This is a special trip, as a native of Jiangsu, I have been to many scenic spots in the province, but I have not walked the red route. This time, by chance, we from Suzhou to Nantong, Yancheng, this is a journey that does not forget the original heart.

Suzhou Zhongshantang Street is a famous historical and cultural street in China, known as "the first ancient street in China". Visitors to Suzhou, basically will not miss here. Shantang Street has always been called "the epitome of old Suzhou and the window of Wu culture".

Water town Suzhou, many rivers, many Bridges, Shantang Street is the most Suzhou Street Qu Shui lane characteristics. After the rain, the air is full of the fragrance of flowers and earth, which is refreshing.

When Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty visited Jiangnan during Renwu year, he wrote "Seeking victory in the Mountain Pond" in Qili Mountain Pond, which is now protected by the imperial stone pavilion beside the Mountain Pond Bridge. After Qianlong returned to Beijing, he built Suzhou Street in the back lake of the Summer Palace modeled after the Qili Mountain Pond.

Shantang Street Shantang River parallel, stone bridge connecting the two sides of the river, on both sides of the street wall black tile. Today, although we can no longer see the past Ming and Qing dynasties when the cruise ships gathered, every night and song Shantang scenery, but without losing the unique Jiangnan water town caressing and gentle.

The mountain pond river flowing slowly, the boat quietly across, everything is just right, this is Suzhou, is the appearance of Jiangnan.

2. Shajiabang

More than 70 years ago, the wounded and sick of the New Fourth Army hid in the reeds of Changshu, under the cover of the local masses, and fought with the enemy. This story was later translated into the modern Peking Opera Shajiabang and became famous all over the world.

In the afternoon, we came to Changshu Shajiabang scenic area, into the scenic area, I found that once the war of Shajiabang, is now a beautiful wetland park, the lake is clear, the reed tall and graceful.

Suddenly it began to rain, but it did not dampen our enthusiasm at all. Continue to go, you can see the stone monument of Shajiabang.

Entering the Shajiabang Revolutionary History Memorial Hall, the museum displays more than 400 revolutionary historical pictures of Shajiabang during the democratic revolution and more than 40 revolutionary cultural relics, reproducing the touching story of the anti-Japanese army and people in Shajiabang at that time.

Under the guidance of the docents, we watched the pictures reflecting the battle scenes of that year, the weapons used by the soldiers, listened to the anti-Japanese deeds of the heroes, revisited the fearless spirit of the revolutionary martyrs, and accepted a profound and vivid red education.

Reed marshes are the witness of Shajiabang's revolution and the key to victory. Deep in the scenic area, reeds fragrance, crisscross the river port and dense reeds, constitute a narrow, deep, winding winding path here.

Riding a small boat through the reeds, looking around, the eyes are full of dense reeds and similar paths, so that people can not distinguish east, west, north and south. In it, I really realized the resourcefulness and bravery of the New Fourth Army when it turned to the reed.

Before leaving, in front of the ancient stage of Spring Teahouse, listening to Shajiabang excerpts, Aqing's bravery, let us feel the deep love between the army and the people.
