Famous historical and cultural city - Dongguan
Dongguan, also known as "Guancheng", is located 55 kilometers southeast of Guangzhou, on the east bank of the Pearl River estuary, and enjoys the title of "International Garden City". Dongguan is also a famous historical and cultural city in Guangdong, with a county history of more than 1,700 years, which was established during the Three Kingdoms period more than 1,700 years ago, and is an important birthplace of Lingnan civilization, the beginning of China's modern history and the pioneer of reform and opening up.
Ying'en Gate Tower is the landmark building of Dongguan, it is located in the center of the city, was built in the Ming Dynasty Hongwu 17 years (1384), is one of the four city gates in the southeast and northwest of Dongguan City at that time, so it is commonly known as the West City Tower so far. There was a city wall to connect Taoist Mountain, South City, Bomeng Mountain, East Gate, North Gate, a total length of 1299 zhang, surrounded Dongguan City, solid and tall, majestic and magnificent.
The mist and rain, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers are my impressions when I first arrived in Dongguan. I didn't know the camphor tree before, and I didn't know that this landscape tree not only means longevity and good luck, but also can make incense and medicine to repel mosquitoes. Magnolia flower is the city flower of Dongguan, elegantly blooming on the delicate branches, the white calyx is like a holy elf, curling posture, not only the charm is unique, each petal seems to condense a faint calmness, so that the city is bathed in fragrant fragrance.
When shuttling through the crowd of traffic, strolling along the moat, the clear river lingers in the eyes. Under the prosperity of the city, there are always some people, some scenes, and a region, representing the accumulation of the city and flowing with the blood of hundreds of thousands of years of culture.
Huangqi Mountain, a well-known name, is not only a beautiful scenery for Dongguan, but also the business card of the city and the convergence of the humanistic spirit. Huangqishan City Park is different from the cookie-cutter green belts in the city. Those well-preserved ancient trees, each with their own posture, have been beaten by wind and rain for decades or even hundreds of years, and still stand quietly there, standing out of their unique wind bones. As the first of the "Eight Views of Dongguan", Huangqi Mountain has a rich cultural history, which records not only the civilization of a city, but also the development history of a city.

Compared with those mountains that do not eat the fireworks of the world, Huangqi Mountain has a strong human touch, and its charm is naturally superior. Such a mountain is undoubtedly desirable. "Born without avoiding the world, out of the world without being vulgar", the cultural significance of Huangqi Mountain precisely represents the height of life that contemporary urbanites yearn for.
After dinner, when we came to Huangqishan City Park, people talked and laughed, leaving the tiredness of the day to a quiet and fragrant night. Climbing to the top of the mountain, the flaming red lanterns are like the morning sun, warming everyone. Standing on a high place, looking at the whole Dongguan, the bright lights are connected into a line, illuminating the night, I suddenly feel that standing at the highest place, but it seems so small. When tears are intertwined with starlight, the lost can also find their way home in love and sorrow. If youth is a fine wine made with the smell of flowers, blood plasma and sweat, then Dongguan is a cup of fragrant liquor in youth.
A tree, a bird, a road, a lychee forest, and a lake are all natural gifts.
Impression of Shuilian Mountain Forest Park
Shuilian Mountain Forest Park, also known as Dongguan Shuilian Mountain Park, is located at No. 18, Shuilian Park Road, Shuilian Community, Nancheng Street, Dongguan City, covering an area of 6,000 acres, the altitude of the highest peak "Shuilian Pavilion" is 378 meters, and there is "Shuilian Mountain Happy World" on the left side, and its playthings are dizzying. Here to eat, drink and play, watch the mountains and rivers, sports and fitness ......The whole nine yards. When I came to the park, I walked around and explored the wonders. Walking up from the parking lot, you will find the main entrance to the park and the entrance to the mountain. There are two routes, the main road is the "Shuilian Cave" with the torii and the secondary road is the "Butterfly Valley", but either road is "all roads lead to Rome" - both to the "Shuilian Pavilion" and to other tourist attractions, such as the "Shuilian Cave".
Our first small goal when we came to this mountain was "Phoenix Mountain". It's just a small hillside, with sparse foliage on both sides of the stone steps, emerald and bird-like, and warblers chirping. It didn't take a few minutes to reach the top, and it was really amazing to see that the mountain was beautiful for a while, and the stalk was fluttering and broken for a while. After a while, we arrived at the magnificent ancient temple square, the square is stacked on top of each other, and the first thing that catches your eye is the people who practice Tai Chi, dancing guns and sticks. There is an ancient "Shuilian Ancient Temple", and the turtle and snake pool is cold and cold, and the Lingyong and the eucalyptus are looming. A big banyan tree is wisps, intertwined, indifferent, and indifferent, but also a forest alone. Outside the temple is a wide cement road, rows of ** bamboos stand proudly, humble like a valley, the breeze is light, and it is quiet.
Climb along a slope that is half ladder and half flat. The sun does not move the dial, the peak loop turns, the grass and trees are green, the gurgling water, the chirping birds, the original "Shuilian Cave Sky" is faintly enough, close at hand, but we don't go down for the time being, and then watch the sea when we return.
As time passed, the noise of the birds faded away, and beads of sweat the size of our beans fell on the mossy stairs.
Passing by the "Shuying Pavilion" of Zhanyunzhiqi, I suddenly came to the "Peng Gongtai" of seclusion, which is a courtyard composed of curved corridors. It is said that Shuilian Mountain was originally called Pengtong Mountain, according to legend, during the Western Han Dynasty, Peng Gong drank in this mountain perched valley, and finally cultivated into a positive fruit and ascended to immortality after a few years, the legend of Shuilian Mountain can be seen.

In this wide courtyard, the statue of Peng Gong is about to come out, restoring the scene of the ascension of the immortal road in the past. He dragged the iron fan with his left hand, rode the phoenix and crane, hugged the simplicity and sincerity, or thoughtful, or attached to his homeland. This casts a veil of mystery on Shuilian Mountain, which makes people fascinated and explores the secluded.
Further up, we finally "reached the peak" and arrived at a quiet corner of the "Shuilian Pavilion" tower. This four-storey immortal mountain pavilion Zhu Yongbi tile, painting carved beams, is like a magnificent treasure hall pearl building, although a little old is far away, but still has the power of the tiger wolf. The people at the top of the tower were noisy, and everyone was scrambling to take pictures, laughing and laughing. Some people sigh excitedly, and some people hum youth ballads casually, contented. We couldn't contain our excitement and rushed in and climbed to the top of the building. This place is the tuyere, the whirring of the wind, endless. Looking around, the mountains are stacked, the mountains and rivers are colorful, and the dazzling array is dazzling; Bird's-eye view of Sili, the entire Dongguan urban area is high and low, and the flowers and the colorful scenery can be seen at a glance.
Time is always silently passing by our fingertips, and soon we will be descending the mountain. Unconsciously, we left the "Tianchi" and came to the iron cable guardrail, the stream is bubbling, the trees are vying for glory, the grass is green, and the grass is green. When I walked to the end of the path and turned a corner, I suddenly felt that the willows were bright and bright, and it was another scene. Sure enough, the "Shuilian Cave Heaven" is far away in the sky and close in front of you.
It is a small natural heavenly pond and a place of interest. The towering Ming Dynasty Zhengsanpin**, Dongguan Chen Lian's "Water Curtain Cave" is pasted on the stone railing, and the pen "Water Lian Cave Sky" and some poems are carved and axed on the cliff by a knife and axe, which is dazzling. The clear blue sky, sparkling waves, pavilions and pavilions, water and sky, is simply a paradise.
Go down further and come to Chen Lian Stone Carving Theme Park - Dream Creek Exploration. He is the author of Dongguan local important literature "Qin Xuan Collection", only to see him wearing a black gauze hat, holding a hat in his arms, lifelike, as if through time and space, let people see his history and style in Nanjing when he served as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites. Secluded green bamboo, small bridges and flowing water, chiseled and secluded, make the best use of things, and take in the beautiful scenery all the way, which is wonderful.
There are really a lot of scenery in Shuilian Mountain, there are countless pavilions and pavilions, all the way, all the way, the scenery is overwhelming. Soon, we came to the wooden plank road with bamboo buds and pine trees on both sides, and saw two small heavenly ponds. Running and running, passing through the "garden in the garden" to the "Lianquan Pavilion" that rises from the ground and is majestic. This fairy mountain Qiong Pavilion has four layers, it carves the fence jade, it is scattered, the eaves are phoenix, the wonder is magnificent, it can be called the dragon tower of the phoenix pavilion. The roadside is lush with forests and bamboos, frogs are chirping, cicadas are noisy, hundreds of thousands of sounds, and gurgling streams. If this palace is not the Beique Zhu Palace, then with its majestic and brilliant shape, it is known as a palace and a monumental masterpiece, and it is beyond reproach, right?
Climb to the top of the building and overlook the earth, the sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps; The nine-hole bridge is beautiful, the Shuilian Mountain Reservoir is glorious, and the beautiful scenery of the good day is unobstructed, and it is beautiful.
It is comparable to the garden of Asgard
Someone once commented on Dongguan's Keyuan: the blessed land of the world can be envied, and the garden boasts of the heavenly fairy palace. Standing outside the courtyard gate of Keyuan, you can see the viaduct on Keyuan Road, which passes through the air from the gate, leaving only about 100 square meters of space in front of the gate of Keyuan. The gate of Keyuan is also very small, similar to the door of a large family in the past, the tall courtyard wall deeply locks the scenery inside Keyuan, if it is not a tall old banyan tree in front of the door, and the plaque of "Keyuan" on the door, no one will pay attention to this place, and it is difficult to think that it was one of the "four famous gardens" in Guangdong.
In fact, the name of the "Ke Garden" attractions, in the country and Beijing, Suzhou and other places also have, Dongguan Ke Garden compared with them, the volume or garden area can only be regarded as a little brother, but the fame of Dongguan Ke Garden is a little bigger. As early as the Qing Dynasty, known as the "four major gardens in Guangdong", there were Qinghui Garden and Liang Garden in Foshan City, Keyuan Garden in Dongguan City, and Yuyin Mountain House in Panyu City. The fact that the garden can be listed among them shows that the value of its garden is indeed extraordinary.
Dongguan Keyuan was built in the 30th year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty, that is, in 1850 AD, and was basically completed after 14 years. The owner of the garden is called Zhang Jingxiu, a native of Dongguan, the most ** rank to Guangxi according to the prosecutor, similar to the current judiciary**, and later because he was dismissed, he returned to the countryside to build a "Ke Garden".
There are many versions of the origin of the name "Ke Garden", and legend has it that after Zhang Jing built his own garden, he named the garden "Yi Garden" according to his own understanding, saying that he was very satisfied with the painstaking efforts spent in the past 14 years. After the completion of the entire garden, Zhang Jingxiu invited local celebrities and gentry to hold a banquet and let everyone have a good start for their "Yi Garden". After the banquet, Zhang Jingxiu sent these literati out of the gate and casually asked for everyone's views on the "Yiyuan". Maybe everyone drank too much wine that day, maybe in Guangdong, there are many such private gardens, and no one could understand Zhang Jingxiu's question at that time, but just opened his mouth and said: You can ......
After sending off the guests, Zhang Jingxiu was still thinking about those words of "yes", yes, doesn't it mean that "Yiyuan" is good, why not change "Yiyuan" directly to "Keyuan"? This is not only close to human feelings, but also has a unique garden name. In this way, the name Keyuan was officially called.
The original Keyuan is said to be only three acres and three points of land, and if it is converted into an area, it is only more than 2,200 square meters. However, in this narrow space, Keyuan has a total of one building, three bridges, five pavilions and five pools, six pavilions and six terraces, fifteen rooms, and nineteen living rooms of various styles. Its name is also mostly named after the word "Ke", such as Kelou, Kexuan, Ketang, Kezhou, etc. The building of the whole Keyuan is a terrazzo blue brick structure, and most of the ground adopts the unique brown and red brick steps in Dongguan, supplemented by flower platforms, flower paths, rockeries, etc., the essence of ancient Chinese gardening can be found in the garden. The tallest building in the garden is called "Kelou", and it is 17 years high5 meters, along the stone steps on the side of the building can climb the top floor of the invitation pavilion. The attic is surrounded by bright windows, flying eaves spread wings, and the scenery of the Dongjiang River can be overlooked by the window. The mighty Dongjiang River, located to the west of Keyuan, is said to be connected to the Dongjiang River in Keyuan. If guests from afar come along the Dongjiang River, they can take a flat boat to reach Keyuan. This nearly 18-meter-high building can be regarded as a landmark building in Dongguan during the Qing Dynasty.
In the Ke Garden, I saw an ink painting that used to be copied from the Ke Garden, and the Ke Garden in the painting was winding and secluded, and the scale was very large. The tall Invitation Mountain Pavilion, like standing out from the crowd, stands tall in the garden. The back of Keyuan is Kezhou, and the continent is the lake, and the few flat boats rowing on the lake are like the finishing touch, making Keyuan full of vitality.
Today's "Kelou" is still open to tourists, and visitors can go down the stairs on the side of the building to reach the Inviting Mountain Pavilion. It's just that most of the buildings around it are built higher, standing on the Invitation Mountain Pavilion, you can no longer see the endless scenery of the past, and the beautiful Dongjiang River is also hidden between the buildings.
The architectural design of Keyuan also seems to be elegant everywhere. It is said that Zhang Jingxiu found a guqin from the Tang Dynasty, so he built a collection building next to the highest invitation mountain pavilion, which was specially used to collect this guqin, and the name of the building was called "Lvqi Building", named after the guqin called "Lvqi". Now people go to Keyuan to play, and they can also meet the staff playing guqin music in the building. What really made Keyuan famous was Ju Chao and Ju Lian, the founders of the Lingnan School of painting in the Qing Dynasty. The second "residence" has lived in Zhang Jingxiu's Keyuan for nearly 20 years. They studied painting in Keyuan, creatively painted flowers and birds by hitting powder and water, and became the originator of the Lingnan School of painting, and taught it in Keyuan, making Keyuan the birthplace of a generation of famous craftsmen.
Since the completion of the garden in 1864, it has a history of more than 150 years, and the garden has long since changed its appearance. Today's Keyuan has not only expanded a lot in area, but also changed its function from a single private garden to a public park. (Wen Shen Haibin).
