No winter will pass, no spring will come. The temperature once again sent Hangzhou into winter, but the wild cherry blossoms in the Tianzidi Ecological Scenic Area of Tonglu were blooming brilliantly, so they were bound for a long time and took another step. They set off from the banks of the Qiantang River, arrived at Tonglu, arrived at the Tianzidi Ecological Scenic Tourism Area, and arrived at this resort surrounded by mountains.
"Drive, drive towards the edge of the city", as the car's audio system plays this moving melody, the long-awaited joy once again jumps into my heart. When I arrived at the scenic area, compared to buying tickets and checking in normally, entering the park now is much more troublesome, requiring relevant registration, temperature measurement, and health code verification. This also allows me to rest assured and enjoy the spring scenery here. Entering the scenic area, the endless wisteria path is already stunning enough.
Tonglu is unfamiliar to me, and the same goes for the Tianzidi tourist area. I have been constantly walking, so even if I have never been to the scenic spots around Hangzhou, I have almost heard of them. This is not the case with the Heavenly Land. When I first heard of the name Tianzi Di, I felt that it was so unconventional and not like naming a typical scenic spot. I only found out here that it was the birthplace of Emperor Wu of Song, Liu Yu, meaning the birthplace of the emperor, so I named it Tianzi Di.
The Tianzidi Ecological Scenic Tourism Area is mainly divided into four areas, namely the charm of Taoyuan, the peak of Range Rover, the Penglai region, and the tranquil valley, each of which can provide you with a unique tourism experience. The charm of the Peach Blossom Garden is named after the Peach Blossom Garden. The Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot people described by Tao Yuanming met the Peach Blossom Garden, and the real Tianzidi Resort is another paradise.
After passing through the vacation area that exudes the charm of the countryside, come to the cable car ride. The existence of cable cars is undoubtedly the best for tourists, as it not only saves energy but also allows them to enjoy the scenery from a different perspective. The cable car of the Heavenly Land is unique and full of nostalgia. It runs smoothly and at a low height, with the spring breeze blowing through the mountains, feeling extremely joyful.
Sitting on the cable car, you will find that each cable car has "disinfected" paper stickers, which can be seen in all public facilities in the scenic area. Taking a disinfected cable car from the foot of the mountain to the mountaintop, searching for the spring scenery that adorns the mountains, breathing in the air after rain, admiring the blooming flowers and waiting for spring to come.
Early spring is slightly cold, but the wild cherry blossoms are blooming lively. There are many types of cherry blossoms, with diverse tree shapes, lush leaves and abundant flowers, full and delicate. In Jiangnan, the most enchanting thing is the wild cherry blossoms in the mountains and forests. Red flowers are full of branches, draped gracefully, and beautiful cherry blossoms dot the branches one after another, just like red lights shining, swaying in the wind, with a unique charm.
Where is Penglai? This is a place that ancient people have been searching hard for, and the Penglai realm of Tonglu is located in this Tianzi Cave. Tianzi Cave, a karst cave landscape located on the mountaintop, was originally named Xianren Cave. Later, according to legend, Liu Yu changed his name to Tianzi Cave for leisure and reading here. At the entrance, light strips extend into the distance, and under the illumination of the lights, it seems like a time tunnel leading to a fairyland.
Tonglu has always been famous for its beautiful landscape, and the two rivers and one lake scenic spot where the emperor is located is the essence of the landscape. Coming out of the Tianzi Cave, you will come to the tranquil valley of the tourist area. The benevolent enjoy the mountains and the wise enjoy the water. Since ancient times, people have been very fond of mountains and rivers. The tranquil valley in spring is as quiet and elegant as its name.
If you are like me, passionate about sports and passionate about excitement, then you must not miss the Rainbow Slide in the Clear Valley. I have always been familiar with slides, and I often see similar experience projects in many scenic spots. However, it is still the first time I have encountered slides like Tianzidi in the mountains and forests. Rainbow slide, adjacent to the exit of Tianzi Cave, comes down from Tianzi Cave and has a natural sliding experience here, which is also a unique pleasure.
The last part of the Qingyou Valley, which is also the closest part to the foot of the mountain, is the barbecue camping area. There is not only a parent-child interactive experience area, but also an outdoor entertainment area, and of course, the most important is the barbecue area. The barbecue area is surrounded by bamboo fences, with pavilions of different sizes scattered in a neat and orderly manner. Each pavilion is equipped with barbecue racks and earthen stoves, and barbecue camping here is not just a feast for the stomach and mouth.
Preface
In Jiangnan, the spring breeze is gradually subsiding. Facing the warm sun and gentle breeze, why not go on a unique journey to the surrounding area. Looking forward, looking forward, the pace of spring is slower, so slow that when we can go out, we can still feel the abundant spring atmosphere; The blooming period of wild cherry blossoms is a bit longer, so long that even when I stand at the foot of the mountain, I can still see the picturesque scenery all over the mountain. The Tonglu Tianzi Ecological Tourism Area is like a vacation destination hidden deep within the Two Rivers and One Lake Scenic Area. Spend a short yet abundant journey here, enjoy the cherry blossom blooming mountains in the high mountain range, admire the natural wonders in the underground karst cave, enjoy the ups and downs of the tranquil valley, enjoy ecological cuisine, and rest in the mountains and rivers.
【 Residing in the mountains and rivers 】
The persistence in my heart, calmly waiting. I look forward to a happy existence, thousands of missed moments, thousands of turned backs, all just to find a warm home for my heart·····
A key indicator for measuring the quality of a scenic area is the level of completeness of its corresponding supporting facilities. There are not many scenic spots that can integrate tourism, hotel accommodation, catering, and cuisine within the scenic area, but the Tianzidi Tourist Area is one of them. That is why I chose this place. When I walked into the scenic area, my food, drink, entertainment, and accommodation could all be solved here, which is the vacation I want.
The Tianzidi Health Resort Hotel is the accommodation for this trip. The hotel is located in the Tianzidi Resort area, hidden deep in the mountains and forests. This hotel, located between mountains and rivers, has a unique geographical location. In front of it is a stream, and in the clear water, you can still see playful fish. Behind it is a mountain forest, and the trees in early spring are lush green.
There are many types of guest rooms here, with different styles and unique features. The most attractive one is the courtyard adjacent to the water wheel. The style of the building from the inside out is mainly elegant Chinese decoration, with white walls and gray tiles, window edges and mirrors, and all rooms are equipped with underfloor heating, which is very rare in hotels located in the south. Adjacent to the guest room area is another courtyard, which is the hotel's entertainment center. There is a KTV, chess room, and a hymn in the mountains and forests.
[Tasting Ecological Cuisine]
Every city has its unique flavor, and many tourists seek out food by searching for the next place and destination, which is now a very popular food journey. Within the Tianzi Ecological Scenic Area, there is a specialty restaurant located adjacent to Tianzi Lake. Sitting in a private room, one can enjoy the beautiful and gentle scenery of the lake and mountains.
Coming to Tonglu, due to geographical conditions, many of the delicacies here are hidden deep in the mountains, forests, and lakes, making it difficult to obtain. However, the cuisine here is still incredibly rich. Spicy fried diced chicken, chicken is an authentic street chicken from the nearby village. Wild cherry blossoms on the mountain are dotted on the plate, making it a perfect match for color, aroma, and taste. Every winter, restaurants make their own sausages, and the simpler the cooking method, the better it reflects the quality of a dish. With just simple frying, sausages with even fat and lean proportions can burst out incredibly delicious.
March bamboo shoots are fresh, and when it comes to the most unforgettable delicacy of this season, it must be bamboo shoots. Tonglu is located in a mountainous and hilly area, so the bamboo forest here is very dense, and bamboo shoots are also one of the most beloved ingredients of the local people. In the Tonglu area, people like to pair fresh bamboo shoots and cured meat, one meat and one vegetable, one fresh and one aged, to create different flavors. Both ingredients were originally representative of freshness, but now when combined, they are more delicious.
When it comes to river fish, many people may think of river shrimp, bighead carp, and silver carp, and some of the troublesome mixed fish varieties may not be on the list. However, the most delicious ones are still these mixed fish. Every time I travel to places with rivers and rivers, I always look forward to such a dish on the restaurant's menu - braised mixed fish. This time, I came to Tianzi Di and tasted the long-awaited delicacy as I had hoped.
The cuisine of the Heavenly Land best represents the taste of nature. The organic vegetables of the season are dug from high mountains, the chickens are free range bamboo forest chickens, and the fish are just picked up from the Tianmu River in the morning. In order to meet the tastes of tourists from all over the world, the dishes here are very rich in both processing methods and tastes, both with local characteristics and innovation. The dried bamboo shoots and braised pork with Mantou are an endless charm of Chinese hamburgers.
Day 1: First meeting of the emperor and earth
A sudden outbreak of the epidemic has made the once bustling streets dull, made the once lively New Year dull, and stopped us from traveling to distant places. This Spring Festival should be the most unforgettable memory for our generation, but with the situation getting better and better, the tourists by West Lake have returned, and I have taken another step forward, driving from Hangzhou to Tonglu.
"Drive, drive towards the edge of the city", as the car's audio system plays this moving melody, the long-awaited joy once again jumps into my heart. When I arrived at the scenic area, compared to buying tickets and checking in normally, entering the park now is much more troublesome, requiring relevant registration, temperature measurement, and health code verification. This also allows me to rest assured and enjoy the spring scenery here. Entering the scenic area, the endless wisteria path is already stunning enough.
Tonglu is unfamiliar to me, and the same goes for the Tianzidi tourist area. I have been constantly walking, so even if I have never been to the scenic spots around Hangzhou, I have almost heard of them. This is not the case with the Heavenly Land. When I first heard of the name Tianzi Di, I felt that it was so unconventional and not like naming a typical scenic spot. I only found out here that it was the birthplace of Emperor Wu of Song, Liu Yu, meaning the birthplace of the emperor, so I named it Tianzi Di.
Walking along the wisteria path, I arrived at the Tianzi Health Resort Hotel, which is also where I stayed tonight. So I went to the front desk to check in, and the service staff efficiently checked in, taking me to my room. The rooms are distributed on both sides of the stream, backed by the mountains and forests. When I arrived at the room, the waiter kindly introduced me to the usage of some room facilities, such as the switch adjustment of the underfloor heating, which made me feel warm and cozy.
The Tianzidi Ecological Scenic Tourism Area is mainly divided into four areas, namely the charm of Taoyuan, the peak of Range Rover, the Penglai region, and the tranquil valley, each of which can provide you with a unique tourism experience. The charm of the Peach Blossom Garden is named after the Peach Blossom Garden. The Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot people described by Tao Yuanming met the Peach Blossom Garden, and the real Tianzidi Resort is another paradise. There are Ming and Qing Dynasty Jiangnan style buildings here, the picturesque Tianzi Lake, and a black swan that loves tourists.
After passing through the vacation area that exudes the charm of the countryside, come to the cable car ride. The existence of cable cars is undoubtedly the best for tourists, as it not only saves energy but also allows them to enjoy the scenery from a different perspective. The cable car of the Heavenly Land is unique and full of nostalgia. It runs smoothly and at a low height, with the spring breeze blowing through the mountains, feeling extremely joyful.
Sitting on the cable car, you will find that each cable car has "disinfected" paper stickers, which can be seen in all public facilities in the scenic area. Taking a disinfected cable car from the foot of the mountain to the mountaintop, searching for the spring scenery that adorns the mountains, breathing in the air after rain, admiring the blooming flowers and waiting for spring to come.
Although it was only around 3pm in the afternoon, the weather was gloomy as if it was getting dark. Despite the unfavorable weather, seeing the lush wild cherry blossoms in front of me still made me feel incredibly beautiful and moving. Looking at the wild cherry blossoms in front of me, I couldn't help but get close to self-study and appreciate them. Upon closer inspection, I could still see the residual rainwater on the flowers, which are the flowers of Jiangnan and the scenery of Jiangnan.
The weather is bad, so you wander aimlessly at the top of this Range Rover. Along the way, you will always encounter wild cherry blossoms in full bloom. Due to their pure wildness, you don't know where they will suddenly appear, but every time they appear, they will always brighten your eyes. A beautiful scene that cannot be described in words, with gentle breeze blowing by and petals falling in the wind.
Following the path of the Heavenly Son Cave, we continued up the stone steps and arrived at a place surrounded by rocks. This was a place for praying, with incense cauldrons and tables on the ground. The first thing that caught our eyes were the stone carvings on the stone walls. However, if you approach and look up, you can discover the mystery within them. A statue of Guanyin stands on a stone wall, with a kneeling child below it. According to the staff of the scenic area, seeking a child here is very effective.
Silent all night, waiting for the cherry blossoms to bloom under the blue sky and white clouds the next day.
Day 2, the spring scenery fills the mountains and cannot be stopped
Awakening from the chirping of birds and insects, I looked out at the green mountains outside the window, which were exceptionally clear under the sunlight. As I had hoped for the previous day, it was a sunny spring day. After enjoying a sumptuous breakfast in the restaurant, I couldn't wait to take the cable car to the mountaintop, hoping to reunite with the wild cherry blossoms on this mountain again, to rediscover this beautiful spring messenger.
The cable car cableway is located in a canyon, where no cherry blossoms can be seen at all. As I stepped out of the upper station of the cable car, I was looking forward to the wild cherry blossoms that were right in front of me to surprise me. The cherry blossoms hanging all over the branches, under the sunlight, appear exceptionally beautiful. The distant green mountains and waters, and the nearby cherry blossoms swaying, are the most attractive places in the High Mountain Range Rover area. The spring scenery is full of mountains and cannot be closed, with thousands of trees and cherry blossoms blooming.
Early spring is slightly cold, but the wild cherry blossoms are blooming lively. There are many types of cherry blossoms, with diverse tree shapes, lush leaves and abundant flowers, full and delicate. In Jiangnan, the most enchanting thing is the wild cherry blossoms in the mountains and forests. Red flowers are full of branches, draped gracefully, and beautiful cherry blossoms dot the branches one after another, just like red lights shining, swaying in the wind, with a unique charm.
Because these are all wild cherry blossoms that grow unevenly on steep slopes, in order to allow tourists to have a closer view of the messenger of spring, the scenic area has built a simulated wooden observation platform here, providing a better angle for both appreciation and photography. The sun rises and sets, flowers bloom and wither, spring and autumn alternate, and the four seasons rotate. The most unforgettable thing in the world is time. In the brief sun and moon, wild cherry blossoms are beautiful but not delicate, beautiful and leisurely.
The wind blows gently, and the flowers sway little by little. In the quiet cherry blossom jungle, waves of faint fragrance spread out, and early spring became warm and friendly. The air became ethereal and fresh, imbued with the tranquility and tranquility of wild cherry blossoms, as if one was intoxicated in the dreamland of pastoral fantasy and melodious melody.
Not far from the cherry blossom viewing point, there is the second small attraction in this area, called Robber's Terrace, where a huge copper gong is placed. According to legend, the ancient location here was very advantageous, with a lot of merchants coming and going. Even the wealthy Jin merchants passed through here, and there were bandits on the opposite mountain. The gong was used to remind people around when they saw bandits descending the mountain. In this area, there is also an experience - jungle crossing, sitting on a device and sliding along a steel cable from one mountain to another, feeling a different speed and passion.
Where is Penglai? This is a place that ancient people have been searching hard for, and the Penglai realm of Tonglu is located in this Tianzi Cave. Tianzi Cave, a karst cave landscape located on the mountaintop, was originally named Xianren Cave. Later, according to legend, Liu Yu changed his name to Tianzi Cave for leisure and reading here. At the entrance, light strips extend into the distance, and under the illumination of the lights, it seems like a time tunnel leading to a fairyland.
Although China's karst cave scenic spots are not everywhere, they are also blooming everywhere. From northeast to southwest, and then to central China, although the regions are different, the feeling of those caves is similar to me, but Tianzi Cave is a unique one. The vast cave sky, deep underground river, dense stalactites, and gradually rising terrain make this the largest vertical cave in Asia.
Keep moving along the direction of the tour, admiring the wonders here while admiring the incredible craftsmanship of nature. The entire Tianzi Cave is mainly divided into three cave halls, each with different attractions and surprises. Entering the first cave hall, Donghai Dragon Palace, where there are shrimp soldiers and crab generals, dragon sons and dragon daughters, and karst cave scenic spots. Tours are three parts similar and seven parts imaginative, while Tianzi Cave is exactly the opposite. In the spacious hall, a variety of stalactites compete with each other, creating a magnificent cave view.
The second cave hall is known for its flowing waterfalls. As you step into it, there is a waterfall on the side of the cave that is over 20 meters high and 8 meters wide. It flows down like silver and jade, like a piece of silk hanging down. In front of the waterfall, there is a stalagmite shaped like a young man looking up, lifelike and lifelike. This young man is said to be the emperor Liu Yu, so this scenery is called "Emperor Viewing Waterfall", which looks like a god. The third cave hall is the essence of the whole Tianzi Cave. In this cave hall, there are more than 30 groups of wonders, such as "Peach Banquet", "Grain Harvest", "Fairy Chess", "Lion Seeing off", which are lifelike and memorable.
Tonglu has always been famous for its beautiful landscape, and the two rivers and one lake scenic spot where the emperor is located is the essence of the landscape. Coming out of the Tianzi Cave, you will come to the tranquil valley of the tourist area. The benevolent enjoy the mountains and the wise enjoy the water. Since ancient times, people have been very fond of mountains and rivers. The tranquil valley in spring is as quiet and elegant as its name. Strolling in this tranquil valley, breathing fresh air full of negative oxygen ions, looking up at the colorful mountains, spring scenery and spring outings are just right.
If you are like me, passionate about sports and passionate about excitement, then you must not miss the Rainbow Slide in the Clear Valley. I have always been familiar with slides, and I often see similar experience projects in many scenic spots. However, it is still the first time I have encountered slides like Tianzidi in the mountains and forests. Rainbow slide, adjacent to the exit of Tianzi Cave, comes down from Tianzi Cave and has a natural sliding experience here, which is also a unique pleasure.
Following the stone staircase all the way down, you are not far from the last area. After passing through a large bamboo forest, strolling through it, the dense bamboo forest is full of emerald green. When you lower your head, you can still see the newly sprouted spring shoots. What we hear, see, and feel are all the most natural things in nature, and our mood seems to become particularly joyful.
The last part of the Qingyou Valley, which is also the closest part to the foot of the mountain, is the barbecue camping area. There is not only a parent-child interactive experience area, but also an outdoor entertainment area, and of course, the most important is the barbecue area. The barbecue area is surrounded by bamboo fences, with pavilions of different sizes scattered in a neat and orderly manner. Each pavilion is equipped with barbecue racks and earthen stoves, and barbecue camping here is not just a feast for the stomach and mouth.
The two-day spring vacation in the land of the emperor has come to a hasty end. I have witnessed the breathtaking scenery, experienced comfortable and pleasant hotels, and tasted the delicious food that makes people enjoy themselves. Of course, for the land of the emperor, which is rich in scenery and entertainment, all of this is just a fleeting sight. So I look forward to the next time, continuing to come here and become a devout tourist in the prosperous and stable paradise on earth.
