Yongkang baoyan temple

Yongkang River flows slowly through the county seat, reflecting the changes between heaven and earth. The ancient Yongkang River was in the rainy season, and the water depth could be connected by wooden sails. When the water is fierce, big wooden boats can reach Hangzhou downstream, and bamboo rafts can be picked up at ordinary times. In the era when there were no cars, most of the rare local products entering and leaving Yongkang County depended on the shipping of this river. On this river, Shen Yue, a famous poet in the Southern Dynasties, invited friends to go boating and wrote a poem: "Long branches sprout purple leaves, and Qingyuan spreads moss. The mountains are floating and the spring is cold. Believe in water and see beauty, warmth and leisure. Don't leave your sleeves empty when you send a letter to my concubine. " Yongkang River passes through the west of the county seat, and Yongkang people regard it as a water mouth, with obvious geographical location.
