Yanling Road Scenic Belt

　　A stone pagoda, 8.5 meters high, has been built on the south bank opposite the "Dragon City Buddhist Imagery" screen wall. It is decorated with portrait bricks from the Southern Dynasties, featuring warriors, maids, immortals, the Thousand Autumns, the Ten Thousand Years, dragons, tigers, flowers, and grasses, creating a vibrant and lively scene.

　　The Six-Dragon County City features six dragon heads sculpted on the south bank wall, spurting water, symbolizing the origin of the name "Dragon City" and signifying the rise and development of Changzhou.

　　The Peach Blossom Land of Wuling is located on the south bank of Dongshi River, facing Wenbi Pagoda across the river. It recreates the scene of peach blossoms in full bloom during the Ming and Qing dynasties, with "thousands of peach trees surrounding and a winding stream flowing through," evoking the feeling of "spring breeze charming the eyes, as if one were a man of Wuling." It also restores the "Peach Garden Cottage," "Yi Yi Platform," and "Begonia Residence," which were built by Li Changxiang, a Ming Dynasty military minister who lived in seclusion here, and Yao Shu, a talented woman from Jinling.

　　Lingchun Sweet Osmanthus is located west of Dongtaiping Bridge, where the Chun Gui Memorial Archway has been rebuilt. Originally built during the Song Dynasty by Xu Shen, the prefect of Changzhou, this archway referenced the story of Dou Yanshan’s five sons all passing the imperial exams during the Five Dynasties period — the allusion of "Lingchun Sweet Osmanthus." It was erected to celebrate the successive success of Zhang Yanzhi’s four sons — Zhang Shou, Zhang Zai, Zhang Yu, and Zhang ? — who lived in the neighborhood at the time. The archway had long been lost, and its reconstruction showcases the flourishing cultural heritage of Changzhou.

　　The Dragon Boat is built on the south bank of Dongshi River, recreating the scene of Emperor Qianlong’s southern inspection tour.

　　On the north bank:

　　Lanling Market Street is located on the riverside platform on the north bank of Shijiu River, east of Longjing Bridge. Tall trees have been transplanted around it, with an ancient well as the focal point, complete with a well frame. The retaining wall is adorned with a map of Dongshi River and scenes of ancient local customs.

　　The Qing Dynasty City Map features a newly built "Qing City Map" on the north bank of Dongshi River. Four jade cong artifacts are placed from west to east, representing the four ancient names of Changzhou: "Yanling," "Piling," "Jinling," and "Lanling." Each is set at the center of cantilevered viewing platforms, accompanied by explanatory texts and flower bed decorations, helping visitors feel a sense of pride in the city’s profound historical and cultural legacy.

　　Tongwu Gate is a water gate built east of Dongtaiping Bridge, named after the ancient city gate "Tongwu Gate." At the center of the flowing river, a circular arched water gate resembling a city wall has been constructed, with a pavilion on top, creating a unique scenic view along the city river.

　　The Stone Sutra Pillar was moved to the north bank of Dongshi River, west of the Water Gate. This relic from the Taiping Xingguo era of the Northern Song Dynasty, though weathered by a thousand years, still displays clear and vivid carvings at its base, including depictions of Mount Sumeru and the Sea of Sumeru, carrying distinct Song Dynasty characteristics.

　　The Legacy of Poet Su is located on the east bank at the bend of Dongshi River. It consists of two pavilions, a group of stele corridors, a carved stone statue of Su Dongpo, and the Qing Dynasty painting "Su Shi Mooring His Boat at the Pavilion" by Qian Weicheng.
