The Sounds of Nature | Listening to the Early Spring Rain at Yu Gu Bay
On a cloudy day, I walked to Yu Gu Bay,
where early spring has not yet brought a sea of flowers.
My eyes are filled with the lush green of spring.
Sitting alone in the Huangbi Tower, I gaze at the green waters that surround me.
Suddenly, raindrops begin to fall.
Listening to the rain and the birds,
I am so clearly enveloped by nature.
🌱🌱Yu Gu Bay
📍No. 29, Santai Mountain Road, Chishanbu, Xihu District, Hangzhou City
Yu Hu Bay Scenic Area is located to the east of Yanggong Causeway, west of Santai Mountain Road, north to the Santai Dream Trace Scenic Area, and south to Chishanbu.
Main attractions:
🔹Huangbi Tower - Picture 1, 2
Located near Yu Hu Bay. The famous Yuan Dynasty literary figure Zhang Yu built a water pavilion here and named it 'Huangbian'.
❗️Sit alone for a while, listen to the rain and birds, a secret haven on earth.
🔹Wu Champion Archway, Picture 7
According to historical records, in the seventh year of Jiading of the Southern Song Dynasty (1214), the martial arts champion Liu Biwan (also recorded as Liu Bifang) erected the Wu Champion Archway in Chishan. Now the archway has been rebuilt in the style of the Song Dynasty to reflect the ancient imperial examination culture of Hangzhou.
🔹Ziji Grass Hall, Picture 1, Picture 9
It is said that Huang Gongwang once lived in seclusion in a hut in the shade of Chishan in Hangzhou. The scenery around the thatched cottage was pleasant, and the view of Leifeng Pagoda could be seen from the door. In 2003, a memorial room for Huang Gongwang was set up near the original site of his former residence to commemorate this outstanding painter in Chinese art history.
❗️Night view, looking at the lit grass hall from afar, a paradise on earth.
🔹Jihong Bridge, Picture 3, 4, 5, Picture 9 above and below
Located to the west of Huagang Park in Yu Hu Bay, it faces Huang Gongwang's former residence, Yu Hu Xuan, and Huangbi Tower across the water.
🔹Xianxian Hall
Also known as Jixian Hall, it was originally built during the Song Dynasty, next to the first bridge of Sudi, Yingbo Bridge. In the second year of Baoqing of the Song Dynasty (1226), the capital's governor Yuan Shao petitioned the court to build a temple to worship the thirty-nine famous sages of Hangzhou, starting with Xu You.
