Going to Wuxi, enjoying cherry blossoms, visiting the town and walking alleys

Go to Shantou, go to a cherry blossom feast

In Wuxi, there are three major flower-watching events, the first of which is the cherry blossoms in Shantou, followed by the peach blossoms in Meiyuan Garden and the plum blossom in Meiyuan Garden. The gardens are of various colors. Because this time the knot is 30,000 dyed wells Yoshino, so they only went to the taro.

The flourishing cherry blossoms of Shantou are mainly from mid-March to mid-April, and the flowering period is at the end of March. Each year, there will be a slight difference depending on the temperature. The most beautiful cherry blossoms in the park are in Cherry Blossom Valley, Cherry Blossom Court, and Changchun Bridge. Among them, the "Changchun Flower Bowl" is also full of Japanese cherry blossoms, "Yoshino Yoshino." It is famous for its pink rain at the flowering stage. Once it was overshadowed by red leaves, green jade, and clear Ginkgo biloba, but it had not been felt surrounded by pink clouds, and it was once again seen by nature that it was stunned! I was thinking that I would like to go to Japan to experience the unmanned cherry blossom rain at the cherry blossom festival one day.

The taxis have already lined up for long distances. But everyone's face is full of joyful, unstoppable spring. The whole gimmick has been in full bloom, covered by a pink, and even the parking lot is floating cherry rain, it is romantic and gentle.

From the entrance gate to the mountain gate, you can see the towering metasequoia at the first sight, reflecting on the water waves, and feeling refreshed immediately.
There are flowers in spring, not only the beauty of cherry blossoms, and the snow on the roadside also shows off.

Walk through the "charge the mountain spirit show" and formally enter the million flowers from. Pink cherry blossoms become a beautiful scenery, decorating the garden pavilions.

The spring is just right, can not help but bow a gentle turn and turn back.

It was not too early, so I rushed forward. Passing through a doorway and passing over the shoulders of people, a large pink cloud of smoke suddenly appeared in front of us. It was not surprising that we suddenly stayed and we stayed beautiful.

Every time you watch cherry blossoms, you think of "a period of one session." The most beautiful is not the United States, but the short-term beauty.

Because it is easy to miss, the United States is exceptionally valuable, because we need to wait for it to be cherished.

Because this tree blossom is only open in the spring, I only want to keep spring for a long time, so I can enjoy it with you.

The world is changing and life is changing. Although the cherry blossoms are good, Fanghua is easy to die, and it is also a sight and treasure.

Walk through the cherry rain and see a large pool. On the other side of the bank is the famous "Sakura Sakura", the highest point in the garden. From the top to the third floor, you can see the cherry blossoms in the mountains.

The mountains and plains are all cherry blossoms.

The wind is crisp and crisp. In this situation, why would you go to visit other countries to enjoy cherry blossoms?

In the garden, many girls dressed in Chinese clothes were photographed. Sometimes, as soon as he looked down, he thought he was crossing. A plait under the wall is admiring the flowers and visiting the garden.

Immediately after crossing back, modern ribbons were accompanied by cherry blossoms.

The most beautiful place is most people. The cherry blossoms are full of people before and after the cherry blossoms, but after the extreme beauty is lost, it is even forgotten.

The sky was getting dark, and though there was no rain god, there was no Apollo here. After three o'clock noon, the sun slowly went dark. However, the most beautiful place has not yet been found, could not help but a bit worried.
Passing through a promenade, he did not see the “periwinkle flower” and saw the “golden ten miles” first. Under the forest cherry blossoms, a combination of “powder+yellow” also has a unique flavor.

Finally, walking through a place called "Sakura-san", there are a few small corridors, and the most gorgeous "Changchun Flower" appears before the eyes.

Each branch is full of big bouquets of beauty, for fear that no one will see her beauty, and she regrets.

Sakura is suddenly out of the fence and laughs, it seems that the opening is the most affectionate.

A gentle rain, a pool of spring water.

Taihu Lake sailing, it is said that only in the Taihu Lake, there are seven sailing boats, wind waves, standing upright.

I couldn't help but smiled at the sight of this. The old mages really worked hard and started waiting early for the cherry blossoms. I remembered that a week ago, in order to catch several cherry trees from Prince Edward Bay in Hangzhou, I went up to the garden at five to see that the old mages had been racking tripods in the garden. It's not easy to wait for the scenery, and it's not easy to take beautiful scenery. However, when you see a satisfactory picture slowly emerged, all the waiting is worth it!

If you do not have to wait for the best place to shoot the night cherry blossoms like the old mage, then you can go for a snack before waiting for the cherry blossoms and watch the Comic Con. There are many activities such as the Creative Bazaar, Comic Con, “Sweet Rain” and other activities for the Shantou-Sakura Festival. There are also specially prepared snack festivals to fill the stomach.

I do not have anything else to go to a shop called Sakura Post Office and send a wish to myself in the future.

Liu Shaotou on the moon, people about after dusk. After eating the snacks and strolling through the animation festival, when the postcards were finished, the sky was getting dark and we slowly walked back to the Changchun Bridge. Just walked to a tripod stand and listened to the crowd for a while. On the lights, Changchun Bridge was immediately surrounded by colored lanterns. The Changchun Bridge, which was just a pink one, has now become a rainbow bridge.

Tips:
1, Shantou 渚 tickets original price of 105 yuan, 95 yuan online purchase (including cruise costs), not only the price is also cheaper and more convenient ticket.
2. From the beginning of last year, Tarotou had an event to watch the cherry blossoms, and the night cherry tickets were slightly cheaper, 80 yuan. The time starts from 17:00 and is mainly concentrated near the Changchun Bridge. Colorful lights illuminate pink cherry blossoms, which has a different kind of style. Of course, some people love and some people do not love, just when the lights on the moment a lot of people are exclaimed, but I love this kind of slightly artificial scenery, hastily exposed several night scenes to come back.
3. It's really early to appreciate cherry blossoms and cherry blossoms. It's inevitable that people should be conceited, but if you want to enjoy the scenery for a while, please go at 7:00. Beauty and beauty are the same, and you always have to work hard to get it.
4. The best locations for the cherry blossoms in Shantou are located in the innermost area of ​​the scenic spot. If the time is not enough, you can sit directly in the scenic battery car to the innermost area. As we did not have enough time, all the way to walk all the way to play, to the most beautiful flowers - Changchun Bridge, when the sky is dark, it is too late to take a good flower photography.
5. Tickets for Shantoutou include cruises to Taihu Lake Xiandao. Here, you have to say "You have to travel early." The row of cruise ships is really spectacular. If you don't want to miss the beauty of Taihu Lake, please refer to the third tip above (We automatically gave up Tour Taihu Lake).
6. The parking lot production in Shantou was observed to have two, one in the mountain gate for ticket purchase and ticket exchange, and the other in Sakura Valley. The proposal is to park outside, walk or change to a scenic battery car, because even if parked in the parking lot at the gate of the mountain, starting from 3 pm or 4 pm is very laborious, blocking an hour and an hour is a common practice.

Go to Huishan Ancient Town and feel peace and quiet

The ancient town of Wuxi has not been known for its reputation, so it has a few more temperaments. During these years, I went to some ancient towns, and I was very troubled by the monotonous literary shops and barren restaurants. The thick commercial atmosphere caused the ancient town to gradually lose its purity. Although Wuxi’s ancient town is full of crowds and crowds every weekend, it is still dominated by South Jiangsu people, adding to the local atmosphere. On the road in Qing Shiban, a group of students sang loudly, youthful atmosphere was covered with ancient streets; a top little yellow cap was close to the river, and the young and tender children were sketching; couples, couples, 35 As a group of friends, each person's face has years of calm and joy. This style of the ancient town is no longer the same, passing through the rivers of years, it has modern colors, but it has not lost its charm. This street is lively, not noisy; it is water township, not city; it belongs to people, not business.

Like the ancient town is like the period of history has been left behind, how many stories between the white walls and black tiles, have gradually been forgotten by the years, except that the shell still left the shadow of the past. The old people have a soft heart. They don't love new things. They are old things, and there are thousands of thoughts and emotions in their hearts. The city and the city are so similar that even the tallest building is covered with the same glass, and only the old houses on the old street are different. In the north, there are no whiteflies and paintings. In the south, there are no deep palaces and red walls. They are geographically separated, but in the end, they are still history.

The ancient town of Huishan is one of the more famous ones in several ancient towns in Wuxi, in addition to Dangkou Ancient Town, Rongxiang Ancient Town, and Ancient Town of Zhoutang. Among these ancient towns, Huishan Ancient Town is the only well-preserved street in Wuxi's old neighborhoods, where there are many churches and many historic sites, full of historical charm, and deep cultural heritage. In fact, the ancient town of Huishan is different from most of the old towns we have seen. It is mainly composed of large ancient ancestral halls. The various ancestral halls involve more than 80 surnames and are numerous in name, which truly embodies ancient Chinese clan culture and ancestral hall culture. In addition to historic sites, the ancient town of Huishan also includes the Xihui Park and the Huishan Clay Sculpture Museum. It combines the ancient Wuxi with the modern craftsman Wuxi culture.
As early as entering the town, there are not many people. From a parking lot on the northwest side, a small gate passes through the Huishan Ancient Town, and the quiet black and white beauty of the Jiangnan Water Village slowly emerges.

Chinese Clay Sculpture Museum

The first to see is the Chinese Clay Sculpture Museum. There is a Huishan clay figurine factory in front of the museum that sells all kinds of lovely figurines and figurines. Looking at several nodding dolls, memories instantly return to their childhood.

When I was young, Dad traveled frequently and ran around the country. Whenever he came back for a business trip, he would send me a pile of local souvenirs. It was such mud dolls that nodded. When you see these funny clay dolls, you think of happy days when you were young, and when you have novelty gadgets, you are happy to fly everywhere. Father's love is always deep, and my father does not always accompany me, but it is the kind of heart that often hangs in my heart and walks to buy a gadget.

[Huishan clay figurine]
Huishan clay figurine is one of the three famous specialty products in Wuxi. Huishan clay figurines began in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and have a history of more than 1,000 years. From the Ming Dynasty to its peak stage, professional clay figurines began to appear in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. In addition, the Kunqu opera was popular at that time. Characters with opera characters as the subject were also born. Wuxi local artists take the black mud about one meter below ground at the foot of the northeast slope of Huishan Mountain. Its muddy texture is soft and soft, but it is not grainy, curved and continuous, dry and not cracked, and has excellent plasticity. It is very suitable for “pinching”. For its use, the Huishan clay figurines are clay figurines for hundreds of years. Their tradition of continuous innovation has given birth to a wonderful and splendid folk art culture. After the founding of New China, the "Wuxi Huishan Clay Man Factory" was established. Later, the "Huishan Clay Figurine Institute" and the "Huishan Clay Figurine Museum" were successively established. It is meticulous in workmanship, beautiful in appearance, beautiful in color, emphasizing the shaping of characters and expressions, and has a strong local flavor and is deeply loved by people. (net abstract)

This Huishan clay figurine factory is on the edge of the Chinese Clay Sculpture Museum. It also houses many small clay figurines for purchase. Careful observation of the color and portrayal of each clay figurine can not help but praise the skills of folk artists. The most admired is the spirit of a craftsman, who concentrates on focusing and refocusing in a favorite field. There is no other matter in front of him, but his own craft is the ultimate.

Zhao Hongyu fine micro-stitch Museum

Wuxi Huishan Clayman Factory also has a Zhaohongyu Fine Micro-Embroidery Museum on the edge of the museum. It displays the double-sided delicate embroidery work by Zhao Hongyu, the master of Chinese embroidery in Wuxi. The studio was also occasionally open to the outside world to explain China's embroidery techniques. When he wandered around the studio, he met with Mr. Zhao. Teacher Zhao also explained to us the difference between embroidery and machine embroidery. Having touched the fine craftsmanship by hand, I can not help but sigh again the skill of the Chinese artists. I can pinch the fine embroidery needles so well and embroider the exquisite works!

Ancestral hall

【Ancestral Hall Culture】
From the clay figurines and embroidery halls, we continue to move forward. The ancient town’s awakenings cluster appears more and more. Here I have to talk about the clan and ancestral culture of the Chinese nation. Fei Xiaotong once said in "Homeland China" that the ancient Chinese family portals were linked together by clan units. The so-called clan is a family that is linked in the blood and inherited. Usually the “family” we refer to is a clan in structure. Because this kind of clan was formed on the basis of blood relatives, the "filial piety" that honored the filial love of the progenitors, inherited the imperial concubines, and extended Shi Ze became the core concept of the official etiquette order in Chinese traditional culture. Because the concept of family is quite profound, often a village lives with a family name or a family of several families, and many need to establish their own family temple to worship their ancestors. This family temple is an ancestral temple.

The use of ancestral halls is very versatile. Sacrificing ancestors and ancestors is a role. The marriages and funerals of all parties are also conducted in the ancestral hall. It should be said that the ancestral hall culture has an extremely important historical position and influence in Chinese culture and is an excellent culture of the Chinese nation. A unique form. Therefore, ancestral hall architecture has also become one of the unique forms of traditional Chinese culture. In the Xishan area of ​​Wuxi, there are many forms of ancestral buildings that have been constructed in various forms. The annual span spans nearly 500 years. From the Ming Dynasty to the Republic of China, more than 60 sites are still preserved. The ancient town of Huishan is a representative in this respect. It has also been mentioned that the ancient town is mainly composed of large ancient temples. The various ancestral halls involve more than 80 surnames, the most famous of which are Hua Xiaozi’s father, Zhide’s father, and Ju Wen’an. The ten ancestral halls, including Qian Wusu, Wang Yu, Huaixiang Zhaozhong, Zuo Cuncao, Gu Dongyang, Wang Wuyi, Lu Xuangong, and Yang Yifang, have become national key cultural sites and have been opened to the public. open. For those who want to understand the traditional culture of the Chinese nation and the ethical ideas of the sages, it is good to visit all kinds of ancestral halls here.

After a brief look at the ancestral culture, continue to walk along the river. When water villages enter the picture, the United States is beautiful and lacks something. Only later discovered that this ancient town has already lacked home. It is a pity to think about it. It seems that in the 2008 renovation, the original residents have all moved away, and the real town will be more beautiful.

There are many tea houses on both sides of the river, and when the weather is fine, they are full of teahouses. The locals are not like our tourists who are strolling around the east, and Xiqiao is so busy. They love to have a cup of tea and sit and chat. It feels really good and it is really envious. Although Hangzhou Longjing tea room, but not so close to the market, you can soak a cup of tea, leisurely sitting, reading and playing cards to spend time.

At noon on the day, people in Guzhen gradually got a lot more. Suddenly, the little yellow caps on the other side of the bank occupied their eyes. One by one, a playful little head emerged from under the little yellow cap. The young hand held a pencil and a drawing board. Watching the innocent kids suddenly feel happy and decided to pass.

One by one, hardworking and devoted children. Living in Wuxi, I am very good at Wuxi. I am very close to the beautiful scenery and surrounded by beauty.

When I was a kid, I remember the memory of my sketches. Since childhood, he has been in love with painting, so he even fell in love with photography. However, as a child, the art courses in the small town were limited, and the sketch classes were taught in general. Therefore, they did not go very far on the road of drawing. However, when they saw these familiar and gracious sketches, they still vividly remembered when they were young. This tour of Wuxi Ancient Town seems to be a journey to remember the childhood!
Red lanterns and blue paper umbrellas were hung on both sides of the river, and the festive atmosphere was vivid on paper.

After walking through the river, I found out that the ancient town of Huishan was more lively than I thought! The original section we took was not an official entrance, and the crowd coming in from the official entrance was bustling and endless, showing that this is indeed a good place for the weekend. The ancient town of Huishan also has more food and play than I thought. There are bookstores on both sides of the main street to leave the river. There are cafes and restaurants, and there are also various kinds of snack bars. After the old restaurant is full, it will continue to visit the ancient town.

Xihui Park

Xihui Park is located in the ancient town of Huishan and consists of several attractions, including Jichang Park, Tianxia Second Spring, Huishan Temple, and Yugong Valley. It is a garden that requires tickets. Tickets are 70 yuan, and there are tickets for all Huishan Ancient Town and Xihui Park attractions. Here is a tip: If it is two days to play in the five major gardens in Wuxi, you can buy garden coupons at major garden entrances, including Gengyuan, Taihu Shantou, Meiyuan, Xihui Park and Yuyuan Park.
When entering Xihui Park, the first thing to see is the city flower of Wuxi - Du Fu. The Azalea Festival is in full swing, demonstrating thousands and thousands of people.

After visiting the central azalea flower show, I arrived at Changi Garden. The most famous garden in Xihui Park is the Changbai Garden, which has unique twists and turns in the Jiangnan Water Village. Rockery, pool water, green water, and flowers form a picture of a beautiful spring. If you want to find the spring, you must find it in the Jiangnan Garden.

Green shaded a bit red.

The setting sun was just right and a bunch of folds hit the ancient door.

Green bamboo, white walls, shingles, Jiangnan more quiet and quiet place must have the old three. During the shuttle, peace of mind.

Students enjoy a good spring tour. There are uniforms and youthful atmospheres everywhere in the garden.

"It should be compassionate and careless, and it will not be long enough to detain the firewood."

"Spring Garden is untenable and a red apricot comes out of the wall."

There are flowers in the spring.

Walk South Long Street and touch the southern style

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs through these many southern cities. It seems that every city where the canal passes will have such a long street along the river, with a typical beauty of the water town. Nanchang Street seems to be the compatriot brother of Xiaohe Street in Hangzhou’s Gongju Bridge. If people are not marked in Wuxi, everyone must think that I am still wandering in Hangzhou.

Nanchang Street is an old street in Wuxi, located in the center of Nanchang District, Wuxi. The Qingming Bridge historical and cultural street in Nanchangjie is a typical Jiangnan water town on the bank of the Dayun River. It is known as the "Jiangnan Water Lane Church and the Outrage of the Canal." The district is composed of areas with rich historical and cultural heritage, such as Nanchang Street, Wuxi section of Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Nanxiatang, Boaogang and Dayao Road. With an area of ​​18.78 hectares, the neighborhood is composed of temples, towers, rivers, streets, bridges, kilns, and squares, creating a unique atmosphere of the Jiangnan Water Lane Church. The “Qingming Bridge”, which was built on the banks of the Ming Dynasty and the Feijia Canal, is a sign on the block.

There are many restaurants and creative shops on both sides of Nanchang Street, which is a unique neighborhood for each city to eat and drink. Of course, it is not so special. The highest ranking is actually Sichuan cuisine. Starbucks and Haagen-Dazs are on both sides. Most of them are commercial streets. However, if you bypass one or two trails, the street bridges and streamers will be more local.

Hurriedly walked along this ancient street along the river and bought some snacks on the road to leave. It is said that the night scene of Nanchang Street is very good, but it can't wait to see the red lights go up. It can only be walked again next time to make up for the beautiful scenery.

Eat a snack of Wuxi, a little sweet on the tip of the tongue

"Wuxi has always been sweet to all kinds of dishes." For Wuxi people who used to be sweet, Nanjing and Yangzhou soup packs are light and boring because they are less sweet. This snack in Wuxi has finally confirmed this impression. The sweetest home I have to admit, is it really sweet!

Speaking of Wuxi snacks, I had to try small pots and oysters . Each of the stores, regardless of the level, has more than two small headlines. Small cages are thin, flexible but not easily broken. A steamy dumpling was sandwiched and the crystal clear skin was wrapped in a soup full of broth. A bite was made and the sweet soup was sucked. Then the dumplings were eaten in a mouthful. . The soft, elastic texture of the skin matches with the fresh sweetness, feeling really good! In this way, it is not particularly stingy, just remember that the fillings are more chewy, and not all the hometown is full of solid texture. In addition to these two snacks, Wuxi sauce ribs are also best to try. It is said that Wuxi sauce ribs and Wuxi Shimizu gluten, Huishan mud afu are listed as the three major production in Wuxi. In Wuxi, ribs are not only on the dinner table, but they can also be eaten as a snack. Juicy and sweet ribs are a special option for shocking taste buds.

Wang Xingji

The Wuxi snack bar of “Chinese Time-honored Brand” has passed its 100-year history, and its quality is also a guaranteed local flavor. After eating this small hamper, it tasted good and it did achieve the delicacy it deserved. However, compared to the old restaurant in Huishan Ancient Town, the ginger taste will be heavier, and everyone will have a taste.

Old restaurant

In the ancient town of Huishan, we found the characteristic tin restaurant, called white shrimp, Wuxi crisp quail, chicken soup dry silk, duck blood four treasures and other several tin dishes taste good. With osmanthus liqueurs and crispy oysters, it is very pleasant.

Osmanthus small wine two or two, while eating small wine while eating small dishes, talk about the heart, talk about feelings, relax good mood.
