I was freed from it and found that it was different in other places and enjoyed myself. Drive all the way, along the most beautiful Qiandao line of Qiandao Lake, the beautiful landscape of Jiangnan is on the side, the air is also humidified by negative oxygen ions, and the farmer's house is dotted in the mountains, even The rape blossoms bloomed in the gully of the mountains, and the wind blew and swayed. The beautiful scenery made the time on the road drift away, and all of a sudden went to Wenyuan Lion City. The introduction of the tour guide is based on the original memory of the villagers in the ancient city of 1959. The original city of the Millennium City, which has been sunk in Qiandao Lake, has been restored. For me, the thick feeling of history is until I feel in the circle of friends in the circle of friends. A friend saw the high wall closed, the street scene of the horse's head, and talked privately about his grandfather's story. The grandfather's generation originally lived in the current Shicheng Lake at the bottom of the Qiandao Lake, but because of the construction of the Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station more than 50 years ago, The family "immigrant" arrived in Hangzhou, and his father was separated from the little girl "Cui Cui" who was a childhood friend. When I said this, I made up my own brain to make up the story of the N set. On the east street of the Lion City, there is a scream of screams, and the sounds of the bones, the mouth skills, the rivers and lakes and other stunts are reappearing, and the skills are exquisite; the girls wearing cheongsams are slowly coming, laughing and smiling. In the old Ming Dynasty, the human rickshaw was lined up; Wang Ers son dragged the water truck, and Ding was smashed; the 18-cup stove was full of fire and scented... until the guides seven-story archway explained, let me In the dream of the Republic of China, I came back to God.

In 1959, to construct the largest hydropower hub project in the nation at the time - the Xin'an River Hydropower Station, two ancient county towns with a thousand years of history, Hecheng and Shicheng, along with 27 townships and over 1000 villages, quietly sank into the vast blue depths of the lake. 290,000 people were relocated to provinces such as Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Anhui, Qinghai, Ningxia, and Xinjiang. Outside of Zhejiang, Jiangxi province received the most immigrants, with a total of 64,680 people. The original counties of Chun'an and Sui'an were merged into Chun'an County, which was under the jurisdiction of Jinhua. In 1963, Chun'an was reassigned to Hangzhou. In 1984, the Xin'an River Reservoir was renamed Qiandao Lake. The ancient city of Chun'an, also known as Hecheng, was almost completely dismantled before the water storage. The ancient city of Sui'an, also known as Shicheng, was preserved intact due to the rapid rise in water levels that made it impossible to dismantle in time. In 2001, relevant departments conducted an 11-month exploration of the underwater Lion City. It was discovered that when the water level was at 99 meters, the ancient city was situated 25-35 meters underwater, with the year-round water temperature maintained at around 10°C. The overall layout of the underwater ancient city was intact, with most of the city walls undamaged, and wooden structures such as houses, ancestral halls, and temples standing tall and uncorroded. Even the carved patterns on the archways from the Ming and Qing dynasties were clearly visible. At this moment, it's as if one has traveled through a time tunnel to 1959, and one can almost hear the laughter of residents walking through the streets. Time can never pause, except for the ancient city at the bottom of the lake. The underwater ancient city is a unique tourism resource in the country. How to let tourists enjoy a close-up view while making a good profit? Various development proposals such as submarine tours, lowering the water level, wall drainage, and floating tunnels were put forward and rejected one by one, and the built submarines were not approved for launch. Ultimately, the Qiandao Lake Underwater Ancient City Protection Area was established. Boating, fishing, and sand mining are prohibited. Since the underwater ancient city can only silently sleep at the bottom of the lake, why not 'rebuild' it elsewhere? In 2016, after more than a thousand days and nights and an investment of 600 million yuan, the 'Wen Yuan Lion City' was completely revived on the shores of Qiandao Lake in the charming town of Jiangjia Town. The most bustling East and North Streets were meticulously replicated based on the actual scenes of the underwater Lion City. Seven beautifully carved 'thousand-year-old demons' - seven stone archways, emerged from the water, telling us the stories that have unfolded in the underwater Lion City over the centuries. Some of the ancient city's commercial and residential buildings have also been 'revived' to their original state. The culture, scenery, and stories locked in the underwater ancient city have thus resurfaced with a new face. Wandering through Wen Yuan Lion City, what surprises people the most is the experience of time travel and revival. Unfortunately, perhaps because it is too far from the county town and inconvenient for tourists, or perhaps because replicas can never compare with the originals, despite free admission, the number of visitors to Wen Yuan Lion City is still very few, and many shops have no choice but to close down. 📍Detailed address: Center of Jiangjia Town, a famous charming town by Qiandao Lake, Chun'an County, Hangzhou Ticket price: Free Time reference: 1 hour

Jiangjiazhen is located in the southwest of Chun'an County, 39 kilometers away from the county seat. It is bordered by Jieshou Township to the east, Qiandao Lake to the southwest, and Langchuan Township to the west, and is one of the first batch of 13 'charming towns' in Hangzhou. Jiangjiazhen is surrounded by the lake on three sides and mountains on one side, with the town in the lake and the lake in the town, under the blue sky and white clouds, bowing to the rippling blue waves, it is a typical Jiangnan landscape town. Jiangjiazhen relies on the mountains and waters for its livelihood, and has built a 4A-level tourist attraction Wenyuan Lion City, a 3A-level tourist attraction Longchuan Bay, as well as Yihe Water Park, Haisheng Music Park, Hanhong Ink Fragrance Hall, and Longchuan Bay International Fishing Center. Visitors who come to Jiangjiazhen for the first time will definitely be attracted by several strange archways beside the Qiandao Lake Greenway. The first archway has eight big characters on the left side that read 'Underwater ancient city, home on the shore.' It turns out that Jiangjiazhen is the birthplace of the Sui'an civilization and the land where the Xin'an culture continues. At the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Hong Shaodan, the Minister of the Army, retired to Jiangjia Kangtang. Zhu Xi, a famous Neo-Confucian scholar of the Song Dynasty, visited Jiangjiazhen many times for cultural lectures, and cultural relics such as Yingshan Academy and Baiqin Tower still exist. In 1959, due to the construction of the Xin'an River Reservoir, the ancient city of Sui'an - Lion City, sank to the bottom of the lake, which is the source of Jiangjiazhen's historical context. After the Lion City was submerged under the lake, the name of Sui'an County ceased to exist. Some residents moved far away, while others settled nearby. Lion City has become their lingering nostalgia. Jiangjiazhen is not large in area, with a permanent population of just over ten thousand. On both sides of the antique streets, Huizhou-style buildings stand in rows, complementing the architectural style of Wenyuan Lion City, vividly telling the story of a city's vicissitudes and changes. 📍Detailed address: Jiangjiazhen, Chun'an County, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province

Because of the construction of the reservoir, a thousand-year-old ancient city was left under the water forever. That was the then Suian County seat - Lion City, which is now submerged at the bottom of Qiandao Lake. This city was first built in the Tang Dynasty and still retains the layout of that period. There are many historical sites in the city. In 2012, a CCTV program exploring the ancient underwater city of Qiandao Lake brought this thousand-year-old city back into people’s attention. Today, in Jiangjia Town on the shore of Qiandao Lake, people have perfectly reproduced the ancient city’s most lively North Street and East Street, presenting this underwater ancient city to the world and recreating the grand occasion of that time. However, man-made things still lack some connotation. Although it is a replica of the ancient city, it gives me the feeling of a commercialized ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River. What impressed me most were the seven archways on the street. Although they were replicas, they looked antique and each archway had its own story! Wenyuan Lion City can be seen as a carrier of a generation of culture, allowing the "incense" of the underwater Lion City to continue. Although it is somewhat commercialized, it at least allows people to remember that under the calm surface of Qiandao Lake, there is a thousand-year-old ancient city that has experienced vicissitudes of life.

In the 4th year of Tang Wude, Chun'an County moved to the border of Chun'an and the ancient lion city was born. Due to the convenient water and land transportation, it quickly became the important town on the ancient commercial road of Huihang. It is called Xiaotianfu in the west of Zhejiang. In 1959, Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station built a new dam to store water, and the Lion City was flooded by the vast expanse of blue water, bringing together the beautiful Thousand Island Lake. For half a century, the crystal clear waters have carefully taken care of this ancient city of the millennium. Therefore, thousands of islands under the thousand-year-old ancient lion city gradually became familiar, and yearning for the return of the lion city. Wenyuan Lion City is a replica of the underwater ancient city. Outside the door, two heavens and earth. In the Lion City, the surprise is turning around. The ancients clubbing, foreigners watching the drama, I will hear the church in the Lion City, there are many ways to play

Mentioned the Lion City, many people may not have heard of it now. Because in the 1950s, in order to build the Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station, the ancient city of more than a thousand years of history sank into the bottom of the water and was isolated from the world. Want to know about the Lion City, you must first talk about Chun'an County. In the 13th year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (208 years), Xinding County was set up, and the first year of the Western Jin Dynasty Taikang (280 years) was changed to Chun'an County. It was inundated in 1959 because of the storage of the Xin'anjiang Reservoir. In the past 1339, the Lion City It has always been the county seat of Chun'an County and the political, economic and cultural center of Chun'an County. was merged into Chun'an County in 1958. In the second year, because of the construction of Xin'anjiang Reservoir, the ancient city of Lion City was submerged under the water and isolated from the world. The ancient city of Shicheng at the bottom of Qiandao Lake is a cultural relic protection unit. Ordinary people can't take a look at it. However, in 2016, in Jiangjia Town, Chun'an County on the edge of Qiandao Lake, it was restored according to the original appearance of the Lion City. New ancient city. Neat stone road, the ancient city is a large-scale Huizhou architecture, the powder wall tiles look antique. More important is the culture here. The ancient city is called the Lion City.

Three hours from the west of Hangzhou, you can reach the famous Thousand Island Lake. Thousand Island Lake is located in Chun'an County of Hangzhou City. It is also the farthest county in the city of Hangzhou. Qiandao Lake is made up of several small islands, where the air is fresh and the environment is superb. In 1959, due to the construction of the Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station, two ancient Huizhou villages named "Shicheng" and "Hecheng" were flooded under the Qiandao Lake overnight. Before the construction of the hydropower station, more than 1,000 small islands in Qiandao Lake were actually many mountain peaks. After the construction of the hydropower station, the water of Xin'an River was introduced here, flooding the villages and peaks, and it became the Qiandao Lake Scenic Area of today. This lion city is now re-modeled in order to commemorate this place.

Qiandao Lake in Hangzhou is one of the most beautiful scenic spots in Zhejiang. It is also the source of pure water from Nongfu Spring. It is famous for its excellent water quality and delicious fish head in Qiandao Lake. However, this lake is actually an artificial lake, and the history is not too long. It is less than 60 years old. Under the Qiandao Lake, two ancient cities of the millennium were inundated. In Jiangjia Town, southwestern Lake District of Qiandao Lake, there is an ancient city that has just been built for more than a year, called Wenyuan Lion City. Now it is a tourist scenic spot, which is reconstructed according to the lion city at the bottom of the lake. Shortly after the founding of New China, the first hydropower station was built, and it was chosen as the copper official at the junction of Zhejiang Chun'an and Jiande. At that time, there was no Qiandao Lake. The location of Qiandao Lake was a continuous mountain, and two ancient cities, Chun'an and Chun'an. The county town of Chun'an is also called "Hecheng", and the county town of Chun'an is called "Shicheng". In 1959, the Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station began to store water, and the Qiandao Lake was formed. The more than a thousand islands on the lake were originally a mountain, and the two ancient cities of Hecheng and Shicheng were permanently submerged under water. However, the situation in these two ancient cities is different. Hecheng was carefully prepared before the flooding, the residents had already moved, the ancient city was also demolished, and there were not many reservations. The Lion City was not far ahead due to the distance from the center of the impoundment, and the result was a hasty evacuation. The ancient city has been completely preserved.
