Dream Lake scenic area generally refers to Fuzhou Dream Lake scenic area

Fuzhou Dream Lake scenic area is a large recreational lake park in Fuzhou City, Jiangxi Province. Dream Lake is an artificial lake built and excavated by Fuzhou municipal Party committee in 2007. At first, it was named "artificial lake" and then it was named "Dream Lake" after the development of ecological park.

On May 21, 2014, the National Tourism Administration recently publicized 198 national 4A scenic spots to be approved. Among the scenic spots listed in the publicity, Menghu scenic spot has passed the publicity and has been officially rated as national AAAA scenic spot.

History and culture

Located in the west of Fuzhou City, Menghu lake is a "man-made lake" excavated from the low-lying land flooded by floods in the past ten years. The lake covers an area of 2006 mu. The road and dam around the lake is 8.1 km long, with a total investment of 220 million yuan. It is a large-scale comprehensive water conservancy project integrating flood control and drainage, leisure and entertainment, tourism and commerce, and landscape greening. According to the drama plot of Linchuan four dreams, the lake area has built more than 10 landscapes, such as dream stone, dream Pavilion, dream bridge and dream island (dream garden).

With a total investment of 220 million yuan, Fuzhou Dream Lake scenic area started construction on April 28, 2007 and was completed in September 2008. With a total length of 8.1 km, covering an area of more than 3100 Mu and a surface area of more than 2006 mu, the lake is 3000 meters long, the widest part of the lake is more than 1000 meters, the design water level is 41.12 meters (Wusong elevation), and the total storage capacity is 14.16 million cubic meters. It is a large-scale comprehensive water conservancy project integrating flood control and drainage, leisure and entertainment, tourism and commerce, and landscape greening. It is the largest urban "artificial lake" in the province. The reason why it is named "Dream Lake": first, it is called "four dreams of Linchuan" by Tang Xianzu, a famous person in our hometown. It expresses feelings with dreams and creates scenery with dreams; second, for many years, people in Fuzhou have had the dream of repairing the lake and harnessing the water, which finally makes the dream of the people in the urban area come true. According to historical records, in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Jianxun, the governor of Fuzhou, excavated hundreds of acres of "Nanhu" in the southwest of the city, which became a scenic spot at that time. Zeng Gong's Nanhu journey, Xie Yi's Nanhu quatrains, and Zeng Jili's Nanhu all had vivid and colorful freehand brushwork. Unfortunately, the "Nanhu" was destroyed, and the place names of "houhutian" and "nanhu road" are still left in the city. It can be said that today's Dream Lake not only interprets the past of "South Lake", but also has a new dream and hope. After the completion of the Dream Lake, the original low-lying land with nine floods in ten years has not suffered any more floods.

In order to give more historical and cultural elements to Menghu scenic spot, more than 10 landscapes including Mengshi, Mengting, Mengqiao and mengdao have been built according to the drama plot of Linchuan four dreams. Among them, mengdao, also known as "Mengyuan", is the most distinctive one.

The project is located in the West and Zhongling sub district office of Linchuan District, Fuzhou City, adjacent to Donghua University of technology in the East, Jingfu Expressway in the west, Linchuan Avenue in the South and huangqiaozha at the intersection of Linshui and Fuhe River in the north. The total planning area is 2300 mu, including 885.7 mu of lake water, 205 mu of central island, 663.03 mu of peninsula, 181.64 mu of road and 322.67 mu of green belt. The designed water level of the lake is 41.12m (Wusong elevation), with a total storage capacity of 14.16 million cubic meters. The total investment of the project is 220 million yuan. The construction of the project has a positive and far-reaching practical significance for opening the urban framework of Fuzhou, improving the investment environment and promoting the local economic development.

Structure of scenic spots

Mountains are beautiful if they have forests, and cities are beautiful if they have water. In order to build a green ecological city, in 2007, Fuzhou municipal Party committee and government started to excavate "man-made lake" (later called "Dream Lake") in Gaoqiao, a low-lying land with nine years of waterlogging and flooding in the west of the city, and carried out planning, design and construction together with Fenggang river treatment (brief introduction below). After completion, the "artificial lake" connects Fenggang River on the top and Fuhe River on the bottom, forming a bay of clear water with Fenggang River, which is surrounded by the city, creating a beautiful scenery of "water in the city, city in the water, city water contrast" and "waves wave, people are drunk, people in the city are half blue", which makes people forget to return and become a beautiful landscape in the city.

Main attractions

The largest landscape in Fuzhou Dream Lake scenic area is dream Lake Square, which covers an area of 129 mu. It mainly promotes Linchuan culture and installs 329 landscape lamps, including 34 cultural landscape lamps. The cultural landscape lamp is inlaid with the excellent poems of the ancient sages praising Fuzhou, which is full of strong Linchuan culture. In the center of the square, there are four historical pictures with a width of 1.66 meters and a total length of 63.6 meters, among which the memorabilia of Fuzhou are engraved. The dream of hydrophilic platform and cruise ship terminal further shorten the distance between people and water, strolling green waves, the heart is also happy. In the morning and evening, the people in the pavilions perform the folk "four dreams of Linchuan". In the water, 31 groups of fountains come and go one after another, beating with the music, especially at night to create a moving picture of the water.

Menghu also highlights the greening ecology, with a greening area of more than 170 hectares, 650 kinds of plants and more than 400 kinds of plant shapes. All kinds of shrubs and grasslands are interspersed with Cinnamomum camphora, Photinia, Osmanthus fragrans, plum blossom, Ginkgo biloba and other valuable plants, which not only reflects the ecology and naturalization, but also has rich landscape levels, attracting groups of egrets to play in the lake, with green trees dancing everywhere, birds singing and flowers fragrant. In the future, cherry blossom area, peach blossom area, chrysanthemum area and plum blossom area will be set up to upgrade the greening and form a beautiful picture of "flowers in four seasons".

Menghu is also a connecting canal, leading to another key project of water control Xiucheng in the urban area - West Lake. The West Lake, once so polluted that it couldn't even keep fish alive, has made a magnificent turn since Menghu brought live water, and has repeatedly found the peach blossom jellyfish, the "treasure of water in China".

When the dream lake was built, the Fuzhou municipal Party committee and government held the "Fuzhou National Day lantern show and large-scale fireworks show" here. A large number of people went to the lake several times to enjoy the charming night scenery of the dream lake. On November 9, 2013, the first "Hubin No.1 Cup" environmental protection dream lake swimming activity was held in Fuzhou City. The swimming teams came to participate in the activity were from Zixi, Nanchang, Dongxiang, Guangchang, Jiujiang, Nanfeng, Jinxi, city No.1 and City No.2. It not only improves the ecology of Fuzhou City, but also becomes an important place for Fuzhou citizens to have a rest, visit and activity. Menghu construction and Fenggang river treatment project are also applying for Jiangxi living environment model award.
