My friend said that I have seen a lot of pictures and pictures of my hometown Changshu, and I always want to come once, I always return: wait for autumn to come! Autumn Changshu is very comfortable, mainly, there are Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs to eat!

You may not know that Changshu Shajiabang is the largest and best water in the 18 bays of Yangcheng Lake, so it is also the famous Yangcheng Lake hairy crab producing area.

Autumn wind, crab feet itch. Autumn Shajiabang, the most jiangnan, the most popular food, when Yangcheng Lake hairy crab.

The old Shajiabang people, born by the lake, formed the traditional fishing industry of Shajiabang.

The 2019 Yangcheng Lake hairy crab fishing festival is on September 23, just before the National Day. The best season to eat hairy crabs has come during the Kukin Festival, right after the fishing Festival.

In fact, share Shajiabang too many times, all year round, spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Because here, can best represent Changshu. Many distant friends may never have heard of the small town of Changshu, but when it comes to Shajiabang, they can say "Aqing sister".

This time, it starts with the food.

In Shajiabang scenic area inside the Shasilong fishing paradise, you can do a water village fisherman, fishing and catching crabs. Get in the boat. I'll take you to the tip. Perhaps only native Jiangnan people, know what is called "dragon tip".

There are many floats in the water, and you can choose one at will, whether it is harvested or not, it is God's will.

This season, the dragon tip is full of hairy crabs. And these caught hairy crabs, can bring back oh! Isn't it a good deal?

By the end of September, entertaining friends, there are few hairy crabs on the table, can not be justified. Large hairy crabs are usually tied up and steamed.

Without any seasoning, the crab meat is delicious, with a hint of sweet.

Eat crab season, can not eat persimmon, it is best not to drink beer, open a bottle of rice wine is best.

That night, I stayed with three or five friends in the Shajiabang Scenic area - Jiangnan Luhua Bay, dinner at Luhua Bay restaurant, drinking and talking, eating a huge Yangcheng Lake hairy crab, suddenly feel that life is complete.

Nine females and ten males, each year always starts with the female crab eating season.

Shajiabang 爊 chicken is also a local specialty and must be ordered on the table.

On the old Hengjing Street in Shajiabang, 爊 chicken is always popular with tourists. Almost everyone has one. The air is filled with the unique fragrance of 爊 chicken.

Jiangnan dishes, most pay attention to a fresh word. No heavy oil sauce. Yes, it's the real taste of the food. A simple basin of salt river shrimp, I can eat half.

Most of the ingredients of Jiangnan, "eight fresh water", are listed in autumn. Water stem, lotus root, cress, chicken head rice, mushrooms, water chestnuts, water shield, water chestnut... Here, you can eat almost anything.

Come to Shajiabang scenic area, in addition to eating Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, hand-cranked boat must sit once.

"Shajiabang, the most beautiful is the reed", the small boat shuttles in the reed maze, the mood of Jiangnan is full.

If you like small Bridges and flowing water, want to feel the original Jiangnan, but do not want to be crowded in Zhouzhuang, Wuzhen, Xitang and other ancient towns of the crowd, then, live in Shajiabang in the Jiangnan Luhua Bay!

Chunlai Teahouse, Aqing's wife, Diao Deyi.... This once hot land of Anti-Japanese War has become a holiday destination integrating red culture, traditional folk culture, food culture and wetland culture.

Navigate Shajiabang Scenic Spot, park your car in the parking lot, play here for a day or two, without going out of the scenic spot. You only need to book the guest house in the scenic area, and there is no guideline, just walk around.

Follow the long avenue to the heart of the Shajiabang Scenic area. Here, there is a boutique B&B: Jiangnan Luhua Bay.

Most of the rooms in Luhua Bay, south of the Yangtze River, live near the water, scattered scattered, do not disturb each other. Autumn snow floor, Water moon floor, Dihua Floor, Bamboo forest Hall, Hanfen floor... Each room has a nice name.

After checking in, I took the room card of the Autumn Snow Building, and first entered a small yard, bamboo fence, quiet swing, and cicadas chirping in early autumn. Something just right.

That night, I lived on the second floor of the Autumn Snow Building, a spacious room with a slanted high roof, like the old house in my childhood.

Modern Chinese decoration style, low-key, comfortable and restrained. According to the five-star hotel services, bedding, toiletries are of high quality, the details are very careful.

Go out for a stroll, the calm water reflects the white walls and black tiles and the blue sky and white clouds. Away from the noise, everything in the city, as if far away.

It's like an undisturbed hideaway.

I remember the last time I came here, it was summer when lotus was in full bloom. After some time, the lotus leaves will also be cut off.

A corner, a long corridor, simple elegant minimalist, full of scenery. This time, you're by my side.

From the Jiangnan Luhua Bay through a bridge, you will come to the Shajiabang scenic area in the Hengjing Old Street. This is a favorite spot in the entire scenic area.

Walking quietly in the corridor, every frame is very beautiful.

On the old opera stage in the old street, sometimes you will come across "Granny Sha" singing the opera "Shajiabang" in a straight accent.

Stop and go, take pictures. If you live in Luhua Bay, you don't have to rush at all.

In the old street of Hengjing, there is a local snack bar called "PI." Stuffing meets swinging." Steamed rice dumplings, wontons, dumplings... Every bite is a taste of childhood. It's a really down-to-earth place to stop by for lunch the next day.

There is also a Luhua film cafe on the old street, you can go sit down and have a cup of coffee. This is a movie theme cafe, with a small courtyard. Up the stairs, outside the Windows of the second floor, is the favorite corner of the house.

A cup of coffee, three or five friends.

If you want to know the story of Shajiabang, you can go to see a live drama of "Ludang Fenghuo", which tells the story of the army and people in Shajiabang area united as one, breaking the enemy's trick of sealing the lake, and successfully covering the wounded and sick of the New Fourth Army.

Incisively and vividly show Aqing's wit, sincerely sigh that this woman is not simple. That part of the water airship stunt, quite wonderful.

At night, Luhua Bay, south of the Yangtze River, is extremely quiet. After eating hairy crabs, take a walk together, frogs sound, the moon is bright.

Suddenly feel that this is the most beautiful time in Shajiabang, you can enjoy such a quiet.

National Day holiday is coming soon, if you have not planned to go where to play, come to Shajiabang! Here, there is your dream of Jiangnan.
