Suzhou listens to Kunqu Opera: Living in a garden, dreams are in your heart.
Suzhou is a place worth visiting again, with flowing rivers and ancient buildings. If there is another wisp of Kunqu in the air, it will complement each other and be elegant and boundless.
In September this year, China's first Kunqu Club "A Dream in the Garden" settled in Suzhou Kunqu Media College with a history of 100 years. Listen to a dream in the garden here. The background is not a stage, nor a hall, but a real Suzhou garden! Sitting in a garden with a waterside pavilion and terrace and drinking tea on the edge of going to the opera is expected to satisfy your dream in the center of the garden.
Before the performance, the club also provided services such as visiting, taking photos, explaining the modeling of Kunqu Opera, guiding Kunqu Opera, and private courtyard banquets. Can deepen your understanding of the basic knowledge of Kunqu opera art; After watching the performance for more than an hour, you may be able to enter Du Liniang's dream, and you can't tell whether everything in front of you is true or not.
After listening to Kunqu opera, you can go for a walk in one or two distinctive gardens. Pingjiang Road is the oldest street in Suzhou. Many residential buildings are built along the river, with white walls and green tiles, wooden doors and flower windows. It clearly retains the water town pattern of "parallel waterways and adjacent river streets". Walking along Pingjiang Road, we can find that most of the old houses operate bars, clubs, piano halls, cafes and so on, which are full of ancient charm.

Drinking tea in Hangzhou: drinking tea under the buttonwood tree.
Hangzhou people call "drinking tea" "drinking tea". Drinking tea is not just eating snacks, but also reading books, playing poker or playing mahjong.
In autumn, people in Hangzhou like to drink tea under osmanthus trees. Manjuelong Road, which is full of osmanthus trees, is crowded with large and small cars in autumn, and the teahouse business is extremely hot.
But in fact, in the eyes of old Hangzhou people, Qiu Jin Laodong Road is more recommended for drinking tea. On both sides of the 600-meter labor road are tall buttonwood trees, and the golden leaves fall with the autumn wind, bringing the autumn signal.
There are many places to work, and each teahouse has its own regular customers. It is safe to drive on the path. People who have been to Fan Shi Pu 'er Tea House say that there are many kinds of Pu 'er tea, including authentic rock tea from Wuyishan Yan Zheng production area, Qijiaxin tea house specializes in Taiwanese tea, and Chahai teapot has the best taste.
If you like tossing, you might as well go to Yang Meiling. Although it is called "Wenglong Yang Man" together with Wengjiashan, Longjing and Manjuelong, it is the least known. Walking in the village, houses are scattered on the hillside by the roadside, and there is a tea garden landscape in the distance. There are only 100 households here, but almost every household is doing tea business. I want to set up a coffee table between green mountains and green waters. This is m.

Go to Qinhu to taste crabs: eat game in the water town.
The autumn wind makes the crab's feet itch. Eating crabs in Yangcheng Lake attracts many cats, but on the private map of Shanghai, the crabs in Qinhu Wetland Park are more attractive!
Qinhu Wetland Park is located in Jiangyan City, Jiangsu Province. Qinhu Lake has vast waters and clear water quality. The crab meat cultured here is yellow and delicious.
There has been a saying in East China since ancient times that "south Zhabei", and "catching crabs with vertical chopsticks" is a unique way for Qintong people to catch crabs. It is said that those who can climb over bamboo foil and turn into the net are all good products with strong physique.
After steaming, the female crab roe is golden red, and the male crab paste is transparent and soft. Anyone who has tasted the crabs in Qinhu Lake may never forget the wet fragrance. There are "eight treasures" in Qinhu Lake. Besides crabs, there are whitebait, shrimp, snail shells, soft-shelled turtles, sixi, watercress and waterfowl, which are also delicious dishes in autumn.
After eating and drinking enough, you might as well take a paddle boat and stroll around. Qinhu Lake covers an area of nearly 4000 mu. On the wide lake, rivers, ports and bays are dotted like a maze. The boat shuttled through the reeds, which was very interesting to explore. If you are not addicted, you can also visit Qintong Ancient Town. The town with a history of more than 2,000 years is surrounded by water, including the former residence of famous academicians, Guo Huai in Tang Dynasty, Camellia in Song Dynasty, rokuonji, folk museum and other landscapes. In the bleak autumn and winter, there is a quiet time.

Nanxun: a water town combining Chinese and western cultures.
Nanxun is located in Huzhou, Zhejiang, more than 20 kilometers away from Shanghai/KLOC-0, and has the reputation of "the hometown of Jiangsu and Zhejiang". For thousands of years, the rivers and streets here have rested across the bridge, and the big rivers are painted with green willows, forming a unique Jiangnan ink painting.
In the past, Nanxun people not only had money, but also some wealthy businessmen had the experience of studying and doing business in the West. Influenced by western culture, the scale of luxury houses in ancient towns and the combination of Chinese and western styles are rare in other ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River.
