Taking advantage of the May Day preferential policy for self driving, the farthest journey south is to Nanjing Tulou, with a round-trip distance of 5964 kilometers and a fuel cost of 4063 yuan. The highway fee is 1952 yuan, which is waived for three days. 21 day standard room accommodation costs 7969 yuan, with the most expensive being 498 yuan per night in Wuxi, which is also the most disappointing one; The cheapest one night is Quanzhou 263, which is just a bit rudimentary compared to the one in Wuxi. From room size to bathroom facilities, advanced level to breakfast, it's not inferior at all. The most beautiful one is Wuyi Mountain Villa. My favorite is the Sanyu Kaiyuan Mingdu Hotel in Hongqiao Town, Wenzhou. For 404 yuan, you can enjoy the level of a luxury hotel. Eating is usually one meal a day, breakfast is sufficient at the hotel buffet, going out to play until the afternoon, and finding a restaurant to have another full meal. Usually, the average cost per person is 70-80 yuan, and the most expensive meal is in Quanzhou, with an average cost of over 300 yuan per person. It's a great experience. The cheapest meal is in Rizhao, with an average of 18 per person. The home cooked dishes are very delicious, and there is not a single meal that goes wrong. Tickets are also a major expense, with 2497 yuan for two people. My husband is over 60 years old, and most of the tickets are half price.
Rizhao is only used as a resting place, so I chose to stay at the Suning Novotel Hotel because it is very easy to get off the highway and has a high rating. The actual experience was indeed good. The room layout was reasonable, the luggage rack could hold two pieces of luggage, the bed was very comfortable, and there was plenty of shower water. For me, these two points were sufficient. In addition, the breakfast was very rich (although the quality was average), and the coffee machine and yogurt were commendable. Next to it is a comprehensive shopping mall, which is convenient for eating and shopping. You can park in the underground parking lot of the commercial building, but it is difficult to park when there are many customers. When I returned, the price of this hotel skyrocketed, so I switched to the Wulian Songyue Lake Blue Sea Junhua Grand Hotel. Getting off the highway requires taking both national and local roads, even though the road is easy to walk, it still takes time. This hotel is located in the scenic area, with beautiful environment and beautiful hotel. It has french window on one side of the wall. The bed is slightly hard, and the quality of bedding is average. The bathroom is also quite large and well arranged, but the shower water flow is a bit small, the floor slope is not enough, and there is water accumulation. The waiter was kind and responsible, and as soon as they checked in, they brought in dried fruits. The room light had a problem and kept flashing, so they quickly hired engineering personnel to fix it. There is no place to eat around, so we can only eat at the hotel. There are many varieties at Zero Point, and the price is also affordable. The scallops in the steamed seafood are not properly processed, and there are still a few that are not fresh and have a foul odor. The shrimp has not been removed from the shrimp line. Breakfast is mostly Chinese, with over ten types of cold and hot dishes, as well as various staple foods, which are very delicious. The french window on the whole wall make the originally spacious room brighter, but the disadvantages are that the bed is slightly hard, the shower is not too strong, and the water is slow. The service is very good, greet each other when meeting, reply to questions promptly, and give away fruits and dried fruits as gifts. There are not many varieties of Chinese breakfast, but it is delicious.
Arriving at the first stop in Taizhou, it's already noon. After eating, take a taxi to Taoyuan. This should be an old place city moat On the side, there are many parks and cultural landscapes. The peach garden is themed around Kong Shangren and his peach blossom fan, with dozens of peach trees planted. The blooming season attracts countless visitors. Now the park is extremely clean, and the Qingfeng Pavilion has been closed due to the epidemic or for some reason; The stone boat is also a stage, sometimes performing local operas. Now it has become a restaurant, where orders cannot be made and what to eat is determined by the shop owner. It seems that there are two to three hundred people, and the kitchen is on a slope by the shore, very small and simple. I am very worried about the hygiene situation and how they will pass the dishes on rainy days; Chen An is the most flavorful place in the garden. It is not as exquisite as the famous gardens in the south, but its advantage is not too prominent. The lion at the entrance is very interesting, with a long beard. It was closing time before I had enough time to browse, and I was kicked out. Going out is the old street, which is a newly built style imitating the Ming and Qing dynasties, similar to all the old streets in the country, mainly featuring restaurants and local specialties. I transferred to a Hanfu store and there is also a quite large Dangdang bookstore.
Upon seeing the Haitang Spring Tea Society, it was vividly written at the entrance that it began in 1925. He had a good impression and started chatting with the young people at the entrance. He said he was the fourth generation descendant and looked very proud. We walked into the door without hesitation. The storefront is not large, and there is a second floor that is not open. The tables are densely arranged and all are fully occupied. We can only compete with two guests, sit down and look at the menu. The waiter is very eager to urge us to order. My husband, because he doesn't eat meat, asked her what dish doesn't have meat. She seemed to be in a difficult position and asked the young man at the door about the recipe, just to confirm if there are any animal ingredients in it. It seems that there aren't many simple things. We were discussing, but the young man impatiently said there was a phone call and left. At this moment, two more guests came to sit at the same table as us. We said it was too crowded, but the waiter said it was the only way. We had no choice but to leave. From the shop owner to the staff, they all looked very impressive, feeling what it means to bully customers. Walking towards the middle of the street, we found the Qinhu Eight Fresh Restaurant, which was also full. The environment and decoration facilities were noticeably poor here, but the waiters warmly greeted us and flexibly freed up the tables used by their kitchen workers for us to sit on. They also provided us with ideas and introductions when ordering dishes. With her recommendation, we ordered braised pufferfish and braised fish balls fish cakes, along with boiled dry silk and lettuce, which were very comfortable to eat. Especially for pufferfish, the liver and skin are treated separately, paired with grass head, which is both delicious and refreshing. Go out and walk along the street. There are many tourists at night. Seeing the Huangqiao Shaobing (Baked cake in griddle) that just came out of the pot, it aroused my appetite again. I bought two and tasted them. They are really delicious, one is very small at 2 yuan. Later, I saw Huangqiao Shaobing (Baked cake in griddle) in the service area of the expressway, which cost 3 yuan each. I couldn't help but buy two for comparison. It's expensive but also hard.
Go early the next morning Yangzhou This is the last day of May Day, and there are many people in various scenic spots. Go to He Yuan first, afraid of difficulty parking, park in a parking lot one kilometer away. Passing by on the way The Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou The greenery on both sides of the shore is very good, and the Grand Canal flows quietly, comfortably integrating into this city. As soon as He Yuan entered the front yard, it was very small, and a large the Taihu Lake Lake stone was the main character. Further inside is the East Garden, with a four sided hall in the middle. The rockery is stacked in one corner of the courtyard, which is both the landscape and the staircase for going upstairs. From here on, it passes through the double corridor and Xiyuan The buildings are connected together and can be turned to the small courtyard to the south. It is said that this corridor is 1500 meters long. The architecture of Dongxi Garden is in Chinese style, while the building of Nanyuan is in Western style. The corridor in the garden still has Chinese style leaky windows, and when you turn to the south, it becomes an imported iron railing from France, with the pattern still in Chinese style. It can be seen that this design is well intentioned. There are many imported facilities in the room, which are very exquisite. The owner not only enjoys the beauty of the garden, but also satisfies the comfort and convenience of life. Then I went to a garden, which is a pure Chinese courtyard. I mainly visited the back garden. A pond surrounded by the Taihu Lake rockery and a dragon from the the Taihu Lake stone heap. Coming out of Geyuan Qianmen is a pedestrian street with various snacks and handicrafts. Seeing carts selling small cakes and rock sugar roasted pears gives a strong sense of the times.
Go in the afternoon Daming Temple Park the car on the roadside and climb a section of stairs to the entrance of the temple. Daming Temple was first built in the 5th century and has been repeatedly destroyed and built. The current temple was rebuilt during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty and has been repaired multiple times since the Republic of China and the liberation. Before going to Japan, Monk Jianzhen held his residence here, so he specially built a memorial hall modeled after the Tang Dynasty Temple in Nara. The sitting statue of Jianzhen in the main hall was also modeled after the Nanmu sculpture used in the Tang Dynasty Temple. The Sleeping Buddha Hall is not open. Qiling Pagoda Very prominent, able to overlook the entire temple and Slender West Lake from a high altitude (additional fee required). The Jianzhen Memorial Hall, the Sutra Pavilion, and the Qiling Pagoda have all been newly built in recent decades. The temple is relatively leisurely and clean, with no smoke like many temples. Walk a few hundred meters outside to the north gate of Slender West Lake, and follow me for a stroll while playing to the south gate. However, my husband is afraid of being tired and late, so he takes a sightseeing car for 20 yuan and 10 minutes to get there Twenty Four Bridges , again in the Wuting Bridge and Diaoyutai After staying for a while, the park was almost closed, and when we left the south gate, it was around 6:30. I have visited Geyuan and Slender West Lake before, and it's considered a revisit to the old place. However, I was still in a hurry to visit four scenic spots in a day. I originally wanted to choose three spots and bought a package ticket for three scenic spots. However, my husband had to check in all the scenic spots and bought a ticket for a single garden. The tickets for this day exceeded 300. At noon, I had a family banquet at the Xianggong Salt Merchant's Restaurant at Shangri La Hotel. When I arrived, the restaurant was about to rest and I quickly ordered the dishes. The waiters were enthusiastic and quick, with grilled soft bags and crystal shrimp being the most popular. The vinegar flavored yellow croaker had a beautiful shape, sour, sweet, and crispy, but with a slight earthy smell.
Stay at the Hilton Huanpeng Hotel in Hailing, Taizhou. This is the only hotel along the way that did not book breakfast, just to experience Taizhou morning tea. The hotel is located relatively far away, but fortunately Taizhou is not very big and it's not far from anywhere. The room is relatively clean, spacious, with good beds and bedding, and plenty of shower water. There is no luggage rack in the room, which is inconvenient. The lobby only provides hot water and orange juice mixed with an unknown amount of water, as well as cheap cookies bought in the market. There is still some distance to be measured by Hilton's standards. It is also spacious, with good beds and showers. The bedding is good, but there is no luggage rack. The lobby only provides hot water, orange juice mixed with an unknown amount of water, and unpleasant cookies. By Hilton's standards, it is still a bit far away. Taizhou's morning tea is famous. It stresses a cup of tea, a dish of hot dried silk, a basket of steamed stuffed buns, Shaomai or Steamed dumplings, and a bowl of fish Noodles in soup, which is the "one tea, three points, one side" among Taizhou's population. We went to Huibin Building and Fuchun, and arrived at Huibin Building at 7 o'clock in the morning. The large storefront was already full, and the waiter found a table for us. My husband was unwilling and waited for a small table. We ordered dried silk, two bowls of fish Noodles in soup and four kinds of steamed buns, and of course, we could not do without soup dumplings filled with crab roe. My favorite ones are rice straw buns and vegetable buns, which are green, sweet, and light. On the contrary, filled soup buns are a bit fishy and not very delicious. The amount of dried silk and noodles is too large, and in the end, they are all left. By the time we finished eating, a large queue had already formed outside, thankfully arriving early. The next day, there were fewer people going to the Fuchun Hotel, which seemed to be a place for locals to dine. The area is equally large, with outdated decoration and simple tables and chairs. The front desk orders and checks out, and then goes in to find a seat. There are also many varieties, including dried silk, steamed buns, and noodles, which are more than half cheaper in price. Dried silk is smooth and tender, it is a small portion, which is more reasonable. The taste of baozi is slightly worse than that of Huibin Restaurant, and I like to sell wild vegetables. Fish noodle soup is good. The cleaning lady is quite diligent, walking around and tidying up at any time. As I was eating, I caught a glimpse of her naturally drinking a soft packaged drink that nobody had finished. It should be a regular action, and she felt a bit uncomfortable. Life at the bottom of the city is not easy! It is worth mentioning the ancient collection of the Southern Song Dynasty. We had our first meal in Taizhou, and the salesperson was already packing up and preparing to rest. We broke in to beg for food. After ordering the signature Southern Song Dynasty sedan chair chicken, a sedan chair accompanied by the sound of suona, gongs, and drums soon arrived at the table. The exhaustion of the journey dissipated in an instant. I quickly took photos and videos with my phone, but it was still too late. This lively atmosphere suddenly aroused my appetite, and a few delicious light dishes filled my stomach.
On the last day, I left and went to Diaohua Tower. This used to be the place where Yue Fei stationed troops, but now a quaint street has been built, connecting several temples and old houses. Perhaps it was just after the festival, or maybe it was too early, and there were only a few of us on the whole street. We parked our car at the street corner and had to walk more than a mile to reach the Carved Flower Tower. In fact, it should also be possible to park near the tourist center in front of the building. A 40 yuan ticket is not cheap. The architecture was mainly expanded by local Confucian businessman Li Songru during the Republic of China period, featuring wood and brick carvings. At that time, the design and craftsmanship were extremely extensive, and every small corner was not ignored, and every detail was meticulously crafted. The Guanlan Tower has been imitated in recent years. This garden is not famous. In recent years, it began to be publicized. There are no more than ten tourists in the garden. We only took a quick turn to catch up with the journey. When we came back, we found that we did not see the essence of the garden - the Diaohua Building.
It's afternoon again in Wuzhen. The May Day holiday has just passed, and the streets in Wuzhen are cold and deserted. The driver said there was no place to live or eat a few days ago, and the street was full of people. I found a restaurant that is still operating, Xunwu Shuiyan Restaurant, and surprisingly, there is still a queue at the entrance, indicating that their business is doing well. The entrance decoration is very beautiful, and the storefront is quite unique. Unfortunately, the bathroom is simple and not hygienic enough. The white water fish is not very big and tender, and the sheltered pond shrimp is fried shrimp paired with yellow flying red peanuts, which is simple and delicious. The dish has no distinctive features, but it is of good quality and affordable.
After dinner, I went to Xizha. The 180 yuan ticket scared me, and I had to pay extra for the boat ride. The area of Xizha is not small, and there are also many things to see. Visitors need to eat, drink, have fun and consume when entering, so they really shouldn't charge such expensive tickets. Although there are not many people on Wuzhen Street, Xizha Village is bustling with tourists. Holding up the camera and waiting for half a day can reduce the number of heads or occupied area in the lens, and sometimes I have to give up the idea of taking photos. Setting aside the factors of numerous tourists, Wuzhen is indeed quite beautiful, reminiscent of the green water where people wander. After the renovation and repair of the house, it has preserved its ancient style and become more neat and beautiful. The glass windows have increased light and transparency, the street slabs are smooth and smooth, the stone bridges are arranged in a staggered manner, and there are large areas of grass and trees around the water. The entire town's ancestral temples, ancestral halls, and home shops are well organized. The newly built theater and Muxin Art Museum Have a unique taste. The only downside is that the shops sell too few unique products and there are too many trash cans. Although they are well decorated, they still stand out in the camera. The first time I saw Dingsheng cake here, there was a white bowl shaped rice cake with a pink heart in the middle, which was quite beautiful, but there were too many people in line, so I gave up. There is also a person selling shredded radish pancakes that has attracted many people. There are high-end restaurants with luxurious storefronts, as well as various small restaurants, and a simple small noodle shop is basically full. I had some interest in Muxin before and learned that there is a Muxin Art Museum in Xizha, so I decided to visit it. Spend another 20 yuan! The overall design of the art museum is very thoughtful, basically a black and white world, mainly made of wood, with large areas of blank space, echoing both inside and outside, paying attention to details and fully displaying grandeur. In addition to his paintings, there are also a large number of manuscripts on display. His paintings are usually monochromatic, dim, and semi abstract, which cannot be appreciated. His essays written in tiny words on various types of paper in prison not only make people sigh and sigh at his experiences, but also show great respect. His cultivation and elegance are even more enviable. Fortunately, he was able to return to his hometown and spend the rest of his life in peace in his later years.
Stay at Grace Select Hotel in the evening. The hotel is relatively new, and there were not many people after May Day. We only arrived at the hotel at night, and the bar street in front was mostly closed, with only one open and seemingly no guests. But this bar plays music until around ten o'clock every day. The receptionist warmly poured us homemade tea and introduced us to the gym and laundry room. The room is relatively clean, with low furniture and decoration standards, but the bed is quite comfortable. There is only one handheld shower head, but the water is strong enough. The laundry room is also equipped with laundry detergent, disinfectant, and alcohol. The breakfast was not very rich and the quality was average. The next day, due to a shortage of guests, it was changed to a set meal, with only the main course and no dishes.
Get up early and drive to Nanxun - the only ancient town with a fusion of Chinese and Western styles. Compared to Wuzhen, there are more differences besides the commonality of living by water. There are many wealthy families here. There was a saying in the past that there were four elephants, eight oxen, and twenty-four dogs, and the tonnage was measured by wealth. The Nanxun waterway is wider and the bridge is higher because the ship is larger. The wealthy people here have a high level of education, have generally studied and received new ideas and technologies, demonstrating not only the westernization of their houses, but also their vision and contribution in cultivating talents, national industry, emerging industries, and even revolutionary undertakings. It was already noon when I walked to the Baijian Building and found the Ruisiyuan Inn, with its beautiful storefront and courtyard. When I entered, the landlady had just finished cooking and the old couple was about to eat. I asked if there was anything to eat, but the landlady said there were noodles, egg dumplings, and fava beans. I said we should discuss again and let them eat first. We finally decided to eat at her house, two bowls of vegetarian noodles, a pot of egg dumplings, cabbage and vermicelli soup, a plate of fava beans. The egg dumplings soup was a bit salty, but everything else was fine, just the taste at home, simple and comfortable. The landlady is very talkative, and as we were eating, she kept introducing us to Nanxun and her home, with a tone full of pride. Her neighbor is the husband's family of Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam, and now it seems that everyone is gone. This homestay and restaurant was operated online by her son who settled in Shanghai. They managed it as a couple and had just renovated it two years ago. The cost of maintaining this old house is not small. It can be imagined how much manpower and material resources would be required for a mansion as large as Xiaolianzhuang, Zhang Shiming's former residence, Zhang Jingjiang's former residence, and Liu's staircase. Several former residences each have their own characteristics, with exquisite attention to every corner, every detail, and every brick and tile. Famous figures, calligraphy and paintings can be seen everywhere in the house (now it should be replicas), and there are also exhibitions to see, which is very worth visiting. There is actually a record museum here, which includes records from the Guangxu period and pure gold records. When we first arrived, we also had a wedding reception performance and a colorful boat show. As usual, there are commercial streets on both sides of the river, including food and drink, shopping, and homestays, but there are relatively few shops, which is much cleaner than Wuzhen. Seeing the freshly cooked Wanfu cake is quite tempting, I bought it and tasted it. It was too hot to hold, neither sweet nor greasy, and quite satisfying. It was neither unpleasant nor delicious. Another type of small round pastry has sugar and oil, which is less healthy but more delicious.
After returning to Wuzhen for a night's rest, we set off for Mount Wuyi the next day, and had some food with us in the service area. Mount Wuyi has always been a high-quality scenic spot with beautiful scenery and perfect management. The scenic spots are scattered, so it is necessary to arrange the route well to avoid excessive transportation time. Mount Wuyi belongs to Danxia landform. These days, there are blue sky and white clouds, which contrast red and black rocks, and green Jiuqu Brook more strongly. The temperature is naturally unforgiving. The Wuyi Palace is right in front of us, passing by several times. However, the palace is not open and can only be seen from outside. The two Song Guiman trees in the courtyard are beautiful, and there are also many ancient trees and buildings with a strong sense of time outside, all of which are locked Song Street Not long, a street full of food, drink, and shopping. On the second day, go ahead first Tianyou peak Tianyou Peak has an altitude of 408 meters, which is not as high as Xiangshan, but the road is carved out of rocks, making it difficult to walk. The mountain offers a panoramic view of the distant mountains and nearby waters, making it worth climbing. Descending from the Hu Ma Jian behind the mountain, passing by a stone wall filled with inscriptions of famous figures from various dynasties and generations. The entire mountain road is in the dense forest (and I even encountered a beautiful mountain chicken), which is completely different from the bare rocks in front of the mountain. After going down the mountain, I rewarded myself with a cultural and creative red robe popsicle, almost losing my teeth. At noon, we will wait for the bamboo raft at the Jiuqu Creek Wharf. We will either form our own team or have our staff form a team of 8 people on a boat. The four of us and another group of four will make it together on the boat. Two boatmen, one in front and one behind, with the front rowing and the back speaking. As soon as the ship owner said, "If you want to enjoy the scenery quietly, you can. If you want to listen to the live commentary, each group will pay 100 yuan." Another group wanted to listen, but we didn't mind, so we paid. This "Hu Jian Mandarin" guy is quite humorous, combining scenery with online jokes seamlessly, never stopping talking all the way, and is very diligent and responsible. The water of Jiuqu Creek is emerald green and clear, with rocks on both sides in different shapes and colors. Some resemble animals, some resemble faces, some resemble abstract paintings, and some resemble splashed ink landscape paintings. Only Yunv peak I can't see the appearance of a jade maiden. As we approached the finish line, I saw the back of Mount Dawang. The protagonist said that one year (I forgot which year), a large rock fell off the mountain, and now it looks like the back of the Dawang's head has been shaved off. The Jiuqu River is gentle and beautiful, suitable for all ages. On the third day, I arrived early in the morning. It had just rained, and the cave was dark. The steps were steep and slippery, but fortunately not too high. After coming down, walk along the tea garden all the way to Huxiao Rock The oil tung trees on the roadside are in full bloom, and the ground is covered in pure white. Huxiao Rock is a huge rock, on which people have carved a huge statue of Guanyin. Afterwards, I took a car to see Da Hong Pao. It was so cool inside that I didn't even want to get off. This tea garden is more concentrated, with a tall red robe and sparse leaves. If we didn't know its preciousness, we would have overlooked its existence. After collecting 20 grams of tea in 2007, these six mother tree teas were no longer produced. The scattered white flowers (wild lilies?) on the cliff caught our attention. because The water curtain cave There is no water now, coupled with the hot weather, we have decided not to go. The beautiful scenery of Mount Wuyi has attracted countless celebrities and created many legends, so it also has the beauty of culture. Its name itself is a legend. Peng Zu led his tribe to migrate here, but at that time, floods flooded. Peng Zu's son Wu Heyi led everyone to dig rivers and build mountains, allowing everyone to settle down. To commemorate their achievements, this mountain was named Wuyi. Wuyi Mountain Villa There is a piece of Pengzu Rock inside, which has been verified to be the site of Pengzu's residence. Mount Wuyi is also the birthplace of Zhu Xi's Neo Confucianism. Wuyi rock tea is another big card of Mount Wuyi. We spent two afternoons wandering around the town, one tea shop after another, and we entered three. The shop owners warmly invited us to taste tea, chatting about tea knowledge and culture while brewing. They were skilled in brewing tea, and the tea leaves, teapots, and cups were all obedient. The tea soup had a beautiful color, a fragrant aroma, and I was intoxicated when I looked and smelled it. As someone who didn't understand tea and didn't like to drink tea, I was also very excited and drank it with a refreshing mind. Finally, we bought some at the same house to take home.
Wuyi Mountain Villa Located next to Wuyi Palace and at the foot of Dawang Mountain, it is already pleasing to the eye, after all, it was an award-winning design from that year. And it's only a 10 minute walk from the scenic spot station, with the tea garden right outside the gate and the dining street right across the bridge, which is very convenient. The interior has a large gap, which is also due to its old age, outdated decoration, outdated facilities, narrow bathroom, torn sofa fabric, and uncomfortable bed. Breakfast is mainly Chinese food. Western style bread and cakes are very bad. Chinese style Steamed Chinese sponge cake Mantou is also not delicious. Several hot dishes are very common. Salad bar saved my life, but kidney beans and chickpeas have sour taste. The quality of the varieties needs to be improved. The landscape panoramic spring shower suite is actually a combination of two standard rooms, with a large space. Outside the window is a hillside lawn, and in front of both windows, there are benches similar to a couch. In the outside room, there is a large tea table with tea sets and a dining table with a sink. The top is empty and the bottom has a refrigerator. There are two bathrooms, only one can take a shower. The washbasin counter specifically states that water is mountain spring water that can be consumed directly, and good water is a major feature. The several buildings in the villa are quite scattered. We live far from the lobby and have to climb a slope. Each building basically only has one elevator, and there are many stairs in the corridors and inter building passages. Book a room and get a massage coupon every night, so two people can massage together. We chose foot therapy, the environment was good, and fruit cookies and drinks were given as gifts. The girls were enthusiastic and serious, and we chatted happily. We were comforted both physically and emotionally. The scenic spot package ticket includes 225 yuan by boat and scenic spot bus, plus 365 yuan for a tea garden experience, available for three days. There is a ticket specialist in the lobby of the villa. As soon as we arrived, we consulted her about the travel routes. She recommended the 365 package tickets, but did not mention the 225. We were so lazy that we didn't take a glance online and bought the tickets. We sincerely regret it. Also sweating for the villa and this ticket seller. Actually, we only played for two days and didn't go to the tea garden.
I had three dinners in Mount Wuyi, which were generally good and inexpensive. Mount Wuyi's special ingredients include river fish, lotus seeds, mountain bamboo shoots, and tea. Previously, I had only eaten Fried Shrimps with Longjing Tea. This time, I really experienced tea as a dish. As soon as I arrived on the first night, I went to the nearby Cuiyan Mountain Restaurant to cook. I didn't plan to have dinner tonight, but when I came out to play, I broke my rules. The decoration of the store adopts a natural style, with bamboo as the theme. The tables and chairs have a mountain village flavor, and there are indoor and outdoor areas. I ordered a set meal online and added steamed red eye fish. The characteristic of fish is its soft and edible scales, fresh and tender, but with many thorns. The fragrance of cinnamon and cumin adds to the meat aroma, and the fried tea leaves are very crispy and refreshing. Stir fried pickled Chinese cabbage with bamboo shoots. The local cuisine of Tang Yan Lao Wuyi has a high online rating. When we planned to have a meal, it was already 3 pm, but it was still open for business, which is a bonus. I clicked on the recommended osmanthus and white lotus, and I really, really liked it. The lotus seeds are so soft and sticky that they turn into paste with just a touch. The sweetness is slightly higher, but we managed to snatch them all. Stir fried pickled Chinese cabbage with bamboo shoots is a little rusty. The leaves of sweet potato are a little old, and the traditional Tujia flour cake is ordinary. The Da Hong Pao tea fish recommended by the shop owner is too spicy for us to eat, and the fish has a slight earthy smell. The commune chicken soup is fresh but not greasy, delicious. Minwei Private Kitchen is also a restaurant that is still open in the afternoon. Climbing up to the second floor, the hall was bright and although simple, it was still relatively clean. I ordered Jiuqu Creek fish, which is quite fresh and tender. Stir fried pickled Chinese cabbage with bamboo shoots is similar to that of a smoker. I really like osmanthus and lotus seeds, and I ordered them again. Although they are not as delicious as the banquet, they are still very good. I prefer cooking smoke among the three families.
After playing in Mount Wuyi for two and a half days, continue to look south to see the tulou. During the Yongjia period of the Western Jin Dynasty in the 4th century AD, there were frequent wars and natural disasters in the north, and the people were forced to move south, marking the beginning of the continuous migration of Han people from the Central Plains to Fujian for thousands of years. The Central Plains immigrants who entered Minnan merged with the local residents, forming a Fulao ethnic group characterized by Minnan dialect; After wandering through Ganzhou, Jiangxi and entering the mountainous areas of western Fujian, another important ethnic group in Fujian is formed - the Hakka ethnic group characterized by Hakka dialect. The southwest mountain area where the Earthen Building in Fujian Province is located is the intersection of Fulao and Hakka people. The terrain is precipitous and sparsely populated. There were wild animals and bandits everywhere. Gathering ethnic groups and living together is not only a deep-rooted requirement of the traditional Confucian concept in the Central Plains, but also a practical need to gather strength and jointly resist external enemies. Tulou was first built in the Song Dynasty and matured in the late Ming, Qing, and Republic of China. The youngest was built in the 1950s. There are tens of thousands of existing earthen buildings, widely distributed. Because there are too many, we only chose a few representative works of Nanjing, the most exquisite earthen buildings-- Tianluokeng tulou cluster The so-called Four Vegetables and One Soup, with appropriate density and well arranged arrangement, is included in the World Heritage List. It is located in Shuyang Town Upasaka Village, with Yunshui Ballad Scenic Area Not far, the scenic area has the highest earthen building Chang Jiao Hegui Building and the most well preserved Shuanghuan Meilin Huaiyuan Building. Yunshui Ballad It includes several villages, formerly known as Changjiao, but after filming the movie "Yunshui Ballad", the local government renamed it. The ancient town has a long river, an ancient road, a water wheel, more than ten banyan trees, dozens of earthen buildings, surrounded by beautiful mountains and water, and tea gardens everywhere. The people of Guzhen all have the surname Jian and also came from the north to avoid war. They migrated to Southeast Asia and Taiwan since the Ming Dynasty, and now there are more than 230000 Taiwanese with ancestral roots in Changjiao. We live in Huazhu· Yunshui Ballad Yunshui Chanshe was attracted by its appearance when I saw it online, but I was still amazed when I arrived at the homestay. A two-story small building with front and back courtyards, a few fish swimming happily in the front yard pool, a rotating staircase with iron handrails leading to the second floor, several tables and umbrellas in the backyard, and a gentle stream flowing by, making it a place for breakfast and a good place for tea and chatting. There is a large tea table at the front desk, and Xiao'e is busy brewing tea and teaching tea classics to guests. The landlord's family is gentle and friendly, making a simple and delicious breakfast that understands the needs of the guests very well. The room is simple, the bathroom is fully equipped, the bed is slightly hard, and the shower water flow is large enough. If there is anything unsatisfactory, it is just poor hygiene, hair on the shower wall, and stains on the sheets that cannot be washed clean. This is also a common problem in homestays, both domestically and internationally. He has a homestay and restaurant next to the water mill, which is well cooked. He also runs a tea garden and has a small shop selling tea.
We went to the ancient town in the afternoon, had dinner at the homestay, and walked to Huaiyuan Tower when the lanterns were on. It was first built in the first year of the Xuantong reign of the Qing Dynasty, and the "Si Shi Shi" in its core position was the place where the family's children studied. The entire building is four stories high, neat and exquisite, and entrance fees are 5 yuan. The several earthen buildings we visited all charge 5 yuan entrance fees. That's right, you can't run into someone else's house empty handed! The interior of Tulou is mostly made of wood structure, with several stairs that can be used for going up and down. It is narrow and lacks handrails. Although the slope and depth of the stairs are comfortable, some physical stability is still needed. Each room is very small, and due to the obstruction of a circle of corridors, the light is also very dim. There is no bathroom, and cooking is on the first floor, with oil fumes scattered everywhere. Although some rooms are equipped with air conditioning, overall living comfort feels poor. Many earthen buildings have set up homestays, and many tourists are willing to experience this unique life. I don't want to. At present, Tulou is still inhabited and operated by families as a unit. The least favorite thing about Tulou is that every Tulou is selling things. Apart from local specialties, they are cheap daily necessities or souvenirs, which can damage the atmosphere. However, survival is also a necessity for people. The next morning, walk along the ancient road along the river to Hegui Building. Passing by a earthen building, a middle-aged woman beckoned us in to take a look at the leaning earthen building. I had previously known of a "tilted" building and thought it was it, but upon entering, I found something wrong. Although the pillars were slanted, it was definitely not that one. I had already paid the money and didn't want to argue with her. The He Gui Building was built in the tenth year of the Yongzheng reign of the Qing Dynasty, in a square shape, with a total of 5 floors and a height of 21.5 meters. The most peculiar thing about it is that after starting construction, it was discovered that there was a swamp below. For some reason, it was not abandoned and was actually completed. It may be due to even stress, and although it has been built for more than 200 years, it still stands tall. There are cracks of varying widths on the exterior wall. The ancient town not only has relics from hundreds of years ago, but also bears the imprint of the Cultural Revolution period. Slogans and slogans can also be vaguely seen from the exterior walls of earthen buildings. In addition, the newly built modern homestays and entertainment facilities make people feel that it is both ancient and vibrant. After breakfast, leave the ancient town and head to Tianluokeng, which is a county road without any forks. When approaching the destination, there is a toll station that, like the ancient town, costs 85 yuan per person, which is considered a false high. The entrance is located on the mountain, with a good angle to overlook the buildings. The boardwalk that goes down is well constructed. Looking up, the earthen buildings are somewhat dilapidated. The name of the building and the couplets are written on red paper, which are already torn apart. The content of the couplets also appears straightforward and lacks artistic conception. Hechanglou (I hope I remember correctly) has a characteristic of having a relatively small diameter. With a mobile phone, the entire dome can be captured, and people can also be placed inside. It's a very interesting photo. The girl in the Tulou was very enthusiastic about taking photos for us and even letting us taste herbal tea.
Tulou is the farthest stop, and it's the return journey. It's not far to Quanzhou, it's just a long mountain road to get on the highway. Arriving in Quanzhou at noon is also close to the restaurant break time, so hurry to the restaurant and order dishes. CHIC1699 ocean private kitchen decoration in a modern neutral style, black and white gray, with a good taste. First, give me a pot of drinks and four Dim sum. Happy! Steamed red eastern star spots are cut and arranged in a circular shape, revealing exquisite details. The handmade fish soup is so delicious that I can't bear to finish it and still have one bite left. Each dish is eye pleasing and delicious, and the tableware is elegant. Finally, we sent four pieces of Dim sum at our request. The price of over 300 yuan per person is really worth it. I enjoyed the most expensive meal and also experienced the cheapest accommodation in Quanzhou. The world is peaceful and peaceful Qingyuan Mountain The hotel is located in Qingyuan Mountain Outside the gate, the environment is beautiful and the appearance is beautiful. There are no places to eat or shop around. The first floor tea room is comfortable, and the breakfast area is warm. The nearby Dexter can also offer discounts. The room is spacious enough to have everything, the decoration is simple, the bed is comfortable, and the shower is also good. There is an intelligent toilet lid. The disadvantage is that the washbasin is located in the aisle at the entrance, which can easily splash water onto the ground.
In the afternoon, visit the landmark of Quanzhou, the Grand Kaiyuan Temple in the old city. The temple was first built in the second year of the Tang Dynasty's Empress Wu Zetian's vertical arch, in the east at the age of over 700 years old Sita It is the most famous attraction of the Grand Kaiyuan Temple, with the "Zhenguo Pagoda" to the east and the "Zhenguo Pagoda" to the west“ Renshou Pagoda ”They are over 40 meters tall, making them the tallest pair in our country Stone Pagoda . The relief knives on the walls of the stone pagoda are delicate and the lines are smooth. The relief sculptures of the bearded Guanyin and Monkey Walker on the west pagoda are the most eye-catching. The main building, the the Shakya ManiHall, is also known as the "Hall of 100 Pillars". It was originally planned to set up 100 columns. Later, because it was necessary to place Buddha statues and make room for Buddhists to worship, it lengthened the honing beams, reduced the columns, and became the "Hall of 100 Pillars" with 86 columns; The Sangpeng Monument is a millennium old mulberry tree; The manna ordination platform is one of the only three ordination platform in China; The Cangjing Pavilion preserves cultural relics from the prosperous Tang Dynasty to the Republic of China. All halls are refused entry. The next morning, I was planning to take a detour Qingyuan Mountain Because I heard that tickets are free before 7 o'clock and I was stopped at the entrance to ask for a ticket. The free ticket is through the back door, which is several kilometers away. The 70 yuan ticket is not cheap, and we only have one hour, which is not worth it. Sadly returned and was misled and tricked once.
I didn't climb into a mountain and went straight to Fuzhou. Because I arrived early, there were not many people in Sanfang and Qixiang, and the store had just opened. It is said that this is the largest surviving historical district in China. Since its formation in the Jin and Tang dynasties, it has been a gathering place for nobles and literati, and during the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China period, it flourished. The entire block has been renovated very well, with proper arrangements for the former residence, exhibition, club, catering, and shops. Attracted by the ice noodles in the store, buy a bowl and try it out. The ingredients are rich and delicious. I saw bamboo jelly for the first time here, it's quite novel and I can't eat it anymore. I'll try it again. Seeing a newly made cake at a restaurant that was very tempting, I bought a small piece to satisfy my hunger on the way, but I forgot and ended up growing hair. Starbucks occupies the middle of South Back Street, a small courtyard surrounded by two floors, with a considerable area. We went in and experienced it. I didn't see any paid former residences and instead attended a free Shoushan Stone Exhibition. Hastily finished my trip to Fuzhou and proceeded with the final project - lunch. When we arrived at the Ziyang Seafood Restaurant, the hotel had stopped receiving customers. We had to discuss where to eat, and we were afraid that if we went elsewhere, it would also close. Seeing us in a difficult situation, a girl who may be the manager said she could work overtime for us, but the head chef was resting and some dishes couldn't be cooked. She helped us order and arranged a private room, and we are very grateful. The signature dish, lychee meat, is very beautiful, but too sweet; Steamed scallops and stir fried razor clams are very fresh and tender; Stir fry noodles with strong ingredients; The willow branches are thick with sweet dew. A table of dishes is very satisfying and not expensive.
After eating, I went to battle in Xiapu. Xiapu is the most anxious stop for me. Apart from taking photos, there is nothing to play with, but taking photos depends too much on the heavens. We only stayed in Xiapu for two nights and it was difficult to catch the good weather we needed. Sure enough, when I arrived at Xiapu, I saw a vast expanse, with the sea and sky blending in and extremely low visibility. I found quite a few people on the east wall. It seems that everyone, like me, is not giving up. I took a few blind photos and returned to the hotel. I asked the locals and also looked at the weather forecast, but tomorrow's weather is not optimistic. But! The next day, I woke up at 4:30 and went to Beiqi. Still! There are so many people. As we approached the parking lot, the traffic was heavily congested, and people and cars struggled to move forward on the narrow street. On the platform overlooking the beach, there were already two rows of people standing, many of whom were members of the photography troupe. They said they would wake up at around two o'clock to take a seat, and the blurry scene in front of them really let down their hard work. Despite the models being brightly dressed, they still cannot autofocus. But no one gave up! Several models on the beach pose with nets, while the tour guide on the platform uses a loudspeaker to guide them to change positions and positions. I know I came late, so I can only take a few photos from someone else's shoulder or armpit. Once again, I struggled to drive out of Beiqi and returned to the hotel for breakfast and rest. It turned sunny during lunch. I immediately went to Shimao Island. This place is known for its sea eroded caves, with large reefs scattered and overlapping by the seaside. People can only jump back and forth between the rocks in search of their way. There are many people, taking photos in various poses as backgrounds. In the evening, the clouds came up again. It didn't feel like there was much to look at when we went to Xiaohao. I saw several retired big brothers and sisters happily and happily shooting in various poses and combinations, from us until we left without stopping. This mentality is enviable! Once again on the east wall, the clouds became thicker and the light dimmer, so I had to take a detour back to my mansion. On the last morning, I woke up early and went to Beidou about 4:30. There was a touch of red on the horizon, and a row of tripods had already been lined up on the beach. There was also a drone team in the sky. Several groups of models serve several photography groups, and as the sun rises, the group leader or tour guide commands or walks over to guide. The models are very professional and can pose as if they are walking for half a day without moving, and occasionally change their formation. I cleaned up several groups of models, but the drone couldn't escape. There was no way, they had to spend money. The sun had not fully penetrated the clouds below before it penetrated into the clouds above. The filming process in Xiapu has come to an end, it was not perfect and not so bad. The Kerriade Hotel, where I stayed, can be considered one of the top three hotels in the county. The hotel is not small in scale, with high floors and three busy elevators, so we have to wait for a long time each time. The room and bathroom have a large enough area and belong to a minimalist style. There is no wardrobe, no table, no refrigerator, and the luggage rack can only hold one box. The quality of bedding is average. The equipment is new and relatively clean, and the shower water is flush. The floor of the shower room is not well prepared, and it is flooded all day. The toilet paper holder is placed in the corner of the wall, and when taking out the paper, it needs to be turned 90 degrees or more, which is a bit unfriendly in design. The laundry room is a bonus. There are not many varieties of breakfast, and the quality is average. Opening the door at 7 o'clock is the peak period. If you want to find a table, you have to rely on eye disease and fast legs. Everyone got up early, busy finishing their meal and going back to catch up on sleep. Because soon there will be fewer people.
Qingtian is the target of Houjia. One of my husband's patients is from Qingtian. During his hospitalization, he described to us the various wonders of his hometown, such as bars and cafes all over the street, things from all over the world that can be bought, people from all over the country, people playing mahjong all day without work, villages with banks, and people queuing up at banks with whole bags of money to exchange for foreign exchange. This made us full of imagination about this small county town. Since we have arrived nearby this time, let's take a turn and take a look, while also greeting the patient. Qingtian is a famous hometown of stone carving in China. Qingtian Stone is one of the four famous stones in China, and the Stone Carving Museum displays many works of masters. The museum itself is somewhat unprofessional. A hollow building gives the impression of a hotel, with exhibition rooms occupying two or three floors. Elevators keep running on these two floors, and the lighting is poor. It's unclear whether it's borrowing someone else's place or converting other buildings into a museum. A patient from Qingtian invited us to dinner and drove along the river in the valley for a long distance to reach "Fangshan", a local scenic area. We also walked a long mountain road to a four story farmhouse. We didn't quite understand why we were not in the county town, but in such a remote place. The patient said there is a unique dish here: Tianyu, which is a fish that grows in an environment where rice fields and fish coexist. It is said that it is only found in the country. We are here for this fish. This agricultural heritage cultural hotel is not simple. The owner has been doing business abroad for many years and is now returning home to develop a new countryside, cooperating with the government to promote agricultural products. She is a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and has a place in the Overseas Chinese Federation. She has a wide range of social interactions, is also eloquent and charming. The main field fish is pink in color, with tender flesh and edible scales, and slightly more small spines. There is also green tofu, which is made from green leaf juice, which is tougher than tofu and has a grassy fragrance. Other dishes are also locally produced organic ingredients. The landlady asked someone to bring us blueberry wine and personally accompany us for a drink and chat. On the way back, I saw the Qingtian Stone Market and walked in. I found that 70-80% of the shops were locked, and the inside was empty with thick dust accumulation. The store that opened the door also had no customers. The owners gathered together to play cards, and the patients said that this place used to be very lively. Returning to the county town, we went to the International Commodity Street, which is quite large in scale. We are still building new commercial buildings, with shops one by one, but the products we sell are quite similar. Alcohol is the most abundant, there are many supermarkets, and most of them are various candies and snacks. Our clothes are mainly T-shirts and casual wear. The price is still more expensive than buying abroad, and even more expensive than online international shopping malls that offer discounts. It is not that selling here is not for the sake of making money, but for the convenience of exchange. The patient invited us to have coffee again. He used to run a supermarket in Spain, but after falling ill, he returned to his home country for treatment. His eldest son took over, and now both sons operate supermarkets abroad. In the evening, we went to the central area to have Western cuisine. There are many Western restaurants in Qingtian, and the customers gave us good reviews, so we chose it. The restaurant is located in the residential complex. At the intersection of the taxi, the driver said it and threw us away. Looking around without a restaurant, we asked a few people before finding the shop. The storefront is not big, the tables are very open, the kitchen is open, and the staff are busy. The dishes look good and the taste is authentic. We ordered one soup, two salads, one pasta, and one pancake, which is good and affordable. There are two rooms in his house on the next floor, which are also full. After eating, strolling back, the lights on both sides of the Ou River are shining brightly, classical European style buildings are arranged along the north bank, and modern high-rise buildings are on the south bank. There are many people on and off the bridge, singing and dancing, and playing with children.
The next day, I went to Chenzhai Qixing Village. The small village started in the Song Dynasty and seems to still be stuck in the past. The house has added some simple modern facilities, but the external structure exudes antiquity. The stone stacked walls look sturdy and beautiful. The Yuxiu Bridge at the entrance of the village was built in the fourth year of the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty, with a length of only 13.81 meters. Such a small bridge is so complicated: the bridge deck covers five gallery houses, the beam frame is five purlins and two columns, and be careful to set up gallery and fence benches on both sides of the bridge. In the middle of the hanging mountain top, a four corner spike is raised, and small blue tiles are paved with yin and yang. Is this just for aesthetics, or is it to show off wealth? We traveled over the mountains and mountains for over two hours to get a glimpse of this bridge. The Shimao Hotel in Qingtian Overseas Chinese Township is located near the county town, with convenient transportation and a large courtyard in front for parking. The lobby is quite beautiful, with breakfast right next to it. There are a variety of Chinese dishes and relatively few Western dishes, and the overall quality is good. The room is spacious, with a set of tables and chairs and a leisure sofa. The power and switch are convenient, and the curtains can also be opened and closed with just one click. Carpeting is a place I don't like and it's not easy to clean. The bathroom is clean and bright, with plenty of shower water. The next day at noon, we wanted to eat at the center of the county town, but couldn't find a parking space. We had to drive back to the hotel to have a meal, but it was too late. The waiter was very considerate and arranged for us to order three dishes at a banquet table on the second floor. It took us a long time to come up with two, but in the end, the one that didn't come up and was returned. The awkwardness of dining outside of mealtime this time is also reflected in our ordering on the third floor, dining on the second floor, and checking out on the fourth floor. Before leaving in the afternoon, I went to a caf é to experience it. The girl was very serious in helping us choose beans and make handmade coffee, which was quite ceremonial. The other latte was also very skilled.
Yandang Mountain is known as the first mountain in the southeast, ranking among the three mountains and five peaks. It is known as a world geological park and was formed 120 million years ago. It is one of the most complete and typical Cretaceous rhyolitic ancient volcanoes in the volcanic belt on the edge of the Asian continent in the Pacific Rim - the Volcano. The beautiful natural landscape constructed by its rhyolite is unique in the world. Before entering the scenic area, there is a tourist center with a large parking lot. Normally, tourists can stop their cars and transfer to the scenic area car to enter. When we went, there were not many people and the tourist center was not open. Tourists drove to various scenic spots by themselves, which was more convenient. Another point is that the tourist center sells package tickets, which can be purchased separately when visiting the scenic area. Lingyan and Dalongqiu are priced at 50 yuan, while Fangdong is priced at 40 yuan. Navigation into the mountains doesn't work, but there is only one way and you won't go wrong. The three wonders of Yandang are Dalongqiu Lingfeng Night Scenery and Lingyan Ferry Most of the time it has been raining these past two days, sometimes it's still very heavy, so we cancelled it Lingfeng Scenic Area . The legend goes that the first stop along the mountain road is Lingyan Ferry, which happens to catch 10 o'clock. Two stalagmite like structures( Zhanqi Peak and Tianzhu Peak )A steel cable is erected between the mountaintops, and tourists sit on it Lingyan Temple On the nearby platform, you can look up at a 45 degree angle and not sit for nothing. You can order a cup of tea starting at 15 yuan. The performance lasted for about half an hour, and the male and female students who had pre recorded the music explained the high pitched tone and exaggerated words, explaining the origin of the performance. The performance is divided into two parts. The first part is flying, which involves sliding along the cliff from the mountaintop to the foot of the mountain, during which the movements of the herb picker are imitated by swinging left and right. The second part is sliding from the top of one peak, which is 270 meters high, to the other peak, which is 200 meters long, with some rolling movements in the middle. Due to the distance, it is difficult to watch and it is difficult to feel thrilling. The aerial performance involves hand and foot climbing on steel cables, not walking on the tightrope as I imagined. Looking back at the photos, I found a high-altitude cycling performance in Dalongqiu, which feels more thrilling than flying over Lingyan. After watching the performance, walk for 10 minutes to arrive Xiaolongqiu Water is delicate and delicate, Wolong Valley I haven't been to other places yet. It was a small stalagmite that attracted me, wrapped in a green whip, perfectly shaped and beautiful. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Zhuobi Peak, which was the inspiration for Shen Kuo's theory of water erosion. When it came out, the rain and fog were even heavier, and by the next stop at Fangdong, nothing could be seen. I walked alone along the boardwalk, and before my eyes was a vast expanse of white and clean. The boardwalk was carved along the rhyolite interlayers of the third phase of the Yandang Mountain eruption, which were made of gold belts. There were roofs above in many places to shelter from rain, and there was a Taoist temple in a large cave. As I walked, I saw a suspended bridge ahead. It is said that many people dared not walk. If he had come with me for a day, he would not have been afraid, and everything around him would have been invisible. I walked here and looked at the mist in front of me, feeling a mist rising in my heart. I felt lost and returned. At the next stop in Dalongqiu, the rain stopped and there were more tourists. Several tourist groups gathered around to listen to their explanations. Scissor Peak It is the most commendable except for Dalongqiu. This small columnar peak has been broken into two halves, one big and one small. From different angles, it has different shapes, such as scissors, couples, girls, woodpeckers, bears, and ship masts. It's really impressive. Here, you can also see rare bulbous rhyolite, with a large stone ball measuring approximately 20-30 centimeters in diameter. I was quite disappointed with Dalongqiu. It was also because the rainy season had not yet arrived, and the thin water flow fell from the sky, feeling a bit out of breath. I could sense its height, but could not feel any momentum. I couldn't see Xu Xiake's description of "the waterfall of Longqiu, crashing down into the pond with a loud bang, the rock was open and steep, the water was nowhere to be found, floating in the air, making my heart dizzy and terrifying." And in the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Mei's description of "a waterfall above twenty zhang is a waterfall, and a waterfall below twenty zhang is not a waterfall, all turned into smoke, mist, light silk, jade dust, beads, and glass shards." "Si, it is Yang Baihua." It seems that it can be called one of the four major waterfalls in China only because of its height of 190 meters. The weather was too bad, and we had to end our one-day trip to Yandang Mountain. There are many homestays near Yandang Mountain, but I couldn't find a suitable hotel. I stayed at the Wenzhou Sanyu Kaiyuan Mingdu Hotel in Hongqiao Town, 20 kilometers away. I never expected there to be such a high-end hotel in this small place of Hongqiao Town. The tall and magnificent lobby, fast and stable elevator, heavy and textured door, formal furniture, elegant and lively bathroom, as well as a gym and swimming pool, make people happy and comfortable. I was particularly satisfied with breakfast, with over a hundred options in both Chinese and Western styles, high quality and delicious. The Western style cake is very authentic, which made me eat a lot of cake early in the morning.
Ningbo is not far from Xikou, Zhoushan, and Shaoxing, so I decided to stay in Ningbo instead of constantly changing hotels. It's noon. First, let's go Tianyi Square After dinner, I went to Tianyi Pavilion in the afternoon. Tianyi Pavilion was a library built by retired official Fan Qin during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty (1561-1566). Fan Qin must have been a person who loved books as much as his life, which gave him the ancestral motto of "not dividing books by generations, not leaving the pavilion". His thirteen generations of descendants also followed the constraints and held onto this heavy family business. Tianyi Pavilion was the first library in China for a long time, reaching a maximum of over 70000 volumes. The architectural form of Tianyi Pavilion also became a model for the later Seven Pavilions in the North and South. When Emperor Qianlong compiled the Complete Library of the Four Treasuries, Tianyi Pavilion donated over 600 rare books. With the outbreak of the Opium War and subsequent wars and thefts, Tianyi Pavilion only had over 17000 volumes left in its collection. In 1933, Tianyi Pavilion was destroyed by a strong typhoon, and the government began to intervene in reconstruction and management. After liberation, it underwent continuous maintenance, expansion, and collection, forming its current scale with 300000 volumes of ancient books. Fan's Former Residence Only a small part, adjacent to the previous library Dongming Thatched Cottage Next to it is the Mingzhou Stele Forest, with hundreds of stone tablets that record the official history of ancient education built on the wall to form a courtyard, protected by a long corridor. In the courtyard Zun Jing Ge Hetianyi Pavilion. To the south is the expanded garden, with rockeries, ponds, and pavilions scattered in a neat and orderly manner between the East and South Gardens. The East Garden is also shaded by green trees, with many trunks bearing "green hair" - Wawei, an ancient fern plant that is hermaphroditic and also a Chinese herbal medicine. Interesting animal stone carvings collected from various sources are scattered throughout. Several courtyards further south are used for display and exhibition purposes. We were fortunate to have met a volunteer guide from the Ningbo Museum and an old Ningbo. The guide's professionalism, combined with the vivid memories of old Ningbo, made us feel like we had seen the living Tianyi Pavilion. The most commendable thing in the park is the Shenlongben《 Lanting The "Preface" stone carvings were originally carved on the stone by the Ming Dynasty calligrapher Feng Fang, who invited someone to copy the original copy of the "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion" from the Tang Dynasty worshipped calligrapher Feng Chengsu and others. The calligraphy work of Feng Fang, a friend of Fan Qin, "Di Zhu Xing," is also displayed here. The first exhibition to the east of the exhibition area is the Mahjong Exhibition Hall in the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, which displays mahjong tiles of various materials from ancient and modern times, as well as from all over the world. Mr. Chen Zhengyao is considered to be the inventor of mahjong. This game, which originated from ancient horse tags and dice, took shape in the mid to late Qing Dynasty. Chen integrated and optimized it, and it became popular among fishermen in Ningbo. As a leisure activity during long-term fishing at sea, he was not afraid of getting wet by the sea. The name of mahjong comes from the Ningbo dialect "sparrow". Sparrows are land birds, and when fishermen return from the sea, seeing sparrows means they have arrived home. Mr. Chen, due to his proficiency in English, also passed on mahjong to foreigners. Japanese samurai learned about mahjong from foreigners, so the three people at the mahjong table in Chen's ancestral hall are Chen, the British Consul in Ningbo, and Japanese samurai, leaving a spot for tourists. Many people sit in this position to take photos, but more choose to touch the hands of their ancestors as a souvenir. Walking westward in a room, only one Wangong sedan was displayed, known as the best sedan in the world. This was the "luxury car" of a wealthy man in Ningbo when he married his daughter. It was 150 centimeters long, 90 centimeters wide, and 275 centimeters high. Firstly, it adopts the technique of Zhu Jin wood carving, with a vermilion lacquer base decorated with gold foil stickers. Various carving methods are used to carve characters, flowers, birds, fish, and insects, symbolizing auspicious blessings such as blessings from the Heavenly Palace, qilin giving birth, kuixing dots, and occupying the top of the Aotou. The sedan is surrounded by gold and silver embroidery, accompanied by handmade glass painting. The flower sedan is made of local century old camphor wood and adopts a mortise and tenon structure, with 238 accessories easily disassembled and assembled. When there are luxury cars, they naturally need to be paired with a convoy. The saying "a thousand acres of fertile land, ten miles of red makeup" refers to the grand formation of the wedding procession. Going further west is rich in the cultural characteristics of Ningbo commercial gangs Qin Clan Ancestral Hall This ancestral hall, built in the 1920s, was built by the son of Ningbo tycoon Qin Jun'an. The Qin family originally had the Qin family ancestral hall, but it was in disrepair for a long time. Qin Zi wanted to rebuild it, but due to opposition from his family, he had to choose a new site and build this branch temple. He also held his breath and spared no expense in hiring the best construction team. The materials were exquisite and the workmanship was meticulous, and this exquisite and beautiful temple was built. It was covered in wood carvings, brick carvings, and stone carvings, and the flower windows were filled with wealth, featuring copper coins and bat patterns. Among them, the most beautiful is the stage, especially the caisson, where 16 curves consisting of arch of wooden architecture flower plates and upturned mouths converge to form a dome, which is ranked first by experts in eastern Zhejiang. I came back in the evening and saw online that today is Museum Day, which is quite a meaningful day.
The next day, I went to Shaoxing in the rain. It rained intermittently along the way, but luckily it stopped raining when we reached Ke Yan. We didn't take an umbrella as a result and got soaked all the way back. What's even luckier is that the ticket price is discounted today, at 80 yuan per person, because it's probably a tourist day. Keshan used to be a quarry in ancient times, leaving behind various wonders such as stone cliffs, caves, ponds, and walls. As soon as I arrived at the scenic area, a tour guide gave a reliable explanation to a team, so I joined the team. The classic route is Ke Yan- Jianhu Lake - Lu Town Sitting in the middle is a covered boat. The first thing you see is a circular square, with a curved wall next to it engraved with the full text of the Diamond Sutra. Standing on the center dot of the square, you can hear echoes when speaking. Not far ahead, you can see the Stone Buddha, which was a meticulous work of three generations of stone craftsmen during the Sui and Tang dynasties. Moving forward is the landmark "Cloud Bone" of Ke Yan. The over 30 meter high inverted pagoda shaped rock has a rough surface, mottled colors, and has stood stubbornly for thousands of years. What is even more stubborn is the ancient cypress on the top of the rock. It has lived alone for thousands of years, receiving nourishment from unknown sources. Turning to the other side of the lake, the cloud bone shape has become slender and soft, like a slender top. Or the name given to it by literati is elegant: furnace pillar, clear smoke. Continuing into the newly constructed landscape of Sanyuan, the three standing statues of Laozi, Confucius, and Shakyamuni are combined with a half black and half white portrait. The author has a profound meaning, which I think is a bit far fetched. The sky was grey, but the tour guide girl brought a spring vibe and had a lively conversation. While introducing the scenery, she also talked about her childhood in Shaoxing, the local cuisine cooked by her grandmother, and even sang a Shaoxing opera. Her voice was sweet and her words were correct and round. Although I didn't understand a word, I was still fascinated. There are many famous scholars in Yue, including Dayu, Goujian, Wang Xizhi, Lu You, Xu Wei, Qiu Jin, Zhou Enlai, Lu Xun, and Zhu Kezhen. Among them, Lu Xun can be recognized at a glance. Dayu was placed alone in a pool of water, and the chest of the statue was empty. Some say he had no selfish intentions, while others say he lacked care for his family. There were footprints by the pool, only the right foot was left, because Da Yu had been soaking in the water for years to control the water, and his left foot had rotted. We were about to take a boat to Lu Town when it started raining again. Fortunately, there was a shelter waiting for the boat. I didn't expect the Wupeng boat to be so big, capable of accommodating more than twenty people. The bamboo strips on the top of the boat are beautifully woven, and the shells are neatly embedded, which is very exquisite. Getting off the ship requires walking for a while ancient towpath Although it has been repaired, it still hangs a bit, especially when it rains. Further ahead to the shore is Lu Town. Previously, there was a group of statues: Laoshi Toulao, referring to King Yue Goujian's campaign against Wu. The villagers offered wine to practice, and Goujian poured the wine into the river for the soldiers to drink together, boosting their morale. Both Qun Diao and Lu Town are newly built, and a commercial street is not very innovative. The places and characters depicted by Lu Xun add a touch of difference to Lu Town. The stage and theater used to frequently perform programs, but they stopped performing after the epidemic. After swimming in Lu Town in the rain, I returned to the city to eat. I chose Shimao for parking convenience Crowne Plaza The hotel in Yuedu Mansion was about to finish work again. After hastily eating and taking a taxi to Lu Xun's former residence, he didn't even bring an umbrella or put on shoe covers. The rain grew heavier and heavier, and it was okay to have a corridor in the former residence. Walking along the corridor, not only were there many rooms, but the facilities were also exquisite, marveling at the prosperity of the Lu family's life. Although Lu Xun later fought against the government, he still enjoyed high salaries and fame, which requires great wisdom. Because I heard that Hometown of the Book Saint It's worth seeing and taking a taxi to get there. During the waiting time for the car, the clothes were mostly soaked through. The hometown of the Book Saint is also newly built, and many people don't know it, and the driver doesn't know it either. They followed the navigation and walked a long and winding alley, putting us at a crossroads. After getting off the car, we didn't see any signs, and there were no people around. Turning right was a residential area, and after asking a few questions, we found out that the hometown of the Book Saint was going to turn left. The rain not only soaked our clothes, but also our shoes, and we couldn't even keep our eyes open. After walking for several tens of meters, I saw the archway of the "Hometown of the Book Saint" and had my husband wait under the eaves. I groped my way through the dark rain and mist, but there was nothing but a pond, two locked rooms, and grass and trees everywhere, and no one. At the end, I finally met an older sister who persisted in taking a walk on rainy days. She told me that this was a small park, and Wang Xizhi's former residence was in the community I saw after getting off the car. I walked back and found that there was still some distance, and it would take time to go in for a visit. I was afraid my husband would be anxious, so I came back. Take a taxi back to the hotel to pick up the car and return to Ningbo.
On the third day, I braved the rain and went to Xikou. The road to the scenic area was wide and flat, like a newly built one. When I arrived at the entrance of the scenic area, I was led into the basement. There was no elevator from the basement, but when I walked south to the tourist center, it was two to three hundred meters away. You had to go there to buy tickets, and the management was very strict and inhumane. Cannot enter the tourist center directly from the basement? The tourist center is very large, with only one door for entry and exit. The garage and tourist center are both on the south bank of the Yangtze River, while the scenic area is on the north bank. After buying a ticket, you need to walk several hundred meters across the river to get there Wuling Gate . nowadays Xikou Scenic Area contain Chiang's former residence Xuedou Mountain Two major scenic spots, a combined ticket costs 220 yuan. In the morning, there were not many visitors, so we visited along Wuling Road one by one Chiang's Ancestral Hall Fenghao House Yutai Salt Shop In addition to displaying items, there are also a large number of photos and introductions in Jiang's mother's old residence, which is quite informative. Overall, the Jiang family is relatively orthodox and simple, with a slightly sophisticated ancestral temple that includes sculptures, wood carvings, painted works, as well as Chiang Kai shek's brushstrokes. The most impressive thing is that there are several photo studios along the street, each with an actor dressed up as Chiang Kai shek, wearing a long black shirt, black sunglasses, bald head, and holding a civilized stick, standing on the street to solicit business. One of them is said to have played Chiang Kai shek in movies and TV dramas. Another thing is that there are many people selling thousand layer pancakes. I bought a bag of seaweed flavored ones, which are crispy and fragrant, but too dry. When I was in Wuling, the weather was fine and it didn't rain much. Drive out to Xuedou Mountain, passing by Jiang Mu Cemetery The cemetery is composed of Tomb passage of Jiang's mother and Rhododendron Valley It is said that the scenery is very beautiful, so even though there are no azaleas now, I still want to go and see them. I didn't expect this tomb passage to be so long, climbing up the stairs all the way. The stone steps were wet and slippery, and people were wrapped in a lush greenery without seeing much scenery. There were several rooms at the entrance, which were Jiang's residence during tomb sweeping, with handwritten couplets. Now this is a small exhibition room. It's okay not to go to this scenic spot. Arriving at Xuedou Mountain, where clouds and mist rise, take the scenic bus to the first stop Xuedou Temple Following a tourist group, I got off the bus with a visibility of no more than 100 meters. The temple is very large and new, with a small Buddha statue in front of the mountain gate, a basin of water and a scooper in front. Several tourists are bathing in the Buddha. Behind the the Shakya ManiHall is the Buddha. When we turned around, we saw the Buddha's head hanging in the air. We wanted to see the full picture later, but the Buddha disappeared completely in two or three minutes. We don't think it's possible for a pond or waterfall to show up like this. Let's go back home. I lost out on buying a joint ticket.
I originally wanted to go to Zhoushan, but the weather was really not suitable. It rained continuously, which dampened my mood for playing. The Ningbo Museum came to relieve my worries. The exhibition hall is a modern building that incorporates historical elements, with a spacious interior that forms a space for internal and external communication on the third floor. It uses folk building methods and collected old bricks to build walls, reflecting the characteristics of Ningbo. It is a place for taking photos and taking photos, as well as a filming location for film and television works. The exhibition focuses on Hemudu culture and Yuezhou kiln porcelain. Yuezhou Kiln originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty and is the oldest porcelain, flourishing from the Tang to the Five Dynasties period. The most famous is undoubtedly the secret colored porcelain, which eventually disappeared during the rise of official kilns in the Southern Song Dynasty. The lotus leaf tea cup is the treasure of the town. The folk exhibition area introduces local time-honored brands and folk crafts. Through the glass, we can see the authentic Wangong sedan (a replica in the Tianyi Pavilion), as well as the unique and time-honored brand Gangyagou. This is the first time I have heard of it. Gangyagou was founded by a Ningbo person named Jiang Agu in 1926 Chenghuang Temple He started his business with the patterns of water vats, ducks and yellow dogs, specializing in glutinous rice desserts such as rice dumpling and Babaofan (Rice pudding with eight-delicious ingredients). The Ningbo History Exhibition is mainly presented in the form of pictures and text. Ningbo, abbreviated as Yong, is a cultural region of Hemudu, formerly known as Yin, Yue, Juzhang, Guixian, and Mingzhou. In the Hongwu year of the Ming Dynasty, it was renamed Ningbo to avoid the national name taboo. During the Southern Song Dynasty, maritime trade began with Korea and Japan, and after the Treaty of Nanjing, it opened up and entered modernization. The first Chinese ship appeared in Ningbo, with ports, warehouses, lighthouses, and other facilities built one after another, becoming a hub for trade between various countries and China. Old Bund This is the evidence left by this period.
The Old Bund has now turned into a bar street, with old western-style houses either converted into bars or hotels and homestays. It is unclear whether it is due to the impact of the epidemic or some other reason. There are few customers, and the streets are bustling with lights, wine, and music, leaving the shops empty. After leaving the Old Bund Sanjiangkou At night, the landscape lights lit up, revealing the prosperity of modern cities. Walking by the river, I was dazzled by something. Looking down, I saw the lights of the bridge splashing into the water like a piece of silver. Not far to the west is drum-tower Pedestrian street, mainly consisting of restaurants and food shops, surrounded by farmers' markets and large food stalls, is very down-to-earth. The popularity here is very strong, and it is true that the people are naive about food. I casually entered a palace peach pastry shop, where there were many people picking and queuing up. All kinds of pastries were quite tempting. Since it's called a peach pastry shop, let's buy a box of peach pastries. As soon as I came back to eat, I immediately regretted buying less. On the return journey, passing through the Hangzhou Bay Bridge, a hotel and observation deck were specially built in the middle for people to enjoy the entire bridge—— Hai Tian Yi Zhou . The weather is bad, so I decided to stop and take a look, but I don't plan to spend any money. It is divided into two parts: the main platform and the sightseeing tower. The hotel is located on the main platform, and the sightseeing tower is 145 meters high. When driving into this floor, there is a parking lot, and there is no place to view. You need to buy a ticket to go upstairs to enjoy the view. It costs 75 yuan per person, and I think this design is too cheap. Can't people take a look below? I am more of a chicken thief, never buying tickets, just enjoying the bathroom and leaving.
The Meiju Hotel in Yinzhou, Ningbo has recently opened and is located in Jiangdong, between the old and new cities. Therefore, the street is relatively wide, making parking easier and not far from the city center. The hotel is not large and has all the necessary amenities. The breakfast area, leisure area, and reception area on the first floor are simple and elegant, while there is a laundry room on the third floor. The staff are very enthusiastic and always greet each other. Separate the shower, toilet, and sink. The room is intelligent and the switch is user-friendly. In addition to two bottles of free water, the small refrigerator also has free cola, soda, water, and mineral water, which are replenished daily. The bed is relatively hard, the shower is enjoyable, and the door is thick and heavy. There aren't many varieties of breakfast, but the quality is quite good, with Chinese cuisine being the main focus. The unsatisfactory point is that the room is small, and two people can't turn it around. There is only one chair, and the other person can only sit on the bed.
There are many types of sea fish in Ningbo, including hairtail, yellow croaker, and silver pomfret, as well as plum fish, jade bald fish, double bald fish (sole order?), net tide fish (octopus?), zhang tiao, qi fish, and cang fish, which are difficult to understand and cannot be eaten. The first meal in Ningbo was served with authentic Zhoushan seafood in the original flavor, in a shopping center with a semi open environment and a large screen live broadcast of kitchen operations. Smoked hairtail is Zhoushan hairtail, crispy and oily. The method is to marinate it first and then fry it, which has little to do with smoking; The oil fried shrimp made me mistakenly think it was really "shrimp". When I came up, it looked like a plate of shrimp; The cucumber Chicken rolls is refreshing, and the Artemisia and oyster soup is delicious. All the dishes taste great. I saw someone praising me online Ninghai Restaurant, I couldn't find a parking spot when I drove over to the entrance of the store. After a long turn, I still couldn't find it. I'll drive back and take a taxi. If it doesn't taste good, we really can't live up to our heartfelt feelings. Cold dishes and stewed dishes are clear dishes, and looking at the dishes, they are generally not wrong. Seafood and river delicacies are placed on ice, and you can choose your own ingredients and recipes. I ordered steamed plum fish, can you see two liang when you come up? Taste it, it's really delicious, it melts right into the mouth, tender but not greasy. Steamed flatfish is also small and tender, but slightly greasy. The signature dish of crab sauce is out of stock. I ordered another signature dish, crab sauce, which has a salty and fresh taste and is perfect for pairing with rice. It's just that spitting the skin is a bit troublesome. The abalone is a bit hard, I don't know if it's because it's too big or steamed and aged. The fried rice dumpling served is delicious. The waiter was very diligent and changed the dishes several times in the middle. This store is very popular, and you have to wait for a seat when you arrive late. Moreover, I have observed that the takeout volume is very large, almost equivalent to the dine in volume. Although I spent more than 500 yuan and took a round-trip taxi, I still don't feel at a loss. The name Alaming Zao Ala Ningbo is so long and the storefront is so small that we didn't see it when we drove by (of course, neither of them had good eyesight). This should be a restaurant that locals often come to. I came to eat by car, but there was no parking space in front of the door. Even when I found a nearby hospital, I couldn't park my car, so I had to drive back and take a taxi. Those who arrive a little more, wait for 4 tables. The storefront is not large and the decoration is simple. The dishes are on display, and you can order them on your own using a food dispenser. The dishes are similar to Ninghai Restaurant and are cheaper. Dried bamboo shoots and grilled meat have a strong flavor, and the meat is very thin and chewy. The Big Double Bald Fish is not too big and its meat is relatively thin; Zhangtiao is my first time eating it, and the meat is fine and slightly greasy; Braised pork belly is trendy and crispy, and the onions inside are even more delicious; Roasted bran and lamb tail bamboo shoots are two refreshing and delicious cold dishes. The dishes are all very homely and delicious, not greasy or too salty, and the price of over 300 is quite affordable.
Passing through Wuxi on the return journey, it's not the cherry blossom season and I don't want to make any more stops. I originally booked Yaduo, but saw that the newly opened Wanda Yihua Hotel was on sale and advertised as a luxury model, so I changed my reservation. When booking, there was no parking space according to the introduction. The day before checking in, I called to inquire about an underground garage. Don't worry. But there is not enough parking space, of course, the hotel can coordinate with nearby parking lots. The hotel lobby is tall and beautiful, the elevator is fast and smooth, and the hallway is well lit. The room has sufficient space, the bed and bedding are comfortable, but the equipment is too old and there is not enough space for luggage. There is no wardrobe, no refrigerator, and a posture that can save as much as possible. After placing furniture, the room appears crowded. The bathroom is too small, only one person can enter, there is no shower room, standing in the bathtub to wash. The bathtub looks like it's in its twenties or thirties, with a mottled surface. The nozzle is only handheld, with a small water outlet area and sufficient water flow. Half of the bathtub has a glass panel to prevent water from splashing out easily. Breakfast is at the top 360 degree viewing restaurant, but it seems like only half was used, mainly Chinese style, with average ingredients and average cooking. This hotel is newly renovated, and you can feel that the previous hotel was quite upscale. Now you can only borrow the original shelf and slightly decorate it. The price of 500 after folding left and right is unbearable, the original price is really not worth it. The hotel is not far from the Qingming Bridge Ancient Canal Scenic Area. We had lunch at Yueban Lane in Nanxiatang - Jianghu Cuisine - Wuxi Cuisine. They closed at 1:30 pm, and I rushed to 1:30 pm to make sure they agreed to cook for us. This restaurant scored very high on the review. It ordered the signature dishes the Taihu Lake Sanbai, Crystal Shrimp and Fish ball soup, which tasted good, but the fish ball soup was not good enough. Compared to the positive reviews of the dishes, the storefront dare not compliment. There is a trash can under each table, many food boxes are placed in one corner of the restaurant, the bathroom is very simple, and the sink is dirty. After finishing the meal, walk back along Nanchang Street to digest the food, which is another unique antique street. Keep walking all the way to Nanchan Temple. The market in front of the temple is very lively, with various flavors filling every corner, some mild and some stimulating, some sweet and some foul smelling. I bought a glass of snow pear water, which was very rare. My husband drank his first cup of Ruixing coffee, which was also very rare. H ä agen Dazs, which occupies a prominent position, may have a different taste in such traditional Chinese architecture. I haven't entered the temple and it's not very interesting to look outside. It's too far to go to Yuantouzhu and I can't think of a better place. So I decided to go to Huishan for a walk. When I was a child, my dad went on a business trip to Wuxi and brought back a Huishan clay figurine for each of us. He gave me a chubby little child lying on the ground with a watermelon on his back and crossing his legs, which was very vivid, so I remembered this place. After waiting for a long time, the owner turned out to be unfamiliar with the road and had to take a long detour before coming over. And he has never been to Huishan in the future, so he feels like he knows very little about Wuxi. The flagship building in Huishan is quite imposing, with a large lawn where parents play with their children. The road up the mountain is a narrow dirt road, where there are only trees and nothing to see on the mountain, which is quite eerie. Occasionally, I encounter a few people who exercise, and after walking for a while, I return.
Along the way, what impressed me the most was the high ticket prices, and many bundled expenses, such as scenic buses, boats, etc., also had restrictions on tourist routes, just to encourage tourists to consume. Difficulties in urban parking have been encountered in Ningbo, Shaoxing, and Qingtian. The streets in the old city area are narrow, with many one-way lanes, making it difficult to find parking lots. Even if a parking space is found, it is still narrow and cannot be opened when parked. I once planned to park at Ningbo First Hospital, but the underground garage had a double decker parking rack. My car couldn't even park in the parking space, so I had to drive it out. Although many cars are parked on the roadside, as an outsider, I dare not park. Too many trash cans can also be frustrating. If there are trash cans, there will be people throwing garbage, and there will be dirty and messy phenomena. Each trash can is a source of pollution. I experienced a life without trash cans in Japan, and the streets are indeed clean. Of course, there are also times when I walk back to the hotel with trash. The trash cans in the scenic area are not only dirty, but also eye-catching. When taking photos with a camera, one often cannot avoid the trash cans. Some people may not have noticed it at the time, but they only realize it when they come back to organize their photos. Another thing is that the rain in the south is lingering, affecting the itinerary multiple times. Many people like the misty and rainy scenery, but I still prefer the clear sky for thousands of miles.
