苏州运河十景

　　平望四河汇集简介（普通话版本）：平望依水而建、缘水而兴、因水而美，素有“天光水色，一望皆平”之美誉。京杭大运河自此向南到钱塘一分为三，与太浦河纵轴交汇，形成了新运河、老运河、太浦河、頔塘河，四河汇集的独特禀赋与莺湖八景等绝胜，造就了水运时代“大商巨舶”“百货凑集”的“巨镇”，被阮仪三教授赞为“大运河沿线历史城镇中，传统运河空间尺度保存最好，城镇与运河空间联系最为密切的一座”。平望•四河汇集坚持新老呼应、两片联动，水、岸、城、村、人共生共荣，运河文化旅游景区依托安德桥、小九华寺、古运河、莺脰湖等文化遗存和自然景观，以“京杭大集”呈现运河生活新场景;运浦湾片区聚焦运浦灯塔、平望驿、运浦绿带、运浦学院等地标打造，将四河元素、运河文化融入经济发展、城镇建设、民生服务全领域，描绘现代版“运河繁华图”。

Pingwang the Four-Waters-In-One Town

The town of Pingwang is built by water, nourished by water and graced by water. It has long been known as a place where the sky and water stretch to the horizon (天光水色，一望皆平). The section of the Grand Canal within the town splits into three canals that run all the way down to the Qiantang River in Zhejiang Province. The three canals, which are the Grand Canal itself, the New Canal and the Ditang River, intersect the Taipu River, forming a magnificent scene of “four-waters-in-one”. This scene, as well as the eight landmarks of Yingdou Lake, has made Pingwang a “prosperous town” filled with “merchant ships” and “stores and shops” in the era of water transportation. Professor Ruan Yisan once commented that Pingwang is “one of the historical towns by the Grand Canal featuring its well-preserved canals and its close spatial relation with the canals”. Pingwang, the four-waters-in-one town, has over the years made its efforts to integrate the old and the new, to connect between land and water resources, and to create a harmonious system of the town, the waters, the lands, and the villages and their residents. By creating a “prosperous fair by the Grand Canal” featuring “a bridge, a temple, a road and a lake”, the town’s Canal Culture Tourist Attraction presents a new scene of canal-side daily life. And the town’s Yunpuwan Demonstration Zone, featuring “a tower, a post station, a cultural relic belt, an academy, and a time-honored brand", integrates the “four-waters-in-one” elements and the canal culture into its economic development, urban construction and people’s livelihood services, depicting a modern version of the painting “The Prosperous Grand Canal”.
