The epidemic has eased and the unit has not yet resumed work, so he has time to leave his usual range of activities within Nanjing. It is better to visit less urban areas with many people. We all choose to walk in idyllic scenery areas with cities and villages, mountains, rivers and villages. I accidentally discovered a place called Xiangbian Sujia Cultural and Creative Town on the Internet. The first time I saw this place name, I knew this was my favorite place, so I set out.

Turn left on Yinxing Lake Avenue and enter Jiangning's 24-kilometer most beautiful rural winding line. The road is spacious and there are few vehicles. The road is red and green on both sides, which makes driving feel particularly good. I kicked the accelerator and turned around again. The entrance of the village is this highway with the scenery.

The entrance is not big and can easily be ignored. You must check the Sukang Health Code to enter the door. No tickets are required. The Blue Glass House served as a temporary isolation house during the epidemic.

When you step into the town, what you see is the slight decoration of the original houses. The blue sign signs at the entrance are simple and full of literary style. On one side, the graphic introduction of "One person's dream of stars, a group of people's dream of stars". The town is a characteristic village built by a group of young people who dare to think and do. It is a comprehensive town that integrates food, cultural creativity, entertainment and leisure, and light and luxury B & Bs.

On the west side of Xingtian Road, there is a row of fresh creative shops on the right hand side of the town. A clean small house with white walls and blue tiles-"Muwu Tea Courtyard", everything in one room and one courtyard looks simple and quiet. Because of the epidemic, the door was closed.

Wooden lattices, wooden doors and windows dotted with white walls, and the small courtyard is also surrounded by low wooden fences.

This simple white brick wall, wooden window frame, and small house dotted with flowers and plants has a sweet name-Mishi. A dessert shop, but unfortunately it is not open yet. Standing on the platform and overlooking the green forest at the foot of the mountain, I leaned back against the simple white wall to take a selfie. There is a strong petty-bourgeois atmosphere here, and any small scene can take a group of artistic photos.

There is a Yunman Xiaozhu B & B on the stone hill on the left.

A high B & B is like walking in the clouds.

When you climb up the stone stairs and enter the hospital, you can feel the nostalgia of "the clouds are cloudy and the wind is light, and the small building is peaceful". The large platform in front of the house is also paved with various irregularly shaped stones.

The wooden fences, the natural colors of wooden grilles, the colors of the walls and the embellishments of paintings make the B & Bs in the "Cloud" come alive.

Walking into the lobby, the "L" shaped space on one side of the lobby is a leisure activity area. The pine cabinet on one side lives next to the wall, and a row of green plants is placed on the cabinet. There is a long table in the center of the house, and several chairs are quietly placed here. Large glass on both sides allows the sun to shine in.

Looking into the courtyard, everything was quiet. Because of the epidemic, it was extremely quiet here, with only one housekeeper here. The housekeeper was very kind and invited us to sit down and have a look.

Overlooking the Muwu Tea House in the courtyard of Yunman Small Building.

This three-story B & B adjacent to Yundian is called Liangzhu B & B.

The B & Bs on the road signs tell us that this is a gathering place for B & Bs.

From the town's floor plan, we can know that Sujia Cultural and Creative Town is located west of Bailu Lake, east of Ginkgo Lake, and north of Longshan Reservoir. It is backed by Jiangsu Software Park and is a "companion city and township" area. This is a hilly area, surrounded by mountains and rivers and accompanied by fertile farmland. It contains the essence of the mountains and rivers of western Jiangning. It is surrounded by Huanglongxian Tea Culture Village, Shitang Renjia, Niushou Mountain Cultural Tourism Zone, etc. There are hills, lakes, various well-named B & Bs, green parks, water sports clubs, Internet celebrity cafes, restaurants...

This place is called the star's dream realization place. This small road that enters the town has a nice name, Xingtian Road.

These pictures of people are all "stars" with dreams in the town.

Along the path forward, the pastoral scenery and small rural buildings blend together.

The white clouds floating in the blue sky are constantly changing, the ground is covered with rapeseed flowers, and there are two white-dominated B & Bs on the left and right in the green mountains and forests. The whole picture is a beautiful oil painting.

B & B in idyllic scenery

Most of the main bodies of B & Bs are white with large and multi-shaped glass windows. The advantage of large glass windows is that they can enjoy better sunshine and better visual effects indoors.

Most B & Bs also have their own restaurants. This all-glass restaurant is bright and translucent.

There are cars parked on both sides of the main road in the village. I don't understand why there is a parking lot as soon as I enter the town. Why don't they park their cars in the parking lot?

On the south side of Xingtian Road is Green Paradise.

An area is enclosed by bamboo fences. There is no rush to enter, just quietly look at the beautiful scenery in front of you by the fence and enjoy the tranquility.

Small ponds, glass houses, rapeseed fields, faint peach blossoms, everything is quiet and well.

Here, a colorful arched door opposite to each other allows you to enter the park. In spring, the green lawn, yellow rapeseed flowers, and pink peach blossoms decorate this place into a colorful world.

As soon as you enter the door, rapeseed flowers are in full bloom in several round flower beds. This color lights up the entire park.

On an empty land, wooden enclosures form small dishes, where various vegetables are grown. This is a world created by parents and children.

This side is full of literary atmosphere. The herringbone roof, the all-glass house starting from the roof, is like a scene in a fairy tale world.

I like this exquisitely carved glass house so much that I can't see enough around it.

The lower half of the glass house is made of large stones. The stones, wooden frames, and the glass are full of original ecology.

Walking into the glass house, it turned out to be a greenhouse, with pots of flowers and plants placed on the flower tables on both sides. Two benches accompany the flower table, which can serve as either a flower table or a leisure chair. In the lush land, in the aroma of plants, in the warm sunshine, sitting alone in a daze, reading a book, or inviting two or three friends to chat and whisper are all wonderful enjoyment.

The all-glass roof allows excellent lighting, and the light nourishes these flowers and plants.

Pink rhododendrons

Daffodils exuding an elegant fragrance

Sunlight penetrates through the glass to the inside, and cannot be eroded by storms. In such a space, whether it is planting plants or raising flowers, it makes people feel comfortable.

Wandering around it is as if you are in the pictures of a literary film all the time.

I love this exquisitely carved greenhouse. I even put my "Buda" on a bench to take a photo with this beautiful scene.

The small pond in front of the greenhouse, the green paradise nature classroom with red brick walls and green tiles, and the rolling hills not far away, everything in front of you is so beautiful.

Outside the low fence on the east side of the greenhouse are several box houses. Several girls are doing DIY on the lawn in front of the box house.

They carefully painted on the tires. In fact, while walking in the town, I heard some people's conversations and learned that due to the epidemic, some friends who had come to Nanjing from other places to visit relatives and friends were not convenient to wander around, so they lived here since the Spring Festival. Living in a B & B, you are "self-isolated" in this small town in the mountains and rivers. A family or several families spent a safe and quiet Spring Festival here.

Green Park is a pastoral park jointly created by many talented people and suitable for parent-child play. In addition to the beautiful flower houses, there are also vegetable gardens, flower beds, windmills, tall huts, crossing doors, suspension bridges, wheel swings... This is a different world for children, all full of fun. Because of the epidemic, there were not many people, but they seemed close. But I can imagine that this must be a lively place for parent-child activities in ordinary days.

This beautiful rainbow bridge can also be used as a prop for peek-a-boo.

In the parent-child playground, children and parents feel each other through collaborative games and labor. We find the innocence and happiness of childhood in a quiet and leisurely environment. Children are infinitely close to nature and experience the unique fun of the countryside.

There are unique box houses on the green lawn

The little cute on the lawn heard the owner's call and ran over quickly

All the houses have panoramic glass doors and windows, which are extremely bright.

We walked south along the bluestone trail.

Looking back at the rows of B & Bs in Sujia Village.

Stroll along the path paved with blue stones, you will find a more secluded mountain scenery.

This path is also a health trail in the town.

The streams and flowing water under the mountains

The winding paths paved with bluestone on the ridges are accompanied by the streams, and the streams are accompanied by the mountains, harmonious but not lonely.

Returning to the center of the town, the road was a slightly wide cobblestone path.

The creek connects to the lake, which is the Egret Lake. Strolling through the mountains and rivers, lakes and mountains, pleasant scenery, a rural scenery.

The blue sky and white clouds, the yellow and gray box houses in the greenery between the earthen earth, all the color ratios and frame ratios in the picture are just right.

The trees spit green, and the pink peach blossoms are full of spring. Enjoy the natural atmosphere of the lake in the vast countryside. The peaceful atmosphere attracts people to return to pastoral life.

Those who do not have the conditions to return, even if they have a few days of leisure to grow vegetables and fish here, if they are too lazy to move, they will just stay in a daze here in the mountains behind the lake.

The Su family adjacent to Egret Lake was once an abandoned village. Nowadays, it is home to a variety of B & Bs, farm restaurants, dessert shops, and rich green parks hidden in the green woods.

This red brick and green tile house is the nature classroom of Green Paradise. If it were not for the epidemic, this would be a place for parents and children to gather happily. Now there is no one here, and there are even spider webs in the hidden places, giving a sense of loneliness and desolation.

But I like the feeling. No one disturbed me, so I quietly surrounded it and looked at it carefully.

Red bricks and semi-arc-shaped benches made of wooden boards must be filled with big friends and children.

I leaned quietly against the red wall and stared at the green bamboo forest on the hill in front of the house. I heard the sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo forest. I looked at the bamboo leaves swaying with the wind. It was beautiful.

The red brick wall built according to the shape of the trees is both artistic and practical.

Although the Su family is in the city, it is in a dense forest. There are no heavy traffic. Every brick wall, mud, flowers and trees has the elegance and freshness of the countryside.

The stone-paved trail winds along the lake and accompanies the lake. The "starting point" is on the village road.

The natural scenery naturally attracts fireflies to gather, and this is also a protection base for fireflies.

Take the lakeside path back to the main road in the village. On the south side of the road are ponds, lakes and distant Dai. On the north side of the road are a variety of residential houses.

This main road also has the name of a star-Xingmeng Road.

"Half price after the epidemic", participate in one, find a day, choose a B & B to stay here for one night. In the morning or evening, face the Egret Lake and enjoy the tranquility of the fields in the courtyard surrounded by bamboo forests. At night, I can still hear the chirping of frogs one after another, which instantly brings me back to my childhood...

The blue-gray brick wall restaurant with a unique shape is simple and fashionable.

This transparent glass house is a combination of Youguang Coffee and Baiyun Library.

The American-style Youguang Cafe is in the same space as Baiyun Library. Several large windows on the white herringbone roof let in the sun. The coffee bar on one side is full of childlike interests, and the bookshelf on the other side stands gracefully against the wall.

There is a projection screen on the wall on one side of the store. Thinking about it at night, it would be a pleasant thing to watch a classic movie with coffee here.

The huge floor-to-ceiling glass allows the sun to always fall on just right, living along the mountains and rivers, and the area near the lake is divided with different floors. The wooden round tables, square tables, and comfortable sofas create a place to live in seclusion. A person holds warm coffee in his hand, turns through a few pages of idle books, and looks up and sees the scenery on the lake. All kinds of insights and nature flow from the bottom of his heart. This place can satisfy the rural life you have long longed for.

On the left hand side of the door, potted plants were placed neatly on wooden flower shelves.

The black iron frame on the right hand side is a dazzling array of cultural and creative products.

The sky is blue and white clouds are floating, the white main building, the blue cultural and creative block door, the blue staircase, and the blue and white main color are clean and refreshing.

The dreamy starry staircase

Follow the starry staircase all the way up the mountain. On both sides of the stairs are unique B & Bs.

Climb on a large platform and see a small courtyard surrounded by white walls and wooden piles. One of the main buildings in the small courtyard is also made of white wooden window frames, an original ecological tone.

This is a "mountain forest" that integrates B & Bs, cafes and bars. Yue."

The small courtyard is just right and carefully arranged bonsai. The beauty of the B & B is vividly displayed in every small detail.

A pink peach blossom in the white world is particularly eye-catching.

A simple courtyard

Continuing up the ramp, most of the chic B & Bs are mainly white, making me feel like I am in the clouds in a trance.

The whitewashed houses with white walls and brick tiles are hidden in the green. In the simple pastoral style, you can feel every careful detail and every creative element.

Walking in Sujia Town, every rural building is unique and just right. With the charm of countryside + cultural creativity, everything is so natural and creative. It seems that there is no duplication at all, but it is enough for your heart to inhabit here.

The B & Bs here are all carefully designed and have a nice name. This tall factory-like B & B is called Time Lane.

The side facade of the building is all-glass structure, which closely conforms to nature.

Leisure tables and chairs are placed on the spacious platform, and the sun is right. The warm sunshine creates a warm harbor. Come here and give yourself a leisurely afternoon tea time. Enjoy quiet thinking alone or have tea and chat with sisters to catch up with each other. No matter how busy life is, remember to enjoy this moment of tranquility!

"Thinking about how you can live if you don't have it?" This is a song by Li Zongsheng. I have always liked Li Zongsheng very much, and his songs sing all the emotions of life. This is a B & B named after Li Zongsheng's song-Life He·Mountain Residence.

No matter which angle you look at it, it looks like you like it.

In Xuanshe Xinghe, the B & B is large and has more rooms.

You don't have the conditions to walk into every B & B here, but the appearance of these B & Bs is worth your careful viewing. With admiration, along the road, whether wide or narrow, admire it one by one. Every time you walk in it is like walking into another world.

The white houses and the bricks on the road are also white, a simple and elegant picture. It seemed as if he was at the end of a white cloud.

The "cloud" is floating because the epidemic is also sparsely populated here, which adds a bit of cloud mystery to the place.

Finally, we still have to follow the starry staircase back to the "mortal world"

Wuluojian is a B & B that integrates catering, accommodation, birthday parties, and multi-functional conference hall.

The ground paved with several shapes of stone on the ground appears vivid and rich. Stepping on the beautiful ground and finally returning to the "world".

Return to Xingmeng Road. An all-glass coffee house surrounded by stone walls. Isn't it the beauty of the moment to read quietly here, express love for the mountains and rivers, smell the flowers, and blow the small wind? Sitting idly in front of the window on a sunny day, when you are lucky, you may be able to see egrets flying over the lake.

In the village, not only the walls, but also the stairs, there are lively or interesting graffiti left, and even the roads are painted with beautiful pictures. In beautiful paintings, time slows down. Whether it's with a lover or walking alone, the beautiful village and the pleasant sunshine will allow your body and mind to be completely relaxed.

Pushe Qingshui B & B is facing Egret Lake. The B & B uses stones and raw wood materials to give the original flavor.

When you go out, you will see the green green mountains everywhere, and you will see the secluded egret lake when you stroll. This kind of environment, which is like a peach blossom garden, is really enjoyable.

Ponds, flowers and plants, wooden houses, and boats are dotted between the mountains and rivers just right, setting off the green bamboos in the mountains.

Groups of ducks and geese jubilant in the lake stir up circles of ripples on the lake.

Egret Lake-a fresh place outside the bustling city. Get close to them, and your soul is deeply washed by the blue water of the lake and the verdant mountains and forests not far away. In this picturesque scenery, everyone wants to empty their hearts here and retrieve their original self.

At the end of the Su family is the world of kayaking players, a kayaking club. Due to limited conditions, this is a sport that is not very popular. I didn't expect there to be such a club here.

To paddle a kayaking towards the rapids of Egret Lake requires both courage and skill. Every time I see kayaking, I think of an amateur kayaking enthusiast's understanding of the sport: it's the sport that fits most closely with nature. Yes, this sentence is the best interpretation of the sport. When you are on the lake, with the movement of your body and the paddling double oars, you look up at the sky and look down at the lake. People, boats, and nature merge into one.

Egret Lake has a wide area. Because it is surrounded by mountains and the water surface is calm, it is very suitable for this sport.

On the shores of Egret Lake, the secret village of Su's family is a scene of green mountains and clear waters. There are residential buildings in the village, surrounded by vegetation and water. You can see mountains and water here. It has both a simple pastoral style and modern cultural and creative elements.

A once unknown town. The town is very comfortable, surrounded by mountains, rivers and forests, because of the B & Bs, patches of bamboo forest, lakes of water, and patches of countryside. A group of young people built this dream town here. They redesigned and renovated the originally dilapidated old house into restaurants, cafes, galleries, handicraft workshops and specialty shops with a strong literary atmosphere. In the end, we have formed what we now see as a new rural creative town with the characteristic B & B experience as the core and integrating rural cultural creativity, pastoral activities, and natural education.

If you don't want to leave the excitement of the city too far and want to live a peaceful rural life, then come to Nanjing Sujia Cultural and Creative Town! There are four elements here: fields, forests, water and residences. This place is indeed different. It is very literary, artistic, creative, but very rural. I will stay here again for the night, pick a lakeside B & B, and experience idyllic life. Sleep with the sound of frogs at night, and wake up in the morning to hear the song of birds.
