The day before I left, I took a bus. Get on the bus at 7:30 in the morning. Along the way, the driver's master played old songs. Listening to Andy Lau's Next Life, I suddenly returned to high school.
Teacher Wei and I went to Nanjing South Railway Station to have breakfast with King Yonghe. Pork floss rice balls and freshly ground soybean milk are very delicious.
1 hour to Hefei south, I watched Zhan Hongzhi's Travel and Reading on the way. He is probably the first person to explain the relationship between travel and reading so interestingly and thoroughly. I saw him have a thrilling mountaineering trip in Switzerland, because he mistakenly believed in the guidebook of books. However, he said that even if books point to death or disaster, he still thinks it is a rare experience. The more so, the more he should read books to resolve his ignorance and powerlessness during the trip, so as to reserve the power to fight against disasters in the next trip. This fearless view of reading is admirable.
One hour to Hefei South, and then transfer to Jixi North Station by high-speed train. I just left the station, just in time for the owner of Longchuan luggage store to meet me from Lu Xiong bus station. I didn't delay a minute, seamlessly docked and got on the bus directly.
I saw a netizen's travel notes in the hive. He mentioned this inn many times and highly recommended it. So we found the phone number of the boss's home on the Internet and booked a room in advance. The experience of these two days has proved many times that their family is not only economical and comfortable, but also extremely kind and considerate.
After taking the boss's car to the inn at noon, I packed my things in my room and went downstairs to eat. Behind the hall is the kitchen. Let's go straight to the back kitchen and watch the ingredients order. I ordered a plate of hairy tofu, bacon and bamboo shoots, braised pork and dried cress. Hairy tofu is highly recommended, and bamboo shoots are also a major feature here.
Four people got up early in the morning to catch the bus, and they were already hungry after noon. When the dish is served, the taste of hairy tofu is really special, a bit like a certain stage in the fermentation process of tofu brain. Bacon and bamboo shoots are also very fragrant, braised pork is fat but not greasy, and cress is delicious. It's so satisfying to serve a person a bowl of white rice. The food is cooked by myself, and some ingredients are also taken from my own garden. It's really delicious.
The purpose of our trip is the ancient road between Huizhou and Hangzhou, and it is only a transitional rest here. Longchuan is a famous village in Jixi, which has produced many historical celebrities. Longchuan Water Street still retains the original Huizhou style.
After five minutes' walk after dinner, I saw a wooden arch bridge named Shangguan Bridge, which is the entrance to Shuicun. Built by the river, there is a bridge within a few steps. There are stone bridges and wooden bridges, some are obviously newly built, and some look mottled and old. There is nothing novel in the street, except toys, jewelry and other gadgets in all tourist attractions, as well as various specialties in Longchuan, such as biscuits, snacks, sugar, pickles, bamboo shoots and so on.
The famous Hu ancestral hall here is a building in the family temple, which was built in the middle of Ming Dynasty. It belongs to the place where the Hu family worships their ancestors and discusses important events within the family. There are many famous people in this big family, such as Hu Zongxian, the minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty, who advocated the expansion of this ancestral temple. Mr. Hu Shi, a famous scholar and advocate of the "New Culture Movement", is also from Jixi. This place belongs to the key tourist landscape of Longchuan Village, and the tickets are expensive. We only looked up at this tall and rigorous mansion across the river.
Hu's ancestral hall is Chengxin Hall Paper Workshop, and a master is showing the paper-making technology. Huizhou Xuan paper is famous far and near, and we are also curious about this traditional craft. However, we missed the previous process and only saw the master put the molded pulp on the toaster to dry. The manufacturing flow chart of Chengxin Tang Paper is posted on the wall of the workshop. According to reports, the whole processing process has more than 100 processes. The raw materials are mainly Chinese alpine rush and sandalwood bark, which should be dried, dried, mixed fermented, beaten and dried. There is a faint smell of pulp in the room. The craft of a piece of paper is so exquisite that you can't be careless when writing.
Longchuan's famous landscape also has an old archway-Yi Shi Shangshufang, which was built in Jiajing, Ming Dynasty. The so-called game world means generation after generation. This workshop was built for Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development Khufu and Minister of War Hu Zongxian. Khufu was a scholar of Ming Chenghua (1478) and Hu Zongxian was a scholar of Ming Jiajing (1538). They are only 60 years apart, and their names are both Yi Shi.
There are not many people on the street, and almost all of them travel with groups. After a while, a group of people left leisurely, and we finished shopping in less than an hour. When I came back, I was a little confused and disappeared. It's early this afternoon!
Back at the inn, several people were playing poker in the living room, which was very noisy. Zhimin went back to his room to rest, and the three of us sat for a while, thinking about going to Longxu Mountain Scenic Area.
Baby Inn has an excellent geographical location, only five minutes away from Longxu Mountain Scenic Area. I thought it was an open scenic spot without admission. I didn't know I wanted a ticket until I walked to the entrance. Call the owner of the bag inn, and he told us that we could wait until the staff got off work.
Fortunately, this season is not far from the summer solstice, it gets dark late, and it is just right to go up the mountain in the evening. Strolling around the door for more than ten minutes, watching the staff clean up after work, the three of them walked in shamelessly. Send a message to Zhimin when you go up the mountain, and tell him that he can find us up the mountain when he wakes up.
We walked all the way, feeling the quietness in the mountains. I am grateful to the owner of the bag inn for revealing this little secret of going up the mountain after work so selflessly, and I also praised my wit. Through the cultural corridor, we came to the waterfall pavilion. The sleeping people were awake, and we were waiting for people to meet here.
There is nothing particularly wonderful about the scenery of Longxu Mountain, which is accompanied by mountains and rivers and several waterfalls. It takes about an hour to reach the top of the mountain. The mountains are rolling in the distance, the sun is setting, and the air is so fresh. The most rare thing is this rare quiet and comfortable climate, as if the whole mountain is ours. Walking down a circle, without fatigue, can be described as physical and mental pleasure, which can be regarded as a warm-up exercise for tomorrow's trip to the ancient road of Huizhou and Hangzhou.
I ordered Hu Shi's yipin pot, meatball soup and spinach for dinner, which was much more restrained than lunch.
After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms early to recharge their batteries and prepare to go to Huizhou and Hangzhou.
April 23rd is World Reading Day, which is a great event in our industry. However, after working for several years, I am afraid of this festival. A large number of people who can't read two books a year get together to celebrate World Reading Day. Or a group of people who don't read at all are instructing everyone how to read.
In short, after the popularity of "reading for all", all kinds of chaos appeared. Personally, I think that if you want to study, you should read quietly. If you don't want to study, you should not be forced, because one day you will suffer from lack of knowledge and want to pick up the book without being persuaded by others.
Therefore, today's trip to the ancient Huizhou-Hangzhou Road is also a practice of Mr. Xu's concept of "reading thousands of books and traveling Wan Li Road". I would like to pay tribute to Boss Xu, and thank you for letting me see the beauty of reading.
Get up early, everyone has a bowl of dried bamboo shoots to cover the noodles, and I can't wait to eat the bowl upside down. The taste is not so special, just being in a farmhouse and meeting a kind and enthusiastic shopkeeper, this meal and soup are authentic and delicious.
The air in the morning is fresh and comfortable, and the rape flowers in front of the door have already withered. Garlic seedlings, humble abode, peas, lettuce and other vegetables are watery and green, which reminds me of the village where I have lived for more than 20 years. In those years, I hardly felt the beauty of my hometown, nor did I cherish the beauty of the countryside. But now every time I think about it, my heart is full of regrets. Chen Xiaoqing said that his taste buds always point in the direction of his hometown, which has profound meaning and great feeling.
Mr. Wei made an appointment with an unreliable car and didn't wait for the appointed time. So, the kind innkeeper personally drove us to the gate of Huihang. Before leaving, he gave us eight white steamed buns to satisfy our hunger. I sincerely thank the couple at the Baby Inn. Their kindness, enthusiasm and thoughtfulness, like the spring breeze, increased the motivation and energy of this trip.
According to Baidu Encyclopedia, Huizhou-Hangzhou Ancient Road is located in Fuling Town, Jixi County, Anhui Province. The ancient road was built in the Tang Dynasty with a history of 1000 years. It is the third famous ancient road in China after the Silk Road and the Tea-Horse Road. The ancient road between Huizhou and Hangzhou is an important channel for trade exchanges between ancient Huizhou merchants and Zhejiang businessmen. The best preserved is the Panshan Trail in Jixi County, with a total length of about 16 km, and streams and waterfalls in the canyon mountains can be seen along the way. There are not only steep mountains, but also soft grasslands. On the way, there are natural and quaint landscapes such as carp yue longmen and windbreak rocks.
Our trip starts from the first pass in the south of the Yangtze River in Jixi section, passes through Shichating Pavilion, Huangmaopei Village, Tang Xue, Shangxuetang and Lantian 'ao, and reaches Yonglai Village for 20 kilometers. Before this, I have seen many raiders, and the average tourist needs 5-6 hours. This is an entry-level hiking route, which should be no problem for us.
At the entrance of the first pass in the south of the Yangtze River, there is a stone tablet engraved with a sentence of Wang Guozhen's love for life on both sides. "Since I have chosen a distant place, I only care about difficulties and hardships." . This was given to the ancient road of Huihang by Mr. Wang Guozhen on 20 10.
My friend and I asked for a one-yuan bamboo pole as a trekking pole at the door, which gave us a sense of sight as beggars.
Officially, from the first pass in Jiangnan to Shicha Pavilion, there are short uphill steps, crossing Panshan Highway, and it is not tiring to walk. The first pass in the south of the Yangtze River was named "the first pass in the south of the Yangtze River" because Hu Zongxian, a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty, considered it the most dangerous place in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. One side of the road is against the mountain, and the other side is a cliff. You can see the winding path leading to Xiaoyao Valley and the gurgling water in the canyon on the other side.
After the tea pavilion, it is very easy to go to Huangmaopei Village, and there is almost no laborious uphill road, mostly stone roads. Zhimin's classmates walked in front of us all the way, watching him trot or walk fast, repeatedly sighing that it's good to be young, and he can eat, sleep and run. The three of us walked and talked, and it was easy all the way. Along the way, tourists came and went in an endless stream, including many from Zhejiang.
When I arrived in Huangmaopei, I saw the notice saying that there was still a way ahead. I suggest you cross the wooden bridge and take another path, which can save 20 minutes. It was only a wooden bridge several meters long, but I still got up the courage to cross it. At the foot is the sound of running water, the water is not deep and the bridge is not high from the stream. It's just a hollow wooden bridge, and you feel afraid of heights when you step on it. As soon as you step on it, you feel weak and can't move. That's probably how it feels. However, as soon as I stepped on it, there was no way out, and there was a big wave of people waiting behind me. I still endured the fear and moved over bit by bit.
Keep walking and reach the Xiaoyao Donkey Library in the school at one breath. There is a small waterfall here. Let's have a rest, feel the coolness of the spring, and then move on. According to the Raiders Card displayed by the donkey friends here, there is a very difficult uphill road from here to Lantian 'ao, but it is also a part of the almost primitive ancient road.
Prepare for the most difficult challenge. From Tang Xue to school, there is a wooden step, actually only a few steps. Climb with all your strength. After this time, the hardest part came. This is an uphill slope that seems endless. We walked for a while, cheering each other up and feeling fine. Zhimin is still in the lead. He will wait for us in the shady place every once in a while.
It took about half an hour before and after this difficult uphill climb. With the beeping of the mobile phone, I saw Zhimin's voice. I wonder if he has reached the blue sky. Sure enough, victory is ahead. We struggled to get up and were very excited to see the big word "blue sky concave" in front of us.
We have reached the top! ! !
Although this passage is abusive, I look back at the road behind me from time to time, full of sense of accomplishment and doubled my confidence. When you climb a mountain, you will deeply understand a truth. There is no road longer than feet, and there is no mountain higher than people. There seems to be no end to the road. Once you take the first step, you will see the end. When you set a goal for yourself, the process of moving forward is the process of getting closer and closer to the goal, and the end will always come.
The most difficult part of the 20-kilometer journey has been overcome, which means it will be very easy to go down the mountain. Overlooking the scenery at the foot of the mountain in the blue sky depression, the continuous mountains, winding paths and the breeze blowing on the face are really happy. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it can only be loaded into our memory. I happened to read Zhan Hongzhi's Travel and Reading in Alaska, and he described the beautiful scenery that made him reluctant to go:
Since the truth of life is like this, experience it while you are young and let the beauty last forever.
Four people went back to back up the mountain to share steamed bread. It was absolutely unexpected that white steamed bread was so delicious. In one episode, two grandmothers with Jixi local products pestered us to buy their things, such as pecans, pine nuts, Mao Feng, chrysanthemum tea and dried plums. , points in transparent bags, two or three packs about 10 yuan. They said they had come from the Obstacle Mountain Grand Canyon, and they were exhausted with so many things on their backs. It is not easy to tell their age. Several of us bought something about 30 yuan. When I got home, my mother said that the pine nuts were old and the wild chrysanthemums were scattered. In a word, things may still be good, but they are not newly picked this year. Farmers' storage is probably not good enough, and there are some signs of mildew.
Mr. Wei feels cheated and hurt, but I don't care. Maybe in their eyes, these are all good things. It's really not easy to go up and down the mountain every day, so I don't care so much.
The process of going down the mountain is much easier! Zhimin students are still leading the way, trotting all the way, and the small team behind them staggered forward. It's a gentle downhill all the way, and it's not difficult. It takes about an hour to get to the entrance of Yonglai Village.
The full name is 20KM. It took us about 5 hours. Praise yourself!
We began to struggle for the return trip. After leaving the village, there are drivers driving black cars along the road. We think it's still early, so we still want to find a cheap bus first. But we haven't arrived at the bus stop yet, so we negotiated the price with a soliciting master halfway and sent us directly to the bus stop in Changhua Town.
I don't feel too tired to walk all the time, but I'm too tired to move as soon as I get on the bus and stop. About 1 hour, arrive at Changhua Bus Station, just in time for the last bus from Changhua to Hangzhou, and arrive at Hangzhou West Railway Station in 40 minutes.
Taking a taxi from Hangzhou West Railway Station to Wulin Square subway station, the four of them decided to have a light meal together before leaving. I searched nearby for ten seconds. This brand is not available in Nanjing. Unfortunately, I met a takeaway and waited for n times for ten seconds. A bowl of hot rice noodles makes the whole person feel refreshed.
After dinner, take the subway to hangzhou east railway station, without delay for one minute, rush to the ticket gate, get on the bus, and arrive at Nanjing South Railway Station in one hour. Longchuan-Huizhou-Hangzhou Ancient Road and its party officially ended.
