The reinforced concrete, busy traffic, and busy work in big cities always make people feel depressed... I always hope that every weekend and holiday, I will have a paradise in my heart, away from these troubles, and enjoy a leisurely time in life. This season when flowers are in full bloom, in Fengxian, Shanghai, I found the "Taoyuan" in my heart-Wufang
The lovely pink color is full of my vision that has been eclipsed for a long time; walking on the field path, a natural whisper comes in my ears; the sun is warmly sprinkled on me, reading a book, tasting tea, and enjoying a tranquility. Time in the village... Wufang is the Taoyuan life that I aspire to. It is no longer the old countryside. It is already a new way of life, a new countryside with simplicity and literature and art. When you come here, everyone can find the life they aspire to.
After two months of the epidemic dwelling at home, finally, I couldn't resist the temptation of spring and drove here to find spring. Coinciding with peach blossoms in full bloom, we have the most wonderful spring of the year ~
Wufang may be relatively unfamiliar to many old Shanghainese. This is a rural area located in Fengxian. As one of the first villages to be renovated, it has now become a veritable Peach Blossom Land. The first impression when I came to Wufang was that I saw peach forests everywhere. Peach blossoms had already blossomed brightly pink. Behind the peach forests was this village with white walls and black tiles. The village retains the appearance of the previous house and has been renovated. Walking on the trails here, you can feel the comfort of rural life.
The century-old Sanzhi Hall by the peach forest bank, after its renovation, tells every visitor the history of Wufang and is also the most important meeting hall for the villagers.
The village is not big. The outermost part is the driveway. It takes about half an hour to walk around the periphery. Traveling through the village, you can feel the tranquility of isolation. The most agile thing in the entire Wu room is this water. The dense rivers, sometimes accompanied and sometimes separated, calmly shuttling between fields and houses, nourishing every inch of life.
The calm water reflects the world on the ground. The years are quiet, and occasionally a breeze blows, arousing waves of ripples
I came across a river and parked a black-covered boat. I thought that if I could sit on the bow of the boat, it would be like hiding by a peach forest and enjoying a little fun in the countryside.
The stone roads that stretch into the small river are small boats to go home. They were once one of the most important means of transportation in rural life. Although boating is no longer in the village today, they leave us a little room for daydreaming.
If there is a river, there will be bridges... Wufang has many bridges, each with its own style. The most famous one is the footbridge, which has a large "herringbone" shape that connects the three banks. Although it was a bridge built later, it is a major feature of Wufang Village.
Of course, there are also bridges accompanied by ancient lanterns, and the background is a peach forest.
The unique shape of the bridge is like a pan flute. With its undulating gap, you can see through the beautiful scenery like a peach garden at a glance.
Today's villages add a lot of agility to the ancient houses. The concise watercolor paintings allow everyone who comes here to feel the customs of the water town everywhere, giving each wall its own flavor. Even in those seasons when peach blossoms are not in full bloom in the future, you can always seem to have the company of peach blossoms.
Wood-framed doors and windows, half-open spaces, unlockable spring colors, peach blossoms protruding out of the windows...
Deep in the grass and flowers, the thatched houses with a slightly primitive and pure wood feel suddenly feel like they live in seclusion. What is unimaginable is that this is actually a toilet, and even the toilet has its own attribute of "Taoyuan". Later, I learned that this was one of the ten most beautiful toilets in Shanghai.
Stroll between the countryside and the fields at will, and you will find new discoveries everywhere, which are about life, about the countryside, about flowers and plants...
The quaint rural houses will also incorporate modern architectural styles. The fully transparent sun room will be a kind of spatial design that modern people like very much. Unexpectedly, Wu houses will also have it ~
While walking, I suddenly saw my grandma sewing clothes seriously in the open wooden window. It seemed as if I had returned to my childhood in an instant, those scenes in Shanghai alleys full of life.
It is as if peach blossoms bloom all over the village overnight, and the most beautiful spring has arrived. Why are there so many peach blossoms in Wufang? This is also related to the revitalization of Wufang. Wufang's revitalization strategy happens to be to study and grow yellow peaches. All the peach forests here are also peach forests of yellow peaches. It is also known as the "Hometown of Yellow Peaches in China." As soon as you enter the village, you will see the peach blossom forest that stretches for miles.
The pink peach blossoms match the plain village house, which is just right.
Listening to the introduction of the young brother in the village, you can also see the skills of planting peach blossoms from the peach forest. Indeed, the peach forest is some neat and some messy, which is also related to the planting techniques!
Compared with the cherry blossoms that bloom in the same season, peach blossoms are the most beautiful in color, moderate in height, and highly ornamental. Even if it rains, it will not fall too much. The viewing time can be around April 10
Of course, the planning in the village is very good. Not only are peach blossoms, but there are also various flowers in different colors, high and low, but they have a sense of color hierarchy.
The ends of the peach blossoms are relatively pink, and the petals become lighter, even white. The stamens are small and numerous, making them small and cute.
The pink color is not strong, but it is just right. I originally thought that the peach blossoms we enjoyed were generally peaches, but later I learned that Wufang was full of yellow peach blossoms. However, the shelf life of yellow peaches is relatively short, so they are quickly made into cans after maturity. When it comes to canned yellow peaches, the probability of us eating them is indeed very high. They are found in cakes and desserts. I didn't expect the flowers of yellow peaches to be so cute ~
It's best not to enter a private peach forest to admire peach blossoms. After all, it's not easy to grow peach trees. On the one hand, the soil is quite slippery, and there are also a few peach trees outside the garden. I'm satisfied to pat them.
I have deeply experienced the breath of spring here. This is also the first time since the epidemic that I have been so close to nature, breathing in a big mouthful of fresh air and enjoying such beautiful peach blossoms.
I believe that every girl hopes to come here to take good-looking photos. Here, I would like to recommend a few unique Internet celebrity photo spots (developed by myself). 1. The wupeng boat and small boat in front of Taolin are docked on the shore. Adjust the angle to shoot, and you can take the feeling of rowing a boat to admire peach blossoms. It is very elegant ~
2. The stone road on the small river The stone road was originally an interesting design for the small river. It can be played with water. The river water is divided into two layers here. With the houses between the villages, it can capture the playfulness of playing between villages ~
3. This panoramic room with floor-to-ceiling windows in Internet celebrity B & B is the most beautiful room in Internet celebrity B & B. There are endless photos taken here. Of course, if you want to take photos, you have to book this room ~
4. The docks and stone roads along the river where boats were once parked are now good places close to the water. When there is no wind, the lake water is like a mirror, allowing beautiful reflections to be taken
5. The arches of the secret garden, white walls and black tiles, draw a painting of Jiangnan gardens, and I also want to be included in the painting and become part of this beautiful scenery.
6. It is said that you can take photos here, so you can have luck in peach blossoms ~ Whether it is true or not, I believe it anyway ~
In the rustic rural building, there are 180-degree floor-to-ceiling windows viewing rooms. No matter where you are in the room, you can enjoy the peach blossoms in your eyes. If you ask me what it feels like to live in the scenery at this time, I believe I can answer you.
I have always liked floor-to-ceiling windows and enjoyed all kinds of beautiful scenery from an unobstructed perspective. Now I have the entire peach forest in Wufang. On the tatami seat, make a pot of hot tea and taste tea and peach blossoms. This is the so-called Zen meaning
This is Wufang's B & B-Banshan·Yi. Just like her name, she lives in literature and art and has the most beautiful scenery. The simplicity of the appearance is not limited to the style of living. It is the kind of isolation and enjoyment that modern people want ~
The bathroom of the view room is also a viewing position, and enjoying the view while taking a bath is another enjoyment.
There is a small open-air mat in the independent space outside the door. The slightly cool spring breeze is a good choice during the hours when the sun is most shining.
The overall style of the B & B is also very pleasing. The wooden path on the first floor is accompanied by water, and the room on one side is also a fully transparent room. The glass floor-to-ceiling windows make the B & B full of modern design style.
There are many caves in the backyard of the B & B. Don't miss it. A lake, a three-curved bridge, a small rockery, and a small view of Jiangnan gardens suddenly appear in the village, giving a surprise of getting a treasure.
I have always liked spring very much, not only because everything recovers and a hundred flowers bloom, but also because with spring, there will be the taste of spring. In spring in Jiangnan, there are many flavors worth tasting. Although Wufang Village is not large, it is "complete". When you come to Wufang, you must come and taste the spring taste of Shanghai.
Spring is the season for spring bamboo shoots. Because the bamboo shoots are tender and tender, they can be used for cold dishes, stir-fried, or put into soup. However, no matter what, the crisp taste is the most beautiful taste that spring bamboo shoots bring to us.
Pickled and fresh is a must-have soup for every household in Shanghai in spring. To use a Shanghai saying to describe it,"Fresh eyebrows are about to fall off"! The soup made from bamboo shoots, fresh meat and bacon is stewed together with low heat. The soup is white and thick, and the delicious soup cannot stop. So in this season, spring bamboo shoots are one of the important protagonists! The ingredients put in pickled duxian will be slightly different in each household. In addition to spring bamboo shoots and salty meat, leaf knots, other vegetables, etc. may also be placed.
Farm vegetable stir-fried, there is no need to introduce this. After all, pure and pollution-free farm green leafy vegetables are the main product here
Yams and beef grains. Beef grains are a dish with a high incidence of Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine. The thick oil and red sauce have a slight sweetness. The beef is scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, and has a rich taste. Coupled with refreshing yams, there is no greasy feeling at all.
Our fish-flavored eggplant is not spicy, but suitable for the tastes of Jiangnan people.
Braised eggplant, a home-cooked dish, has the flavor of eggplant preserved well.
Fish and river fish are stewed indiscriminately. The fish platter under the thick oil and red sauce tastes delicious. They are the best among fish and are very good for rice.
In addition to dinner, Wu Fang's snacks cannot be missed. These are snacks called "Ta Bing", which are only available in the village ~
Coffee is a must-have for modern people, and sunshine is indispensable. Therefore, Wu Fang also has his own cafe. Wouldn't it be beautiful to enjoy a cup of fragrant coffee outdoors with peach blossoms?
Desserts with yellow peach characteristics will definitely be loved by girls, and the dessert shop is the best place for afternoon tea.
There are also many snacks made with yellow peaches in Wufang Village, which are also specialties here. The strong flavor of yellow peaches is my favorite ~
In addition to the enjoyment of comfort, you can also have the fun of chasing. On one side of the village is an outdoor base, where you can not only play popular real-life cs, but also play offensive and defensive arrows. You must be curious what offensive and defensive arrows are? I had doubts at first, but it wasn't until the moment I played that I suddenly fell in love with this interesting project.
This is also a game played by teams like CS. Wear masks, bows and arrows, and find the right target to attack in the base. It combines archery with real-life actual combat. It is very interesting and has a bit of a practical experience in martial arts dramas. Of course, this arrow is very safe. The arrow is soft and will not hurt anyone.
This offensive and defensive arrow not only tests arm strength, but also tests technology, reaction ability, etc. It will be fun to practice with your friends ~
The ponds reflect the village, which is a fishing paradise. Early in the morning, many old masters were already preparing fishing gear by the pond to "start fishing" at any time.
The surrounding area of the fish pond is picturesque, and cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Sitting in such a scenery and fishing, even if you wait for a long time, it will be a kind of enjoyment ~
Professional fishing is really different. The equipment is complete, and one can be caught in a few minutes on average. I really admire it. However, most people may need to be patient for a long time. After all, it is not easy to take the bait ~
Wufang Village is located in Qingcun Town, Fengxian District, Shanghai City, 150 meters west of Puxing Highway. You can navigate the "Wufang Reception Center" by driving by yourself and drive 150 meters west of Puxing Highway from Central or North-South Elevated Road. Get off at the Fengxian New City Station of Metro Line 5 and take a taxi.
