Basic introduction of Pantang

In the west of Guangzhou. Pantang was originally Liu Yu Garden in the Southern Han Dynasty, and it was also one of the former sites of Xiyuan. In the Southern Han Dynasty, it was a river beach, with many ponds and depressions, which were called semi-ponds. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty (1736— 1795), it was changed to Pantang. 1958, the government called on the masses to volunteer to dig Liwan Lake in Pantang, and then build Liwan Lake Park. In 2007, the Guangzhou Municipal People's Government planned to demolish the houses in Pantang, leaving 36,000 square meters of land to be merged into Liwan Lake Park. Pantang is located in Xiguan, Guangzhou, which is the area around Panxi Hotel, Liwan Lake Park, Jinlong West Road and Pantang.

Legend has it that there were five kinds of plants in ancient times: lotus root, water chestnut, bamboo shoot, horseshoe and arrowhead. However, because of the fertile soil and water in Pantang area, these five things are particularly beautiful, so they have won the reputation of "five shows". ), which is no different from those planted in other places, but then one day, five farmers visited the Longwang Temple near Jinlong Bridge (which no longer exists). That night, Wang lung reported a dream and asked Pantang to connect with the Jinlong River, so that the five objects were more beautiful. The next day, five farmers told their dreams, and the result was the same. So, the villagers of Jinlong and Pantang joined forces to connect the two waters, and the water source became alive, which not only grew beautiful plants, but also improved the geomantic omen of Xiguan, because geographically, Panxi and Liwan are the "green dragons" of Xiguan, and the whole Xiguan is naturally lucky. Therefore, in the Ming and Qing dynasties and the early years of the Republic of China, Xiguan has been full of talents until now. Many influential people like Zhan Tianyou and Jiang Guangnai lived in Duobao Road, Baoyuan Road, Fengyuan Road and Changhua Street. In the 1950s, Pantang opened an artificial lake, Liwan Lake, and the original Western District was renamed Liwan District. On the eve of 20 10 Guangzhou Asian Games, after a round of large-scale construction, the river course of Lizhi Bay was reconstructed in the "Feng Shui Foundation" of Panxi Restaurant and the lakeside of Liwan, allowing flower boats to shuttle through it and rebuild the scenic spots. Old people can eat delicious "boat porridge" on the boat in the new litchi Bay again.
