Recently, and not long after it happened, Tonglu, which has its own hot search temperament, once again appeared on the hot search lists of major websites. This time, Deng Chao and Sun Li, a model couple in the tourism industry, came to Tonglu to check in this "Chinese Painting City" with "unique mountains and rivers". For a time,"bumped into Deng Chao and his wife in Tonglu" and successfully topped the hot search lists. So, this time, I followed the hot searches to check in Tonglu, who has a hot search personality, to see what amazing scenery she has.

Tonglu·Impression

Recently, there is a county town that believes that many people have been "swiped" by it. Yes, this small Jiangnan county town with its own hot search temperament has become the only city in my country to be listed on the list recently selected by National Geographic magazine for the 2021 recommended travel destination. This small Jiangnan town has registered on major websites. The hot searches of websites have attracted the attention of the world. I believe that when I say this, I already know which small Jiangnan city it is. Yes, that's right, it is located in the northwest of Zhejiang Province, located in the core area of the "Three Rivers and Two Lakes" golden tourist route. It has beautiful peaks and rivers competing in its territory, and has a "Chinese painting city"-Tonglu, which can be called "unique in the world."

"The Qiantang River reaches Tonglu, but the water is not as good as the mountains and paintings." Fuchun River is another name for the section of the Qiantang River flowing into Tonglu and Fuyang. The most beautiful section is located from Tonglu Qilililong to Jiande Meicheng. It consists of three parts: Longmen Gorge, Ziling Gorge and Zixu Gorge. It has a total length of 24 kilometers. Along the way, green mountains surround the spring river, with beautiful mountains and rivers and wonderful scenery, constituting a beautiful picture of Chinese mountains and rivers. It has also become the best interpretation of Tonglu's unique mountains and rivers. The beauty of the Little Three Gorges of the Fuchun River has been sought after since ancient times. As early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yan Ziling, a high-ranking scholar, refused the invitation of Emperor Guangwu many times because of his desire for the stunning mountains and rivers along the Fuchun River. He lived in seclusion and fished here, and left behind Yan Ziling's fishing platform, the first of the top ten historical sites in the country. There is also Huang Gongwang, the Yuan Dynasty painter we are most familiar with, who was obsessed with the early autumn scenery along the Fuchun River, who left behind the masterpiece "The Picture of Living in Fuchun Mountain".

We all know about the domestic karst cave landscape, but they are mainly located in Guangxi and Guizhou, and are rare in East China. Of course, there are also some karst cave landscapes in East China, but they are not well-known. However, the Yaolin Wonderland Scenic Area located in Tonglu, the world's best tourist destination, is a must-miss karst cave scenic area in East China. Moreover, it is also associated with the "Guilin Reed Flute Rock, Jiangle Yuhua Cave, and Beijing Shihua Cave" are also known as the "Four Famous Caves in China" and enjoy the reputation of "the crown of all caves in the country". The Yaolin Wonderland is about 1000 meters deep and has a total area of nearly 30,000 square meters. When you are in it, the cave is full of stalactites and magnificent. Against the backdrop of the lights, it shows its magical charm and truly feels the "tranquility, depth, wonder, and show" The magnificent landscape of the cave and the beautiful and magical underground world were praised by the painter Ye Qianyu as "rare in China, rare in the world."

Daqi Mountain, known in history as "the most famous mountain in the south of the Yangtze River", is an excellent place for climbing and riding in Tonglu, which has unique mountains and rivers that are "unique in the world". Daqi Mountain is located on the south bank of the Fuchun River. It has endless mountains, strange rocks, deep and quiet canyons, crystal clear green pools, gurgling streams, and majestic waterfalls. It is also famous for its "majestic, dangerous, strange, beautiful and open" and has been known as the "No. 1 Famous Mountain in Jiangnan" since ancient times. Daqishan National Forest Park, the representative of Tonglu and Qishan Mountain, the "Chinese Painting City", is a comprehensive forest park that integrates Jiangnan landscape and grassland scenery. It is also associated with Tongjun Mountain, Qili Yangfan, and Fuchun River Small Three Gorges and Yan Ziling Fishing Terrace jointly constitute the Fuchun River tourism sector.

Shen 'ao Ancient Village is located at the northern foot of Tianzigang on the south bank of Fuchun River in Tonglu County, Zhejiang Province. It is an ancient village hidden among the green mountains and clear waters in western Zhejiang. Compared with other members of the Jiangnan ancient village group, Shen 'ao Village is the largest ancient village in Tonglu, so it looks more like an ancient town. Shen 'ao Ancient Village is famous for its water system. The drainage system has been used thousands of years ago, and an 800-meter underchannel runs through the entire village. Shen 'ao Old Street has a total length of more than 200 meters, runs north-south and is about 3 meters wide. Most of the buildings on both sides are buildings in the middle and late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. They are well preserved and most of them are shops. They are still commercial centers in the nearby area. The ancient village has preserved more than 100 traditional buildings, covering an area of nearly 40,000 square meters, including more than 40 Qing Dynasty buildings. Therefore, it is known as the "first village in the Southern Song Dynasty".

food

Only food cannot be disappointed. Of course, the same goes for Tonglu. Tonglu cuisine, which belongs to the Zhejiang cuisine, is particularly prominent in terms of cuisine because it is rich in aquatic products. Although the trip this time was easy, because I didn't live in the center of the county, I couldn't find the flavor of Tonglu in the old alley. However, I will not regret it, because one of the reasons why I chose to stay at Tonglu Red Lantern Cabin Resort is that it has a restaurant-Red Lantern Restaurant. You can also taste the taste of Tonglu here, and it did not disappoint us. The dinner for the past two days is here. Not only is the taste authentic and the amount is full, but the price is also quite close to the people.

accommodation

For travel, accommodation issues are also very particular. The first thing to pay attention to is the price/performance ratio, that is, choose the hotel that is most suitable for your trip among your spending power; secondly, the location is also very important. After all, the travel time is very limited, so choose the location of the hotel. Not far from the destination of the scenic area; finally, whether there are scenery that cannot be ignored here. The itinerary for Tonglu this time was two days and one night. Relatively speaking, the time was abundant, but the distance between the scenic spots was very long, so when arranging the itinerary, the location of the hotel was very important. In the end, we chose Tonglu Red Lantern Cabin Resort, which has a superior location, moderate price, and its own scenery.

Tonglu Red Lantern Cabin Resort is located in the Red Lantern Rural Home Scenic Area. The geographical location is quite superior. It is adjacent to the Tianmu River Drifting Scenic Area and is only 2 kilometers away from the Yaolin Wonderland, the "crown of all caves in the country". Moreover, it is a tourist attraction and a resort for vacation and leisure. It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, with a quiet environment, cordial and warm environment. More than 50 cabins are simple and elegant, with earthen color and fragrance, and have a unique charm. So I chose to stay here for two nights during this trip.

Day.01

The first day of the itinerary was arranged for the Fuchun River·Yan Ziling Fishing Platform. The reason is also very simple. It was already 1:30 in the afternoon after the high-speed train arrived at Tonglu Station. It took half an hour to reach the scenic spot. Since then, there is only half a day, and it can be arranged on the Fuchun River Yan Ziling Fishing Platform. This way, the time is also abundant.

Fuchun River·Yan Ziling Fishing Platform

The proverb "There is heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below" has been widely circulated for hundreds of years. "Paradise on Earth" is still the laudatory name for Hangzhou by people at home and abroad. Connected to Hangzhou's West Lake, which is known as the "paradise on earth", and to Huangshan, Anhui Province, which is known as "Returning without looking at the mountains", a "beautiful and beautiful" Fuchun River roams among the mountains like a green streamer. This is the Fuchun River located in Tonglu, the painting city of "the most beautiful county in China".

There are endless mountains and rivers in Fuchun, and there are endless poems and paintings in Tonglu. Speaking of Tonglu, Fuchun River is definitely an inseparable attraction. It is the real scene of "Fuchun Mountain Residence" painted by Huang Gongwang, a famous Yuan Dynasty landscape painter. Fuchun River is famous for its "strange mountains and rivers, unique in the world". The Fuchun Mountain Residence Map depicts the early autumn scenery on both sides of Fuchun Mountain in Zhejiang Province. Huang Gongwang spent three or four years of time drawing the long scroll "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", which fixed the most beautiful section of the Fuchun River in eternal time and space.

Tonglu is located in the prime location of the "Three Rivers and Two Lakes" Xin 'an River, Fuchun River and Qiantang River, as well as the West Lake and Qiandao Lake. Its profound culture and quiet and beautiful scenery also make Tonglu known as the "Chinese Painting City". The Fuchun River is located in the middle reaches of the Qiantang River. The section of the Qiantang River flowing eastward from Fuyang to Tonglu is the Fuchun River. The Fuchun River is 110 kilometers long. There are not only the majestic mountains, the momentum of stones, but also the spirit of water, the beautiful color of forests, the endless green mountains and the green river intertwined to form a landscape painting with Chinese Zen flavor. Such a poetic scenery naturally requires the footsteps of literati and literati. "The best mountains and rivers in the world are, and rich spring is promoted in ancient and modern times." Wu Huan of the Yuan Dynasty used this sentence to praise the beautiful scenery of Fuchun River. "It's not the Li River, it's better than the Li River." This is today's evaluation of the Fuchun River, and they call it the three most famous river scenery tour routes in my country, along with the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and the Li River in Guilin. It has both beautiful natural scenery and rich historical allusions.

Ziling Gorge, Zixu Gorge and Longmen Gorge are collectively called the "Fuchun River Small Three Gorges". The Three Gorges of Fuchun River is the most beautiful section of Fuchun River. With a total length of 24 kilometers, the river is as green as jade and gurgling through it like green brocade. Longmen Gorge runs from Qililongkou to Yan Ziling Fishing Platform. There are high mountains and deep valleys in the Gorge. The peaks face each other. The river surface is stretched and the water flow is gentle. Ziling Gorge is the canyon with the deepest environment and the most beautiful scenery among the Fuchun River Small Three Gorges, and the longest tourist route. Two mountains rise from the water in the Gorge, and the cliffs on both sides are steep. Zixu Gorge has a total length of 8 kilometers from Zixu Ferry to Sanjiangkou. It is named after Wu Zixu ferried here to escape during the Spring and Autumn Period. The rivers here are deep and tortuous, with ancient trees on the mountains tall and straight, and green bamboos are withered. The mountains create love for the water, and the water is beautiful because of the mountains.

There are green mountains and clear waters on both sides of the Fuchun River. Wandering in this naturally constructed world is enough to feel the metaphor of "If you want to visit the Small Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, you don't need to go to the Yangtze River." Putting aside the historical and cultural heritage, and judging from the beautiful scenery and charm of Fuchun River, the water quality here is particularly clear. Taking a boat down the river has the artistic conception of "walking to a place where the water is poor and sitting and watching the clouds rise". The two sides of the river are green and verdant, and the air is intoxicating. It is like a person swimming in a painting. When boats travel on the river, there is a poetic meaning of "walking in a mirror, and birds in a screen."

With the mountains and rivers of Fuchun, which are "exclusive to the southeast", it has also attracted many literati and literati to write many magnificent poems. Wu Jun, a litterateur of the Southern Dynasties, once praised Fuchun River in "Book with Zhu Yuansi":"More than a hundred miles from Fuyang to Tonglu, there are strange mountains and rivers, and the world is unique." As the first of the top ten "fishing platforms" historical sites in the country, Yan Ziling fishing platforms are one of the main scenic spots in Fuchun River and a place where literati and literati nostalgic throughout the past dynasties. Many cultural celebrities such as Li Bai, Su Shi, Lu You, Fan Zhongyan, Meng Haoran, Li Qingzhao, Zhu Xi, Kang Youwei, Yu Dafu, Zhang Daqian, Guo Moruo, Ba Jin, etc. have all been to the fishing platform, describing the magnificent poems of Fuchun River and Yan Ziling's fishing platform, leaving many excellent poems and poems.

Looking back at that time, Huang Gongwang, one of the four great artists in the Yuan Dynasty, lived in seclusion in Fuchun and spent several years drawing a "Map of Living in Fuchun Mountain". This famous historical work has experienced many vicissitudes and was almost turned into ashes as a sacrificial object for the rich. Today, this painting, which has been burned into two parts, is hidden in museums in mainland China and Taiwan. The beautiful mountains and rivers complement each other with the bright cultural monuments. You can not only feel the influence of history and culture, but also appreciate the thousand-year-old landscape. If you have leisure time, you can also hold a green bamboo pole and fish in the Fuchun River to feel Yan Ziling's retreat. The state of mind of farming and fishing in Fuchun River.

Day.02

This time, Tonglu check-in time was relatively loose, with a full day. The itinerary arrangement was also quite easy, so the next day's itinerary was arranged for an extra day. In the morning, check-in is known as "the crown of all caves in the country". In the afternoon, the Yaolin Wonderland, known as the "crown of all caves in the country", and in the afternoon, Daqi Mountain, known as the "No. 1 Famous Mountain in Jiangnan", is just right!

The crown of all caves in the country·Yaolin Wonderland

In East China of my country, there is such a small county town. It is the "most beautiful county town" in the hearts of the people, the "express delivery empire" that shocked foreign friends, and the world recognized as the "international garden city". It has picturesque scenery of mountains and rivers and Poetic artistic conception, it is Fan Zhongyan's "Charming Tonglu". The beautiful scenery of Tonglu has been famous since ancient times and is often mentioned in the works of many poets, such as Yan Ziling Fishing Terrace, Fuchun River Small Three Gorges, etc. Among them, there is a must-visit check-in attraction for tourists. It is the legendary amusement place of immortals. It is the "Wonderland","Penglai Island" and "Peach Blossom Land" written by the poet. The old versions of "Journey to the West" and "Fengshen List" have all taken scenes here. It is the Yaolin Wonderland known as the "crown of all caves in the country".

We know that the formation of karst caves is the result of long-term dissolution of groundwater in limestone areas. In my country, karst landforms are the most widely distributed, but they are mainly distributed in Chongqing, Guizhou, Yunnan and other provinces, but they are actually not distributed much in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. For example, Zhijin Cave, Furong Cave, Shuanghhe Cave, etc., which are famous at home and abroad, most of them come from the southwest of my country. However, in fact, Tonglu, Zhejiang, which is famous for its beautiful mountains and rivers, may have been specially favored by nature, which has resulted in more than 20 limestone caves in this small county, and is even called the "Cave Kingdom". Among the many caves of varying sizes and shapes, the most famous one is Yaolin Cave, which is often referred to as the "Yaolin Wonderland".

"Wonderland is separated from the dust, and the pot is a heaven and earth." Yaolin Wonderland is located in Yaolin Town, Tonglu County, Zhejiang Province. It is a typical karst cave scenic spot. Together with Guilin Reed Flute Rock, Jiangle Yuhua Cave, and Beijing Shihua Cave, it is also called the "Four Famous Caves in China." The entire cave is deeply underground, with a depth of about 1000 meters and a total area of nearly 30,000 square meters. The terrain inside the cave is unique, the stone landscape is magnificent, magical and illusory, and the weather is myriad and beautiful. It is a typical example of karst caves in the subtropical humid area of the central coast of East China. Representative, praised by painter Ye Qianyu as "rare in China, rare in the world." It is one of the "Top 40 Tourist Attractions in China" and "Top Ten Tourist Attractions in Zhejiang Province", and is also a national 4A scenic spot.

Relevant data shows that the Yaolin area was only a shallow sea hundreds of millions of years ago. Later, with the long years of progress and many orogenic activities such as the Variscan and the Himalayas, the current landform was formed. Yaolin Wonderland is famous for its tortuous cave landforms and magnificent stone landscapes. It is like a colorful and glorious underground art palace, which makes people intoxicated. As early as the Song Dynasty, poet Ke Yuezhai compared it to a fairyland. In the "Tonglu County Annals" of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it was recorded as a place for gods and immortals to travel and enjoy.

Yaolin Wonderland contains seven cave halls of different sizes, each of which has shocking unparalleled beauty, such as the "Milky Way Flying Waterfall" in the first cave hall, the "Sky Jade Pillar" in the second cave hall, and the "33 Heavens" in the third cave hall are all rare and can be called miracles, making people sigh at the magical creation and extraordinary craftsmanship of nature.

In addition to the exquisite, fantasy and colorful landscape that attracts infinite imagination, there is also a dream myth experience platform arranged by modern high-tech sound and light technology in Yaolin Wonderland. In addition, many cultural relics and relics are also found here, such as the ashes of the Zhou Dynasty, pottery pieces of the Han Dynasty, ancient coins from the Five Dynasties and the Northern Song Dynasty, and cliff inscriptions from multiple dynasties. These all further demonstrate the profound heritage of Yaolin Wonderland and make it more cultural charm. In recent years, under the planned and principled rational development and construction of the local government, the Yaolin Wonderland has become better and better, both in terms of the original appearance inside the cave and the ecological environment outside the cave. I believe that more and more tourists will be in the future. I am willing to go here just to see its legendary style.

Daqi Mountain, the largest famous mountain in Jiangnan

Speaking of the mountains and rivers of the south of the Yangtze River, what we think of most is the clear, shallow and beautiful artistic conception of poetry and painting. The green mountains are green and the clear water is strange. As Su Shi described it,"The water is shining and clear, and the mountains are strange when it is clear and rainy." When it comes to the scenery of the grassland, what comes to our minds is the northern part of the desert and the smoke, with boundless horizons and majestic scenery, just as Yang Wanli said in his poem,"The boundless green is supported by sheep grazing, and a horse flies in the sky." However, during this trip to Zhejiang, I had unexpected gains. That was because I discovered a "leisure paradise" in Tonglu,"the most beautiful county town in China", which is popular for its picturesque mountains and rivers. It has both the softness of the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River and the roughness of the Saibei grassland. Although it is a small group, it is undoubtedly an excellent place to relax and return to nature. It is Tonglu Daqishan National Forest Park.

"The Qiantang River reaches Tonglu, but the water is not as good as the mountains and paintings." Speaking of Tonglu, Zhejiang, many people will associate it with the beautiful and open Fuchun River. It has beautiful charm and unique scenery, which has attracted the fascination and praise of countless literati and literati throughout the ages. However, in fact, Tonglu is an "international garden city" surrounded by mountains and beautiful waters. There are still many familiar scenic spots, such as Yan Ziling Fishing Terrace, Yaolin Wonderland, Tianmu River Drifting, Shen 'ao Ancient Village, etc. In contrast, although Daqi Mountain located on the south bank of Fuchun is not so famous, it is a comprehensive tourist attraction that integrates north and south scenery, ancient and modern humanities, and modern technology. Here, you can not only climb mountains and play in the water, watch waterfalls and admire flowers, and feel the gifts from nature, but also go camping and vacations, explore the past and explore the secluded world, and enjoy the comfort and tranquility.

Daqi Mountain is known as the "No. 1 Famous Mountain in Jiangnan" in history. Although it is not as majestic as it is adjacent to Guanyinjian, nor is it as profound as Tongjun Mountain, it has a superior geographical location and excellent scenery for climbing the Range Rover. Beautiful scenery. Daqi Mountain carries a fog and mud hill and faces the Fuchun River. There is a mountain peak extending abruptly on the left and right. It looks like a lotus throne from a distance. Therefore, it is also called "Zhaiji Mountain", which means a place to set up camps. Climbing high and looking into the distance, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful water of Tonglu, with small bridges and flowing water, and the Jiangnan scenery of Pinghu and green fields.

Of course, since it is a national-level forest park, the most beautiful scenery is of course the natural landscape with forest resources as the main body. Daqi Mountain has an excellent ecological environment and beautiful scenery in all seasons. It is famous for its majestic, dangerous, strange, beautiful and open nature. The mountain has peaks, deep canyons, gurgling streams and waterfalls, and dense forests. The green bamboo forest, the deep and flowing Tianchi Lake, coupled with the strange pines and rocks, and flowing springs and waterfalls dotted among the mountains, are shrouded in the mist and mist at night, giving a more ethereal feeling.

Daqi Mountain has a forest coverage rate of 97%. It is a veritable "natural oxygen bar" and an excellent place for surrounding citizens and tourists to relax and escape the heat. Tourists can not only appreciate the magnificent mountains and rivers of Daqi Mountain, but also explore legendary historical sites and places of interest. Jinniu Pond at the foot of the mountain is said to be a pond used for bathing in Jinniu on which Fuchun River was excavated. On the west side of Jinniu Tan Scenic Area, yurts surrounded by green bamboos and pine trees are scattered, allowing you to experience the infinite grassland scenery without going to the northern part of the Saibei.

Although only the ruins of Daqi Zen Temple, which was rebuilt during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, it is said that the Bodhisattva on Daqi Mountain is very effective. I am afraid this is what people often call "Buddha in the heart." There is a spring water on the top of the mountain. According to the stele records, it is an inexhaustible holy spring that has been carefully eliminated. The water quality is sweet, clear and refreshing. It is perfect for cooking Kudingcha, which is abundant in Daqi Mountain. In addition, there is also a modern expansion base with complete facilities in the scenic area. Tourists can experience thrilling rides such as climbing cableways, crossing cable bridges, flying over the jungle, and playing real-life CS. They can also stroll in the pebble-paved and fruity fruit. In the overflowing fruit forest, feel the pastoral scenery of birds singing and flowers.

Day.03

Because I had to return on the afternoon of the third day, and there was and only one direct high-speed train for my return journey, I chose to arrange the last morning's trip in the esoteric ancient village, known as the "No. 1 Village in the Southern Song Dynasty". It is less than half an hour away from the Tonglu High-speed Railway Station, so the trip was quite easy. You could check in the esoteric ancient village completely and experience the ancient charm of "the most beautiful ancient village in Zhejiang"!

The No. 1 Village of the Southern Song Dynasty·Shen Yuan Ancient Village

Speaking of ancient village scenic spots with profound cultural deposits, distinctive architectural characteristics, and high-quality scenery and customs, I am afraid that the first thing that many people think of is the ancient villages in southern Anhui. Among them, Hongcun and Xidi, the most representative ones, are included in the World Cultural Heritage List. In fact, in addition to the ancient villages in southern Anhui, there is also an ancient village in Jiangnan in Tonglu, Zhejiang. It is a complex of material and intangible cultural heritage. It consists of five ancient villages with unique styles arranged one word along a stream called Yingjiaxi. On closer inspection, the village pattern since the Ming and Qing Dynasties is generally maintained. Today, let's walk into Shen 'ao Village, the largest and most famous ancient villages in Jiangnan, to see what beauty is about this "Most Beautiful Ancient Village in Zhejiang"!

"The bluestone winding path is far away from the platform, and the clear water and the canal are deep. The old things still exist and the appearance is simple, but the old style has not changed for thousands of years." Shen 'ao Ancient Village is located at the northern foot of Tianzigang on the south bank of Fuchun River in Tonglu County, Zhejiang Province. It is an ancient village hidden among the green mountains and clear waters in western Zhejiang. Compared with other members of the Jiangnan ancient village group, Shen 'ao Village is the largest ancient village in Tonglu, so it looks more like an ancient town. The ancient village was formed by blood relatives and is a typical clan settlement. Therefore, most of the residents in the village have a compound surname Shentu, and of course, a few residents with other surnames are included. As early as the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, the ancestors of the Shentu family moved in from Shentu Mountain, Fuyang. After nearly a thousand years of reproduction, cultivation, study, and family inheritance, the Shentu family in Shen 'ao Village, which has a prosperous population today.

We know that the most distinctive thing about Hongcun in Anhui is its scientific and reasonable "ox-shaped village-style" water system structure design. In this regard, Shen 'ao Village and Hongcun are similar. It is said that in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, where floods occur frequently, the ancient town of Shen 'ao has never been damaged by floods, thanks to the most unique water system design in the village. This water system consists of undercanals, open ditches, karez, ponds, streams, etc. It is somewhat similar to the planned water system of modern cities and towns. It is mainly used to collect rainwater and discharge wastewater. At that time, when Shentu's ancestors planned village construction, they first planned it. To this day, this underground water system, which originated in the Song Dynasty and was formed in the Ming Dynasty, is still providing convenience for the daily lives of villagers. Because local people are accustomed to calling the culverts "Ao", which is usually hidden underground, Shen 'ao Ancient Village is also named after it.

Shen 'ao Ancient Village, built in the Southern Song Dynasty, is the most famous Jiangnan ancient village in Tonglu. It is also a famous historical and cultural village in China. It is known as "the first well in Jiangnan and the first village in the Southern Song Dynasty". It is not far from Tonglu County, surrounded by lush mountains and beautiful scenery. In addition to the unique mountains and rivers in the world, the ancient village's unique underground water system, huge ancient buildings, and rich Zong culture are all attractions that cannot be missed.

There are currently more than 200 ancient buildings dating back to the Republic of China in the village, which are crude and beautiful on the outside and beautifully carved on the inside. Among them, more than 40 buildings were built during the Ming and Qing Dynasties and are still well preserved. This is rare. The mottled old walls, the ancient alleys paved with pebbles, the scattered horse-head walls, and the Kanars all over every corner of the village... make Shen 'ao Village look so different, with such ancient charm. Elegance and heavy.

In Shen 'ao Ancient Village, there is no crowded place like Wuzhen and Xitang, but only the tranquility and innocence of the local area. You can walk in the rainy ancient alleys and old streets, reminiscing about the past, or you can enjoy the light clouds and breeze in the warm afternoon sun. Of course, you can also go to the ancestral temple Yi Hall to understand the time that has long been solidified into a painting. You can also go to the "Yunxi Shenao Li" to feel the ubiquitous feelings of petty bourgeoisie...

End Tonglu, see you next time on hot searches

Not long ago, because Deng Chao and Sun Li, who are known as a model couple in the entertainment industry, checked into Tonglu's popular attractions, at the same time, the topic of "meeting Deng Chao and Sun Li in Tonglu" also hit the hot search list, and Tonglu, with its own hot search temperament, once again overtook the screen! Walking among the mountains and rivers of Tonglu, which has its own hot search constitution, one of the most encountered is ancient poems chanting its mountains and rivers. It has strange mountains and rivers that can be called "unique in the world" and has been selected by National Geographic magazine in the United States. It is the recommended preferred travel destination in 2021 and the only city in my country to be on the list in this selection. This time, I followed the hot searches to Tonglu. Next time, we will see you on the hot searches in Tonglu!
