It will be completed and opened before the National Day in 2009.

Fengzhu garden is located in the northwest corner of Pinghu District, West Lake, Huizhou City, Guangdong Province. It is surrounded by water on three sides and faces Linghu Lake by a 36 meter wide Crocodile Lake Road in the north. Fengzhu garden is a garden with Lingnan architectural characteristics in Guangdong Province. Through the excavation of the historical culture and cultural landscape of the West Lake, the garden creates a classical Lingnan Garden full of cultural connotation and poetic charm.

Development history

The name of the garden also has its origin. Fengzhu garden, Fengzhu, West Lake was originally called Fenghu, because the lake is rich in products, and the lake water can irrigate farmland and bring abundant harvest to the residents; Zhu, a small piece of land in the water, is called Zhu. There is another saying: Fengzhu is a small island in front of Fengshan. In ancient times, there used to be Fengzhu Pavilion, which collapsed early. Later, it was rebuilt to commemorate Jiang FengChen and built "jiangxiaozi Pavilion", which was named lotus Pavilion because of the lotus flowers growing all over the pavilion. Later, it was expanded and rebuilt on the former site of lotus Pavilion and built Lingnan Garden, which was called Fengzhu garden.

Fengzhu, formerly known as nianyudun, was originally a small island in the northwest of Pinghu. There is a pavilion on Zhu, which is named Fengzhu Pavilion. During the period of the Republic of China, it was rebuilt as jiangxiaozi Pavilion. According to Wu Ji, in 1916, Sheng Jingxi, Liang Zhiwen and Li daiqing from Nanhai built jiangfengchen Pavilion. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, in 1962, the West Lake Construction Committee rebuilt an antique pavilion with brick and wood structure at the former site of jiangxiaozi Pavilion. Around the pavilion, a pool was built and lotus flowers were widely planted. In summer, flowers were blooming around the pavilion, reflecting the pavilion“ Lotus Pavilion. Later, the lotus pavilion was rebuilt in 1979.

Fengzhu used to be a small area, between Pinghu Lake, crocodile lake and Mitsubishi lake, surrounded by water on all sides, with beautiful scenery. In 1979, in order to excavate the scenic resources and expand the tourist attractions, the West Lake Management Committee built a dike in the northwest of Fengzhu, connecting Fengzhu and Taohuaxi as a whole, and expanding the Fengzhu scenic spot from less than 2000 square meters to 26000 square meters (including some water areas). In 1987, the West Lake Construction Committee added two groups of Lake buildings (fish watching Pavilion and lotus watching Pavilion) with the theme of Pavilion, terrace, pavilion and pavilion on the southeast Bank of the lotus Pavilion, which improved the landscape of Fengzhu garden.

Zoning in the park

As an important part of the West Lake beautification and lighting project, Fengzhu garden is committed to becoming the "fifth famous garden in Guangdong" after Liangyuan, Keyuan, Yuyin garden and Qinghui garden. The 29 single buildings in the park adopt the Lingnan traditional architectural style and integrate the characteristics of Huizhou residential courtyards, with pink walls and dark tiles, simple and elegant. Covering an area of 30000 square meters, the park is divided into six scenic spots: main entrance area, Zhiyu area, culture and pleasure area, gutongguan area, liuxiangtingbao area and Dongwu Hexiang area. According to the standard of ancient architecture, the park has been built into a first-class garden scenic spot, which allows people to appreciate ecological culture in bird watching, fish watching, lotus enjoying, and exotic trees and rocks enjoying; absorb humanistic quality from literati's poetry, talent and filial piety; cultivate artistic accomplishment with Qinyun tea as friends and poetry, calligraphy and painting as companions; and display farming culture with agricultural daily necessities A project to benefit the people is a good place for cultural leisure.

Main attractions

Ancient Ficus microcarpa

On the left and right sides of the entrance area are two old Ficus microcarpa trees, which are rare ancient trees transplanted from other places, just like a treasure guarding Fengzhu garden.

Taihu lake stone

Taihu stone can be seen at the main entrance. Also known as "hole stone" and "rockery stone", it is a natural landform formed by the dissolution of limestone carbonate rocks on the surface by water and carbon dioxide and accompanied by mechanical action. It has various shapes and various postures, reflecting the beauty of "wrinkle, leakage, thin, transparent, beautiful and unique". This Taihu stone is formed naturally, and it is also the largest Taihu stone imported from Lingnan, weighing 63 tons. Its top is like a flying goose spreading its wings. Huizhou is known as the goose City.

Wulong Pavilion

The Five Dragon Pavilion stretches into the water and is composed of five square pavilions. The middle Pavilion is the largest, and the outer eaves are painted with red and colorful paintings. There are thousands of blue waves on all sides, just like the qiongge in the lake. It is a place where you can float like an independent person and ascend to the immortals.

Zhiyuxuan

It is taken from "Zi is not a fish, and you know the happiness of fish" in "Zhuangzi autumn water". It is said that Zhuangzi and Huizi are playing on the bridge of haoshui, and they see the fish wandering leisurely, so they have a philosophical debate. In zhiyuxuan, I don't argue about the troubles of the world. I just want to watch the pool quietly and enjoy the noise of the next world. Linyuan envies fish, but I don't know the happiness of fish.

On the right side, higher than other buildings, is the inviting moon building. Here, I can feel the romantic feelings of Li Bai, the "immortal poet", who "raises a glass to invite the bright moon and becomes three people in shadow". There is a great relief of Su Shi's "drinking is a guest, reciting the poems of the bright moon and singing the graceful chapter".

Wenchang Pavilion

Wenchang used to be the official name of the star, which was called Wenqu star among the people. In Taoism, Tiantian Wenqu star was born in Qiqu mountain of Zitong, Sichuan Province at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty as Zhang Yazi. The Jade Emperor ordered him to take charge of the fame and wealth of the world, so he became the emperor of Wenchang, the great God of Taoism. Today, the Wenchang Pavilion is built to display the poems and works of Huizhou literati Jiang FengChen. Jiang FengChen, a scholar of poetry, became a prosperous family. He is the best inheritor of Su Dongpo's culture. A sentence that "once Po Gong was banished to the South China Sea, the world did not dare to be a little Huizhou" has become an eternal masterpiece.

Yunling rockery group in Jingshui is a group of rockeries and waterfalls. The karst landforms are constructed by artificial stone. The main peak is camel shaped hump. Near the lake is longevity turtle shaped rockery. In addition, the twelve filial piety stories with more realistic significance will be extracted from the 24 filial piety pictures and carved on the rockery in the form of relief, so that tourists can enjoy the waterfall and learn the filial piety culture at the same time.

Lingbo painted boat and qinyunzhai

The boat is a kind of boat shaped building, which is close to the water. Its shape is similar to that of a real boat and harmoniously integrates with the environment of lotus pond. Lotus is also known as Lingbo fairy.

Space lotus

Space lotus is a new variety bred by Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences by Shenzhou spaceship. Through space microgravity, strong radiation of high-energy heavy particles, and high vacuum comprehensive mutagenesis, lotus has changed the genetic genes in white lotus. If the seeds are replanted, new mutation will occur, which has the characteristics of high yield, long growth period and good quality. The common lotus has three leaves and one flower, but the space lotus has one leaf and one flower, which is a high-yield crop. The lotus seeds are white, big and sweet.

On the jianyuanting bridge, we can make a detailed comparison between the space lotus and the common lotus. The space lotus leaves are very high, the lotus leaves are luxuriant, the lotus pods are erect, and the flowers are dazzling, while the common lotus is slightly inferior.

Lotus Pavilion

In the west of Pinghu, Fengzhu pavilion was built in ancient times, which collapsed early. In 1916, in memory of the famous Huizhou scholar Jiang FengChen, he built the "Jiang Xiaozi Pavilion" and planted lotus flowers all over the pavilion. In the hot summer, the lotus flowers were in full bloom and the fragrance was clear, so it was also called "Lotus Pavilion".

The base of the lotus Pavilion is a square structure, and the cornice on the top of the pavilion is tilted, which is similar to the lotus. It is a round shape, reflecting the theory of yin and Yang that the sky is round and the place is round. The lotus pavilion has been expanded and rebuilt from more than 2000 square meters to more than 5000 square meters.

Lotus Pavilion, also known as Jiang Xiaozi Pavilion, was built to commemorate the famous Huizhou scholar Jiang FengChen.

Jiang FengChen is a famous filial son in Huizhou. He resigned when his mother was seriously ill and went home to serve her. After his mother's death, he was even more sad, even in a crazy state of "no fury in winter, no debt in summer, no time to cry and no sleep at night". In ancient times, after the death of his parents, his children were required to mourn for three years. Jiang FengChen also built a thatched shed beside the tomb to keep filial piety for three years. In addition, he was in poor health and eventually died of self destruction.

Changyuan building

In changyuanlou, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the West Lake and the bird island.

The auspicious dance of crane and egret

Heyu is a small island in Pinghu Lake. The island is green and lush. There are many kinds of birds nesting here, such as egrets and cormorants. When the sun rises and sets, cranes and herons sing together and fly all over the sky, thus creating a picture of peaceful birds. It is gratifying to see the auspicious dance of cranes and egrets in the West Lake. The improvement of the ecological environment makes us happy. There is a peaceful and free bird paradise in nature.

A large number of egrets, such as heron, egret, cattle egret, little egret, pond egret and night egret, can be observed near the West Lake. All kinds of egrets in different growth periods can be seen.
