He Jiang, known as Fengshui, has two main sources.

One is Fujiang. The main source of the Fujiang River is the Mai Ling River in the town of Mailing Town, Fuchuan County, south of the city, flowing south through the north of the city and Fuyang into the Guishi Reservoir.

Second, Guiling water. The main source in the south foot of Mengzhu Ling Daning River, flowing south through Guiling, Daning to the southeast of Hejie into the Hejiang River, collectively known as Heshui. Linhe two water after the intersection called Hejiang, to the north south flow through Hexian, Xindu, sealed into the Xijiang River. The basin is 433 kilometers long. Among them, the length of the river basin is 196 kilometers.

A long story

▲ sunrise first bay. Zhang Binchi

Hejiang, formed in the Pleistocene, is an ancient river composed of Cambrian sand shale landforms 500 million years ago. Through expert research, Hejiang is formed from the peak of about 200 meters above sea level facing down erosion, inheriting the original curved river cut down. Because its deep meandering valley also intermittently retains the first to third river terraces and their late Pleistocene alluvial layers.

According to the calculation that the uplift speed of river terrace in Lingnan area is nearly one meter in 10,000 years, the peak surface of 200 meters above sea level is about formed in the early stage of Shangxinzhou or early late Pleistocene. Is the valley inherited during this period, geographically called genetic valley or superimposed valley.

Nine Curved Eighteen

In the whole he river basin, There is a deep "snake song" landform. Among them, The most typical is the white scale to the river mouth this section. Measured, The reach is 16.8 km (straight distance), Bending orderly (like S type) rivers have 15, The curved channel is 50 kilometers long. The curvature is 3, Than 2.74 of the Yangtze plain meander, This is extremely rare in domestic rivers, For the most in the country.

This phenomenon represents the rise of the crust, the ancient "snake qu" form cut into the ground, geographically called "embedded meandering ", about 2 million years old. It is proved that the surface of the "snake qu" plain at that time is the surface of today's "snake qu" plain, and the tropical climate area where the river channel bends and flows. Later, the earth's crust rose, the river cut down, only to form today's Hejiang only 150-200 meters wide, the two sides of the ancient plain into red earth valley.

"Maritime Silk Road" important passage

Hejiang is the main traffic route of south Guangdong, south Guangdong and south China, and the earliest transportation hub between Lingnan and Central Plains.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, Hepu, Dewen and Guangzhou were the ports of origin of the Maritime Silk Road. The goods of import and export trade go up to the north of the Yangtze River through Guangxin Tonghe River. It is the earliest docking passage of the Silk Road on the sea and an important transportation artery of politics, culture and economy in the south of Guling.

Hejiang River Basin culture is the birthplace of Cantonese, one of the birthplaces of Lingnan culture, and an important part of Pearl River culture.

The Spirit of

Water is the spirit of Hejiang, the source of life. Hejiang River from the source down the river, clear bottom of the river, formed a beautiful, picturesque river, constitute the beautiful waterscape of Hejiang River.

With the change of the topography, the river flow has formed the ribbon shape of nine curves and eighteen bends in Fengkai, and the river flow and the coast have changed out the rare landscape of the river in China.

Or such as Hejiang coastal mountains quiet, clear river flow; or such as river flow around crisscross homes, birds and flowers, rice field bamboos, beautiful.

Whether sitting alone on the river, playing in the shoals, walking by the water, or fishing in the river, bamboo raft chasing fish, can be intoxicating.

The Four Seasons

Coastal mountain forest area of more than 300 mu, both straight and neat, vigorous Chinese fir forest, but also cluster shrub forest. The scenery and interest of the deep forest along the Hejiang River change with the season.

Spring, green dyed wasteland, flowers in full bloom. Camellia, azaleas, hanging bell flowers actually bloom each other, fighting for beauty; summer, shade the sun, peak to be like be like Dai, cicadas sing birds; autumn and winter season, blue sky such as washing, forest green oil, wild grapes, sorbets and other wild fruit, hanging branches, pine elegant, bamboo branches green. Whether it is driving to browse, or cutting the forest roaming, are refreshing.
