Leaving Gaoyou Cultural Park, the last battle of the Anti-Japanese War, we went to the next destination-Gaoyou Luedang Ecological Wetland Park. Following the navigation to accompany the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, a height limit of 2.65 meters was found not far behind on the S237 Provincial Highway. Our bus couldn't get through. Looking back to find another way, I encountered the height limit of 2.05 again. The driver could only detour the national highway, and finally stopped circling after several rounds. Taking the national highway, I came to the canal again, saw the busy canal, and felt at ease.


The familiar ancient town of Jieshou. In September 2018, I was on business in Baoying. I used half a day's free time to drive to Gaoyou Lake and meet this ancient town in Jieshou. Jieshou is named because it is located at the junction of Gaoyou, Baoying and Jinhu counties in Jiangsu Province. Founded in 957 AD, the town has a history of more than 1,000 years. It is a transportation hub and commercial town in northern Gaoyou. It is the most prosperous and lively town in the Lixiahe area and a dazzling pearl on the banks of the Grand Canal. The ancient towns are well protected, have no commercial atmosphere, and are all indigenous people. The small ancient town includes the former site of Central China Xuefeng University, Jieshou Old Street, Jieshou Huguo Temple, Jieshou Posthouse, Gaoyou Jieshou Folk Museum, Jieshou Canal Wharf, Ming and Qing Dynasties North and South Streets, Daqing Post Office, Jieshou Historical Exhibition Hall, Rural Normal School, Taiping Street and many other scenic spots are worth visiting.

I didn't stop in the ancient town today, just sat in the car and took a look from afar. An old dock in Jieshou has been restored and built here, but there was no such landscape in 2018.

This white twin-tower spatial cable-stayed bridge-Jieshou Canal Bridge can be seen far away on Provincial Highway S237. The bridge looks so pure between the blue sky and green waters. The bridge forms an "S" shape, starting from S237, crossing the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and ending at the western embankment of the canal. Make an "S"-shaped rotation according to the bridge.

Walking on the Jieshou Canal Bridge to watch the busy canal freight.

Cross the canal from the east side of the canal to the west side of the canal and look back at the bridge. Because of this bridge lake area is connected with the ancient town boundary. Follow Gaoyou Lake along the dam road.

Small boats floated by the lake.

Stroll around at will with all kinds of farmed poultry.

I came to the reed pond ecological wetland on the bank of Gaoyou Lake. This is the entrance to Luedang Park. It's similar to what I came here three years ago. It's still under construction. There is an additional archway like this with a big logo. The simple door panel house is the ticket office, which is quite simple.

There are some more colorful embellishments. Thinking about the first time I came to Gaoyou, I walked carefully in this simple, original ancient town in Jieshou, and I liked it very much. After leaving Jieshou, I just casually drove to the dam to view Gaoyou Lake, and came across this scenic spot. A parking lot was being built here at that time, and the scenic spot also required tickets to enter. Because time did not allow me, I did not enter the scenic spot. Instead, drive directly on the western embankment of the Grand Canal between Gaoyou Lake and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and enjoy the scenery of Gaoyou Lake while driving. I didn't expect to continue our relationship with this place today.

We boarded a ferry that can carry more than 20 guests and entered Gaoyou Lake. The ticket is for 60 people/person round trip.

Fishermen on the lake are driving boats


The vast Gaoyou Lake is as boundless as an ocean. A variety of aquatic plants dot the lake.

Gaoyou Lake is one of the six major freshwater lakes in my country. It is vast with clear water, green with green reeds and lush ecology.

Gaoyou Lake Luedang Wetland Park has a total area of 35 square kilometers, including a land area of 8 square kilometers and a water area of 27 square kilometers.

Birds rise and fall freely on the lake and fly.

The people on the boat are leisurely

The lakes and grass in the scenic area are luxuriant at the right time,



Ten thousand acres of reeds stretch as far as the eye, the vast beach is covered with green grass, and the wild animals and plants are rich and diverse. It is a "natural oxygen bar."


Under the blue sky and white clouds, the boat driving leisurely in the river will make you feel relaxed and relaxed, completely immersed in a green world.


The rivers and lakes are clear and the soil and water are fertile, so aquatic plants are very rich. The lake beaches are rich in reeds and catweed. At this time, the green color is like a green ocean.

Long waterways take us into vast lakes

Come to our destination-the island. The small dock for the barge, leaving the boat ashore.


A tree-lined island

The island has a bit of a tourist attraction, with a door and a tourist center

There is also an introduction to the scenic spot and a topographic map of the scenic spot

Small flowers of various colors are embellished in the green landscape.

The island is surrounded by lake water


There is a Chenzhou Bridge. Although it is a replica bridge, there is a legend about Bao Zheng's disaster relief. There is a tall Huanzhu Pavilion at the bridge of the bridge.

I climbed to the highest floor of Huanzhu Pavilion and watched the scenery from above.


The winding bridge in the lake leads us to an island in the center of the lake.

Wetland and tidal flat landscape

The dam divides and arranges the lake surface. There are various breeding greenhouses on one side of the dam, and various vegetables are planted in an orderly manner on one side of the dam. Seeing this picture, I knew that there was a self-sufficient and prosperous life here.

Further away, the waters of Gaoyou Lake are divided into several pieces by dams.

Look at Chenzhou Bridge from Huanzhu Pavilion.

Take a 360-degree panoramic photo on the high Huanzhu Pavilion.

The rivers are crisscross and crisscross, with beautiful water and grass, and the vegetation on the river banks is also rich and colorful.

Today, we had lunch in the restaurant on the island in the middle of the lake. After getting off the high Huanzhu Pavilion, we rushed to the island.

The small island has a recreational palace on the water side according to its round shape. There is a high observation deck in the center, which is connected to the houses by bridges on all sides. There are restaurants, housekeeping and other supporting facilities. Eating here is all self-produced and self-sold green food. The fish, shrimps, home-raised chickens and ducks, and even vegetables in the lake are all home-grown fresh vegetables. Although they seem to be ordinary dishes, because they are non-polluting and are made of "waiting materials". The aquatic products are eaten and cooked right now, and the agricultural products are picked and fried right now. Therefore, the taste is well received by everyone, especially an old professor in the same industry. Praise. You know, our old professor doesn't care about whether the food is high-end, but he is very concerned about the taste of food. This is the first time I have eaten a dish called Xian Lingyang. It tastes great, mainly because I feel very fresh when I eat it for the first time.

After the meal, my happiness continues to wander around in the scenery. The corridors and small bridges on the island are full of green.

The lotus leaves and water chestnut leaves in the water are also green and watery.

Return to Huanzhu Pavilion at the bridge,

We were not in a hurry to return to the dock, but headed for our next destination-the reed swamp maze. Walking on such a flowery road makes me feel beautiful!

There is a lake on one side of the path and a ridge on the other side. The lake area here is planted with a large number of aquatic plants such as lotus root, water caltrop, gordon euryale, and Artemisia pergensis.
Various vegetables are grown in the ridges by the water's edge.


The partners looked at these fat and tender vegetables in surprise and were filled with joy.


This row of amaranth is fat and tender

A field of peppers hung full of sharp, slender peppers.

A small piece of watermelon field also produces slender watermelons

Tomatoes are also hanging on the branches full of fruits


Turn right and continue. There are two rows of boat houses in the lake. It is a boat house hotel. The entire hotel is based on a boat, surrounded by steel cables, and every room is adjacent to the water.

A small wooden boat at the small pier of the reed ditch labyrinth has a sunshade canopy and is driven by a battery. Each boat can carry ten people at 50 yuan per person.

This is our boatman. He is smiling and doesn't talk much. He basically answers every question. It seems that the boatman does not concurrently serve as a tour guide.


As the boat was moving slowly, the boat made the sound of waves. The reed poles on both sides brushed by the side of the boat from time to time, making a rustling sound. Other than that it is quiet. Among the 50,000 acres of reed land, we were the only two cruise ships sailing. In the maze, the boatmen traveled freely, and neither of the two cruise ships met.

The reed maze is a primitive ecological lake wetland. The 50,000-acre reed maze is large in scale and majestic, forming a unique landscape of "boats walking in the lake and fish jumping into the cabin."


There are lush reed swamps and tens of thousands of acres of reeds as far as the eye can see.

Walking here will make people wash away the lead flowers, and man and nature will be refined in purity.


The summer reeds are verdant.

The wind is swaying and colorful, and the reeds are graceful. Each flower is at ease and at will, and they are intertwined into layers and clusters, like white clouds falling on a river beach. The wind blew, and the reed swamps raised grass-green waves, one after another, and the waves were quite spectacular.

The 50,000-acre ecological reed swamp is located at the corner of the vast Gaoyou Lake. The vast lake, the dense reeds, and the narrow, deep, winding and multi-form reed space on the water.

We meandered in this reed space.

Show off your combat boots

Suddenly I saw my companions 'cruise ship in front of me and wanted to take some photos of them. In the blink of an eye, the boat was submerged in the reed swamps and disappeared again.

I sat cross-legged on the bow of the ship under the scorching sun, taking pictures of everything here with my best vision. My companion photographed my back in the stern. This is the old saying. If you take pictures of scenery, you will also become the scenery in the eyes of others.

The small boat is made of bright red and yellow colors, which are so gorgeous in the green water, blue sky, and green reed swamps.

Our companions 'boat appeared behind us quietly. Before I could get ready to take pictures, our boat turned and they disappeared again.

There is a duckling in the lower right corner, which is very inconspicuous in the photo. But in fact, in the reeds here, there are nameless birds in the lake that inhabit them. The sound of the birds is pleasant and pleasant, and it is very lively. The bird flew up as if it made a series of trill in the water. The wild ducks shuttled through the reeds, stretching their heads out and shrinking in the green bushes. They were disturbed and scared so that they only wore them like flying swords and disappeared in an instant, so it was difficult for the camera to capture their sounds and shadows.

The reed swamp in summer is a thriving scene. Not only is the scenery beautiful, but you can also watch birds.

Walking through the reeds, the figure of egrets, herons and wild ducks sometimes graze the green reeds and fly into the sky, and sometimes suddenly rush into the water.

Walking through the long and narrow waterway deep in the maze to the open area outside, where the water is open, the wind brings a touch of coolness. Everyone is satisfied with this boat trip to Gaoyou Lake. This is probably the first time for a group of friends to go to the reed swamps! I expressed my gratitude to my companions who arranged the trip. Think about the wonderful experience of life. I was close to Gaoyou Lake for the first time in 2018, but I only left after a slight face-to-face. I didn't expect to go to the same place three years later to have more in-depth contact with it. The joy of renewed fate makes the journey full of joy.

After wandering around the reed swamp maze for half an hour, we returned to the shore, followed the flower path back to the dock, took the cruise ship back to the parking lot.

The Jieshou Canal Bridge connecting the Grand Canal and Gaoyou Lake can be seen far away on the lake.

Gaoyou Lake Luedang Wetland Park has the beauty of the lake, the softness of the water, the green of the reed, and the strange scenery, which make us a beautiful day's trip to Gaoyou. Although this is a scenic spot, there are few tourists. There are only two boats with a team of twenty of us wandering around in the reed swamp. The scenic area and I came here three years ago have not changed much from the outside. Why is such a peaceful and romantic habitat so few people care about it? Think about the 60-yuan cruise ticket and the 50-yuan ticket to the Reeds Maze. It costs 110 yuan for a ticket here, which is really a low value for money. Let's talk about cruise ships first! In fact, it's a ferry boat from the island in the middle of the lake to the shore. If you don't eat or play the maze, why do you go to the island? Just like a few years ago, when I drove on the dam road to see Gaoyou Lake, I felt even more spacious and heroic. Such a unique place is close to Jieshou Town with historical characteristics. If we adjust our business ideas, it would be better here? Looking forward to meeting again, this place will be even more beautiful.
