"Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, you can see Nanshan leisurely." Tao Yuanming's extraordinary artistic conception, which is far away from the secular world and enjoys himself, endows chrysanthemum with a layer of fairy spirit.

The people will always be the source of art. Long before Pu Songling set up a tea stall to listen to stories, Feng Menglong had opened a Taibai Heritage Tavern in Guanqian Street, stipulating that every time diners sang or wrote a folk song, Feng Menglong would write it on the wall of the tavern and enjoy a pot of wine for free.

Folk songs are also written. Hundreds of years later, Feng Menglong village built a folk song pub according to this allusion, which continued its cultural roots in another form.

Folk pub is a special restaurant, where you can hear the original Wu folk songs and taste the authentic Jiangnan peasant food and wine. There is a pool of "rain cover" on the side, and bamboo is planted outside the wall, all the way gracefully to the lobby of the pub.

The folk pub has two floors, and the lobby on the first floor is all wooden tables and chairs with primary colors, with trendy art lights, which is particularly clean. Just like the ancient romantic wit drinking, he splashed ink on the white wall of this pub. Authentic Jiangnan folk songs, such as Farewell Lang, Buttons and Jasmine Flowers, are printed on the walls of the hall. From the stairs to the second floor, there are five boxes, namely "bosom friend", "San Xiao", "meet", "Yuanyang" and "Phoenix", each with its own characteristics. On the occasion of the official opening of the folk song pub, the "Menglong Clean Cuisine" was specially introduced: Qinglian Old Goose, Menglong Qin Xiang Sliced Meat and Brown Sugar Ciba, which diners can enjoy to their heart's content.

stage

There is also a stage at the end of the landscape corridor on the north side of the pub, which is a good place for network celebrities to punch in. "Old dreams are on the stage, new music is in the bamboo gallery", a landscape of hydrophilic platform along the river is designed with bamboo, which is very eye-catching. It can not only be a stage for performances, but also allow villagers to sit around and chat. After a full meal, you might as well sit here with your family and friends, blowing the lake wind, taking pictures and punching in, and being punctual.

"When you are tired, you will be silent, and there will be a chat in the bowl." After dinner in the folk song bar, you can walk a few steps to Xiaoguang Building. The family sat together for a nap, drank a pot of fragrant tea and listened to the story of the past in the vast fields of Feng Menglong Village.

After a short rest, walk on the country road, walk to the dock of Liangdang Port and start a "water trip". Stepping on the rickety boat, in the rumble, it seems to travel back to the time when the boat replaced the car.

Wild ducks swim freely in the lake, reed winds blow like waves, lotus flowers wither, and lotus leaves are particularly prosperous. Along the way, Du Shiniang's angry treasure chest, the legend of Matoubang, the separation of pears, the meeting of Xu Xianbai Niang, canvas waterwheels and other landscapes are dotted ... This is what a water town should look like.

Feng Menglong's novel "Selling Oil Lang monopolizes Flowers" was once a household story. Based on this, the oil mill also restored the traditional oil-pressing skills, and recreated the novel scene here. Smelling the fragrance of pure rapeseed oil and experiencing the ancient oil extraction, my thoughts were suddenly hooked to the past. ...
