There seems to be more than one Dongshan Mountain in China, which refers to dongshan town in the southwest of Suzhou, surrounded by water on three sides and the shore of Taihu Lake. As usual, Mr. Orange, the otaku, refused to go at first, but I went round and round, saying that the injury could not complete Taibai's plan, so I was unhappy and had to pay compensation. Knowing that he couldn't get around it, he began to enlighten himself as always: OK. How many mountains can Suzhou have, at most one hill, and how many steps can it take? Although I don't understand what's interesting, I've heard of Dongshan mutton. It's quite fun to eat a bowl of authentic mutton.
Take a taxi from Suzhou Railway Station and turn to Dongshan Avenue along Central West Line. It takes about 1 hour to enter the town center. As soon as the driver said, I looked around. There is a noodle restaurant on Zijin Road, the main road. Every restaurant is so ordinary and not particular, which is similar to the hotel on Ma Xiao Road.
Dongshan townlet impression
The two main roads in dongshan town, Zijin Road and Jasmine Road, are villages or scenic spots in the west, and almost all restaurants and shops eating are on Jasmine Road.
The town used to be the most desirable place for Dongshan people, and the driver of the return trip was from Luxiang Village. He said that he walked 24 bays that year just to visit dongshan town, so he felt great and went to the city. Although the big archway of Dongshan Commercial Street at the intersection of Jasmine Road is still towering, from the present point of view, the town is the least noticeable place. The shops are boring and the restaurants are old. I went to the drugstore, and the medicine inside was mainly domestic products and tonics. Interestingly, several of our customers wear masks, but strangely, the clerk doesn't. The master said that for the protection of the environment, infrastructure will no longer be vigorously developed. I expect that dongshan town will become more and more a hurried shadow for everyone to pass by the ancient peasant village.
Architecture and Garden of Literati Spirit
Our trip began with the carved building. I've been reading Mr. Ye Jiaying's elegant fine print these days, which says that the poem entitled "Smoke and Rain" was the second visit to Baohe Hall during the light-year period. Yu Yue, a native of Suzhou, wrote a poem "Flowers are still in spring and the weather is still sunny", which won the appreciation of Zeng Guofan, the examiner, and thought that "singing out the flowers has no meaning of decline". I learned that the original name of the carving room was Chunzailou, which was taken from Yu Yue's poem. I sighed in my heart, what a fate!
Carved buildings are naturally famous for carving flowers. There are many introductions on the Internet, so I won't go into details. Bricks, walls and windows can be carefully watched. At the exit, Mr. Orange met a young man from Dongshan, and they chatted with the carved flowers on the eaves for a while. In winter, we also enjoyed the carving art of Lingnan in Foshan Ancestral Temple, but it was still not as good as the aura of Jiangnan aesthetics. Kan Kan, a young man, introduced his own treasure and was glad to meet an appreciative guest from other places.
Connected with the carved architecture is the former residence of Shi Yun, the youngest scholar in Ming Dynasty. It is not extremely rare to say that Suzhou scholars have produced 50 scholars in Suzhou history. Unfortunately, Shi Jun, the first scholar, died of rain and cold the next year ... It sounds like pneumonia. When I got home, I told my sister this story, and she was shocked. This is probably the shortest-lived schoolmaster in history. Only the vegetation and water in this garden are left, and the breeze and bright moon witness the ups and downs of this unpredictable life.
Another scenic spot in Dongshan, which needs a route, is recommended to open the park.
This first garden in Taihu Lake is not in name only. I don't want to introduce the playing strategy, and I feel that I can't write it well, and I can't write its beauty and strangeness. I want to say that Qiyuan Garden is a typical Suzhou garden, and you can never imagine what it is like to go around the door, climb over the wall and cross the bridge. And it won't be crowded. Take a corner of Taihu Lake and cut a corner of Dongshan Mountain. The area is not less than the big garden in the north, which is atmospheric enough. I stopped for a few steps and couldn't help holding the camera.
Throughout Dongshan, there are several relics of Ming and Qing Dynasties scattered in the village, such as Huaiyin Hall, Samurai Hall, Anqing Hall, Chongben Hall and Chunde Hall. You can go shopping one by one if you are interested and have time.
Missed, can miss, can't miss.
The bus terminal that jumps at will is in Xuanyuan Palace, which was not planned originally, but it is mysterious at first glance. Because this doorway is so broken, it feels like the crazy stone of Luohan Temple. I glanced at the door and there was no one. I jumped into the second room. Just glancing at the so-called stone tablet, I heard a vicious voice behind me, "No Entry", and a black and thin old man kicked me out. Mr. orange said let's have a look. The old man closed the temple gate and showed us a notice, which has been closed since August. Don't look at that door. Here are three treasures. One is Wen Zhiming's Map of East and West Mountains, which should be painted by Brother Wen after visiting Dongshan at the beginning of this article. Moreover, it may be because the ticket is ridiculously expensive, which costs 30 yuan. So there are no big pictures taken by any netizens on the Internet. It would be a pity to miss it. I guess the photo has been hung on my wall. The stone tablet I saw was the Yin Pavilion, which was a slightly rotating hypotenuse. If I make a strategy and take three bold steps forward, I will probably see it clearly. The only regret is that the old man found me.
My destination is not Xuanyuan Palace, but Luxiang Ancient Village, which is named after six lanes leading directly to Taihu Lake, namely Gu Xi Lane, Flagstaff Lane, Jiangjia Lane, Hanjia Lane, Wen Ning Lane and Kangzhuang Lane. Starting from Hangu, if you don't want to see those churches or something, you can arrive after 4: 30 in the afternoon. The staff has gone off work, walked into the long alley, set foot on Shi Zhuan, and looked at the Ming Dynasty archway. The most popular products are white jade cake, loquat cream and oil chopping block. There is a stone carving shop where you can enjoy inkstones and teapots, and the price is not very expensive. If you don't live in a homestay in Luxiang, you always feel that it is not very interesting to come to Luxiang for a few kilometers or even buy a ticket, which means you can miss it.
When the land lane came out, it was just the time when the sunset set in the middle of the lake. Blue lotus is a thousand hectares, red, pink and purple layers are blooming on the lake, and the distant mountains are faint. I just stared at every change of light with my eyes until I could no longer see a trace of red, the sky turned dark blue and the moon began to rise. Just 20 minutes is like a beautiful dream. A very abrupt Dongshan hotel across the road, with a white three-story building and terrace, and bright lights on the surrounding walls, makes me feel as if I were in a trance at the seaside in Europe. Maybe it's a good choice to watch the sunset with red wine on the third floor.
Dongshan is the birthplace of Biluochun, and its recommendation is indispensable on billboards around the lake, while Yangwan and Luxiang are all over the tea fields. While I was concentrating on hiking, Mr. Orange was preoccupied with finding a tea farmer. Japanese experts thirst for tea. How many people did you knock at the door? I admire him, too, and I found it all the way. Yangwan Professional Cooperative operates a couple, the husband is a homestay and the wife sells tea. I was surprised to hear that we came from the old village.
After learning different grades of tea, I took an upper-middle grade. Maybe I heard that a catty of tea said that it would cost 70,000 buds. Looking at those buds that only stand up, I feel really fragrant. The most outrageous statement on the Internet: A medical clinical survey found that people who drink more than two cups of Biluochun tea every day are 50% less likely to suffer from Alzheimer's disease such as cognitive dysfunction than those who drink less than three cups of Biluochun green tea every week. No matter whether the research is true or not, no matter which one you want to try, "Biluochun" won.
Noodles can be seen everywhere. Two grandmothers came to receive us at the Laowudong noodle restaurant, which was highly praised on the Internet. There is no mutton in Suzhou traditional noodle restaurant, and the signs are generally braised pork, fried eel and fried fish. The old aunt is clever and wants to eat noodles at her house. I'll buy you mutton. However, in 5 minutes, a pack of mutton wrapped in three or two lotus leaves was placed on the table, and a piece was picked up and put into the noodles. Looking at the white fat, the soup is about to melt, and there is no smell. If it doesn't melt, put it in your mouth. Braised pork noodles are also good, but mutton won.
On this trip, let's comment first. The first noodle is the scallion noodles of Dongting Hotel. If you have time, you can eat more rice and order more food in Dongting Hotel, because every dish is a very classic Soviet style. It is said that sometimes there are more people and more tour groups, and the standard drops. But when we came, there were few people. It is said that after the epidemic, the number of people going to Dongshan is not as good as before110, and the master is in a good mood. Don't be disappointed. Service is the characteristic of the old state-owned hotel, as you can imagine. As soon as I entered the lobby, my left hand was full of jars of plums and loquats. After drinking a bottle of beer with orange juice, Mr. Mingming brought another glass of plum wine. The waiter specially reminded us that this is highly soaked liquor, which is really strong. Let's get down to business. The soy sauce in this bowl of noodles is neither salty nor greasy. Onions are not only burnt, but also a lot of fresh chopped onions. Noodles are soft ... this is a very big bowl. How big is it? Because it was delicious, we packed and had lunch on the mountain at noon the next day. In fact, noodles are not sticky or greasy, but they are still delicious! As you can imagine, by contrast, when the take-away noodles with scallion oil are delivered, they have never become a ball that cannot be mixed or broken. ...
Murray is the main peak of Dongshan Mountain and the second peak among the 72 peaks in Taihu Lake, with an altitude of 293.5 meters. Its regular route should enter the "Yuhua Wonderland" scenic spot. However, Yuhua Scenic Area is not as fairy tale as its name, even quite ordinary. It is better to call it Yuhua Fan Jing, so the purpose of many people is to climb mountains.
On the way back from Qiyuan Garden, Mr. Orange was excited to learn that he could copy the path up the mountain from a nearby village, which exposed the essence of a typical businessman who values profit over women. He thought he could save a lot of oceans and have the strength to walk, and asked all the way (I asked 2 roadside shops, 3 villagers, 1 roadside stall aunt). Finally, I learned that there is an ancient road from the village to the mountain, but it is difficult to walk; An enthusiastic uncle told us that there is a flat avenue leading directly to Yuhua Temple in the parking lot a little further ahead. Thank you, uncle. I looked at the map. I'm a little worried because I have relatively rich combat experience. This point is too close to the ticket office, so such a holiday will not be closed. Sure enough! Two old men sat at the gate of the parking lot and immediately kicked us out. But all roads lead to Rome, and the aunt who sells fruit stalls told us that a little further, a path next to the hotel, along the drainage pipe, can still be plugged back into the main road from the middle. (But Mr. Orange didn't buy oranges and persimmons. This is really complete information about Bai Piao. )
In this way, we embarked on this road. At first, I was able to photograph flowers and vegetables with great interest. Gradually, the sun poisoned the flowers and the slope of the path escalated all the way. I had to use a mask to strengthen my lung function to keep up with the supply. I gave all my bags to Mr. Orange. At this moment, I suddenly saw a very obvious gap in the forest on the right. We predict that someone will walk from here to the scenic spot. Look at the map, the scenic spot is on the lower right, but it is invisible to the naked eye. You can only walk along this vague path. Fortunately, there was no rain, no steps and no road. In fact, you can feel that the turf is slightly thinner than the surrounding area. From time to time, branches block the way, or bend over or push away with your hands. Gradually, I can't see the road, and I can't see Mr. Orange (I saw a little red envelope shining in the jungle). On the importance of a qualified team leader! A qualified team leader will never leave the heights of team members or go to the front alone. Gradually, the horn of the scenic spot has been clearly audible, and the figure of tourists not far away and the faintly visible scenic trails have also been faintly visible. However, the path is below us, and our height is about several meters away from the path. Mr. orange, go down and see if you can jump off the nearest position. I went up and saw a meditation room above. I wanted to see if I could go near the meditation room and make a detour. Finally, it is more reliable to go down. The nearest location is about 2 meters. When I came back from above, Mr orange had reached the path. He came back to see me. I jumped down and finally arrived! The location is just below Yuhua Temple. I sat there and patted myself, only to find that there were many small thorns hanging on my body, which really cut all the thorns. Look at Mr. Orange's great happiness, just like the happiness after a good boy accidentally did a bad thing.
As always, there are no photos of Yuhua Temple. As long as Mr. Orange is here, there will be no photos of the temple ... Spoiler, the layout of Ursa Major Hall is rather strange, with the Heart Sutra and Guanyin statues completed by Wen Zhiming and Tang Bohu.
I thought it was almost the top of the mountain. I looked at the road sign and said there was still 1000 meters left. Shouldn't this be a feeling of relief? As a result, we climbed one bend after another and looked at it from a fixed position. As a result, we were scared, and there were 950 meters left! I met my aunt who was crying and asked how far it was. Aunt said it was far and steep! Asked what was there to see, my aunt said bitterly that there was nothing. Haha, I have to say that my aunt is right. At least in this hot day, we climbed 10 minutes, saw a Taoist temple (or broken Taoist temple), and then looked at the location. 750 meters left!
In fact, there is no scenery on the mountain, no water is sold along the road, and there is no toilet. You should have a rest and sit down on the spot. Strangely, the road around the mountain is repaired, and you can see the car slamming in front of you. I saw the outdoor streamers and heard that winter would come. They also have to go through the thorns and straight through Murray to reach the ancient village of Luxiang.
When I went down the mountain, I went all the way to Yuhua Temple, and then there were many glass rooms where I could wash my hands and take a nap. All the iced cokes were sold out. Young people actually barbecue on the big lawn at the foot of the mountain. We swaggered out of the exit. Haha, see you in Mo Lifeng! See you in Dongshan!
