Shangyu is a typical place of Wuyue cultural heritage. It has thousands of years of cultural connotation and traditional customs that have been perfectly passed down. The people living here still maintain the ancient and simple folk customs. The scenery here is pleasant. The landscape is dynamic and full of uninhibited spirit.
Shangyu belongs to Shaoxing City and is relatively close to Ningbo. The first time I went to Shangyu was because of an encounter with Tao. I got to know Shangyu. After getting to know Shangyu, I had the expectation and motivation for the next trip. Weekend itinerary
Day 1
Zhujiazhuang - Chenxi Style Town - Chinese Xiaode Garden - Style Street Night Market
Second Tian
Dongshan Scenic Area - Phoenix Mountain Ruins - Ciyuan Cultural Town Zhujiazhuang
I believe everyone knows the poignant love story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, Zhujiazhuang The scenic spot is Zhu Yingtai's home, and it is also the place where the two of them last met. In the story of Butterfly Lovers, Zhu Yingtai was proposed for marriage in Zhujiazhuang.
The main attractions here are the Yuanwai Building where Zhu Yingtai’s father lived and the Yingtai Building where Zhu Yingtai lived. The entire scenic area is a Jiangnan garden-style building, simple and elegant, just like a scholar’s home.
On the second floor of Yingtai Building is Zhu Yingtai’s living room, which imitates the style of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. There are also wax figures of Liang and Zhu in the middle, telling the story of the "Rooftop Meeting". Chenxi Town
Speaking of Chenxi Township and Siming Mountain, it has a profound cultural heritage. Wang Mingyang visited here in 1513, which made it famous. Now Chenxi Township has created a characteristic Cultural routes.
During the trip, I met many students traveling to Chenxi, as well as local villagers who came out to play during the holidays. The culture of Chenxi Village is particularly suitable for study tours, with a beautiful environment and humanistic stories. Carp Dam is the first place I saw this time. It is a weir dam located on Longxi River. It is shaped like a carp and has a beautiful environment. The stalagmite mountains are reflected in the pond. Local villagers come to the dam to fish. The children took off their shoes and played in the pool, which was very pleasant.
You can walk around the entire village. The exhibition hall where Wang Yangming’s ancestors lived has ink displays and his family history. You can go here to learn about the idea of "unity of action and knowledge".
The Zhuyin Market next to Chenxi Bus Station is very suitable for people like me who like to buy souvenirs. It gathers special agricultural products from eight villages in Chenxi Township, as well as old intangible cultural heritage inheritors. Grandpa makes bamboo products on site.
There are several good B&Bs in Chenxi Township, but unfortunately they were not booked in advance. They are already fully booked. I heard they are very good. I will definitely stay there for one night if I have the chance to come again next time. Chinese Filial Virtue Garden
This scenic spot is built with the core of Cao E and Dashun, two representative figures in ancient times who can represent morality and filial piety. It is also a recent Internet celebrity attraction. .
In the park, there are stone carvings recording the life of Shun, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, "Shenzhou Shun Ji". There are stories about how he managed to save his life after being bullied by his stepmother since he was a child, and there are also stories about the subsequent battles on the battlefield. Each stone carving is paired with a touching story. story, it would be better to follow the tour guide in the park.
I saw a building from a distance that caught my eye. It turned out to be the Dashun Temple. This building complex is more like the buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is simple and solemn. There is also a temple in the main hall. The bronze statue of Shun, this temple of Shun was later rebuilt, and the two beams of the original temple are now hung in the main hall.
Another major attraction in Xiaode Garden is the "Shun Geng Group of Sculptures", which is composed of 14 stone elephants. It was designed by the international arts and crafts master Mr. Han Meilin and was made in Hebei Province. It took 51 large trucks to transport it to Shangyu.
The picture may not show how big it is, but standing next to the sculpture makes you realize how majestic it is. I heard that many tourists come here specifically to see these sculptures. An elephant's. Fengqing Street Night Market
The Xiaode Garden is still telling the story of Xiaode during the day, but it is very lively at night. If you want to eat the fireworks of the world (buy specialties), you really can’t miss this place.
This is the first time I have seen a night market in a scenic spot. Every Friday from 7 to 9 o'clock, this is definitely the busiest place in Shangyu! As a senior foodie, this place is really great. It’s so delicious!
Walking all the way in from the main entrance, the densely packed stalls cheered me up. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to such a lively place.
Xietang’s spiced dried tofu, pastries, lotus pods from Shangyu Ciyuan, grapes from Gaibei, red kiwi fruit,
Shaoxing fermented bean curd/thousand sheets, gathering all kinds of special food and non-food The price of traditional food is also very popular. Many locals buy one bag in the left hand and one in the right hand. Eight o'clock in the evening is the time when there are the most people. If you want to buy good goods early, you must go around seven o'clock.
The most important thing is that there is no admission fee here! Dongshan Scenic Area
Dongshan Scenic Area is the next day’s itinerary. Dongshan is also called Xie An Mountain. It was Xie An’s "comeback". This is also the origin of the idiom "a place of seclusion".
In addition to the Ten Scenic Spots of Dongshan, there are also Xie'an's Tomb and Taifu Temple. Xie'an's Tomb is on the top of Dongshan, facing the Cao'e River. It is a geomantic treasure land, with This National Day Temple has not been opened recently. It is said that Bai Juyi also composed a poem here at that time.
The Taifu Temple was built by the descendants of the Xie family. As soon as you enter, you can see a character relationship diagram. This mainly displays Xie An’s life experience at that time and the indifference and glory of the Xie family. The one who impressed me the most was director Xie Jin of Shanghai Film Studio. It turns out that his hometown is Shangyu and he is also a descendant of Xie An, so after his death, he also entered this family tree portrait.
You can follow the tour guide to hear the stories of the pictures in it. Xie An and Wang Xizhi are also in-laws. Xie Daoyun in the picture is Xie An’s niece and married to Wang Xizhi’s second son. Fenghuangshan Archaeological Site
Fenghuangshan Archaeological Site Park has just been opened recently. There are still some ruins in it that have not been fully opened. You need to take a battery car to get to the ruins park. After you get to the dam, you can see a friendship
The scenery of the reservoir is super beautiful, and it is also the core area of archaeology.
This is the main place to visit Shangyu Yue kiln celadon. There is a very well-preserved dragon kiln on display here. I remember that the last time I saw a dragon kiln was in a small mountain village in Guangxi. Unexpectedly, Shangyu
Also, the period from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Western Jin Dynasty was the peak period of Shangyu Yue kiln celadon production.
There is also an exhibition hall of the origin of the porcelain country. You can see some celadon works from the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty, as well as some stories about celadon, so that we can better understand this scenic spot. Ciyuan Cultural Town
Have you ever tasted freshly picked lotus seeds that are sweet? Although I live in the Jiangnan area, I often eat lotus seeds, but this is really the first time I taste them fresh and sweet. The lotus seeds are fresh and sweet, and the lotus heart is not bitter at all.
In the night market stalls in Xiaodeyuan, Ciyuan’s lotus pods are also a special feature. You can buy 5-7 lotus pods for ten yuan. This price-performance ratio is particularly high in the Yangtze River Delta. The most important thing is that you can eat the freshest lotus seeds here. Often the lotus seeds will not taste so fresh after being picked for half a day.
At the end of August, there are still lotus plants planted in large areas of ponds. It is very spectacular at a glance. I think the lotus roots here will be particularly delicious by then.
However, the lotus pods in Ciyuan are just one of the regional delicacies. The real soul here is the Ciyuan culture. Many schools regard Ciyuan Cultural Town as a study center and bring students here during the summer vacation. Study here. The art galleries and collections here have many celadon works, some of which are for sale.
We also visited an artist’s workshop. The craftsmen have won many certificates and trophies. They are really hard-working intangible cultural heritage craftsmen. Visiting his factory, the step-by-step process starting from the sedimentation of mud requires great care. There is a place in the factory where you can try making porcelain by yourself, but today it has been reserved by the children who are studying. His factory also placed some celadon fragments unearthed from archaeological excavations at that time.
