Feng Menglong Village is located in Huangdai Town, Xiangcheng District, Suzhou. As the master of folk literature, Feng Menglong, was born here, his birthplace "Xinxiang Village" was officially renamed "Feng Menglong Village" to commemorate him.
After the renaming, Fengmenglong Village, relying on the cultural celebrity Feng Menglong, integrates the characteristic forest and fruit base, Liangdang Port wedding river, beautiful village, Huanggongdang Leisure Farm, and Fengmenglong Agricultural Culture Park, vigorously develops rural tourism, and strives to become a new rural area that integrates characteristic agriculture, ecological tourism, and cultural tourism.
Fengmenglong Village is a red education base in Xiangcheng, Suzhou. Currently, it serves as a training center that also serves as a tourist center. It is said that the tourist center is still under construction, and in front of the training center is a large grassland square, which is a place for villagers to participate in collective activities. Last year's Farmers Harvest Festival was held here.
At the entrance of the training center is the creative farmer's market for the Red May event, which offers a wide range of Chinese sugar paintings, local snacks, specialty rice, and fruits.
Feng Menglong Village
The training center is surrounded by independent orchards with kiwifruit, yangmei, yellow peaches, grapes, and more. Although it is not yet the mature season, the walls around the orchard are covered with roses, which are very beautiful and worth checking in.

The roses are blooming profusely, and there are many types of colors, including red, pink, and white. It looks beautiful when photographed!

To the east of the training center, there is a quiet ecological park filled with various flowers.
There is also a boat trip to the lake in the park, where many people fish and ride bikes.
There are three main check-in points in Fengmenglong Village: Training Center, Fengmenglong Former Residence Memorial Hall/Academy, and Fengmenglong Agricultural Culture Park. Each point is not far apart and takes about 5 minutes by car. The scenic area has set up point-to-point scenic electric vehicles to travel between them.
After checking in at the tourist center, take the Jingjiao electric scooter and head to Feng Menglong's former residence.
Feng Menglong's former residence is located in the north of Fenggeng Nature Village. It is a Ming Dynasty family house with gray tiles and white walls, front and back houses, separated by a spacious courtyard. It is said that Feng Menglong lived here before the age of 12.
Feng Menglong's former residence is a two-story Jiangnan residential building, with the kitchen and agricultural tools displayed on the left and right sides of the first entrance.
The second entrance is the lobby, bedroom, and study.
The side courtyard is a private school.
Feng Menglong's Former Residence
The Feng Menglong Memorial Hall is located on the west side of Feng Menglong's former residence, in the architectural style of a water town in Jiangnan during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The entire memorial hall consists of a preface hall and four exhibition halls, restoring Feng Menglong's historical appearance from aspects such as his official career, literary achievements, the origin of Wu region, and cultural research.
Entering is the preface hall, which introduces Feng Menglong's life. Feng Menglong, a great master of folk literature in Chinese history, was born here. To commemorate the 440th anniversary of Feng Menglong, his birthplace was renamed as "Feng Menglong Village". [1] Feng Menglong (1574-1646) was a famous writer of the Ming Dynasty. He referred to himself as a "native of Changzhou (now Suzhou) from Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture" in his "Shouning Daizhi". His works have nearly 30 million words, with the "Three Words" ("Yu Shi Ming Yan", "Jing Shi Tong Yan", and "Xing Shi Heng Yan") being the most famous. He is known as the pioneer of ancient Chinese vernacular novels and the leader of popular literature.
On the west side of the Feng Menglong Memorial is a Feng Menglong Academy, which is also a newly emerged popular library for checking in at Xiangcheng.
The roof of the second floor is the school palace, in the style of Kushan Mountain in Japan, with a circular door opening suitable for taking photos. Feng Menglong Academy has a large area of over 1000 square meters and is the most comprehensive library of Feng Menglong's related books. It is a reading base that integrates reading, collection, and cultural education, promoting the spirit of Feng Menglong and inheriting traditional culture. It has become a convenient place for local villagers, tourists, and scholars to borrow and research books.
My favorite place is this staircase reading space, where the sun shines and the fragrance of books fills my nose.
The Hanmo Studio is also filled with sunshine, where you can experience the traditional craftsmanship of rubbing.
Check in and take photos at the white spiral staircase.
The newly opened traditional handmade houses in Fengmenglong Village are also a Jiangnan residential building with pink walls and black tiles. One is an oil shop selling oil products, and inside is a two-story traditional oil workshop exhibition hall.

The Agricultural Culture Park consists of a main exhibition hall and an outdoor courtyard.
Feng Menglong Agricultural Culture Park
During the May Day holiday, there are many activities suitable for children in the park, such as spinning tops, rolling rings, and kicking keys, which are full of childhood memories.
Feng Menglong Agricultural Culture Park
At my grandmother's home at noon, I experienced making Wonton, and learned from the traditional Wonton made by the farmer's grandmother. Sure enough, the Wonton I made is delicious. In addition to Wonton, my grandmother's home also has home style farm dishes and Liangpi with cold skin.
In the mulberry orchard of the agricultural garden, the mulberries are already ripe and can be picked.
The physical exhibition in the Agricultural Culture Park records many agricultural terms and customs related to Wu's agricultural culture, as well as prayers for a better life, encouraging people to respect the elderly, love the young, and have a good wish for others. The main exhibition hall features the main statue of Feng Menglong, who drank and recited poetry, "Buy a cow to learn farming, build a thatched cottage facing the forest and spring. There are only a few days in the world, and after a few years in the mountains, he will serve as an official and end his illusory journey. He is known for his ability to write poetry and wine, and is known as the immortal.".
On both sides, various Wudi rice farming tools are displayed, emphasizing the harmonious relationship between "farmers" and labor tools. Almost lost Wudi rice farming tools, accompanied by easy to understand paragraphs, tell the rich history of Wudi agriculture.
The traditional farming methods of Wu, the way of living in harmony with the natural ecology, the simple and unadorned common people's thinking, and the ancient farming culture of Wu's households and Feng Menglong's hometown have been reproduced in the Agricultural Culture Park.
Feng Menglong Agricultural Culture Park
After visiting Fengmenglong Village, head to Wangting Town. Wangting and Fengmenglong Village are in the same direction. If time is limited, you can also arrange a 2-day itinerary separately. Wangting Town was praised by Bai Juyi, the governor of Suzhou at the time, for "the lights piercing through the village and city, and the sheng song reaching the post house." Wangting is one of the birthplaces of ancient rice culture and also one of the first prosperous ancient towns to rise along the canal. It has both the pastoral night economy of "rice fragrance serenade" and the urban night economy of "lights piercing through the village and city." It is a microcosm of the integration of Xiangcheng urban and rural areas and the rotating night magic cube.
Wangting depends on the water, which was called Wendu in ancient times. The water in Wangting has the vast North the Taihu Lake Lake. The lights of the leafy boat in the lake sway the remaining waves on the shore, taking you to listen to the evening singing of a fishing boat under the raincoat.
At sunset, I drove on the 7 km long North the Taihu Lake Avenue, and the afterglow of the sunset covered the whole the Taihu Lake Lake. The reeds on the lakeside swayed in the autumn wind.
