Some people say that a Hangzhou poem is half a Jiangnan dream.

The southeast is Xingsheng, the capital of Sanwu, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. Only those who have been there will appreciate the beauty that goes deep into the bones.

But I prefer the vitality of Hangzhou. If you come to Hangzhou, I won't take you to West Lake or Hefang Street.

Avoiding the surging crowds, in the southwestern suburbs of Hangzhou's West Lake District, there is a "treasure"-Zhuantang. It rarely appears on Hangzhou's must-see list, but it is independent and independent, achieving a perfect mix of market atmosphere and literary tone.

Once upon a time, in the eyes of many people, Zhuantang was a "urban-rural fringe" with lagging development. With the construction of Zhijiang Bridge, Zizhi Tunnel, Rainbow Expressway, Metro Line 6, etc., rivers and mountains have become thoroughfares.

Today's Zhuantang has long since bid farewell to its old appearance.

She has Yunqi Town and Yichuang Town, integrating science and technology innovation and cultural creativity, becoming a new highland for the integration of industry and city;

She has Longwu Tea Town, known as the "Wandan Tea Township", with endless tea mountains and lush green tea gardens, producing nearly 70% of the West Lake Longjing;

She has a gathering of universities from the China Academy of Art and Zhejiang Conservatory of Music, and has a strong artistic atmosphere. She is a "pilgrimage place" in the hearts of countless art candidates across the country, making countless students 'dreams come true here...

Although autumn has begun, the weather in Hangzhou is still unreasonably hot. Fortunately, the sky is clear and the air is clear, releasing a blue sky and cotton-like clouds. The metal and glass materials of urban buildings reflect dazzling beams of light, feeling like they are going to burn the world.

The inside of the brand-new Atez car we are driving is a quiet and comfortable little world. The automatic air conditioning outlet conveys cold wind and also has an air purification function to keep the inside of the car cool. The driving process is very smooth and the sound insulation effect is very good. It may be the credit of the silent tires, noise-reducing glass and chassis; listen to songs and chat, and the configuration of 11 BOSE audio units in the car creates ultra-high quality sound effects.

The journey was very smooth and everyone was in a happy mood. Who says that a 200,000 car cannot be talked about driving control? The new generation of Artez will tell you what control means, allowing you to immerse yourself in the joy of Mazda's "one man and one person". This may be the black technology GVC Plus The magic is. It took about half an hour to reach the destination, and it didn't feel as far as I imagined.

Xiangshan Art Commune

The Geometric Kingdom of the New Jiangnan Style

"How does a small village at the foot of a city respond to the land to which it belongs... respond to the questioning that mountains and rivers receive in this era of online society... Are the rivers and mountains still clear?"-- Li Kaisheng

Xiangshan Art Commune is located at the southern foot of Xiangshan, which can be regarded as a remote suburb. Driving 20 kilometers to check in may be a special hobby of contemporary urbanites.

Driving to Creative Road, a large building complex with white walls and black tiles came into view, which was quite artistic. Ah, Xiangshan Art Commune must be right.

This building used to be a "self-sufficient" small mountain village with both farm houses and factories. The design was led by Li Kaisheng, a famous architect and professor at the China Academy of Art, and was inspired by the "Clear Scenery of Rivers and Mountains" written by Xia Gui, a Qiantang painter in the Southern Song Dynasty: one axis and two sides, each other's mountains and rivers, intertwined cities and villages, and the winding water flowing...

800 years later, this newly born art commune inherits not only the "shape" in the painting, but also an attitude towards contemporary times, that is, how people can "inhabit" in the era of technology and capital.

The houses with white walls and black tiles are arranged scattered under the shade of green trees. They have a strong New Jiangnan style, a New Jiangnan architecture and spatial aesthetics that inherits the clear charm of mountains and rivers.

In Li Kaisheng's blueprint, in the face of a society where "technology, technology, productivity and abstraction" are increasingly reaching the ultimate, this world developed from villages in the south of the Yangtze River should be able to recall the kind of connection between people and the earth and people deep in history.

The commune's paths extend in all directions and are like a maze, as if they take you to another time and space. The real world is instantly isolated, full of very unusual buildings, and an atmosphere of rapid withdrawal makes people feel like they are not here.

The pure white walls, black lines, wooden window rims, pure colors, simple lines, very clean and pure, creating a rich and multi-layered spatial beauty. This is a bit of Zen. Only by being simple to the extreme can we leave the greatest amount of space for people to ponder and understand.

The application of natural materials such as window beads, bricks and stone are used as wall materials, and sliding doors are made of steel glass. Some modern architectural elements are integrated into traditional Chinese style, which reflects the concept of mix and match, which has more room for development and more flavor.

The commune is scenery step by step, and there is flowing art everywhere, which is endowed with unique architectural ingenuity. Just like the craftsmanship quality of the new generation of Artez, every corner of the car is unique: the interior design is full, the lines are simple but not simple, and the flat circular instrument panel is more visually pure;

The key point is that the materials and workmanship of the new car are quite exquisite. The introduction of leather + stitching, Osville interior fabrics, Hokkaido cork finishes, NAPPA leather seats... can be compared to BBA luxury cars.

Looking around, you can see small buildings with very different shapes and overlapping; each building exists independently but is interconnected; geometric units are constantly repeated or used at intervals here, making them look orderly from different perspectives. It is a different kind of spatial beauty.

On the garden chassis, green bamboos, maple leaves, and dwarf pines, these inadvertent existences often become the finishing touch. The wonderful combination of buildings with corridor windows, rocks, vegetation, and water flow always has a unique place.

Sunshine is also the artist who settled in the commune. The light and shadow shed wantonly add a lot of vitality and artistic sense to the building. Almost every painting is a painting.

What is gratifying is that after more than ten years of "European style", under the trend of cultural return, domestic architecture has finally turned its wind direction to find local roots and culture. This new Jiangnan style "geometric kingdom" is an attempt to organically update Jiangnan's traditional architectural culture.

Walking through different areas in the commune, you can also see the traces of the occupation of the "2019 Zhijiang International Youth Art Week" during the Gome graduation season, the mottled posters and the overwhelming QR codes... You can imagine this is an arrogant scene. The fiery art scene is full of youth, imagination, and imagination.

Laicui Noodle Restaurant

Legendary noodle shop in the ruins

"Don't worry, you will have a seat when you have a good face."-- boss

Eating is a very important theme for travel. Follow public word of mouth and you will not pick mistakes. No one would believe that Zhuantang's most popular legendary noodle restaurant was actually opened in a dilapidated bungalow that was about to be demolished. If it was to create an atmosphere of a "fly restaurant", his family did it with no effort.

The back kitchen of Laicui Noodle Restaurant and the hall where the noodles are eaten are separated by an engraved shop, and they are connected to each other... Seeing the people queuing outside filling the three shops, we were relieved that the taste would definitely not be bad. Then we had to queue in the hot sun.

To order food, you need to go to the kitchen room. Looking at the menu at the door and dictating, the boss still relies on the traditional way of listening and taking notes in writing. The boss said it would take 25 minutes to wait, okay? I can only wait. I ordered his family's popular waist liver mixed with Sichuan for 48 yuan, but I stopped making the three delicacies noodles that I still wanted to order, so I switched to large intestine noodles for 25 yuan and tomato and egg noodles for 17 yuan. As soon as I paid, a seat became vacant, and the table turnover rate was still very high.

I saw that the chef in the back kitchen kept his hands on his hands. He sprinkled a handful of pork liver and kidney flowers and a handful of side dishes and stir-fried them. Flames rose in the pan, clatter, and the toppings were stir-fried. Then he put the noodles down, and once he poured his wrist, the liver waist, which is perfectly blended with oil and sauce, was lifted and covered on the surface for less than half a minute.

After a while, the waist liver mixed Sichuan dish was served. It looked like the thick oil and red sauce was heavy, but this was the standard for a spoonful of traditional mixed Sichuan toppings.

He really has a lot of information! The noodles were covered tightly by the waist liver. At this time, while the oil temperature is still there, mix the toppings and noodles immediately, and the side dishes will gradually show their face. There are green vegetables, bean sprouts, onions, garlic leaves, and the finishing touch of the apricot mushroom. It tastes quite rich.

The waist flowers under skilled knife skills are unbelievably exquisite, and each flower is fully wrapped in the soup; the heat is also just right, and the waist flowers after stir-frying are still chewy!

The biggest difference between his family and traditional Hangzhou Pianerchuan is that they use Ciwu to make noodles, which is made purely by hand. The boss starts to make noodles early every morning, flattening and spreading the dough, beating it repeatedly, folding it again, beating it again, and tempering it until it is tough and untouchable. The taste is vastly different from the soft and basic noodles.

After eating a bowl of noodles, I swiped the nozzle. It was super enjoyable and I was sweating profusely, so I quickly evacuated and hid in the car to cool off.

This magical seat is really comfortable to sit on in summer. It also has its own ventilation function to absorb air inward and circulate it, making clothes soaked by sweat dry quickly.

China Academy of Art Xiangshan Campus

The most beautiful Utopian campus

"Every time, I'm not just building a group of buildings, every time, I'm building a world."-- Wang Shu

Speaking of Xiangshan, it is one of the few hills for a walk around Zhuantang Town. It is more than 50 meters high and stands there unrecognizable.

It was not until the end of 2004 that Xiangshan gradually became famous as the new campus of the China Academy of Art was paved and extended at the foot of the mountain and a series of buildings designed by Wang Shu, dean of the school's School of Architecture and Art, formed a climate.

Today, Xiangshan Campus is not only a classic case praised by the domestic and foreign architectural circles, but also a "resort park" for Hangzhou people to enjoy the artistic and natural environment.

There has always been a question in my heart. Why not choose a university town with mature supporting facilities for the Xiangshan Campus of the China Academy of Art, but choose the remote and remote Xiangshan?

Later, after reading JCSC's interview with Wang Shu, I found the answer. The university town is a modernist settlement built to solve the collective life of a large number of people, and Wang Shu hopes to bring back the traditional feeling."Xiangshan Campus is mainly an experiment on modern architecture with local Chinese characteristics, inspired by Chinese tradition. The concept of mutual dialogue between landscape painting and nature."

As the first Chinese winner of the Pritzker Architecture Award, Wang Shu's greatest work in practicing local architecture is this campus. Looking down from the mountain, in the whole world of tiles, the relationship between Xiangshan and campus buildings is not a landscape relationship, but a coexistence relationship.

Simple and humble brick walls, stone walls, rammed earth walls, cement plaster walls, simple masonry methods change with nature and are full of vitality. It is said that Wang Shu collected more than 7 million old bricks and abandoned tiles of different ages from demolition sites in various places to revitalize them on the roof and walls of Xiangshan Campus.

For another example, the entire modernist building is made of large glass, clear windows, and bright sunshine. Wang Shu's building looks a little dirty. He believes that only such dirty things can truly integrate with nature. A foreign architect once said that if you solved the long-standing problem of building maintenance, your building seems to look good even if it is dirty, haha.

There are also many teachers in our school who complain about why the house is built so densely. You know, China's university towns are always wide apart and there is a huge green space in the middle. Wang Shu believes that in traditional cities and old villages, the streets are very narrow and the buildings are very dense, because in southern China, under the scorching sun, it takes so long to walk from one building to another. It's really hot, and it's impossible to live here.

Wang Shu, a master architect who is obsessed with his style and never gives up easily, has made the world feel the charm of "uniqueness" and "persistence". For example, FAW Mazda has always adhered to its concept of continuous pioneering and innovative technology. Some people may think it is paranoid, but I think this is the best expression of "technical craftsman".

Looking back at the relationship between architecture and people, people need to live in buildings for a long time. Architecture is like a mold that shapes people's life and even their form. Wang Shu tried to get rid of this relationship, allowing people to feel calm, relaxed, free, and even less utilitarian or purposeful.

Indeed, as you walk around the campus, your mood will automatically adjust to a aimless wandering state. When you meet a building you like, you can't help but want to go in and find out. When you are in it, you will even feel a little lost. It may be common for you to be unable to find the exit. The entire campus seems to be complying with the principles of nature here in some way, and the campus building emerges from the thinking between "nature" and "city".

Due to its high appearance, a series of popular variety shows and film and television dramas such as Zhejiang Satellite TV's "Running Brothers", Hu Ge's "Hunting Ground", and Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming's "Best Life for a Coquettish Woman" have all been filmed on the Xiangshan Campus.

Although it was summer, there were still many students coming and going on campus. Today's young people have a lot of opportunities to see the world, experience all kinds of art, and can think more comprehensively in a broader world to choose their own lives. It is really very enviable.

Phoenix Creative International Little Iceland

Abandoned factory building Butterfly Transformation Innovation Base

It looks like a factory but not a factory, just like crossing through. Facing Shilong Mountain and backed by Phoenix Mountain, we drove to the last stop, a creative park rooted in an abandoned cement factory-Phoenix Creative International.

Between the green mountains and green valleys, there is a large area of green grass; giant cement cylinders more than 20 meters high stand side by side or undulating; the rough column facades and the flexible skyline create a simple beauty of time and space.

The modern landscape elevator is clearly attached to the old-fashioned cement building; the mottled red paint slogans on the wall seem to drag people back to the 1970s...

In the 1970s, this was Hangzhou's famous Shuangliu Cement Factory. It went from its peak to decline, and it was closed for many years after decades of ups and downs. This once-forgotten "industrial heritage" is now reborn.

After the artist's transformation, the old factory was perfectly transformed into a personalized loft office building, with its body unchanged and its soul transformed.

Recently, the park has become popular again because of its "Little Iceland" and has become a fashionable check-in spot for Hangzhou trendy people. Little Iceland is at the deepest part of the park. Go up the road, drive to the highest point and park it, and you can see it through a small jungle.

A large area of exposed rocks and rocks stands in the green lake. There is an indescribable coldness, as if they are isolated from the world and live in isolation. This is an indelible scar left here by mining in the past.

Street lights, fences, barbed wire, and cabins are all excellent props for posing. Any photo is like a vacation abroad.

In addition to Little Iceland, there are also many interesting shops in the park, including flower shops, coffee shops, commissaries... The supporting services are very complete. The key is that there are fewer people and quiet, making it suitable for you to come and spend a daze.

After walking around, it was sunset. The new generation of Artez presented a kind of "soul-moving" beauty, with the shining front grille, the sharp ALH matrix LED light group, and the dynamic and beautiful body lines, bringing a full sense of sporty fashion.

The unique crystal soul-moving red and the special body painting process will reflect more brightly on the particles. It will have a sense of beauty and depth, and a wave of enthusiasm, vitality and luxury will come to your face.

Address: No. 1 Chuangyuan Road, Zhuantang Town, Hangzhou City

Ticket information: Open park, no registration is required, you can enter and exit at will

Play time: 1 hour

Parking Tips: There are more parking areas inside, free of charge

Driving a new generation of Artez, I admired the scenery and marveled at the earth-shaking changes in Hangzhou over the years, while thinking about what destiny and opportunities I should have in life after the age of 30.

Ideals that have not yet disappeared, occasionally deviate from the throbbing triggered by daily life, an unpredictable but infinitely possible future, encounter, joy, emptiness, burnout... 30 years old is a threshold, but it cannot lock the heart that wants to gallop.

So, while you are still young, go crazy and travel--

Own your own car, drive it for a ride, and expand the boundaries of your daily life; talk about all kinds of relationships without worrying about the results; work hard for your dreams; taste the ups and downs and feel the warmth and warmth of the world... to a better self in the future!
