Impressions of Deqing

What comes to mind when it comes to the mountain and water towns in Zhejiang? Is it the picturesque scenery of the West Lake, surrounded by smoke and willows? Or is it the Qiandao Lake with its unique blue water? Is it Yandang Mountain with picturesque scenery? Or Mount Putuo, the holy land of the South China Sea? Is it the famous Wuzhen? Or Xitang? There are many ancient towns with mountains and rivers in Zhejiang. Among the many landscapes, there are always some that will gradually be forgotten by people, such as the picturesque Xinshi Ancient Town in Jiangnan, the primitive and wild Xiazhu Lake in Jiangnan Water Town, and the picturesque Moganshan. Although they are not often mentioned, they always retain the unique beauty of Jiangnan Mountain and Water Town. They are the pride of Deqing County. We know a lot about Deqing's pride, but we rarely know about it, even though it is one of the top 100 counties in China and the hometown of China's first satellite named after a county. It is known as the "scenic spot of famous mountains, the land of fish and rice, the land of silk, the land of bamboo and tea, and the land of culture.".

"People have virtues, like water reaching its peak." - Deqing County is located in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. With a long history and a rich cultural heritage, it is known as the "scenic spot of famous mountains, the land of fish and rice, the mansion of silk, the land of bamboo and tea, and the land of culture.". Here is one of China's four major summer resorts, Mogan Mountain, a national 4A level tourist attraction, the most beautiful and humid underground lake in China, and the new city and ancient town full of Jiangnan style. This is the hometown of China's first satellite named after a county, Deqing 1. It is one of the top 100 industrial counties in China, one of the top 100 comprehensive strength counties in the country, and one of the top 100 science and technology innovation counties and cities in China.

When you come to Deqing, you must go to the underground Zhuhu Lake where the harbor is intertwined and the reeds are scattered. Among the wild bird groups, the "giant panda" Crested Ibis inhabits by boat. To taste the special tea drinking method of "one bitterness, two sweetness, and three aftertastes" formed by the people of Deqing according to their own living habits, Xiazhu Lake offers three types of tea. To go and see the poet's depiction of Mogan Mountain, where "the scattered towers rise to high hills, half covered by smoke and half hidden by trees, with hundreds of springs and waterfalls flying, and the surrounding mountains bathed in tranquil bamboo.". I want to go and see a small town called Xinshi Ancient Town, built by the river and surrounded by a bridge, full of Jiangnan style. Try authentic Deqing cuisine, including Xiazhu Lake fish soup rice, Xinshi yellow wine lamb, tea cake, malt cake, Deqing New Year pig rice, Mogan Lake drunken fish, and more.

Many people say that Deqing is a modern county without much historical and cultural heritage, which is because you haven't delved deeply into the city. When you approach the ancient town of Xinshi, with a history of over 1200 years and the construction of a water town full of Zhejiang and Soviet characteristics, you will not only see the river channels connected to the network in the town, but also the water streets interdependent, creating a water town with a strong Jiangnan water town atmosphere. Far from the bustling city and lacking a strong commercial atmosphere, Juehai Temple, a millennium old temple that began in the Yuanhe era of Tang Xianzong, has famous ancient bridges such as Taiping Bridge and Zhuangyuan Bridge, as well as famous local delicacies such as Xinshi sauce lamb, crispy duck noodles, tea cakes, and various other pastries. It has also become the filming location for the opening of the 2015 CCTV Sheep Year Spring Festival Gala. The details here record the thousand year history of the ancient town and are a microcosm of the historical development of Deqing.

Moganshan, one of the four major summer resorts in China, is located in the center of the beautiful and prosperous Golden Triangle of Shanghai, Ningbo, and Hangzhou - Deqing County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. When it comes to Mogan Mountain, it can be said that it is well-known in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai regions. It is not only a national AAAA level tourist attraction, national scenic spot, and national forest park, but also known for its picturesque and magnificent scenery. The famous "three scenic spots" of bamboo, spring, and cloud, as well as the "four excellent" of clear, green, cool, and quiet, are the main characteristics of its scenic area, known as the "first mountain in Jiangnan". In addition to its scenic spots, Mogan Mountain also boasts a rich cultural landscape. Numerous historical figures have left behind countless poems and inscriptions here. The more than 200 celebrity villas hidden in the deep mountains and lush forests have various forms, each showcasing its beauty and being arranged in a staggered manner, representing the architectural styles of more than ten countries including the United States, Britain, France, Japan, Russia, etc., making Mogan Mountain known as the "World Architecture Museum".

Deqing is a county town that is full of surprises. Among the many beautiful scenery in Zhejiang, it is rarely mentioned. However, in her arms, the river flows into the network, and the water streets are intertwined. The millennium old town of Xinshi Ancient Town, which is rich in the charm of Jiangnan water towns, and one of the birthplaces of Liangzhu culture with a 5000 year civilization history, Xiazhu Lake. With the beautiful and charming Mogan Mountain, the beauty and surprises of Deqing are far more than what is written in the pen, and there are more beauty and surprises waiting for you to discover.

CCTV Spring Festival Gala filming location: Xinshi Ancient Town

This is a small town built by the river, surrounded by a bridge, and full of Jiangnan style. Not far from it are the famous Wuzhen and Xitang. She is not as lively as the already thunderous Wuzhen and Xitang. She is like a deep boudoir girl, not well-known to the world. "By the willow trees on both sides of the river, one can enter the boat as soon as they come out. There is not a perfect place, but every window and every household is clear and beautiful." Even the poet Yang Wanli's portrayal of her is fresh and beautiful, and she is content with the situation. She is a forgotten ancient town in the Jiangnan water town - Xinshi Ancient Town.

Xinshi Ancient Town is located in Deqing County, Zhejiang Province, with a history of over 1200 years. The construction of the town is full of Zhejiang and Soviet characteristics. The river channels in the town are connected to the network, and the water streets are interdependent, creating a strong Jiangnan water town atmosphere. The small town does not require tickets, is far from the bustling city, and lacks a strong commercial atmosphere. Here is the millennium old temple Juehai Temple, which dates back to the tenth year of the Yuanhe reign of Emperor Xianzong of Tang Dynasty. There are famous ancient bridges such as Taiping Bridge and Zhuangyuan Bridge, as well as famous local delicacies such as Xinshi sauce lamb, crispy duck noodles, tea cakes, and various other pastries.

Xinshi, formerly known as Landshi and formerly known as Xiantan, was flooded in the summer of the second year of Yongjia in Jin Dynasty. The entire Landshi was submerged, and a hero led the people on a long migration journey. In the end, they arrived at a place with a network of rivers, misty deserts, and reeds. They are farming and weaving here, giving birth to children. In memory of the former land market, they renamed this place as Xinshi.

Xinshi Ancient Town is a quiet and peaceful millennium old town. The long wooden corridor, secluded alleys, and ancient alleys along the river have no gathering of merchants or bustling streets. In the morning, there aren't many tourists here, and the people in the ancient town are leisurely drinking morning tea; In the afternoon, there were gradually more tourists, and there were no noisy cries, just the indifferent listening to the flowing water of the small bridge; At night, with the lights on, there is no noisy music or toasting, it is a leisurely journey back to a thousand years ago. This new city and ancient town, which has a history of thousands of years, was not filled with lights, wine, and greenery in the era of paper and gold coins. Instead, it continued to maintain its initial tranquility and peace.

The historical and cultural heritage of Xinshi Ancient Town is rich. It is the origin of the largest water transportation dock on the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal, one of the birthplaces of the ancient Silk Road in China, and an important commodity distribution center on the side of the Grand Canal in northern Zhejiang. Located at the intersection of the canal and the Tiao River, it can be called an ancient wonder and a beautiful water town. In the long river of history, with the gradual decline of water transportation, the ancient town of Xinshi has lost its former prosperity, leaving behind well preserved ancient bridges, corridors, bluestone roads, and ancient buildings, as well as a rich historical and cultural heritage. It is precisely this rich historical and cultural heritage that made Xinshi Ancient Town the first scene of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 2015. Overnight, Xinshi Ancient Town became a well-known water town in Jiangnan.

Xinshi is a famous ancient town in the northern Zhejiang region, where silkworm culture has been accumulated for thousands of years. The Shanghai Film Studio produced China's first sericulture themed film "Silkworm Flower Girl" in 1963. The film tells the story of a girl from Silkworm Township who wants to become an actor but is careless in raising silkworms. Influenced by her sister-in-law, she decides to become a silkworm flower girl who loves the countryside. The prototype of this story is a real story that takes place in the ancient town of Xinshi.

There is a unique folk custom in Xinshi Ancient Town. During the Qingming Festival every year, the ancient town holds the "Silkworm Flower Temple Fair". Legend has it that the local sericulture farmers in the ancient town worship the "Silkworm God" and pray for a bountiful harvest of silkworms to commemorate Xishi. A folk traditional celebration activity formed spontaneously during the Qingming Festival. Every year at this time, sericulture farmers gather around the ancient temples of Juehai Temple, Siqian Street, Siqian Lane, Yanzhi Lane, and Beijie to pray for a bountiful harvest. After the temple fair, people start spring plowing and sericulture.

This millennium old town, although adjacent to famous Wuzhen and Xitang, has never been concealed in its beauty. It is a famous historical and cultural town in China, and the origin of the largest water transportation dock on the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal. The small bridges and flowing water here, with an ancient charm, have always preserved the original appearance of the Jiangnan water town. This forgotten Jiangnan water town - Xinshi Ancient Town - is being discovered by more and more people.

The Most Beautiful Wetland in China - Xiazhu Lake

She is known as the most beautiful wetland in China, the wild soybean of the "giant panda" among plants, and the habitat of the "giant panda" Crested Ibis among birds. Here, wild birds inhabit the area, and aquatic animals and plants are everywhere. It still boasts the natural and rustic Jiangnan water town style. "The land is cracked and windproof, and the sky opens to the Zhuhu Lake. Three mountains and floating water trees, thousands of alleys are lined with wild reeds. The village is home to human activities, and there are pictures of fishing and woodcutting hermits. Smoke waves and small boats, a solitary moon.". Hong Sheng's five character regulated poem vividly outlines her unique beauty. She is one of the 50 most worth visiting scenic spots in Zhejiang Province and the best ecological leisure tourism destination in China - Xiazhu Lake.

Xiazhu Lake is located in the southeast of Deqing County, Zhejiang Province. It is called Fengzhu Lake or Fengzhu Lake because it is said to be the residence of the Fangfeng clan; Also known as Mute Lake due to its homophonic sound with "mute". The area is approximately 36.08 square kilometers, with a water area of 3.4 square kilometers and a central lake of 1.26 square kilometers. More than 600 islands are scattered on the surface of the Xiazhu Lake National Wetland Park, with over 1000 intertwined bays and over 800 species of flora and fauna thriving here, including the bird species "giant panda" Crested Ibis and the giant panda "wild soybean" among the plants.

The origin of Xiazhu Lake is also related to a very interesting story. It is said that there was no lake in Xiazhu Lake before, and there were three wealthy households, "Xia, Zhu, and Hu", living here. They were wealthy, and the head of the Xia family's urinal was made of gold. Although they were wealthy, they still wanted to oppress the poor people. Even the Xia family maids couldn't bear to see it. When cleaning the urinal, they said to the Golden Dragon, "Golden Dragon, other dragons are free and easy, but you have a bad fate. You are a stinky dragon.". One day after lunch, the maid was working in the kitchen when a little dog named Wang Wang came and picked up the maid's golden shovel before running away. The maid was afraid of losing the shovel and would be punished, so she chased after her until Wang Wang stopped on the far hillside from the village. However, while picking up the shovel, the maid found that the entire village at the foot of the mountain was flooded by the lake, including the "Xia, Zhu, and Hu" families. Later on, people called this lake Xiazhu Lake. As time passed, people gradually forgot about the three families of Xiazhu Lake that used to live here, so they called it Xiazhu Lake.

The tour of Xiazhu Lake is mainly by boat, and boating on the lake has a unique charm, just as the poet wrote, "The spring bamboo is wide across the sky, the spring breeze is fragrant on the shore. Flying flowers cross the water quickly, and willows grow towards people." Here, the harbor is intertwined, and reeds grow in patches. Wild birds often inhabit the reeds, and groups of waterfowl can be seen everywhere. Egrets and sand gulls make Xiazhu Lake more natural and simple.

The most intact natural wetland in its original state, Xiazhu Lake, is home to more than 160 species of rare wild birds and poultry, including more than 20 species under national protection. Only the second level protected wild bird, the egret, has a population of over 10000. On every island of Xiazhu Lake, every swamp, and every patch of water and grass, there are bird figures. Living in Xiazhu Lake, known as the "Oriental Jewel", "Auspicious Bird", and "World's Most Beloved Bird", it is one of China's four national treasures along with the giant panda, golden monkey, and antelope. It is also known as the "giant panda" - Crested Ibis among China's bird species. Due to environmental degradation and other factors, the population of Crested Ibis in China has sharply declined, becoming a high-risk and endangered population in the world. In order to rebuild the population of Crested Ibis in Zhejiang, a remote protection and population reconstruction base for Crested Ibis has been established in Xiazhu Lake National Wetland Park. There are now over 300 Crested Ibis in Xiazhu Lake.

When you come to Xiazhu Lake, you must not miss the three courses of tea in Xiazhu Lake. Xiazhu Lake pays tribute to tea, and tea is the way to go. The three courses of tea in Xiazhu Lake, an ancient and simple etiquette for welcoming guests, have a history of thousands of years. The first course of tea is sweet tea. In a bowl, add glutinous rice and white sugar, and then decorate it with roses. The color, aroma, and taste are both excellent. The second type of tea is salted tea, roasted bean tea, and the most distinctive "Fengshen tea" in Xiazhu Lake. Salted edamame beans are roasted over charcoal fire to form moderately salty roasted beans, then sliced orange peels and orange peels are added, salted, and then brewed with tea leaves, perilla seeds, dried radish, sesame, and goji berries. The third type of tea is clear tea, produced in Mogan Huangya, Mogan Mountain Area, and has now been registered as a national "protected trademark of origin".

Xiazhu Lake is one of the birthplaces of Liangzhu Culture, which has a civilization history of five thousand years. It was also awarded the title of "China's Most Beautiful Wetland" in the "Search for the Most Beautiful Wetland in China" selection activity jointly initiated by People's Daily, China Economic Weekly, and Wetland International China Office in 2011. For thousands of years, everything has been constantly changing, but Xiazhu Lake has always preserved its primitive and simple nature.

Xiazhu Lake, selected as the "most beautiful wetland in China", does not exaggerate its beauty at all. Here, it has its unique beauty throughout the year. In spring, a hundred flowers bloom and over 160 species of birds live here, making it a true "hundred birds singing together"; In the scorching summer, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, with a fragrant fragrance that fills the nose. "The green lotus covers the green water, and the hibiscus is covered in fresh red" is a true portrayal of this place. In autumn, the entire wetland is filled with swaying reeds, some of which are taller than one person. They shuttle through the reed marshes like entering a "water maze"; After winter, everything returned to tranquility, with auspicious snow indicating a bountiful year, quietly waiting for the arrival of spring.

National Civilized Village · Sanlin Village

If we were to say what was the hottest topic in the first half of this year, it is estimated that 80% of netizens can guess it. Yes, it's almost on the hot search page every day and on the headlines of major mainstream media - garbage classification. Shanghai, as the first city in China to pilot garbage classification, was the first to bear the brunt. Shanghai citizens were in a panic about this sudden garbage classification, and even became a laughing stock for the whole country. Fortunately, Shanghai citizens have strong adaptability, and with the cooperation of relevant departments, they quickly got on the right track. Garbage sorting is no longer a hasty process, but an orderly one. With the gradual popularization of garbage classification, many cities in China have also begun to implement garbage classification. However, currently, garbage classification is implemented in first tier cities, while other cities are gradually following suit. In Deqing County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, there is a village called Sanlin Village. It responded to the call for garbage classification in a timely manner, implemented garbage classification very well, and developed the first garbage classification research route in Zhejiang Province, transforming a once famous impoverished village into a national civilized village.

Sanlin Village is located in the northwest of Yuyue Town, Deqing County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. The actual age of Sanlin Village is actually only nine years old. Before 2010, Sanlin Village did not exist. It was formed by the merger of Sanlai Village and Maolin Village into a new village - Sanlin Village, which has only been nine years since then. I got off the car and walked into Sanlin Village. In front of me was my ideal appearance of Guiyuan Tianju. I had no idea that such a beautiful countryside used to be a famous impoverished village. The roads between Sanlai Village and Maolin Village were muddy, inconvenient to travel, with incomplete supporting facilities and a dirty and disorderly environment. The villagers relied on planting and sericulture for their income, with an average annual income of only a few thousand yuan per person.

In recent years, through continuous efforts from various aspects and mutual cooperation among villagers, Sanlin Village, which was merged with Maolin Village, has carried out land leveling, reclamation, and transfer with great strides. The transformed Sanlin Village has transformed from a poverty-stricken village that originally relied on planting and sericulture to a fine water town model village with prosperous industries, livable ecology, civilized rural customs, effective governance, and prosperous living. In November 2017, it was honored as a National Civilized Village in the 5th National Civilized Village and Town Competition.

Sanlin Village has not only lifted itself from the hat of poverty, but also put on a brand new hat of "ecological livability". The villagers of Sanlin Village know how to cherish this hard-earned new life. They practice all the policies and guidelines that are beneficial to the construction of a beautiful home, especially when the environment is convenient. They start from small things, start from themselves, and drive the whole family and family together to create an ecological and livable home. They have successfully removed the hat of poverty and backwardness and put on the hat of ecological livability.

When I walked into the village, I was completely shocked. There was no garbage dump in the village, and there was no garbage scattered on the roadside or in the grass. Instead, there were eye-catching garbage sorting slogans and promotional illustrations everywhere, as well as the constantly used garbage sorting exchange stations, garbage sorting bins, and so on. Walking into the courtyard of a household, I was even more amazed. They had dozens of pots of fresh flowers, but the flower pots were damaged and difficult to decompose plastic buckets. The clever owner used them as flower pots and planted fragrant flowers, which not only beautified the environment but also saved energy and environmental protection.

In order to better implement garbage classification, Sanlin Village has built the first park in Zhejiang Province with the theme of garbage classification and the first garbage classification learning route. By combining the rigid textbook style garbage classification with centralized education and fun game check-in and clearance, a garbage classification learning course has been established. This enables all people who participate in this learning route to comprehensively and quickly understand garbage classification and learn garbage classification, and to better do garbage classification in their future lives.

The biggest change in the village was the originally overgrown river with weeds and silt accumulation. After dredging and a series of treatments, it became a new and ecologically superior river. Strolling along the newly built hiking trail, the water quality of the river is clear and rippling with blue waves. Egrets hover over the river, and the green trees on both sides of the river create a natural and ecological pastoral scenery. Sanlin Village, which originally had unique natural resources, has undergone a transformation and the ecological environment has been restored well. The egrets that once thrived here have returned in batches and continue to inhabit and reproduce here.

Sanlin Village is like a mirror, allowing everyone who comes here to find their original intention in the mirror. Here, you can see the beautiful transformation of Sanlin Village. Once a poor village, it has now transformed into an "Egret Water Town · International Slow Village" that integrates four parks: Wanniaoyuan, Qiansiyuan, Baiguoyuan, and Shijingyuan. Through this mirror, we can also see our original intention and elevate our own inner selves. No matter how unbearable and unsuccessful one may have been in the past, as long as one dares to change and is diligent in making up for their shortcomings, it is not too late to make up for them. Who would remember that Sanlin Village, which has now achieved a beautiful transformation into a national civilized village, was once a famous impoverished village?

Moganshan, the first mountain in Jiangnan

The picturesque scenery is undoubtedly the back garden of Shanghai and Hangzhou people - Mogan Mountain, with its towering towers, half covered by smoke and half hidden by trees, and hundreds of springs and waterfalls flying around. In the Zhejiang region, there are more than one mountains with bamboo sea, creek spring, and cloud sea, but why can Mogan Mountain escape and enjoy the reputation of being the "number one mountain in Jiangnan"?

Moganshan is located in Deqing County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, at the center of the beautiful and prosperous Golden Triangle of Shanghai, Ningbo, and Hangzhou. It is a national AAAA level tourist attraction, national scenic spot, and national forest park. Mogan Mountain is characterized by its picturesque and magnificent scenery, with the world-renowned "Three Wonders" of bamboo, spring, and clouds, as well as the "Four Excellence" of clarity, greenery, coolness, and tranquility. Spring, summer, and autumn, all seasons have their own scenery; 24 hours a day, every hour has its unique scenery. Watching the sunrise and sunset in the morning, and the sea of clouds at dusk. In spring, one admires the lush bamboo trees and the fragrant orchids. In summer, one sees the lush bamboo trees covering the mountains and the clear springs flowing in competition. In autumn, one admires the maple forest like fire and the fragrant osmanthus. In winter, one sees the silver wrapped and the qionghua blooming all over the sky.

Mogan Mountain is a picturesque and picturesque mountain with a pleasant climate. The bamboo forest covers an area of 137 square kilometers, making it one of the largest bamboo seas in the country. With a forest coverage rate of over 92%, it forms a natural health layer. The average temperature in summer is only 24 ℃, earning it the reputation of a "cool world". Along with Beidaihe, Lushan, and Jigongshan, it is known as one of the "four major summer resorts" in China. Every summer, when major cities across the country enter the "barbecue" mode, the most beloved summer resort for people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai is Moganshan. Being in it feels like entering a natural air conditioning system, comfortable and cool, making one feel refreshed and happy.

The Mogan Mountain, with its beautiful and enchanting scenery, is picturesque and full of scenery. As the "first victory in the mountains," the sword pond boasts roaring waterfalls and diverse movements. It is said that in the late Spring and Autumn period, King Helu of Wu ordered his generals and Mo Xie to forge a world-renowned male and female sword, and Mo Gan Mountain was named after it. Gu Wang Wu Tai, according to legend, was the place where Mo Xie and his wife forged swords in the mountains, longing for their hometown and gazing at the hometown of Wu from afar. Yinling Pool is said to be "where the tomb of King Wu is located, there are treasures". The koi in the pool are swimming freely and colorful. The carved beams and painted rafters in the hall beside the pool are antique. The Xuguang Terrace is the best place to observe the sunrise and appreciate the mountain scenery on Mogan Mountain. It offers picturesque scenery and reminisces about the fleeting years.

Di Cui Tan is a mountain spring that slopes down from the cliff during the rainy season, forming a shape of water droplets, hence its name Mingzhu Waterfall. It is named after the famous calligrapher Qian Juntao who wrote the character "Cui", which is the largest character in the Jiangnan region. Luhuadang is the largest artificial garden in the mountains and one of the best "summer bays" in the mountains. Among them, Hepecke Spring is the crown of famous springs in Mogan Mountain. According to local chronicles, "there is a flowing spring on the ground, clear and sweet, and it has been proven by Western medicine to be free of microorganisms. Even if consumed cold, there may be no diseases of rivers and fish.". Tashan Yunding has an altitude of 719.8 meters and is located on the main peak of Mogan Mountain. It has an octagonal pavilion, which allows for a high and distant view of the mountains, water, and clouds.

In addition to its scenic spots, Moganshan also boasts a rich cultural landscape. Numerous historical figures have left behind countless poems, inscriptions, and anecdotes here. In addition to Zhao Mengfu, Mao Zedong, Chen Yi, Guo Moruo, and others, there are over 200 famous villas hidden in the deep mountains and lush forests, each showcasing its beauty, arranged in a unique and exquisite manner, either exquisite and elegant, or simple and steady. Some stand at the top of mountain peaks, while others are located by the stream and spring, blending seamlessly with the beauty of Mogan Mountain. More than 200 villas come in various shapes, representing the architectural styles of more than ten countries, including the United States, Britain, France, Japan, and Russia, making Mogan Mountain known as the "World Museum of Architecture".

The beautiful natural landscape and unique cultural heritage of Mogan Mountain have brought abundant tourism resources. It is the birthplace of domestic homestay culture, and the earliest homestay in China originated from Mogan Mountain. Each homestay retains its original and natural style, yet has a unique and creative connotation. Pushing the window to see the mountain, the bamboo shadow sways, the flowing spring gurgles, the birds chirp and cicadas chirp, and chickens and dogs hear each other. This scene has become the birthplace of "Yangjiale" in Moganshan, achieving innovation and development in homestay culture.

Although Mogan Mountain is not as towering as Mount Taishan Mountain, nor as steep as Huashan Mountain, nor as magnificent as Mount Huangshan Mountain, it is known as the most beautiful mountain in the south of the Yangtze River because of its bamboo groves, dreamlike sea of clouds, crystal clear springs, rows of villas, and charming scenery in different seasons. Therefore, it enjoys the reputation of "the first mountain in the south of the Yangtze River".

Yucun, the most dreamy cultural district

The picturesque and picturesque Mogan Mountain, the "number one mountain in Jiangnan", has become a must-have choice for nearby vacation destinations in Hangzhou in recent years. On the inevitable road to Moganshan, people with urgent emotions seem to be attracted to a quiet and beautiful town, which is Yucun. Just like "soy sauce is not oil, Xinshi is not a city", Yucun is not a natural village, but a small mountain town with a thousand years of historical heritage, and is a national AAAA level scenic spot. Before this, who could have known that this used to be a abandoned factory building, a small mountain town forgotten by history due to years of disrepair? Just like dreams, not all beauty will come true, but only by working hard can dreams shine into reality. Yucun is a place that was once abandoned by dreams, but later rediscovered, and dreams once again shine into reality, transforming from abandoned factories into the most dreamy cultural district.

The great poet Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem, "Yu Xin's writings are old and more mature, and Ling Yun's writing is full of meaning." In the poem, "Yu Xin" was a great literary scholar during the Northern and Southern Dynasties period. According to historical records, the Yu surname in Yu Village was Yu Xin's family, and a branch of the Yu family once lived here, giving Yu Village its name. The first Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China, Huang Fu, once lived in seclusion with his wife here and spent a lot of energy on rural transformation of Yu Village. Nowadays, the eleven buildings in the center of Yucun are mostly abandoned factories left behind by Huang Fu's establishment of a silkworm breeding farm here.

"As soon as I see the corridor of the silkworm breeding farm, I am attracted to it." Huang Fu left behind many abandoned factories in Yucun, which have been in disrepair for a long time. With the changes of the times, the entire small mountain town has also been forgotten by history. In recent years, after a series of renovations and innovations, Yucun has returned to life from a forgotten and abandoned factory town, and overnight became the most distinctive cultural district. At the beginning, the Taiwan Qingjing team, with dreams of rural construction and community renovation, went to the mainland and coincidentally met the Yucun Silkworm Farm in Moganshan. They seemed to have discovered a treasure, and after a series of renovations, they transformed their dreams into reality, giving birth to a cultural district of dreams.

Strolling through the old streets of Yucun, one can always find some traces of time in this small mountain town with a thousand years of historical heritage. Looking at these architectural styles and patterns from the 1930s, they are simple and introverted. However, the theme restaurants with fashionable elements, small and exquisite wine houses, and coffee shops with diverse styles are full of modern atmosphere. It is more secluded than the city, more worldly and rich than the mountains and wilderness, low-key yet not lacking charm. History and modernity, East and West, blend together in this small town yet exude their own charm, appearing harmonious and unique.

As the gateway of Moganshan, in order to keep people away from the hustle and bustle of the city, avoid the worldly extravagance, and pursue peace and satisfaction of the heart, it keeps pace with the times and innovates, giving birth to a simple and pure cultural market with rural reconstruction as its dream. As the birthplace of domestic homestay culture, Yucun is based on the "Yangjiale" industry, integrating tourism and cultural resources to form two major characteristics of Shanghai style culture and Western leisure culture. It actively promotes the construction of cultural and creative collections, enriches the cultural connotation of scenic spots, integrates folk customs into rural scenery, and realizes a leisure vacation mode that integrates people and nature. In addition, the development of outdoor sports and vacation industry and sightseeing agriculture, as well as a series of creative image designs, etc., Yucun has formed a characteristic scenic spot that gathers various formats such as cultural and creative, homestays, catering, vacation, and outdoor sports.

A homestay with a solitary lifestyle, an exquisite and elegant coffee shop, a uniquely designed kiln baked bread, and a retro creative bicycle themed restaurant... No matter what kind of person you are, you can find your own character and life in Yucun. The transformation and development of Yucun will become the most important rural pivot in the urban-rural interaction circle connecting Shanghai and Hangzhou, promoting the sustained and diverse regeneration of rural life, industry, and culture. Yucun, this ideal future town, provides a reason for the local rural people to stay, as well as a new destination for those living in the city. It also makes more people believe that as long as they work hard, their dreams will eventually come true.

The Most Complete Content · Geographic Information Technology Museum

On November 21, 2018, the first three-day United Nations World Geographic Information Conference opened in Deqing Geographic Information Town, Zhejiang. The hosting of this World Geographic Information Conference has also successfully made Deqing the focus of world attention. In order to better serve this conference and showcase the image of Deqing, Deqing cooperated with various departments and made significant contributions to the conference. As an important supporting project of the conference, the Deqing Geographic Information Technology Museum was opened to guests during the United Nations World Geographic Information Conference. After the conference, the venue remained unchanged and opened to all sectors of society, continuing to showcase the strength of Deqing and even China's geographic information technology development to the world.

I have heard before that the first United Nations World Geographic Information Conference was held in a geographic information town in Deqing County, Zhejiang Province. However, since I have not been here before, I am not very familiar with it. I happened to have the opportunity to come to Deqing and decided to visit the Deqing Geographic Information Technology Museum to comprehensively understand the knowledge of geographic information systems and experience the beautiful life brought by geographic information.

The Geographic Information Technology Museum is located in the Geographic Information Industry Park of Moganshan National High tech Zone, Deqing County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. The entire exhibition hall is divided into two floors, with a display area of approximately 7200 square meters, and cost over 100 million yuan to build.

Entering the Geographic Information Technology Museum feels like wandering in the ocean of knowledge. The six major venues contain endless treasure troves of knowledge, waiting for every visitor to explore and open them. From the display of ancient instruments such as the Geographic Information Guide Car, Sinan, and Compass thousands of years ago, to the modern development of high-tech geography, the popularization of drones, unmanned driving, remote sensing satellites, positioning and navigation, the Geographic Information Technology Museum comprehensively and professionally showcases the step-by-step development history of geographic information technology in the world.

Here, we can not only see technology products and services that are closely related to our daily lives, such as map navigation, taxi hailing software, takeout, etc., which are deeply rooted in our daily lives. In major urban construction and geographic engineering, geographic information technology is ubiquitous. It is indispensable for the world's highest peak, Mount Everest, Antarctica and the Arctic, and the bottomless ocean. The recently opened Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge also relies on the support of geographic information technology. This trip to the Geographic Information Technology Museum has made me truly understand how geographic information technology makes our lives better.
