濠河简介

濠河简介

濠河原是南通城的护城河。

Nantong is known as a garden city with unique attraction. Hao River is original from her ancient moat. Hao just means a moat.

这艘龙（凤）舫将载着我们沿河而行，了解环濠河博物馆群，感受浪漫“东方威尼斯”水城的魅力。

This dragon boat will take us to enjoy the scenery along with the river. On the river, you can see the museums around Hao River and be affected by this“Oriental Venice”---Nantong.

濠河分为东南、北濠河和西南三大景区, 就像是这座水城的翡翠项链。

Hao River is divided into three zones, south-east zone, north zone and south-west zone, which is just like an emerald necklace on this old Oriental city.

东南濠河景区：这里的照明使用了不消耗电能的太阳能柱灯；柔美的光色朦胧又浪漫。

We are now in the south-east zone. Instead of using norm energy, here all the lights are adopted with solar energy, mellow and romantic.

濠河的形成是和南通古城的历史紧密联系在一起的。

Hao River was shaped by the history of this city.

南北朝时（1500年前），南通还处在茫茫的江水之中，是万里长江入海口的一块沙洲。随着时间的推移，由于泥沙的大量沉积，水中沙洲逐渐与大陆连接，形成了一片新生的陆地。

Nearly 1500 years ago, Nantong was just a sand bar in Yangtz River. As the time went by, giant mud and sand was deposited and aggraded. Stage by stage, the sandbar was linked to mainland and a new land was come into being-----That is Nantong.

现在的濠河周长10公里，内外河岸线40华里，水面有1040亩，最宽处达215米，形同湖泊；最窄处仅10米，状若丝带。

Currently, the perimeter of Hao River is 10 kilometers. The width most is 215m and the most narrow place is only 10m.

在我们的右手边，是南通的蓝印花布博物馆。从唐代至今（1200年前），南通蓝印花布一直处于世界领先水平，去该馆可以亲身体验这一古老的印染工艺。

At our right side, you can see a Blue Calico Museum. From Tang Dynasty, the technic of our blue calico had been the international advanced level. If you have interests, you can come here to experience this ancient printing and dying art.

前面的那座桥叫友谊桥。

In front of us is a bridge named friendship, standing we have good friendship forever.

城隍庙：当年是市中心最有影响力的道教庙宇，后来原状迁建到这里。濠河两边生态环境、人居环境和历史文化景观和谐共存，交相辉映，构成了濠河独有的魅力。

City Temple is a temple for Taoism, the citizens and tourists often visit and pray there.

新乐桥：这儿是濠河的进水口，通过提水泵站引入长江水，当然也在南部利用涵闸排水并控制水位。所以濠河水系是通过北引南排来保持它的鲜活，并不受潮汐影响，成为城市中心的天然氧吧。

New Happiness Bridge: This is where the inlet of Haohe River. By the pump, the water from Yangtz river was lead to Hao River. In the north, there is a brake to control the water lever. By this way, Hao River was kept as a fresh and clean river. It is a natural oxygen bar for the people living here.

北濠桥：这是一座五孔混凝土预应力大桥，长124米，宽6米。南接市繁荣商业区，北通港闸区，是濠河上最长的桥。

与电视塔隔河相望的是南通人引以为豪的文化广场，广场占地面积2万平方米，是一个集文化娱乐和健身休闲于一体的综合性广场。800平方米的水晶舞台是广场的一大亮点。

Opposite to the TV tower is a literature square for Nantong people’s entertainment, with an 800 square meter crystal areana, where you can have a date with lovers, dance, sing and organize the ceremony. In Summer holidays, every weekend, there will be social evenings organized by government, schools, institutions.

五公园区域。这一带水阔岸秀，景色优美，而各式景观照明锦上添花，使这里成为濠河的代表性景区。光绪29年（1903年），清末状元、近代实业家张謇赴日本参观博览会，对园林艺术极为关注，回国后便精心构画南通东、西、南、北、中五公园的蓝图，并于1917年开始建造，希望为南通市民提供一个优美而又富有教育寓意的社会环境，这已成为中国城市建筑史上早期的公共园林。南通的五公园，标志着中国园林从封闭自守的私家花园向近代开放的公共公园的转化。

Five parks area: Which was found by a well-know gentlemen Mr. Zhang jian which encourages Qing government to establish the industry/factory. Five parks is the first public park in China arch. Its open stands that China garden was going from being private to being public.

Mr. Zhang jian, a person with his great contribution to Nantong, has been deeply stamped in the history of Nantong city. 150 years ago, he got Number One Scholar in the royal examination of Qing Dynasty. However he didn’t want to work for government due to the rotten dynasty. And dedicated himself into kinds of industries, such as textile industry, education, architecture and so on.

He is a pioneer during that old period. So now Nantong city is famous for a special name “The first modern city of China”.

过了文化宫桥，就进入了南濠河。游船右前方亲水平台上，在投光灯映照下的是荷兰水利专家特来克的全身铜像。特莱克(1890～1919)，荷兰人。水利专家。其父奈格，是荷兰著名水利工程师，曾应聘任上海浚浦局总工程师。特莱克随父来中国，每每相随左右，学习钻研。后奈格去世，特莱克回国就读于荷兰工程专科学校。学成后，以擅长河海工程继承父业。民国5年(1916年)，应张謇之聘，来南通任保坍会驻会工程师，负责保坍筑楗工程。 特莱克逝世时仅29岁，葬于南通剑山南麓。

You can see a bronze standing there. Yes, his name is Telaic, from Netherlands. His father was a famous water conservancy engineer and ever worked for Shanghai water conservancy office. Telaic came to China with his father when he was a child. Later he was employed by Mr. Zhang jian and came to Nantong for Nantong’s water conservancy. However I’m very sorry that he was so diligent that he got sick illness and went to Heaven at his 29 years old.
