The vibrant city of Huizhou, with its West Lake like an ink painting, marks the 40th day of the round-China self-driving tour

On April 23, 2023, the 40th day of the round-China self-driving tour, from Danshui Town, Huidong, Guangdong to Dongguan, Guangdong. The roads are generally wide, especially the highways and main roads, making the traffic very smooth. The green belts on both sides of the road are well maintained, giving a refreshing and comfortable feeling. Zhongshan Road in Huizhou, a historic and commercial pedestrian street. There are many traditional old shops on both sides of the road, carrying unique skills passed down through generations. As you walk deeper, Zhongshan Road gradually reveals the modern commercial side. More than a decade ago, it was bustling with people. Now, it's sparse and no longer prosperous, which is lamentable. Huizhou West Lake has a strong Lingnan style, composed of 'five lakes, six bridges and eight sceneries'. It's like a paradise, quiet and tranquil, away from the hustle and bustle. Walking by the lake, there is a feeling of tranquility. Although it's not as vast as West Lake in Hangzhou, there are many small islands and birds. The Nine-Bend Bridge connects the Pinghu and Diancui Island of Huizhou West Lake. The bridge is winding and gives a deep feeling. Shooting the Nine-Bend Bridge from different angles can achieve different visual effects. The most regrettable thing is the Sizhou Tower, which is now only suitable for appearing as a background in photos. The Zhunti Temple was built in the Ming Dynasty, facing the lake, surrounded by green pines and bamboo. The Zhunti Temple has been rebuilt many times, and I donated tiles (500 yuan) more than a decade ago. From the Zhunti Temple, you can overlook the whole lake, named 'Zhunti Distant View'. Yuanmiao Guan is one of the three famous Taoist temples in China, built in the Tang Dynasty. Since its establishment, Yuanmiao Guan has experienced ups and downs, and has been destroyed and rebuilt many times. Now, it's magnificent with heavy eaves and gorgeous decorations, like a majestic place. Huizhou, with its unique natural scenery. Here are clear lakes, crystal-clear rivers, spectacular coastlines, etc., making people feel the magic and beauty of nature.
