In Songjiang, I met "British architecture"

Thames town

In Songjiang, there is a quiet place in the prosperity, and every brick and tile reflects the British style. You can walk and chat step by step, have a fine afternoon tea with your friends, or read among literati.

The seasons change, and when one thinks about Thames Town, it is different every time. There are castles, churches, villas, fountain squares, galleries, art galleries, many corner coffee shops and small bars in the town, and the "most beautiful bookstore" clock is also located here …

Whether it is characteristic architecture, natural scenery or humanistic customs, it is too beautiful to be true. Be sure to bring enough memory!

In Songjiang, I saw the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Shanghai.

Tianmashan Garden

The Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy is famous for its "leaning but not falling" (about 3.99), but many people may not know that there is actually an ancient pagoda that is more inclined than it, that is, the tianmashan Pearl Protection Pagoda (about 7. 10). This ancient pagoda, built in the Northern Song Dynasty, has a history of nearly a thousand years, and its inclination far exceeds that of the leaning tower of Pisa, so it is called "the leaning tower of Pisa in Shanghai".

According to legend, in the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Gaozong gave the relic to be hidden in this tower, so the tower sometimes shows a treasure light, hence the name of protecting Jewel Tower. There are many legends about towers in the local area. There is an old ginkgo tree to the east of the tower. The branches of the ancient ginkgo tree are in the shape of dragon claws, facing the leaning tower in a posture of embracing the tower body.

The first leaning tower in Shanghai-Pearl-protecting Baoguang Tower. More inclined than the leaning tower of Pisa, Italy. Legend has it that the ancient ginkgo tree in the east of the pagoda was planted by Zhou Wenda, and it is the hand of the mountain god, supporting and guarding the Pearl Tower, making it last for thousands of years. In fact, why the Pearl Tower leans but doesn't fall is still a mystery.

Tianmashan Garden is the largest and highest mountain among the twelve mountains in Jiu Feng, Sheshan, with a forest area of 1354.8 mu and an altitude of 99.8 meters. The mountain is steep, the ridge line is close to the east-west direction, and the mountain shape is like a horse spreading its wings and flying. While enjoying the Pearl Tower, Zhongfeng Temple and Shangfeng Temple, the Three Kingdoms Stone Culture Memorial Park, the ancient ginkgo tree and Tongguanyin are also not to be missed.

Does the Stonehenge forest in Shanghai have the same feeling as Stonehenge in Britain? It is very emotional to ask Xiaolezi to take pictures!

△ Moon Lake Boulder Forest△

The megalithic forest consists of 26 independent giant granites. The main body of the megalithic forest is three circular stone arrays, and the four stones in the middle are as high as12m, each exceeding100t, which is equivalent to the weight of 5000 children. Walking into the interior of the Stonehenge Forest is like being in a skyscraper in Manhattan, new york.

Jushi Forest is located in Shanghai Yuehu Sculpture Park, which is a sculpture art park combining natural scenery with modern landscaping art. The design of the park takes spring, summer, autumn and winter as the main axis. Divide the coast of Yuehu Lake into waterfront areas of Four Seasons Wharf, design different styles of landscape and architectural style, and the supporting facilities present different scenery in four seasons.

In Songjiang, I saw the "First Hall of the Far East"

Xisheshan park

Sheshan Catholic Church, also known as Notre Dame of Sheshan, is located at the top of Xishe Mountain in Sheshan National Forest Park. The church was founded by French missionaries in 187 1 and completed in 1935. It was canonized as the Pontifical Temple by the Pope in 1942, and became the center of Catholic pilgrimage in the Far East, so it is called "the first temple in the Far East".

The Temple of Notre Dame de Sheshan combines various architectural styles, with its arches and tunnels in Roman style, colonnades in Greek style, spires in Gothic style, olive bell tower in Israeli style, small dome at the eastern end in Spanish style, drywall and bucket corner tiles in China style, and sulfur glazed tiles in China court style.

In addition to the above.

Songjiang also has some "foreign" buildings of ethnic minorities.

When you pass them,

You will encounter other exotic feelings inadvertently. ...
