Essay about Wuxi Scenic Area

Visit the former residence of Xue Fucheng

On the afternoon of February 4, my grandmother took my cousin and me to visit the former residence of Xue Fucheng.

Xue Fucheng was a famous thinker, diplomat and one of the representatives of the early bourgeois reformists in the late Qing Dynasty in my country. Xue Fucheng's former residence is located on Xueqian Street. It has a large scale of construction, covering an area of ??21,000 square meters and a construction area of ??more than 6,000 square meters. It has obvious characteristics, combining Chinese and Western elements. It consists of three axes: central, east and west. We first walked in from the central axis.

First of all, we walked into Jiangjunmen. This gate is majestic and tall, with extraordinary magnanimity. Above the door, there is a vertical plaque given by Emperor Guangxu. The words on the plaque are shining with golden light. The three words "Imperial Envoy". It means that the imperial envoys sent to England, France and Italy are compared to the residences of the envoys from the four countries. In front of the door, there is a pair of drum-holding stones that show the majesty of the wealthy family. They are engraved with auspicious patterns such as stone lions, hydrangeas, peonies, and hibiscus, which represent prosperity and wealth and are a symbol of blessing.

Then we came to the sedan chair hall. I saw the double row of columns, dividing the nine bays into three independent halls. This pair of double-row columns is very strange. The two semicircular columns are juxtaposed. From a distance, they look like a cylinder. From a close look, there is a gap several centimeters wide in the middle. Correspondingly, the stone drums under the columns, the girders on the columns, and the walking beams are all in double rows. This practice is unique in Wuxi, and no second relevant report has been found in China.

After walking out of the sedan hall, we passed the main hall, the back hall, the carousel floor and arrived at the back garden. My eyes suddenly lit up, and red silk strips were hung on the branches, showing a festive atmosphere. Crossing the rockery and walking over the stone bridge, we took photos there.

After leaving the back garden, we came to the stage on the east axis. The stage is located on a rockery, surrounded by small bridges, flowing water and trees, making it very quiet. There is a room opposite the stage with a coffee table and chairs for people to watch the show. The original intention of building the stage was to celebrate Xue Fucheng's 60th birthday. Later, because Xue Fucheng passed away at the age of 57, he did not enjoy it.

After the visit, I felt: Xue Fucheng’s former residence is really an excellent private garden

Travel Notes of Xi - Lingshan Chapter

This morning, I woke up At that time, we found that it was raining continuously, so we went to Lingshan scenic spot in the rain.

It’s strange that the rain stopped when our car arrived at the Lingshan parking lot. God was really kind. After getting off the bus, I looked up and saw a Buddha statue standing majestically in the clouds from a distance.

After buying a ticket and entering the park, you stood in a wide square. There are many big trees on both sides of the square with lush branches and colorful windmills. When the wind blows, the windmills start spinning. In the middle of the square stands a huge "Lotus Flower" surrounded by nine dragons carved from bronze. Zhang Zhehao and I were chasing around when suddenly there was a burst of music, and people around us were shouting: "Hurry, it's almost time for Kowloon to take a bath." Then the crowd rushed towards the huge "Baolian flower", and both of us also Then squeezed in. As the music sounded, the huge "Baolian flower" slowly unfolded, revealing half of a child's face. I heard from the adults next to me that this is what Buddha Sakyamuni looked like when he was born, and the nine dragons will give him a bath later. Zhang Zhehao and I wanted to see clearly, so we hurriedly got through the cracks in the crowd and got to the front. This time it was very bad. Because suddenly, the nine dragons around him sprayed nine very high water columns towards the little Buddha in the lotus. The water suddenly splashed everywhere and turned into a large mist. People around us retreated one after another. We were unable to retreat and were sprayed with water mist. Ha ha!

Due to the heavy mist, we couldn’t see clearly. The two of us couldn’t find my father and the others. Fortunately, my mother wore a red dress, which was particularly eye-catching, and we finally "joined" the adults smoothly.

After walking through the square, we came to the storage place where the replica of the palm of Lingshan Giant Buddha, known as "the best palm in the world", is stored. There are already many people around this "first palm in the world". Everyone goes over to touch the Buddha's hand. It is said that touching it will bring good luck. I looked at the introduction board standing next to it. This palm is actually 11.7 meters high, 5.5 meters wide, and weighs 13 tons. The diameter of the fingers alone is one meter long. This is truly the "first palm in the world"!

We continue to walk forward. There are countless steps in front of us. Only by climbing these steps can we transfer to the elevator to hold the Buddha's feet. I was almost exhausted from climbing before I reached the elevator. After taking the elevator to the foot of the Buddha statue, I looked up. The Buddha statue was so tall that I could barely see his face. I thought: "In the eyes of the Buddha, we are just little ants!" When "cradling the Buddha's feet", because the toenails of the Buddha were bigger than a basin, I tried my best to hug the three toes of the Buddha. It was really funny.

When we came down, everyone was exhausted, so we had to take an electric car out of the park, ending our trip to Lingshan.

One-day trip to Wuxi

I suddenly decided to go to Wuxi last night, so I got up early in the morning. My original ambitious plan to go there by bus was shattered halfway. . So renting a car to travel can be considered a luxury for the working class.

Because I could go to Wuxi, I passed by and decided to stop by West China to end my mother’s long-standing attachment to West China.

Because the driver wanted to save tolls, he took a lot of detours from West China to Wuxi. It was really a big road rather than a small road. After passing through many bumpy country roads where road construction was in progress, we finally arrived at the "Sunshine Avenue". My eyes suddenly felt bright.

When I arrived at Wuxi Liyuan Development Zone, the greenery was really comfortable and made people feel relaxed and happy. Indeed, many cities are now taking the ecological path, which is really worth promoting.

The first stop is Yuantouzhu, Taihu Lake. Looking at Taihu Lake from a distance, the misty waves are vast, and the three mountains are like turtles lying quietly on the water. "Yuantouzhu" is a peninsula lying on the shore of Taihu Lake. It got its name because the huge boulder protruding into the water looks like a turtle's head. The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and the natural scenery is so natural that it really makes people feel like they are in a fairyland. Although I have been here many times, I still feel the same every time!

It was past midday and I still hadn’t walked through the entire Taihu Fairy Island, but my mother was too tired to even hold an umbrella, and I was too hungry, so I decided to go to the Three Kingdoms City.

After passing a long road surrounded by mountains and rivers, we arrived at Water Margin City and stopped to eat, but there was no suitable restaurant. At my mother’s suggestion, we ate a bottle of eight-treasure porridge to temporarily satisfy our hunger. I barely had breakfast! When I looked in front of the ticket office, it said "Three Kingdoms City 35 Yuan Water Margin City 35 Yuan Three Kingdoms and Water Margin Two City Combined Ticket 60 Yuan". I decided to buy the combined ticket, and with the inertia of a math teacher, I quickly calculated the cost for two people. I paid 20 yuan, haha...

When I walked to the entrance of Water Margin, even the guard was wearing armor and holding a stainless steel knife, which made people feel like entering Liangshan. It’s really amazing once you walk inside, so let me introduce it:

Wuxi China Television Film and Television Base is the first film and television tourist resort in China that integrates film and television production and cultural tourism. She is located on the Yangtze River The coast of Taihu Lake in the center of the delta has two major scenic spots, Tangcheng and Water Margin of the Three Kingdoms, as well as supporting film and television production facilities. Its large-scale cultural landscape, unique natural scenery and complete film and television production functions have attracted many domestic and foreign film crews and tourists. The two major scenic spots, Tangcheng and Water Margin of the Three Kingdoms, cover an area of ??1,600 acres. They respectively reflect the splendor of the Tang Dynasty, the vigor and vigor of the Three Kingdoms, and the ingenious and gorgeous architectural attractions of the Northern Song Dynasty. There are magnificent performances such as "The Style of the Tang Dynasty", "Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu", and "Taking Gaotang Prefecture for Justice", and there are also many tourist attractions such as "Dynamic Movies", "Horse Racing", and "Ancient Warship Recreation" The project is very popular among tourists.

After visiting the "Yamen", "Purple Stone Street", "Wudalang Shaobing House" and other attractions, we were about to go to the "Tai Gong Yuan of the Song Dynasty" when we suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums. We quickly turned around and it turned out that There was a performance on Purple Stone Street. It was the scene of Wu Song returning from fighting a tiger. It was just a show. Just when we were about to move on, a little girl and a little boy came up. They were performing acrobatics or martial arts. Wow! ! This is real work! I won rounds of applause from the audience. I am the kind of person who never loses money easily after watching a show, but today was an exception.

When I walked to a place with "Xia Mansion" written on the door, I was very surprised to see the tourists inside being kicked out. But after those people were kicked out, they still refused to disperse. It was really strange! ! ! ? It turned out that they were filming a TV show inside, and I heard that they were filming the scene of "The Queen Arrives", so I stopped and waited to see Lu Liping's scene style. However, even though I saw a very difficult and repeated scene, the protagonist was still missing. Forget it, let's go, smoke bombs are being set off in front of us, there must be something to see. I continued to move forward, and sure enough, I saw a face that seemed very familiar, but I couldn't name it, and I couldn't say it in my heart or my mouth for a while. Anyway, I just felt that I had seen a TV show between him and her, so I suddenly I rushed to the front, and the filming was going on. It was the scene of the prison car robbery. I was fascinated by it, and so were the extras next to me. A steward turned around and realized that there was a modern person in the middle, and he rushed me away. From 5 meters away, I made a face at him! What a lucky day! !

After passing Yanyi Square, my mother couldn’t walk anymore. Only then did I regret buying a joint ticket for two cities so hastily! But I bought it, gritted my teeth, held my chest high, and moved on in order not to waste it.

The next step is to swallow the jujube in a hurry. After a quick look, you can see that the Three Kingdoms City basically only watched one program, "Taoyuan Marriage", and the rest were just a quick show and a formality! When we were exhausted, the driver happened to call, so we drove back. On the way, we bought some Wuxi peaches to take home, and we even had a little quarrel with them. It was really interesting!
