Tianxingzhou

Tianxingzhou

Tianxingzhou, formerly known as Jiangxinzhou. Located in the middle of the Yangtze River between Qingshan Town, Qingshan District and chenjiaji, Jiangan District, Wuhan City, it is endowed with the original ecological river island landscape resources. It is surrounded by the Yangtze River, covering an area of about 26 square kilometers, 13 kilometers long from east to west and 2 kilometers wide from north to south. Tianxing island is a magnificent island with the Yangtze River divided into two parts. At the end of the island, there are two rivers rolling into one. In the middle, there are fine sand beaches, swaying reeds, cormorants, migratory birds, turtles, grass carp, catfish, etc. and the green grassland all over the island. All these make people yearn for it. In recent years, Tianxingzhou has been drifting downward at an average annual speed of more than 110 meters, and the speed of drift is accelerating. It used to be a desert island. After 1949, it was reclaimed and has been connected by fields. It is the melon and fruit production base of Wuhan City, rich in watermelon, muskmelon, pumpkin, wax gourd, Hongshan cauliflower, cabbage, cabbage, amaranth, cotton and other fruits and vegetables. There is a ferry on the north bank, and a wharf and car ferry on the south bank. Administratively, Tianxing township is subordinate to Hongshan District of Wuhan city.

Historical evolution

When the Second Yangtze River Bridge was built in 1989, Zhoutou in Tianxing was aligned with yujiatou, and Zhoutou was already aligned with Dazhou mall, with a gap of more than 2000 meters. In order to ensure the geological safety of the main pier of Tianxingzhou Yangtze River Bridge, a 4.3km long slope protection was built in the upstream of Zhoutou in Wuhan City, which not only made Tianxingzhou no longer drift, but also prevented the elevation of the downstream riverbed, which was conducive to flood control and flood discharge. The construction of the bridge has begun. In the second half of the year, the bridge piers will be erected and the steel beams will be erected. By that time, we will not be able to "enjoy the most beautiful scenery" on the island. Good morning, everyone. What we will see will be out of print!

Today, Tianxingzhou has a history of at least 800 years. Most of the earth temples and buildings in the history of Tianxingzhou are due to the torrential floods year after year. No one knows how many times it has been washed and washed by floods since its initial growth and formation. In particular, the flood in 1998 to scour, so that the whole country and even the people of Wuhan still remember.

Tianxingzhou is located in the middle section of Qingshan gorge in Wuhan. It is formed by the natural alluvial sediment of the Yangtze River. It is the result of thousands of years of evolution and change of the riverbed and channel of the Yangtze River. Because it is a new island, it was called "Tianxinzhou" at first, and later renamed "Tianxingzhou", hence its name.

Dong Hong, deputy head of Tianxing Township, said that the island shaped like a cucumber on the map was cut by water and formed in the 1990s. At present, Tianxingzhou has become one of the largest river centers of the Yangtze River. It faces chenjiaji, Hankou in the north, Qingshan Industrial Zone in the south, and is 700 meters away from the bank. Zhoutou is only 5 kilometers away from the Second Yangtze River Bridge, and Zhouwei faces Yangluo development zone across the river. "The total area of the continent is 26 square kilometers, more than 2 square kilometers of Macao."

According to the records of Wuhan archives, Tianxingzhou has been inhabited since the 4th year of Tongzhi, and the period with more people began about 200 years ago. Zeng Xiangwei, an Aboriginal who is familiar with Zhoutou's history and director of the party office of Tianxing township government, said: "it is usually in the rainy season that fishermen come up to rest their boats and dry their nets. Slowly, some people gather here. They farm their land in the dry season. Therefore, 80% of the people on Tianxing island are the descendants of fishermen. They depend on farming and fishing for a living, and fishing boats are the only way in and out. Their traditional sources of survival are mainly three: "birds flying from the sky, fish swimming in the water, crops growing in the field."

2. Ramp of Tianxingzhou Bridge

There are two ramps on the right after getting on the bridge from chenjiaji in Jiangbei. The first is the ramp for getting off the bridge and getting off the island, and the second is the ramp for getting on the bridge and getting off the island. Usually, the ramp for getting into the island is closed because it belongs to the flood control channel. At this time, you can go to the second ramp to get off the island retrogradely, spin down the slope, slow down, and pay attention to the vehicles coming from the opposite side.

Friendly tips

Since there is nothing to sell outside the embankment of Tianxingzhou Island (there is a village but it is far away from the shore of the island), please bring enough food, drinking water, wine and entertainment tools. After you go to the island, find a flat and clean place to camp, dig a pit, buy some chopped firewood from the local villagers, light the fire, put it on the shelf, and then you can cook and drink!!

recommend

Going there in June and July is the ripe season of watermelon. It's very sweet and the water is good. Sitting in the watermelon field at night, facing the bright moonlight and the gentle river wind, watching the gurgling water, listening to the croaking frogs, watching which watermelon is lovely, and eating it in the sea when you pick it up, ha ha, it must be very pleasant. It's even more romantic to take your girlfriend with you.

Future development

plan

In 2009, Wuhan municipal government commissioned Wuhan urban planning and Design Institute, American Yidao Environmental Design Co., Ltd., Peking University and other units to jointly design "Tianxingzhou ecological oasis regulatory planning". At the expert review meeting held the day before yesterday, Wen Fubo, academician of Chinese Academy of engineering, Liu Xingtu and other six experts believed that the plan reflected the requirements of protective development of ecological oasis, better dealt with the relationship between flood control safety and tourism development, the technical route of planning results was clear, the function orientation was clear, the concept was advanced, and the results were relatively complete. After discussion, it was unanimously adopted.

location

According to the plan, Tianxingzhou is positioned as an ecological oasis in the middle of the Yangtze River. With the core development concept of "ecology, sports and tourism", it will be built into four parks: Tianxingzhou ecological Expo Park, cultural and creative park, sports park and ecological conservation park. The construction projects include golf course and training ground, wetland park, Yangtze River Bird Park, Yangtze River aquarium, modern theme farm, pet base (including dog running field), old Wuhan style street, jiangtan amusement park, farmhouse, etc. After completion, it will become a tourism oasis in Tianxingzhou, which is supported by tourism and integrates vacation, leisure and sightseeing.

future

In August 2009, Hongshan District and Singapore Xinda company reached a cooperation agreement and signed a contract on the development of Tianxingzhou. The two sides plan to raise 10 billion yuan to develop the green eco-tourism industry of Tianxingzhou.

Wu Yong, Secretary of the Hongshan District Party committee, said that he would strive to build Tianxingzhou into the back garden of Wuhan City in a few years, so as to provide a harmonious and beautiful garden for people's vacation and leisure.

structure

The biggest structural feature of Tianxingzhou is that it is surrounded by water and isolated from its surroundings. This kind of natural barrier not only isolated traffic, but also isolated industrialization. Today, in the atmosphere of increasing industrialization, it has become a rare piece of pure land. There was no erosion of industry and Commerce on the island, and a rare farming civilization was preserved. It also retains the style and features of the previous rural changes since the founding of the people's Republic of China. There are informed farms in Zhoutou, relics of people's communes in Zhouzhong, and self built houses in different periods after the founding of the people's Republic of China. These are rare historical relics. If you tear it down, Wuhan will lose another piece of memory!

vision

If Tianxingzhou makes use of this structural feature to become the time capsule of Wuhan and even the whole country, it is of great significance to protect the agricultural civilization and SINOCHEM civilization.

In addition, as a comparative existence of industrial civilization, it also has an extremely important role of cultural tracing and historical mirror for future generations. Experience the living environment and wisdom of ancestors in play!
