Renaming the West Lake is obviously rubbing against Hangzhou, but you are so famous that it is worthwhile to rub against the gentle hometown of Jiangnan. Dong Shi is effective! I lost my culture.
The five mountains of Mount Tai are exclusive, not the highest, not the most dangerous, not the strangest, not the most beautiful, but the special emperors only worship Mount Tai, and they have to choose those with literary talent and martial arts. Other mountain emperors went to add color to the place, but Mount Tai was his name, not to mention the splendid culture contained in the word Mount Tai. Taian is the town name of Guotai Min 'an.
Originally, the name was taboo, and the name of Tianpinghu was a little big, but who else lived in the town except Mount Tai? Who dares to scream if we don't? Therefore, there are a series of dragon-shaped water systems around Mount Tai, such as Tianyi Lake, Tianze Lake and Tianlong Lake. Don't learn from the beautiful women in Jiangnan, Shandong. Even if the name of Dahe Reservoir is original, it also has the lost artistic conception of the river, which is much better than copying the West Lake. What's more, the balance of the world is peaceful, which corresponds to the peace in Tai 'an.
Similarly, the Longxi Hotel on the lakeside of Tian Ping said that it would be renamed Wang Yue Guest House, and suddenly it had a sense of sight as the hostess of the county.
There is a shortage of water in the north, and there is a treasure trove of geomantic omen at the foot of Mount Tai. Don't be stingy with garden design or name. Finally, I still emphasize: no culture is not terrible, just afraid of being arty!
Personally, it is not as good as Tianpinghu or Hu Taiping. Walking Tai 'an West Lake feels like a high imitation of Zhejiang West Lake.
Tianping Lake is good. Tai 'an means the country is rich and strong, the people are safe, and balance means world peace. The West Lake is a bit kitsch and has lost its naming concept.
Tai 'an already has East Lake and South Lake, so it is very appropriate to change Tianping Lake into West Lake. Besides, Mount Tai is in the north, forming a unique landscape of Tai 'an with three lakes and one mountain.
Or should it be called Tianpinghu, a peaceful country, a peaceful people and a peaceful world. [Like] [Like] [Like] [Like] [Like] [Like] [Like] [Like] [Like]
Let's call it Tianpinghu, because Taian has formed a series of "Tian" characters for the names of water areas: Tianpinghu, Tianyi Lake, Wuhu and Tianlong Lake. In fact, every city has its own West Lake. There are 36 West Lakes in China, including 9 in Zhejiang, 4 in Guangdong, Hunan and Sichuan, 3 in Jiangxi, 2 in Hebei, 4 in Fujian, and 4 in Jiangsu, Guangxi, Yunnan, Hubei, Henan, Anhui, Shandong and Shaanxi 1. In addition, there is the West Lake in Hanoi, Vietnam. If Tianping Lake is called Tai 'an West Lake because it is in the west of Taicheng, it is often the same as East Lake and South Lake, just like every family had many children in the past, so it is called Zhang Laoda, Li, Wang He in the ranking. There is no feeling of a name. Of course, because the West Lake is a symbol of Hangzhou, such as Tai 'an West Lake, it is really boring for foreigners to compare it with Hangzhou West Lake.
I have never been to Tai 'an, but from the name, Tai 'an West Lake should better reflect the value of Tai 'an! You must visit Tianpinghu and Tai 'an West Lake when you have the chance. Read thousands of books, go to Wan Li Road, broaden your horizons and increase your knowledge.
This is a panoramic view of the ancient town of Qingmuchuan taken last night. I like traveling, taking photos and making videos. Because I like it, I love it. Plus, now that I'm retired and have leisure time, I can walk around and have a look.
Mount Tai West Lake has a good name. A few days ago, I accidentally dug out a photo of a cruise ship with my comrades in Dahe Reservoir 35 years ago. It says: Taishan West Lake, it seems that this name was used many years ago, and I remember that Tai 'an East Lake was built in 1986, not far from the east of the military sub-district and close to Dongguan Village. At that time, it was said that it was funded by Dongguan Village. I went to see it with my comrades-in-arms, and it felt quite small, which was nothing compared with Dahe Reservoir. It was built on all sides, and the square was quite neat. Dahe Reservoir was far away from the urban area at that time, and there were no facilities around it. From Wangshan Hotel to the west, there are not many buildings on both sides of the road. In front of the building in northern Henan, it is the barracks of our army, and the location is now Guoshanshu Community. The liquefied gas station in the south is also desolate. The two places with the deepest memories to the west, Dahe Reservoir and Dahe Cotton Mill, have changed a lot now. Only Taishan Middle School still retains the original.
Tianpinghu, originally unique to Tai 'an, was later renamed Taishan West Lake by others. The name sounds like a second-hand copy of the shanzhai version, vulgar and without cultural elements. Many place names with cultural symbols in Tai 'an have never been consulted by the public, and they are all casually mentioned by the government. You have the ability to be an official? Is an official literate? The parents' consciousness and style of official families are out of step with the times.
I live in Tai 'an, with Mount Tai behind me. According to Tianping Lake and Taishan West Lake pointed out in your question, I think this question should start with Dahe Reservoir, and slowly see how this reservoir has changed from a reservoir to a lake, from a lake to a park, and from a park to a scenic spot.
Dahe Reservoir is well known to the old Tai 'an people, including many people now. Construction of the reservoir started around 1958, and was completed and put into use on 1960. Its main function in those days was flood control and irrigation, which played the role of water storage, because it was backed by Mount Tai, also known as "Daihu".
A few years ago, with the development of tourism in the city, it was renamed Tianpinghu, and the surrounding tourist facilities were gradually improved, forming a tourist feature: Tianpinghu Park. It has attracted many citizens to see the renovation of Dahe Reservoir. At that time, Tianpinghu Park had played many roles, including tourism, water supply and power generation. The city is developing on a large scale. On May 1 day, 2020, Tianpinghu Park officially became Mount Tai West Lake Scenic Area.
At present, the most attractive facility for tourists in Taishan West Lake Scenic Area is the "highest" fountain in Asia. During the May Day holiday, the popularity was bursting, and the fountain blew up the circle of friends and major news media.
I think both Dahe Reservoir, Tianpinghu Park and today's Taishan West Lake are of epoch value and represent a certain period. However, what we see is more and more beautiful and has more and more tourism value. Therefore, only progress and development can reflect the real value of Taian!
