Why is the Chao Phraya River the Venice of the East?

In 1782, King Rama I of Bangkok moved the capital from Thonburi to Bangkok. At that time, it was a large area of depression, and later it was gradually built into a water capital with rivers and canals, boats shuttling, and streets interlacing, so it was called the "Venice of the East".

It mainly refers to the fact that Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, near the mouth of the Chao Phraya River, has a similar cultural scene as Venice: the urban area is full of rivers, bridges, and developed water transportation.

In 1782, King Rama I of Bangkok moved the capital from Thonburi to Bangkok. At that time, it was a large area of depression, and later it was gradually built into a water capital with rivers and canals, boats shuttling, and streets taking pins and pins, so it was called the "Venice of the East".

Because there are a lot of boats there.

Suzhou in our province is the Venice of the East.

It mainly refers to the fact that Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, near the mouth of the Chaonan Zhizao River, has a similar cultural scene as Venice: the urban area is full of rivers, bridges, and lakes, and water transportation is developed.

In the early years, the nickname of the Bangkok generation was Rangsen Oriental Tangrand Venice.

The waterways and canals crisscross it, which is why the floating market is so famous.

However, with the development of the economy, the spring is filled and covered.

The amount and flow of the river are not as good as they were back then.

There is basically not much left, and when it comes to sudden climate change, it is naturally too late to react.

Because Shaoxing is very rich in water resources, it is called the "Venice of the East".

The total amount of water resources in Shaoxing is 100 million cubic meters, an increase of 3% over the average of 100 million cubic meters for many years. Among them, the surface water resources are 100 million cubic meters, accounting for the total water resources.

Water production coefficient, water production modulus tens of thousands of cubic meters square kilometers. The per capita water resources are 1,500 cubic meters, which is higher than the average per capita water resources for many years.

There are 17 large and medium-sized reservoirs in Shaoxing, with a storage capacity of 100 million cubic meters at the end of the year, an increase from the storage capacity (100 million cubic meters) at the end of 2008.

There are many rivers and bridges.

Shaoxing is such a famous water city with strong local colors. On the ancient fiber road, there are 1,900 kilometers of large and small rivers and more than 4,000 bridges, constituting a typical scenery of water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

The East Lake Cave Bridge reflects each other, and the water is blue in the sky; The five leaks of the stream spring fly into a waterfall, and the five folds are square; Ke rock scenery, ghostly axe; Lanting is known as a calligraphy resort for Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface"; Shen Yuan sighed because of the love tragedy of Lu You and Tang Wan;

In addition, there are Tang Dynasty fiber road, Southern Song Dynasty six tombs, Ming and Qing Dynasty stone arch bridges and related Shaoxing customs, represented by Wupeng boats, black felt hats, and Wugan dishes, which have accumulated rich cultural connotations and presented a unique local style in thousands of years of historical evolution, which is admirable and fascinating.

Because Shaoxing is small and staggered through the city, there is a river in front of the house of the old and the young, which is similar to Venice, so it is called the Venice of the East.

Suzhou, an ancient city with a history of 2,500 years, has a long history with Italy. As early as the twelfth century, Marco Polo wrote, "Suzhou bears a striking resemblance to Venice, Italy." So that Suzhou's reputation as the "Venice of the East" has spread far and wide.

Since 1980, when Suzhou and Venice became sister cities, the two sides have had close exchanges in culture, economy and other fields.

The water area of Suzhou accounts for 42% of the total area, and two-thirds of the waters of Taihu Lake are within its borders, such as the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the Yangtze River, Yangcheng Lake, Jinji Lake, and the ancient city river, as well as the small bridges and flowing water all over the ancient city.

If Suzhou, the "Venice of the East", is an ink painting, then the Venice Water City in Italy is a rich watercolor painting; The "Venice of the East" Suzhou is delicate and delicate, while the Italian Venice water city is majestic and quiet.

In November 2005, Tongli, a famous water town in Suzhou, ushered in the first "foreign mayor" in history - Perez, deputy mayor of Venice, Italy. After savoring the "water town delicacies" served in Tongli, Perez was happily hired as the honorary mayor of Tongli Town.

Tongli and Venice have many things in common: they both have "water" as their soul, have a long history, a deep culture, a quiet living atmosphere, and a hospitable and simple people.

He said that Marco Polo, a Venetian, lamented that there were too many similarities between China's water towns and his homeland. "I came to Tongli today with the same feelings as Marco Polo," he readily agreed, willing to serve as Tongli's ambassador for life.
