What are the interesting places in western Fujian?

During the Spring Festival, a family of three spent four days driving to Longyan in western Fujian. It was originally planned to go from Changshanxia Expressway to Longyan along National Highway 205 via Nanping and Sanming, and then return along Shenhai (Fujian) Expressway. I thought about it for half a night before leaving, but I went to expressway in order to catch up with the time, but I lost the scenery along the way.

D 1: Depart from home at 6: 50 in the morning. At this time, because it was the third day of the New Year's Eve, the street seemed empty. A little sleepy, I drove to Hangjinqu Expressway and then turned into Jinliwen Expressway. At first, Wang Erxiao happily counted one, two, three,,, and soon fell asleep, but after listening to Heaven, I was more awake.

Longyan City, located in the southwest of Fujian at the junction of Guangdong and Jiangxi, governs 8 counties including Liancheng, Yongding and Changting. This is the birthplace of Hakka, a famous hometown of overseas Chinese in Fujian, and also the ancestral home of Taiwan Province compatriots and Hakkas. It is not only famous for its beautiful scenery in Yamazaki, but also for its tulou dwellings and Hakka folk customs. Mountains and rivers and humanities complement each other, weaving a wonderful picture of western Fujian customs.

Leek Garden is a pedestrian street in Longyan city, where I found an old Nai beef restaurant and ordered beef balls, beef tendon balls and duck powder, all of which are local specialty snacks. I want all the cheap ones anyway. After dinner, I wandered in the street. I see that all the girls here are wearing only one or two clothes, and below them are a pair of boots and a short skirt, which is very obvious compared with our thick sweaters and leather jackets. The block is not big, but there are many people. In addition to buying local specialties, shops along the street are more fireworks and firecrackers, which keep banging in the night sky, bringing a lot of excitement to the town during the Spring Festival, which is hardly seen in shopping malls in my hometown, because it has been banned in urban areas in recent years.

D2: I was very tired all the way yesterday. I didn't set my cell phone alarm clock when I went to bed at night. Fortunately, I got a call from Yu. At first glance, it was eight o'clock in the morning. After washing in a hurry, I rushed to Liancheng. Longyan to Liancheng125km, surrounded by mountains along the way. The scenery is good, sometimes it rains and sometimes it is sunny. After the rain, the sun appeared on the mountain. Once you are in a good mood, you will feel that Shan Ye is empty and rainy.

Liancheng County was founded in Shaoxing, Song Dynasty for three years (namely 1 133). It is named after Lotus Castle, which is called "Lotus" for short. Later, because the court thought that the word "Lotus" was changed to "Lotus City", I often thought of Jin Yong's novel "Lotus City" along the way, and my wife said that this landscape was priceless. The famous poet Cai Qijiao wrote in Guan Qing: the land of love/the mystery of hidden soul/noisy meditation/and the sadness of the gods. Liancheng Guanzhi Mountain is a national 4A-level scenic spot, with flat terrain in the east of the city, clear water reflecting Danshan, and a combination of yin and yang, and is known as the "Hakka Holy Mountain". Because the main purpose of my visit is not the mountains, but Peitian and the old villages in Bao Si.

When I asked a girl at a crossroads near Liancheng, I didn't know whether to call her Miss or Little Sister. It is said that Hakkas, regardless of their size, are called women's aunts, and they don't want to say nice names for a while, just shout and their wives laugh behind their backs. When I got off the bus with this map, I asked her, "Peitian has gone too far, and Bao Si is roughly in the front direction. The details are not very clear. In order to confirm, she specially called home, which was very touching and worthy of being a Hakka or an enthusiastic person. "

Along the direction, although it is a cement road, it is very narrow and full of motorcycles. There are many people in several market towns along the road, and fireworks and firecrackers are still flying all over the sky. It took about 20 kilometers to drive for an hour, and finally arrived in Bao Si. As a result, I was disappointed. I can't find the scenic spot I want to go to. I asked pedestrians that there was only one ancient woodcut exhibition hall in the compound of the township government, so I went back to the township government. No one is on duty during the Spring Festival. I can't even find a brand.

It was nearly noon, and I couldn't find a decent restaurant along the way, so I ate shortbread with me. I thought Changting was the birthplace of Hakka cuisine, and then I would have lunch there. It's important to eat local snacks after a long trip, so I can't miss this meal.

Liancheng is nearly 100 kilometers from Changting, and it is already more than two o'clock in the afternoon. Changting is called one of the two most beautiful towns in China by the New Zealand writer Alley (the other is Phoenix in Hunan). The result is not as attractive as it is said. I asked the local people what good places to go. The scenic spots are scattered and not well protected. The red banners hanging on the ancient city wall along the river are very uncoordinated, and there is rubbish everywhere under the city wall. There is no charm in the poem: "There are fields outside the castle peak in the city, six bridges around the city are connected with mountains and rivers, eight scenic spots, nine gates and ten ancient temples, and ten thousand trees and plum blossoms." Finally found an old street, which is also very shabby. At the moment, it is raining harder and harder. I walked under the low eaves with an umbrella, and my pants and shoes were soaked. Hungry, I found a restaurant to eat at the small square of the ancient city wall. It's almost three o'clock in the afternoon The owner of this hotel is very kind. It is said that today is the first day of the Spring Festival, and there are many people. I still have to ask, can the kitchen cook? Anyway, when I got to the second floor, I ordered several local Hakka famous dishes: Hotan boiled chicken, large bamboo shoots, and listened to the recommendation of the guests at the table next to the box, then steamed silver carp, added a pot of Tingzhou wine and took a sip. The sweetness is very good, but for me, I am not used to drinking, so I have to put it on the side, full of food and drink.

Peitian Ancient Village is located between Changting and Pengkou Town in Longyan, and it is already past four o'clock in the afternoon. Built in Ming and Qing Dynasties, Peitian ancient residential complex consists of 30 high-rise mansions, 20 ancestral halls, 6 academies, 2 arcades across the street, 3 temples and 2 ancient streets, with a large scale and exquisite stone and wood carving construction techniques. Entering the village is like a maze, and the old houses are one after another. You don't have to get lost when you walk from one house to another. Watching the people in the village take up their rice bowls for dinner, I thought I was leaving for Longyan City. It was already past 7 pm when I found a place in the city, and I ran nearly 500 kilometers that day. (To be continued)
