I have been to Hangzhou many times, but it is my first time to come to Fuyang. Every trip brings me something, and this trip to Fuyang is the same.
Follow me, travel with your eyes, explore with your heart...
1. Jiuxiao Biyun Cave VS Wild Castanopsis Forest, chasing the most beautiful light and shadow of Fuchun Taoyuan Scenic Area
In Fuchun Taoyuan Scenic Area in Fuyang, Hangzhou, there are two wonders. One is Jiuxiao Biyun Cave, and the other is Wild Castanopsis forest. This place has the most beautiful light and shadow of Fuchun Taoyuan Scenic Area.
Jiuxiao Biyun Cave covers an area of 28,000 square meters, and the highest clearance inside the cave is 24 meters. The large area of a single hall is rare in China and is known as the "largest hole hall in the Asia-Pacific."
The bottom of the cave is flat and can accommodate more than a thousand people. The largest stalactite "Qingtian Jade Pillar" in the cave is more than 20 meters high, supporting a "blue sky and white clouds" on the roof of the cave. There are 23 groups of magical and gorgeous scenery stones in the dome hall.
There are strange flowers in Shenzhou, Huangguoshu Waterfall, Leaning Tower of Pisa, Thai elephants, etc., which constitute a unique cave wonder that will make you dizzying.
Take a rail mountain bike from the foot of the mountain and suddenly arrive outside Jiuxiao Biyun Cave amidst the wind blowing in your ears and the green green in your eyes. Follow the narrow mountain path to the entrance of the artificial tunnel, travel about 100 meters, and you will reach another mysterious grotto-heaven.
The ground here is completely stone, and there are low-lying places that form pools, which are formed by flowing springs in the cave and dripping water from the stone walls; there are protrusions that are shaped like bamboo shoots and columns, and are stalactite crystals.
Looking up at the top of the cave, it is either flat as a whetstone, or hanging like a curtain, or undulating, or undulating, which makes people have to worship the magical craftsmanship of nature. The cave is decorated with artificial lights, giving people the feeling of being in a Qiongyao fairyland. The cave hall is open, with three or two timescale stone pillars standing tall. Under the dressing up of artificial light, it is even more magnificent. Standing next to the largest stalactite stone pillar in the cave known as the "Sky Jade Pillar", facing the ravines etched by the vicissitudes of time, I can't help but feel the vastness of nature and the moment of life at this moment.
There was the faint sound of dripping water from flowing springs in my ears. I suddenly thought that maybe only the lonely sound of water is the soulmate of these stones. These tribulations accumulated day and night around us all adhere to a vision of a distant future.
Fold a leaf flute at will and blow it at will. While walking, I pondered the five words "Jiuxiao Biyun Cave", but there was a dream of rising to the sky and entering the earth. I arrived at those distant heights in this deep cave.
The second place is the Tiancheng Wild Castanopsis forest. This is a wild Castanopsis forest full of vitality with more than a hundred acres. It is clear and quiet. Tourists can step into the cool world, bathe in the forest, listen to the singing of mountain springs, and seek fairy tales and dreams. It is full of fun.
The Forest Roller Coaster Project is currently the most advanced tube slide in China, allowing tourists to experience the fun of an unpowered roller coaster without danger.
Mountain barbecues and tofu shops allow visitors to enjoy folk delicacies. Walking through the 330-meter tunnel and connecting it to Biyun Cave, it can be said that you have just left the fairy mountain and entered the cave.
We passed through this artificially dug tunnel to enjoy the Tiancheng wild Castanopsis forest. This tunnel is quite long. We walked for three or four minutes and is estimated to be about 300 meters long.
There are hundreds of acres of wild castanopsis trees here that have grown for hundreds of years. Castanopsis sylvestris trees have a strong air purification function, so people call Castanopsis sylvestris forest a natural oxygen bar. Castanopsis scleri has a very long life span, evergreen leaves, and strong resistance to toxic gases such as carbon dioxide.
The roller coaster project is located in the Tiancheng Wild Castanopsis Forest Area of the scenic spot, adding a new element to the leisure and tranquility of the forest park, that is,"movement." With the roller coaster, the forest can move.
This project is a relatively advanced tubular slide in China, with a sliding distance of more than 400 meters. The speed can be controlled by tourists themselves, either fast or slow (slow driving is recommended), allowing tourists to experience the feeling of a roller coaster in the forest without any surprises.
Wild carp is not a wild boar. I haven't seen a wild boar, but there are projects that will make you have fun. Let's move together...
2. In Shangshan Village, the lotus flowers are in bloom and the delicious food is ready. We are waiting for you
Every summer, in Hangzhou, you will definitely eat a "fresh fruit"-fresh lotus. It is said that Hangzhou citizens eat more than 2 million lotus seedlings every summer.
At present, in the season when lotus blossoms are blooming and lotus seedlings are available, the Lotus Pond Music Festival in Fuyang, Hangzhou has also begun, and all kinds of delicious food are available.
The lotus is at its freshest within 6 hours from the time the lotus is taken off. After that, because of the "breathing effect" of the lotus seeds, the sweetness will decrease, and the sweet taste will fade. But it doesn't matter, there are all kinds of freshness here that you can taste.
Lotus seedlings in the West Lake cannot be picked casually, and the ten-thousand-acre lotus pond in Daciyan, Jiande, is relatively far away. Where can I find delicious and freshly picked lotus seedlings in Hangzhou? There is a Shangshan Village in Xindeng Town, Fuyang, 40 kilometers away from Hangzhou's Main City, where there are 300 acres of "Best in Lotus".
These 300 acres of lotus ponds belong to Fujian Jianlian varieties and have historically been known as the "best in lotus"(also known as "tribute lotus"). After conducting multiple inspections, Ying Junsong, the "pond owner" who contracted the operation, found that Shangshan Village with good water and sufficient light had the conditions for planting "Jianlian" and began to introduce it.
At present, although the blooming period of lotus flowers has passed, it is just the harvest period of lotus seeds.
In addition to lotus seeds, delicious food has also been launched one after another. Do you really want to enjoy it?
Some people describe it this way. Eating delicious food in Shangshan Village in Fuyang can be so delicious that you doubt your life. Fuyang has been making frequent moves recently, holding a series of food activities to prepare to show off its talents, and waiting for you to taste it.
With Fuyang as the center, as far as Nanjing, Shanghai, Nanchang, and as far as Hangzhou, a heat wave with the theme of Fuyang's "mountain taste" is boiling. Nowadays, the event is in full swing, and I am the one who is attracted to it.
Are you excited?
Here are the lotus seeds again. Have you eaten the sweet lotus seeds? But have you tried dry-chewing lotus seeds? The lotus seeds in the 300-acre lotus pond in Shangshan Village, Xindeng Town, Fuyang District have been peeled. This is a new local agricultural support project. The main products are organic fresh lotus seeds and organic dried lotus seeds.
The whole body of the lotus is a treasure, and lotus leaves, lotus hearts and lotus seeds can be processed into food; lotus flowers, lotus chambers and lotus whiskers can be used as medicine; in the second half of the year, a large number of lotus roots will be unearthed in the lotus pond and can be processed into lotus root flour;"In addition to fresh lotus seeds sold, we now process two to three hundred kilograms of dried lotus flowers every day. These dried lotus flowers are 'crunchy' to chew and have a milky aroma. They can be eaten raw or cooked.
Now, some parent-child and study tour projects have been opened in the 300-acre lotus pond to create "lotus family fun".
It is very convenient to go to Shangshan Village. Take National Highway 320 to the west and turn to Provincial Highway 305 for more than 10 minutes. You can see hundreds of acres of lotus ponds on the roadside. You can also find it by entering "Shangshan Village" through the navigation.
The food and beautiful scenery here are ready, and everything is very romantic. Are you ready...
3. Huanggongwang Village,"The Picture of Residence in Fuchun Mountain" You Don't Know
Everyone must have heard of this "Picture of Living in Fuchun Mountains". It is a priceless treasure. Now it has been divided into two. The first half of the "Picture of Remains of Mountains" is now collected in the Zhejiang Province Museum, and the second half is collected in the Palace Museum in Taipei in Taiwan.
But do you know its author?
Its author is Huang Gongwang, Mr. Huang is a painter of the Yuan Dynasty. Later, he adopted Huang as his son in Pingyang County, Yongjia Prefecture (now Cangnan County, Zhejiang Province) and lived in Yushan Hills. He changed his surname to Huang and his name was Gongwang. He was good at painting mountains and rivers, learning from Dong Yuan and Ju Ran, and also cultivating Li Chengzhi's methods. He was instructed by Zhao Mengfu. The ink brushes he made are old, simple and profound. He also applied a little light ochre on the ink, which is called "shallow crimson landscape."
Huanggongwang Village is Mr. Huang's secluded place. The air here is a bit sweet, with a PM value of 2.5 and sufficient negative oxygen ions, allowing you to breathe the purest taste of nature!
Huang Gongwang's Hermitage Scenic Area is a subsidiary of Fuyang Cultural Tourism Group. This collection activity is also led by the Cultural Tourism Group. Huang Gongwang lives in seclusion. Whether it is children or the elderly, young brothers and sisters are very suitable, and there are study courses and expansion activities to participate in here.
There is a saying about the creation story of "The Painting of Residence in Fuchun Mountain": In the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Huang Gongwang was 79 years old. He once returned to Fuchun Mountain Residence from Songjiang and accompanied his friend, the useless Zen Master. In his spare time, Huang Gongwang started writing this long scroll from the south building of his mountain residence. However, he often traveled abroad, but the painting scroll remained in the mountains, so he had to "scroll around and fill in", so "he did not complete it after reading it for three or four years." It seemed useless and worried that he would be taken away from him, so he asked Huang Gongwang to write an inscription in the painting to clarify his belonging. But it is never known when it will be completed.
King Yuanqi of the Qing Dynasty said in "Lutai Inscription Painting" that it was completed after seven years of operation, but Huang Gongwang only had seven years of automatic writing until his death. A painting has been painted for so many years, but 250 years later, Tibetan Wu Hongyu asked his family to burn the painting and be buried in person before his death. His nephew Wu Jing 'an took advantage of his dying life to seize the remains of the painting in the fire. It is a legend of ancient times. So far, we have no way of knowing the length of the original volume, but we know that the former "Remnant Mountain Map" was 31.8 cm in length and 51.4 cm in width; the later "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" was 33 cm in length and 636.9 cm in width.
The picture depicts the early autumn scenery on both sides of the Fuchun River. The open book depicts the water color on the slopes, the distant mountains are vague, followed by the rolling mountains with the peaks competing for each other, and then the vast river water, the sky and water are in the same color. Finally, the peaks are protruding and the mountains are slim.
The jungle in the mountains is dense, dotted with cottages and thatched pavilions, and there are fishing boats in the water for fishing. The layout of mountains and water is properly dense, with clear layers, and large blank spaces are the constituent characteristics of the long scroll painting. The pen and ink have obviously followed Dong Yuan and Ju Ran, but they are more concise and neat. The hooks and chaps of the rocks are turned with a pen, casual and natural.
It is nearly 20 centimeters long and cracked, dry and wet. It has profound skills, free and elegant, and is filled with a dull and innocent charm. The entire picture is made of elegant ink. Only a layer of extremely light ink is dyed on the rocks, and a slightly darker ink is used to dye sand stains and wave shadows on the distant mountains and riverside. Only when moss and leaves are dotted, the ink is used, but it is enough to eye-catching.
This is a work that embodies the painter's lifelong pursuit and is enough to mark hundreds of generations. No wonder Dong Qichang exclaimed when he saw it: "My teacher! Our teacher! One hill and five mountains are all there!"
Huanggongwang Village is connected to Hangzhou in the east, Fuchun River in the south, International Golf Course in the west, Huanggongwang Forest Park in the north. Jiangbin East Avenue, a city-level highway, runs through the south of the village. The geographical location is very superior. The "Map of Residence in Fuchun Mountain" from that time must be a true portrayal of this place, so Huang Gongwang chose to live in seclusion here.
It was also the day 600 years ago that when Huang Gongwang traveled here, the excellent mountains and rivers broke into the old man's eyes and heart. He was moved by the beautiful scenery here, so he stopped there and painted "Fuchun Mountain Residence". From this, Huang Gongwang, a great painter of the Yuan Dynasty, formed an indissoluble bond here. In order to commemorate the old man, people named the village after him "Huanggongwang Village."
3. Shanglian Village, a collection of taste and visual feast of "mountain countryside"
Fuyang's "Taste of Mountain Country" activity is in full swing, and Shanglian Village's delicious food is not absent. As soon as we arrived, we were surrounded by a table of local delicacies, ready to "show our talents."
Boss, bring me anything delicious and delicious. I'm going to eat.
The development of tourism in a place is never random. Innate resources and acquired mining are indispensable. The four towns in the western mountainous countryside of Fuyang have such advantages: they have not only the natural scenery with beautiful mountains and clear waters and wonders of caves, but also the beautiful countryside of looking for peach blossoms in spring and ginkgo in autumn.
What's more valuable is that the people here do not live by the old concept of relying on the mountains and eating the mountains. Instead, through repeated attempts and efforts, they explore and promote the "taste" of this land and soil so that more people can know it. It also allows more people to come here to play, stay, and invest.
The picture below shows the loach catching activity:
Corresponding to the gourmet "program", performances were also staged nearby.
Exploring the development path of rural tourism in the four towns in the western mountainous countryside cannot be avoided in three stages: from the initial development of tourism solely by using innate resources, namely the development of two caves and one lake scenic spots; to exploring agricultural festivals, such as the Peach Blossom Festival and Ginkgo Festival, by using advantageous agricultural resources to "create festivals" to gather popularity; then to attracting foreign capital projects to form an organic development model of "projects + farmers" and "primary industry + tertiary industry".
These three stages are not only a process of continuous exploration, but also multiple dimensions of rural tourism. It is these three different forms that have created an all-round and three-dimensional rural tourism pattern in the western mountainous countryside. This is an atypical epitome of rural revitalization.
By not destroying the ecology, this land and water have become "alive", which not only earns enough attention, but also makes the people's pockets bulge.
Lucid waters and green mountains have really become invaluable assets for the people.
The villagers of Shanglian Village have also made a lot of contributions to the development of nearby scenic spots such as Biyun Cave.
Villagers have always known that there are holes in the nearby mountains, but no one has ever entered it. It was not until around 1980 that Tonglu Yaolin Wonderland began to be open to tourists. Some people from Bidongwu who had visited returned home and thought: "We also have caves here. Will it be such a cave? If we can also develop into a tourist attraction like Yaolin Wonderland, would we worry that others don't know about our Bidong Dock and our life will not get better?"
Later, many cave explorations were carried out and several caves such as Biyun Cave were discovered. The discovery of Biyun Cave excited the villagers in Shanglian and Xialian areas. They remembered that there was also a cave on the mountain of Lengshuikeng. "The villagers who cut firewood all know that there is a cave entrance on Lengshuikeng Mountain. When it is cold in winter, the cave entrance is steaming out and the white smoke rises high. Everyone says that there is a big and deep hole down here. It will take a long time to reach the end, and no one dares to go down.
After the cave was discovered, everyone wanted to visit this cave." Zheng Alai, who later served as the village director of Shanglian Village, was still a young guy at that time. After experiencing the preliminary exploration of the Bidongwu Cave, he was also very energetic in exploring the Lengshuikeng Cave. Two villagers first went to explore the cave. After climbing down more than ten meters, they still couldn't see the bottom, so they turned back. The second time, Zheng Alai and three other young men from Shanglian Village and one from Zha Village, and a group of five brought long ropes and walked down the hole.
The five people first went down to the first floor, which was more than ten meters away, and then Zheng Alai stood guard in place, just in case, while the other four continued to explore. The exploration took more than three hours. In the end, the four people were exhausted and relied on Zheng Alai and other villagers to pull them up with ropes. Also brought with it was the good news that this cave was extremely dangerous and that there was still groundwater in it.
The persistence and resilience of Shanxiang people have given Fuyang tourism one golden business card after another, and also allowed Shanxiang people to see a huge potential market for developing tourism.
The beautiful Fuyang Mountain Township is welcoming visitors from all over the world with an increasingly beautiful attitude; rural revitalization is giving birth to vigorous impetus and bringing a better scenery to the people of the mountain countryside...
This kind of "mountain flavor" of Fuyang is very high...
