Fireworks In March, people flock to Yangzhou City. Slender West Lake, Daming Temple, Heyuan, Geyuan, Daming Temple, and Dongguan Street are all popular spots for tourists to check in. But there is also a place that is less famous today and a little further away from the central Urban area of Yangzhou. It is a place of great interest that ancient sages flock to. This is Zhuyi Bay.
At that time, the dogwood building standing upright once witnessed the unchanging prosperity of this place in historical changes. Zhuyan Bay is located in Wantou Town, a suburb of today's northeastern Yangzhou City. Wantou Town was once named Zhuyu Village and Zhuyi Bay because of its growing dogwood trees. Because the ancient canal turns here, it is also known as the mouth of the bay and the head of the bay. Zhuyi Bay was the gateway through which the ancient canal entered Yangzhou city from the north. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty visited Yangzhou three times. During the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kang and Qian passed by here every time they made their southern tour. The dogwood flowers bloom, filling the bay with fragrance.
There is a poem in the Tang Dynasty that said: "Half of the kites are filled with trees, and the people return alone in the New Year." Falling flowers follow flowing water and we will reach Zhuyi Bay together." "If you have land, you can only plant bamboo, and if you have no home, you can't raise geese. The spring breeze blows over the city, and my ears are filled with singing and singing songs."
Zhuyi Bay connects the Huai River to the north and the Yangtze River to the south. It is known as the "Yijiang River controls the Huai River" and its location in the ground is extremely important. Just because Juyi Bay is located at a strategic point and an important stronghold for guarding the canal, every time there is a war, it will definitely become a place where military strategists fight fiercely. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan soldiers marched south and invaded Yangzhou, where their main force was stationed. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, when Shi Kefa fought against the Qing Dynasty, he also sent Sichuan troops and Ying Yanji's troops to gather in Zhuyi Bay. The Taiping Army defended Yangzhou and attacked the Qing Army, and Zhuyi Bay was one of the most important strongholds.
Imperial relatives, literati and literati visit Yangzhou, and it is also a regular place to settle down, rest, and have banquets.
Due to the interweaving of ships from south to north, Chuang Bay is busy day and night, and the bend is also equipped with night lights that are not extinguished all year round to guide the course of ships that are constantly flowing. To this day, the two stone pillars that held the navigation lights back then still remain here, silently annotating the great world cultural heritage in history.
To this day, Zhuyi Bay is still a scenic spot for people and families to relax. It is not only a beautiful 4A-level scenic spot and historical and cultural heritage park, but also the largest zoo in Yangzhou. Men, women and children can find what they love, belong to and enjoy here. Green trees, grass, flowers, naughty monkeys, noisy flamingos, adult white swans, and childish ugly ducklings are all eye-catching scenery.
Please remember that in March, fireworks are not only in the dazzling Yangzhou City, but also in Zhuyi Bay, which is full of charm outside Yangzhou City.
