order

I always feel that the most fundamental cultural temperament of a place is rooted in its pastoral culture. The vast and fertile black land in Northeast China is full of sorghum and wheat. After autumn harvest, sorghum turns into liquor like a knife, which irrigates the rough but romantic culture of the three provinces. The dark red sand of Xinjiang holds out baskets of honey like grapes and fruits. The tall and gorgeous girls in Xinjiang grow up eating such fruits. When they look at them, they have eyes that are sweeter than honey. The Jiangnan countryside has a natural poetic flavor, which reminds people of misty rain, snow-white rice flowers, and green willow branches in front of farmers' doors. Unfortunately, in recent years, with the rapid development of the economy in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is more and more difficult to find a place that retains the pastoral charm of the south of the Yangtze River without losing its aesthetic feeling, until Wucun and I ran into each other.

Wucun is adjacent to Wuzhen, which retains the most typical life style of Jiangnan village. On this basis, Wucun has carried out ingenious improvement and optimization, adding desserts shop, tree house, archery field, auditorium, coffee bar and other facilities in addition to the original farmland old house. This time, we chose Wucun three-day two night one price all inclusive package. The package covers all the expenses of accommodation, catering, activities, play and transportation within three days and two nights. It saves the trouble of strategy and reservation, which makes me a little lazy.

Move into the mill

There is a very interesting concept in Wucun's residential area - "group". The name "group" comes from the life of the old-fashioned production team. With the theme of various agricultural production tasks, the members of the production team are divided into different groups. We chose the mill theme group. This is an old folk house that has been reconstructed. On the walls and green tiles, there are green Parthenocissus winding. On the second floor, there is a small balcony, and mill plates and mortar can be seen everywhere. One of the important reasons for choosing a mill group is the food here. There is also a mill in use near here. You can eat fresh soya bean milk ground by hand.

There is a pond beside the house. It's the end of summer now. The lotus has failed, but the lotus leaves are still in spirit. When I came here, I suddenly thought of a poem I had learned when I was very young - "Lotus can be picked in the south of the Yangtze River, lotus leaves can be picked in the fields."

The room is retro and elegant. It's suitable for sitting on the sofa when it's raining, turning on the desk lamp and reading a book carefully with the dim yellow light.

There is a big rest bar on the first floor. You can drink tea in the sofa and chat with strangers you meet.

village committee

The village committee here is equivalent to the front desk of the hotel.

There are many origami works on the first floor. Before that, I never thought that a piece of paper could produce so many patterns. The little sister at the front desk saw that I was interested and said with a smile that if I wanted to have a try, I could invite the producers of these small animals out to be my teacher.

Cuntou convenience store

The convenience store is divided into two parts. The left side is for daily necessities, and the right side is for retro items. The most common is the movie pictorial. Anita Mui's sad and beautiful face in Rouge button, 1900's lonely back in the sea, and Princess Anne's innocent smile in the back seat of the bicycle in Roman holiday.

Little animal paradise

If you come to Wucun with children, you must go to the small animal park. Here live goats, cattle, donkeys, pigs, grab a handful of grass, they will come to ask for food, at this time you can closely observe their gentle dark brown eyes, cattle small horns and pigs wet nose.

Wucun Entertainment

Wucun is rich in outdoor entertainment. It's a good time to go out of the room and bask in the sun. Archery, kayak, ferrule, laughing, sweating, the sun had gone down before they had a good time.

If you don't like sports, you can also take a swing for a while. Overhead are layers of leaves, the sun seems to have been filtered into green. Slowly cool wind blowing, swing sway, close your eyes to take a nap, dream of the best autumn in Jiangnan.

The most distinctive activities in the village are all kinds of farming. There are many seasonal fruits and vegetables in the village, such as corn, okra, pumpkin, ginger, watermelon and grapefruit. Fruits and vegetables can be picked all year round. The enthusiastic staff of Wucun village will explain to you the types of vegetables and the correct picking methods. The harvested fruits and vegetables can be directly sent to the kitchen and then served on your dining table. In addition to picking, in different seasons, there are activities such as transplanting seedlings, cutting rice, harvesting rape and so on.

Children's Playground

Not to mention children, as an adult, every time I see the ocean ball, I still have the impulse to plunge down. Slide, rock climbing, building blocks, here, I am a carefree child again.

Tree House

Since childhood, I have dreamed of living in a tree house and being a neighbor to birds. When I wake up in the morning, I open the curtains. There are flowers outside the window in spring, leaves are thick green in summer, I can pick a fruit in autumn, and branches are bent by snow in winter. I never thought that this dream had been realized in Wucun after many years.

The whole treehouse is made up of branches and trunks. Standing on the small observation platform, it seems that birds will soon fall on your shoulders to beg for food.

The interior is much bigger than I expected, with books, tea and soft carpet. I can be alone in it all day.

Educated youth Restaurant

The main dining place is the educated youth restaurant. The restaurant is also transformed from the old house, with nostalgic style as the theme. It focuses on all kinds of stewed rice / porridge. Of course, there are also all kinds of Western desserts, with a wide range of choices.

The daily meals are different. The main ingredients are seasonal vegetables produced in the village. It takes less than one hour from picking to serving. The enamel tableware here is very interesting. The color of blue and white, together with familiar posters and slogans, must be able to recall many people's childhood memories.

If you want to change your taste, the western food here is also very good. The most recommended food bag and soup are baked on the same day, with crisp outer skin and soft inner core. The seasoning of the soup is just right, and the fragrance of basil highlights the freshness and sweetness of clams.

Breakfast on a cruise ship

I got up in the morning and asked the staff where the breakfast restaurant was. Unexpectedly, she took us to a small dock. There is a boat waiting outside the wharf in the early morning. The boat is a common awning boat in Wuzhen area. The rowing man in the bow is dressed in white and ink blue cloth pants, keeping an inch. He looks very energetic.

Breakfast is very rich, from Chinese soup porridge to western style package point, there are four or five kinds of small dishes, seven or eight kinds of Cereals, five or six kinds of meal package

When you open the window, the cool wind blows across your face in the early morning, and the boat walks leisurely on the water. On the bank, there are golden paddy fields, clumps of reed flowers and water birds combing their feathers.

Wuzhen west gate

After breakfast on the cruise ship and a little stroll in the village, we set out for the West Gate Scenic Spot of Wuzhen. There is a small road between Wucun village and xizha scenic area of Wuzhen town. For the guests who have stayed in Wucun village, the hotel will arrange a car to pick them up.

Admission to Zhaoming Academy

Today, I decided to live in Zhaoming Academy. The Academy was named after Xiao Tong, the prince of Liang Zhaoming in the Southern Dynasty. Selected works edited by Xiao Tong is the first anthology of poetry and prose in China. Prince Zhaoming came to Wuzhen to study with his teacher Shen Yue, and built a library. Later, the library collapsed and the remains remained. Later generations rebuilt the Academy on the original site. Now the academy is a typical hard mountain style ancient building complex with exquisite carving and design.

The design of the roof of the lobby is quite ingenious. Hundreds of bamboo slips engraved with "selected works" have been hung down, with bright yellow lights.

The furnishings in the guest room are mainly log furniture, simple and elegant. When you open the window, there is a green wall.

Wuzhen in the afternoon

Settle your luggage and take advantage of the sunshine in the afternoon to go out for a walk. At the entrance of the main entrance of the Academy, there is a stone archway built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, which is inscribed with the title "the victory of the Six Dynasties". On the dragon and Phoenix board, it is inscribed with the words "the reading place of Prince Liang Zhaoming and Shen Shangshu" by Shen Shimao.

The mottled columns support the laminated Daiwa, and the winding stone bridge stands in a pool of clear water.

The buildings in the alleys are quite old, with mottled walls and decayed wooden windows. There are a lot of tourists on the way back and forth. I don't know what kind of grand view these old houses witnessed 100 years ago?

The small tile horse head wall is made of green brick, and the cloister is hung with lattice windows.

When you pass the main river, you can see from the bridge that the river is green and the willow branches are soft. The buildings near the water seem to be dyed by ink layers, elegant and lovely.

Wuzhen is the most smoky ancient town I have ever seen. Up to now, it is rare for Wuzhen to retain a large number of residential buildings for commercial use. It is the aborigines of this water town who retain the most authentic charm of Wuzhen. Sitting in the boat, you can see the clothes hanging under the eaves on both sides of the river and the lovely Rouge flowers on the windowsill.

Near the Mid Autumn Festival, the festival atmosphere is rich, walking in the street to see a lot of rabbit related gadgets.

Can you guess the answer to this riddle?

When you are tired, you can sit down by the river and taste tea.

Mid Autumn Festival banquet

In Wuzhen, during the festive season, the neighbors will set up tables and chairs along the street. Wooden tables are connected to each other to hold a banquet. This is called the long street banquet, which is also known as the "square banquet" by the local people. It happened to be the Mid Autumn Festival, and the Mid Autumn Festival banquet was held in the lane of Zhaoming Academy.

When you open the menu, you can see all kinds of dishes. Each dish has its own way of thinking, and the collocation is just right.

The white jade fish balls are just like two small bright moons in a bowl.

Sprinkle a handful of Osmanthus newly picked this year on the chestnut soup. The taste is fragrant and smooth.

This banquet has been eating until nightfall, lighting lights, holding a cup in the night wind, and strangers from all over the world look at a bright moon. When everyone is slightly drunk, the carnival begins. The smile and wine will be raw and astringent. There are no travelers tonight. All of us will meet again after a long separation.

Golden autumn night

After dinner, choose a lamp to visit the garden. I've never seen so many lamps, paper, bamboo and glass; Round, flat and fat, with tassels... It dazzles me.

Passing by a shop specializing in making lanterns, I couldn't help stopping for a long time. The proprietress is amazingly skillful. She weaves the skeleton of the lantern with thin bamboo silk, and carefully covers it with paper and paints it with color. Just a lotus lamp, you need to use bamboo silk hand-made into dozens of petals of the framework, and then connect them together, not to mention the complicated process of dragon lantern.

Put a water lamp and watch them float away, just like fireflies flowing down the dark water in summer.

Floating in the air is a group of "jellyfish", stretching their slender and soft tentacles in the night wind.

There are twinkling stars in the sky and flowing light River on the ground.

Wuzhen morning tea guest

Last night, I came back from the garden. The next day, I wanted to sleep in, but I got up early because I didn't want to miss the early morning in Wuzhen. At night, Wuzhen is full of lights reflecting water, which is as bright as Xin Qiji's famous scenery - "flowers and trees in the east wind at night". The stars are like rain. " When Wuzhen wakes up again, she looks like a gentle and pure girl from Wu and Yue.

There are not many pedestrians on the road, and it's still cool in the morning. At this time, I can calm down and enjoy the ancient city carefully. I can look at her every brick, every stone, every plant, and let my thoughts spread. I wonder if there was a traveler who walked along the road I walked and passed through the small town in the south of the Yangtze River in the morning.

After about two quarters of an hour, the residents of Wuzhen got up one after another, and people began to laugh in the street.

It's about ten years since I washed my hair in such a barber shop.

The bridges and caves in Wuzhen are like the moon gates in Suzhou gardens. Each half arc frames a small landscape that belongs to the water town.

Friends who live in Wuzhen have two choices for breakfast. One is to enjoy a buffet in a hotel, the other is to be a morning tea guest. They can find their favorite snacks in the scenic spot for free, just remember to make an appointment one day in advance.

I chose a basket of fried dumplings, with vermicelli with dried shrimps and pickles, a small plate of dried bean curd with rich marinade and several crispy dumplings. The skin of Shaomai is as thin as paper, and the stuffing with bamboo shoots is so fresh that people can swallow it.

After breakfast, I went to the market. My grandfather set up a stall to sell his own vegetables and fruits. There was fresh dew on the shallot.

There are also people who carry the burden of selling new broken shell ducklings and pigeons. They are fluffy and small, and they will give out tender calls in the palm of their hands.

I see a fruit and vegetable cart with a beautiful appearance. It's the four seasons in the world, but today's tea and rice is not enough~

There are also water fairs with fruits and vegetables on board and selling along the river.

Sightseeing Boat

How can you come to Wuzhen without a boat? Take a boat with a canopy to walk on the river. When you meet the old lady and uncle, you are in a good mood. Maybe you can sing a boat ballad of that year.

Beside the water, the reed blossoms bloom just right. A bunch of snow-white and soft, reflecting the green river water, like the glaze covered with frost.

Concluding remarks

Looking back at Wuzhen, you can see the water scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. One leaf boat is light and two oars are startling. Clear water and clear sky, clear shadow and flat waves.
