Comparison photos around 20 years, the changes in the river beach are so big

This year, the 20th anniversary of the completion of Hankou River Beach. In the past 20 years, I have seen it with my own eyes. From the former mud shore beach, the factory pier to the factory pier to now become a green and harmonious ecological beauty, not only let citizens share urban development The dividend of this Yangtze River has also become more and more loud.

Continue to take a lot of great changes in 20 years, and I feel like a thousand

Zou Youqin's new and old scenery of Hankou River Beach. (I have a picture)

I was born in Jiangxi from Guizhou. In 1993, after the troops transferred, I came to the Wuhan Flood Control Office (now Market Water Affairs Bureau) to work. The work unit is only separated from Hankou Jiangtan.

However, the Jiangtan at that time was not the same as it is now.

In 1993, a cold and cold dusk, after get off work, I took a camera to the then Pier of the then Yuehan Wharf at the time and took a photo. In the photo, the Jiangtan embankment is just a soil slope. There is still a large road along the Yangtze River Avenue. There are only old and low houses and earthen embankments on the side of the road. The commemorative monument in front of it is the only highlight in the picture.

I have special feelings for Jiangtan because of water work. Although there was no garden landscape at the time at the time, it was not satisfactory, but I often came here to shoot.

In 1998, the special flood came. What was the scene in the Hankou River Beach Defense at this time? One day at the end of July of that year, I carried my camera near Yiyuan Road and wanted to board the shooting. At that time, I came to a high -rise building construction site, stepped on wooden boards and bricks, climbed the building to 26 floors, and looked out of the window -the river rose, and the houses and factories in the flood dyke were flooded. I use the camera to capture this picture.

At that time, Wuhan was conducting research and demonstration on the construction of Hankou River Beach. My photo is widely spread in the water system, which also allows relevant parties to recognize the importance and urgency of riverside remediation.

"The combination of urban flood prevention and urban landscape", soon, I heard this loud design concept. In September 2002, the construction of the first phase of the Hankou Jiangtan was completed. After that, the second, third, and fourth phases of Hankou Jiangtan started and completed.

Looking at the crescents of Hankou Jiangtan, I rolled out the old photos of the Jiangtan I took, and I was so emotional that I decided to take today to take today's style. In the past 20 years, I have shot nearly 60 groups of new and old landscapes in Hankou Jiangtan.

In July 2019, I raised the drone to the high altitude, and the shooting point more than 20 years ago took a photo for the Jiangtan again. The green trees are linked, the water is wide, and the Hankou River Beach is so charming, which makes me emotion. The beautiful river beach is built bit by bit.

Foreign research groups and foreign tourists are coming

"Jiangtan is not only in China, but also the world."

After the first and second phases of Hankou Jiangtan, as a worker in Wuhan, I felt extremely proud.

Due to work needs, in those years, I often accompanied various types of inspection groups in the field to investigate Hankou River Beach. At that time, Hankou Jiangtan attracted national attention. Various foreign research activities continued, and sometimes three or four staff members were received a day.

I remember that after the investigators from outside the country came to Jiangtan, many people exclaimed "too beautiful!" "Stunning!" "Jiangtan can still be built like this!" They took pictures with their mobile phones, and they also said that they would learn to learn from.

One day in the summer of 2012, the investigation team of the Taizhou Water Affairs Department in Jiangsu made a special trip to the construction of Jiangtan. On behalf of the Municipal Water Affairs Bureau, I accompanied the visit. When I came to Hankou Jiangtan Phase II Glass Plaza, someone asked me: "What unit is designed here?" I proudly told them: "It is Wuhan City Flood Control Survey and Design Institute." They immediately asked the relevant responsibility to be responsible for responsibility Human call. It is reported that Taizhou was building a local Jiangtan project at that time, but was not satisfied with the design plan, and sent someone to "learn" in Han. After docking, experts from the Wuhan City Flood Control Survey and Design Institute went to Taizhou several times to inspect and come up with the design plan. In the end, the plan was adopted by Taizhou.

In the process of shooting Jiangtan, I was surprised to find that the natural and humanistic scenery here made foreigners very intoxicated.

In 2014, Zou Youqin photographed a foreign lady in Hankou River Beach holding the little daughter with one hand and took a SLR camera to shoot the beautiful scenery of the river beach. (I have a picture)

One day in the fall of 2014, I took an interesting photo. That day, I found in the Hankou Jiangtan that a foreign lady was holding a little daughter in one hand and a SLR camera with a professional lens in one hand to shoot the beautiful scenery of the Jiangtan beach. I came to them to shoot, and the mother didn't even feel my existence and was still in place.

In 2017, at the annual Hankou River Beach's "May Day Low Carbon Wedding", I saw a pair of foreign couple tourists holding a card camera and facing the newcomers who joined the venue to take pictures carefully. At this time, male foreign tourists stepped into the pool on the periphery of the stage without paying attention to the water, and the camera fell into the water. Not only did he not be annoyed, he also laughed and enjoyed joy.

Today's Hankou River Beach is not only a benchmark for similar domestic projects, but also more and more international. It is not only China, but also the world.

The river beach wetland takes a shot, and you can always find "surprise" here

Hankou River Beach not only has become more and more beautiful, but the ecological environment is also steadily improved. With the camera, you can always capture "surprise" in the Jiangtan. On September 8, I came to the Jiangtan Wetland in the Yangtze River New District to shoot. At a dried water pit at the western end of the Zhujiaheqiao, I was holding the camera. Suddenly, an animal resembling foxes in the reeds of about 50 meters in front of it, foraging around. I was happy in my heart, and quickly squatted down, and stabilized the camera to press the shutter. But unfortunately, when I tried to rely on closer, the animal alertly ran into the reed.

At that time, I thought it was a fox, but after the media reporter, I recognized the experts of Wuhan Zoo that it was determined that it was not a fox, but the national second -level protection of wild animals. Wildlife is the best proof of the improvement of the ecological environment of the river beach.

In the past few years, the photographers have lamented that many birds that have not been seen in the Jiangtan have slowly entered our shots -Hongyan, King Bird, Dai Sheng, Bandbird, Owl ... There are also more and more varieties. There are cherry blossoms in spring, magnolia in summer, golden cinnamon in autumn, and wax plums in winter. The friends of the photographer said that the endless creative inspiration and passion of Hankou River Beach is the endless source of creation of photography enthusiasts.

This year, I am planning to take a group of new old scenes of Hankou Jiangtan Gate. Those monotonous and cold old gates have become a park entrance with full design and cultural charm. Let us sigh in the image again. Jiangtan butterfly changes, urban progress.
