"The Qiantang River reaches Tonglu, and the waters are not as clear as the mountains and green paintings." Wei Zhuang, a poet of the late Tang Dynasty and former prime minister of Shu, has become the best propaganda phrase for Tonglu County through historical time and space

This May Day, we set out from downtown Hangzhou to come to the "Poetry Township and Painting City, Charming Tonglu" to experience the different beautiful scenery and rich activities of Jiangnan in spring, and also tasted many local private delicacies in Tonglu.

Day 1: Driving from downtown Hangzhou to Tonglu Dipu Huahai

Our motorcade drove all the way to the Dipu Flower Sea and arrived at the scenic spot. The entire sea of flowers in front of me directly shocked me. Thousands of flowers were blooming in the fields. Many self-driving tourists were also here to experience the world of flowers. Some tourists took them directly with camping equipment Spend your vacation here

I happened to encounter local activities such as "People's Day" and "Opera Week". Not only can you play the amusement projects of Huahai Sea, but you can also enjoy rich opera performances here. There are also new crew holding activities here that day, and there will be more in the future. Film and television works will also be filmed here

Dipu Huahai:

Take "flower sightseeing, leisure vacation, activity scenes" as clues

The sea of flowers is mainly ornamental flowers with different flowering periods and colors such as zinnia, cosmos, verbena, sunflower, and cornflower. It is a romantic rural ecological sea of flowers from April to June and October to November every year.

Lunch: Dipu Xiaoyi Farmhouse, Tonglu century-old store, Zhejiang ancient house with white walls and black tiles, the simple atmosphere is great.

Tasting Tonglu's local farmhouse dishes, not only did you taste the delicious but not greasy braised pork, juicy fried shrimp, soy fragrant immortal chicken, etc., but also enjoyed the must-eat "wine-brewed steamed buns" that Tonglu must eat.", neither dry nor firewood, soft glutinous Q bombs, and when eating, there is a aroma of rice wine in your mouth and nostrils.

After lunch, we came to the Shen 'ao Ancient Village. Shen' ao Ancient Village is located about 16 kilometers southwest of Tonglu County, on the bank of the Fuchun River. It is an important part of the Jiangnan Ancient Village in the 4A-level scenic spot. It has attracted many tourists. Most tourists come for its ancient charm and original ecology and do not need tickets.

Shen 'ao Ancient Village has a very long history. It was developed by the ancestors of the Shentu family after the Southern Song Dynasty. During the Qing Dynasty, Shen' ao Village developed particularly rapidly, and groups of merchants who became rich by trafficking straw paper appeared. Today, most of the buildings you see in the ancient village were built during that period and are still very well preserved today. Come here to experience the Jiangnan charm of Tonglu's "Beautiful Chinese Village"

When you come to Tonglu, you must experience the "Xanadu" immortal life in the mountains and rivers-find a B & B you like to stay for the night and experience the slow pace of life in Tonglu. Coming to Qinglongwu must be a good choice. There are many B & B clusters, surrounded by green greens, small bridges and flowing water, breathe the negative oxygen ions of nature, which is simply a spiritual cleansing

This time we stayed at Qinglongwu Qizhu B & B. I heard that it was once an old Tonglu house left behind by generations. Now it is as old as before. While retaining the appearance and overall structure to restore Tonglu rural life, the facilities inside are clean and complete. It is especially pleasant to listen to the gurgling stream and the singing of birds in the swimming pool in the courtyard

There is also a must-check bookstore hidden in Qinglongwu-Yanji Village Book Bar. The floor-to-ceiling glass in the mountains and forests is inlaid on the simple walls. It has not only become a local Internet celebrity check-in place that young people like. A cup of coffee, a book, temporarily escape the hustle of the city and be in a daze for an afternoon. Who doesn't envy such a life?

The next day, I wanted to spend a lazy morning, but I didn't want to miss more beautiful scenery in Tonglu. Tonglu's slow life also had many different experiences

Luci Village is a representative "slow life experience area" in Tonglu. In the living area built along the river here, many traditional hand-making experiences are still preserved, such as pottery art, root carving, etc. You can not only learn a lot of cultural knowledge, but also Make it by yourself

After visiting Luci Village, we came to the Maling Ancient Road, which was a shortcut connecting Jinhua Prefecture and Yanzhou Prefecture in ancient times. Many outdoor enthusiasts even admire that "the scenery of this ancient road is comparable to that of Huangshan Mountain." The surrounding stone bridges are covered with lianas and are full of greenery

I would like to recommend a local restaurant in Tonglu to you. The taste is great. It is called "Qingshan Restaurant". Lunch here is a feast. Tonglu Wo Tofu, Tonglu Vinegar Fish, and Pork with Dried Vegetables are all worth trying, especially this mushroom and old duck stew, stewed slowly over low heat, delicious and nutritious

After lunch, I came to the Yan Ziling Fishing Platform again. This time, the Yan Ziling Fishing Platform specially launched an immersive "landscape drama", allowing tourists to interact with the actors the moment they enter the scenic area by boat, as if they had traveled through the sea. Through the actors 'vivid interpretations, learn about Yan Ziling's knowledge of the fishing platform.

From the foot of the mountain to the Dongtai and Xitai, there were different actors along the way. Finally, they reached the top of the mountain and watched the beautiful scenery of the Little Three Gorges on the Fuchun River with Mr. Yan Ziling

Yan Ziling Fishing Terrace is located at the foot of Fuchun Mountain in Tonglu County, Zhejiang Province. It is the main scenic spot on the Fuchun River. Fuchun Mountain west of Fuchun River Town. Named after Yan Ziling lived in seclusion here in the Eastern Han Dynasty, you can enjoy the "Fuchun River Small Three Gorges" here

"If you don't reach Yan Ziling, you will visit Fuchun River in vain." Although there are many scenic spots, there are very few that combine natural mountains and rivers with immersive drama interactions. It is difficult to describe such an experience so vividly in words. Only by yourself can you experience it, you can feel the ancient and modern celebrities, prefer Fuchun mountains and rivers, and the leisurely and leisurely travel of Yan Ziling's fishing platform

There are too many beautiful scenery in Tonglu. If you like green mountains and clear waters, Qinglongwu in Luci Village can give you a fairyland on earth; if you like petty bourgeoisie literature and art, all kinds of cultural and creative shops are full of exquisite scenery; if you like family driving, Dipu Huahai gives you the freshness of the four seasons like spring; if you like to be close to nature, Yan Ziling's fishing platform allows you to experience the beautiful scenery in the paintings of the "Fuchun River Small Three Gorges";

Although the two days and one night were short, they were full of rewards. I returned to Hangzhou with good memories.
