Love after Snow in Beijing —— Sigu Langyu Island

Yesterday was the third snow in Beijing since winter. It has been many years, and there is no such scene. It's sunny today, and the snow on the tree melts in the sun and falls like rain. Looking at the snow scene in the sun, I feel inexplicably high. It's probably related to the leader's business trip. Today is Friday. Here, I will practice my promise and talk about my 5-day tour of Gulangyu Island in Xiamen for readers.

I was really tangled before I decided to go to Xiamen. I originally planned to take my husband and children to Jane Latin Bay in Malaysia. I've been looking forward to it for a long time, but I can't go because of his work schedule. I want to go to Sichuan and Jiuzhai by myself, but if I leave my children at home, I will be strongly opposed. Finally, I had to call my parents and went to Xiamen, which is suitable for taking care of children. The cost of four people is huge, enough for me to cruise on the Nile for one day 10, but it proved worthwhile because everyone was very happy. After reading a lot of raiders in advance, I couldn't help being fascinated by that place. When I really got there, I felt-don't be infatuated with Xiamen, it's just a legend. ......

1 65438+1October1,the airport was basically paralyzed with the first heavy snow in Beijing. When we arrived at T3 at noon, many planes had not taken off after 7 am. I waited at the airport for two and a half hours, and checked the information board from time to time (there is a lot of information, and the page is very slow, with a cycle of more than ten minutes). Fortunately, our plane is United Airlines, and it flies to Singapore after Xiamen. Many inland flights in the afternoon were cancelled. There is no broadcast at the airport, and the boarding gate keeps changing, from the first floor to the second floor. There was no warning before, and suddenly he said to close the boarding gate immediately. Scared us to drag our luggage and children all the way, and you know the scale of T3. Guigui's socks were a little big that day, and I had to squat down and pull them every three steps, which almost made me collapse. I finally got on the plane and was relieved. I didn't expect to have to wait, and it was two hours. It is said that our plane was blocked by something else and there was no trailer to drag it onto the runway. When it was dark, a plane full of people were hungry. The stewardess sent out the only food that could appease everyone, hot sesame cake with ham sausage, and I don't want to eat it anymore. Four and a half hours later, we finally flew to Xiamen.

Personally, there are not many interesting places in Xiamen. The next day, we went to Nanputuo first, and the incense was called Asheng, which showed me the piety of the old lady in Fujian. There was a ceremony that day, and the temple was crowded with people, and there were baskets of flowers and various fruits offered by incense burners everywhere. Many pilgrims come from the countryside at first sight. The old ladies each carry a red non-woven bag with the words "Travel in Kang Hui" printed on it, which is filled with incense and paper. Some people can't afford to worship the Buddha in the yard, some people touch the carved wooden wall outside the temple and keep chanting, and some people help each other to squeeze into the hall to do things, hoping to bathe in the glory of the Buddha ... Compared with them, many worshippers in Beijing are more like businessmen and lack a simple loyalty. I missed a bird's eye view of Xiamen University without climbing the Five Old Peaks behind the temple. Even the legendary release pond with many turtles has not been found. I wonder if such a noisy temple is conducive to practice. Anyway, I saw a handsome young monk with a new mobile phone and kept texting. I bought the legendary Nanputuo vegetarian cake and sold it near the gate. But I didn't eat at all.

Xiamen University is just outside the gate, because tourists are not allowed to enter because of the influenza A H 1N 1. Looking at the Raiders, many people also deliberately go to the student canteen to eat and feel the romance of this famous school suitable for falling in love. I saw the most lyrical sentence about Xiamen University: the fiery phoenix flower only blooms twice a year, once for old classmates to leave and once for new classmates to ... take pictures at the door. I regret not going to Zhejiang University when I go to Hangzhou, and I regret not going to Xiamen University when I go to Xiamen ... This is the location of Hunan Satellite TV's famous disgusting TV series Meteor Shower.

Then I went to Fort Hu Lishan, and I felt good at the seaside. It was once a fortress built under the sponsorship of Westernization Movement in Guangxu period. At that time, the Qing court was already at home and abroad, but it still spent a lot of money to buy German cannons, and the main guns here are said to be the only ones in the world. At that time, it did not play any role in foreign aggression, but it came in handy when the * * * production party shelled Kinmen. There are many historical introductions, and we all lament that German cameras were so good in the Qing Dynasty, and the pictures of westernization buying cannons are still very clear. And the barracks and headquarters at that time. There are several wax figures in a dark little room in the headquarters, which say that the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, who was inspected by the garrison, vowed to keep Xiamen safe forever. With the sound clips in the movie, every wax figure will open its mouth and turn its head when talking, which scared my daughter to death.

We'll end our trip to downtown Xiamen and take a nap. Compared with other raiders, it is too loose and too slow. Some of them even went to a primary school opposite to eat oysters in a small shop. I didn't pursue that, and I didn't go to the famous seafood stall glasses that everyone sought after, because I said I would take up space early. Three restaurants recommended to me: Zeng CuO? Jiali Seafood Restaurant is located on Huanhai Road, next to Harbour City, and only a few minutes' drive from Fort Hu Lishan. Absolutely invincible sea view, the beach is under the French window of the hall, and the sea is less than three meters away from you. There is also a trestle bridge next to it, where a handsome boy shows off his figure. And their seafood is reasonable in price and delicious. You can also have afternoon tea and a glass of 39 yuan. You're welcome. There is also a sea view hall of Lujiang Hotel. Lujiang Hotel is also an old building, facing Gulangyu across the sea. This restaurant needs to be booked in advance, but I noticed that there are seats available before 6: 30. When the weather is fine, you can eat on the big terrace and watch the night scene. There are all kinds of barbecues and snacks in the evening, and you can also order seafood. I just can't stand it. How can Xiamen people eat snacks as food? There is afternoon tea at any time. The most grand is the Asian Zhuhai Fresh Restaurant on Douxi Road, which I also saw on the Raiders. The author didn't recommend too much, which was amazing. The storefront here is very big, and there are basically no tourists. The local people are in an endless stream and full of voices. All the dishes were delicious. The four of us ordered seven dishes to add some heart, including fish and shrimp, and paid for them only after eating a crooked belly 160! I fell in love with this place at once.

In the evening, I went to the famous Zhongshan Road for leisure. There is nothing unexpected here, because I heard that the peanut soup in Huangzehe is very sweet, and I gave up considering my dad's blood sugar. I looked at the road sign and found that little bitch Xiancao ― well, how to put it, if you haven't seen the Raiders, you wouldn't know to eat this, but after eating it, I found that those who wrote the Raiders can really turn decay into magic.

I booked a one-day tour of Yongding Tulou in the hotel the next day. Considering that Nanjing Tulou can only see the prospect of "four dishes and one soup", we choose to go to Yongding. Yongding Tulou is a descendant of Hakkas, and it is also found in Nanjing. These tulou were once unknown. In the 1950s, it was discovered by US military surveillance, and more than 20,000 unknown buildings were seen, which were thought to be military projects. They followed it 10 years. It was not until after Nixon's visit to China that he sent a reporter to China for an interview to see the interior of the tulou with his own eyes that he was convinced that it was a residential building. On the way, the tour guide said there were two routes. If you visit the Chengqi Building, the King of Earth Buildings, you can have a look. If you go to the prince of Tulou in the folk village, you can only watch it in the yard. The whole car chose the former. After three hours of turbulence, we arrived at Chengqi Building. The building was built in the Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 400 years, but it seems that it can live for another 200 years, which is far from the buildings that collapsed before they were built in Shanghai. It is said that hundreds of years ago, a large number of Henan people went to the deep mountains of Fujian, and this townhouse community was built for safety and reproduction, which can resist the enemy and is suitable for large families to live in. This building is completely brick-wood structure, without a screw, and the bottom is the foundation of a big stone. All the bricks are adobe. The outermost circle has four floors, the bottom is the kitchen, the second floor is the granary, and the third and fourth floors are the houses. From the first floor to the fourth floor, there is one unit and one household, and each room is about 9 square meters. The second circle inside is the bathroom of each family, and the inner circle is the reception room and the private school respectively. In the middle is the whole core area-the ancestral hall, which is dedicated to Guanyin and is also the place where family members hold weddings and funerals. This building once belonged to the Chiang family. Jiang's parents and his four sons built a tulou with 400 rooms, which can accommodate up to 800 people. There are still more than 200 people living there. The dog is very friendly, the children are playing games, some women are selling souvenirs at the door, and an old man is lying on the couch to promote that he can stay. 30 yuan has one bed and one room for two people. There are two wells in the earth building, as well as water and running water. It's just inconvenient to go to the bathroom. They also use the toilet, and the public toilet is outside. But think about it. It's similar to the hutong where I lived when I was a child. Next to it are the tulou in the Ming Dynasty and the tulou newly built in the 1960s. Wuyun Building in the Ming Dynasty, with a history of more than 600 years, was tilted in the 19 18 earthquake, and now it is full of scaffolding. It is said that the cultural relics protection unit has not figured out how to repair it. What is even more surprising is that there are still two old people living here. The local tour guide is also a Hakka woman named Cai. She is very enthusiastic and has a good sense of humor. She pointed to the photos of the round earth building and the square earth building and said, what do you think this looks like? Haha, much like the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube. A Cai's husband set up a stall opposite the tulou, and all the members of our tour group went to his house for tea, thus buying up all their rosettes and persimmons (local specialties). At that time, I lamented that having a professional at home was just different. Yongding Tulou is a very recommended and interesting place.
