Development history

In the 28th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1600 AD), the Ming army attacked Yang Yinglong in Bozhou, where he was defeated. In 1935, the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army, which arrived in Zunyi during the Long March, severely damaged the Kuomintang Central Army. In the early years, Wujiang ferry was only connected by boats. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, floating bridges have been built. After liberation, large-scale highway bridges and railway bridges have been built, and the first Wujiang Hydropower Station with limestone landform in China has been built.

From January to march in 1935, the first front army of the central red army fought in northern Guizhou during the long march. It left behind a number of important battle sites, relics and revolutionary cultural relics on both sides of the Wujiang River, which are of great value in the history of the Communist Party of China, the army and the war. This rich revolutionary history and cultural heritage, such as the shining red star and the flaming torch, shines on this heroic homeland. The glorious course of the Red Army's rushing across the Wujiang River and bloody battle on the plateau has made the Wujiang River crossing the natural moat a revolutionary Holy Land eagerly yearned for by tourists at home and abroad. Among many red tourist areas in the country, it is a place with unique characteristics and irreplaceable important value.

In February 1935, the Red Army crossed Chishui for the second time and returned to the north of Guizhou Province. In the battle of Loushanguan, it defeated the army of Guizhou Province and won the first great victory since the long march. On February 28, it occupied Zunyi city again. When Zunyi was lost, Chiang Kai Shek was so frightened that Wu Qiwei, commander of Xue Yue's Department of the central army, led the 59th and 93rd divisions to move northward from Guiyang, crossed the Wujiang River, and rushed to help Zunyi in the starry night. On March 1, the two divisions of the central army of the Kuomintang fought back in an attempt to recapture Zunyi City. The main forces of the red army fought the enemy to death in the positions of Honghuagang, Laoya mountain and Chaqi mountain. The central army was defeated and the rout troops fled south along the Sichuan Guizhou highway. The warriors of the first and third army regiments of the Red Army took advantage of the victory and vowed to "drive the enemy down the Wujiang River to drink water".

Under the heavy blow of the Red Army, Wu Qiwei and his subordinates came to Wujiang River among the broken soldiers and refugees. They cried and fled the Wujiang River Crossing floating bridge under the escort of the guards. At this time, the soldiers of the 1st and 3rd corps of Red Army, who pursued along the east side of Sichuan Guizhou highway and the highway, had controlled the top of the mountain on the north bank and shot fiercely at the East and West wings of the floating bridge. At the same time, they blocked the way of the defeated soldiers fleeing along the river, and the broken soldiers came back to the water At the head of the pontoon on the north bank and on the beach, people and horses scrambled to get on the pontoon first. Wu Qiwei, fearing that the Red Army would overtake the Wujiang River, ordered to cut down the cables of the floating bridge. A large number of people fell into the waves and drowned countless people. More than 1800 central troops left on the north bank were captured by the Red Army. The Red Army seized a large number of supplies and weapons, including hundreds of heavy and heavy machine guns and 100000 bullets. The victory of the Wujiang pursuit war, the destruction of two entire divisions and eight regiments of the enemy by the Red Army, was the biggest victory since the long march. It drew a successful end to the Zunyi campaign and greatly inspired the fighting spirit of the Red Army. Chiang Kai Shek's central army's disastrous defeat in Wujiang, Zunyi, lamented that "this is a great shame since the National Army's pursuit.".

Main attractions

Wujiangdu power plant

Wujiang River is rich in water resources, with a total annual runoff of 52 billion cubic meters. Wujiangdu power plant is a major hydropower project built in the early stage of nine large hydropower stations in the cascade development of the main stream of Wujiang River. It is located in the valley 1.5 km upstream of Wujiang River Ferry. The power plant dam is a large arch dam, 165 meters high, 395 meters long and 30 meters wide. Three generating units are installed at the bottom of the dam, with a total installed capacity of 630000 kW and a total investment of more than 400 million yuan. The project was started in 1970 and completed in 1982, with an annual generating capacity of 3.34 billion kwh. Wujiangdu power plant is the first high dam hydropower station built in karst areas in China. It has created a miracle in the history of hydropower construction in China and has been highly valued by the United Nations Commission on dams.

In 2002, the Wujiang power station was reconstructed by expanding its capacity. A plant was built in the hinterland of Jiangbei mountain and two generating units were installed. After the expansion, the total installed capacity of Wujiangdu power plant reached 1.25 million kilowatts, with an annual power generation of 6.8 billion kilowatt hours. It is an important energy base for "west to East power transmission". The power plant is a national youth science and technology education base and an important project of industrial tourism.

Gaoxia Pinghu reservoir area

The main stream of Wujiang River is cut off by the dam of Wujiang power plant, forming a vast plateau lake. There are 68 km deep-water channels in the reservoir area, which go up the river to Liuguang Wharf in Xiuwen County, and run through three cities and five counties. There are seven Gorges, nine rocks and sixty sceneries. Many tributaries in the reservoir area form a wide water area, which has formed two water tourism golden lines: "Wujiang dam - Lianghekou - Huajue - Liuguang", "Wujiang dam - Dai Park - Shenshi Villa - Sansha bridge". The natural landscape of Wujiang River is composed of mountains, caves, stones and vegetation. Cliffs, waterfalls, immigrant villages, subtropical fruit forests, ferry piers, and aquatic families engaged in net cage fish farming make up the poetic scenery of the river gorge. In 2003, it has been rated as a national AA tourist scenic area. After the completion of Goupitan Hydropower Station in Yuqing County in the lower reaches of Wujiangdu, a quiet and beautiful downstream reservoir area will be formed. Several Red Army ferries in the lower reaches can be reached directly by boat, forming a water tourism line and transportation line.

Chashanguan

The shape of mountains and rivers is extremely dangerous. There is a folk saying that "traveling all over the world, I'm sad to go to tea mountain". The ancient pass was originally built at the Chashan pass. A stone level ancient path was dug from the Rock Bank of the pass and circled to the ferry. It is 1.5 km long. The river is rough and makes people shiver. On January 10, the Red Army established the QingKeng Revolutionary Committee in chashanguan, which was composed of eight people, including Qian Chenglong, to carry out revolutionary activities. In order to strengthen the vigilance along the river, the Red Army built fortifications and blockhouses on the guanshanliang of Chashan. One of the wounded and sick of the Red Army died in Chashan pass after ineffective treatment. The local people bought a big coffin and buried it at the pass. A memorial ceremony was held every year.

Cliff inscriptions

Wujiang mountain is high and deep, and the river is turbulent. It is a natural moat on the road between Sichuan and Guizhou. In ancient times, it had been floated by boat and could not build a bridge. Scholars carved some cliff carvings on the cliff, such as "Qi and min'e", "cliff", "cliff", "mountain sky water depth" and so on. In 1880, cen Yuying, governor of Guizhou Province, invited the imperial court to build an iron cable bridge in Angao between Guanyan and Huangyan of Wujiang River. It was built in three years. 19 iron cables, 18 feet long and 1.5 feet wide, stretched the two sides of the river. The iron cables were put on wooden boards and pedestrians, and the cost was more than 30000 Liang. The cable bridge was linked with Xiuwen and Zunyi, which was called Xiuyi bridge. In 1887 and 1893, two large floods broke the Tiesuo, which is now extinct. After the completion of the Wujiang Tiesuo bridge, to commemorate this major project, large cliffs of "Qianshui Feihong" and "Tiesuo Hengjiang" were engraved on the cliffs respectively, towering over the southern side of the power plant dam.

Bridge landscape

Wujiang town is the place where bridges gather. There are three bridges on the one kilometer long river, which constitute the unique cultural landscape of Wujiang town. On both sides is the double curved arch bridge of national highway 210, 300 meters long, 10 meters wide and 40.54 meters high, which was completed and opened to traffic in October 1972. The cable-stayed crane composite bridge of Guizun high-grade highway was built in xiahengjiang of Mazongling, with a length of 461 meters, a width of 14.5 meters, a main span of 288 meters and a tower height of 56 meters. It was completed and opened to traffic at the end of 1997. On the east side of the suspension bridge, a Sichuan Guizhou railway bridge with eight piers, 319.1 meters long and 45.04 meters high, was built and opened to traffic in 1965. Wujiang ancient ferry head, three bridges flying across, graben into a thoroughfare, become a unique landscape. In March 2005, the construction of the double track of GUI Zun expressway was started, and a grand new Wujiang Bridge was erected in the air at the ancient ferry of Wujiang River, flying over the mountains on both sides of the river, with a height of more than 100 meters. It is the most powerful bridge in the Wujiang River.

Tiziyan ferry

Tiziyan Red Army ferry is 30 kilometers upstream of Wujiangdu, with Jinsha County on the north bank and Xifeng County on the south bank. When the reservoir area of Wujiangdu power station was not filled with water, the original appearance of the ferry still existed, the water level increased by 100 meters, and the Red Army's ferry was submerged, but the stone path on both sides of the river was still there, and the peak of the ferry stood upright, which was the revolutionary essence of the Red Army
