Dawn Crossing at Longjiang

　　　　The lower reaches of the Bao River, historically called the Black Dragon River. The Bao River flows from between Longjiangpu and Changzhai Street, running southward for about five li before joining the Han River at Baixiang Street.

　　　　The ancient ferry crossing on the Bao River between Longjiangpu and Changzhai Street, also known as the Longjiang Ferry. Along both banks of the ferry, silt has accumulated to form large sandbars. Reeds grow abundantly, interspersed with various trees. In late autumn, maple leaves turn red, reed flowers bloom, waterfowl gather in flocks, and wild geese fly in formation, presenting a scene reminiscent of the reed marshes of the south.

　　　　At dawn, the sky glows with the colors of sunrise, and a thin mist hovers over the river. Ferries laden with passengers weave through the rippling waters, set against the backdrop of the surrounding landscape bathed in morning light, forming a beautiful scene known as “Dawn Crossing at Longjiang.”
