"Wisteria hangs on cloud trees, and flowers are suitable for spring; dense leaves and hidden singing birds, and the fragrance leaves beautiful people." There were no birds or beauties. Just for the romantic spring created by this string of purple wind chimes, we got up early and went to the Wisteria Garden in Jiading, Shanghai.
It was built to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the friendly exchanges between Jiading District and Kazucho, Okayama Prefecture, Japan and the fifth anniversary of the establishment of friendly relations. It was opened to the public in May 1999. The layout not only has the characteristics of Chinese landscape gardens, but also incorporates some Japanese gardening styles.
The path is winding, and the trees are full of evening cherry blossoms are blooming in the wind to guide...
Admission certificate is really not easy to get. The people of Jiading are absolutely first-class in their prevention and control awareness and measures: download the "Shanghai Jiading App" to make an appointment, check the ID card at the first pass, check the health code at the second pass, check the appointment registration at the third pass, measure the body temperature at the fourth pass, and equip each pass carefully.
The advantage of getting early is that there are 55 people in the park.
Due to the epidemic, only the wisteria promenade that surrounds the garden was opened in the small garden, and other large lawns were cordoned off.
Use the fragments from "Wisteria Waterfall" written by contemporary female writer "Zong Pu" to describe wisteria.
...... I have never seen a vine blooming so vigorously. I saw a brilliant lavender like a waterfall hanging down from the sky, but I couldn't see its origin or its ultimate end. It's just the deep and shallow purple that seems to be flowing, laughing, and growing constantly. There were dots of silver light on the large purple banner, like splashing water. When I looked carefully, I realized that it was the lightest part of every purple flower, teasing each other with the sun.
"I am blooming!" They're laughing. "I am blooming!" They shout. The spring red has faded here, there are no crowds to admire flowers, and there are no bees and butterflies. All they have is the shining and blooming vines of this tree. Flowers are strung next to each other, one after another, pushing each other, so lively and lively!
Each spike is in full bloom at the top and waiting for release at the bottom. The color becomes light at the top and dark at the bottom, as if the purple had precipitated into the tender and smallest bud. Every blooming flower is like a small fully stretched sail with a pointed bottom cabin under the sail, and the cabin is bulging; it is also like a smile that cannot help but smile, as if it is about to bloom. What kind of fairy dew jade is there? I leaned forward and wanted to pick one.
But I didn't pick it. I have no habit of picking flowers. I just stood and stared at it, feeling that this Wisteria Waterfall was not only in front of me, but also slowly flowing through my heart. As it flowed, it took away the doubts about life and death and the pain of disease that had been pressing on my heart. I am immersed in the brilliance of these dense flowers. Nothing else exists for the time being, except for the tranquility of spirit and the joy of life...
In addition to the most common purple color, wisteria also has a satin white color.
As well as the rare variety "Black Dragon Wisteria" introduced by the staff.
The people taking pictures had long guns and short guns.
I am using a mobile phone to view the beautiful scenery.
In cloudy weather, we can only wait for the favor of the sun. We chase light and shadow with the sun, and capture the brilliance of wisteria in a short while while the sun is looking forward.
A small park with a little Japanese elements.
Xianchang Creative Park
I don't know Han Tianheng Art Museum in the renovated factory building. I am only interested in the renovated building.
The building retains the original structure of the old factory building, and the brick-red chimney and serrated roof all reflect the designer's commemoration of industrial civilization.
"Zhong Shuge", one of the most beautiful bookstores in China, has also settled here in Jiading.
Have you seen Jiading's characteristic "bamboo carving" and "seal" elements? The verses and articles on the grid are like engraved seals, while the vertical and horizontal lines are like the exquisite carving and exquisiteness of Jiading's bamboo carving, conveying a strong literary and artistic atmosphere.
In fact, I feel that "Zhongshu Pavilion" is becoming more and more repetitive. Except for the first "Zhongshu Pavilion" in Songjiang, which gave me a bright feeling when I walked in, walking in here is like walking into Minhang's "Zhongshu Pavilion".
Zhou Bridge Scenic Area
"Fahua Pagoda", also known as Jinsha Pagoda, was built during the opening of the Southern Song Dynasty (1205 - 1207). "Jinsha Sunset" is one of Jiading's cultural attractions. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the calligrapher Lou Jian, one of the four gentlemen in Jiading, inscribed the plaque "Fahua Pagoda". Unfortunately, we arrived in the morning.
There is a legend about building a tower in Jiading.
The old street is being repaired, and the completed part is completely different from what I visited in previous years.
With white walls and black tiles, independent Jiangnan courtyards open up foreign-style restaurants.
Chinese music beats with romantic French customs.
The stone cracks on the Tangge Road are full of falling catkins, and someone under the Wisteria Corridor is interpreting the legacy of Tang Yun...
Nanxiang Old Street
We were willing to go to the "Nanxiang Xiaolanguan" main store located in Nanxiang Old Street, which was crowded with people and could not even park our cars at the entrance of "Guyu Garden".
Nanxiang Xiaolongbao began in the tenth year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty and was produced in Nanxiang Town, Jiading County, Shanghai. According to the "Jiading County Sustained Annals","... steamed buns are available in tight fermentation and loose fermentation. The tight yeast is made of clear water and flour, with thin skin and many fillings. The Nanxiang maker is the most famous, and many other places imitate it, called Xiangshi..." Because the dough sheet is made without fermentation, it is characterized by "thin skin and many fillings", so it is famous in Jiading. It was originally named "Nanxiang Big Meat Steamed Bun", later called "Nanxiang Big Steamed Bun", then called "Gujianyuan Xiaolong", and now called "Nanxiang Xiaolong". Fold more than 14 steamed buns each, and make ten with one ounce of flour.
More than a century has passed, and "Nanxiang Cage Making Crafts" has been listed as one of the first intangible cultural heritage in Shanghai City. In the city center, there is a "Nanxiang Steamed Bun Shop" in the Temple of the City God. In Taipei and Tokyo, it is "Ding Taifeng", and in New York, it is "Lu Mingchun", all of which use Nanxiang Cage making craftsmanship.
On the streets of Nanxiang, there are "Nanxiang Xiaolang Restaurants" all the way. My best friend said, Oh, right, the Xiaolang in Nanxiang, what should we call it if it's not Nanxiang Xiaolang? Whether it tastes good or not, and which one is authentic, only the taster knows it.
The old streets in the south of the Yangtze River are generally the same. When there are few people and when the spring is warm and the flowers are in full bloom, they can always feel the peace and tranquility of the years.
guyi garden
It was built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. It was originally named "Yi Garden", which is derived from the sentence "Yi Yi of green bamboo" in the Book of Songs. In the 11th year of Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (1746), it was renamed "Guyu Garden". It is one of the five largest classical gardens in Shanghai and one of the oldest Range Rovers in Shanghai.
It is said that the peonies are now blooming here. When I entered the garden, I went straight to the theme and looked for peonies. After taking a lot of photos, I found that there were some flowers and set up a sign "peony" in front of it. Only then did I realize that I couldn't tell the difference between peony and peony.
The gorgeous flower of "only the true color of peony".
It is estimated that except in professional botanical gardens, it is rare for Shanghai to gather so many peonies and peonies.
There are also strong fire-like rhododendrons, dark fragrant and elegant woody trees, and independent and aloof bamboo forests...
Time is limited and mountains and rivers are merciful. I hope that in this April day on earth, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe.
