Fifteen years. I don't know how many fifteen years there will be in my life, let alone what I will look like in the next fifteen years. I only know that among the most beautiful years of life, there is only one and fifteen years.
2002 is a year that is deeply impressive in my memory. It was my first time flying, my first time traveling to the Three Gorges, and my first time visiting... Nanjing!
Looking out photos of that era, memories spring up like flowing water, thinking of sitting on the bus for 12 hours, thinking of engine failure caused by water loss in the water tank, thinking of the guide's introduction to the origin of the sycamore trees on the street, thinking of the food in the Wanqing Building that was eaten up, thinking of the same shoes and bags used by my best friend when traveling, thinking of me who never ate ducks, and I fell in love with salted ducks... It turns out that the memory is still clear, it has always been there, and so have my partners.
I looked really young in that era! And my old fat grandson, Xiao Shi and Xiao Wang!!!
In 2017, a relatively important year for the family, my daughter was admitted to college and was far away in Fuzhou. I wanted to send her off, but I didn't expect my daughter's concert needs to make me embark on a trip to Nanjing again. In the past 15 years, except for one visit in 2002, I also visited in 2011. However, due to the rush of travel, I only made a short stop at the Confucius Temple, so it was really 15 years to see Nanjing again.
Before traveling, I thought carefully and decided to try booking a B & B. First, to make the stay more comfortable, and secondly, to use the washing machine to wash clothes, which would save trouble. The house was located in the Yushikong Building near the Pearl River Estuary where Metro Line 1 and Line 3 intersect. The location is very good and close to Xinjiekou. It is very convenient for food, accommodation and travel. I recommend it to everyone.
Because my father didn't come until the evening for the meeting, my daughter and I took the high-speed train to Nanjing City, where we were missing. Nanjing was hot at noon, and it felt like it would dry when it sweated. At 12:30 was lunch time, so I put down my luggage and took a taxi and rushed straight to Lion Bridge. As soon as I got off the bus, I was actually a little confused because it was so different from what I imagined. There was no one on the street at all. For a moment, I thought I had gone to the wrong place. Looking at the big archway at Lion Bridge against the sun, I thought to myself, don't worry about it, it's good to have some to eat.
This time, my daughter also did some homework in advance and found some famous restaurants and famous snacks. At first glance, we saw Yin's soup dumplings. It is said that the chicken sauce soup dumplings in this century-old restaurant are very delicious and will be very affordable.
Entering the store, queuing up, paying for the bill, picking up the food, everything went smoothly! To sum up, the dumplings taste good. First of all, they are not small and have rich juice. They may taste too sweet for some people. Anyway, I think it's okay, but you must add a little vinegar. First, it will relieve the aroma of the meat. The greasy, and second, the layers of the dumplings will become richer due to the change in taste. The duck blood vermicelli soup here is relatively ordinary. Although it is amazing after taking a bite, after eating it, I suddenly feel that the flavor of his vermicelli soup is much weaker.
This is the biggest soup dumplings I have ever eaten in the few days in Nanjing. It's true.
In order to better taste Nanjing cuisine, the two of us simply ate these two dishes and immediately moved to the Nanjing Big Brand Store next to us. Thanks to the small number of people on this day, we could find a seat inside and have a serious meal. In the next few days, Nanjing Big Brand Stores in various places were crowded, lined up and crowded, and there was no way to eat at all.
The decoration inside is very distinctive. All the stores in Nanjing's big-name stores can be recognized at a glance. The occupancy rate is high and the seat change rate is also high. It is said that the waiters are all about watching and serving food and are never ambiguous.
These three things I want have also been verified by many netizens. We have limited stomachs and dare not order a big meal. We order some small portions of famous ones to taste, and that's all. Comments: The roast duck buns taste a little strange, but it may be related to the fact that I usually eat less ducks. My daughter said the taste is good; the shrimp yellow tofu tastes great. At first, I thought it was not too different from the crab yellow tofu, but it is really very different. There is no sweet smell of shrimp, but you can feel the shrimp everywhere with a bite; The most recommended thing is this bowl of ordinary-looking sugar taro seedlings. Although it is called sugar taro seedlings, it actually only has a very relaxed sweetness. It will not make you feel tired, let alone make you feel stale. It has a little fragrance of osmanthus, a great experience.
After eating two families, I was super full, but when I saw the recommended candied gourd, I couldn't help but buy one. When I found Su Yiming's crab yellow soup dumplings in the alley again, I had insufficient strength and couldn't eat it no matter what.
Seeing the sunny sky outside and the hot sun, I thought about it and decided to go to the Underwater World. It must be very cool there. I got on the bus and walked to the Ming Palace Museum. It was already three o'clock. In order to avoid the embarrassment of closing the door at the destination, I wisely got off the bus and diverted my way to the Nanjing Museum.
The Nanjing Museum is very large, with about six or seven exhibition halls. We had limited time and only browsed the Nature Museum and the History Museum. There was no time to go to the Republic of China Museum or anything. It's quite interesting. Although most museums across the country are of similar types, the Nanjing Museum still focuses on making a fuss about the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, recording the historical changes of Nanjing in detail. It happened to encounter exhibitions in the heyday of the empire and spent 50 yuan viewing many exhibits from the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia, many of which were moved from the Palace Museum.
Before leaving the hotel, I discovered this coffee and tea restaurant. The accustomed lattes and tiramisu suddenly made my heart calm.
On the way home by the subway, I actually found the aftertaste duck blood vermicelli soup that I had not found in Lion Bridge. I crossed the road without hesitation and prepared to eat it.
Looking at this steamed bun, it is similar to Yin's. It is actually really small, but his vermicelli soup is super good and delicious. I don't know if it's because I'm used to it or something else, but I really like duck blood vermicelli soup. Sorry, sorry, I feel impulsive when I talk about eating...
I waited for my father to come at night for a long time, and it was finally arrived at 12 o'clock.
On Friday, the 11th, the concert day, the weather was sunny and cloudless. Due to important activities in the evening, I chose the Presidential Palace for today's itinerary. It was not too tiring. After the transfer, I went to Confucius Temple for lunch, then went home to sleep, and went out at 4:30 to go to the Olympic Sports. Very good!!
As it was not far from our residence, we walked there, and it was only after 9 o'clock when we arrived at the Presidential Palace. It's a sea of people. In fact, my father and I have been to the Presidential Palace, mainly to let my children come and experience it. Thanks to my cleverness, I searched for a small line and lined up. I bought the tickets in a short while. If I had to follow the old man and the two lined up at the door, I wouldn't be able to buy a ticket at noon.
To be honest, in 15 years, I am impressed, but I am really not deep. The moment I saw the plaque of the world for the public, I felt my heart shook, and an indescribable emotion surged into my heart. For some reason, I thought of the three Song sisters, of Soong Ching Ling resisting family pressure and resolutely married the founding father, of his death before the revolution was formed, and then look at the green garden pavilions surrounded by green and green waters. The touching life was actually really sad. No matter how brilliant and great you were during your lifetime, the person lying in the crystal coffin was just like that. Most of them are still dust to dust and soil to soil. They are not as green and straight as trees, and are not as good as running water to moisten things silently.
There is a 1912 block on the west side of the Presidential Palace. It is built with a very distinctive character. Many young people take photos here. I feel that I am old. Not only am I old in appearance, but I am also old in heart. I am no longer interested in this at all. There are many restaurants on the street, including Honggong Mansion, and one called Passing by Your World. The creeper at the door fills the entire wall, and it feels like a green waterfall is pouring down. I want it, and it took me a long way to take a photo. Alas, I have a movie complex, so I couldn't help it.
The plan was very good. I went to Confucius Temple for lunch by subway, but as soon as I left the subway station, I saw delicious food in my eyes. With the purpose of resolutely not letting go of any delicious food, I immediately decided to eat before leaving, and started eating!!!
In fact, I had eaten three restaurants, one had the aftertaste of dried noodles, one had the Shanghai Shengjian, and the other had the fish meal of Yu Tingxian. Although I was very full, I still ate a lot. I comforted myself that I would exercise more and digest it after walking for a while. The sorrow of eating...
I don't understand the feelings of children very much. Maybe it's related to the fact that I never chase stars. I always feel that it's completely irrational to let an irrelevant person control my thoughts. However, I can only reserve my opinions, emotions, and try my best to support my daughter.
There were so many people, and my daughter lined up to enter the venue. My father and I couldn't see it for a while. It took almost an hour to enter the gate. It was really a crazy era.
There was nothing wrong with us left and right. We drove two shared bicycles to have fun. We wanted to ride to the edge of the Yangtze River to have a look, but seeing that it was getting late, we decisively gave up the idea. I suddenly remembered that there was a good restaurant called the cook. When I searched my mobile phone, it was located on the opposite floor of the Central Mansion. Two typical foodies rushed towards the cook.
Ordering is a technical job. Before arriving at a restaurant you have never eaten before, the wisest thing to do is to learn from others 'recommendations and reviews. Especially if you eat less and eat well, you should pay more attention to quality. I ordered the three most recommended dishes, but I don't know why I only took two photos. The boiled fish was cooked well, but it didn't feel very amazing. On the contrary, the next dish, I thought it was Shanghai's eight-treasure hot sauce. It was cut into small dices and felt delicious. They were all served as the next dish, but unfortunately there was no rice. Overall, the comments are okay and the taste is okay, but they are not impressive and can't stop.
It's already 10:30 for my daughter to come out. Fortunately, Nanjing Metro is very reliable and still in operation. Thanks to Nanjing Metro!
On Saturday, the weather was cloudy, and there was a light rain when I went out. When I arrived at the Holocaust Memorial Hall, it was already heavy. I was surprised when I got out of the subway. The people in line had already turned a few corners. In an instant, all the patriotic emotions surged up. I felt like there was a fire and a lock. Although it was burning in my heart, it couldn't spout out. I think this may be the best achievement China has made in educating the people over the years. No matter how open-minded, radical, lost and decadent you are, The motherland will always be supreme in my heart. Zhan Lang was able to sell for nearly 6 billion yuan because of the patriotic blood of the people.
Seeing the flames of the memorial ceremony burning in the rain, I bent down and paid tribute to all those buried deep here. May there be no worries in heaven!
The rain kept falling, and the solemn atmosphere needed to be relieved. Remembering that he wanted to treat them to a good meal, he decided to go to the Republic of China Red Mansion near the Grand Palace for lunch. The elevator is very cool. It took a long time to successfully reach the 55th floor. It is very tall and tall. Whether it is in terms of layout or the wearing of the service staff, it really has the flavor of the Republic of China. The food is very expensive. I thought it would be about 500 for three people, but I got a discount and it would cost more than 600. But when it comes to going out, you can't calculate the money. If you calculate the money, you just don't go out, right?
Let me show you the special dishes!!
Does it have the style of the Republic of China?
This squirrel mandarin fish is really delicious and is the best dish. Sweet and sour flavors are made from fruits and vegetables. Pineapple and other small fruit grains are melted into the soup. They are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They are definitely the best, and they are worthy of being the top recommended dishes.
This black pepper beef fillet is also highly recommended by everyone. I, who doesn't eat beef, also ate two pieces. My daughter said that this dish is excellent. In fact, to put it bluntly, she loves meat.
Huadiao chicken, Nanjing Water Eight Immortals and so on are all unique. When I saw this eel, I really thought it was just fried eel shredded in oil. In the end, they called it something like a soft bag. Given the name of the cola, I ordered it. The only drawback is that I thought this iron plate should be hot. When serving it, it should feel like a iron plate. When it really comes up, it will be cold. The dish will become a little cold for a while, losing the original flavor of the dish.
After eating the flower carving chicken wood, he decisively packed it.
I eat so full every day. How can I continue like this? Keep walking... Work at the Confucius Temple
Except for buying some Yuhua tea, I didn't buy anything, just for a walk.
I took a special photo of the Wanqing Building, and I felt nothing like it was back then. The store had expanded a lot. I can still vaguely recall that time, when the building was full of delicious food and wine, and the eyes were full of singing and dancing.
After returning home, I still felt full and decided to walk towards Xuanwu Lake after resting for a while. I have really never been to Xuanwu Lake in the two times I have been to Nanjing. It's not too far to check the map. Walking along Beijing Road is just right and you can pass Jiming Temple. Well, it's a good idea, go!!
When walking on Danfeng Street, I couldn't feel the style of Greater Nanjing at all. Unexpectedly, when I turned right and entered Beijing Road, the style suddenly changed. The straight cedar trees basically completely concealed the buildings on both sides of the road, adding a little mystery to it.
This is Jiming Temple, just next to the Nanjing Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. I was thinking about what kind of units would be there in such a good environment, but I didn't expect to find the Nanjing Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government sign in the shadows. I really wanted to take a photo, but the armed police at the door saw me holding my mobile phone and looking at me, and they felt scared. Forget it, it's better to have less trouble.
Xuanwu Lake is really big. It took a lot of time to watch the navigation walk through a small circle, and the destination was Xuanwu Gate. Comrade Fatty actually asked me, is this Xuanwu Gate, the transformation of Xuanwu Gate? Oh, my God, I am speechless. It is obviously the North Palace Gate of Xi'an City, okay? Sigh, talking to science students about this is really like playing pearls before a cow.
Xuanwu Gate is quite beautiful in the evening. After walking here, the direction has completely changed. The two of us are going to go to Lion Bridge by bike to see if Lion Bridge is as prosperous as the legend at night.
This is Yin's dumpling. There are not many people.
There are quite a lot of people in Nanjing's big brands. There are full of people queuing up for equal signs. I wanted to go in and taste his Yangchun noodles, but I was afraid of them.
This Lion House is also said to be very famous, but it is absolutely impossible to eat big meals at night, and it is not enough to just satisfy your appetite.
On Sunday, it still rained. The rain in Nanjing was as distinctive as a little girl. The rain was extremely thin and dense, and it fell silently on the umbrella. It did not have the feeling of being a tough guy in the north. The strangest thing was that every shower was not long, and it rained again at a short interval. It was very interesting.
It was cool when I went out, with only a little raindrop, so I decided to take three bicycles straight to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. Cycling is actually quite comfortable, but it becomes completely uncomfortable when it goes uphill. I can't ride at all. It may be related to my physical strength. When I get near the Nanjing Museum, I am already exhausted. In addition, the rain suddenly became dense, so I had to change to walking.
Although it rained, there were still many people. I had to wait for the battery car in the scenic spot for a long time. Looking at the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum hidden by layers of shade through Boai Fang, one will feel very solemn without realizing it. Perhaps this was the original intention of the builders at that time, which directly shocked you mentally.
While walking, I told my daughter about the characteristics of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, especially the famous steps. Looking up at the entire steps represents the twists and turns of the revolutionary road, and looking down at the entire platform represents the broad vision of a great man. There are many people who really count whether it is level 392, but I don't know. I don't want to be abused in the rain.
When going down the mountain, the line where the battery car was riding was already too long to bear to look at it. In order not to delay time, they decided to walk on. However, fools are blessed. They didn't walk far when they found two bicycles. I don't know which kind person rode up the mountain and left them to us and my wife. I thank you on behalf of the government and the people. It feels so great to ride down the mountain. There is no need to pedal at all. Just feel the breeze in the mountains carefully. Speaking of which, I really admire Nanjing Big Brand Store. It was only past 11 o'clock when I went down the mountain, and the door was already dark and impossible to enter. Thinking that there was a Nanjing Big Brand Store above Xinjiekou Deji Square, I decided to take the subway to eat there.
After making peace with my father, when I went up to the seventh floor, I felt a lot of frustration.
Look, these are all people waiting for a seat. Holy shit...
Forget it, I'd better go home and eat. There's a century-old restaurant near my door. I've eaten it before ~~
You must show off this piano. It is on the first floor of Phase I of Deji Plaza. It is very conceptual.
Nanjing is very beautiful in the evening. It has been raining all day, and the air is full of refreshing smell. Thinking that I will be back tomorrow, I'd better go and explore where the delicious salted ducks are sold. It is said that there are three stores in this Zhangyun Salted Duck, and the supply exceeds demand every day. If you want to eat delicious ducks, you must rush early. Ride a bicycle and go on a duck hunt trip!!
With navigation, I reached the nearby Pingshi Street store smoothly. Sure enough, people were just about to close, but the ducks were sold out. As a last resort, I went to the flagship store on Shengzhou Road, where there should be still a surplus of goods. You must know, you must try it before buying it. Otherwise, how can you explain it to your relatives and friends? I bought a box at the flagship store without taking a photo. It was really good, so I immediately decided to buy it as soon as it opened tomorrow morning. Oh yeah, duck's done.
The weather is still early, let's go to Laomen East.
Seeing that there was a Deyun Society, I immediately took pictures, but I didn't recognize any of the people performing inside.
There is an ancient city wall to the east of Nanjing Museum and a section at the entrance of Xuanwu Lake. The section east of Laomen should be the Zhonghua Gate.
On the way around, I found a very high-end bookstore. The house was very high-end. The brick carvings and wood carvings were extremely exquisite, waka...
One taken at the door, one in the house, my God, forgive my poor shooting skills.
When I turned out the door, I found a guide. In the guide, I actually saw several famous stores introduced in variety shows. I immediately became excited and looked for it.
The blue big sugar porridge lotus root below is very famous. Unfortunately, today's ones have been sold out. I only bought a piece of sugar taro seedlings and tasted them. It feels similar to the ones from Nanjing's famous brands.
The black lacquer mawu one is actually the famous Xiaozheng Crispy Sesame Biscuit. It is said that there is a queue at all times in this shop. I haven't seen it in other shops. The queue at the Laomen East one is really long, so long that I don't even want to eat it. I don't have the idea of eating it. In fact, the main seller is duck crispy sesame cakes. It is said that the best ones are shredded radish and red bean paste. Try it again another day when you have time.
Relying on the blue boss is this Jiming soup bun. Apart from chicken juice soup bun, the most famous one is this chrysanthemum leaf soup bun. It is probably because some chrysanthemum leaf elements are added to the filling to relieve the sweetness of the meat filling with the freshness of plants. There is nothing wrong with eating, but because I have tasted too many types of soup buns in the past few days, my taste has become numb, and my taste is not too excellent.
On Monday, on the day I went home, I got up before 6 o'clock in the morning and went to have breakfast nearby. It was said that breakfast had been served at his house these days. It was called Wangji Wonton, not Wangji. There is a famous Wangji Wonton in Nanjing, but we didn't try it near Yuhuatai. This owner makes old braised noodles. I don't like dark soup in the noodles, so I always eat wontons. The Dong's pot stickers next to them are very well fried. Today, the meat will be vegetarian tomorrow. I have been eating it for a few days, and I'm not tired at all, haha.
The small portion of wonton is 6 yuan, which is very affordable. A pot sticker is only 5 yuan. The noodles are a few yuan more expensive. Nanjing breakfast is very cost-effective.
Let's go buy ducks by bike...
In order to buy the freshest ones, we rode directly to the flagship store. It had just opened, and there were not too many people. Fortunately, we went early, otherwise, when people were busy, they would not be willing to chop them up and vacuum them. It would take about an hour to buy and pack them all. In fact, his roast duck is also very famous, but due to the reputation of salted duck, I don't buy roast duck.
The store is not big and has many customers. Does it look tempting?
Dang (Symphony of Destiny begins)
Do you know what this is? This is a blessed person who doesn't have to be busy, hahaha...
While waiting for the ducks, I suddenly discovered that the two shops next door were Xiaozheng Crispy sesame cakes. There was no one in line at this point. The sesame cakes were just baked. Unfortunately, there was no red bean paste. I only bought shredded radish and pepper. It was fragrant and crispy, really lucky (SUB o SUB)!
Goodbye, Nanjing! But I wonder how many years it will be since we met again? 15 years is actually a long time. Whether it is the changes of a city or the growth of a person, 15 years can turn things upside down.
To paraphrase Gray Wolf: Wait for me, I will definitely come back!!!
