The place in memory

Although Wuhan will be unsealed next month, our community is still under control, and I have no desire to go out. I just read the travel notes written a few days ago, which reminds me of the places I have been.

I rearranged the text again and found the photos from the hard disk. Fortunately, everything is still there.

Wuzhen, the first time I knew this name, it was because of a TV series-time flies. Wuzhen is like an intoxicating ink painting scroll unfolding slowly on TV, where an elegant hero and a beautiful heroine meet and break their hearts. A 30-year love fairy tale and the most eternal thoughts in my life are described in this beautiful picture. ...

All the sleepless nights on the train disappeared inexplicably in Hangzhou. Hangzhou is a kind city, as if it was there before, not just a color on the map.

On the special bus from Hangzhou to Wuzhen, a pair of curious eyes kept browsing the scenery on the roadside, and a curious heart was more and more eager to join the dream town in the picture.

Like all water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, Wuzhen is simple, beautiful and quiet, with small bridges, flowing water, deep houses, bluestone steps and exquisite houses.

Because there is water, there is aura, because there is water, there is mood. Some people say that Wuzhen is the cover of Jiangnan water town, and some people say that Wuzhen is the most dazzling pearl scattered in Jiangnan water town. When I personally walked into this dreamy place, I found that all the descriptions were not enough.

After completing all the formalities in Wuzhen B&B Tourism Center, we took a special boat to B&B in Wuzhen, Zhaxi. The weather in April and May is said to be the best time to visit Wuzhen, but it happened that we caught up.

At first glance, Wuzhen is a long wooden boat, which slowly pulls us from the troubled world into a dream. At first glance, the black and white horse head wall slowly dragged us from the reinforced concrete forest into the elegant and mysterious Ming and Qing dynasties; It's the endless woodcarving courtyard door that suddenly awakens the tenderness and romance lurking in our hearts.

We entered a triple room near the water. When we first arrived, the simple and enthusiastic landlord was waiting for us at the door.

Almost rushed into the room, there was a simple kettle and teacup on the table, the edge of the bed was made of blue printed cloth, and a white mosquito net was carefully hung on the bed.

We cheered with surprise when we opened the doors and windows. The river flows slowly through the front door, and we can sleep with it at night.

Although Wuzhen has experienced many vicissitudes, it still completely retains the original landscape pattern of the ancient water town. The whole town is surrounded by rivers, bridges and streets. The houses built by the river, the deep houses and the pavilions by the water all present an ancient and quiet style.

Zhaxi is a well-developed scenic spot in Wuzhen. Combined with the characteristics of the original residential style, it creates a harmonious block for tourists under the shell of Ming and Qing architecture, which seems to be able to cross ancient and modern times.

Tashi's most beautiful time should be when the lights are on, when you board the original ship and the scenery on both sides of the strait is completely panoramic. The light is reflected in the water, and the cool breeze blows gently, making people unable to tell whether the light is in the water or on the shore.

Far away, the exquisite lantern boat was rocked by the boatman; On the nearby river bank, groups of laughter and laughter sat by the water. From the initial boat, along the long hutong of Tashi B&B, everything you can see is fresh. The significance of tourism to people is not only the change of space, but also the change of mood. Wandering on the bluestone road, how wonderful it is to meet your heart and meet your ease.

There are various specialty shops in the hut along the river in Zhaxi Scenic Area. Shopkeepers either sell local handicrafts or sell their own ideas. In short, American tourists will have a hundred reasons to take out their wallets willingly.

There are also bars and teahouses with modern flavor in the scenic area. With the simple architecture of Wuzhen, it reveals a special and mysterious feeling. Open-air bar refreshing for a cup, a cup of scented tea under the veil carefully poured.

Dongzha is the earliest scenic spot opened to the outside world in Wuzhen. Among all the scenic spots, the most striking is the former residence of the great writer Mr. Mao Dun. We followed the tourists into Mr. Mao Dun's former residence. It is said that what I saw in front of me was what Mr. Mao Dun looked like when he was alive.

The former residence is a two-story wooden building. At that time, Mr. Wang's family had a large population, and the cooking stoves were all four-hole stoves. A room facing the west street is the home school where Mr. Wang once studied. Although the layout is simple, it reveals the unique elegance and tranquility of the Shenyang family for generations.

Speaking of Wuzhen, you must go to Linjiadian. Opposite Mao Dun's former residence is a storefront with the name of "Linjiadian" hanging high. Today, there is no longer Mr. Lin wearing a gown and frowning in the old movies, and there are several delicate Jiangnan girls wearing blue calico square towels and blue calico underwear, enthusiastically recommending various local specialties to us.

It is said that this Lin store was originally built because of Mr. Mao Dun's "Lin store". With the endless stream of visitors, the business of this store is getting better and better, unlike the tragic fate of bankruptcy in old movies.

Another attraction that attracted me was the Yuliuliang Coin Museum in Dongzha Scenic Area. According to the introduction in the museum, Yu Liuliang is a coin collector, a native of Wuzhen, and is known as the "rich man" in Jiangnan. He has painstakingly collected for decades and has nearly 26,000 kinds of coins from more than 230 countries and regions in the world. We took a cursory tour in this small blue tile residence and wandered in this vast coin world, and our eyes were attracted by these small coins again and again.

During the day, Dongzha is full of lively scenes and busy footsteps, and people come and go. Then I went to Jiangnan Folk Museum, Jiangnan Woodcarving Museum and Jiangnan Hundred Bed Museum to listen to legends and appreciate the unique characteristics of Jiangnan. In a trance, I envy the former Wuzhen people.

Before I arrived in Wuzhen, I had collected the local specialties and recorded them one by one, and made up my mind to taste them all.

During my stay in Wuzhen, the specialties included braised mutton, steamed white water fish, live chicken pot, braised pork with plum vegetables, small screws, dried stinky tofu, Ding Sheng cakes, stewed onions and chrysanthemum tea. They were put on our table one by one, but my favorite is Ding Sheng cake, which is wrapped in delicate bean paste and delicious. It is said that this is a small cake with a story. It will win, and it will win. What a nice color!

On the morning of leaving Wuzhen, it began to rain. I can't wait to open the door by the river and watch the rain drop on the river and draw concentric circles.

I feel really lucky, because the moment I stepped into Zhaxi alley, I remembered the song Rain Lane, and I was looking forward to walking in the alley with an oiled paper umbrella. It's amazing that even this wish can come true.

Looking down the window, someone was standing on the bridge with an umbrella. Does he want the same thing as me?

The bluestone steps were washed more cleanly by the rain. I set foot on them again, and my heart was filled with the tenderness of the water town. The surrounding air seemed to be filled with a thin layer of water mist, and the simple landlady said goodbye to us in the rain.

I think this place, I should come again ...
