The days to come are always beckoning to us. As we all know, living in the present is the wisest choice, but all these beauty always reminds us not to forget our past efforts. In the past, it was a battlefield filled with smoke, but today it is a fishing boat singing at night, peaceful and comfortable. This is an unforgettable red journey, never forgetting the original intention and keeping the mission in mind.

I have always believed that I must take him on a trip before getting married. Whether near or far, it can extremely test a person. Whether it is patience or carefulness, it can be seen from the journey. Only then can you truly decide whether you can entrust yourself to him.

I have always liked the mountains and rivers of Zhejiang very much. There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Friends who travel to Hangzhou must not miss Xiaoshan Strict. Every day can create a new experience.


Itinerary: DAY1. Heshang Town (Heshang Ancient Town, Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall, Wenchang Pavilion, Qu Manyun Memorial Hall)

Stay in Seabird World

DAY2. Louta Ancient Town-Loumanwen Memorial Hall-Yiqiao Revolutionary History Memorial Hall-Yaqian Town (Yang Zhihua Memorial Hall, Peasant Movement Memorial Hall, Guanhe Scenery)

In Xu Tongtai Square in Heshang Town, a down-to-earth "rural market" was warmly staged, interspersed with behavior flash in the form of "Bamboo Chair Waltz", bringing the audience present into Xiaoshan's local memory. The opening ceremony of the 2nd Xiaoshan Rural Cultural Tourism Festival,"Rural I·Village Tour", was grandly held in Xiaoshan River Old Street.

Zhao Liming, Deputy Secretary of the Xiaoshan District Committee of the Communist Party of China, delivered a speech. He said that in recent years, Xiaoshan has relied on the construction of beautiful countryside to vigorously develop rural tourism, explore and integrate rural cultural heritage, eco-tourism resources, and characteristic agricultural industries, and has embarked on a new path for the integrated development of agriculture, culture and tourism. Against the special background of alleviating the epidemic, we hope that through the window of the second Xiaoshan Rural Cultural Tourism Festival, at the current important moment when the tourism industry is "wintering and welcoming the spring", we can give full play to the strong linkage of "one industry booming" and drive "all industries prosperous". The role has injected strong momentum into the revitalization of Xiaoshan rural areas.


Ten "Xiaoshan Rural Cultural Tourism Boutique Routes" were also released on the site. A journey to the new look of the ancient village, a journey to the red classics, a journey to remember the original intention, etc. On a spring trip to Xiaoshan, I and Village Tour.

First stop: Heshang Ancient Town

History is the background of Xiaoshan, and its culture has a long history. I like to visit ancient towns and feel the local customs. In Fan Zhongyan's poem: The mountains and rivers of Vietnam are filled with dust, and the scenery at the mouth of the river is new step by step. If Kuaiji is hidden, spring will also be seen deep in the white clouds. The mountains and rivers depicted in every sentence are a vivid portrayal of Heshang Town. The nationally famous Laodizi Maotaixiang Xu Tongtai Official Sauce Garden is also hidden in Heshang Town.

Walking quietly like this, I felt every ancient charm and new trend in the ancient town, cultural creation and folk arts. Heshang Laoji Street was originally built in the Tang Dynasty. With a gentle step, you can see the merchants and shops once gathered.

The lively scenes everywhere in the town seem to have returned to the past. The grandma is smiling and waiting for a cake baked by a coal stove. The eldest sister wearing floral flowers is hand-copying the tea leaves on the street. The aroma of tea makes people feel comfortable. The most vivid thing in Heshang Town is the century-old folk custom of dragon lanterns (Banlong). The dragon head and tail are made by the non-governmental organization "Lao Long Shenghui". The shape is very exquisite and complex, requiring careful binding by skilled craftsmen. Only a few elderly people in Xitou Village in Heshang Town retain this unique skill. The carnival of dragon dancing continues until the Lantern Festival. At 12 o'clock in the night of the Lantern Festival, people will burn the dragon heads to pray for smooth weather, peace for the country and peace for the people, and prosperity and well-being.

Old cloth workshop, old tea shop, people's email... The traces of time take us through this ancient street and small city, full of memories hidden in our hearts. The rivers and mountains are picturesque, so I must take him to live on the river without leaving the city. Heshang Town has a history of thousands of years. You may think that Heshang is very similar to a monk. Yes, it was called the "Monk Shop" in ancient times.

You must have never heard of percussion music in the kitchen, have you? On the streets of Hesu Street, villagers held pot lids, buckets, wooden sticks, bowls, chopping boards, etc., and beat dynamic music, bringing joy and winning bursts of applause.


Second stop: Xiaoshan Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall

The car passed through the small street and drove along the rainbow town road for a few minutes. There was an ancient ginkgo tree full of green in front of me, but I could already imagine the paved streets full of golden gold in autumn. This village is called Fenghuangwu Village. The ancient ginkgo trees at the head of the village have been around for more than 700 years. They have witnessed the glorious history of the entire village. There are many paintings painted on the walls, which read,"We must deal with the brothers who have died from the earth", always reminding everyone. The happy life now is all bought by the soldiers in the past with the blood of their lives.

The old house of Fengwu Village in Heshang is a century-old ancestral house. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Xiaoshan County Government moved here three times. For more than five years, it served as the command center of Xiaoshan's Anti-Japanese War.

I came to the Xiaoshan Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall hidden among the residents. This is an old house repaired with the funds of the district and town on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 2015. Through a large number of historical photos and materials, the museum truly reproduces the Japanese invasion of Xiaoshan and the difficult journey of the military and civilians to resist. It demonstrates the truth that justice will win, peace will win, and the people will win.


Third stop: Wenchang Pavilion, Heshang Park

There are many Wenchang pavilions all over the country. The Wenchang Pavilion in Heshang Park was built in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, rebuilt during the Qianlong period, and later destroyed in the War of Resistance Against Japan. In 2009, villagers raised funds to build a new building, which has now become the symbol and pride of Fengwu Village.


Fourth stop: Qu Manyun's former residence


Passing through the residential area of Heshang Town, a very large Hui-style building stands in front of you. This is the former residence of Qu Manyun. The unknown Qu Manyun was a doctor with superb medical skills and responsible work. On his 60th birthday in 1942, Chairman Mao Zedong personally inscribed the four words "Being old and strong" congratulatory words. He was the only person who was inscribed by Chairman Mao during his lifetime.


Fifth stop: Sea Bird World B & B

There is a courtyard house amidst a sea of bamboo. This is the Seabird World B & B I met in the mountains of Xiaoshan. It was renovated from a century-old house that has gone through ups and downs, and it has a different feeling. At night, sitting in the courtyard house and looking at the stars is your dream.

In the early morning, I was awakened by birds, and I felt a long-lost freshness. Even if you are half-awake in a dream and think that the years are a journey with no return, just keep this feeling well! Breakfast at Seabird World is ordered upon check-in. There are Western-style Chinese meals and children's meals, and it is always delivered directly to the room in the morning.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, with the pink walls and black tiles and horse-head walls, the golden sunshine is lazily scattered in this B & B hidden in the mountains. Through the windows, lights and shadows remain in the house, so beautiful that they don't want to leave.


Sixth stop: Louta Ancient Town

Ancient Yunlou Tower, Qingshui Town. The towers are surrounded by mountains and nine-winding streams, which have a unique charm and exquisite nature. This is a thousand-year ancient village tower. The tower has no tower. The tower here means earth mound. More than 1100 years ago, after the ancestor Lou Jin guarded the Huangling Mountains, he saw the beautiful mountains and rivers along the Zhoukou River, with fields for farming and firewood for firewood. On the sand dunes south of the Zhoukou River, the Jifa people formed a village and developed into a ji town. It was called Loujia Tower, or Lou Tower for short.

Here is Xiaoshan's most completely preserved and largest ancient buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Walking during this period, people will always be intoxicated. Visiting the mountains and rivers of Xianyan, listening to the allusions of miracle doctors, and tasting ten ancient songs... In this beautiful landscape of Zhejiang, there is actually such a hometown of Chinese folk culture and art.

The entire Louta Ancient Town is built with the word "well", which diverts water into the street, making the entire ancient town look very lively. There are also multiple memorial halls that string together human and historical stories.

Lou Ying was a medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty. She wrote 40 volumes of "Compendium of Medicine", which has far-reaching influence on future generations. Local people respectfully call him "Fairy Taigong". Lou Ying Memorial Hall records Lou Ying's life, achievements and influence.

Lou Manwen Memorial Hall records Lou Manwen's historical story and has become an educational base for primary and secondary schools to relive the extraordinary years. Modern sound, light and electricity are used in the memorial hall to vividly and in detail the life of martyr Lou Manwen through oil paintings, sculptures, comics and miniature scenes.

Walking in Louta Ancient Town is like a journey. Ancient streams, ancient trees, ancient houses and ancient houses all tell a wonderful history. Enter the Li Keran Painting Academy and admire the art works of Li Keran, a master of Chinese landscape painting in the 20th century. The purpose of this painting academy is to study Li Keran's academic system and artistic thoughts, inherit the art of Chinese painting, and promote the vigorous development of contemporary art through various academic activities and external exchanges.

Lunch is the top ten bowls of Louta recommended by locals. It is right at the mouth of the ancient town. Louta three delicacies, tofu soup, dried plum and pork, etc. are all authentic Zhejiang cuisine and the taste is really good.


Seventh Station: Yiqiao Town

Time is a witness to a new city. It takes about half an hour to drive from Heshang Town to Yiqiao Town. This is the intersection of Qiantang River, Fuchun River and Puyang River, forming a magnificent landscape and the Yupu culture that has been passed down to this day. Yiqiao is also an important starting point for the road to Tang poetry.

It's another Hui-style building. It's said in a previous article that I like this kind of building very much. Every time I drive anywhere, I can't help but take a few more glances at the Hui-style buildings under the green mountains along the way. In Yiqiao Town is the Yiqiao Historical Memorial Hall.

I met a young grandfather and told us some stories about this memorial hall. It also has a glorious history of a century and also displays the advanced deeds of Shen Peilan, the anti-Japanese hero who died for the country.


Eighth stop: Yaqian Town

After many twists and turns, we finally arrived in Yaqian Town. Rural travel is becoming more and more popular. It is not so crowded and can truly integrate into the lives of local people. I think everyone must remember Yang Zhihua, the female hero in books. She was the second wife of the early leader Qu Qiubai. On a not very high mountain in Yaqian Town, Xiaoshan Strict, she built the Yang Zhihua Memorial Hall to record her life. This is definitely the first stop for children.

Not far from the Yang Zhihua Memorial Hall, we came to the Yaqian Peasant Movement Memorial Hall to recall a red memory together and feel the farmers 'yearning for a better life and their expectation of being the masters of the country at that time. Given those difficulties, we should cherish the present and never forget our original intention!

Red Yamen, green development, and today's prosperity and development of Yamen are inseparable from the peasant movement of the Anti-Japanese War in the 1920s. The Agricultural Transportation Hall introduced the historical evolution of Yaqian from the ancient city of Jiangnan where farming, fishing and hunting along the Qiantang River, to the red agricultural transportation holy land famous in modern times, and to today's new industrialized towns. Using various artistic means and perspectives, it vividly presents the glorious history of the Yaqian peasant movement and demonstrates the inheritance of the Yaqian spirit.

Finally, walking along the Guan River in Xiaoshan Yamen and feeling the beautiful picture of Jiangnan, you will notice that the style of the water town here is getting stronger and stronger... The old house that I have lived in for a lifetime has undergone new changes, let us Always remember the red Ya Qian and the ancient rhyme of the Guan River.
