Drainage function, the west main canal undertakes the function of supplying water to the downstream arid agricultural areas. In order to make full use of the water conservancy and river resources in this area, Kaifeng City has planned and built nearly 9,000 mu of Kaifeng West Lake Scenic Area, and the project officially started construction in April of 20 1 1. The scenic spot starts from Huancheng Dike Road in the west, reaches the first street in the new area in the west, reaches the North Ring Road in the north and Song Cheng Road in the south, with the widest point of 1.2km, the narrowest point of 300m and the north-south length of about 5km. After the completion of Kaifeng West Lake, it will replace the original water system function. First, as a flood discharge channel for flood control and drainage in Kaifeng; Second, it will transport agricultural water to arid agricultural areas; Third, provide ecological water to the ecological water system of new and old cities; Fourth, it will provide domestic water for citizens. Like Hangzhou West Lake, Kaifeng West Lake is a completely open scenic spot. At present, the area of Longting Park is only 1 1,000 mu, and the water surface area is only 700 mu. Kaifeng West Lake Scenic Area is equivalent to nine Long Ting parks, with a water surface area of 6,000 mu, which is equivalent to two-thirds of Hangzhou West Lake. West Lake is divided into six functional areas from north to south, namely, ecological wetland experience area (pregnant water), waterfront leisure business area (happy water), culture and art exhibition area (enjoying water), historical and cultural interpretation area (swimming), humanistic theme experience area (love the water) and ecological village experience area (relaxing water).
In the landscape zone, a scenic spot sightseeing slow lane will be set up throughout the whole journey to facilitate citizens and tourists to visit. In addition, it will be equipped with a battery car transfer station and a bicycle rental system. The leasing system refers to the West Lake model in Hangzhou, with a spacing of 500m/ vehicle. * * * Parking lot 14, with more than 400 bicycle parking spaces. In addition to motor vehicles, the scenic spot also retains motor vehicle traffic connected with the city. It is planned to set up 6 underground parking lots with parking spaces 1620. Kaifeng City Planning Bureau revealed that there is a combined fan curtain fountain on the West Lake, and citizens and tourists can enjoy large-scale water performances. Planning and construction of 13 ancient garden buildings on the east bank of West Lake, reflecting the characteristics of Kaifeng, reflecting the culture of Song Dynasty and enriching the connotation of scenic spots. "In the future, this is not only the back garden of Kaifeng citizens, but also the back garden of friends from all walks of life who love Kaifeng and Song Wenhua." He said. Through the water system of the old and new cities, tourists can easily play in Kaifeng. The reporter learned that the Kaifeng West Lake in the new district and the "four rivers and five lakes" in the old city will eventually hold hands. At present, the third phase of the old city water system project has also entered the agenda. The reporter learned from the relevant departments that the third phase of the project will connect Tieta Lake, Sunshine Lake and the ancient Bianhe River, with a total length of 4,300 meters. By then, the integrated tourism resources will be richer than the second phase of Yu He Scenic Area.
Now, on the north side of Tokyo Avenue, there is an ecological forest belt with a width of about 100 meters, which will become a key link in the water system connection between the old city and the new city. There is a clear water river planned in the ecological forest belt area. The water from Kaifeng West Lake will flow into Huangbian River, all the way south, into Bianhe River, pass through Shuimen Cave, and finally flow into Longting Lake, which will be fully circulated in the old city. At that time, it will no longer be an extravagant hope for foreign tourists to enjoy the four rivers and five lakes in the old city and taste the Kaifeng night market after enjoying the eight scenic spots of the West Lake. In addition, the water system between the old city and the new city will further improve the flood control and drainage capacity of Kaifeng city. The relevant person in charge of Kaifeng Urban Management Bureau said that before the integration of rivers and lakes in the old city, it had the function of collecting rainwater. During heavy rainfall, the first wave of flood peak can be weakened, so as not to form accumulated water soon. After the water system of the old and new urban areas is connected, the rainwater will be unimpeded between the rivers and lakes, and will be discharged from the urban area smoothly through the river.
