On the first day of junior high school, depart from Hangzhou in the afternoon and arrive in 1.5 hours. After dinner, visit the ancient town at night. There are two large rabbit lights at the entrance of the main gate, which are not as dignified as old-fashioned flower lights, and their cartoon designs appear quite playful. The light rain, as fine as cow hair, occasionally drifted by, carefully supporting my mother as she stepped on the blue slate. At night, the ancient town is bustling and bustling. In the daytime, as I cross several stone bridges, my mother looks at the street shops on the roadside, reminiscing about travel memories and purchased items. The garden of Xiaolianzhuang, the dance hall combining Chinese and Western styles, the high walls of the Sixiang family... the wooden bucket for soaking feet, the Su embroidery fan... I feel inferior. Keep an eye on the coffee bar near the entrance, which has large french window windows. I want to bring my old father who has trouble with his legs to sit down tomorrow.
In the second year of junior high school, having a good breakfast and drizzling rain, the biological clock of the younger generation all comes with a breakfast free mode. The three meals a day are: Chinese, dinner, and late night snacks. If you have to correct it, it's just asking for trouble. If the best education during adolescence is to "shut up", the best way to interact with adult children is to "see through" and "be self satisfied.". My sister-in-law was making an appointment to go to the ancient town, and they were hesitating whether to take their elders with them. My parents were very interested, so I became the driver and yelled at the bus driver to leave as soon as they said. After getting off the car, the sister-in-law headed for a deep tour of the ancient town's streets. The three of us had no intention of walking far away and headed straight for the coffee bar "Only One" that we had seen last night. The name always made people want to say it in reverse. After entering the gate and crossing the small bridge, we are the first table guests. On the second floor, we sit by the window, daydreaming, chatting, and overlooking the bustling streets and small rivers where boats and boats come and go.
Watching the owl standing on the edge of the boat with a majestic demeanor, a small boat carrying either a full warehouse or three to five leisurely tourists swaying by; The family carrying the old man bustled over the bridge, admiring the many filial children; The tour guide holding yellow and blue flags occasionally filled the entire riverside path with a large number of people of all ages. The coffee is good. Mom's American style with fructose syrup is very fragrant, while my old man's oat latte and milk flavored latte are warm and delicate. The regional planning and management of Nanxun is quite forward-looking, with impressive prices and ample parking areas. It only costs 5 yuan for the first 2 hours of charging. The prices of noodles and coffee in the scenic area have slightly increased, which is also reasonable.
In the third year of junior high school, it is rare to wake up naturally after sleeping until 8 o'clock. The sun is shining brightly, and the middle-aged and elderly group takes collective action. Before 9 o'clock, the parking lot at the main entrance is no longer accessible, and the elderly need to be put down at the entrance. Drivers park their cars in the parking lot facing them before walking over. Elderly people who can walk can go to slightly farther places such as Zhang's old house and Liu's staircase. Those who cannot walk continue to enter the door, cross the bridge, climb up to the second floor seat of "Only One", and each person needs their own Chinese tea and coffee. From time to time, relatives returning from tiredness bring back freshly steamed sweet scented osmanthus cakes and other Dim sum for everyone to taste. The lengthening table is a large long table, which is a combination of coffee tables. They raise their glasses and change their cups. They have a good talk and have fun.
The large floor to ceiling glass immerses the entire family in the sunlight. Watch the colorful and lively atmosphere of the ancient town, and feel the fireworks in this world.
On the fourth day of the lunar calendar, we woke up naturally. The east was white and the weather was cold, so we didn't dare to take the old man out. They drove to the ancient town. The rabbit lamp in front of the memorial archway was still on. The pool water at the entrance is frozen, and the empty entrance is silent.
Stepping on stone slabs and bricks, looking at the reflection of the arch bridge, brushing the carved window pavilions, crossing the eaves of the corridor and arches, lingering on beautiful women
In the clean streets and alleys, early morning shopkeepers occasionally open a door panel, and the noodle shop next to the intersection of Shuangqiao is already steaming hot. They ordered a bowl of signature double poured noodles, which are two types of toppings: one is crispy meat and the other is fried fish. I was struggling with what fried fish was, but before I could even open my mouth, the boss explained that it was crispy fish (smoked fish), with a slightly sweet taste in the salty taste. It was my favorite flavor, and the noodles were fine noodles, which the gentleman liked.
After 8 o'clock, the scenic spots will open and visitors can enter the courtyard of wealthy merchants' residences. The former residence of Zhang's family, with clusters of red lanterns measuring the high walls and a courtyard as large as a square, has rooms as spacious as a large flat floor. The widened pillars in the hall tell the story of the owner's past glory.
When you come to Nanxun, you will see the combination of Chinese and Western buildings. When you walk into the courtyard of the carved beams and painted rafters, you will see the western style glass doors and windows. When you walk into the room with the western style floor tile fireplace, you will see the Chinese style rockery and pavilions.
The Liu's Staircase is not only decorated with Western tiles, glass, and other decorations in Chinese architecture, but also with Western style courtyards. If the buildings in Xiamen University are "wearing suits and hats," these courtyards are like "wearing skirt braces inside a qipao.".
The colors not only include the blue bricks and white walls of Chinese architecture, but also the dazzling colors of Western architecture. The orange exterior walls of the small buildings are very unique in the ancient town.
Chinese people value low profile and humility. "Xiaolian Village" is modest, and even a ten acre lotus pond cannot match the small characters. However, it is named "Xiaolian Village" because its owner admires the Yuan Dynasty calligrapher and painter Zhao Mengfu's Lotus Village in Huzhou.
Although the pond is filled with residual lotus and stands tall in the cold wind, the sight of endless blue lotus leaves in the summer sky must be very spectacular.
Surrounding the buildings and pavilions by the lotus pond, winding paths lead to tranquility, changing scenery and showcasing the ingenuity of craftsmen everywhere.
The Jiaye Library not only has buildings, but also large ponds, rockeries, and grasslands in front of the building. The wisdom of the ancients, who not only learned, did not forget to exercise and protect their eyes, and the wisdom of their ancestors cannot be ignored.
Before 9 o'clock, as the number of tourists slowly increased, the administrator set up a fence to divert the crowd. The passing tour guide shouted, and the 99th Regiment followed closely... The crowds of people rushed in and quickly evacuated when they saw the situation. The temperature is still very low, not suitable for the elderly to go out. The sunshine fills the hotel room, accompanied by the warm air conditioning, and we accompany the elderly to chat around the stove.
I woke up naturally during my lunch break, with bright sunshine but still very low temperature. The strong wind hindered the idea of taking the elderly out. I wanted to go to the scenic area and buy some pastries that my father recognized. The old man was very picky and had tasted his favorite flavor, so I couldn't make do with anything else. Starting from the hotel, enter a street in the Jiangnan water town from Shiyuan Road, see a small river, and then walk eastward along the river. After the ticket is free, the checkpoints and fences have been removed, and the ancient town is well connected. Walking navigation may not necessarily plan the nearest route, but the streets in the residential area are connected to scenic pedestrian streets, changing the scenery and walking into alleys or crossing bridges to meet you. On the small path outside the scenic area, there were scattered waves of overflowing crowds that could not be squeezed in. In the distance, people could be seen all over the arch bridge, walking against the current. Looking at the street from the alley, they finally saw the legendary crowds, so they retreated and took the road back to their hometown. One is that it's impossible to squeeze in at all, and the other is that it takes a long time to queue up at the destination. On the way back, passing by a street in the water town of Jiangnan, there was a shop making traditional Nanxun pastries. The owner calmly and leisurely made them, and the scenery was also there. It was tempting, and the food was delicious but sold at a low price.
On the fifth day of the lunar new year, still getting up early, the rising sun painted a layer of golden border along the roof.
Drive to the Baijianlou residential complex. This was built by Dong Fen, the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, for female family servants. It features a pipa style fire sealing mountain wall, a three tiered horse head wall, and a variety of arcade buildings. Some have beautiful women leaning against them, while others have round arched doors. Every household has a small water pavilion at their doorstep that can be washed and viewed.
The water pavilion leans against the railing and is beautiful. To see the towering ancient residential community, most of the courtyards along the street have been developed into homestays.
If tourists have a hurried itinerary, they usually only choose the former residences of famous people such as Xiaolianzhuang. This area is less noisy and is a place where they can quietly enjoy the scenery.
The distance between the water surface and the street is very close, even the reflection of the courtyard in the river appears much more peaceful.
My camera never captures the beauty that my eyes see, so I try to look at it as much as possible while admiring it. This day is about to return home, afraid that the old man will be anxious to return home and won't dare to stay for a long time. If he is greedy again, he will cherish it endlessly.
Nanxun, an ancient town that still wants to come back.
