There are no lotus flowers in Lotus Park.

There are no lotus flowers in Lotus Park.

There is a joke: Fish-flavored shredded pork, but no fish. What's more, she smiled and said: old woman cake, no wife. Not obvious. This is fooling customers. But after a long time, people will accept it. Who will do such a net loss business? Otherwise, try to switch places. It is estimated that no one dares to sell "old woman cakes".

Unexpectedly, there is a park that is not worthy of the name: Lianhuachi Park, but there are no lotus flowers. To confirm the rumor, this morning, after the baby was born prematurely, I went for a walk in Lianhuachi Park. I really didn't see the lotus, and there was no scene of "infinite lotus leaves".

However, in the depths of history, there must be refreshing lotus flowers. According to historical records, the lotus pond can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. By the early Ming Dynasty, it was one of the famous "Six Scenes of Yunnan and Yangtse" and had the reputation of "Longchi". It used to be a scenic spot in central Yunnan, where "ten acres of lotus fish world, half city willow blowing balcony".

Rumor: five longan in the pool, clear spring flowing for a hundred years; Unfortunately, it is difficult to prove this today. According to the Ming Dynasty's "Yunnan Fu Zhi", there is a cold spring at the foot of the mountain, called the lotus pond, which can remove wind diseases by bathing. Spring water can cure diseases, and there are many people taking a bath. Even today, Yunnan is still rich in spring water and minerals, which can treat skin diseases. Long-term bathing can strengthen the body, indeed.

In the Qing Dynasty, it was famous for its connection with the tombs of Wu Sangui, Chen Yuanyuan and Li Yong. According to historical records, Wu Sangui built an "Anfu Garden" here, which was designed for his favorite princess, Chen Yuanyuan, and left the remains of a "round dressing table". But Wu Sangui's anti-Qing campaign failed, and Chen Yuanyuan joined the lotus pond and died in the lake. During the Cultural Revolution, the famous writer Li Guangtian threw himself into the lake, which cast an ominous shadow on the lotus pond.

Until 2008, Lianhuachi Park was rebuilt, and the garden style was charming, quite like the style of Jiangnan gardens-the method of "three mountains and one water" in classical gardens was fully presented here. From north to south, there are "Ten Scenes of Lotus" in the park, such as Anfu Garden Gate, Yulinglong, Cuihai Decoration Building, Longtang Yuyue, Lotus Pond Aquilaria Resina, Alpine Peach Forest, Li Yong's Tomb, Long Bridge Princess, Moonlight Dusk and Flourishing Flower Tide. The park, which integrates leisure, sightseeing, entertainment and fitness, is full of people and mountains every day.

However, due to the small lake, fishing, yachting and other leisure projects, there is nowhere to grow lotus flowers, which is a bit regrettable.
