2021-03-19, Nanjing Xuanwu Lake, Yangzhou

The drizzle moistens everything, peaches and plums are competing for fragrance, the spring breeze supports willows, and the apricot blossoms fall like rain. The most suitable month of the year is here to go hiking and enjoy flowers. At the best time, see the most beautiful flowers, and go hiking and sweep tombs every year. This is the people of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai yearning for spring. It is also a good way to remember their ancestors and contact relatives. In 2020, due to disease prevention and control, the most beautiful March hiking and flower viewing season was missed, and the annual ceremony was also suspended. The opportunity to sweep and gather with relatives and friends. When an inadvertent touch of bright color and fragrance comes to us, this vibrant March of 2021 can no longer stop us from yearning for the poetic Jiangnan spring.........

The saying,"Fireworks fall under Yangzhou in March" is self-evident. Jiangsu has been an excellent place to enjoy flowers since ancient times. From February to April, spring flowers such as plum, cherry blossoms, peaches, and olay are blooming one after another in this land of fish and rice. Nanjing, Wuxi, Yangzhou, and Xinghua each have different colors. The poetic spring in Jiangsu is simply stunning. The people of the country are fascinated by it. Because our ancestors lived in Nanjing and Changzhou, while Yangzhou and Wuxi had close relatives, we really had the right time and location. Cleaning tombs and enjoying flowers was a good opportunity to keep in touch with family relations every year, and it was also a good opportunity to feast our eyes and taste.

I contacted and made appointments with relatives and friends in various places early in early March. Now various appointments have become the norm. After making appointments with relatives and friends, I quickly made reservations for several places to go. The final itinerary: departure on March 19, The first stop is Nanjing (tomb sweeping + flower viewing), and the evening is to Yangzhou (visiting relatives and checking in). On the 3rd and 20th, we went to Changzhou at noon (to visit tombs and visit relatives) and to Wuxi in the afternoon (to visit tombs, visit friends, and check in). On March 21, I enjoyed cherry blossoms in Yuantouzhu, Wuxi, and went home in the afternoon. This kind of arrangement avoids the large passenger flow during the Qingming Festival and also catches up with the best flower viewing time in these places.

On the morning of March 19th, we began a three-day outing and flower appreciation tour in the drizzle. We drove along the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway and turned to the Shanghai-Wuhan Expressway towards Nanjing. We passed the Jintan Maoshan Expressway Service Area and decided to take a rest here. Because we had rested here before and were deeply impressed by the environment here. Now that the economic level of southern Jiangsu is developing at a high level, the service area on this highway has become more and more beautiful. It is no longer simply providing commodity purchase, but many service areas have become a collection of commerce, A complex of entertainment and scenery. This Maoshan service area seems to have been renovated. The service area is backed by the Maodong Reservoir. Opposite the reservoir is the Oriental Salt Lake City and Maoshan Scenic Area. The service area in front of us is completely like a beautiful tourist attraction. Beside the reservoir, faint clouds and mist surround the spring willows on the bank. A picture of poetry, painting and misty rain is yearning. The fog is shrouded in the misty rain painting by the lake, and the rain as thin as silk falls on the plank road by the lake. It has a meaningful conception of listening to the spring rain overnight. The ink style of the Misty Rain Jiangnan is faint and swaying in the slow spring hours.

At noon, we had already arrived near Yuhuatai in Nanjing. By then, the rain had stopped. We quickly completed our first activity in Nanjing to pay homage to our ancestors and pay tribute to our memories. Then, as before, I gathered with relatives and friends nearby for a meal. After gathering family ties, the next step was to view Jinling City soaked in the sea of flowers.

In the golden land of the six dynasties, Jinling is most remembered. Speaking of Nanjing, we are no stranger to it. It has a history of 2500 years of city building and a history of 450 years of capital building. It is known as the "Ancient Capital of the Six Dynasties", the "Capital of the Ten Dynasties", the "World's Cultural Hub", and the "No. 1 Learning in the Southeast". It is also the first city in my country to be selected as the "World Literary Capital". It can be said that it is beautiful in mountains and rivers and antique in style. It is poetic and profound in heritage. It is an old dream of the Republic of China and also happy and livable. It is said that the south of the Yangtze River is misty and rainy, but Nanjing, which is close to the Yangtze River, is sometimes not popular among people in southern Jiangsu, Shanghai, and northern Zhejiang. However, in this spring-filled March and April, it has to surrender. This "beautiful place in Jiangnan and the imperial state of Jinling" has a spring color that is comparable to Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the cherry blossoms are romantically challenging Kyoto, and there are ancient charm and thickness that all over the world cannot imagine... Because I come to Nanjing every year, I still have a little understanding of Nanjing at this moment. Although I look up and feel more romantic than Kyoto, Jimingsi Avenue, the best place to see cherry blossoms in Nanjing, belongs to tourists. On Jimingsi Avenue, I have experienced the comparison of people with flowers. In spring, Xuanwu Lake, where there are no tourists, belongs to the locals. Nanjing has been here every year, but it has not been to Xuanwu Lake for many years. Today, I will leave the next time to Xuanwu Lake,"China's largest royal garden lake."

It took less than half an hour to drive from Yuhuatai to the Nanjing International Exhibition Center, where parking is relatively easy. I walked into the Cuizhou Gate of Xuanwu Lake from the side door. As soon as I entered the door, I became intoxicated. When I looked up, I saw a romantic sea of flowers all over the sky. I accidentally bumped into the bright spring. Everywhere I can see, there are a colorful world. Cherry blossoms bloom on the branches and are brilliant, crabapple blossoms also bloom like brocade, beautiful and touching. The dark fragrance of magnolia flowers are covered with clouds. Beautiful, peach blossoms also usher in colorful beauty. Hundreds of flowers compete for beauty and bloom, and the spring is in full bloom. The red is dazzling, the yellow is gorgeous, and the white is holy. The expectations that have been hidden for the whole winter are all in the spring light of Xuanwu Lake at this moment. Strolling along the long embankment of Cuizhou, you will find green willows spitting smoke, flowers blooming on the street, and the breeze passing by, it will confuse your eyebrows and sweeten your heart. The sparkling Xuanwu Lake is so beautiful that it will suffocate, telling you that spring is really here. Now, everything is just right, the flowers are blooming, the colors climb to the branches, the wind is gentle, the temperature is just right, and the happiness it gives people is also just right. The flowers live up to the season, and the seasons live up to the flowers. The spring of Xuanwu Lake is hidden between the flowers blooming and falling. Walk casually to the viewing platform near the lake and look around. What is displayed in front of you is a beautiful long scroll of the city with mountains and rivers. Standing on the viewing platform and looking east, you can see the majestic Zhongshan peaks and boundless forests. The winding paths are connected by embankments and bridges and between water pavilions and towers. The winding paths are quiet, showing the fusion of mountains, rivers, cities and forests everywhere, but without losing the elegance of the imperial capital. Walking leisurely along the path by the lake, with a swaying greenery above your head, breathing fresh air, like a natural oxygen bar. Xuanwu Lake has always been a tourist hotspot in Nanjing, and boating Xuanwu Lake is a love for many people. The water and the sky are in the same color, The sound of blue oars and the lines of poems are like notes, passing by the wind, condensing the beauty of the times.

Xuanwu Lake is divided into five continents, namely: Huanzhou, Yingzhou, Lingzhou, Liangzhou and Cuizhou. Between continents, embankments and bridges connect, gurgling clear water and surrounded by greenery, forming a beautiful landscape picture that blends classical beauty and modern beauty. We walked from Cuizhou to Liangzhou, standing on a high place, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, there are endless pink cherry blossoms on both sides of the Fangqiao connecting Huanzhou. Cherry blossoms bloom here like clouds and dreams. Xuanwu Lake is the most beautiful place this season. It is Yingzhou. Many cherry blossoms on Yingzhou were planted during the Wang puppet government period. At this moment, on the shores of Yingzhou, cherry blossoms are planted all over the forest, and cherry blossoms are blooming on the branches. You will find that cherry trees are everywhere by the lake, in the forest, and on the side of the road. Sakura Island during the cherry blossom season, in the cherry blossom forest. There are clouds and snow, and the air is sweet. In addition to cherry blossoms, there are also magnolia, magnolia, smiling dimples, apricot flowers, hanging silk crabapple, etc. on Yingzhou. We are surrounded by luxuriant leaves, purple and fragrant. Overflowing, in the many brilliant scenery, it seems to be stepping into a sea of flowers, but those troubles disappear with them, but the lake in the heart follows. We come to the end of Yingzhou. On the other side of the lake are Jiefang Gate and the Ming City Wall, and there are also beautiful Jiuhua Mountain and the antique Jiming Temple are surrounded around."In the Southern Dynasty, there are 480 temples, many towers and towers in the misty rain. Looking at the buildings with a long history in front of you, it seems like you have traveled to the Ming Dynasty, and the modern buildings with tall buildings not far away constitute a beautiful landscape picture that combines classical beauty and modern beauty.

Xuanwu Lake Park is not small. Looking at the time, we had been wandering in the park for nearly three hours. Because we had to rush to Yangzhou, relatives and friends in Yangzhou had already prepared a sumptuous dinner waiting for us, and decided not to go to the lake. Lingzhou, the last continent in the lake, has returned. Looking at flowers and appreciating spring, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, stepping on the infinite spring breeze, the long wind and the sparkling water of Xuanwu Lake allow us to freeze the beauty of Nanjing in our hearts this spring!

We left Nanjing and drove straight to Yangzhou. We drove through the streets of Yangzhou, where peach trees and plums were competing for fragrance and spring breeze supported willow trees. We went directly to the Jinhuaiyang Hotel located on Siwangting Road. The family of my aunt, who had not seen her for two years, had already prepared a feast waiting for us.

"Fireworks fall under Yangzhou in March", so that the spring scenery of Jiangnan with red flowers and green willows is not wasted. After all, no matter how many times I listen to the beauty of Yangzhou, I can't appreciate one-thousandth of its beauty. If you don't go to Yangzhou, how can you know the poetic meaning of "Ten Miles Yangzhou Road in the Spring Breeze"; if you don't go to Yangzhou, how can you understand how slow this quiet town is and makes people forget to leave. This city with a history of more than 2500 years has too many wonderful things that attract people's attention. Of course, as important as the beautiful scenery of Yangzhou is the delicious food of Yangzhou. Yangzhou, as the main birthplace of Huaiyang cuisine, which connects the north and the south and blends the east and the west, has too many delicacies that the old gourmets can't forget to leave. Only by eating authentic Huaiyang cuisine can you appreciate the best of Yangzhou.

Huaiyang cuisine is one of the four traditional Chinese cuisines, originating in Yangzhou and Huai 'an. The cuisine is full of Huai and Yang characteristics. Most of the raw materials are aquatic products. Most of the Huaiyang cuisine is based on rivers and lakes, supported by top-notch cooking skills, based on the original flavor and quality, and pursued by all tastes. It is appreciated by both elegance and customs without losing its elegance, especially the unique concept of "harmony, refinement, clarity and novelty". Among Huaiyang cuisine,"Yang" refers to Yangcai, the Yangtze River Basin represented by Yangzhou,"Huai" refers to Huaihe cuisine, and the Huaihe River Basin represented by Huaian. Chinese cooking is culture, science and art. Huaiyang cuisine is a major crystallization of it, and it is also a major manifestation of the essential characteristics of Chinese cuisine that "taste is the core and cultivation is the purpose". Although Huaiyang cuisine originated in Yangzhou and Huai 'an, due to Yangzhou's historical position and rich history, Huaiyang cuisine has been carried forward in Yangzhou and formed a branch of Huaiyang cuisine, Weiyang cuisine. Weiyang cuisine is the nickname of Yangzhou cuisine and the main component of Huaiyang cuisine today. However, compared with Huaiyang cuisine, its scope is basically limited to Yangzhou. Since ancient times, the emergence of a food culture must have a strong economic foundation behind it. As the core of the economy and culture of the Huaiyang region, Yangzhou naturally gave birth to the Huaiyang cuisine with Weiyang cuisine as the core. Therefore, the root of Huaiyang cuisine lies in Yangzhou, which is also a knowledge gained after I came to Yangzhou every year.

Yangzhou people not only eat lavishly and meticulously, but also eat delicately. This Jinhuaiyang Hotel I came here today specializes in authentic Weiyang cuisine. Most of them are locals, and the private rooms are basically full. In front of a large table full of authentic and exquisite Weiyang dishes, we ate delicious food and recounted the joy of meeting again after parting. Family affection and delicious food are really a thousand cups of wine when we meet each other.

After having a full meal and wine at the Jinhuaiyang Hotel, the high atmosphere that had just left the hotel came up again. Because we haven't seen each other for two years, I have endless words to say. Today, it is a rare opportunity to meet. My cousin and cousin suggested that the elderly and children go back to rest early. We would find a place to drink and chat to relax. After eating the exquisite Weiyang feast, we would go to a place where barbecues are crowded in Yangzhou, find a small street barbecue shop, and take a sip of meat and wine to mobilize the atmosphere. It can release feelings most. At this time, food and wine are no longer the protagonists. Meeting and family affection made us not return to the hotel until early in the morning.

2021-03-20, Yangzhou, Changzhou, Wuxi

Some people say that people who envy Yangzhou spend the whole spring living in Jiangnan paintings. In the poem "Fireworks fall under Yangzhou in March, and the spring breeze stretches across Yangzhou Road", most of Yangzhou cannot be separated from spring, and this place seems to have become synonymous with spring. Fireworks will fall in Yangzhou in March, so this spring is perfect. The beauty of Yangzhou lies in the fact that flowers, willows, pavilions and bridges set off each other. There are pavilions among the flowers and plants, and pavilions among the trees, complementing each other.

It was early in the morning when I returned to the hotel after drinking alcohol last night. When I woke up, it was already dawn. My aunt's house had invited us to have morning tea, but when we come to Yangzhou, we can't just eat and watch. Get up quickly and seize the time to take a walk on the streets of Yangzhou when the fireworks are in March. Take a walk, drive from the hotel on Siwangting Road to Liuhu Road, walk along the river bank in the direction of Dahongqiao Bridge and have a look. The willow trees on the river stretch out with yellow and green leaves, fluttering gently in the slight spring breeze, just like a group of fairies dressed in green clothes are dancing. The peach trees sandwiched between the willows also bloomed bright flowers. The green willows and red flowers are really beautiful. The plum blossoms and peach blossoms on the river also ushered in colorful beauty. It is really a three-color separation, and the conception is cleverly drawn., the peaches are dyed with fragrance, and the scenery of Yangzhou is beautiful in the world. Everything in the world seems to have reached a unanimous reconciliation on the streets of Yangzhou. The world is dense and warm, the branches are filled with flowers, the wind is gentle, and the clouds are free. Walking through Hongqiao is Slender West Lake Park. Facing the brilliant spring light, some people are in Meiling Spring Deep taste the meaning of spring, some people are intoxicated by the dense spring fog in the misty rain of the Siqiao Bridge, and others recite poems and poems beside the spring willows on the Changdi.

Of course, I have no time and will not go to the crowded Slender West Lake. As usual, I go to the Yangzhou Guesthouse, which does not require tickets. The guesthouse itself, which faces Xuyuan in Slender West Lake Park, Siqiao Yanyu Tower, and Changdi Chunliu across the water. It is a garden, built next to the lake, with large areas of green plants, delicate flowers, winding corridors, pavilions on the lake, everything... What you hear in your ears is the crisp song of birds and the gurgling water. What you see in your eyes is the competition of flowers. The water of the Slender West Lake is sparkling. The cruise ships of the Slender West Lake Scenic Area shuttle through the lake. You can clearly see the shouting tourists in the scenic area, the small bridges in the scenic area, and the pavilions and pavilions in the scenic area. The nearest point is only about 50 meters away from the scenic area. Strolling in the guesthouse, which embraces mountains and contains water, is simple and elegant, with sparse trees, and green grass. The breeze is coming slowly and the dark fragrance is surging. Looking around, Green willows and red flowers everywhere. Seeing tourists coming one after another in the scenic area on the other side, the staff has been guiding tourists not to stay too long, but I enjoy this romance and tranquility alone, feeling the tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this kind of comfortable life that is not disturbed by outsiders is so wonderful that I can't help but raise my camera to print the scenery every step I take. The path full of flowers in the guesthouse is already beautiful, but who knew that after turning a corner, the scenery in front would be even more fascinating. I thought it was an extremely elegant pavilion, but who knew that in the future, the winding corridor in the green forest would contrast each other again. This spring, I wished myself a dream of Yangzhou in a misty rain. I realized it the moment I stepped into the Yangzhou Guesthouse. This is also the reason why I come to Yangzhou every year and often come to the guesthouse.

The two most famous places to drink morning tea in China are Guangdong and Yangzhou, and Yangzhou's morning tea culture has a long history."In the morning, the bag is filled with water, and in the evening is wrapped with water." As early as the prosperous years of the Qing Dynasty, Kang and Qian Dynasties, Yangzhou's wealthy businessmen developed an unprecedented legacy of tea drinking. Get up early and rush to the teahouse in the old alley to have a cup of morning tea and order a three-ding steamed buns or jade roast cakes. This is the real beginning of the day for Yangzhou people. Everyone in Yangzhou has their own favorite morning tea shop. If you invite friends who are visiting Yangzhou for the first time to have morning tea, people will go to famous tea houses such as Yechun and Fuchun. Locals go to eat by themselves and usually choose a garden tea house, or find an unknown shop directly on Meiling East Road, and keep your own "bag of water" is enough. Because we come to Yangzhou every year, we have basically eaten all the teahouses in Yangzhou with spring. Not far from my aunt's house is the local people's favorite Garden Tea House. In the past few years, we have become loyal diners of Garden Tea House when we have come to Yangzhou. Morning tea shops in Yangzhou eat quite early, starting at six or seven in the morning. In recent years, as the popularity of Yangzhou morning tea has become more and more famous, more and more tourists have come to Yangzhou, and the business of teahouses has become more and more popular. During holidays, the slightly famous teahouses such as Tathai and Tathai are a little later, and they are hard to find. My uncle came to the teahouse early to occupy a seat, and my cousin called me, who was still intoxicated by the beautiful scenery of the guest house, to go to the Garden Tea House for morning tea. The food content provided by each tea shop in Yangzhou is similar, with four types of food: tea, pasta, meat, and hot dried shredded silk. Hot and dry shredded silk, use Yangzhou's unique white dried meat, slice into at least 28 pieces, then cut into thin pieces, blanch with boiling water for 3 times to get cooked, and finally add secret soy sauce, sesame oil, dried shrimp and shredded ginger to season, suitable for each person. One portion. Boiling dried shredded silk is a refreshing and nutritious dish. The seasoning requirements for boiling dried shredded silk vary according to the seasons. In spring, in the old days, bamboo clam was used to add flavor and seafood was added to the flavor; in summer, it should be crispy, and the crispy rice silk is cooked with dried shredded silk to make the dishes dry and fragrant; in autumn, crab yellow is used, the soup is golden and the flavor is strong; in winter, wild vegetables are suitable, which are delicate and green, with harmonious colors, adding color and fragrance. Dried silk is not only famous all over the country, but also known as a "famous East Asian dish" by foreign guests. Yangzhou morning tea noodles have always been famous. There are many categories alone, such as three Ding Bao, five Ding Bao, bean skin Bao, steamed dumplings, pine nut steamed wheat, emerald steamed wheat, shrimp seed dumpling noodles, etc.

After we all sat down, each of us first served a bowl of shrimp seed wonton and then ate a portion of hot dried shredded silk. In fact, our stomach was full at this time. We pressed the mode of slowing down, chatting, chatting, and slowly tasting. We had a cup of fragrant tea, tasting the boiled dried shredded silk and cages of various steamed buns, basically we didn't need to eat lunch. After drinking a morning tea for more than two hours, I walked out of the teahouse with endless aftertaste. Yangzhou's delicious food was endless. Every time I came to Yangzhou, I ended up leaving looking greedy, but my stomach couldn't accommodate it. Because of this, Yangzhou never feels tired every year.

It was nearly noon after we left Yangzhou, and then we rushed directly to Changzhou to pay a memorial service. Relatives in Changzhou had been prepared to invite us to lunch, but they accepted it with kindness, but their stomachs couldn't hold it anymore. After completing Changzhou, we will go directly to the next destination, Wuxi, continue to sweep the ceremony, and stay in Wuxi at night.

2021-03-21, Yuantouzhu, Wuxi

Speaking of spring travel, Jiangnan has never been avoided since ancient times. In recent years, Wuxi, this ancient city of Jiangnan that was born next to the water, has become a new Internet celebrity check-in spot in March. Wuxi, known as the "Pearl of Taihu Lake", has its Yuantouzhu has long been known as the "No. 1 Scenic Spot in Taihu Lake" and is the best place to enjoy the scenery of Taihu Lake. In recent years, this Jiangnan water town has suddenly become famous in China and the world for its more than 100 varieties and more than 30000 cherry blossoms in Yuantouzhu. It is on the same footing as Japan's Hirosaki cherry blossoms and Washington's cherry blossoms in the United States. It has been recognized as one of the world's three major cherry blossoms resorts. In recent years, I have gone to Yuantouzhu many times to appreciate cherry blossoms. Some of them happened to be on time to see the scenery of Yuantouzhu overlapping and blooming like clouds and dreams after its peak flowering period. Some of them came a few days early, and the buds were full of branches were ready to bud. Or they came a few days late. There are colorful fallen flowers everywhere and flowers and leaves everywhere. Every year, Yuantouzhu flowers bloom and fall. When you come, it will bloom! If you don't come, it will open! Whether you come or not, she will be here waiting for you.

After experiencing the unforgettable spring of 2020, we decided that we would have another cherry blossom tour with our companions in March and blooming season this year in Wuxi. Yuantouzhu at this time of year has the most tourists. Except for "flowers and flowers", it means "everyone is everyone." After breakfast, relatives in Wuxi drove us to Yuantouzhu Chongshan Gate, which usually takes less than ten minutes to drive. But today, a few kilometers away from Baojie Bridge, we have fallen into a vast ocean full of private cars. We drove for nearly an hour after several kilometers of stop-and-go. When we reached Baojie Bridge, the car was blocked and motionless. It turned out that at around 8 o'clock in the morning, the Yuantouzhu parking lot was saturated, and traffic control was implemented on the surrounding roads. All vehicles except buses were prohibited from turning right when we got off the Baojie Bridge. Seeing this, we decided to abandon the car and walk to Yuantouzhu Chongshan Gate nearly two kilometers away. Walking for half an hour, I arrived at the crowded Chongshan Gate of Yuantouzhu Scenic Area. It showed the e-ticket that had been purchased online in advance yesterday. I scanned the QR code directly into the park and entered the Chongshan Gate. What came to my face was the cherry blossoms that had begun to bloom in large tracts although they had not reached the best flowering period. It seems that the scenery is promising.

It is about six to seven hundred meters away from the gate of Chongshan to the entrance of the Cherry Blossom Forest. This section of the road is smooth and suitable for walking. We walked along the lake-facing trail, surrounded by purple and red, colorful flowers, flowers, flower paths, and gardens are distributed everywhere. Wherever you can see, there is a colorful world. More than ten minutes later, we arrived at the Yuantouzhu Scenic Area, which is traditionally regarded as the starting point for cherry viewing. We walked along the Chongshan Hidden Show Trail, surrounded by clear water and mountains, small bridges and flowing water, covered bridges and pavilions, winding paths leading to the secluded scenery, diverse scenery, and scene step by step. Among the pavilions and pavilions, cherry blossoms flying everywhere, peach blossoms and crabapple flowers are also dotted among them. From the water bank to the pavilions, there are beautiful beauties as a foil. It can be said to be a scene step by step, as if it is a fairyland on earth, walking through the winding path of Chongshan and beautiful scenery leading to the secluded scenery. Then there is an open grassland. The grassland is surrounded by blooming cherry trees. The cherry blossoms bloom beautifully and intoxicating, the sun is shining, and the spring tide is surging. The blooming cherry blossoms tell people that the garden is full of spring. Tourists slow down here. Intoxicate in the spring light and linger in the best time of the year.

Continuing along the Chongshan Xiuyin Trail, you will find the lush forest Yixiu Bridge in Yuantouzhu. After passing through the door opening under the Yixiu Bridge and walking forward, you will arrive at the famous Friendship Pavilion in Yuantouzhu. The mountains and rivers are dyed here like the sea. Tourists who admire the flowers are woven like a weave, and people are intoxicated. Everyone is immersed in the sea of flowers everywhere. This sea of flowers, which is as misty and smoky, truly demonstrates the charm of flowers and the feeling of romantic cherry blossoms. Walking through the Friendship Pavilion, you will be the famous Cherry Blossom Valley in Yuantouzhu, where the spring breeze is gentle. Cherry blossoms are densely packed, like clouds and clouds, and trees are full of flowers. Spring really embraces the world. When you come here, you can probably appreciate what a cherry viewing resort is. Deep in the cherry blossom forest, there is another unique world. There are ponds and green trees, the beauty of cherry blossoms swaying in the water, and you can also see the cherry viewing pavilion reflected in the water from afar. After we visited the famous landmark of Yuantouzhu-Cherry viewing pavilion, we came to Your Excellency, although there was a long queue of tourists in front of the Cherry viewing pavilion. But no matter how many people are there, they have to be patient. It took more than ten minutes to finally squeeze into the third floor of the Cherry Blossom Pavilion. Looking around, the green mountains and blue colors have been re-dressed into patches of pink white and pink. Clusters of cherry blossoms bloom crowded, and when the wind blows, clattering, countless cherry blossoms dance in the wind. Under the soft sunshine, and the genial spring breeze, the cherry blossom rain fills the sky, and an indescribable romantic atmosphere. I believe that at this moment, Everyone will be moved in their hearts that flowers are more expensive than gold.

The Cherry Blossom Forest is connected to the Cherry Blossom Valley. There is no clear distinction between the two flower viewing points. The center of the Cherry Blossom Valley is the Cherry Blossom Pavilion. This is a must-visit point and gathering place for tourists to enjoy cherry blossoms in Yuantouzhu. Naturally, it is crowded with tourists. Everyone lives up to the beautiful time when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Because there are too many tourists, we couldn't help but be crowded into the Cherry Blossom Pavilion. After being pushed around by surging people on the third floor of the Cherry Blossom Pavilion, we couldn't help but be squeezed out of the Cherry Blossom Pavilion. Walking out of the Cherry Blossom Valley, you will see another small bridge and flowing water, and the beautiful scenery dotted with cherry blossoms. This scene near the Cherry Blossom Valley is also known as the Cherry Blossom Bridge or the Cherry Valley Flowing Fragrance. Here you will find cherry blossoms along the stream, in the forest, and along the path. Trees are everywhere, and the air of the cherry blossom forest is sweet.

Walking past Yuantouzhu Archway (also known as Shanhui Chuanmei Archway), you will find the famous "Wujinyi" in Yuantouzhu. A lake embankment is less than 10 meters wide. Outside the embankment is Taihu Lake, inside the embankment is a water pavilion, and the bulge ahead is Changchun Bridge. Tourists are gathered here, making it easy to say that people are close to each other and shoulder-to-shoulder. The cherry trees here are also particularly tall, with beautiful trees and huge flowers. This is recognized as the most beautiful cherry blossom species. The petals are white and pink. It is beautiful and light, as if they are elves among flowers, so beautiful that they are fresh and refined. Everyone said: "Taihu Lake is the best place, after all, in Yuantou." At this time, Changchun Bridge in Yuantou has been decorated as a pink and white world. The spring scenery is bright and the scenery of Taihu Lake is vast. This scene and this situation are not a fairyland, but more like a fairyland. The Changchun Bridge is arched, like the Jade Belt Bridge in the Summer Palace. The bridge hole reflects the sun into a round shape. Outside the embankment, a small boat is walking on the water. It has an ancient charm and makes people feel elegant. The flowers, sails, water shadows, spring flowers and the ancient charm of Jiangnan are combined in one picture frame. Fishing boats float on the vast expanse of Taihu Lake, and cherry blossoms and classical Jiangnan buildings with small bridges and flowing water are closely intertwined. In Yuantouzhu, Wujinyi ", and the Yanliu Painting Bridge always make you accidentally travel back to the time of thousands of years ago. We wander in the poetic pavilions and pavilions of" Wujinyi "," Jiangxue Xuan "," Songfen Hall ", which is" a beautiful scenery ", we can hear the breeze coming slowly, watch the near boats and far sails, the reflection on the lake, and watch the colorful and romantic cherry blossoms. At this moment, it is beautiful to the extreme, and time seems to be still at this moment.

Although Yoshino Sakura Shii, known as "seven days to bloom and seven days to fall", is only about half in full bloom at the moment, we still watched a vivid flower scene in Yuantouzhu in the spring of 2021. We left Yuantouzhu, which was as beautiful as a fairyland on earth as the vast smoke waves, distant mountains, blooming flowers, and blooming cherry blossoms, and returned to the Chongshan Gate of Yuantouzhu. The relatives 'car that came to pick us up was blocked a few kilometers away. Looking at this situation, we asked the car to pick us up to stop driving to the scenic spot. We even chose to take a bus to leave. At the bus stop next to the Chongshan Gate, there were already a long queue of people waiting here to return. Fortunately, there were many people and cars, and there was a strong maintenance order by local traffic control personnel. We quickly got on the No. 1 bus, started and stopped for more than half an hour, and then left the congested area. We got off and got on the bus that our relatives picked us up. In Wuxi, we ended a three-day and two-night outing and flower viewing tour.

We are really blessed to live in Jiangnan. We have the right time, place and people. In the most romantic spring in Jiangnan, we can go on a spring date anytime and anywhere, and integrate ourselves into the spring mountains, spring water, spring breeze, spring grass and spring flowers of Jiangnan. Our trip to Nanjing, Yangzhou, and Wuxi in the spring of 2021 is romantic, joyful, a dream accidentally encountered, the expectation of the rainy rain in Jiangnan, and has an unforgettable gentleness.
