One lake captures the charm of Jianshan Mountain, half the city is landscape and half is poetry

To the west of Changsha, in the hinterland called Xiangjiang New District, there is an extremely beautiful and excellent situation with mountains and rivers leaning on each other. Its name is Jianshan Lake.

Compared with Yuelu Mountain, it does not have a rich literary atmosphere. Compared with the Xiangjiang River, it does not have the endless flow. However, it has a different kind of character of its own, one that is elegant and subtle!

The sentence " A majestic peak shows off the sky " in "Yi Tong Zhi" of the Ming Dynasty refers to this Jianshan.

Its other name is Guifeng. There are three peaks that are closely connected to each other. From a distance, it looks like a towering hump, or like a penholder placed horizontally in the clouds. It captures the graceful atmosphere of the sharp ridges and occupies the feng shui of the valley at the foot of the mountain. The lake has its name because of the mountain, and the mountain has an airy charm because of the lake.

Follow the ancient roads and hear the legends, a pool of clear water reflects the vicissitudes of life

If you want to truly understand Jianshan, you need a "mountain man" to guide you.

Lei Wanli, a retired teacher who grew up under Jianshan Mountain, is the loose leaf of this "Mountain Chronicle".

At the beginning of the mountaineering trip, what was in front of me was not the wide stone road, but an inconspicuous loess-paved path outside the wall of Jianshan Lake Park. This is exactly the beauty of exploring a quiet place.

Climbing up the mountain, I heard an ancient folk legend. There used to be a deep pool at the foot of Jianshan Mountain. During the day, you could see goldfish swimming with their babies in the water. At night, you could see golden ducks holding eggs as if they were hatching the moon. Occasionally, there would be strange sights of golden toads entering the sea.

This magnificent imagination is the simplest worship of this geomantic treasure land by people in the farming era.

Later, this area became the key point of Dongfanghong Farm's water conservancy - Jianshan Reservoir. After repeated large-scale construction and renovation, clear water continuously poured out of the ditch to irrigate thousands of acres of fertile fields, and also witnessed the process of huge changes from the pastoral scene of the farm to the modern urban area.

The interdependence of mountains and rivers becomes a painting, and pavilions and flowing water form a poem.

Today's Jianshan Lake has long since lost its old appearance of being a simple water conservancy project, and has transformed into an urban park covering an area of ​​3,000 acres.

When it was completed in 2014, the designers did not carry out large-scale renovations. Instead, they followed the interdependent and completely natural natural texture of the mountains and rivers, making the building seem to grow out of the landscape.

The landscape tour path specially laid for the lakeside is winding and winding. The water-friendly platform extends towards the center of the water, and there are also flowing water pavilions embellished among them.

On a sunny day, thousands of long strands of drooping willow trees on the shore catch waves of green water like threads. The green water waves reflect the modern buildings that are well-arranged, neat and not cluttered, truly achieving the state of "the scenery of the lake and the scenery of the mountains blending and harmoniously blending with each other."

No wonder some visitors were so moved by the scenery that they left poems and sentences in the garden to depict such a fusion of modern scenery and its own natural interest.

Looking up to the mountains and looking down to the water, science and technology elites live by the lake

The most amazing thing is that this landscape has not been reduced to a lonely and isolated bonsai due to urban expansion, but has instead become the "green heart" of high-end industries.

Changsha City's foresight in delineating a blue line for key protection is now bearing fruit.

Standing around the lake are Core City Technology Park and Qilin Technology Park, where the trends of mobile Internet, network security and Beidou industry are surging like waves.

The Changsha Institute of Computing and Digital Economy of Peking University has settled here, which has truly achieved the scientific research ideal of “looking up to see the mountain” and “looking down to see the water”.

Outside the window of the Changsha base, the place known as ZTE is facing the beautiful Jianshan Lake. The person in charge of the company expressed this emotion. This situation is a vivid practice of the so-called "leave the most beautiful scenery to science and technology innovation, and leave the best services to enterprises."

Implement the new model of "Two Mountains" and integrate industry, city and landscape into symbiosis

Walking along the lakeside, one side is surrounded by pristine waters with sparkling scenery, and the other side is modern industrial buildings showing a state of vitality. Such a strong visual contrast creates the unique aesthetic tension of Jianshan Lake.

At present, there are more than 20,000 business entities in the area, and nearly 10,000 companies stand on all sides like a lake, thus forming a high-end industrial economic belt.

Along the way, counting from the days when wild fishing was full of fun, to the current cutting-edge field of scientific and technological innovation, Jianshan and Jianshan Lake have witnessed a process together, that is, through careful and meticulous planning, how green waters and green mountains are directly transformed into gold and silver mountains that can drive development.

Dongfanghong Street is also based on the positioning of "Ruddy East, Linking the Xiangjiang River", and protects this beautiful homeland through a virtuous cycle of ecology and industry.

When you climb to the top, you can see the vastness of the world, and both types of trails are suitable for you.

When you reach the top of the main peak, you can clearly see all kinds of scenery in Changsha Hexi: looking to the south to the foothills of the mountains, which look like blue-black eyebrows, to the east to the Xiangjiang River, which looks like a white ribbon. Nearby is a matrix of high-rise buildings composed of many park buildings, and in the distance is the pastoral street scene presented by Wangcheng. The boundary between urban and rural areas has long been blurred here.

If you have a preference for adventure with wild fun, you can choose to start from outside the park and use your hands and feet to climb the dirt road paved with logs that is almost 60 degrees; and then feel the joy of conquering; if you prefer a leisurely and comfortable atmosphere, then you can go boating inside the park to watch the moon, or quietly enjoy the sunset on the viewing platform, which has a strange color like molten gold.

These two experiences, one hard and the other soft, are exactly like the character of this city. It has the depth of landscape and humanities, and it also has the speed reflected in the rise of industry.

When you are at the top of the mountain, those surrounding buildings with dreamy qualities will pull you back to reality in an instant, reminding you that this warm and vibrant land, nourished by mountains and rivers, is running towards the future with all its strength.
