When it comes to Meicheng in Jiande, many people may not know that it also has a resounding name - Yanzhou Prefecture. It has a history of over a thousand years and is named after the ancient city wall that was built into half a plum blossom. From the residence of Banmei Ju boutique homestay, walking along the Xin'an River for a few minutes, you can see the ancient city wall. Stepping on the ancient city wall, you can look at the reborn Meizhou ancient city in front of you, where he quietly tells his story.

As a person who grew up in southern Anhui, I have traveled to many places and cities, and Jiande is one of the places that touches my heart the most. Perhaps because it is particularly close to southern Anhui, there are always many similarities between these two places, such as the Huizhou architectural features of the horse head wall and small gray tiles, which can be seen everywhere in this ancient city of Meizhou.

In Jiande, there is an aviation town that is a modern large-scale tourism complex with aviation as its theme. I am not unfamiliar with both Jiande and Aviation Town. I have visited them twice before. But I don't know, the aviation town also has the New United Airlines Science Popularization Center and the New China Unicom Aviation Base, which is why I came this time.

Nowadays, parents are paying more and more attention to their children's comprehensive development. Even when traveling, they tend to go to some educational attractions for their children, which is why study tours are becoming increasingly popular. In the aviation town, there is such a scenic spot that is very suitable for taking children to visit and explore. This is the Xinlian Aviation Science Popularization Center.

Jiande Xinlian Aviation Science Popularization Center has a high-tech aviation science popularization exhibition hall, where you can immerse yourself in different aviation history knowledge through a surround screen. This not only showcases a variety of aircraft and fighter models, but also allows you to personally experience helicopter flight simulators under the guidance of staff. Whether for aviation enthusiasts or military enthusiasts, it is a treasure trove.

At the New China Unicom Air Base, if we are lucky, we can also watch a stunning aerial model stunt up close, and this time our luck is good enough. Due to the fact that the aerial model stunt performance here is still in the trial operation stage, this time it is free, and I have to marvel at the good luck. Before the performance started, you could see many models of aircraft, big and small, on site, which attracted countless praises from the children around you.

The New China Unicom Aviation Base is located near the aviation town and is mainly divided into three areas. The front desk and waiting area are the first area, the second area is the helicopter parking area, and the third area is the helicopter takeoff area. Visitors who come here to experience can board the Robinson R44 Thunderbird II helicopter and embark on a magical journey in the sky.

"Enter the Happy Village and become a happy person" is the promotional slogan of Jiande Happy Village. When you come to Happiness Village, you will find that this village has broken our traditional impression of the countryside and is no longer dirty and dilapidated. Here, you can see a neat four lane asphalt road; Here, you can see small western-style houses with two or three floors; Here, you can see the mountains and clear waters surrounded by green plants.

The Copper Art Museum located at the foot of the Revolutionary Mountain Tea Factory in Qiantan Town has a simple and low-key appearance, with a small path leading inside, which makes it not very noticeable to many people. However, when you enter the museum, it seems like you have entered another world - a world belonging to copperwood. The exhibition area mainly includes an intangible cultural heritage exhibition area for copper carving techniques, a copper art collection area, a copper wood home furnishings exhibition area, a copper decoration exhibition area, a copper craftsmanship exhibition area, and a copper culture exhibition area.

Preface

2019 has passed, looking back on a year's journey, has any city left unforgettable memories for you? A new year has arrived, have you planned where your next destination will be? Why not follow in my footsteps and spend a wonderful vacation together in Jiande, Hangzhou? Here, you can enjoy an unprecedented travel experience.

In Jiande, there is an aviation town that is a modern large-scale tourism complex with aviation as its theme. I am not unfamiliar with both Jiande and Aviation Town. I have visited them twice before. But I don't know, the aviation town also has the New United Airlines Science Popularization Center and the New China Unicom Aviation Base, which is why I came this time.

Living in Jiande

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······

As someone who frequently travels, a hotel is actually another home to me. It is no longer just a place to sleep at night. I will work, entertain, and rest here. Because hotels are of great importance to me, every time I check in, I always have some expectations. I have stayed in countless hotels, from international five-star hotels to fast chain hotels, from luxury homestays to farmhouses, and there are always stories from my travels.

Hangzhou Jiande, a city that is not unfamiliar to me, has been here twice and stayed at a themed hotel. This time, I am back here again. In order to experience the changes in this city, I chose different places for my two nights of accommodation. The first one I stayed in was Banmei Ju Boutique Homestay, which is located in the villa area of Sanjiang Port.

At first, I heard about being on the mountain, and I couldn't help but worry about convenience. But when you come here, you will find that both driving and taking a taxi are very convenient. The car can directly reach the entrance of the homestay, and if you go out, there is also a vertical elevator that leads directly to the foot of the mountain. This homestay has several guest rooms, each with a different theme, such as cloud dwelling, seclusion, and leisure living. Walking into the house, each building has a public area where you can work, chat, and even have a lounge.

The room I am staying in is a seclusion, just like this name. I live in seclusion on the mountaintop by the banks of the Xin'an River, and from the balcony of my room, I can have a panoramic view of the beautiful Xin'an River. The guest room is a one bedroom apartment with antique furniture, elegant design style, customized bathing supplies, and all the details are well done. The guest room is also equipped with evacuation supplies.

On the second night of Jiande, I stayed at a very unique hotel, which can be described as "haughty". This hotel is the Xi'an Hotel located in Jiande City. When you see me using the word "proud and delicate" to describe a hotel, do you feel extremely curious why a hotel is proud and delicate? Entering the hotel lobby, in the most prominent position at the front desk, you can see a notice that reads "There are no two rules for Xi'an guests, only the following two types of guests are welcome, all goddesses, and high-quality male gods who respect goddesses". Do you already know the reason for this statement.

The daily price of this hotel is around 200 yuan, which is not high, but its positioning is a boutique business hotel. As someone who is extremely familiar with hotels, I feel that this hotel is more like a female internet celebrity themed hotel, because whether it is in the public relations area or customer service, the first impression it gives is high aesthetics.

It is precisely because of this principle that the hotel has divided guest rooms into female and non female rooms, which is also a very interesting classification. Entering the guest room, the overall decoration is mainly white and Tiffany blue, paired with simple black lines, giving a very strong visual conflict. The room is also equipped with high-end electric curtains, which can be automatically opened by inserting the room card. Many details inside the guest rooms reveal the hotel's pursuit of quality.

A water glass, even in a five-star hotel, is just a simple glass. And here, simple glass cups are replaced by exquisite Tiffany series ceramic cups, and they are also equipped with customized rose Pu'er tea. I always like to brew a cup of tea while working and drinking at the hotel, and I also like this detail of this hotel.

If there is any part of the room that best reflects the quality of the hotel, then it must be the bathroom area of this guest room. The bathroom area of Jiande Xi'an Hotel has really surprised me. When I came to the bathroom area, high-end customized toiletries and personalized bathroom products can all showcase the quality of this hotel. Moreover, there is such a reminder posted in the shower area of the hotel, which is also very interesting.

Day 1 seeks the millennium old Yanzhou Prefecture, staying by the banks of the Xin'an River

The fate between Jiande and Hangzhou seems to have been brought up from that summer two years ago. It was a trip in August to escape the scorching heat of Hangzhou and head to Jiande at 17 degrees Celsius. At that time, Jiande had not yet been connected to high-speed rail, and it would take three or four hours to travel from Hangzhou to Jiande. Now, high-speed rail has greatly shortened the distance between these two places, and I have returned here. This time on the journey of Jiande, we will go see some things we have never seen before and experience some things we have not tried before.

After checking in at the Banmei Ju boutique homestay, I heard that there is an ancient city nearby and I am looking for it. Coming out of the homestay, walking along the Xin'an River for a few steps will reveal the ancient city wall. When it comes to Meicheng in Jiande, many people may not know that it also has a resounding name - Yanzhou Prefecture. It has a history of over a thousand years and is named after the ancient city wall that was built into half a plum blossom.

Why can half a plum blossom be famous? Because in the long history of our country, there are only three ancient city walls that resemble plum blossoms. One is Beijing, the other is Nanjing, and these are two plum blossoms. Jiande's plum city has half of them. Therefore, there has always been a saying in the local area that goes, "There are two and a half plum blossoms in the world, one in Beijing, one in Nanjing, and half in Yanzhou.".

This sentence is also a proud catchphrase for many locals as Yanzhou people. Arriving at the ancient city wall of Yanzhou, I happened to see local enthusiasts dancing dragons. Due to the working day, although there is not much audience, they still work hard to find their own love and enjoy it, sometimes spelling out the words of "2020" New Year, and sometimes carpooling the shape of "Chinese Loong".

Stepping onto the ancient city wall and looking at the reborn Meizhou ancient city in front of him, he quietly recounted his story. Passing through the ancient city wall and the road, you will come to this millennium old Meizhou ancient city. Here, every brick and tile, every alley, and every old house has an endless story and legend. If you want to go to a truly primitive and ancient town, it's best to just visit Meicheng.

As a person who grew up in southern Anhui, I have traveled to many places and cities, and Jiande is one of the places that touches my heart the most. Perhaps because it is particularly close to southern Anhui, there are always many similarities between these two places, such as the Huizhou architectural features of the horse head wall and small gray tiles, which can be seen everywhere in this ancient city of Meizhou.

In the ancient city of Meizhou, you can not only see ancient architectural plaques and feel the prosperity of the past here, but also taste a variety of unique Yanzhou snacks. Standing on the banks of the Xin'an River, Yanzhou has always been the most delicious delicacy, and you can buy dried river fish on the street. In addition, there are also some things that have never been eaten, such as Yanzhou Baked Cake and Yellow Rice Cake with Stinky tofu stuffing.

As the location of the ancient Yanzhou Prefecture, Meicheng is a bustling city, with passing commercial ships berthing outside the ancient dam for consumption and trading, making this street bustling with shops and shops. This is the historical Huangpu Street. Walking on the street, you will find that this place is different from those simple attractions because the locals still live and work here, making it a charming ancient city.

Eating in Jiande, Jiande has a long history, and there are countless snacks and specialty dishes passed down from the ancient Yanzhou cuisine culture; The natural ecological environment of being surrounded by mountains and rivers also makes Jiande rich in green agricultural products and various wild aquatic products. Jiande cuisine integrates Zhejiang cuisine and Anhui Cuisine cuisine, with the characteristics of "wild, local, fresh and spicy". Evolved to today, fresh ingredients and healthy practices are the two basic points, but the focus is on spiciness.

Eating spicy food is also related to the 17 degree river water. The air is humid, and living by the river is humid, so it is necessary to eat more spicy food to resist moisture. On New Year's Eve, how could we miss out on delicious food? The Banmei residential accommodation where we stayed is quite famous for its cuisine, and many locals come here to dine, so we chose this place.

The restaurant is located in the building where the front desk of Banmei Residence is located. The private rooms are quaint and elegant, and the service provided by the waiters is also very enthusiastic. When adding tea, they also have a very good grasp. The dishes here are mainly based on Jiande flavor, and there will also be some innovative dishes that combine with the current trend. For a heavy flavor enthusiast like me, it is a sumptuous dinner.

Bamboo shoots have always been a favorite ingredient among the people of Jiande, so you will see traces of them on many Jiande people's dining tables. The best pairing of bamboo shoots is cured meat, with one meat and one vegetable, which will also bring a unique feeling to your taste. Taiwanese Meatballs is also a favorite dish of Jiande people. The Taiwanese Meatballs here is wrapped with shredded radish, so it won't be so greasy.

Day 2 Enters the New United Airlines Center and Attempts a New Tourism Experience

In Jiande, there is an aviation town that is a modern large-scale tourism complex with aviation as its theme. I am not unfamiliar with both Jiande and Aviation Town. I have visited them twice before. But I don't know, the aviation town also has the New United Airlines Science Popularization Center and the New China Unicom Aviation Base, which is why I came this time.

Nowadays, parents are paying more and more attention to their children's comprehensive development. Even when traveling, they tend to go to some educational attractions for their children, which is why study tours are becoming increasingly popular. In the aviation town, there is such a scenic spot that is very suitable for taking children to visit and explore. This is the Xinlian Aviation Science Popularization Center, adjacent to the Xinlian Aviation Base.

Here, a different journey starts with changing clothes, and aviation clothing is provided for children to wear, which will increase their interest. The entire science popularization center is divided into two levels. The first level is mainly the area for science popularization exhibitions, and the second level is mainly the area for teaching and handcrafting.

Entering the Science Popularization Center, the first thing displayed in front of us is a colorful airplane. In the second exhibition hall, various models are displayed, such as the earliest airplane, China's latest J-20, and domestically produced large aircraft. Almost any military or civil aviation model in China can be seen here. Moreover, here we can also learn about the development history of aviation.

The third and fourth exhibition halls showcase some aviation related internal components and introduce their working principles. In the fifth exhibition, multiple flight simulators are placed, and you can experience how to fly an airplane under the guidance of the staff, which is also our favorite part. Arriving at the second floor, there are the rest area and teaching area. Students who come here for research and study can create a simple airplane model under the guidance of professional teachers. From learning theoretical knowledge to hands-on operation, they will definitely have a deep memory of aviation related knowledge.

Jiande Xinlian Aviation Science Popularization Center has a high-tech aviation science popularization exhibition hall, where you can immerse yourself in different aviation history knowledge through a surround screen. This not only showcases a variety of aircraft and fighter models, but also allows you to personally experience helicopter flight simulators under the guidance of staff. Whether for aviation enthusiasts or military enthusiasts, it is a treasure trove.

At the New China Unicom Air Base, if we are lucky, we can also watch a stunning aerial model stunt up close, and this time our luck is good enough. Due to the fact that the aerial model stunt performance here is still in the trial operation stage, this time it is free, and I have to marvel at the good luck. Before the performance started, you could see many models of aircraft, big and small, on site, which attracted countless praises from the children around you.

Under the leadership of the staff, the aerial model stunt performance began. The aerial model members of this performance were all professionals who had won awards in competitions. The segments of performances presented to us were really exciting. Under their operation, the aerial model performed various difficult movements, such as the famous Cobra maneuver and the chaotic dance of helicopters. The audience burst into applause.

The New China Unicom Aviation Base is located in the middle of the aviation town, and is mainly divided into three areas. The front desk and waiting area are the first area, which mainly receives tourists who come to experience. Only tourists who have booked routes can enter the waiting area. In order to provide customers with a better experience, the entire waiting process has a strong sense of ceremony, and there are also special souvenirs placed in the waiting area, such as very handsome pilot tops, pilot dolls, and so on.

The second area is the factory area where helicopters are parked, and the third area is the takeoff area for helicopters. Tourists who come here to experience can board the Robinson R44 Thunderbird II helicopter and embark on a magical journey in the sky. There are a total of nine tourist routes in New China Unicom Airlines, and the duration, attractions, and costs of each route vary. This time, we experienced a 30 minute Zhijiang route, which costs 1280 yuan per person. Although the price is not cheap, I think it is very cost-effective and cost-effective.

Day 3 enters a characteristic well-off village and experiences the fun of handcrafting bronze ware

As the temperature decreases, the days leading up to the New Year are also decreasing. Only in rural areas can the taste of the New Year be the purest. Although it is already the cold winter season, the happy village in the south is still lush with greenery, and the fruit trees in the courtyard of the village's famous families are also full of fruits. The primitive countryside is peaceful and tranquil, and at the end of the year and beginning of the year, it exudes a rare New Year atmosphere from elsewhere.

"Enter the Happy Village and become a happy person" is the promotional slogan of Jiande Happy Village. When you come to Happiness Village, you will find that this village has broken our traditional impression of the countryside and is no longer dirty and dilapidated. Here, you can see a neat four lane asphalt road; Here, you can see small western-style houses with two or three floors; Here, you can see the mountains and clear waters surrounded by green plants.

Happiness Village is not only attractive during the New Year season. Due to its unique geographical location, it is close to major cities such as Shanghai and Hangzhou, and its picturesque scenery, it has become a popular destination for many city dwellers on weekends and holidays. Therefore, it has also been rated as a 3A level tourist reception area. Walking into this happy tribe, it preserves many of the former rural areas and showcases many things from that era. Only by recalling the past can we cherish the beauty of the present more.

Our next stop is to visit a different art museum, the Copper Art Museum located at the foot of the Revolutionary Mountain Tea Factory in Qiantan Town. The exterior is simple and low-key, with a small path leading inside, which makes it not very noticeable to many people. Two or three one story houses stand before us, although not tall, the exquisite and elegant atmosphere here can be seen from the design and decoration.

It took me quite some time to arrive from the entrance to the main exhibition hall, which was less than 100 meters away. It wasn't that the road was difficult to walk, but there were too many places on the road for me to stop, such as a copper ornament on the ground or a copper duck on the wall, which I loved immensely. When I walked into the museum, it seemed like I had entered another world - a world of copper and wood.

The total investment of the Copper Art Museum project is 88 million yuan, covering an area of 14000 square meters. The project consists of two major blocks: exhibition and functional. The exhibition area mainly includes the intangible cultural heritage exhibition area of copper carving techniques, copper art collection area, copper wood home furnishings exhibition area, copper decoration exhibition area, copper craftsmanship exhibition area, and copper culture exhibition area.

The functional area mainly consists of a copper art production experience area and a copper carving skill teaching and training area. Seeing so many exquisite copper products in the exhibition area, is it already tempting to think about making a good copper product by oneself. Here, we can help you achieve this dream.

Under the guidance of professional teachers, you can make some copper products that you are interested in. Of course, exquisite copper products not only require technology, but also require day and night effort and persistence. As a tourist, the most realistic thing is to make some simple copper products, such as a copper spoon, which can be engraved with your name after production. For me, this is the best souvenir.

Once again, I came to Jiande and it presented me with something different, bringing me a brand new and cool journey. I look forward to the next reunion.
