Even in Dongshan, Dongting, far away from the city, there are many famous Suzhou-style noodles, such as this bowl of noodles from Dongshan Diaohualou Restaurant. It has always attracted countless diners to drive dozens of kilometers to taste it early in the morning. The soul and essence of the old noodle soup lies in the word "soup"

The original soup of Diaohualou old noodle soup is made from large bones and whole chicken. , eel bones and other main ingredients, added with various seasonings, and simmered for a long time, the noodle soup is rich and mellow. The noodles of the old soup noodles are also specially customized, and they are smooth and chewy, which is a perfect match for the old soup.

In addition, the toppings of Diaohualou Old Soup Noodles are unique. According to the characteristics of Suzhou people, seasonal toppings are available throughout the year. In autumn and winter, the main dishes here are mutton noodles and black fish slices. It is delicious and paired with a bowl of warm old noodle soup, which makes you sweat a little and feels very comfortable.

After eating the old noodle soup, I happened to visit the Diaohualou next to it, which is called "Dongshan Diaohualou". "Spring is in the building" is taken from Yu Yue's poem "The flowers have fallen and spring is still there, and the sky is full of sunshine." With its exquisite carvings and ingenious structure, it is known as "the first building in the south of the Yangtze River".

Carved Building< /p>

The Diaohua Building was built in 1922 as the residence of Jin Xi, a wealthy businessman from Dongshan and the “King of Cotton Yarn in Shanghai during the Republic of China”. The overall design is a combination of Chinese and Western styles, with Chinese style as the mainstay, and it has a photo wall, a brick-carved gatehouse and a front building. , back building, attached room, garden, etc., are masterpieces built by Xiangshan Gang craftsmen in three years.

“Everywhere in the building is carved, and the carvings are exquisite everywhere.” There are all kinds of carvings in the Diaohua Building. 3854 pieces, including 2708 wood carvings, 289 brick carvings, 86 stone carvings, 611 gold carvings, and 160 clay carvings. Look carefully, Songhe Yannian, Taigong Eighty, Phoenix Wearing Peony, Hehe Erxian, Twenty-Four Filial Piety Stories and legends such as "The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "The Romance of the West Chamber" are all engraved on the beams, columns, windows and grilles of the Diaohua Building. The patterns are lifelike and leave the world with endless reveries.

Purple Gold Temple

Zijin Nunnery is located in Ximaowu, Dongshan, about 4 kilometers away from Diaohua Tower. It is surrounded by mountains and greenery, and has a quiet artistic conception of "an ancient temple hidden in the mountains".

There are two and a half clay sculpture halls in the world, and Zijin Temple occupies the only one. The sixteen painted clay sculptures of Arhats are said to be the works of Handlei Chao and his wife, who are famous folk sculptures in Hangzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty. They have a history of more than 800 years. The proportions are moderate, the appearance is different, and the lifelikeness is the essence of our country's sculpture art.

There is an ancient ginkgo tree in Zijin'an Scenic Area. If you come here in late autumn, you can just see the glorious scenery of ginkgo here. The yellow walls and golden ginkgo leaves complement each other, attracting many photography enthusiasts.

Fruit recommendation:

Autumn in Dongting Dongshan belongs to oranges. Tourists from all over the country come by car to pick and taste oranges. Some farmhouses in Dongshan have also launched “orange” products in time. ” themed seasonal dishes.

While passing by the Moli Peak Mountain Ring Road, we found a private restaurant specializing in specialties, which is very popular in the local area. Their farmhouse dishes are all authentic Suzhou flavors, and the newly launched delicacies such as orange shrimp, colorful orange fish rice, and orange dumplings have attracted many diners to check in.

The orange-flap shrimp tastes sour and sweet, with a touch of orange aroma. It tastes springy and refreshing. The shape of colorful orange-flavored fish and rice reminds people of a famous dish - crab stuffed with orange. The oranges were carved by the chef into the shape of a small bowl, with shrimps, chicken head rice and other ingredients hidden inside. They were not only colorful, but also tasted unique.

There is also a classic Soviet-style sweet soup called Tangluo Yuanzi. The soft and glutinous dumplings are cooked together with the sour and sweet oranges, which is very similar to the taste of childhood.

After eating delicious orange dishes, we could arrange to go up the mountain to pick oranges in the afternoon. Although you can see many orange farmers selling oranges along the Mount Moli Peak Road, of course you still have to pick the freshest oranges yourself!

Taste mutton:

Autumn and winter It’s the season to eat mutton. There are representative mutton delicacies across Suzhou, such as Zangshu mutton, Taoyuan braised mutton, Taicang Shuangfeng mutton, etc. In Dongting Dongshan, the white-cut mutton wrapped in lotus leaves is the favorite of the locals.

At the entrance of the alley next to the Dongshan vegetable market, there is Dongshan Short Toilet Mutton, which is a well-known local mutton shop. The owner's family has inherited the cooking skills of white-cut mutton for five generations, and always adheres to the saying "the original flavor only adds salt, this is the original freshness".

In recent years, many tourists from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai have driven to Dongshan to take home a portion of mutton wrapped in lotus leaves. Whether it is a topping or a cold dish, it tastes great!
