The flowing streams are fragrant and clean, and desire brings plum blossoms to show nature

There is no snow in Guangzhou, so Guangzhou people like to call the scenery related to white snow. For example, white plum blossoms are called white snow, and appreciating white plum blossoms is called appreciating snow. In this way, there is the beautiful scenery of Liuxi Fragrant Snow and Luogang Fragrant Snow.

In the harsh winter of the north, when there is fog but heating, there is no snow shadow in this sky in southern Guangdong. People always yearn for distant scenery and feelings. At this time, many Guangzhou people fly thousands of miles to Harbin, risking the risk of being slaughtered to see the snow in the snowy countryside, but the beauty in front of them is often ignored. Most people in southern Guangdong, whose winter sun is like summer, cannot go north 25,000 miles to search in the snow. They can only look north and sigh. Human beings full of imagination can always create miracles that satisfy desires.

From the end of December to the beginning of January every year, tens of thousands of people are empty along the Liuxi River in Conghua, Guangdong. White plum blossoms are blooming all over the mountains and fields, attracting tourists one after another. The "Conghua Liuxi Plum Blossom Festival" will also be held until the 19th session (2020-2021). More than 3000 acres of Meilin are planted here and have a planting history of more than 50 years. It is the largest plum appreciation base in Southeast Asia and the earliest opened Meilin in the country., known as "the first plum blossom lane in China and the first branch in the south."

It is said that there are years, months, days and hours to enjoy the "Fragrant Snow in Flowing Rivers". Plum trees bloom three times during the year. There are also "Plum Blossom Sanlong".

Plum blossoms: Flowers bloom rarely, flowers bloom on the branches at the bottom, and flowers bloom with little sparse flowers. The tree is full of white plum blossoms that are about to bloom, but they are still hidden if they want to be exposed, and the dark fragrance floats;

Plum Blossom Lane: Plum blossoms on the middle branches are in full bloom, with a fragrance overflowing, and the trees are white, like snow and frost;

Three lanes of plum blossoms: Plum blossoms bloom one after another at the tip of the branches, flowers bloom sparsely, accompanied by green buds and small fruits, symbolizing the arrival of spring.

This year's Plum Blossom No. 1 Lane time is from December 18 to 25, 2021, Plum Blossom No. 2 Lane time is from December 26, 2020 to January 10, 2021, and Plum Blossom No. 3 Lane time is from January 11 to 17, 2021. The best time to enjoy flowers every day is in the morning.

I only know that "Plum Blossom Sannong" is a piano music, also known as "Plum Blossom Yin" and "Jade Concubine Yin". It is said that Jin Hengyi wrote the flute "Plum Blossom Sannong", which was transplanted into piano music by later generations. However, I didn't expect Plum Blossom Sannong to be transplanted into three periods for appreciating plum blossoms.

Plum Blossom Lane 1 and Plum Blossom Lane 2 failed to catch up. I actually didn't see Liuxi Xiangxue until after the time period of Plum Blossom Lane 3 (January 21).

Sister, I only know how to take a car when I enter the Liuxi Hot Spring Area. Keep moving forward, I will see the dotted plum trees on both sides of the path.

A middle-aged man waved to us and asked if we were going to see plum blossoms? There is no charge for parking. Each person pays him 10 yuan, and each person in the scenic area 30 yuan. Anyway, they are all looking at plum blossoms.

Anyway, we were all watching plum blossoms, and we didn't watch them wherever we went. We were afraid that we couldn't find a place to park in the scenic spot, so we got off the bus. My sister immediately gave him 20 yuan. I asked him where to go up the mountain. He pointed to the path on the hillside and said that from there, there were all cement roads. Then he asked him if the road could lead to the scenic spot after going up the mountain. The answer was yes.

He instructed us to park the car and said, After watching the plum blossoms, you can go back to the original place and have dinner there. It turns out that it is a one-stop service!

We followed the path up the mountain and saw sparse plum blossoms and a group of aunts taking photos. Continuing to walk up, we could see the Liuxi River in the distance. We took a long shot. Seeing that plum blossoms were blooming in front of us, we were about to walk over and take pictures when a young man in camouflage clothes called out to us-we just saw him riding a motorcycle up the mountain and slowly riding past us. He said that it was his family's Merlin. If we wanted to see it, we would give him 10 yuan. It turned out that he was not from the same family as the middle-aged man at the foot of the mountain.

We returned the same way we came. On the way back, we saw a red card hanging on a plum tree: "Private Plum Garden, 10 yuan per person." We have clearly been deceived!

When the middle-aged man saw us, he asked,"You're down so soon?"

I said in my heart: "Do you still want us to eat at your place?"

(Plum blossoms in the private plum garden, the picture is a little more beautiful than the scene)

Continue to drive to the real scenic spot, and any plum blossom tree on the roadside will be many times stronger than the one you saw in the private Merlin.

When we arrived at the scenic spot, another camouflage uniform waved us into the parking lot and pointed to the ticket office.

I went to buy tickets. Tickets are 30 yuan per person, plus a parking fee of 10 yuan.

This is the real fragrant snow in Liuxi-much better than the private Merlin, and the real scene is even more beautiful than the pictures.

There is snow in this park! Distance knowledge is not snow, only the faint fragrance comes.

There is no snow in Lingnan, how can it be called snow? If snow has no fragrance, it is said to be fragrant.

Ten miles of plum blossoms are as deep as snow, and the flowing streams reflect the rising sun.

Standing on the observation deck and looking closer and closer, more than 100,000 plum trees bloom in clusters of white flowers on the branches, condensing like snow across the mountains and fields, reflecting with the green flowing rivers, lakes and green mountains. Walking in the plum blossom forest is like walking on the snow, it is as beautiful as a poem and a painting whether viewed from a distance or up close. It is a wonder in the south.

This plum blossom forest is on the bank of the Liuxi River. Green water flows past, and thousands of trees bloom with fragrant snow.

The snow here is "the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." White plums bloom white flowers in the severe winter, and flowers hang on the branches, blooming like snow. Appreciate the eyes and hearts, beautiful and refined, and I look forward to seeing snow. The white plum blossoms are just like snow.

However, plum blossoms are not snow after all. Walking among plum blossoms, over time, we will explore these plum trees. Some have many flowers, some have few flowers, some have sprouted buds, and some are aging and making people sad...

There are trees, water and stones in the garden. What is the place surrounded by mountains and rivers? Is it just to make snow and find people? Cities are piled up endlessly, and the crowded leisure space is becoming increasingly narrow. What are people yearning for...

The fragrance of flowers fills the nostrils, and the petals fall gently with the wind. They fall on your hair, collar, and under your feet. There is always the illusion of traveling through ancient chivalrous dramas.

Many women specially prepared Han costumes and cheongsam to come here to take photos. The white plum blossoms and the red Han costumes complement each other into beautiful photos, satisfying the women's love for beauty.

Plum blossoms should have white plums, red plums, and green plums, but only white plums, which symbolize snow, can be seen here.

This is not a defect of plum blossoms, but a defect left by mankind in pursuing the journey of progress.

No matter how much damage human urbanization has caused to nature, human desires still rise from the city like a red sun!

The little white plum blossoms are open in their hearts, and they come with light and graceful steps. In this snow-like flower season, what grows is the flower of love that will never disappear that can always overcome difficulties!

After leaving Liuxi Xiangxue, I took the old road back to Guangzhou and had lunch at a small restaurant along the road in Conghua. One was stuffed tofu and the other was Zengcheng Chicai heart. The portions were sufficient. The stuffed tofu had bean flavor, and the chicai heart was green, crisp and refreshing without dregs (Why is the fried chicai heart hard and dregs? Did I buy fake Chinese cabbage? It's really delicious.

Let's quote the poems of Wang Anshi and Lu Yue in the Song Dynasty to express the sigh of desire on man and nature.

"Remote knowledge is not snow, for the sake of a dark fragrance";

"Plum blossoms are less white than snow, but snow is less fragrant than plum blossoms."

Finally, I draw up a slogan for Conghua: Ancient villages with beautiful mountains and clear waters, flowers bloom in each year, and beautiful scenery and delicious food come from Conghua!

Grab the tail of Plum Blossom Sanlong and let's go!

[Friendly reminder] If you are driving yourself and meet someone waving on the roadside, don't stop unless you are willing to go to a private plum garden.
