Another side of Hangzhou: Drink tea in the ancient capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, walk around Wushan, and experience a dream return to Lin'an

Speaking of Hangzhou, the most famous one is West Lake.

Almost all tourists who come here will go to the West Lake for a tour.

Not far from the West Lake is Hefang Street, where many tourists go shopping and eat snacks at night.

The place I recommend now is Wushan-Wugongshan near Hefang Street.

Wugong Mountain was named after Wu Zixu, a great official of the State of Wu during the Spring and Autumn Period. There is a Wugong Temple on the mountain for worshiping him.

Going up the mountain from the main road, pay more attention to your steps along the way, and you will see many unexpected little surprises.

There are many words like this in different fonts.

Go uphill slowly.

Going up the mountain from here, you will pass the "Wushan Tianfeng" Chenghuang Pavilion. There are also some tourist attractions along the way, such as near the 12 Zodiac Stones, where many locals sit and chat, and there are also children climbing and playing, which is very lively.

And the excitement is a little different from the crowds near the West Lake. Maybe it’s a little more peaceful about the present.

There will be many signage along the way.

Walking in from here is the Wu Gong Temple. This path is relatively secluded and suitable for photography enthusiasts.

Osmanthus flowers in many corners of Wushan have fallen to the ground. The sun shines dappledly on the rockery rocks, giving it a unique look.

In such a mountainous place, you can often meet a bird relaxing alone.

I met by chance in this mountain forest, and the next second I was disturbed by the wind.

This section of the trail is right next to the main road and is not very secluded, but the white walls and black tiles set against the dense trees give you a sense of tranquility and solitude.

Sunshine all the way.

There are many ruins on the mountain, where history has been sung and the reverberation will never fade.

Autumn is really a season suitable for mountain climbing. Also suitable for walking in the mountains.

A fruit whose name is unknown.

Big tree.

The past.

Scenic spot introduction board

This is a large square with a stage. Some people are practicing sword practice, some are watching, some are drinking tea, some are playing cards, some are walking, and some are watching. In the exchange.

Unlike Guangzhou and Yangzhou, Hangzhou is famous for its morning tea. But among the mountains and rivers of Hangzhou, there are many places with tea stalls.

When I used to watch costume TV dramas, I would often see a flag with the word "tea" waving in front of me wherever the people in the world got tired. Drinking a big bowl of tea before setting out seems to have become a natural habit.

In Hangzhou, there are many places to drink tea. There are also many on Wugong Mountain, and there are more than one. So don’t worry about the price being expensive. The tea here is a three-meal-a-day meal, incorporating every aspect of the market. Many people sat on small stools drinking tea and chatting. Time seemed to stop flowing, and they were silent and silent.

Stage.

Inside and outside the play, it is life.

I like this feeling very much. Reality and illusion, what is right and what is wrong. It’s okay if you think it’s beautiful.

Osmanthus flowers fall when people are idle.

Little golden pieces were broken on the ground. The fragrance of osmanthus fills the air, announcing the arrival of this season. Above board.

Zhumen.

High walls.

"There are swings in the wall, roads outside the wall, pedestrians outside the wall, and the smiles of the beautiful women in the wall."

All kinds of past events, like the passing years.

Only when you go to a place like this can you feel that Jiangnan is alive. Jiangnan is not just about small bridges and flowing water and graceful people, nor is it just about the lifelike paintings in paintings. It has flaws, it is the dust that will collect on the white wall, it is real and makes people miss it.

A scene inside Yaowang Temple.

Introduction to Yaowang Temple.

It's quiet here. Maybe the tourists have all gone to the West Lake, to the Broken Bridge, and are busy experiencing the coolness of boating on the West Lake.

The white clouds on this day also look like a map of China.

In front of Yaowang Temple, there is a 300-year-old tree. Whether it is 300 years old or 500 years old, I forgot. In short, it will outlast me and live on for a long time.

Trails.

Little Putuo.

The branches are full of sweet-scented osmanthus.

Historical architecture.

There are such ruins in many places on the mountain. The aftertaste of history is witnessed by the years and shown to future generations.

Big trees nestled against each other.

If you are interested, you can look for it near Wushan. There is a stone with "Mountain Gate" written on it.

I wonder if the mountains, rivers, trees and flowers in this land can also feel the joy and anger of the years. Growing every year, worry-free every year. As long as there is sunshine and rain, it seems that you can live for eternity.

Such a trail is at noon at 12 o'clock. There was no one along the way, and as I walked back and forth, it seemed like the scenery was silent except for myself.

Going forward from here, you can see the Chenghuang Pavilion.

View.

Twists and turns.

The fruits on the mountain also fall to the ground.

Everything is coming to fruition. Natural principles are always simple.

A niche way to play in Hangzhou is to drink tea on Wugong Mountain and spend half a day relaxing. Maybe one day when you get older, you will suddenly think of yourself on this day.

Ordinariness is the whole taste of life.
