Autumn is cool, it is a good time to go out and see, this year because of the epidemic, basically play in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Suzhou is always favored by Shanghai people because it is so close. Used to basically play in the urban area, last year went to the ancient town of Wujiang, like it very much, so set foot again, went to the "Wu head over tail" said seven town.

journey

DAY1: Qidu Taihu Lake Home Town - Jiang Village Auditorium Kunqu puppet - Jiang Village market - Fei Xiaotong Memorial Hall - Sugar osmanthus made to drink smoked bean tea

DAY2: Qidu Taihu Wetland Park - 0572 Hot Spring Hotel

Seven are Taihu Lake home town

We are traveling by car and it takes about 1.5 hours to arrive from Shanghai. This accommodation was recommended by a local friend, and I had no idea that there was such a beautiful place in the area. Home IP of Beijing Travel Group is becoming more and more rich, located in Wujiang Qidu Rujia Town rural club, covers an area of more than 200 acres, only one and a half hours from Shanghai, very suitable for company group construction and family vacation.

There are many types of accommodation, including courtyard villas, containers, lake view rooms, RV camps, tent camping and more. The scenery is pleasant, but also enjoy the special food here, very comfortable ~

We had a lake view this time, and my first requirement for the accommodation was that it was clean, not damp, and not smelly. At the beginning or a little worried, after all, it is in the lake, did not expect the interior is very refreshing, bathing water, mattresses and covers are very comfortable, sound insulation is very good at night, very quiet, and can enjoy the lake view during the day, too satisfied.

Since it is called the country club, of course, there is no fun, the public area can experience a variety of VR games, and even can hold a bonfire party and wedding, only you can not think of impossible.

The afternoon tea by the lake is also very pleasant, the breeze is gentle, and the club produces high quality snacks and coffee!

After a short rest, we went to Qidu Kaixian Bow village to punch the local attractions

Qidu Town Kaixiangong Village (Jiang Village)

Qidu is a famous town of scenic tourism in Jiangsu Province, among which the town's Kaixiangong Village is a famous birthplace of rural industry, the reason why it is called Kaixiangong because its terrain is like an open bow and arrow, and now it is called Jiang Village.

First came to the Jiang village auditorium, the structure of this auditorium reminds me of "lecture theatre", sure enough, here in addition to reading classes, but also to watch the performance. I have long heard that there are many intangible cultural heritage projects in Qidu, and the puppet Kunqu opera here is one of them.

In 2004, funded by Qidu Town government and Suzhou Art School, five Qidu fresh junior high school graduates were recruited for professional training to learn puppet Kunqu opera and receive five-year professional training. On the stage, these two are the inheritors of puppet Kunqu opera, listening to them say that the five students of the year are now only three, and the process of practice is difficult.

The movements of this puppet come from the hand pulling operation, which requires years of practice of basic skills. Including the performer's own every move can also make the performance of the puppet to add character color, it is said that every day is the line is not hand, the day is not bright will get up to practice.

Jiang Village Market

On the way to Fei Xiaotong Memorial Hall, we passed the Jiangcun market, which was particularly popular in the past two years. The Shuangta Market in downtown Suzhou was very successful, and Jiangcun was also very fashionable and created a local market.

The design is novel and clean. It is said that the second floor takes the solar term as the theme and combines food customs to show the local cultural characteristics of Jiangcun.

Fei Xiaotong Memorial Hall

Speaking of Jiang village, Fei Xiaotong is one of the people we have to mention. Mr. Fei Xiaotong is a Jiangcun native who has visited his hometown 26 times to investigate the local area.

He used every opportunity to get in touch with the reality of social change, and deeply discussed the development of township enterprises and small towns in China, sketching the blueprint of today's Chinese sociology. Looking at today's Jiangcun economy, it has become one of the urbanization models with Chinese characteristics.

This year marks the 110th anniversary of Fei's birth, and we visited the Fei Xiaotong Memorial Hall in Jiang Village. The architectural style not only has the characteristics of water town with white walls and black tile pavilions, but also has a style and smooth modern atmosphere. When summer comes, the pool in front of the hall is full of lotus flowers, which is very beautiful.

The theme hall is composed of Fei Xiaotong Memorial Hall and Jiangcun Culture Exhibition Hall, and the contents complement each other. You can review the living habits and cultural customs of the people of Jiang village, as well as the footprints of Fei Lao's visits to Jiang village again and again.

Traditional customs: smoked bean tea, pickled osmanthus flower

After visiting and learning the theory, it is natural to practice. Just seen in the exhibition of Jiang village custom to drink smoked bean tea, this is not on the drink!

Smoked bean tea is a tea brewed with smoked beans as the main material and other accessories. Accessories are generally dried carrots, orange peel, osmanthus, sesame, etc., and then add green tea with boiling water to brew, drink is salty.

It's more like "eating tea" than drinking tea. Because it is necessary to match a table of dim sum, eat a little and drink a mouthful, Chinese afternoon tea is too rich ~ just see the local pickled osmanthus, the craft work depends on patience.

Chidu food

When it comes to eating, it can't stop, and this time it is also lucky to catch the three-day 2020 first Yangtze River Delta Demonstration Zone Food Festival. This food festival not only brings together the special snacks of Wujiang's eight districts and towns, but also many landmark foods of the Yangtze River Delta demonstration zone.

My favorite, of course, is the Feng Ji oil pier in the ancient town of Lili. Both the meat filling and the bean paste filling are delicious. Don't miss the shaomai in Zhenze Ancient Town, which is steamed and eaten now! There's also a variety of pastries you can buy straight home. Allah Shanghai Zhujiajiao meat Zongzi and Liantang ancient town water bamboo is also famous.

That day really did not eat dinner, directly in the food festival scene to eat belly round.

For me, eating is a very important part of the trip, lamenting that seven are really the land of fish and rice, resources are too rich, the so-called: God reward dinner.

Travel notes write write hungry, what set of intestines, chicken head rice, water slings, palm-sized macrobrachium rockwell shrimp, goose meat noodles, osmanthus flower oil meat, wild river eel, and just said smoked bean tea with various desserts.

Every season has a season of delicious, I am now waiting for seven fragrant vegetables in the market, this green leaf lovers want to taste what the taste is...

Qidu Wetland Park

The next day sleep to wake up naturally, get up and go to Qidu Wetland Park. The weather is so good, the park is close to Taihu Lake, and it is convenient to park by car without charge.

Just take a walk to the Seven Towers, which is also a landmark building, and recently held the Seven Towers night market here. I really think the tourism consciousness of this town is very avant-garde, and the activities are very novel.

0572 Hot Spring Hotel

This hotel is actually passing by, heard that the new opened, went to have a look. The hotel staff was kind enough to give us a tour.

The location is really nothing to say, the rooms can see the Taihu Lake, and the infinity pool, I suddenly have a feeling of island.

This year can not go out of the country, everyone's vacation is crowded to Sanya, I look at the scenery in front of me, feel completely not lost, but also a little more leisurely.

Several Japanese hot spring rooms are also very delicate, and it is said that business is very good during the National Day.

You don't say, the company has an annual meeting is also a good choice.

Write at the end

Thanks to the epidemic, I stopped to look around the town. I call this seven all travel is a cultural trip, history and culture, folk culture, food culture, just two days flooded with too much information in my mind, on the way back is already thinking, spring again!
