Idle is Idle —— Exploring Slow Life in Suzhou (ⅵ)

... behind the tiger hill, an ethereal world ...

October holiday, the fifth day, sunny and breezy.

Today's theme activity: Visit Tiger Hill.

a native of Suzhou, who has been to Tiger Hill for many times, works near Tiger Hill, and has a weak feeling about Tiger Hill.

on the way, I checked the route, and there was a traffic jam ahead, and there was a big red area. I decided to take National Highway 312 and enter through the back door.

People are surging, full of cars and people, crowded in this world, but I still want to see the bleak Tiger Hill.

The back entrance is the back hill of Tiger Hill, which is my favorite route.

fortunately, there are not many people in the back hill, which is quiet and elegant.

A winding mountain road, shaded by trees on both sides, strolled here, breathing fresh air, and a bed of tea trees appeared in my eyes. I didn't know there were tea trees here. My husband told me: This is Huqiu tea, which is the kind of tea drunk in Huqiu teahouse.

When I was a child, scenes emerged. At that time, there were really many such teas at home. Unfortunately, I didn't like drinking tea at that time, and I had forgotten the taste.

Walking down the steps, I came to the tea garden, filled with faint fragrance of tea, which seemed to be floating a little bit, and I was very intoxicated.

from time to time, there are carriages passing by on the path, and the sound of horses' hooves and kicking are like distant scenes, which are staged in the charming scenery.

a sound of water came from far away, roaring from the mountain spring. Thinking of my former self, I always use my lunch break to come here to read books, find a big stone, read books quietly with the sound of water and birds singing, and spend an hour or two. Usually, there are almost no people here, and no one bothers me, which really makes people like it. Only later, such opportunities become less and less, and I can no longer feel such elegance.

when you come to a mountain villa, there is a big courtyard and a pavilion where you sit on the flowers and get drunk on the moon, so that the wind and smoke here have the flavor of keeping pace with the times, and you can sit and watch the clouds, get drunk in autumn, and a kind of artistic conception flows here.

A beautiful girl wearing Hanfu dazzles her eyes like a flowing landscape. It's really beautiful. It's the ultimate beauty. With the wind and silence here, she puts a touch of autumn scenery in full swing and can't move her feet any more.

I came to the main entrance before I knew it, and people were flooding in. I didn't want to follow the crowd to see tiger hill or the Tiger Hill Sword Pool. I heard too many stories here. The leaning tower of Tiger Hill was like this when I was very young, but it never stood. Listen to the old man said: If one day, tiger hill falls, Suzhou will be lost, and the whole city of Suzhou will be flooded by floods. I also heard that there are many treasures buried in tiger hill. As long as someone wants to move, the arrows on the organ will be fired ...

All kinds of stories I have heard since childhood are endless, and there is always a mystery that scares my childhood. Every time I walk to tiger hill, I will have a cold sweat.

continue to wander in the back hill.

just go through the main gate and keep going.

come to Wanjing Mountain Villa.

The memory clearly reproduces the scene in Na Yue that year.

You and I came down from the former mountain, turned several corners, and came to Wanjing Mountain Villa, the bonsai world.

It was raining that day, and we walked here with an umbrella. You lamented that it was raining heavily, but I said that I just like this rainy day. This artistic conception is beautiful. I told you all the way, and in the rain, I left a figure after another.

the small time when you are busy with me.

just, in a blink of an eye, it was a cloud shortage.

Today's Wanjing Mountain Villa is sparsely populated. The rockery of Taihu Stone is lined with green plants, and an ink painting slowly begins, which brings together the essence of Su-style bonsai, ranking first among all gardens in Suzhou.

very moved.

After coming out from here, we continue to wander. The mountain vegetation is as dense as before, the forest is rich and the pleasant microclimate of the green island has become a paradise for birds to compete for habitat. In that autumn, we saw thousands of herons hovering around the tower, which was spectacular and became a must here.

after half a day, I spent all my time in the back hill, and the sunshine leaked through the cracks in the trees. It was clear and shallow, dense, quiet and elegant mountain roads, towering old trees and verdant grass, and an ethereal world came into being.

Only in this early autumn, Ginkgo biloba has not turned yellow. When we look at Ginkgo biloba in late autumn, the charm will not be as beautiful as usual.

Looking forward to that day ...
