Going to Qiandao Lake was bewitched, due to the beauty of the lake and river, and also due to the escape of pressure. The word "Thousand Islands" sounds spectacular. Taking advantage of the sunny weekend, I drove to Qiandao Lake with my friends. Although it was summer, I didn't feel the heat when I came to the arms of Wanmu Water City with the excitement of fleeing from the steel city.

The most convenient part of self-driving tour is to check in wherever you want. Along the way, the lake is wide, surrounded by mountains and water, and there are lakes in the mountains. The smoke is vast, like a fairyland. Looking from a distance, it seems like water and sky meet, and the undulating mountains are looming, making people can't help but take a few deep breaths of the fresh air here.

the first day

On the first day of our self-driving tour, we chose to go to Wenyuan Lion City. Wenyuan Lion City is a replica of the ancient city that has been sleeping for thousands of years at the bottom of Qiandao Lake. At that time, when I saw the live broadcast of exploring the ancient city underwater on TV, I was full of curiosity about this place! It takes about an hour from Qiandao Lake to Wenyuan Shicheng. You can also see the view of Qiandao Lake along the Chunkai Line. If you bring a camera, I am afraid that this road will take longer.

The 1400-year-old Old Lion City is named after its back to the Five Lion Mountains. The Old Lion City has many scenic spots and historic sites, including ancient ancient towers, archways and Yue Temple, City God Temple, Martyr Bridge, Five Lion Academy and other ancient buildings during the Ming and Qing Dynasties., as well as ancient tombs. Once Xin 'an Reservoir was in urgent need of being "born" and was swallowed under the water. A prosperous city is also covered in dust underwater. Today, Wenyuan Lion City is rebuilt on the lake of Jiangjia Town, which is closest to the underwater ancient Lion City. It is the perfect display of the thousand-year-old underwater ancient city of Qiandao Lake. Let the ancient lion city gradually awaken in people's memories. Whether it is the rebuilt ancient city or the dreamers who are working hard to restore it, it is shocking.

The first thing you come into view when you get off the car is the gate building of the "Wenyuan Lion City". Under the blue sky and white clouds, the gate building is towering and towering. There are lifelike lions sitting at the gate of the city. It's really magnificent!

After entering Wenyuan Lion City, I went straight to the VR Experience Hall.

Here, you can tour the entire underwater ancient city 360 degrees and feel its bricks, tiles, grass and trees. The traces of the ancient city for thousands of years have been sealed under the water. Now, only in this way can we get closer to it, appreciate the style of the ancient city for thousands of years, and feel the dedication and fearlessness of the immigrants more than 60 years ago. Although the ancient underwater city that has been longing for it all the way cannot go to the bottom of Qiandao Lake in person to find out, it is satisfying to get a little closer to it through technology.

Further inside, the houses along the way are all in the Hui-style architectural style with white walls and black tiles. With raving eaves and curved corners, carved wooden windows, the antique classical style makes tourists shuttle through it endlessly, and it is indeed lively. Looking down, the stone road you step on is very simple and ancient, and occasionally you can see stone slabs engraved with 24 solar terms. Step on it one by one, and instantly feel like an ancient person, walking in all directions on square bricks. The feeling of deja vu makes people feel trance! When an idea suddenly comes to mind, he communicates with his friends. If it was in a previous life, who can tell where they belong? This place seems really magical.

There are rows of buildings with white walls and black tiles on the ancient street, and there are countless various popular check-in places.

We were also lucky enough to encounter street parades, many of which were intangible cultural heritage folk dances, such as lion dances, bamboo horses, and shadow puppets. My friends and I watched a performance and thought dancing bamboo horses was the most interesting. The performer tied the body with five-color cloth of red, green, yellow, white and black, and tied it to the waist of the person in front and back sections, just like a person riding a horse, somersaulting and jumping freely. I really envy the people here. These memories of their hometown engraved in their bones are precious assets that they will never forget no matter how far they go.

The sonorous and powerful sound of gongs and drums, coupled with vivid performances, instantly aroused the enthusiasm of tourists, making the scene extremely popular.

There is also another performance stage in Wenyuan Lion City-Lion City Hall Fair, which holds performances with local characteristics of Chun'an every day. The house was packed and the sound of clapping was endless. The wonderful performances of the actors were worth seeing. Folk culture and fun collide here, and a variety of activities are waiting for you to explore.

After watching the performance, we ate and walked around and found that these folk snacks were not expensive. Since we came for the fish heads of Qiandao Lake, we just tasted all kinds of snacks. The organic fish head of Yichun Fu Restaurant is really unique. The milky white thick soup is paired with tender tofu. In one bite, it is so fresh that it is so delicious that the fish is tender and delicious, smooth and elastic. It is worthy of being a local specialty.

During dinner, the enthusiastic aunt told us that Wenyuan Lion City not only has wonderful folk customs projects, but also as a rare intangible cultural heritage life experience base in China, there is also textile experience in the scenic area. So, we rushed over after eating. The busy traffic in a bustling city always makes people feel like running around and watching flowers, busy all day long, and have no time to experience the joys of life or find peace in their hearts. In Wenyuan Lion City, you can see various DIY experience stores. With the help of the shop assistant here, I do it myself and give full play to my infinite creativity without any restrictions. It only takes half an hour to freely complete a piece of art of your own and experience the slow-paced life that a bustling city cannot experience.

In addition to the textile experience, there are also a variety of exquisite bamboo weaving handicrafts and tie-dyeing products. Just looking at it, you will find it very exquisite. If you are interested, you can also enter the store to experience it.

While wandering around the ancient city, I also took some photos with my friends, but looking at myself under the camera, I always felt that I was out of place here, and I suddenly realized that it was the clothes that were out of play! So we saw the "Republic of China Impression" dressing experience store on the street and went in immediately. The two people dressed in cheongsam and the scenery around them form a dense and colorful meticulous painting, wandering gracefully on the blue stone road in the Jiangnan water town. There is also an oil-paper umbrella shop around the corner, which has antique scenes and various billboards with very characteristics of the Republic of China. It is very suitable for checking in and taking photos and posting to the circle of friends.

At the end of the street, there is also a special shop-the Nostalgia Museum.

The story of the "past" is hidden in our ears and ears and in the deepest part of our hearts. But is memory the best means of nostalgia? No, it is the object that carries the memory. In the Nostalgia Museum, looking at these objects, listening to the old grandfather in the museum introducing us to the stories of these old objects, and imagining the past years, an imagination comes to mind... Nostalgia Museum is definitely worth checking in!

I think the most important thing during travel is accommodation. Only when my body is comfortably experienced and relaxed can I get better spiritual relaxation during the journey, and can I feel the city's customs and people to the greatest extent.

We chose the Lion City Art Inn located in Wenyuan Lion City Scenic Area. When checking in, the staff patiently communicated with us, asked about our preferences, and coordinated the rooms we liked. Even the most critical person can find his favorite theme style at Lion City Art Inn.

We had just experienced textiles in the afternoon, and we wanted to see what a textile-themed room would look like. Since this B & B is divided according to theme and scattered in various places in the scenic area, after going through the procedures, the staff was worried that we couldn't find the place and specially took us there. Along the way, the staff enthusiastically helped us carry our luggage, introduced the place for breakfast tomorrow, and told us that we could call anytime if we needed anything. The meticulous service made my friends and I feel very fond of this place.

The textile-themed room we chose was located in the central area of the ancient city. There were many entertainers rehearsing downstairs in a place similar to an activity center, and many spectators gathered around it. Entering from the next entrance is a lively courtyard where our room is located. The trees in the courtyard are lush and lush. Coupled with the pavilions, even if the sun is high at noon, it should be cool in summer. The koi carp swimming in the pond also add a touch of agility to this interesting courtyard.

The honor of art hotel is hung on the door of the room, and the interior of the room is also very spacious. There is also a large bay window near the window, which is especially suitable for making a pot of tea and chatting with friends. In addition, when I checked in, I found that everything from the customized toiletries of Lion City to the customized mineral water of Lion City, or the introduction information of Lion City given in the room will bear the mark of Lion City. I think this is the meaning of B & B. Because when traveling, those unique marks belonging to a place are precious assets. Lion City Art Inn really gets full marks in terms of details!

The fulfilling day was gradually coming to an end. After washing up with my friends and lying in bed, my thoughts couldn't help but drift... Holding an oil-paper umbrella, walking on the green stone road in Lion City, mottled old times sprinkled through the branches. A thousand years ago, we followed the footsteps of the ancient city to slowly lift the veil of history, feel the traces left by the intersection of time here, and imagine the prosperity and voices of the city before it was submerged. Exploring the mysteries of the water, this eastern "Atlantis" will continue to guard the dusty history under the blue waves, and will also continue to tell stories belonging to Wenyuan on top of Kunyu.

the next day

The weather was fine the next morning. After discussing with our companions, we arrived at the next stop-the central lake area of Qiandao Lake, which mainly includes Moonlight Island, Yule Island, Longshan Island and Meifeng Island. We spent the whole day visiting all four islands.

Moonlight Island is the largest of the four small islands and consists of several small islands. Moonlight Island can be said to be the best check-in point for young couples to travel here. Make a lifelong promise in the Moonlight Chapel, feed koi carp on the pontoon bridge, and a wedding photography base to record more romance and love for you.

However, among the four islands, I like Meifeng Island best. I think this island can better experience the charm and characteristics of Qiandao Lake. Buy tickets to Meifeng Island and climb to the top of the mountain to overlook the entire Qiandao Lake. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is gentle and beautiful, just as gentle and subtle as a woman in the south of the Yangtze River.

There are two ways to go up the mountain. You can choose to take the cableway and feel the speed of the wind during the exciting gliding, or you can crawl slowly by yourself and feel the inner tranquility and thinking in the quiet natural beauty. As the saying goes,"It's easier to go up the mountain than to go down the mountain", but here, going down the mountain is much easier. Grassskiing can bring you a new and different experience. Although the distance is short, it is still very exciting and interesting for me who I have never touched before.

The last stop, I came to the Tianyu Mountain Landscape Platform, where I can see the Qiandao Lake Bridge. The entire bridge is 1258 meters long and spans the Qiandao Lake waterway. Its shape like the wings of a bird perfectly blends with the surrounding mountains and rivers, and the endless stream of vehicles galloping in it fully demonstrates the harmonious coexistence between mankind and nature.

In good weather, you can see sunset and sunset here. The collision of red and blue colors is a masterpiece of nature's exquisite conception. The wide platform and long trestle provide excellent conditions for viewing the scenery. Tourists come and go, all immersed in the beautiful scenery. This is the place where I took the most photos during this trip. The excellent geographical location makes it feel like a large film if I take it casually, and I feel like I have become a first-class photographer in minutes.

In this way, my trip to Qiandao Lake ended along this route. The time spent here not only left me with many beautiful memories, but also made me feel the romance of Qiandao Lake. There are many emotions in different eras. Isn't the meaning of people just to explore them?
