When Lanzhou Binhe Park first built the levee on the south bank of the Yellow River and expanded the riverside highway at 1958, it built the eastern belt park from Yantan Ancient Bridge to Baiyunguan. 1976, re-planning. Many pavilions, rockeries and flower beds have been built, trees and flowers have been planted, street lamps and railings have been installed, and Binjiang Park has been initially formed. 1982, 199 1 year, Binhe Park extends westward to Xiuchuan River Beach, extending westward for more than ten kilometers, and its scale is larger than before, forming Lanzhou Baili Yellow River amorous feelings line.
The characteristic of Lanzhou Baili Yellow River amorous feelings line is that there is a garden in the garden and a scene in the scene. From east to west along Binhe Road, there are Yantan Park, Gansu Painting and Calligraphy Institute, Children's Park, Zhongshan Bridge, Baiyun Temple, Water Parking Lot, Xiaoxihu Park and Happy West in turn. In the meantime, exotic flowers and herbs can be seen everywhere. Mother River The Yellow River flows eastward through the Hebei River. Looking south, you can see the beautiful scenery of Baita Mountain and the tall and green Gaolan Mountain. The scenery is beautiful and unique. Known as the "Bund" of Lanzhou, it has become one of the important scenic spots in Lanzhou and a must-see place for foreign tourists to come to Lanzhou.
The sculpture groups of Binhe Road are scattered on the east and west sides of Binhe Road, about 10 km long. There are famous sculptures such as Mother of the Yellow River, Green Hope, Rafting on Rafts, Ancient Silk Road, Wild Goose in Pingsha and The Journey to the West.
The sculpture Mother of the Yellow River is located in the middle section of Binhe Road in the north of Xiaoxihu Park. It is the highest artistic achievement among many sculptures representing the mother river of the Chinese nation. Won the "Excellence Award" in the first national urban sculpture scheme appraisal. The sculpture Mother of the Yellow River was designed and created by He E, a famous sculptor in Gansu, and carved by Beijing Sculpture Factory. It is a round granite sculpture, 6 meters long, 2.2 meters wide and 2.6 meters high. This sculpture consists of "mother" and a baby boy. Mother's hair is fluttering, her expression is kind and peaceful, her figure is tall and well-proportioned, her head is slightly smiling, her right arm is slightly bent, and she is lying on her back on the waves. On her right side, she snuggles up to a naked baby boy, looking around slightly, smiling upward and being naughty and lovely. The composition of the whole work is profound, symbolizing the unyielding Yellow River mother who nurtured the Chinese nation and the happy and prosperous Chinese descendants. The water ripples and fish patterns carved on the pedestal under the sculpture come from the original patterns of ancient painted pottery in Gansu, reflecting the long history of Gansu. In front of the sculpture "Mother of the Yellow River", there is also a stone tablet dedicated to the cradle of the Chinese nation-Mother of the Yellow River, which was established by the National Youth Earth Summer Camp in August 1984.
The sculpture of "Green Hope" is located about180m east of the sculpture of "Mother of the Yellow River". It was donated by Gansu1300,000 teenagers and completed in 1987. It was conceived, designed and carved by Wang Zhigang and Wang Tiecheng. The main statue consists of three pyramid-shaped deformed white marble trees, the height of which is 1 1 m, 8 m and 3 m, which means "forest", reflecting the feat of Gansu people actively planting grass and trees and greening Gansu, and symbolizing the vigorous growth of Gansu teenagers. The two sub-images * * *, each 8 meters high and 1 1 m long, are white marble reliefs, which are symmetrically distributed on the east and west sides of the main image in an arc shape. The east side is "Planting for Gansu" and the west side is "Greening Longyuan", which has the functions of highlighting the main image and prompting the theme.
The sculpture "Raft Boating Waves" is located in the small garden overlooking the White Pagoda in the east section of Binhe Road. It was built in June 1 98665438+1October1and made by Wang. The height of the sculpture is 6.15m, and the total length is 8.6m.. The base of the sculpture is inlaid with pebbles of the Yellow River, just like the huge waves of the Yellow River, and the raft flies obliquely above the waves. The rafters on the raft knelt, paddled with their heads held high, and drove the raft across the Yellow River. Later, a girl knelt on the raft, holding her temple in her right hand, and her expression was serene, reminiscent of the days when the Yellow River epithelial raft fought for crossing the river.

Some people compare the Yellow River amorous feelings line to the Bund, which means it can be compared with this scenic spot in Shanghai. Objectively speaking, there are some similarities between the two, but the Yellow River amorous feelings line is unique in many aspects, with heavy historical and cultural implications, unique overall layout and garden-like design ideas. It has been persistently and meticulously constructed for more than 20 years, no less than the Bund. I don't mean to belittle the Bund here. As we all know, Shanghai has only been open for more than 100 years, only one tenth of Lanzhou's history. Lanzhou, as an important town of the Silk Road, is the only provincial capital city where the Yellow River passes through the city. Known as "the capital of the Yellow River in the west and the famous city of the Silk Road", it has a profound historical and cultural accumulation. The diligence, wisdom and pioneering spirit of Lanzhou people have left a deep mark on the customs line, which is not available on the Bund. One of the most representative is the Lanzhou Waterwheel, which has a long history of hundreds of years and is world-renowned, comparable to the Dutch windmill. The State General Post Office also issued a set of commemorative stamps to show the world the charm and elegance of Lanzhou Waterwheel.
The humanistic landscape and rich cultural atmosphere on the amorous feelings line are by no means limited to this. After a whole century of Zhongshan Railway Bridge, the ancient buildings of Lanzhou Beilin, Long Yuan and Jinguan Town, as well as Baiyun Temple and Water Mosque on the north bank of the Yellow River, all reveal the richness of Lanzhou culture. In addition, the reader building, the provincial painting academy and the provincial and municipal libraries have also added a strong cultural atmosphere to the customs line.
If the amorous feelings line is compared to a long necklace, then the park is a bright pearl embedded in the necklace. Xiaoxihu Park and Nanhu Park are sparkling and beautiful; Green parks, sports parks, lush grass, public squares, water squares, hydrophilic platforms and music fountains are refreshing, and wetland parks have a unique interest. According to the plan, Lanzhou Municipal People's Government will also build a new children's park in the city as soon as possible, with an area of several hundred hectares, which will become a paradise that children yearn for.
The amorous feelings line is an open-air sculpture museum. The most beautiful sculpture is "Mother of the Yellow River" built in 1980s. Tourists who come to Lanzhou take photos here as a souvenir, as well as Green Hope, Boating on the Waves, Wild Goose in Pingsha, Introduction of Western Learning to the East and Camel Bell in Silk Road. These sculptures tell people the long history of Lanzhou, and also place their hopes for a better life in the future.
Scenery lines such as Botanical Garden, Herbal Garden and Baihua Garden. Trees on lawns and flower beds shade the sun. There are dozens of tree species such as pine, cypress, spruce, ginkgo, poplar, locust and elm. It is particularly worth mentioning that Zuo, a folded tree that has gone through a hundred years of vicissitudes, is still flourishing. It was planted in Lanzhou when the sons and daughters of Huxiang led by Zuo, a famous general of the Qing army, recovered Xinjiang in the west. "Newly-planted willows are 3,000 miles long, and the spring breeze is flowing." The left on the amorous feelings line is a living testimony of that period of history.
The amorous feelings line is a good place for outdoor activities of Lanzhou citizens. Every morning, people come here to play Tai Ji Chuan, dance, do exercises, walk and take a deep breath, facing the morning sun and bathing in the breeze. Some of them still sing here, or sing "Flowers" or Shaanxi Opera, enjoying every day of their lives happily. When night falls, the scenery is more beautiful and particularly charming. The west bank of the river is full of colorful lights, which complement each other and present a fantastic beauty. Neon lights in shops, hotels and buildings are flashing, and people wander in the light and spend their leisure time comfortably.
I sincerely praise the Yellow River amorous feelings line for many reasons. She is unpretentious, natural and decent, elegant, dignified and elegant, close to every citizen and tourist in Lanzhou. She is charming but not coquettish, reserved but not ostentatious, graceful but not deliberately carved. She is a microcosm of Lanzhou's urban construction and development since the reform and opening up, and a business card that will never turn yellow and wither.
On a warm spring day, the author walked eastward along the amorous feelings line. On the edge of the Yellow River on the north side of the northwest plate market, bulldozers are crashing. A migrant worker told me that the place under intense construction is the east extension of Nanbinhe East Road. It won't be long before a solid riverbank, wide roads, flower beds and lawns will be built here, which will be connected with the existing customs line and be seamless and spectacular. I am convinced that under the correct leadership of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, with the strong support and joint efforts of relevant departments, the Yellow River customs line will always maintain its youthful vitality and vitality.
I know very well that it is impossible to describe every detail of the development and change of the Yellow River customs line. We can only outline her charm and charm from one side to express Lanzhou people's love and praise for the Yellow River customs line. As an ordinary citizen of Lanzhou, I am proud of the Yellow River amorous feelings line, because she is the pride of more than 3 million people in Lanzhou.
The yellow river customs line will have a better tomorrow. Her charming "amorous feelings" are more and more radiant, as Mr. Ren Zhenying's poem quoted at the beginning of this article says: "The native land is full of flowers, and the poems and paintings will be embroidered in the coming year."
