Gaochun Mancheng Lvjia Village

Address: Lujia Village, Yaxi Town, Gaochun District, Nanjing City

Tickets: Free

There are still two days left before I return to work, and I want to seize the holiday and set off for Gaochun. I was wandering around Shijiu Lake some time ago and thought of coming to Gaochun next time. I have come to Gaochun sporadically a few times before. I remember the first time was a parent-child activity in the children's class ten years ago. We came to Mancheng in the northeast of Gaochun District, when the construction of Mancheng was just beginning. In November 2010, Gaochun District's "Yaxi Ecological Tour" was officially rated as "China's First International Slow City" by the International Slow City Alliance. "International Slow City, leisure and quiet Gaochun" is the goal of Gaochun Slow City. Now the concept of Slow City is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the scale of construction of Slow City is getting larger and larger. Although I have been here before, I am actually still unfamiliar with this place. I just typed "Gaochun International Slow City" into the navigation destination to set out. From Provincial Highway 204 to Laoya Road, you can see the beautiful pastoral scenery of Mancheng all the way. We obediently followed the navigation all the way to the parking lot on the side of the lawn of Lujia Village in Mancheng and parked the car.

Here is full of green, green rapeseed, green pond, green bamboo forest, green pine trees, green green...

The pink in the green is azalea. Azalea is a beautiful memory from my childhood. Childhood is all pure natural things, and flowers are also pure natural. The azalea red in the mountains and plains in April and May is a childhood memory.

Gaochun Yaxi International Slow City has more than 10,000 acres of high-quality rapeseed fields, which is of great scale and momentum. The International Golden Flower Festival is held here every year at the end of March. Today is April 12th, and we missed its brightest season perfectly. But I don't have a trace of regret in my heart. Seeing the pastoral scenery of rapeseed, the fruit of this place, is also a harvest experience!

Since it is already an international slow city, the overall environment here has been created to look like a model.

The evergreen Lvjia Lawn is a good place for tourists to rest and play, and it is also a good place for outdoor drinking and camping. On a sunny weekend, the most appropriate thing is to go outdoors to experience the beautiful scenery, walk with family and friends, and wake up naturally in the fields together.

The open lawn of the Lu family is covered with green grass. There is a huge snail grass sculpture on the lawn, symbolizing the "slow theme" melody of the city.

Giant insect grass carvings are vivid and interesting

The large lawn of Lu's family is surrounded by a pool of green water

On the other side of the water is the Peach Blossom Fan Square. The opening ceremony of the annual International Slow City Golden Flower Tourism Festival was held in Peach Blossom Fan Square.

The vegetation is rich and layered

Reeds float by the water's edge, camphor trees are lined on the hills, and pink peach blossoms are dotted among them in the rippling green.

The flowering period of rapeseed flowers usually lasts for about half a month. After each flower withers, it forms many rapeseed seeds, which can be used to extract clear oil.
The green bricks and green tiles in Lujia Village are hidden among tens of thousands of acres of rapeseed, which has the flavor of Meng Haoran's pastoral poetry.

Half a month ago, this was a field of golden flowers and green leaves. Imagine golden rapeseed flowers, green street trees, and farmhouses with white walls and blue tiles. The layers are clear and colorful, which makes people think about it. The golden color that faded at this time was replaced by green rapeseed, giving it another simple and elegant beauty.

The road is clean and tidy, with street trees on both sides lined up. On one side of the street trees is a large area of green lawns and on the other side is a sea-like rapeseed field.

There are contiguous rapeseed flower fields around Lujia Village.

Is there the vastness of the ocean?

Are there any signs of being an island in the middle of the ocean?

After the blooming season, I occasionally see scattered residual rapeseed flowers.

The breeze rippled, the earth danced, the green sea of rapeseed rolled, and each wave of tide came a wave of songs, making people relaxed and happy.

There are narrow paths in the field, follow the paths to get close to the field. The green colors on both sides instantly healed the eyes and made them lush. At this time of year, there is sunshine but not hot. A gust of wind blows, and my body feels cool. It is extremely refreshing in an instant!

The rapeseed flowers here are as tall as a person. When I get close to them, my small body is submerged in them. At this time, the flowers had faded and the vegetable poles were covered with rapeseed horns. The green ones were full and plump and were about to crack. Was it the wind that blew them to the ground, or did the weight make them crawl naturally on the ground?

There are happy people on the big lawn. The epidemic is improving and more and more people are coming outdoors.

A red electric car stands quietly on the green lawn, and the whole picture is full of warmth.

Mancheng is really big, and it's really difficult to rely on just two legs. Fortunately, there are tourist buses in the scenic area. The yellow and white minibuses driving in a green area are themselves a beautiful scenery.

The fitness trail is marked with red on one side of the carriageway. There are walking trails, bicycle lanes, battery lanes, and urban roads to meet the needs of different groups of people. It depends on which path you choose to experience the slow city.

You can see from the road signs that the content of Mancheng is rich!

Panorama. Only after looking at the picture did I realize how big this place is. One day is not enough, so we can only visit a few villages hastily according to the original plan.

We looked at the glass plank road from afar. We were not interested in walking in the canopy or traveling through the jungle. We just wanted to come to an empty place with few people, take off our masks, and breathe freely.

So we didn't continue, but stayed in this pastoral area, catching a ray of spring breeze. The rich colors here, the fragrance of blooming wild flowers, and the crisp chirping of birds came in our ears. The time seemed to lengthen.

In the vast world, the rapeseed flowers have withered, and the yellow dress has been removed, but the large tracts of rapeseed fields look like a green ocean, unique in the sun.

Layer upon layer, forming a sea that cannot be seen at a glance. Imagine coming here half a month ago. It was a spectacular golden flower wave. The unique aroma of rapeseed flowers will make butterflies fly and make you lose your way.

Listen quietly, and the green waves make the sound of "sand-sand" with the warm wind. The fields belong to rapeseed. At this time of year, the flowers are not there, but they are green and overlapping. The green in your eyes is carefully divided into light green, dark green, and dark green.

The endless rapeseed fields, the pure blue and green between heaven and earth, the lucid pond water, coupled with the white walls of the cottages, weave a beautiful April picture.

We walked along the field path in the direction of the village. The tall rapeseed seeds sway with the wind, you lean on me, I lean on you, squeezing together in the warm wind, making a "Hua Hua" sound, indicating a bumper harvest of rapeseed seeds.

People fishing leisurely by the pond in front of the village

Mountains and rivers, fields, cottages, and harmonious coexistence are the themes of the "International Slow City".

The scene you can see from the middle of the village is so clear. The nearby houses, ponds, willows in the distance, rapeseed fields, and far and far contrast each other, weaving a beautiful picturesque picture of Jiangnan, which is pleasing to the eye and intoxicating.

From the countryside to the food street in Lujia Village. Small stalls on the street are bustling with food. Pick up the car here and get back on the road.

Gaochun Mancheng Shiqiang Village

Address: Shiqiangwei Village, Lanxi Town, Gaochun District, Nanjing City

Tickets: Free

This beautiful road is Gaochun's Slow City Line and is the main road here. The scenery along the line is natural, simple and beautiful, fully demonstrating the unique ecological characteristics of Yaxi.

The road winds along the mountain and has beautiful curves. Please slow down and drive slowly at the corners. Since you are coming to Slow City, you should appreciate the word "slow" and don't rush.

Another corner. The beautiful scenery here attracted us to stop.

On the right side of the road are rows of wooded maple trees. At this time, the maple trees are not hot red, but only tender buds are tender and yellow-green. The rows of yellow-green on the ground are like a striped carpet. The maple garden in spring is so fresh.

Imagine that from November to early December every year, this place will turn into a fiery red ocean, attracting photography enthusiasts from all over the world to shoot the intoxicating "maple" scenery. Maybe I will come for this forest in late autumn.

There is a small tea garden under the hill on the left side of the road. Is this the time to pick new tea?

The scenery from this angle is rich. There is a Wenfeng Pagoda on a hill not far away. At the foot of the mountain, there are cottages with white walls and black tiles in the village.

Spring is full of green, dotted with peach blossoms and cauliflower, like an elegant watercolor painting.

I stayed quietly at this corner for a while. Look at the peach blossoms decorated with greenery everywhere, and the tea gardens are scattered and spacious, with a variety of customs. Take a deep breath, and high-density anion air comes to your face with the fresh smell of earth. Inhaling in the fresh air here cleans your lungs. His mind also became much clearer.

After another few miles, you will come to Shiqiangwei Village, located in the northwest of Yaxi Town.

The mountains and rivers in the village blend, making it look beautiful and beautiful.

Shiqiangwei is one of the first batch of "water-beautiful villages" in Nanjing City

The village is clean and tidy, but it seems deserted because of the epidemic.

Many clean and tidy cottages have started farmhouse businesses.

A sign on the side of the village road tells us about the farmhouses in the village now.

The map tells us the specific location of the farmhouse.

There is a reservoir in Shiqiangwei Village-Dashan Reservoir

Under the reservoir is a swamp, and there is a long wooden bridge in the swamp.

Walking on the bridge and walking in the beautiful nature, leisurely and contented.

The residual lotus in the pond makes people feel affectionate

Hidden deep in the mountains, surrounded by stone walls facing the mountains and rivers, it is simply a paradise. Imagine sitting by a pond full of lotus flowers in summer, drinking coffee to relax, or just having a meditation to open up emotional barriers. Do you yearn for such a rhythm, such a life?

Leave Shiqiangwei and drive on Qingshen Road, a well-named road, and drive towards Dashanxia Village, which is close to you.

Gaochun Mancheng Dashanxia Village

Address: Dashanxia Village, Lanxi Town, Gaochun District, Nanjing City

Tickets: Free

Driving on the village road, everything looks clean and tidy. Huizi-style cottages correspond to green and are simple and interesting.

The village also features farmhouses as its business characteristics. From the number of farmhouses, we can see how lively this place was back then. Because of the epidemic, there are few tourists here and it is deserted. But this artistic conception is what I like. The clear and faint appearance of the village is its plain appearance.

There are no tourists, and occasionally I see villagers coming and going. It is simple, simple and natural here.

The natural oxygen bar under the light clouds and the wind has no worldly pollution. The mountain light and the water color are scrolls casually swung by heaven and earth. Every appropriate shade of ink and ink and clever blank space are just right, and time has also retreated to the painting. Outside.

Wenfeng Tower on the top of the mountain is the commanding height of Yaxi International Slow City. It is imitated in the Tang style of seven-level pavilions in all directions. Wenfeng Tower echoes the most beautiful skyline of Mancheng, tall and straight, light and elegant. In many places in Mancheng, you can look up and see the classic of this iconic Wenfeng Tower Range Rover. The village is also named "Under the Mountain" because of this mountain.

The faint light clouds are like clusters of ribbons curling around green waves.

In the wheat fields, the greenery of the rapeseed fields are cottages with white walls and tiles.

When spring comes to Gaochun, there is no need to deliberately search for it. Everywhere is a peach blossom garden where "the land is flat and the houses are like... traffic is scattered across the roads, and chickens and dogs hear each other."

There are no heavy traffic here. We quietly watched the clouds turn and relax, slowed down, and let the good times last longer, longer.

Looking at the main road in the village from the entrance of the village, the sense of depth brings endless imagination. Are there "green trees close to the village, green mountains and green mountains slope outside?" Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, you can see Nanshan leisurely." The charm?

We stay here. This is not the most beautiful season in Gaochun Slow City, but it doesn't matter what the most beautiful flowers are all year round. In fact, there are scenery in every season. Everything is just right here for me. There is just the right green, which is so pure; there is just the right clarity, which is still enough to make your heart return to simplicity; there is just the right slowness, and there is no rush or impetuous, without interference...

This road takes us back to real life. For our age, we still have to keep driving on the road, but a moment's stay can also make us feel safe, which is enough!

I only wandered around a small part of Mancheng today. Gaochun International Slow City is located at the eastern foot of Youzishan National Forest Park, with an area of 50 square kilometers. It has an ecological golden ratio of three mountains, two divided waters, and five divided fields. It is an agricultural tourist attraction integrating hilly ecological resources. Leisure, vacation, and ecological agriculture. The 48-kilometer-long "Ecological Journey" scenery belt winds through the north and south, circling between six administrative villages. Therefore, it will take a lot of time to walk carefully and slowly read. Anyway, I am not far away, so I will come and walk slowly if I have time. Let's take a closer look!
