Haifeng is high in the north and low in the south, and rivers flow into the sea from north to south. The Jinlong River in the east of Haicheng originates from Yin Pingshan and flows into Xiaojin Longshan (Lujing) and Chian River. The confluence of large and small liquid rivers is the Three Rivers. In ancient times, when traffic was underdeveloped and transportation channels were relatively simple, rivers not only added color to a city, but also became an indispensable carrier for inland cities.
Jinlong slowly flows south, and Peng Pai's former residence, Zhunti Pavilion, Haifeng Farmers' Association and other historical sites are all located by the river.
According to historical records, before liberation, there was only one stone bridge on the Jinlong River, which was built in the seventh year of Tianshun in the Ming Dynasty (1463) with a total length of 80 meters. It not only adds color to the Jinlong River, but also adds a good place for people who like fishing songs and water features. Main street, an important ancient street connecting Haifeng County.
Now, on the Jinlong River, the Jinlong Bridge, the North Bridge, the South Bridge and the Third Ring Bridge have been built one after another. The river bank is covered with trees and flowers. The golden dragon at night is brightly lit and picturesque.
Jinlong yuchang
In the past, the Jinlong River was clear and deep, with a lot of fish and shrimp, so fishing boats shuttled in the net to fish and sing water songs. Especially at night, many fishermen like to sing while fishing on the Jinlong River to express their joy of harvest. In addition, there are many people on both sides of the strait who echo each other and form a beautiful picture together. Therefore, Jinlong fishermen sing, especially at night, which rhymes more beautifully, so it is called "Golden Dragon Night Song". It is one of the eight ancient scenes of Haifeng. Many Haifeng literati dedicated their poems to the beautiful scenery of Jinlong River and its surface.
People merged Jinlong and its downstream Lijiang River basin into Lijiang River basin. We are surprised to find that eight scenic spots meet regularly: Yinping Waterfall, Lotus Peak, Wanshou Xiaozhong, Jinlong Fishing Song, Lijiang Moonlight, Changsha Night Rain and Haimen Tide, all of which are located in the Lijiang River Basin. What's even more surprising is that Jinlong Fishing Song ranks among the top seven scenic spots. It is difficult to prove whether this is a coincidence or an intentional arrangement by the ancients.
