Essays on Suzhou Travel Notes

My son is very busy at work at ordinary times and always thinks about how to use weekends to enrich my retirement life. However, the sky is not beautiful. The early winter in Shanghai is very abnormal. It should be a dry and cold season, but it rains continuously. I think people will get moldy if they don't clean up.

Finally, when the weather improved over the weekend, my son immediately arranged a trip to Suzhou. After careful consideration, there are many scenic spots in Suzhou, and the Humble Administrator's Garden (Garden) and Zhouzhuang (Water Town) can best represent the beauty of Suzhou. On Friday afternoon, my son filled Honda with gas, and my wife bought the food and drinks she needed on the road and packed the necessary clothes and appliances. On the morning of 28th, our family of six started a weekend trip to Suzhou and went to go on road trip. All along, the praise of Suzhou's beautiful scenery is the best in the world, and I have seen many related pictures. Once you are there, the wonderful excitement and excitement are unparalleled and heartfelt.

Suzhou Humble Administrator's Garden is centered on mountains and rivers, with pavilions, lingering mountains and rivers and lush flowers and trees. The Humble Administrator's Garden was built during Zheng De's reign in Ming Dynasty. At that time, Wang, an imperial envoy, was framed by the secret service of the DPRK for returning home, and it took sixteen years to build a garden here. After that, in the fourth year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty, assistant minister Wang Xinyi bought the land on the east side of the garden and built a private garden. These two gardens changed hands many times at any time. After liberation, they were postponed to be nationalized and merged into one garden, which is today's Humble Administrator's Garden. The whole park is divided into three parts, namely East Garden, Middle Garden and West Garden. The East Garden is spacious, the Middle Garden is exquisite and gorgeous, and the West Garden is wonderful and beautiful. The overall layout is rigorous and the local styles are different. There are mountains and waters, and there are buildings such as halls, corridors, pavilions, pavilions, buildings, platforms, pavilions, pavilions, restaurants, boats and walls. All buildings have both form and spirit, and their form and spirit are consistent with the natural environment in heaven and underground. At the same time, all parts of the park are naturally connected, thus reflecting the elegant, quiet and subtle artistic characteristics, and its beauty is the highest in the country. Dazzle your eyes, and in the meantime, you will gradually get better.

I was intoxicated with the paradise on earth created by my ancestors. Although the Humble Administrator's Garden is only one of Suzhou gardens, it has clearly embodied the cultural characteristics of the Chinese nation's "harmony between man and nature". It reflects China people's outlook on life of advocating and being close to nature. This project embodies the diligence and wisdom of ancient intellectuals and craftsmen. More importantly, it contains religious thoughts such as philosophy, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and traditional art essences such as landscape poems and China's calligraphy and painting. It is another portrayal of the profoundness of Chinese civilization. While appreciating the extraordinary creativity of our predecessors, we can't help admiring the noble and elegant lifestyle of manor owners, noble literati and literati. Looking back on the past and thinking about the present, I pray in my heart and call on today's human beings to cherish and protect the natural environment closely related to human beings while promoting modernization. Recently, smog weather has been raging all over the country, especially in big cities, which has seriously damaged the natural ecological environment and threatened human safety and health. The lesson is very profound.

In the evening, the family strolled by Jinji Lake, enjoying the beautiful night view of Suzhou and the swaying shadows in the lake. When we sat in the Moon Tower Hotel by the lake, tasted sweet and sour mandarin fish and Suwei crispy chicken, we really realized the leisure and romance of ancient Suzhou people.

The next day, after enjoying the buffet breakfast in the hotel, we immediately rushed to Zhouzhuang. At this time, the sky is gloomy, the air is humid, misty and drizzling, as if God intended to create a hazy and dreamy natural artistic conception for us to visit the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

As soon as you enter the scenic spot, you seem to have entered a fairyland on earth. The beauty of Zhouzhuang stems from the charm of water. The city is in the water, and the water is under the city, which is a major feature of Zhouzhuang. Brick-carved civil buildings in the town during the Ming and Qing Dynasties are row upon row. Stone arch bridges of various sizes are scattered all over the place. Bridges are connected with streets, and houses are built by rivers. The boats in the water are swaying and the green shadows are swaying. If you go to Zhouzhuang, you can't count Zhouzhuang without seeing Shuangqiao. Shuangqiao is the first of the four famous bridges in Zhouzhuang. American painter Chen Yifei's painting "Memories of Hometown" made it famous all over the world, and let more and more people appreciate the charming style of the small bridge in the ancient water town of China. Although the bridge and People's Lane are crowded with people and tourists, it has not affected everyone's interest and enthusiasm at all. We sometimes walk through narrow streets, and the plaques and flags on both sides of the door still exist; From time to time, I stepped on the stone bridge and watched the waterway disappear on the horizon. Sometimes I will stop at the store and be attracted by all kinds of tapestries and embroidery embroidered with folk patterns on the counter. In this way, stop and go, the phone is not idle for a moment, and it keeps ringing. Almost without much framing, you can shoot more than a dozen in one position. Because there are too many tourists, it is difficult to find a photo that is not disturbed by others when taking a group photo or taking a group photo. Fortunately, I took some photos of pure scenery, which met my needs of collecting materials.

Seeing that it was getting late, considering that there were still a few hours to go home, we reluctantly ended our short and pleasant trip to Suzhou. On the way back to Shanghai, everyone talked about the gains and feelings of this trip. In particular, I was deeply infected by the antique white wall tiles, leisurely moored curved boats, high walls and deep alleys going back and forth, the round arch bridge unique to the water town, and the quiet, warm and comfortable atmosphere of the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River. It keeps flashing in my mind. At this time, I personally realized what it means to return to nature and why it attracts famous painters at home and abroad. Why are the works of Zhouzhuang Painter Village particularly obscure? In my opinion, tourists from all over the country can not only feast their eyes, but also get a spiritual touch and baptism. Lao Tzu said, goodness is like water. It is water that makes Zhouzhuang seem so serene, tolerant of all worldly things and always live in harmony with the changes of the world. Don't people need this kind of tolerance and openness when they get along with others? Thanks to Zhouzhuang for bringing us this spiritual gift. Although this tour seems a bit hasty, some scenic spots haven't had time to patronize and taste, and many details of the story are left behind because there is no guide to explain them on the spot. Fortunately, the journey from Shanghai to Zhouzhuang is not far away, leaving some regrets, probably for returning after revisiting.
