Autumn is crisp, and nothing is more enjoyable than a road trip.

The impression of autumn is always exceptionally short and romantic, it seems to slip away carelessly, followed by the winter wind.

Autumn October, is the best season to embrace autumn, in order to live up to the rare autumn, I drove to the ancient town of Li Li, opened a short and relaxed time.

Compared with the crowded National Day, the ancient town after the National Day restored the original quiet, simple streets, silent buildings, lazy cats, compared to the happiness of the heart, this fine romance is more people can not extricate themselves.

From Hangzhou drive more than two hours, you will come to the old town of Li Li. I can't remember how many times I came to Li Li, but each time there is a different harvest, the only constant is its quiet, is the memory of the most beautiful interpretation of Jiangnan water town. Located in the southeast of Wujiang District of Suzhou, Lili Ancient Town is located at the intersection of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. With unique geographical location, Lili Ancient Town has become the first choice for people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai to drive. Compared with Zhouzhuang, it has a lot more quiet, like a hermit who is aloof from worldly life, exuding the natural beauty of the temperament.

Walking into the ancient town of Li Li, the breath of time is coming. The Jiangnan buildings with white walls and black tiles, the mossy stone steps, and the quiet and long lane tell the old story of the thousand-year-old town, and everything slows down.

The ancient town of Li Li is based on water. The tortuous gurgling water divides the town into two parts. The buildings on the other side of the river look at each other, seemingly unrelated, but inseparable. The old trees on the river bank are slightly yellow, stubbornly retaining the last hint of green, sparkling, the shadow of the trees and the shadow of the building reflect each other, outlining a flowing picture, fresh and elegant.

Walking slowly along the concave and convex stone road, each step appears to have a special sense of belonging, although it is not a hometown, there is a memory of the simplicity of the hometown, which makes people feel warm. There is no overwhelming shops and dazzling signs, in the same kind of ancient town, is undoubtedly a clear stream, it is this pure, let many people linger.

Through the vicissitudes of the wooden door, the eye is the scene of the old life. Faded walls, yellow tiles, thick cutting board, familiar and unfamiliar, let people instantly cross back to childhood, as if back to grandma's home, long lost moved to my heart. The ancient town retains more than 100 lanes, each one hiding countless fresh stories.

Then forward, the mural on one side is particularly eye-catching, the picture is liflike, and the life picture of Li Li alone leaps onto the paper, becoming a rare beautiful landscape. Mottled wooden fence, the cat lazily crawling, seems to have been accustomed to strangers, as if blind, and the town in general, to enjoy their own comfortable moment.

Come here, in addition to sit a rowing boat, feel the freedom of the long water, but also must taste the Zhang Ji begonia cake, as the ten Wujiang snacks, the taste is impeccable, small begonia cake, eat a thick nostalgia.

Overlooking the whole town, you can't see any bustling shadows, ancient buildings snuggle up to each other, and the clear city river flows quietly, reflecting thousands of years.

After feeling the casual quiet beauty of the ancient town, then came to the Liuyue Museum, the distance is only a few hundred meters, three minutes by car, which is probably the benefit of self-driving, stop at will. As early as before coming to Li Li, I was interested in this unique museum, which was opened by an American collector after 60 years, Mr. Du Weiming, who spent more than 40 years collecting more than 40,000 exhibits, and "Six Joy" is also derived from the six senses of people: vision, smell, taste, hearing, touch and intuition, which is enough to witness Mr. Du Weiming's love for Chinese culture.

When I first saw Liuyue Museum, I was attracted by its unique architectural appearance. Compared with traditional museums, the design of Liuyue Museum is very bold, with large areas of bright colors and ancient walls colliding with each other, which makes people's eyes bright at the same time, but also influenced by aesthetics.

Like its exterior, the design of the interior of the museum is also unusual, where you can't see the mottled old walls, replaced by high saturation of bright colors, but surprisingly, these exhibits with a sense of age are wrapped in a large area of bright colors, surprisingly, there is no sense of harmony, art and retro against each other, exudes a unique noble temperament.

The museum has a large area, 18,000 square meters of large space with more than 30 different types of galleries, showing the glory days of the past. In the museum, you can see all kinds of exhibits, statues, ancient beds, plaques, abacus, hanging pictures, etc. These ancient objects come from all corners of the world, some even unheard of, and now they are vividly presented in front of you, as if you have entered a journey through time and space, making people dizzying.

Wandering around the Liuyue Museum, you can even see the scene of the old wedding, the exquisite gift box, the time-worn sedan chair, instantly pull people back to the last century, for a time, as if the old objects that have been sleeping for a long time have been awakened, whispering in my ear, telling their exclusive stories. Unlike other museums, the exhibits here are not isolated in glass cases, but are displayed in front of people's eyes at close range, and they can feel their temperature, which is more fresh and down-to-earth.

Walking among them, in addition to feeling the broad and profound Chinese culture, more people are intoxicated by the exquisite workmanship and artistic aesthetics of the exhibits, each display is a fresh bright spot, some after nearly a thousand years, still do not change the color, let people have to admire the painstaking work of the ancient craftsmen. Compared with traditional museums, Liuyue Museum has more memory points, which is worth visiting.

Compared with walking into time, what is more irresistible is living in time. In addition to opening the Liuyue Museum, Mr. Du Weiming also built the Liuyue Zhuang Museum Hotel next to it. Compared with the domestic hotels with the same style, Liuyue Zhuang is unique. The style continues the Liuyue Museum, with the same artistic sense as before, and the appearance is far away. Pushing the door in, it seemed that there was a special magic to pull me, as if opening the door to a new world.

This classic and modern collision of the hotel, to meet everyone's exquisite pursuit of beauty, even not interested in antique trendy young people, but also absolutely can not resist this natural artistic beauty. The hotel is made of stacked old bricks of different shades, the appearance is not powdered, and the main tone is cyan gray, showing the most original architectural beauty.

The design of the lobby interprets luxury to the extreme, with lifelike exquisite depiction, timeless retro furniture, and what is more amazing is the exquisite atmosphere of caisson wood carvings overhead. The lighting is interwoven with red and green, exaggerated but not tacky, lighting up the entire space and showing historical flavor.

Up the stairs, the old wooden railing is slightly mottled, the wall on one side is vivid, and the hanging pictures are lifelike, which makes people can't take their eyes off. Moving to the room, the layout of the room is very exquisite, spacious and not empty, the traditional Chinese aesthetic play just right, make people feel comfortable. The furniture in the room is highly valuable antiques, exquisite carved wooden wardrobes, bright retro sofas, and a beautiful carved murals, not only the carving is exquisite, even the color is also complement each other, walking among them, where the eyes are passing the beauty.

The lighting design of the hotel is unique, and a large number of lively bright colors neutralize the obsolescence of the antique itself, making the entire space vibrant, completely without the feeling of bleak and gloomy, and living more comfortable. The style of the bathroom is refreshing, white tiles and peacock blue walls are set off each other, and a large number of wooden elements are embellished, rendering the artistic atmosphere to the extreme, if you are an art lover, you will be immersed in it.

The toilets here have a different style, a punk rock taste, adding a bit of a different element to the hotel, making people even more in love with this mysterious place. The restaurant is the characteristic of the hotel, bringing together various Su Bang dishes, red and blue lights, classical and delicate tables, highlighting the full sense of ceremony. This is not so much a hotel, but more like a small art gallery, step by step, make people feel nostalgic.
