In 2020, the first half of the year was chaotic, while the second half was busy. In the blink of an eye, winter had already passed, and inadvertently, it was approaching the end of the year.

The osmanthus outside the window had already shed all its autumn colors a month ago, and now it can't even retain its leaves.

The most unforgettable thing in the world is that Zhu Yan expresses her admiration for the mirror, flowers, and trees.

Why don't you go out for a walk before the weather turns completely cold? It's not too far, just in Huzhou.

North of Zhejiang, south of the Taihu Lake Lake, half of the history of Chinese painting and calligraphy is in Huzhou.

The founding of Huzhou can be traced back to more than 2300 years ago, and the name "Huzhou" first appeared in the ninth year of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. It is the only city in the south of the Yangtze River around the the Taihu Lake Lake area named after the lake, and its original name is also very good: Zizang City was built by Huang Xie, the ruler of Chunshen, in the fifteenth year of King Kaolie of Chu.

This land of elegance and elegance has nurtured countless creatures, including Meng Jiao, Zhao Mengfu, and Wu Changshuo, as well as the "Two Bombs and One Satellite" heroes Qian Sanqiang, Zhao Jiuzhang, and Tu Shoue.

At the same time, the long and rich history has also nurtured a brilliant cultural heritage. Huzhou is the birthplace of the "Hubi", the head of the four treasures of the study. The tea sage Lu Yu lived here for more than 30 years and also buried the latter half of his life here.

The Qian Sanyang Site, located in Wuxing District, has also discovered the world's oldest silk fabric to date, and the Qian Sanyang Cultural Site has been evaluated as the "Source of World Silk".

In Miaoshan Village, Wuxing District, the first giraffe estate in China has recently been opened.

scheduling:

day1: Giraffe Manor - Clothes Street - Sheraton Hotel (food and accommodation)

Day 2: Yigao Scenic Area - Qianshanyang Cultural Exchange Center

Giraffe Manor

Previously, the world's first giraffe estate was located in these cute, oh no, big cute hometowns of Kenya on the African savannah.

As a world-class check-in attraction, Kenya's Giraffe Manor not only costs a high price of 4000 yuan per night, but even if booked a year in advance, it is difficult to get a ticket.

In the midst of the global pandemic, there is no need to travel to Africa. Nowadays, you can have zero distance contact with these big men on the grasslands right at your doorstep.

- Ma Ma?
Sigh.
Why are there two chirps on the head of a giraffe?
That's the WIFI at the zoo.

You can buy a carrot from the giraffe administrator, which is a good idea for giraffes.

If you are afraid of being bitten by a greedy giraffe, you can also hang carrots on a bamboo pole and feed them.

If you are lucky, you can still receive a kiss from a cute big eyed creature.

The Giraffe Manor in Huzhou, although not as vast and magnificent as the African grasslands, has over 1200 acres of emerald green bamboo sea and continuous mountains.

There are not only giraffes in the estate, but also areas such as bird wetland park, bamboo forest leap expansion, cute pet tribe, and single family wooden houses. The cute pet tribe is active with cute elves such as talking macaques, cute raccoons, peacocks, groundhogs, kangaroos, and toucans.

What a cute thing with just a drop of water.

There are also 43 standalone villas in the park, which can be located next to the estate and giraffes, and you can also have breakfast with them.

Just like the restaurant at African Giraffe Manor, you eat breakfast in the morning light, and these cute big guys will put their heads through the window to greet you.

Take good care of your breakfast, these cute creatures will also stick their heads out and steal food, it's so fun.

Yishang Street

There is an iconic old street in Huzhou called Yishang Street.

The history of Yishang Street can be traced back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. At that time, Huzhou was also called Wuxing County. Sun Hao, the last emperor of Wu, took it from the meaning of "the prosperity of Eastern Wu", which is also the origin of Wuxing District today.

During the Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, Huzhou underwent constant changes between Wuxing County, Huzhou Road, and Huzhou Prefecture, while Yishang Street remained the main commercial street in Huzhou.

From Zhouzhiqian Street to Shijie, and then to Fuqian Street and Xiaoshi Street, this ancient commercial street has witnessed the ups and downs of Huzhou. In the mid Qing Dynasty, this ancient street was lined with clothing shops, hence its name "Yishang Street".

After the Northern Expedition, the estimated clothing store gradually withdrew from the history of Huzhou, but Yishang Street remained the busiest commercial center in Huzhou in the past.

The entrance is in the bustling city, originally thought to be a small and heavily commercial so-called ancient street, but after walking in, I found that the alleys were intertwined, getting deeper and quieter.

Inns, shops, historical sites, fluttering wine flags in the wind, and the traditional Jiangnan style of small bridges, flowing water, and households.

Jiangnan is beautiful, and the scenery is once familiar.

Several famous restaurants in Huzhou coexist on the streets, with very affordable prices.

For lunch, I chose Ding Lianfang, a century old restaurant in Huzhou, which specializes in traditional Huzhou snacks - thousand steamed buns.

Qianzhang Baozi is one of the most famous traditional cuisines in Huzhou, and it is also their family's first creation. It has been rated as a "Chinese time-honored brand" and "Chinese famous snack", and is a local flavor that wandering Huzhou cannot forget. It has been featured in special topics by Chinese Cuisine and Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao.

Eat and drink enough, and slowly stroll along the ancient street.

If you haven't had the pleasure of browsing yet, why not go to the Wang Yi Pin Zhai Pen Shop, which has a history of over 260 years, and choose a lake pen.

The signboard of Wangyipinzhai Pen Shop is inscribed by Guo Moruo. Founded in the sixth year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, it is the oldest professional pen shop in China that produces and operates lake pens. It specializes in the top four treasures of the study, lake pens, and is also recognized as a "Chinese time-honored brand" by the state.

Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel

There is a "ninth bay in the world" on the south bank of the vast 800 li the Taihu Lake Lake.

The landmark of this vast sea like South the Taihu Lake Lake is Sheraton Huzhou, the first seven star water hotel in China.

Under the boundless darkness, Sheraton Huzhou stands like a full moon on the south bank of the Taihu Lake Lake, adding a bit of beauty to the bright night of Huzhou.

The shape of the the Taihu Lake Lake Moon is the first in the world and the only one in China. It has obtained the national patent certificate for design.

Yigao Scenic Area

In ancient times, the south bank of the Taihu Lake Lake was low-lying and covered with marshes, which would flood in rainy seasons, and the residents along the lake were deeply disturbed by it.

In order to prevent floods, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the ancestors excavated the the Taihu Lake Lake Lougang on the bank of the lake.

Lougang in the Taihu Lake Lake flows from east to west, north to south, and is as dense and orderly as a comb. The north-south vertical direction is "Pu", "Lou", and "Gang", while the east-west horizontal direction is "Tang".

The Tangpu (Lougang) polder field system invented by the ancients turned the original marshes on the lake bank into fertile soil for thousands of miles, and turned the the Taihu Lake Lake coast into the largest granary in China.

As the saying goes, "Su Lake is ripe, and the world is full.".

The village of fish and rice, the network of water, the green and ten thousand mulberry trees on both banks, and the rice culture, fish culture and silk culture promoted by the polder fields in Tangpu constitute the endless scenery of the Lougang cultural belt on the south bank of the Taihu Lake Lake.

The Taihu Lake Lake 36 Lous, a scenic spot in the south of the Yangtze River, is a land of plenty.

And Yigao, this ancient village that was born from Lou and prospered from Hong Kong, has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

Traveling along the riverbank of Yigao Ancient Village, the mottled blue stone alleyway is lined with willows and flowing streams

Qianshanyang Cultural Exchange Center

The ancient village of Lucun, 7 kilometers south of Wuxing District, has an extremely important milestone in the history of Chinese silk.

Silk, a silk product originating from the ancient East, has been the most famous textile in the world since Zhang Qian of the Western Han Dynasty crossed the vast deserts and wilderness of the Western Regions and Central Asia from Chang'an, crossed the Pamir Plateau, and reached the countries of West Asia and the Mediterranean along the Silk Road. It has also become the most sought after luxury item in the upper class of Western society.

At that time, the ancient Roman Empire even legislated to prohibit men from wearing silk clothes to prevent the outflow of gold, but to no avail.

Silk is generally considered the most beautiful gift bestowed upon China by heaven. These beautiful textiles were transported from the land Silk Road and the sea Silk Road to the whole world, bringing a large amount of wealth to the ancient East.

So the question arises, where did silk originate?

Once upon a time, I even thought that the myth and legend of the Yellow Emperor's wife Leizu raising silkworms and reeling silk was true.

At the beginning of the last century, a scholar from the Republic of China, Mr. Shen Weizhi, discovered the Qianshanyang site in Lucun, Huzhou. In 1956 and 1958 after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhejiang experts discovered uncarbonized domestic silk fabrics in the site, extending the history of silk to 4200-4400 years ago, and using examples to prove that China is the birthplace of silk culture.

Qianshanyang Site is recognized by the state as the "source of the world's silk". This ancient cultural site also fills the gap between Liangzhu Culture and Maqiao Culture in the area around the Taihu Lake Lake in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the late new era.
