittent exchanges, as if enjoying himself with travelers. Playing in the spring water, there happened to be a tour bus at the entrance, so we got on the bus and went to see the Daming Lake during the day. The sky was clear and the lake surface was calm, with no large lotus leaves left behind. We could enjoy the cool breeze from the lake for a while. Although we had never seen the summer rain lotus by the Daming Lake, we were planning to end our tour and return home. However, the transportation was really bad, so we rode a shared bike 900 meters back to the hotel, picked up our luggage, and had some lunch downstairs. During the meal, we found that time was indeed a bit tight, and to make matters worse, we couldn’t get a taxi. The advantage of living in the scenic area is that it’s close to the scenic spot, but the disadvantage is that the traffic is not good and the driver can’t get in. We waited for more than ten minutes to get a taxi, and we also instructed the driver to be faster on the way. Fortunately, the old driver bypassed the congested road and successfully took the bus to the West Station. The high-speed rail and bus were both scheduled at the West Station, and I really forgot to study the station issue. Fortunately, everything went smoothly. I took a shuttle bus from the West Station to the nearby station on the highway to wait for the bus to depart. Fortunately, the return journey was all on the highway, and we arrived in Anyang in the evening. This is the end of our trip. I still look forward to opening the high-speed rail as soon as possible to facilitate travel between Shandong and Henan.
summary
Finally, I finished my travel notes after two weeks of laziness. Finally, I made a simple summary. As for traveling with my parents and elders, combined with the experience of taking them to Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macao last year, I listed Excel early this time to do a good job of strategy, booked all kinds of transportation and accommodation in advance, and tried to stagger the peak period. Although it was raining when climbing Mount Taishan, others were also basically perfect implementation of the plan. My parents were very cooperative and did not complain all the way, which must be praised to them. When taking my parents on a trip, we should not take public transportation if we can take a taxi. The most important thing is to save energy and time. It is important to have a good rest on the bus and get off the bus to play. So although my trip is relatively compact, we don’t feel tired. After climbing Mount Taishan Mountain, we don’t have weak legs and can’t move like what is said on the Internet. Although I came back to joke that this trip was very tight, it was just a J person completing a task-based trip, but I did play everything that should be played and explored. After all, time is limited and the experience is not bad. Experiential travel is not something that people like us who don’t have enough money and time can experience. What’s important about travel is the feeling! This National Day, there are friends from all over the world in my friends’ circle. On that day, I had nothing to do in the car and counted with my second aunt. I casually browsed my friends’ circle and found that there were as many as 20 countries and regions overseas. Looking at my friends’ circle, I could travel all over the world. I don’t know if I’m getting older or what’s going on. When I was young and studying in college, I no longer had the desire to save money for a budget trip. Apart from the North and South Poles, I still have ideas about some scenery. To me, scenery is not as important as the people around me. You know, at that time, I couldn’t find travel companions to travel overseas on my own. Nowadays, we may only go home twice a year for two major holidays. We just want to be with our parents, accompany them to see scenery they haven’t seen before, and use our own income to support the whole family for a childhood trip that our parents took us on. The feeling of mutual companionship cannot be compared to any beautiful scenery. Watching the beautiful scenery and smiling faces on our phones will add more love to each other!
