brief introduction

Ningbo rihu Park, also known as "rihu Park", starts from Jiangbei Daqing South Road extension in the East, ends at Tongtu road in the south, Hubin Road in the West and Huancheng North Road in the north, with a total area of 46 hectares and a water area of about 15.5 hectares. It is an open city park and the largest park in the city. In addition to the rippling rihu lake, there are artificial streams throughout the park. In the green area of 14.6 hectares, a large number of trees such as Ginkgo biloba, Metasequoia glyptostroboides, Cinnamomum camphora and Albizia julibrissin are planted, and the forest is dense.

The main attractions of rihu park are Taoxi fish watching, golden beach, Eden, forest oxygen bar and waterfront trail.

Fish watching in Taoxi: the scenic spot is rich in water system with twists and turns of streams, islands and fish ponds. There are more silver carp in the stream, and peach blossom and other flowers and trees are planted near the water. When the flowers fall, the flowers are colorful, showing the artistic conception of "fish body, fish body and flower".

Golden Beach: the scenic spot simulates the natural coastal beach landscape with smooth curves, and uses yellow sand to pave the floor for visitors to play and water. Garden of Eden: with thatched cottage, curved wooden bridge and reed as the main landscape factors, it highlights the diversity of wetland plants, and reflects the quiet and simple natural scene of reed undulating, birds singing and insects flying, and frogs singing. Forest oxygen bar: several islands are connected by elevated wooden plank road, with dense arbors planted on both sides. People walk in the forest and have a dialogue with nature. There is a unique space for amorous feelings and association. Waterfront Trail: located in the center of rihu Park, a meandering artificial dike, ridi, naturally divides rihu lake into two water surfaces, one large and one small. The water platform on both sides provides visitors with rest and sightseeing space.

In the history of Ningbo, there were two lakes, the sun and the moon. Zhang Dai, a essayist in the late Ming Dynasty, described the beautiful Shuanghu lake with delicate brushwork in his Tao An Meng Yi. Yuanri lake had already dried up, and it was out of people's sight in the last century. The site is located at the junction of Jiefang South Road and Lianqiao street in Ningbo City.

In 2002, the relevant departments of Ningbo built a large-scale urban park near jiangbeiwantou, which is now "rihu Park".

Rihu park also has free swimming area, Koi pool and other facilities.

Dispute over the name of the garden

For four years, the largest park in Ningbo has never been named. Although the construction unit has adopted a resounding temporary name: rihu Park, it has attracted flowers and rotten eggs.

"In ancient Ningbo, there were two lakes, the sun lake and the moon lake. The sun lake is located in Lianqiao street, Jiefang Road, and has nothing to do with the" Sun Lake "in Jiangbei." In recent years, every meeting of Ningbo Municipal People's Congress and Ningbo Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference has received proposals and motions against the use of the name "rihu".

At the same time, the name has also been accepted by many people. Many high-end real estate projects settled on the lakeside have the word "rihu".

What is the name of the new park? Yesterday, Ningbo City place name office once again solicited opinions from the public, "rihu Park" is "becoming a regular" or "changing its name"?

The construction unit is named "rihu Park"

The new park is located in Wantou, Jiangbei District, Ningbo, starting from Hudong road in the East, Xicao road in the south, xijiehu road in the west, and Huancheng Road in the north. The total investment is about 300 million yuan, covering an area of 43.6 hectares.

The original site of the park is the blind end of a tributary of Yaojiang River, surrounded by a flat vegetable garden. In the early summer of 2004, this area was built into the largest urban park in Ningbo. Half is the rippling water of Yaojiang River, and the other half is the green land with luxuriant vegetation, which has become a new scenic spot for citizens' leisure and play.

Responsible for the construction of Ningbo City investment company, the person in charge, at that time for the convenience of address, we have several names, but not very smooth. Later, some people thought that the lake was very big, so they simply corresponded to the Moon Lake Park and called it "RI Lake".

As the name is loud, over time, the media and the general public have called it smooth.

Two voices debate "rihu Park"

However, the name of "rihu Park" has aroused strong doubts from people in the cultural circle. They think that Ningbo is a national historical and cultural city. The place name reflects the historical style and vicissitudes, and is one of the important basis for future generations to study history and follow the map.

Wang Jietang, a member of Ningbo historical and cultural heritage protectors Association, said that from the earliest song Qian Dao Siming tujing to the Modern Ningbo City annals, all local annals clearly record that rihu is in the area of Lianqiao street, Jiefang Road. "The cultural heritage of the ancient rihu lake is very profound. It has many pearls and jade, and now it has a" rihu Park "in the north of the city, which is easy to confuse later generations and leave a regret for this famous historical and cultural city."

But "rihu Park" also has supporters. A local scholar in Ningbo wrote that "rihu has been lost for a long time. If it goes on like this, the name that once made Ningbo people proud will be gradually forgotten. As the largest urban park in Ningbo, borrowing the name of" rihu "not only protects the cultural heritage, but also makes the name more resounding.".

The results of the two polls are quite different

Both voices are reasonable. The report of the place name declaration unit has been submitted to the Ningbo Municipal Government for a long time, but it has not been approved yet.

Functional departments have repeatedly sought public opinion through various channels, but the results are quite the opposite. In June 2004, Ningbo Urban Management Bureau solicited public opinions on the Internet, and 806 people took part in the voting. As a result, "rihu Park" got the highest vote, accounting for 38.7%, followed by "Minghu Park", accounting for 25.8%.

Only one month later, Ningbo Urban Management Bureau organized 23 representatives from the National People's Congress, the Chinese people's Political Consultative Conference, education, cultural protection, construction and other departments to hold a special meeting on the naming of the park. At the meeting, secret ballot was adopted. As a result, "rihu" got zero votes and "Yanhu" got the highest number of votes.

Public "referendum" on Park name

Two years later, there is still a lot of controversy. According to a staff member of Ningbo Urban Management Bureau, Ningbo's parks are scattered all over the city. There are more than 70 parks in the urban area alone. No park has ever been named or renamed, causing such a big stir. This is because Ningbo people have too deep feelings for "rihu". Historically, Ningbo, also known as Mingzhou, originated from the sun and moon lakes, which used to be the symbol of Ningbo City and the pride of Ningbo people.

"May I use your name, rihu?" yesterday, the relevant functional departments of Ningbo City decided to give the naming right to the citizens, who will vote for a "referendum.".

Main attractions

The main scenic spots of rihu park are Taoxi fish watching, golden beach, Eden, hydrophilic platform and waterfront corridor. The environment is pleasant, and it was officially opened to the public on May 1, 2004.

Golden Beach

The layout of the scenic spot of "Golden Beach" is still the originality of the designer. Ningbo is a coastal city, but the coastline is mostly reef, the sea is yellow, there are few beaches and blue sea. The designer skillfully took advantage of the large lake of rihu lake and combined with the local characteristics of Ningbo, and arranged the scenic spot of "Golden Beach" in Ninghu Park, which made up for the lack of beach and blue sea in coastal cities, and made Ningbo have "golden beach and blue sky and blue sea".

Fish watching in Taoxi

The waterscape of Taoxi fish watching scenic area is mainly for watching red carp. There are leisurely red carp swimming in the naturally curved stream, forming a rare fish watching spot in Ningbo, which can be compared with the fish watching in Hangzhou Huagang. It's not enough to have good water and good fish. There should be good viewing spots. The pavilions, corridors, bridges and platforms built along the river provide a good view point for fish. Moreover, these buildings (structures) combine with water and plants to enrich the landscape effect of fish watching in Taoxi. In addition, a number of fountains and colorful lanterns at the bottom of the pond are arranged to make the scenic spot dynamic, static and colorful.

The garden of Eden

The aquatic plants in the wetland area of yixunyuan are also very successful. According to the plant's own growth characteristics and environmental ecological factors, suitable trees are planted at the edge of the water body, such as peach willow, banana, Begonia, water grass, bamboo and so on, creating a water plant landscape belt. According to the revetment and safe water area, submerged and floating leaf plants were planted in different water areas. Such as: water lily, lotus, Eichhornia crassipes, arrowhead, water candle, aquatic iris, Acorus calamus, reed, etc., not only play the role of dividing the water surface, but also make the water surface more green, more lively and interesting, and play the role of purifying water. Reasonable plant planting not only takes the proper role of plant landscaping, but also provides food and habitat for aquatic animals. At the same time, some waterfowl, migratory birds and other birds come here to seek and reproduce, achieving good ecological effect.

Hydrophilic platform

Hydrophilic platform provides a platform for visitors to contact the water surface, and a platform for people to play in the water. Extending from the land to the surface of the water
