Preface

The four seasons in Jiangnan are always so distinct. When you are still calm in the scorching summer sun, perhaps an autumn rain will take you into autumn. Compared to the beauty of spring, Jiangnan in autumn is even more light and peaceful, with a unique and desolate temperament that always deeply captivates people

On this day when the autumn breeze is rising, my family and I have all decided to seize the beauty of this season - go on an autumn trip, drive to Yangcheng Lake to experience a Halloween party, participate in a Hanfu Festival in Xitang Ancient Town, stop in the busy life, and enjoy a moment of small happiness

Hello everyone, I am your old friend: Shen Xiaoxian Children's Shoes,

I like to travel around with my own footsteps. If there is one thing worth persisting in, it is traveling.

There are some roads that can't be reached by wearing high-heeled shoes, some air that can't be smelled by perfume, some people that can't be seen in the office forever, those lonely, proud and beautiful people who have never been to the world, those fantastic and charming passions, you never know that there are still various beautiful sceneries on this planet

If you like my text and photos, please follow me. If you have any travel guides, I am willing to answer and share them with you. The graphics and text are original, and please do not reproduce them in any form without permission. The copyright belongs to the author.

[World of Movies, Halloween Carnival]

In my impression, Yangcheng Lake is a great place to eat hairy crabs. The seasonal crabs are big and plump, and taking a sip can captivate people. Even the air is filled with the sweet smell of crabs and vinegar. This time, we are not here to eat crabs, but to visit the "story king" in this amusement park - Huayi Brothers Movie World. There are 34 interactive entertainment projects, and everyone is a movie "celebrity": Hollywood Skyscraper, Empire Immersive Script Kill, D7 Youth League Star Meeting... The fun level is no less than Disney.

There are three tourist centers in the scenic area, located on the left side of the Starry Square, the right side of the Starry Avenue after entering the park, and the left side of the East Gate before entering the park. It is strongly recommended to take photos of the main entrance of the scenic area when night falls. When the lights are on, it is very brilliant, like a castle.

There are five themed areas in the scenic area: Starlight Avenue, If You Are the One, Gathering Number, Tai Chi, and Tongtian Empire. In addition, there is a Yangcheng Baby specially designed for parent-child interaction, each with a unique style. You have dreamed of traveling through time and space, exploring the universe, and climbing eaves and walls in movies... Here, you can experience immersive gameplay and never get tired of playing all day long. Remember to bring a guide map at the entrance after entering the park~

The Star Avenue district is the first stop to enter the world of cinema, densely packed with fashionable neighborhoods and magnificent buildings of movie pilgrimages from all over the world, as if walking into New York City in the 1990s, and many photo taking and check-in destinations.

The colorful buildings on both sides of the road are eye-catching. The Film Academy is a film career experience center and also a future star cultivation base for Huayi Brothers. Here, you can learn and experience a series of film shooting and production processes such as makeup, costumes and props, digital scenery, etc., which are particularly professional. You can also change into clothes and participate in script killing.

Walk further and you'll arrive at the movie workshop. Do you want to know how celebrities make movies? Do you want to know how the magical effects behind the scenes in movies are made?

Don't miss the movie workshop, which showcases 16 movie special effects exhibition items such as movie sets, master studios, special effects makeup, and special effects shots. The interactive experience is full of technology and simple fun, revealing the secrets behind the scenes of movies.

At the corner, I saw a whole wall of celebrity handprints, which caught the attention of many people. In an instant, I found the names of many familiar directors and actors printed on it.

Many interactive experience scenes even evoke memories from those movie clips, bringing a camera to fulfill a movie dream for oneself

The If You Are the One area adjacent to Yangcheng Lake, with the theme of the movie "If You Are the One" series, is filled with Japanese romance everywhere. Walking here, the Hokkaido style that comes to mind is as if even the air is filled with a sweet taste!

There are many amusement activities here, such as bumper cars, skydiving towers, carousels, etc. Among them, bungee jumping is the most exciting activity in the scenic area. Jumping from the lighthouse on the high point where you can reach the cape, Chaoyang Chenghu can give you a feeling of rebirth. Perhaps love is like this, risking your life and following you to the death!

The carousel on the side is a favorite place for many girls. Sitting on it, it feels like the girl's heart is full. Accompanied by light music, the carousel slowly starts, bringing a magnificent and dreamy enjoyment.

There are many photography holy sites in the scenic area. In the flower sea by the lake, there is also a blue slanted church where you can feel the oath of love with your loved ones.

The If You Are the One area is really a suitable area for love, and the romantic cabin full of fairy tale colors has become a holy land for many young ladies to take photos. The sunlight shines down, and the air is filled with a sweet taste

After walking through the If You Are the One area, you arrive at the highly distinctive assembly horn area. The actors can be fully armed, sound the assembly horn, and travel to the war-torn era in minutes

In this "city" of the 1940s and 1950s, every corner reproduces the heart wrenching spirit of the iron blooded army and revolutionary sentiment in the movie, making people feel passionate as soon as they step into it. Master Liao's concave design is so stylish!

The most unforgettable experience in this region is the world's first VR rail riding experience project. Sitting inside a dynamic rail car, using virtual digital images to recreate the brutal battlefield, feeling the tension on the front line of life and death. When the assembly horn rings, we shoulder the steel gun together and defend our country!

Playing indoor VR well allows you to experience outdoor amusement projects - air raid warning, sudden sound of air defense alarms, enemy planes launching another airstrike, and our pilots piloting fighter jets taking off to defend the city's airspace, which is extremely exciting.

Don't miss out on the new recruit training camp for passionate young people who love sports. Climbing outdoor activities that test your physical fitness, men, women, and children all take the field, it's time to showcase your true skills!

After experiencing the baptism of gunfire and bullets, let's experience the unique style of the 1940s and 1950s. Here, not only are there retro and nostalgic department stores, but also fresh and interesting game rooms. Little brothers, ladies, and sisters who like to take photos can change into Republican costumes at Dingchang Photo Studio and walk into the plot in minutes

And our time is limited. In order to play more projects, we hastily took a few tourist photos and set off for the next destination. However, we sincerely recommend this as a photography destination and it's worth taking more time.

Moving to the Tai Chi district, this is another place where we can't stop playing. Under the intense collision of Tai Chi Kung Fu and steampunk, it showcases a different late Qing style. Theme parks naturally cannot do without roller coasters. The roller coaster here is called Tianweiyi. Riding this suspended whirlwind roller coaster soaring into the sky, we can only hear the continuous screams in the air, and every pore is full of tension and excitement

Suddenly falling in an unexpected place, the speed is so fast that you feel the sound of the wind in your ears. The speed is seventy miles, and your mood is free

What do you think is inside this big Troy? In fact, this is an environmental special effects theater that uses a series of innovative technological means to allow everyone to follow this mechanical monster and embark on an exciting and thrilling journey.

What's not to be missed in the Tai Chi district is also the real-life performance of eccentric adventurers, including Tai Chi Kung Fu, mechanical props, aerial special effects, and flood outbreaks... The scenes from the movie instantly come to your attention, making you unable to stop!

The entire performance comprehensively presented the story of how Yang Luchan, a martial arts genius, became a great master and saved Chenjiagou from foreigners. The plot was compact, and the martial arts skills were superb, reproducing the exciting scene of Yang Luchan's confrontation with the Qing army in the movie. The kung fu stunt show brought us a different experience of the passionate Qing Dynasty.

The last stop came to the Tongtian Empire Area, which was created based on the director Tsui Hark's Dee Renjie film series as the IP. It was the most stunning theme area in my opinion, perfectly presenting the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty!

This area has a towering 75 meter floating pagoda, which is spectacular and stunning. There are also attractions such as the Wanxiang Temple and the underground ghost market, as well as amusement projects. Here, you can change into clothes and travel to the Tang Dynasty capital, transforming into the people of Luoyang to assist Duke Di in solving the case and witness Empress Wu's ascension to the throne.

In addition to amusement projects such as jumping machines and pirate ships, there is also a script killing game in this area, which is particularly interesting. After entering the park, players who want to play need to first make an appointment for a spot, then go to the film academy to change into costumes suitable for their characters and wait for the moment of entry.

Unexpectedly, the actors in the world of movies are particularly professional, taking us into the scenes of "Di Renjie: Chang'an Crisis" every minute. This is a challenge of intelligence, courage, physical strength, and even luck, everything will become the key to solving the case, requiring the joint efforts of our teammates.

The entire script will last for about an hour and go through many interesting scenes, ranging from the Shangyao Bureau, Shangshu Bureau, Dali Temple where officials often appear... to the Nanshi, Wushudian, and Dyeing Mill where merchants and ordinary people gather... Along the way, you will encounter prison leaders, servants, prisoners, and Lord Di, all of whom are the key to solving the case. You must pay attention to the clues in order to defeat the enemy and win.

As night falls, the world of movies is conquered by dark forces, with "monsters, extraterrestrial guests, and witches" coming out one after another. The carnival is full of strange, mysterious, and enchanting screams, heroes and demons, knights and ghosts, princesses and witches, pumpkin lanterns and skeletons everywhere, and the atmosphere of Halloween is full

At 8 o'clock, the most anticipated "Phantom Carnival Parade" in the entire park began. The float was accompanied by psychedelic music, and the demon clan appeared one by one. The mystical light and shadow, the dynamic disco, and all the ghosts and monsters of all sizes were released, and the sky was filled with excitement

Whether you are a movie enthusiast, an amusement park enthusiast, or a thrill seeking gamer, you may encounter a wonderful life of your own here.

Xitang Ancient Town, Scenery of Jiangnan

Time has passed for thousands of years, and Xitang is still as slow and leisurely as it was thousands of years ago

The city's high-rise buildings rise from the ground, and everywhere is being urbanized, except for Xitang, which seems to have been forgotten. Looking back, I find that it looks like a noble beauty, and time has not changed its appearance, but has become even more beautiful

"Jiangnan is beautiful, the scenery is familiar to the past. At sunrise, the river flowers are more red than fire. In spring, the river water is as green as blue. Can you not forget Jiangnan?"

I vaguely remember that it was the seventh time I had stopped in this small town, and when we met again a year later, there was no change in the ancient town. It was still so lively, but the only change was that the ancient town had become one year old in the long river of history. I said softly, "Long time no see, Xitang.".

Walking through many ancient towns in Jiangnan, most people may feel that each town is very similar, with many bridges and alleys, black tiles and white walls, and corridor structures... But in fact, when we truly walk in the town and experience its unique charm and historical stories, we will discover their unique charm.

Tang Ge's jumping and shuttling between the white walls and black tiles, as well as his rapid sprint through the misty rain corridor, have brought the beautiful scenery of this small town in Jiashan County, Zhejiang Province to the world. This time, it coincides with the annual Hanfu Culture Festival in the ancient town. He changed into Hanfu and quickly integrated into it, seemingly entering a long history

The water in Jiangnan is like a gentle woman in my heart. It is quiet, and there is always a hint of tranquility in my eyes. What I admire the most are the places that are simple to the dust but can break through obstacles and bloom. They are filled with thousands of years of love and sorrow, soaring around time in the sky

In the morning, I woke up and took a small boat sailing in the flowing water of a small bridge. The hand cranked boat creaked and paddled through the calm river, and the sunlight fell on the slate road through the gaps. The oars swayed in the water, whispering about the distant past.

Riding on a boat and watching the people on both sides of the river, it is indeed a lazy time that cannot be ignored. They sway leisurely in the boat and chant, "The glass on the calm water surface is slippery, and the boat moves without realizing it, with slight ripples.".

Strolling through the long corridor, "leaning against the building to listen to the wind and rain, and looking down at the rivers and lakes." The reason why the Smoke and Rain Corridor is famous is because it is a quaint shaped pavilion, a reflection of the "many bridges, alleys, and pavilions" in Xitang.

Walking through the bustling streets, we arrived at the quiet Xitang Flower Alley and returned to the quiet atmosphere. There are many popular photo spots here, so don't miss them. Don't wait for ten minutes to take a photo

Every girl has a princess dream, and every girl hopes to have the most beautiful herself under the camera. Of course, she also hopes to have a beautiful background when taking photos. That's why the birth of "Internet celebrity Shengdi" was born. As long as you choose the right place to take photos, you are the most beautiful one in your social circle!

The Flower Alley has a unique wall with a pair of big wings painted on it, known as the Angel Wall. The oversized wall is very easy to capture, and standing there feels like an angel, making it a must take photo spot for many people

Next to the Angel Wall is a wish collection station, filled with everyone's wishes. Each prayer belt costs two yuan and can be paid by scanning the code. The design is very unique and it is a heart.

There is a curved moon on the square, paired with colorful flowers in the flower alley, which makes a great background for taking photos.

There are very few tourists from Shiqiao in the Flower Alley, so you can take photos to your heart's content, hold oil paper umbrellas, and walk in Hanfu. This is the Jiangnan in my mind

There are many shops owned by petty bourgeoisie in Xitang Flower Lane, which are worth stopping and enjoying a slower pace of life. Starbucks, DQ, KFC, DianDianDian Dian, and Deer Horn Lane are all the only brand shops. After getting tired, it's really comfortable to have a cup of coffee here and chat with friends

Stop in the busy life, quietly savor the flowing scenery, and meticulously record the stories that happen before you.

In addition to drinks, there are many other delicacies: Chunxi Lane Food Street, Chuanguo Wang Spicy Pot, Shishang Old Beijing Zhajiangmian, Manxue Queen, Jinyun Shaobing (Baked cake in griddle) I have tried many places and the taste is very good.

A typical water town street layout, with antique buildings on both sides, each seemingly casual small shop has many stories and emotions. If you have time, sitting down to have a cup of tea and listening to the boss talk about interesting things is also a good choice.

Walking on the street, you will feel that every tile and brick has been waiting for you for thousands of years, just for the feeling of looking at it for you. You will feel that if you entrust all the unhappiness of youth to this, it will bloom with smiling flowers. Every inch of dust and every building here has accumulated a thousand years of age. So it reminds you of all the thick things in life, and then you will reach out to touch and grab them. It will make you feel at ease. Xitang Flower Alley is indeed quiet and powerful.

There are multiple boutique hotels in Huaxiang, and we recommend staying at Huazhu and Hehe Jingshe, located at the north gate of Xitang Scenic Area. Inside Huaxiang, the entire environment is very quiet and the service is thoughtful!

Living in a millennium old town, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, savor the authentic ancient charm of the town's life in Xitang Flower Lane.

There is a peach tree on the folk square that is very eye-catching. You can take a photo under the peach tree wearing Hanfu. When night falls, this place becomes a folk square with singers singing, creating a great atmosphere

When the lights light up at night, it is even more dazzling. The night in Xitang is monotonous, and compared to the splendor of the big city, the night in Xitang is surprisingly quiet, with only red lanterns swaying in the wind

If possible, be sure to go to Xitang with your beloved person, bring your camera and enough time, walk and stop, record every wonderful moment, talk about dreams together at night, lie on the rocking chair of the inn, and tell each other's stories
