It's finally time to usher in the May Day holiday, so I always have to go out for a stroll. It's too troublesome to cross provinces, so it's better to find a comfortable place around Hangzhou and stay for two days. The target was to lock on the ancient town of Longmen, which was about an hour away from Hangzhou.

Longmen Ancient Town is a national-level attraction on the "Fuchunjiang-Xin 'an River-Qiandao Lake" tourist route. It is said that it was the hometown of Sun Quan, King of Dongwu during the Three Kingdoms Period. Yan Ziling, a famous scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, visited Longmen and once praised: "The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, better than the Longmen of Luliang." Therefore, the ancient town got its name. The prototype of the famous "Fuchun Mountain Residence" also comes from this landscape and land.

There are shops on the old street in the ancient town. The aroma of fried gluten and rice wine is in the air. The elderly are sitting at the entrance of the alley chatting. I always think that the aborigines are the soul of the old town of Lao Jie and Old City, and Longmen is in line with this criterion. It is vivid, lively, and has a lovely fireworks atmosphere.

This long old street has always been a place where merchants and shops gather. Most of the shops have front shops and back squares, front shops and back residences, with the unique charm of the Ming and Qing markets in an ancient mountain town.

Gluten is a specialty snack in Longmen Ancient Town. The gluten here is not simply hollow gluten.

While the aunt at the stall skillfully made and fried gluten, she told me how to make gluten: 100 kilograms of wheat flour can be washed out to produce 30 kilograms of gluten, and then stuffed into the gluten with diced bamboo shoots, mushrooms, vegetables, meat, etc. Meatballs made from a mixture of meat, etc., are put in an oil pan and fried until done.

I bought one on the spot to try it. The gluten was crisp and the meatballs were delicious. After eating one, I decisively bought another!

At the beginning of May, flowers were everywhere and little daisies were in full bloom.

Walking in the ancient town, hydrangea, Lu Binghua, snapdragon, roses, and roses can be seen everywhere.

There is an old well on the corner. On the wall, there are scenes of early life painted: women are beating and washing clothes by the well, and men are carrying water home. It seems that you can hear the crisp sound of tinkering clothes.

After four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is getting golden and the tourists are slowly dispersing. In my eyes, this is the time that the ancient town begins to show its most touching and true side.

Otherwise, when you go to the ancient town, you must have seen it at dusk and early morning to truly visit it!

Turning into a shop selling miniature landscapes, you can see copper coin grass and small calamus grow green and pleasant, and small tea pet looks very innocent.

The old street is gradually becoming less crowded. Where the sun shines, it is warm golden, and in the shadows, it is quiet green.

Longmen River runs through the town. The water is sometimes deep and sometimes shallow, gurgling. From time to time, women walk down the stone stairs and wash by the stream. The old house with pink walls and black tiles is reflected in the water. Standing on the bridge and looking around, it is really a small bridge, flowing water, people, and even tourists have become the people in the painting.

I don't know who's house was moved to the roadside. The two lions, who were supposed to be majestic, looked festive and honest for some reason.

The loquat tree in front of people's doorsteps is covered with fruits.

Rich rural life is beautiful. There is a house at home, land outside, and three or two fruit trees at the door.

The old houses here are habitually made of cobblestones as external walls. They look simple and solid, with a special charm of mountainous countryside coming to your face.

By the bridge, an ancient large camphor tree lies across its sides, with dense branches and leaves covering almost the entire river. In the pavilion at the bridge head, several elderly people are chatting.

This is the easiest scene to see in Longmen Ancient Town. It is leisure, comfortable and loose, and it is even warmer because of the sunset.

On the stone bench for people to rest on the roadside, it is unknown who is drying dried bamboo shoots.

Yanchi is the core area of Longmen Ancient Town. The clear pool of water reflects the old houses full of ancient Jiangnan charm. So I think it makes sense for Huang Gongwang to choose Fuyang as the prototype of "Residence in Fuchun Mountain"!

The sunset gradually became denser and shone on the deep alley. The best time of the day is coming.

This day also coincides with the opening ceremony of the promotion of "Fuchun Mountain Residence, Taste Mountain Country" and the opening ceremony of the Rural Hundred Flowers Conference in Fuyang District. The epidemic is gradually stabilizing, and the people's lives should slowly get back on track.

Niubawan is a famous delicacy in Longmen Ancient Town. Longmen people are generous and hospitable. Whenever there are distinguished guests or important days, they will cook a large table of dishes. The main dish is bowls of beef. This is the origin of "Niubawan". However, in the past, I could only eat it in person and couldn't carry it. Now, Niu Ba Wan has been made into portable bags and can be taken home!

I also ran into a dating conference. Young girls and young men gathered together to find their destined partner.

Fold a paper airplane and let it fly across the sky. Who picked whom? Is there any connection with fate in these simple words?

I think this is the time to see whether the handwriting is good or not and whether the connotation is enough! Therefore, although it is the electronic age, the necessary cultural cultivation cannot be left behind!

There are also several places worth visiting near the ancient town.

I drove to Dazhang Village, Changfeng Town.

The name Evergreen feels poetic to it, reminding people of green bamboo forests, flowing streams, fog in the mountains, and the wind blowing through the treetops. In the village, there are all old houses from the Qing Dynasty, and it is rare to see such a large-scale and well-preserved building complex.

There are many old houses, and traces of the past are still left on the walls. Now it seems that it is not interesting.

Evergreen Town is the hometown of basketball in Zhejiang Province. It has a long history of basketball sports. From the "straw shoe basketball team" in the early years to the "one village, one team" today, in Evergreen, everyone understands and loves basketball.

This kind of fighting spirit has probably been cultivated long ago, as you can see from this production competition competition table.

A long alley runs through the village. Although the houses on both sides are old, they are very tidy. Flowers are placed in front of every house or on the windowsill.

The lovely little girl is not shy when she sees strangers and looks at us with curious eyes.

Old style tailor shop. Although the door was closed, it seemed to be possible to hear the soft sound of the sewing machine when it was stepped on.

In the well-preserved old house, clothes and quilts are hung on the bamboo pole at the door, and freshly steamed peanuts and dried bamboo shoots are hung on the bamboo plaque. The old woman next to her smiled kindly: Eat, it's very delicious!

Grab a few grains and try them. The peanuts are crisp and salty, and the diced bamboo shoots are chewy. They are good side dishes to add wine.

Such a courtyard in four directions is called "Taimen" here. Flowers, plants, tables and chairs are placed randomly, with wooden floors and doors and windows.

I am no stranger to such an old house. I was born and grew up in such a mansion since I was a child, and I have deep feelings for it. Those gray and black corrugated walls and corners are covered with spring weeds, summer drizzle, autumn leaves are accumulated, and winter melted snow water is dripping.

To me, the old house is the smell of tobacco coming from my grandfather's chimney, the fragrant caramel in my grandmother's hand, and the sound of my parents calling me to eat. It is the time and memories of my childhood.

On the old street, there is also the former site of the Ming Dynasty free school, which was generally run by the government or wealthy households in the village to teach people how to read and understand. Most of the residents of Dazhang Village have the surname Zhang, who are descendants of Zhang Heng, the No. 1 scholar in the second year of Jiayou in the Northern Song Dynasty. It has been more than 800 years since Zhang Heng's son, Hangzhou, sentenced Zhang Yunwen to settle down in Evergreen in the early Southern Song Dynasty.

In many mountain villages in Zhejiang, the writing style is actually very prosperous. Many large families adhere to the ancient motto of "farming in the clear and reading in the rain." If you are in a certain mountain village, in front of an old dark hall, and see a beautiful poem with dragons and phoenixes inscribed with Tang and Song poems, you will not be surprised at all.

Including seeing Yishu here, the same is true.

Evergreen streams and rivers crisscross, with small bridges everywhere, beautiful and comfortable. There is a tall paulownia tree at the bridge of the bridge. The flowering period has passed. It has a strong posture. At a glance, it is as moving as a painting.

There is also another hidden and beautiful scenery in Evergreen, that is, the Yellow Dan Stone Stairs, which is known as the "Little Yandang Mountain" and has an ancient mountaineering road with a total length of 4200 meters. Many people will drive here on weekends to climb the mountain and look far away.

The stone ladder belongs to the remnant of the Xianxia Mountains. The mountains are steep and the rocks are jagged. There are many waterfalls and stone ponds in the mountains. In winter, the ice hanging on the stone ladder is a major wonder.

Infinite scenery is on the dangerous peak.

Huanshan Township is located in the southwest of Fuyang District, Hangzhou City, 15 kilometers away from the seat of the district government. It is right off the Hangqian Expressway to Zhongbu Section. Huanshan is named after the village surrounded by mountains and the area is surrounded by mountains.

Zhujiawu Village in Huanshan Township hides free and good places that locals may not necessarily know about: the Memorial Hall of Hu Zhen, a master of seal carving in the Qing Dynasty, and the Hu Ancestral Hall based on filial piety. Zhejiang's rural tourism construction can be said to be second to none in the country. Surrounded by green mountains and shaded by green trees, the clean houses and villages make people want to live here and never leave again...

This museum commemorates Hu Zhen, a master of seal carving in the Zhejiang School in the Qing Dynasty. The main body is an antique building with a wooden structure. The museum contains imitation stone stones from several famous artists from Hu Zhen and Xiling, as well as collections of works by members of Xiling Seal Society and Fuchun Seal Society.

Hu Zhen was obsessed with seal carving since he was a child, and later became a teacher of Qian Song. Because of the war, he relied on selling words to survive. Although his life was bumpy, he still did not give up his pursuit of ideals and finally became a generation.

By the small bridge at the door, there is a cute little stone lion.

The Hu Clan Ancestral Hall is a typical Hui-style building, which is related to the "life experience" of the Hu Clan in Fuchun. According to the records of the Hu Clan Ancestral Hall in Fuchun,"the Hu Clan in Fuchun lived in Wuyuan all the time." The Hu Clan's ancestors were originally from Wuyuan, Jiangxi Province, and Wuyuan once belonged to Huizhou in history.

Hu's ancestral temple, also known as "Baoxuntang", was built during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty and was rebuilt during the Guangxu period. The Hu family's honest and simple family tradition and family culture have cultivated many talents such as Hu Qian, the filial son, Hu Zhen, a seal cutter, and they have become a prominent family.

The incense altar in the yard is filled with dense incense.

Shangguan Township is the hometown of rackets in China. There are hundreds of large and small rackets production and accessory companies. Every year, 100 million rackets flow from here to all parts of the world. From the bamboo badminton rackets in the early years to the current complete racket industry chain such as badminton rackets, tennis rackets, table tennis boards, and beach boards, it has taken more than 40 years to become a national gold brand.

Of course, I have to visit the famous Shangguan Racquet Industrial Park.

In the exhibition hall, there are a dazzling array of rackets and manufacturing equipment from various places.

Even the ceiling is in the shape of a grid on a unique racket.

Bright lounge.

Buy a pair of rackets and take them home to exercise!

The rackets made in Chinese mountain villages go from here to the world.

Dashansi Reservoir is named after Dashan Zen Temple. The temple was built in the Ming Dynasty, when eminent monks lived in seclusion. After hundreds of years of vicissitudes, the ancient temple still exists. However, due to time constraints, we only visited the reservoir part.

The reservoir is not large, with green mountains and bamboo forests on all sides, rippling blue waves, and the cool breeze of early summer blowing in, making it refreshing and relaxed.

From this perspective, the reservoir is actually shaped like a heart. If a couple comes here, they can sprinkle a handful of dog food!

But looking down from the sky, it's actually like this...

But this pleasant green is really eye-catching!

There are many wild strawberries on the side of the reservoir, which are the raspberries mentioned by Mr. Lu Xun in "From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Bookstore". My friends picked a lot of them. They are really sweet and delicious!

about gourmet

When you go to Longmen, of course, you have to try the famous Niuba Bowl.

The picture below shows oxtail soup, beef soup, shredded beef, and tripe in Niuba bowls.

Gluten is also a must-eat! However, this dish is called Dongwu Shuangjian. It is a combination of stinky tofu and gluten. Don't miss it if you like it.

What is the best food in mountainous areas? Of course, you have to count bamboo shoots. However, it is difficult for me to cook bamboo shoots well at home. No matter how I handle them, I always feel astringent. Therefore, if I have the opportunity to go to the mountainous areas of Zhejiang, I should hurry up and eat more. Even this container for holding vegetables is simple and lovely bamboo bamboo-shaped, which simply cannot match too well.

If you go to the evergreen Dazhang Village, I recommend a restaurant called "Huishi Canteen". Why is it called this name? Because evergreen is still an old red area!

Because the evergreen residents mainly have the surname Zhang, the main food here is "Mother Zhang's dish", which is an authentic farmhouse taste.

Don't miss the following plate of "Three Farmers 'Delicacies".

Stewed duck. The ducks are probably lightly marinated and have a special aroma. The meat quality is also different from fresh duck meat, making it especially suitable for rice.

The small fish caught in the mountain stream are fried and crispy and boneless.

about accommodations

In order to make it convenient to visit the ancient town, we chose the "Radisson Manor" at the entrance of the ancient town. After dinner in the evening, you can take a casual walk and go for a walk on the old street, which is very convenient.

The lobby space is large enough and the breakfast is good. In short, the experience is good.

The room space is not small. In each room, there is also a door on the balcony that allows you to walk outside.

If you drive by yourself, I also recommend a B & B, Evergreen Mountain Residence. Chinese garden buildings are extremely quiet in the mountains. The shop owner cooks well. If you don't stay at the hotel, it would be good to just come here for a meal.

The public space is also huge, so you can make Kung Fu tea.

There are a total of 11 rooms in the B & B. This is a suite located upstairs with a reception room and has a rustic pastoral style.

TIPS：

Green codes are available in Zhejiang. If it is Shanghai and other places next door and have their own city's green codes, it will be the same.
