Yangjiao village Yangjiao village

Thank you for your hospitality. I spent the evening of May 3rd at my home in Nijmegen. Nijmegen is a typical Dutch town with few high-rise buildings. All communities are villas with a long history.

Arnold likes the gadgets we gave him very much. It's a trinket that Liu Guan and Zhang Zhuge Liang bought on Taobao when they were playing mahjong.

Originally, I wanted to brag about the popularity of the Three Kingdoms and the profound mahjong culture. I didn't expect him to be a China hand. Before meeting Wan Wan, he stayed in Chengdu for two years, and he was deeply infatuated with Sichuan cuisine and mahjong.

After dinner, Arnold took us to a nearby bar, which is the most famous beer bar in the Netherlands ~ There are hundreds of kinds of beer in the crowded room, ranging from the lowest 4 degrees to the highest 13 degrees, with different tastes, and even each wine has its own unique glass to match! Dai Xiansen felt like he was in heaven, with a dreamy face all night.

Super unique beer mug

I don't know if it's because I drank too much. The next day, we all slept very late and arrived at Yangjiao Village at noon. This village is located in the north of the Netherlands, about 5km from Steenwijk, and has the reputation of "Venice of the North" and "Venice of the Netherlands".

Although I have seen many photos before I came, I was deeply shocked by Yang Jiaocun's first sight. She satisfied all my fantasies, and I didn't even dare to speak loudly for fear of ruining the peace of this moment. Different from Barcelona's passion, Switzerland's beauty and magnificence, Paris's romance and Venice's masquerade, she painted an unforgettable fairy tale world in my heart with that touch of quiet green.

We rented a boat at the entrance of the village and sailed for the village. It's awkward to start the motor, but it's fun to drive for a while. Under the sun, through the shadow under the bridge, sitting on the boat and looking at the scenery on both sides of the river bank, there is something interesting.

Rowing in the river, enjoy this moment of leisure. There are many cruise ships in the river, and there are occasional "traffic jams" in narrow places. But everyone smiled at each other, stopped and waited, and no one spoke loudly. Even the children are quiet, as if afraid of disturbing the peace of the village.

Arnold told us the origin of the name "Yangjiao Village". Because of the rich peat resources here, a group of coal miners once settled here. Besides coal, they also dug many corners underground. After identification, these horns should be a group of wild goats living near 1 170. Therefore, they called this place Yangjiao Village, and this name has been preserved to this day.

The roof of every household is made of reeds, which has been used for at least 40 years. Warm in winter and cool in summer, rain and sun protection. Reed was once said to be a substitute for bricks and tiles that the poor could not afford, but now reed is a building material that the rich can afford, and its price is dozens of times that of bricks and tiles. The land price here has risen for a long time, so most of the residents are doctors, lawyers and other high-income occupations, which seems to be in contrast with the previous hardships.

The boat wandered away, and the beautiful courtyards on both sides of the river bank, the patchwork wooden bridges, the colorful trees and the beautiful reflections on the waterways looked just like movies. Local residents and rare tourists sit quietly in the cafe on the shore, and only the cries of wild ducks occasionally break the peace here.

Out of the village river, I came to a wide lake and bypassed the reeds.

How to describe the shock at that moment? That is, little Pi! However, the open lake, low clouds reflected on the lake, was empty, and we floated on the water in a red boat. The whole person immediately became a juvenile Pi!

The sky is getting dark, and the most beautiful light and shadow of the day gradually overflows rivers, vegetation and houses, and the golden dream on the cage is shallow. Everything is so unreal, like a dream in a fairy tale, deposited in the river and unwilling to wake up. Every household is brightly lit, and every building and window looks like a carefully designed work of art.

Under the darkness, the river slowly returned to calm, and the water reflected another world.

Walking hand in hand on the country road, watching the fairy tale world of light and shadow, looking up at the stars that are about to fall at dawn, my heart is full of happiness.

I think this is what Cinderella saw when she got on the pumpkin cart and ran to the prince's ball.

All the magical sights in front of me on this day, in retrospect, are still dreamlike and unbelievable.

What fascinates me most during the trip should be these shocking or moving moments. These moments may not be captured by photos or expressed in words. However, although time flies, my feelings are always in my heart.

On your chest.

I became a singing iris.

The breeze you breathe blows me.

In the tinkling moonlight

Use your broad palm.

Occasionally

Cover me.
