Driving through the Lu Zhong Sichuan-Tibet route, head to the Fan Gongting Park in Qingzhou

Departing from Zibo, driving through the Niujiaoling mountain road: the Lu Zhong Sichuan-Tibet route is rugged, like a dragon winding and twisting, resembling a jade belt wrapped around the lush mountains, arriving at Qingzhou Fan Gongting Park. Fan Gongting Park is located in the low-lying area outside the Old West Gate of Qingzhou City, with the Nanyang River flowing through it. Inside the park, pavilions and towers are set amongst winding paths, offering a naturally delightful scenery. To the west of Yongji Bridge is the ancient building: Shunhe Tower, built with bright windows facing the river, perched on a high stone platform. From a distance, the three-bay single-story building resembles a tower, hence its name. With colorful windows facing the water and weeping willows partially covering the view, the scenery is charmingly beautiful. The 'Western Tower' mentioned in the famous female poet Li Qingzhao's 'A Spray of Plum Blossoms' is the Shunhe Tower, and to the west of the tower is the 'Four Pines Pavilion' guarded by four pines. Crossing the Yongji Bridge, there is the 'Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall' built in 1988, located next to the Shunhe Tower where Li Qingzhao and her husband, the epigrapher Zhao Mingcheng, often recited and sang poems and enjoyed the scenery. Walking a hundred meters south along Yangxi Lake, you will find the famous Fan Gongting, which has always been a rare tourist attraction. With spring flowers, autumn moons, summer sun, and winter snow, the scenery is enchanting in all seasons. The 'Mian Shui Yan Tan Lu' records: 'When Fan Wenzheng governed Qingzhou,... in the Nanyang Creek, a sweet spring gushed out, the public built a pavilion above the spring, and carved a stone to record it. Later, the people of Qingzhou, in memory of the public's virtue, named it Fan Gong Spring, surrounded by ancient trees...' Inside the courtyard of Fan Gongting, ancient trees such as Tang and Song dynasty catalpas and scholar trees stand tall around Fan Gong Well and the pavilion, still full of life; the shrines of the three sages Fan Gong, Ouyang Gong, and Fu Bi Gong quietly await visitors. Behind the shrines, the 'Hou Le Pavilion' reminds posterity of the famous saying: 'Worry before the world worries, and enjoy after the world enjoys.' Outside Fan Gongting, visitors rest under the 'Qi Lu Teng Luo King', while children play around. Fan Gongting Park, with its natural and cultural landscapes complementing each other, allows visitors to both appreciate the relics of ancient sages and wander through charming natural scenery, making it an ideal destination for tourism and leisure.
