Know Hangzhou West Lake, then do you know Nanjing North Lake? What about the night view of the North

Xuanwu Lake, located in Xuanwu District, Nanjing City, is located in the east by Zijin Mountain, the Ming Wall in the west, the north of Nanjing Station, Jiming Temple in the south, the largest city park in Jiangnan area, and the largest royal garden lake in China. It is known as the``Jinling Pearl'' . Now it is now a national key park, a national AAAA-level tourist scenic spot, which is one of the 48 views of Jinling. Xuanwu Lake has a history of 2300 years, dating back Seoul to Shijiazhuang flight to the pre-Qin period. The name of Xuanwu Lake has different names at different times, and the common ones are Post-Lake and North Lake. North Lake is easier to remember. Why back Lake? The reason is that Xuanwu Lake is located right behind Zijinshan, so it is called Post Lake. Why is it called North Lake? Because Xuanwu Lake is located in the north of the ancient capital of the six dynasties, and named North Lake. Why Xuanwu Lake? This is a study of both allusions and gossip. Allusions are in the Song, Yuan and Jia dynasties in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern dynasties, because the so-called "black dragon" appeared twice in the lake, the name of the lake began to be changed to "Black Tortoise". The four figures refer to Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Seoul to Shanghai flight Bird, Black Tortoise, representing the east, west, north and south, respectively. Northern Black Tortoise in the eight hexagrams for the Kan, in the five elements of the main water, the canister is water. Black Tortoise, called tortoise snake. The position is in the north, so it is called Xuan. There is scale armour, so it is called martial arts. From this it seems that this is probably the origin of Xuanwu Lake. Xuanwu Lake is the North Lake of Nanjing. Xuanwu Lake scenic area has five continents, is Cui Chau, Liang Chau, Wan Chau, Cherry Island, Diamond Island, the continent and the continent is connected with the bridge, there are mountains and water, beautiful scenery. You can take Metro Line 1 or Line 3 in Nanjing City. Line 1 can be under Xuanwu Gate Station, Line 3 can be located at Jimingsi or Nanjing Forestry University Xinzhuang Subway Station. Go and enjoy the scenery of North Lake in Nanjing. I went to see the night view of Xuanwu Lake on the evening of March 31 this year. I went in the evening during the Cherry Flower Festival, which went in through the Xuanwu door. After going in, enjoy the ever-changing lights in the distance, as if put on a sports dress on the tree. This was taken in the vicinity of Wan Chau and Cherry Island, because the exact location of dark is not clear, but I will find it when I go. Finally, take a look at the city and Xuanwu Lake fusion, feel the charm of the ancient capital of the six dynasties. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, you might as well have a chance to experience it yourself. Ouyang Xiu once praised Xuanwu Lake in this way, "Jinling Mo Mei in the back Lake, money pond Mo Mei in the West Lake." This may be the North Lake in Nanjing and the West Lake in Hangzhou.
