人們都說,八大關因“萬國建筑博覽會”聞名世界。其實,真正讓八大關充滿生機,由呆板的蒼白變成靈動的迷彩的,卻是八大關的行道樹。
從寧武關路的海棠、紫荊關路的雪松、韶關路的碧桃,到嘉峪關路的楓樹、居庸關路的銀杏、臨淮關路的龍柏、正陽關路的紫薇,再到函谷關路、武勝關路、山海關路的法國梧桐,這些極具觀賞性和代表性的樹木,與牡丹園、芍藥園、玉蘭園、櫻花園等花卉園中園以及雪松、水杉、杜仲、麻櫟等林地一起,妝點著八大關的春夏秋冬,于是這里風情萬種、熠熠生輝。
春天,這里是一片片花海,燦黃如金的迎春花明媚動人、純白如雪的櫻花風過如雨、粉嫩初開的桃花嬌艷欲滴……走進了八大關仿佛走進花國世界,陽光明媚,春風醉人……
夏天,綠蔭如蓋的八大關,就像一塊剔透的薄荷,清新、爽朗,絲絲涼意裹挾著舒心的愜意,讓人不忍去,于是,一段如薄荷般的時光被收藏了起來,在街角的花香中……清新的海風裹著松柏的香撲面而來,午后的八大關,陽光碎金散銀般地從綠蔭間隙跳躍而出,隨風搖曳的樹影,像林中精靈,繞著走近的人來來去去。這里,處處林蔭扶疏,茂密的枝葉遮擋住夏日的悶熱,濾出清新,看到的,聞到的,全部是清新的綠。街邊花樹和墻內(nèi)簇擁著的薔薇,一起將沁人的香氣彌漫在路上,引領著你一步步前行。
最愛八大關的秋,微涼的秋風,讓法國梧桐的寬大葉子開始黃中帶綠,楓葉紅如火,銀杏也裹上了金黃色……風過后,便是一地落葉,滿滿的、厚厚的,望不到邊也踩不到底,站在像地毯一樣的落葉上,四周景色就像一幅幅畫跡未干的歐洲油畫。如果世界真的有童話,那也只會發(fā)生在這樣的秋天,這樣的八大關里。
冬天,寒冷的風從海上來,用力拍打著石岸的海浪,帶著扯碎沙灘的聲音由遠而近,掉光葉子的樹木們依然像戰(zhàn)士一樣矗立在風雪中,守衛(wèi)著八大關,四季蔥綠的雪松終于等到了美麗的白色雪花,草地也變成了無痕的雪地,偶爾傳來的雀聲,告訴人們,寂靜的冬天,這里依然精彩。
八大關里到處是愛慕者的身影,畫家立在街口,遠處的建筑和近處的樹一起隨著他用筆尖勾勒的線條躍然紙上,成為日后墻壁上的一段往事;攝影師站在水邊,花前戀人的甜蜜留在了底片上,成為日后的珍貴回憶;詩人依靠在櫻花樹,輕輕撥弄著手中的落花,一首小小的詩紀念著這個下午;還有更多的普通人,用燦若夏花的微笑,投進了八大關的懷抱……
喜歡八大關,因為這里四季生機盎然,彩色的春、藍綠的夏、金色的秋、雪白的冬,讓人一遍遍地把八大關留在記憶里;喜歡八大關,因為那一座座別致的庭院、精美的異國別墅,花和樹的無私陪伴而風光無限;喜歡八大關,因為這里的花和樹,見證著戀人們的誓言,無論花開花落,它們總用短暫而燦爛的生命歌頌著愛情的美好。
