Yixian Lake Park

Yixian Lake Park

Yixian Lake Park is located in the downtown commercial area of Shiqi District, Zhongshan City. The park is adjacent to Hubin Road in the East and Yandun mountain in the south. The predecessor of the park is a piece of farmland and pond. In 1959, it was excavated by local cadres and masses in Zhongshan through voluntary labor, so it is also known as "artificial lake park". In 1988, the municipal government invested nearly 3 million yuan to adjust and transform the park. In order to commemorate the great man Sun Yat Sen, the "artificial lake park" was renamed Yixian Lake Park.

The origin and development history of Yixian Lake Park

The formation of Yixian Lake Park has a development process. In the past, the juncture of farmland in Yuanfeng village and Dadun village used to be a cadre farm. During the anti rightist political movement in 1959, county and town cadres engaged in sports at night and worked during the day. The higher authorities expropriated 300 mu of land from Yuanfeng, and the cadres dredged three or four meters in sections according to the guidance of the construction workers. Due to many oyster shells at the bottom, the speed of cutting hands and feet was slow, and the staff of Shiqi factory and the staff of the county's units stationed in Qiqi also assigned tasks. After fighting, we finally dug 160 mu of lake, planted trees on the base, and built some small bridges and pavilions connecting the lake, which were called artificial lake, and belonged to the garden management office. At that time, we sold pond fish according to 160 mu of water surface area. Zeng Yao was a fish master, and the artificial lake also operated goldfish, saplings, bonsai and flower cards, plaques, bouquets, and wreaths. In the 1970s, we added Lianyi restaurant. Although some tourists, but it is cold.

In 1988, in memory of the great man Sun Yat Sen, the artificial lake was renamed yixianhu Park, with more scenic spots and improved facilities, and it began to have vitality, receiving nearly one million tourists every year.

In the 1990s, there are more than 2 million local and foreign people in Zhongshan. The number of people from abroad and visiting relatives and friends in Zhongshan has increased greatly. In addition to the implementation of weekends and long holidays, more importantly, the city's tourist attractions have opened one after another and made a lot of advertisements. They are linked with tourist groups to seek survival and development and strive for a share. In contrast, Yixian Lake Park is becoming more and more old, its charm has been greatly reduced, and its scenery is no longer beautiful. In the 10th five year plan, the municipal government is determined to invest a huge sum of money in another "major operation" of the park, and the public are very supportive of it. It is believed that Yixian Lake Park will coordinate well with Sun Xi pedestrian street Zhongshan Park and scenic spots on both sides of Qijiang River in the near future, and become a beautiful scenic spot in Zhongshan.

Reshape the leisure function of the park

As early as 2001, the preparatory work for the reconstruction of Yixian Lake Park started. Zhongshan entrusted Shanghai Huahui. Taiwan Jingqun Landscape Design Co., Ltd. carried out the overall landscape improvement planning and design of the park, and formed a preliminary transformation plan in April 2003. After many discussions and demonstrations, the landscape map of the whole area was formed. Yixian Lake Park renovation is divided into four phases. The first phase includes parking lot, sightseeing and rest area, landmark square, art activity square, sunshine lawn, entrance landscape square and landscape recreation area; the second phase includes under forest games and sports leisure area, water world, coconut forest leisure area, boat park area and community entrance; the third phase includes community life garden and fishing area The fourth phase project is to build the water system of Yixian Lake Park.

The first phase of Yixian Lake Park renovation project was officially started at the end of September 2004. The first phase of the reconstruction project is located in the southeast corner of Yixian lake, involving the East and South gates of the park. The reconstruction area is about 27000 square meters, and the total cost of the project is 30 million yuan. According to Feng Guoqiang, head of the urban construction section of the Municipal Construction Bureau, who is in charge of the reconstruction project of yixianhu Park, the reconstruction of yixianhu Park focuses on reshaping the leisure function of the park. For this reason, the architectural form of the park will be changed. A considerable part of the original Lingnan classical garden architectural style will no longer be retained, but will be replaced by a design style The park is more modern. After transformation, the park is mainly composed of open sunshine lawn and shady activity square to increase the space and place for public group activities.

Remove the wall and make it green for the people

On July 1, 2004, Yixian Lake Park was opened to the public free of charge. After the transformation, Yixian Lake Park not only retains the practice of free opening, but also further opens up. The park no longer retains the existing walls, connecting the whole park with the surrounding blocks, and the landscape is directly exposed in the eyes of the public. This transformation will make Yixian lake park become a rare open urban landscape green space in the old city. According to reports, the move to demolish the wall is more conducive to the affinity of the park and the harmony of the community environment.

In the process of removing the fence, the existing archway of Yixian Lake Park will be retained. As the main gate of the park, the archway of Yixian Lake Park was built after the park was transformed in 1988. According to Feng Guoqiang, head of the urban construction section of the Municipal Bureau of construction, the archway at the main entrance of yixianhu park will be preserved according to its original appearance in the park reconstruction, and necessary repairs will be carried out at the same time, so as to make the archway style more harmonious with the park environment after the reconstruction.
