Self-driving in southern Zhejiang

Enrich your life.

I often wonder why I am so keen on writing raiders, perhaps because of my forgetful memory. If you don't arrange every trip, you will be covered by new travel memories every two months. Fortunately, my strategy can not only preserve my memory, but also give some advice to my fellow travelers, which is enough.

Starting from Qingtian, the legendary hometown of overseas Chinese

Route: Shanghai Qingtian Xiaqian Lake Eco-tourism Resort

Taking Qingtian as the starting point of the trip was purely accidental, because the original destination was affected by the epidemic and the self-driving route was temporarily adjusted.

Qingtian is strange to most people. If you hear that it is likely to be Qingtian Jade, you will find that Qingtian has been crowned with many prominent titles, such as the most European county, the country's first house price county, the country's top ten financial counties, the first foreign exchange county, the first per capita deposit county and so on. There is even an article describing it as "the only county in China that can use the euro".

It's nearly noon to arrive in Qingtian by a two-hour high-speed train from Shanghai. We rented a self-driving car in the garage of the county, and then started our trip. The first thing is to solve our lunch.

This restaurant named Kaka Itakake is located on the ground floor of a time-sensitive residential building, and it is full of literary temperament after transformation. The price of the food is not expensive, and the weight is small, because the food tastes good, and the atmosphere is just right, plus delicious food.

When you start exploring the city after dinner, you will find that the lifestyle here is really westernized, and cafes and western restaurants are almost tens of meters, which is related to hundreds of thousands of local overseas Chinese groups.

If you ask me if Qingtian is very European? I'm telling you, it's one of those foreign counties. Don't be fooled by irresponsible marketing figures. Just use a few pictures of sculptures in the park to render them into a European town. Look at that article.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Qianxia Lake Eco-tourism Resort that night. Need to remind everyone that dinner is recommended in Qingtian, because there are no restaurants to choose from in the scenic spot. If you want something to eat after check-in, the hotel can only provide instant noodles and soft drinks.

Super rich day.

The next day's trip is also the essence of go on road trip, where you can enjoy both the natural landscape and the humanistic customs.

In the morning, I visited the Xiaqian Lake landscape next to the hotel. The correct way to open the whole scenic spot is to take a cruise into the reservoir area, and we chose go on road trip along the lake to stop and go in the lake area.

On the way to Zhengkengtai, the second stop, I met two ancient villages. One is Li Ling Village, and the other is Wubao Village.

It is said that Li Ling Village has a history of more than 500 years and looks like an idyllic mountain village. Although it is difficult to capture the traces of history from the present situation, if you look around carefully, you will find some shadows of the years on the old trees and bridges on the roadside.

If I may recommend it, Wubao Village is a place where you can spend some time stopping and going. This is a relatively primitive she village in Jingning, where ancient pavilions and buildings can be seen everywhere. Below these buildings are terraced fields, which completely preserve the original ecological life of the She nationality.

Because I didn't do my homework here before I went, it's a good choice to bring some refreshments and have a rest in the small pavilion at the head of the village. Unfortunately, a sudden heavy rain didn't leave me more photos, so I had a chance to make up for it.

Wubao village goes up the mountain along the highway 10 minute's drive is Zhengkeng Terrace Scenic Area. There are terraces in more than one place in southern Zhejiang. I chose to go to Zhengkeng because of the new development and because there are few people, so I want to have a taste.

Entering the scenic spot, you will be shocked by a huge ladder. The long ladder arm sticks out of the air, and I still feel a little scared when I step forward. Zhengkeng terrace landscape is characterized by the combination of villages, forests and terraces, showing different degrees of green, which will turn into obvious yellow-green tone when rice fields mature in early autumn.

When I was young, I didn't know Zhejiang, and I always thought that Zhejiang would never be a big province of tourism resources. After going back and forth several times in the past 20 years, I found that the tourism resources are really rich, and one of the most important signs is the covered bridge.

The next stop to leave the terraced fields is to visit Yonghe Bridge, Anren Town, Longquan City. The bridge has been seen in many pictures and texts before, but its geographical location makes it difficult for travelers to come alone for it. This self-driving just included it in the itinerary and realized my wish to see it with my own eyes.

Yonghe Bridge was founded in the Ming Dynasty, destroyed by fire during the reign of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty, and has been rebuilt to this day. I especially like the extension line of this covered bridge, which is125m long. I also like the raised cornices at the bridge head. Walking in the complicated overlapping wooden structure, the beauty of the years is very intoxicating.

Residents on both sides of the bridge still walk across. Towards evening, people sat on the bridge, laughing and laughing. The sense of freedom in small town life makes people linger. Walking on the river bank, old houses, temples and water conservancy projects built by the ancients have become the best parts of my memory.

I came to Longquan overnight and stayed at B&B, a boutique in Fan Ji by the river. Generally speaking, B&B is average and its cost performance is average. If you come, you can try to choose Longquan Hermit Hotel.

Some declining celadon towns

Route: Longquan (the hometown of celadon in China) Qingtian (lunch)

The last day's trip was relatively easy. After breakfast, my friends and I visited China Celadon City.

The town is a bit like a cultural and creative park and a bit like a porcelain museum. You can get a general understanding of the history of Longquan celadon by visiting a circle. During the whole holiday, there were few tourists in the town, and there was no guidance from the staff. Exhibitions and exhibition areas are also superficial. Obviously, the culture, art and business atmosphere here are not in place. Compared with the booming Jingdezhen, the distance is not a little bit. I'm sorry about the tickets to 50 yuan.

However, a friend recommended the former site of the Bamboo Architecture Biennale, which is half an hour's drive from here. It is said that there are some good bamboo works and ceramic studios there, and you can visit them if your travel time permits.

Leave celadon town and return to Qingtian. In the afternoon, I ate a delicious local dish in Wuji Baijia private kitchen in Qingtian, announcing the end of this trip. To my surprise, the food in this restaurant not only tastes good, but also sells well and is worth eating.

Stepping on the high-speed train and driving out of Qingtian, the brilliant sunset in the distance told me that the next trip was about to begin.
