Dream Huizhou
It was my idea to go to Huangshan. Since I went to Jiuhua Mountain and Tianzhu Mountain last year, I have been thinking about Huangshan Mountain, the most famous of the three famous mountains in Anhui. When my son heard about this plan, he was overjoyed. "When the Five Mountains return, he won't look at the mountains, and when Huangshan returns, he won't look at the mountains." Only then did he learn this famous saying. He is thinking about "welcoming pine" and "lotus peak". Besides Huangshan Mountain, I am also thinking about the ink painting Huizhou with "white wall and black tile horse head wall". "I have never dreamed of Huizhou in my life", a poem written by Tang Xianzu, a dramatist in the Ming Dynasty, attracted many dreamers to Huizhou to have a dream and seek a dream.
Take a quick look at Tunxi Old Street.
After five or six hours' drive, we arrived at Tunxi District, Huangshan City, the first stop. At noon, we had lunch and ate stinky mandarin fish, which was notorious.
after dinner, visit Tunxi Old Street.
Xin' anjiang passes around the city. In Ming and Qing Dynasties, the prosperous scenery where merchants gathered is no longer there. The river is long and takes away the history, but waves of people come to look for it. Walking along the Xin 'an River, I always want to hear about the noise and prosperity, the river was silent, and now the sky is dark and a rain seems to be brewing. On the rocks by the river, there are three or two women washing clothes. It seems that time has never passed, and housewives in Tunxi for thousands of years are still washing clothes by the river every day. I was stunned. Suddenly, there was a prompt sound of bicycle "Ding Ling Ling Ling Ling" coming from my side. Looking back, I almost bumped into a woman's bicycle and made way. Only then did I see her bicycle with a big bucket of clothes, and a wooden mallet for washing clothes stood in the meantime, rushing to the river to wash clothes. The sound of wooden sticks beating clothes is coming from the riverside ...
Tunxi Old Street can be described as "hidden in the city". Cross the riverside road and you will reach the street corner.
The street is short and bustling, and it is a veritable commercial street. The buildings are still those buildings, and the things sold may still be those of that year: Xuan paper, Hui ink, tea, biscuits, etc., and the people who can buy them are all tourists who come here. There are so many people that you can't look closely, and you can't look closely. If you pass in such a hurry, you should be here.
bagua village in Chengkan
On the way to Chengkan, the rain in the sky has been holding back. Chengkan was decided to go temporarily. Because it's a short time to visit the old street, it's still early to see it, and it seems to be a waste of an afternoon to go directly to Tangkou for accommodation; It's a bit far to go to Jixi Longchuan, and then get back to Tangkou. The time is definitely urgent, and it's a detour. It seems like a good arrangement to take the road to Tangkou, which not only makes full use of time, but also does not take the repeated road.
It's not far from Tunxi to Chengkan, and the road is easy. It's more than half an hour's drive. The prosperity of tourism is bound to promote the development of transportation, so it is not difficult to go to any scenic spot in Huangshan City.
Chengkan was also mentioned in the documentary "Dahuangshan", which is also a masterpiece of Huizhou folk houses. Zhu Xi praised Chengkan as "the first village in the south of the Yangtze River" and Bi Shumin praised it as "the most beautiful village in China". The Roche brothers moved here because they took a fancy to the unique geographical environment here. There are eight mountains around, which are close to the mountains and rivers, and they are integrated with natural landscapes. They are also called "the first village of geomantic omen in China".
after entering the gate of the scenic spot, we have to walk some way to the village. Whispering all the way, at first glance, you can't see its eight diagrams. Is it beautiful? Into the village, really don't have a hole in the sky. The distant mountains echo the ancient villages scattered between them, with green mountains and green waters, white walls and black tiles, which is a beautiful picture without painting.
while walking wildly with the tourists, I watched wildly by myself. Not to mention the stone bridge, the new lotus floating on the water, the silent old house, the old story in that house ... The green plants in the stone jar at the door and the brick carvings on the wall over the years are all exquisite, telling the story of time.
Walking through the alley, it seems that every family is similar. If you go around seven times and eight times, you will never get lost, because they are all connected. Finally, I went around to Luodongshu Temple, that is, Baolun Pavilion. After a long period of rain, I finally came down. Just stop here and listen to the guide's commentary.
it's still raining, and it's getting late, so we have to wait until the rain stops. As a tourist, I come and go in a hurry, and I can feel very little.
Go to Tangkou and climb Huangshan Mountain tomorrow. By the time I got to Tangkou, it was dark and the rain was still falling. Through the window, I took this distinctive photo, which was worthy of Huizhou.
"Climb Mount Huangshan, there are no mountains in the world"
Xu Xiake climbed Mount Huangshan twice and said with admiration, "Climb Mount Huangshan, there are no mountains in the world, and the view is over!" More than Xu Xiake, the magnificent beauty of Huangshan Mountain has attracted many poets, painters and other artists to chant, describe and enchant it, and left countless works of art. These works of art praise Huangshan from different angles, and let more and more people look for the footprints of the ancients to see the elegance of Huangshan. Huangshan nourishes artists, and artists endow Huangshan with artistic charm. The beauty of Huangshan Mountain goes without saying.
But it doesn't seem to be a good day to climb Huangshan Mountain. The weather forecast said it would rain before, and it rained that night. Will it be sunny tomorrow? However, I heard that the weather in Huangshan will change for a while. It will rain at the foot of the mountain, and it may be sunny on the mountain. It may rain on the mountain. Even if it's rainy, we should go ahead in the rain. It's ridiculous to come to Huangshan instead of climbing it.
the next morning, the weather cleared up, which was really gratifying. It's just a small holiday, and there are so many people. Waiting in line to sit in car ferry for an hour also torments our urgent mood. Sitting on the cable car from Ciguang Pavilion, sitting on the cable car, the sea of clouds is surging on the mountain, which is a good time to see the sea of clouds. The five wonders of Huangshan Mountain: strange pine, strange rocks, sea of clouds, hot springs and winter snow, are introduced in detail and presented perfectly in the documentary "Dahuangshan", especially the sea of clouds, which is called "fairyland on earth". I sat on the cable car, afraid to look around, hanging in the sky and rising continuously, some exciting and some dizzy. I took a quick look and took some photos.
get off the cable car and go straight to Yingkesong. There are too many tourists, and it is really appropriate to rub shoulders. The pace can't be opened at all, and the speed can't be fast at all. It's so welcoming that there are so many people. The first strange pine in the world, I finally came to see you! These tourists probably think so, too
From the road next to Yingkesong, it's only a few hundred meters down, and after crossing the "first sight", you can see the "Penglai Three Islands". Because of the fog, it's really like the secret land of Fairy Mountain. Return at this point, give up Tiandu Peak and continue to March to Lotus Peak and Guangming Top.
I really admire the pioneers, especially Master Pumen, because of his unremitting efforts, Huangshan can show more beauty to the world. There is little soil on the mountain, and almost all of it is covered with stones, so there are many strange rocks in Huangshan Mountain. How difficult it is to cut a way out in the stone! What's more, it's on a steep stone wall. When climbing the 1-step ladder, I was even more worried. I went straight up and down, next to the cliff, but the higher peak and more beautiful scenery were just after such a steep road. Lotus peak is on a break, passing by, looking at it from a distance, looking at it for this look!
After the Lotus Peak, it is the Aoyu Peak, and then it goes to Tianhai. There are strange pines and rocks all the way, so I have no time to take care of them at this time. It depends on the road under my feet. There are too many people and the road is really steep. From Tianhai to Guangmingding, this section of the road is not difficult to walk, stop and go, and I don't feel tired.
The ball at the current Guangmingding is actually a weather station, and not far away is an alchemist peak. Pumen once founded the Great Tragedy Hospital here. Huangshan Mountain has a close relationship with religion, and Taoism and Buddhism spread here. It is said that Xuanyuan Huangdi cultivated himself here and became immortal, hence the name Huangshan Mountain, and thus accumulated a rich Huangdi culture. An inconspicuous stone carving next to Guangmingding is also telling the story of taking medicine to make an alchemy and achieving immortality.
get off at the top of Guangming, and go straight to Baieling to queue up and take the cable car down Yungu. Many scenic spots are also skipped. Looking back at Huangshan Mountain, it is still misty and illusory. Have I been here? Have I been there?
ink painting Hongcun
Hongcun is planned. Hongcun is a place where Wang lives in compact communities, which is described in detail in the documentary "Dahuangshan". Get off Mount Huangshan and go straight to Hongcun. Travel, more time is on the road. From Tangkou to Hongcun, the mountain road twists and turns, and the mountains are covered with lush forests and bamboo, and occasionally flow through a stream, with clear water and smooth stone. If it weren't for the development of tourism, it would be very quiet here. It's no wonder that wealthy businessmen of Han nationality moved here to escape the war. Although tired, I have to say that the journey is pleasing to the eye.
I found my previously booked residence, and after dinner, I plan to visit the village in the evening. Tickets for Hongcun Village are valid for three days. If you buy tickets tonight, you can watch the night scene and continue to visit tomorrow during the day.
I didn't read the map or the raiders. I came to the village and wandered around the alley with the lights. Although it is evening, the village is still lively, and some people still have small tables for dinner at the door.
I accidentally entered a place, suddenly opened, and a pool of water lay still in it. (I didn't know it was a moon marsh until I came the next day. The house is built around the water, and lanterns are hung in front of every house, but it is also a flavor.
I just walked around aimlessly, looking at the house, looking at the lanterns and looking at Hongcun at night.
after breakfast the next day, I continued Hongcun's footsteps. The sky is clear, it is estimated that it is a moment of peace before the rain. There are already many tourists, and the quiet ancient village seems to be dismissive and silent. We followed the tourists, passed two ancient trees at the entrance of the village, and took the road by the South Lake to the right, only to find the beautiful ink and wash scenery set off by mountains and rivers, which is exactly what "people walk in paintings" and deserves to be called "the country in Chinese paintings". If I had come here last night, there would have been lanterns hanging in front of every house, which must have been beautiful.
across the stone bridge is Nanhu academy. Then I saw a few scenic spots at random, and arrived at the Moon Marsh, the center of the village, also known as "Cow's Stomach". Hongcun pioneered bionics and wrote a water article around the shape of a cow. Clear stones spread around the moon marsh, and the houses with white walls and black tiles are arranged in an orderly manner. Clouds pass by, and the houses are reflected in them, like another painting. It is raining at the moment, and in the misty rain, it is a good painting.
Next to the Moon Marsh is the Wang Ancestral Hall. Without looking closely, I came to Chengzhi Hall, which is known as the "folk palace". The interior decoration of brick, stone and wood carving is magnificent, showing the characteristics of Huizhou architecture everywhere. After listening to the tour guide, how rich this family was at that time. Touching the wood carvings of these old houses, they were touched by craftsmen who built them more than 1 years ago, by proud owners, or by the servants of this family ... Where are these people now? The woodcarving is still here, and it continues to be appreciated, touched and admired by visitors who come and go.
Not far from Chengzhi Hall, Shuren Hall is a small museum in Hongcun. Only for a moment. Go out of the village through the alley. Passing through a small courtyard, the yard is full of flowers and plants, and a little girl is playing there, which makes her envious. Just grow up quietly and become a gentle and virtuous woman like Hongcun!
When you come out of the village, artists can be seen everywhere sketching by the lake. Hongcun is in their paintings, and they are also in Hongcun's paintings. Maybe they are also looking for dreams, or maybe they are building dreams for others.
