Dahe Tao · Walking Hand 丨 A city moisturizing

I heard that Aksu is known as "White Water City". He has always been curious in his heart. In a drought and water shortage place like Xinjiang, there must be different stories in cities with water content? On July 31st, the "Big River Torrent" reporting group flowed down along the tower river and came to Aksu City. I was fortunate to feel the charm of the water and water culture of Aksu City in close distance.

People say that water is the source of life. Once there is water, the land of this side has aura, and it will gather the trace of human reproduction and form a unique cultural culture.

Where is the most water in Aksu? Under the guidance of the locals, my first stop first came to the Aksu National Wetland Park. Managers said that there was a tattered wasteland here. There were several fish ponds and peasant orchards sporadic. Later, after planning, in 2018, The current Aksu National Wetland Park has been built with an area of ​​5,000 acres.

On the road of twists and turns in Wetland Park, I encountered the sweetness of a family of three riding a bicycle; I encountered the "Merlog" that was freely hovering on the lake; Such as the lake of the mirror. When walking, you will be in nature, and every time you breathe are enjoying the freshest air.

In the afternoon, when the hot sunshine gradually faded, I came to the many waves in Aksu. It was once the sources of scars and pollution of the city. Now, after governance and living environment, it has become a large city water system landscape in Aksu. The river channel of 9.5 kilometers has four parks in series. Each park has its own cultural theme, showing the beautiful scenery of "a bay to the city".

From Aksu National Wetland Park to the landscape of the Dorang River, water is pretty of Aksu's face value, which improves the quality of the city, and also shows people's harmonious blending scrolls of water and people, water and cities, water and nature.

The water in Aksu is from the Tianshan Glacier to melt the water in the north. The water is clear and transparent. It flows down the mountains and stimulates the white waves. Therefore, it is called "white water". After irrigating the farmland, these glacial water still went down all the way, and eventually injected into the Tarim River dry flow to nourish the wider land in the lower reaches.

Water is the lifeblood of the people of all ethnic groups in Aksu. People here are born of water, cities are named after the water, and they are developing due to water. In recent years, Aksu City has connected the advantages of water resources with ecological protection and human landscapes, so as to do water articles, answer ecological rolls, and truly moisturize water into people's hearts.
