Phoenix City Fengming: What I have learned and be grateful for on my way back to China to visit my relatives (5) Take a boat tour around the moat of Quancheng and give thanks. Time flies by for a month, and when the day comes to return, I feel really reluctant to leave. I am really happy and happy to have my daughter by my side for a month. She took me to see a doctor and accompanied me to Beijing. She took the fastest high-speed train in China and arrived in Beijing in just over an hour. She also took time to go to an international brand-name store in the eastern suburbs of Beijing and immediately bought me any clothes I liked. He even took the time to take me to get my hair done, go to a restaurant to eat hairy crabs, Thai food, famous local delicacies in Jinan, etc. In the last three days, he took annual leave to accompany me. The day before I left, he took our brother, sister-in-law and sister on a boat tour around the moat of Quancheng. Touring Quancheng around the moat is expensive, with each ticket costing RMB 100, but it's worth it once the tour is complete. As a river gathered by springs, Jinan Moat is an important part of the "One City, One Lake, One Ring" characteristic landmark area of ​​Quancheng. It has a long history and a collection of scenic spots. The entire moat navigation project lasted four years and was implemented since the beginning of 2007. The full navigation has made Jinan the only city in the country where you can take a boat tour around the characteristic wind belt of the old city. The navigation project built the Zhougong Temple Bridge, Heibei Road Bridge, and Xiaodong Lake Bridge; rebuilt many landscapes such as Wulongtan Bridge, Teenager Bridge, Xinghuamen Bridge, and Baishiquan Bridge. Nearly 200,000 trees, shrubs, evergreens, and aquatic plants were planted, and about 1 million ground cover plants were installed. More than 50,000 night landscape lighting fixtures were installed. The project also completed the construction of Qin Qiong Temple in Wulongtan, the "Eight Scenes of Jinan", the reliefs of "Eying Water Changer", the scene sculptures of "Old Water Mill", and the stone carvings of "Shuntian Gate Ruins" of Nanmen Bridge and other cultural landscapes. As an important part of the project, the spring bath has also been basically completed. The Jinan Moat, which is fully navigable, has a total length of 6.9 kilometers. It is the only river in China that is entirely formed by the confluence of springs. It connects the four major springs of Black Tiger Spring, Baotu Spring, Wulongtan and Pearl Spring into one. Along the way, you can see many famous scenic spots (spots) and representative landscapes of Jinan, such as the spectacular Jiefang Pavilion, Black Tiger Spring where dragons roar and tigers roar, Jinan Living Room Quancheng Square, the best spring in the world Baotu Spring, Wulongtan with different scenery every step of the way, and Quancheng Pearl. Daming Lake and the East Moat wetland, old hydropower station, spring baths and other landscapes can be said to be "one water connects hundreds of sceneries, forming a unique spring sightseeing landscape in the country." We took a boat to watch the colorful scenery on both sides of the strait, with weeping willows on both sides. The vegetation is well-proportioned, and the wetland landscape accompanied by plank roads and waterside pavilions is beautiful and beautiful. Along the way, it passes the four gates of Jinan Old City, including the West Gate, South Gate, North Gate and Old East Gate. LED screens are decorated under the bridge of the extension line of Sanda South Road, and through the electricity. Through brain control, various colorful patterns like willow trees, lotus flowers and fish swimming in the water appeared. Due to the water level difference in the river section, the gate was closed and opened twice, just like the closing and opening of the Three Gorges Dam, but it was not as good as the other. The Three Gorges is spectacular, but this project is still not simple. We also got a glimpse of the scenery of lock closing and opening. After getting off the tour boat, we walked eastward along the south gate of Daming Lake, which is the new development zone of Daming Lake. My brother, sister-in-law, and sister all passed by. When we were tired, they sat on the stone curb by the roadside and waited for me. My daughter accompanied me to find the two-story building where I lived when I was working in the Provincial Machinery Department 45 years ago. The hard work paid off. We actually found the two-story building, but it had changed its appearance. New. A two-story building with six rooms, facing Daming Lake in the south. Looking out of the window, it echoes the Lixia Pavilion in Daming Lake and faces each other across the water. It records everything when I first started working, and the eight glorious years of my early working life were all there. It has left me with many wonderful memories. Now the small building has been renovated. The black and gray bricks are jointed with white ash. It looks clean and beautiful. The walls are covered with green wall crawlers. Looking at the renovated old site, I can't help but think a lot. Thank you. God! By taking this opportunity to return to China, I have seen the earth-shaking development and changes in my hometown. I have also returned to the small building where I once worked, lived, and had many dreams. It’s a unique feeling to visit the old place. I lament that my youth is gone forever, but I don’t regret it, because it was God who found me when I was most confused in life. Give me eternal life for free, let me feel the meaning and value of existence. Jesus Christ has given me the resurrection life. I will also follow the Lord’s will and spread this good news to the relatives and friends I know and those who long for God, to thank God for His love and mercy. All glory and praise must be given to the supreme and obedient God!
