At the same time as the construction of the bridge ladder, there are also the "four famous buildings" under the Bayi Bridge, how will these four pavilions show a new look?

The Bayi Bridge spans the Gan River and is a major transportation artery connecting Honggutan District with Donghu District (Old Town). Looking at the development history of Nanchang urban area, there is a lot of content about the renovation of the Bayi Bridge, and the changes of this bridge have actually witnessed the development process of Nanchang City. In the minds of Nanchang people, every time the Bayi Bridge is renovated, it is a symbol of urban progress. According to the information of Nanchang Municipal Archives, on September 29, 1997, the new Bayi Bridge was completed and opened to traffic; In 2010, the Bayi Bridge was repaired and renovated ......
Early every morning, the traffic shuttling on the Bayi Bridge begins to wake up this hero city. Recently, many careful citizens have found that the east bridgehead of the Bayi Bridge is being renovated a few days ago, mainly the closed reconstruction of the steps. Could it be that the Bayi Bridge is about to usher in another transformation? In fact, the renovation of the ladder of the Bayi Bridge is closely related to the northward expansion project of the Tengwang Pavilion Scenic Area to return the river to the people, the shore to the people, and the scenery to the people.
Will the northward expansion of Tengwang Pavilion Scenic Area be extended to Bayi Bridge? On the morning of January 28, under the bridgehead on the east side of the Bayi Bridge, the construction of the step ladder and the photo check-in platform has begun to take shape. Workers are carrying out construction work, mainly installing the fence of the pedestrian ladder, welding the pillars supporting the platform, pouring concrete, etc. A construction worker at the site said that this is a new viewing platform, and it is also a platform for taking photos and checking in.
In this regard, Gong Zheng, project manager of the northern expansion project of Tengwang Pavilion Scenic Area, introduced that the renovation project of the Bayi Bridge is mainly to add two new steps under the "black cat" and "white cat" at the east side of the bridge for pedestrians and tourists to go up and down; At the same time, the existing two steps at the east side of the bridgehead have been renovated to widen the platforms, and a new photo check-in platform has been added on each side, with an area of about 30 square meters for each platform. "This photo check-in platform is a highlight of the renovation project, tourists and citizens can stand at the check-in point, they can take photos with the 'black cat' and 'white cat', and can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Ganjiang River and take scenic photos. Gong Zheng said.
The "Four Famous Buildings" were renovated
At the same time as the renovation of the steps and ladders of the Bayi Bridge, the "four famous buildings" under the Bayi Bridge were also fenced and renovated. At the scene, the three golden characters on a red pavilion are a little dazzling - "Yu Gutai", which is one of the "four famous buildings" under the bridge.
Gong Zheng introduced that there was originally a group of pavilions representing Jiangxi culture under the east side of the Bayi Bridge, which were "Yugutai", "Xunyang Building", "Peony Pavilion" and "Longzhu Pavilion", collectively known as the "Four Famous Buildings". "The renovation of the four famous buildings" is also part of the northern expansion project of the Tengwang Pavilion scenic spot, we have carried out different degrees of repair according to the mottled and falling off of the pavilion parts, repainted the doors, windows and columns, and also repainted the "Yu Gutai", which has now been basically completed, so that the appearance of the "four famous buildings" has been improved as a whole. Gong Zheng said.
Under the Bayi Bridge, there are still "four famous buildings"? Even Nanchang locals are not particularly clear. Even Mei Lianhua, a famous cultural scholar and professor in Jiangxi Province, lamented that the four pavilions hidden in the downtown area were indeed "neglected". He said that although there is no detailed record, these "four famous buildings" should have been built in the 90s of the 20th century, almost at the same time as the new Bayi Bridge.
Subsequently, the reporter walked around the pavilion, the "Dragon Ball Pavilion" has been repaired, the workers are dismantling the scaffolding, and the other three pavilions are also new.
Since the Bayi Bridge is a leisure center for nearby residents, many citizens are happy in the face of such changes.
The remodeling of the Bayi Bridge and these buildings is a great thing for our people, and it is also a good thing for the development of the city! Sister Zhu, who was exercising under the bridge, said with a smile.
Uncle Liu, who lives near Yangming Road, also said happily: "We have a lot of foreign tourists in Nanchang now, and the Bayi Bridge has a new look, and I hope it can also become a check-in place for outsiders, making Nanchang more and more popular!" ”
Add the cultural and tourism attributes of the city bridge
It has to be said that the northward expansion project of the Tengwang Pavilion Scenic Area to return the river to the people, the shore to the people, and the scenery to the people has really played a game of "big chess", and the characteristic streets and characteristic buildings of the Tengwang Pavilion Scenic Area have been included in the scope of transformation. In Mei Lianhua's view, this is also bound to become the most concerned event in the development of Nanchang's cultural tourism in 2024.
Let Nanchang's cultural and tourism resources become more and more abundant, and enhance the city's taste and value, "Adding check-in points on the Bayi Bridge is very creative and gives the city bridge a unique cultural and tourism attribute." In fact, it is not difficult for us to find that in some of the main tourism cities, there are some urban bridges, which are also cultural tourism check-in points, Nanchang with the Bayi Bridge step ladder transformation, testing the water to add cultural tourism value to the urban bridge, I believe it will open a new window for the development of urban cultural tourism. Mei Lianhua thinks.
In addition, in view of the renovation of the "four famous buildings" under the Bayi Bridge, Mei Lianhua believes that in addition to the renovation, the relevant departments should also redevelop and utilize them. After all, these 4 pavilions are all famous buildings on behalf of Jiangxi, which are very valuable for cultural tourism. For example, Gan opera can be displayed in the "Peony Pavilion" and theatrical performances can be introduced; In the "Dragon Ball Pavilion", the Jingdezhen ceramic culture ...... is displayedIt is believed that the "four famous buildings" can be "out of the circle", so that the cultural elements in them can be displayed, so as to attract more attention.
In the interview, Gong Zheng said that the stairs and photo check-in points of the Bayi Bridge will be renovated before the Spring Festival, and the general public and tourists can come to check in and take pictures. In addition, the renovation project of the "Four Famous Buildings" is nearing completion, and the relevant departments will further discuss the development plan of the "Four Famous Buildings" in the next step.
Whether it is the Nanchang landmark Bayi Bridge, or the gradually forgotten "Four Famous Buildings", it will be displayed in front of citizens and tourists with a new look in the near future, looking forward to your check-in and attention!
