After passing through a village and returning to the road around the lake, a beautiful large arc turns and you arrive at the navigation destination-Zhangxu Village.


There is a temple and a local temple on the small square facing the lake at the entrance of the village

The side view of the ancestral temple, the sunset puts it in gorgeous clothes


You can see the watchtower and the long trestle from afar

Approaching the watchtower


Several abandoned gray-walled buildings and tall trees in winter create a tough industrial scene


In winter, the tide is low, and the lake is far away from the shore, leaving a large lake beach. The trestle at this time is a land bridge, a completely different scenery from the trestle in the lake in summer.


People can bask in the sun on the broad lake beach, walk in twos and threes, and chat. A photographer riding a tripod beside the bridge, silently waiting for the opportunity.

Tourists waiting for the sunset


A layer of golden silkworm yarn caressed the beauty in front of you

I was pleasantly surprised by the sight in front of me.


The scene of the lake beach as the lake recedes


Light yellow, dark yellow, orange yellow, brown yellow, golden yellow, the whole picture is yellow, beautiful and natural.

Spotted green decorate the yellow lake beach

The trees on the lake beach are not forest, but they are randomly next to each other in twos and threes, like a pair of good friends.


The golden color of the branches is very eye-catching. In the far away village, white cottages form a leaping hue in the blue sky and dry yellow lake beaches.

Starting point of the trestle

During this trip, we walked up the trestle. Later, a dangerous bridge sign was hung here to warn everyone not to go on the bridge again.


A man with two traveling companions also played here. Listening to what he and his companions talked about, we know that Zhang Xucun is his hometown. This bridge had been built when he was a child. In the summer, he and his friends used to fight on the bridge. He also heard from his fathers that the bridge was built by militia target shooting in the 1950s and 1960s.

The trestle bridge is very special. There is a railing sixty to seventy centimeters high on one side, but not on the left.


I used two camera modes to record this beautiful picture.


There are platforms at the end and middle of the bridge. The original purpose of the bridge was ominous, but now it has become a good observation platform. The best place to watch the sunset on Shijiu Lake.


In summer, this 200-meter-long trestle stretches straight into the lake, providing us with a good opportunity to get close contact with the lake. All the way to the end, there were scenery on the lake all around. At this time, this is another vast winter scene.


On the bridge, view the beauty in front of you from another perspective


There is a green path under the bridge that stretches towards the lake like a trestle


Dusk is a kind of desolate beauty. When appreciating the beauty, there is always a vague sadness and thoughts.


On the golden lake beach, there is a willow tree, a ridge, and a sunset. Every such dusk, there is always a faint feeling lurking and growing.

The grandeur and poetic beauty like the desert

It also has the sad beauty and helplessness of loneliness and love

This is the image taken in automatic mode by one of my cameras. The two cameras photographed different artistic conception and story. One is the magnificent desert scenery of the Gobi Mountains in the northwest, and the other is the leisurely rural and pastoral style of Jiangnan lakes and beaches.



We simply sat on the viewing platform in the middle of the bridge, resonating with the rhythm of the sunset here and breathing the breath of Shijiu Lake to our heart's content.


The vast world on the viewing platform at the bridgehead filled me with joy and quietly appreciated the distance.

The lake in the distance is covered with layers of scales, and the lake beaches are dyed a strange gold color by the setting sun.


The cross-lake bridge on the distant lake is integrated with the soul of heaven and earth.

Large or small lakes in front of you


The vast lake beach, the undulating mountains in the distance, and the road around the lake draws a beautiful arc

The red sun at the end of the trestle creates a hazy mood with colorful colors. The birds have long disappeared, and only the faint burning of the burning cloud dyed the cloud orange. At this moment, feel a little like "poetry and distance".

Looking back at the shore, the light of dusk gently shines on the land, making people full of hope. The houses in the village are neatly and modern built along the dam, making them quiet and peaceful.


Just lie on the railing like that, watching the sunset fading in the clouds. Dusk is like a metaphor for life, allowing people to understand the meaning of life. The tranquility of dusk makes people feel quiet and peaceful, and even a touch of sadness.


Let the golden afterglow wrap around us, this grand and gorgeous sunset is the most special gift given to us by Shijiu Lake. Watching the sunset on Sou Lake on the trestle bridge is a beautiful enjoyment.

Standing on the viewing platform at the bridge head and looking back at the trestle

Watching the sun sink to the bottom of the lake bit by bit, the sky darken bit by bit, any photo taken will be a large area.

The trestle bridge and the bridge head look back at the road you came


During the short change of light and shadow at dusk, although there is no lake water in Shijiu Lake during the dry season, the lake beaches also show thousands of changes, blending with the sunset in the sky.


My partner was reluctant to leave and kept patting



On the distant horizon, clouds roll and clear, hidden under the cloud-covered blue sky, it is high, empty and breathtaking. Shijiu Lake, we came and left. Everything was as beautiful as a dream.

This is what Zhangxu Village on the lake looked like back then. Not long after, the village was dressed up as a fairy tale village in various charming colors.


Because a self-driving around Shijiu Lake reminded me of all my thoughts about Shijiu Lake. So I sorted out and recorded the first two trips to Shijiu Lake. Although it is the same place, different seasons, different times, different weather, and even different traveling companions will have different exciting experiences. Shijiu Lake, I will come again, walk slowly and enjoy it quietly.
