When it comes to Jiangnan, I always think of the misty and rainy scenery. "Small bridges and flowing water families" describe the beautiful scene of Jiangnan water town. These days, the weather in Nanning is also rainy and rainy, and it is also a scene of fog in Jiang Nanyu. The South Lake, shrouded in misty rain, shows its mysterious side.

Nanhu Park, located in Qingxiu District, southeast of Nanning, is a park integrating waterscape and subtropical garden scenery. South Lake is divided into three parts: upper lake, middle lake and lower lake, covering an area of nearly 6,543,800 square meters. When the weather is clear, the lake is as clear as a mirror, and the blue waves are rippling, just like a miniature version of Hangzhou West Lake.

Nanhu used to be the Yongjiang River, which is connected with it. Whenever there is a flood in Yongjiang River, the river will flow backward into the river, flooding a large number of farmland and houses. During the Jing Yun period of the Tang Dynasty, Sima Lu people in Yongzhou recruited migrant workers and built dikes here to store water into a lake, which later became the South Lake. Later, people planted trees and flowers by the lake, built corridors and pavilions, and turned it into a scenic spot. 1972, they officially opened it as a park, featuring extensive planting of subtropical flowers and trees.

Walking into the main entrance of Nanhu at the intersection of Yuanhu Xinghu, the first thing you see is the big stone engraved with the four characters "Nanhu Park". It is like a loyal guard, standing there motionless all year round, whether it is hot or cold. There is a dense grove behind the big stone, like a green screen, which blocks the scenery inside and creates a sense of mystery for tourists. Standing at the door, there is naturally a desire to find out.

Bypass the forest screen, walk slowly inside and soon reach the lake. Standing here, you can enjoy the South Lake in the misty rain and the beautiful scenery of the colorful south of the Yangtze River. There is a red and black plastic runway by the lake, and the ground is very clean and tidy. Some citizens are exercising, jogging, stretching or playing Tai Ji Chuan, which is relaxing and enjoying.

Standing at the top of Jiukong Bridge in Nanhu Lake, looking to the southeast of the lake, you can see several artificial ecological islands on the lake. These islands are very beautiful, like garden villas carefully built for "distant guests"-herons, like several golden flowers embroidered on a quiet lake, and like exquisite garlands worn by ancient women when they got married.

Standing on the bridge, letting the lake wind blow your hair, people have a long-lost comfort. Open your arms and close your eyes, and the fresh air is scrambling to get into your lungs, which is very comfortable. Open your eyes and look down, the lake is crystal clear, and you can see the fish swimming around happily, as if dancing. The lake is very soft. When the breeze blows, ripples appear on the calm lake surface, and then slowly swing away, forming layers of ripples, which is really beautiful.

In the distance of the bridge, a small wooden boat is working in the lake, as if salvaging the water plants and sundries on the lake. Not far away, several unknown waterfowl are playing in the water, bringing some agility and vitality to the beautiful South Lake. The green, fat, red, thin and milky guardrail by the lake is woven into three ribbons, just like putting a big wreath on the beautiful South Lake.

By the lake, several neatly arranged willows are like teenage girls, dancing with the wind and graceful. The beautiful scenery will naturally attract new people to take pictures. Under the tree, a handsome man in a formal suit and a beautiful woman in a pink skirt are surrounded by relatives and friends, and under the guidance of a photographer, very much in love. The happy and sweet appearance adds a touch of romance to the beautiful South Lake.

Today's South Lake bears the pursuit and dreams of contemporary Nanning people. The Chinese dream, full of children of Zhuang nationality, is moving forward step by step.
