★ Tourist location: Maopengwu Leisure Area in Qionglong Mountain, Suzhou

When it comes to the Qionglong Mountain Scenic Area, we have really been to quite a few places, such as Wanniao Garden, Sunwu Cultural Park, and Xiaolongzhong, but the main people have never been to it. It seems that Qionglong Mountain is placed behind every time, but in the end, it is late and it is time to return. Our time planning is very ideal every time, but every time we stay here and watch there for a while, we will unknowingly exceed the set time.

This time we learned our lesson and killed straight to Qionglong Mountain at the first stop we went to Qionglong Mountain. This is the highest peak in Suzhou in the western suburbs of Suzhou. The main peak, Rumao Peak, is 341.7 meters above sea level and is the crown of the mountains on the east bank of Taihu Lake. The Qionglong Mountain vein runs northwest and is about 7.5 kilometers long. It is high in the north and low in the south, wide in the north and narrow in the south. The mountain is composed of Devonian quartz sandstone.

I originally wanted to enter through the main entrance, but even parking spaces on Qionglong Mountain were very tight during holidays. I took a look around for the most troublesome parking problem and still parked my car in Sunwu Cultural Park. Now that the Cultural Park and Qionglong Mountain have been merged into one scenic spot, you can also climb Qionglong Mountain from the Cultural Park.

Before the two scenic spots were merged, we once came to Sunwu Cultural Park, and a Sunwu School was built next to the parking lot. But the door was closed and not open.

The grand gate, the wide square, and the crowded tourist crowd are the popularity of this former 4A scenic spot today. It used to be, but that is because Qionglong Mountain has now become an important part of Wuzhong Taihu Tourist Area, a 5A-level scenic spot.

Modern people have long spared no effort in praising Sun Wu, and as the vault where "The Art of War" was written, it naturally has the most unique advantages. The "crown of martial arts classics" is not self-proclaimed, and the "world's number one wisdom mountain" is not self-proclaimed.

The holy lake is still rippling in the sun, and we want to climb the mountain, because when we last came, we took the west of the lake. It seemed that the east of the lake was a bit like a mountaineering road. As a result, there was indeed a mountaineering entrance, but the road to the Qionglong Mountain is really not this way, but it is on the west of the lake.

Since you are here, let's go and see how the cultural park is currently being constructed. I never expected that several halls would be closed during the National Day holiday. Logically speaking, this cultural park has not been built for a long time, and its appearance is very new, so it will never be repaired. Maybe it was because of the epidemic that everyone couldn't gather indoors, so the venue was simply closed?

At the entrance of Zhibing Hall, we met young parents who brought their children. Although everyone couldn't help but feel disappointed, they all expressed understanding. Although everyone still had some illusions, they had to go to the Hall of the Army Cleansing, which was the last place they entered, to be rejected before they could be determined to go back.

In addition to the Sanjin Hall, the Cultural Park itself actually has buildings similar to gardens, such as the Desheng Pavilion and the Changyu Pavilion connected to the promenade. There are quite many places for tourists to rest.

We had just entered the park, so naturally we couldn't take a break. We walked straight west through the plank road, and happened to meet the Holy Lake cruise. Young people wearing battle armor of the Spring and Autumn period walked forward with neat steps. In the middle are the king and civil and military ministers. It is fashionable in the spring and autumn period to be black, so he wears a black robe with the crown in the middle. Because the drama hasn't started yet, it's just the portable audio equipment in the lead.

The drama will start until the parade ends. We are not very interested in these performances, so naturally we will not delay going to Qionglong Mountain. After the two scenic spots were opened, many new buildings were added to this passage.

Jingyou Pavilion is a two-story building and is about four to five rooms wide. It looks like a certain business place and should be used for catering. The plaque "leaning against the mountain and resting on the water" is quite worthy of its name. This pavilion is at the foot of Qionglong Mountain and on the bank of the sacred lake.

The journey from South Gate to Qionglong Mountain is a bit long, but there are sightseeing buses to take. Because we haven't traveled this road and were afraid of missing something, we insisted on walking. Others can leave, but there's no reason why we can't! We are still quite confident in the physical strength of walking.

After walking through the Holy Lake, there are many small lakes along the way. It can be said that it still feels like changing the scenery, but I don't think this road is so monotonous. From here to Qionglong Mountain is Maopengwu Leisure Area.

Sun Wuju is a B & B with two floors and floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The room is not small. However, the price of accommodation here will not be cheap.

There is a relatively luxurious boat in the lake opposite, similar to a small cruise ship. It has a trestle directly to the shore. I guess it may also be a catering place. Taihu boat dishes used to be quite famous. Although it is impossible to go to Taihu Lake to eat boat dishes now, if a scene is simulated, there should be a large audience.

The lake is also within Sun Wuju's area, but it is afternoon tea for leisure time. There are fruits, snacks, coffee, black tea and green tea. If you are tired from walking, you might as well come in and rest.

The Information Hall is not closed. This is the "Jianwen Exhibition Hall". It is said that after the King of Yan launched the "Jingnan Mutiny", Emperor Jianwen retired into seclusion in Qionglongshan Temple and died his old age.

Sun Wu's study is also a place for tea and leisure. The building is very antique, a bit similar to the three-dimensional layout, but the houses are disconnected from one house to another. In the middle yard, there is a waterwheel, which is a bit of a farming and reading. Of course, since it is called a study room, it is naturally indispensable to have bookshelves. Drinking tea and reading books, it is probably only people who stay here who have such leisure.

Causuguan has black rice and black rice porridge, and of course there are some other porridge products, wontons and tea drinks. The shelves display various plants, all of which can be used as medicine. We are more interested in Umi, but in fact, the taste is average and not as good as the taste of Mudu Ancient Town.

There is a piece of land outside the museum where various medicinal herbs are planted. But it's not their flowering season now, so I don't know any of the species in the herb garden, so I can only rely on the explanatory sign next to it.

There is a section of the city gate and three arches ahead. It looks like it is newly built, but there are some plants climbing. I guess if I come back in a few years, it will have a bit old taste.

There are cartoon models on both sides of the road next. I wonder if there is any activity in the scenic spot recently. If you talk about the secluded place of the War Saint, these lively cartoon images are a bit incompatible with the overall style!

Liaoxia Pavilion (even guessed the name of the pavilion, but never learned seal style) is a two-story pavilion. In fact, the pavilion has made a small attic on top of it, and the form and name have changed.

Walking to the lake, there was actually a folded bridge, with seven twists and turns, as if it had a nine-fold bend. In the middle is the Juyue Pavilion, which is probably a good place to admire the moon. In fact, whenever there is water, pavilions, pavilions and rockery, the artistic conception of appreciating the moon is very different.

The buildings in front are relatively dense, with corridors connected to pavilions, ponds connected to rivers, and some rockery and rock landscapes. Overall, it feels like a Jiangnan garden. There are still some water lilies planted in the water, but there are still a few that have not withered.

Sun Wu Tea House has a three-bedroom floor and a one-story building. Although the building is not very good, it is hidden among the woods and has a sense of tranquility.

Walking from here, you will be within the scope of the Qionglong Mountain Scenic Area.

Warm reminder: There is a performance of the historical and cultural drama "The Top of the Vault" at the South Gate of the Qionglong Mountain Scenic Area (Sun Wu Cultural Park). The first act "Seven Recommendations to Sun Wu", the second act "The King of Wu's Praying to the Generals", and the third act "Dominance in the Spring and Autumn Period". It is performed every weekend and holiday. There are two sessions in the morning and in the afternoon. The Holy Lake cruises at 9:30 a.m., the drama starts at 10:00, and is interactive and polite at 10:30. Afternoon performances start at 13:30, which is the same as morning performances. Tourists who are interested in historical dramas can seize the time.

The canopy hat and the Gusu crown are hidden in the past.

Generals and famous officials invite monthly rewards, and their pride is not reduced in their hearts.
