Foreword: The article was written in 2015. It is still unforgettable about memory.
When I recall the south of the Yangtze River, Hangzhou is the most memorable.
If we talk about our fate with Hangzhou, we should trace it back to when we were young and watched "The Legend of White Snake" starring Zhao Yazhi and Ye Tong. West Lake, broken bridges, oil-paper umbrellas, love between beauties... When the melody of "A Thousand Years of Waiting" rings in your ears, and when the beautiful scenery of West Lake passes before your eyes, your love for Hangzhou bursts out. "There is heaven above, and there are Suzhou and Hangzhou below." The ancients have long praised the beauty of Hangzhou in poems, and the West Lake is a bright pearl dotting the city of Hangzhou, infinitely bright. "If you want to compare the West Lake to the West, light makeup and heavy makeup are always suitable." The beauty of the West Lake is unparalleled, just like a beautiful woman walking out of a painting, charming the country and the city, and unrivaled in elegance.
Half city is landscape, half city is lake, Yanliu Gallery, beautiful lake color, Jiangnan’s talent and heritage are also beautiful in Hangzhou. The former residences of famous people, poets and painters are hidden in such beautiful landscapes. They are hidden and hidden, but they are full of talents and talents, and are the stories of generations.
Jiangnan is a place of talent, and the city of Hangzhou combines beauty and talent, just like a talented beauty, which makes people pity her.
Since childhood, Jiangnan has taken root in my heart, and Hangzhou has become the best choice for visiting Jiangnan. During the college entrance examination, my dream was to attend Zhejiang University, but I flew to the farthest south of the country. When I was taking the postgraduate entrance examination, my dream was still Zhejiang University, but I was defeated by love and headed north. The promises once made only passed by again and again in the end.
The ten-year agreement finally came true this year. I don’t want to keep it for a long time, I just want to fulfill my previous dream and let a relationship have some understanding.
During the National Day holiday, start your dream!
The hotel I booked online is right on the bank of West Lake, and the beautiful West Lake is right outside my door. National Day is the peak tourist season, and the West Lake is crowded with people. After packing up, I couldn't wait to go out and went to Leifeng Pagoda at sunset, a place with beautiful legends. I didn’t choose to go in because there were so many people, but the beautiful sunset at Leifeng was really stunning. A touch of the setting sun, a tower, and a legend. Is the White Snake who was once imprisoned here still so beautiful?
When the lanterns come on, you are never far away. A night tour of the West Lake is also a different kind of feeling. The breeze blows on my face, the night is as cool as water, I walk alone by the lake, look at the dense moonlight on the top of Lei Feng Tower, take my time, empty my head, think about nothing, indulge in the love in my own time. In the long-lasting beauty of West Lake, maybe all your worries can be forgotten!
Coming to Hangzhou seems to be a date with the West Lake. I got up early the next day, there were not many people around, and I finally saw a quiet and beautiful West Lake, clear and demure, with sparkling waves. The camera in my hand keeps taking pictures, but it seems that it cannot record all the beautiful scenery. A person walks slowly, watching and recording while walking, letting his eyes travel and feeling with his heart. Such beautiful scenery should be projected in the bottom of his heart.
At ninety o'clock, there were more and more people, tour groups were coming in an endless stream, loudspeakers were making noise one after another, the long Su Causeway was already very busy, and the quiet and beautiful West Lake disappeared in an instant. . I didn’t deliberately search for the ten scenic spots of the West Lake, I just walked as I pleased, rested when I was tired, and continued walking when I had the strength. The best feeling when traveling alone is freedom!
Before I knew it, I had almost visited the West Lake. Except for Three Ponds Reflecting the Moon and Leifeng Sunset, I had basically arrived at everything else. I saw the national hero Yue Fei, the revolutionary martyr Qiu Jin, and the famous Jiangnan prostitute Su Xiaoxiao. Too many stories have flourished in the waters of Jiangnan, and they have become immortal songs sung by future generations. Perhaps, this is also one of the attractive places in Jiangnan.
From seven o'clock in the morning to four o'clock in the afternoon, most of the day was spent in the West Lake. Because I chose to walk, in the end my feet hurt so much that I couldn't walk, so I sat on the edge of the West Lake to rest. In the most lively scene, filter out the noise and leave one person to think slowly, looking at the broken bridge in the distance. There is nothing out of the ordinary, but it completes the touching love story that has been sung for thousands of years. The West Lake is more beautiful and moving because of "The Legend of White Snake", and the West Lake is more smart and poignant because of "The Legend of White Snake".
Where there are stories, they are destined to be different.
Hangzhou was once the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. In addition to the famous West Lake in this ancient city, there are also buildings from the Southern Song Dynasty. Because of time issues, I did not choose Songcheng, but went to Imperial Street of the Southern Song Dynasty.
I knew that the Southern Song Dynasty Royal Street originated from the program "Running Man". Later, the handsome guy in the hotel also recommended this place, so even though my feet were almost disabled, I still chose to come here to have a look. At five or six o'clock in the evening, the sun was setting in the west. I rested in Wushan Square, drank Coke, and looked at the dancing crowd in the distance. I felt very quiet inside. In a strange place, even if you are alone, you will not be lonely.
The buildings in the Imperial Street of the Southern Song Dynasty are all from the Song Dynasty. When you walk in, you will feel a classical atmosphere. Various tea houses, restaurants, silk shops, medical clinics, etc. are lined up one by one. If it is during the day, the scenery here is enough to make people forget to leave. It is wonderful to take several sets of special photos. At a certain moment, it is like traveling back to the Song Dynasty and wandering in the tragic song of history. However, at night, it is crowded and bustling, the streets are bustling with vendors and shops selling things, and the tranquility during the day is completely gone.
I just don’t want to leave any regrets after walking through the crowd. Only when I walk through the crowd to the end can I have some breathing space. Looking back at the road we have traveled, I can't help but sigh, such prosperity should have been like this at that time. When history becomes dust, who can remember it?
If you come to Hangzhou next time, you will definitely choose to visit the Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Street during the day.
I plan to stay in Hangzhou for three days. Apart from the main West Lake, another place I want to visit is Zhejiang University. If this is a kind of fate, then this trip to Hangzhou can be regarded as a dream come true for myself. We passed each other so many times just to meet again.
On the morning of the third day in Hangzhou, we arrived at the Zhijiang Campus of Zhejiang University, not far from the West Lake. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the majestic Qiantang River is just across the road from Zhejiang University. Looking at the vast sea water, it is misty in the distance. The weather is bad but it does not affect my mood. Stepping into Zhejiang University, brick-red European-style buildings come into view. This old campus, which has been established for more than 100 years, is built against the mountains. The trees on the campus are lush and green, like a natural oxygen bar. It would definitely be a blessing to study here.
There are not many people on campus, so most people may not choose the school as a tourist attraction, but for those who have a campus complex, it is a different experience. The biggest feeling here is not only the natural countryside, but also the scenery and customs every step of the way. I have never seen a school so beautiful. It is so beautiful that there is no trace of it, and there is scenery everywhere. I was walking along the mountain road and taking photos. All the buildings were so moving and beautiful. When I saw someone coming here to take photos, the effect must be good.
Three days passed quickly, but they seemed very long. I didn’t go to any other places except these three. Sometimes it might be better to leave some regrets so that we can have a chance to meet again next time. We set out for Xitang at about three o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, it started to rain in the sky. It was drizzling like silk in the sky. We finally saw the misty rain in Jiangnan in our dreams. This trip was not in vain.
