重庆的夜景,媲美香港和纽约。可以说,重庆是一座越夜越美丽的城市。夜色别有味道的重庆,以万家民居灯火为背景,构成一片井然有序、错落有致、远近互衬的灯的海洋,吸引无数中外游客前来,他们在山上、屋顶、游船上,从不同的角度赏山城之夜,沉醉其中……
|“重庆赏灯”,不容错过 |
熙攘的夜景自古以来是国力强盛、城市繁華的象征。直辖以来,重庆一直在加强对城市外在“颜值”的谋划,对内在“品质”的提升。山城夜景日新月异的发展,已然成为重庆美丽的新名片。2018年重庆市政府出台《重庆市城市综合管理提升行动方案》,以美化夜景灯饰、提升城市照明品质作为重头戏之一,力争到2022年,将“重庆赏灯”打造成世界级的城市主题品牌。
夜景充分展示着重庆的山魂之雄、水韵之灵、人文之美。200年前,人们在江对岸欣赏重庆府的万家灯火;50年前,人们在枇杷山和鹅岭看着城市的夜晚在一天天变“靓”;今天,我们在游轮、索道上品味两江汇流处的璀璨光影。重庆的夜景像万花筒一样缤纷多彩,欣赏夜景的方式也日益多元化。
南山一棵树是观赏夜景的老牌观景地。日观重庆风貌,夜览山城美景。可纵观山水之城的地形地貌,环抱的两江,飞跨的长桥,远远近近,错落有致。
南滨路作为重庆最负盛名的风景线,有乾隆时代的“龙门皓月”“字水宵灯”等“巴渝十二景”,以及老街、老建筑,被称为重庆的“外滩”。夜幕降临,华灯初上,勾勒出高高低低的城市天际线,景致尽收眼底。
洪崖洞算是重庆网红景点中的“当家花旦”,拥有巴渝传统建筑特色的吊脚楼,依山傍水,层见叠出,远近互熠,将郭沫若笔下的《天上的街市》照进现实。
城市制高点也是观夜景胜地。鹅岭公园的最高处有一座揽胜楼,登楼可360°环视立体、魔幻、山水交融的城市。在环球金融中心的73层、74层的观景台,可以俯瞰两江交汇及渝中半岛盛景,体验“会当凌绝顶,一览众山小”的豪情快意。万家灯火、点点星光饱览无余。
“空中巴士”长江索道运营已有近30年,索道在长江上空缓慢移动,俯瞰魔幻、立体的山城夜景,视觉所及之处便是独一无二的美景。
在游船上观赏重庆夜景又是另一番景象,江风轻拂,滨江路如绚丽的腰带缭绕着两江四岸,星月华灯倒映江中,流光溢彩格外诱人。
| 一座全民畅享的不夜城 |
近期,全国各地大力发展夜间经济,“夜经济”一词频频出现成为城市新风尚。在7月31日召开的国务院常务会议上,“发展文化和旅游场所夜间餐饮、购物、文化演出等”被确定为促进文化和旅游消费的重要举措之一。
重庆发展夜经济基础丰厚,夜游重庆的方式更为丰富。在山城彻夜璀璨的灯光中,夜市酝酿而出。九街、鹅岭二厂文创园、北仓文创园、磁器口等地,融合餐饮、娱乐、文创、旅游为一体的夜市聚集区逐渐活跃起来,成为吸引游客的又一个亮点。
夜色是开启另一种精彩生活的序幕。每天从傍晚开始,人群从四面八方向各个“夜游地”聚集,时尚餐饮、主题酒吧、24小时书店、美体健身、街头表演……或炫目或迷离,或安静或喧嚣,各种新鲜活跃的元素使之变成一座座全民畅享的夜间乐园。
“上有天堂下有苏杭,更有重庆的灯火辉煌”,这句网络最流行的语言就是重庆最真实的写照。
华灯初上,夜色迷人,重庆的“山、水、城、桥”四大城市元素构成了“立体山城”“光影江城”“魅力桥都”等重庆夜景名片,也是重庆正在着力打造的城市主题品牌。
未来,重庆将是一座“山城江城不夜城”,欢迎来重庆共赏山城的暮色与灯火,璀璨雅致、动静相宜的立体山水都市夜景,定不辜负你的眼睛和好奇心。
