Chapter 201: Loving and hating is the three lives
The North Temple Pagoda is some distance from the Humble Administrator's Garden, but the designer cleverly used the geographical location to borrow the North Temple Pagoda into the garden, so that you can sit in the garden and enjoy the scenery of the North Temple Pagoda directly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe tour guide said that the height of all buildings in the old city of Suzhou should not exceed four floors, in order not to block the North Temple Tower, and forget it for too long.
This table seems to be put together into a round table when the host is at home, if the guest comes and finds that only half of the table is leaning against the wall, he knows that the host is not at home, and there are actually budding lotus flowers waiting to be released in this season, and the railing of this bridge seems to be printed with blessings, such as Donghai Shoubi Nanshan, which was made by a certain owner when he celebrated his mother's birthday.
Everyone went to the top to take a walk, the unique feature of this scene is the reflection, there is a post office in the Humble Administrator's Garden, you can also stamp the scenery stamp here, the postcard is also safe, the stamp is very clear, there is a Suzhou embroidery exhibition hall here, the exhibits inside are very good, the chrysanthemums in the Humble Administrator's Garden are also very beautiful.
Xueluo and Xiaoliang met a lot of tourists here and visited for more than two hours, but Xueluo felt that this trip to the Humble Administrator's Garden was still the right one, and there were many unique features. After the trip to the Humble Administrator's Garden, Xueluo and Xiao Liang went to Pingjiang Road. Pingjiang Road is a historical street in Suzhou, a small road along a river, and its river name is Pingjiang River.
Pingjiang Road Historic District is the most well-preserved area of the ancient city of Suzhou so far, which can be called the epitome of the ancient city. Compared with the "Pingjiang Map" of the Southern Song Dynasty and the "General Map of the Waterways in Suzhou City" at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Pingjiang Road basically continued the pattern of the city since the Tang and Song dynasties, and has maintained its vitality to this day.
Pingjiang Road is not far from the Humble Administrator's Garden, come out of the gate of the Humble Administrator's Garden, pass through the parking lot, and walk to the river. Although Pingjiang Road is an old street, it is now very lively, with various storefronts on both sides, selling drinks, cheongsams, and food, similar to Gulangyu.
Xueluo didn't like this feeling very much, the commercial atmosphere was too strong, but he couldn't feel the cleanliness of the original small bridge and flowing water. This is a restaurant, but Xueluo looks at the evaluation as if he didn't go to Xueluo and Xiao Liang only ate chicken feet on Pingjiang Road, this is recommended by many people, and it used to be said that there were basically long queues.
However, when Xueluo and Xiao Liang went, there were no people, and they bought it at once, but another shop that also sells chicken feet has a good business. Xueluo and Xiao Liang bought duck gizzards and chicken feet, a total of 20 yuan, the taste is okay, but it is not amazing. When I came to Pingjiang Road, in addition to seeing the old street, I also wanted to see the sky city of cats.
How can this store be so far away from the Humble Administrator's Garden, Xueluo and Xiao Liang are going to break their legs all the way over, and the fatigue of the past few days has all erupted here on Pingjiang Road, and Xiao Liang can't walk anymore, so he came to the store and quickly let Xiao Yan Xueluo sit down and rest, and Xueluo began to purchase postcards. There are a lot of things you can buy in Maokong, but the prices are not cheap.
The postcard is basically 2 yuan a piece, the tape is very good-looking, Xueluo has been hesitant to buy it, and finally felt that it was expensive and gave up. Leaving Maokong, Xueluo and Xiao Liang left Pingjiang Road from a small road on the side, at this time it was getting late, and it was a pity that Pingjiang Road at night was not photographed. In the evening, go to Guanqian Street for dinner.
Located in the center of Suzhou, Guanqian Street is the most popular shopping gathering place in Suzhou, and has always been known as "Suzhou's No. 1 Business District". This is the most time-honored shopping district in Gusu City, named after the ancient temple mysticism, with a history of more than 150 years, and has been a bustling important commercial street since ancient times.
Nowadays, the large shopping malls in the Guanqian Street business district include Metro Department Store, People's Shopping Mall, Ocean Department Store, First Department Store, etc.; the catering industry is mainly concentrated in the area of Taijian Lane; entertainment and leisure places are mainly concentrated in the area of Qiaosikong Lane; and many century-old shops with famous and high-quality characteristics such as Daoxiangcun, Qiantaixiang and Huang Tianyuan are located on the street.
At night, Guanqian Street is very lively, with various shopping malls and restaurants distributed on both sides of the street. Originally, Xueluo wanted to eat the squirrel fish of Deyuelou, but after looking at the price of the menu, the price of a fish was 188, so Xueluo and Xiao Liang still gave up going to a nearby farmhouse to eat, and the prices of restaurants in Suzhou were not cheap, and they were more expensive than those in Nanhe City.
Xueluo and Xiao Liang ordered whitebait scrambled eggs, green vegetables, corn soup, sweet and sour pork, which cost more than 160 yuan. After eating, walk back to the hotel to rest. The next day, Xueluo's itinerary was to go to Tongli Ancient Town, originally planned to go to the North Bus Station tomorrow morning to take a ride, and later saw that there was a travel agency in the hotel lobby to report a group, Xueluo felt that everyone was very tired today.
Tomorrow it will be easier to join the group, and you don't have to worry about transportation. Although I know that I will definitely be pitted with the group, but Xueluo looks at Xueluo Xiaoliang is so tired today, think about it or report the group, 150 yuan per person, the itinerary is to play in Tongli Ancient Town, there will be a shopping point, but shopping is not mandatory. After signing the contract and paying the money, record the relevant information.
I contacted tomorrow's tour guide and gathered at the hotel gate at 7:50 tomorrow morning to take a ride. After packing up the luggage early in the morning, Xueluo and Xiao Liang set off in advance to wait for the car on the road outside the hotel, and by the way, I bought some bread to eat on the road in the bakery on the side, the taste is good and the price is not expensive, it seems that the bread sold here in Jiangsu is indeed cheaper.
The car finally came at about eight o'clock, and as soon as I got in the car, I found that the car was almost full, and Xueluo and Xiao Liang had to sit in the last row. Today's tour guide Miss Xiao Li first introduced today's specific itinerary to everyone, and then charged 50 yuan per person on the way, of which 40 yuan is the meal fee, ten dishes and one soup, and a couple said that they did not pay the meal fee if they did not eat together.
10 yuan is the battery car money in the ancient town, because the bus to the ancient town can only be parked outside the ancient town, and there is a section of the bus into the town, and you have to take the battery car to go in. If you don't go to the scenic spots, you don't charge money if you only walk around the town, but if you want to go to the attractions, you can only buy a pass, and it was 100 yuan per person before checking.
The tour guide gave everyone a number plate sticker to stick on his body, and when he entered and exited the ancient town attractions, he entered and exited the group, and he was identified by the number plate. On the way, I saw Soochow University, and after crossing this river or river, I arrived at Suzhou Industrial Park, where high-rise buildings can be built. After an hour's drive, Xueluo and Xiao Liang arrived in Tongli, and the tour guide took Xue Luo and Xiao Liang to Luo Xingzhou first.
Luo Xingzhou is a small island at the entrance of Tongli Lake in the east of Tongli Town, which appears on the surface of the lake of about four square kilometers, and is famous for its smoke and rain landscape. It is named after the surrounding reeds that resemble Luo Xing. This attraction is included in the pass, you need to go to the ferry port to take a boat to get there, outside the town of Tongli, if you are traveling independently, the ticket fee is also included in the pass.
The distance is not far, less than 5 minutes, and it is about the same as going back and forth to Gulangyu. Luo Xingzhou is a collection of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism three religions in one holy land, off the boat tour guide with Xueluo and Xiao Liang along the trail, there is a place here planted a lot of trees, are here to act here stars planted, so here is also called "Star Forest".
After a brief introduction, the tour guide lady let the snow fall and the little boy visit freely, and at 10 o'clock to the ferry to gather and take the boat back. Xueluo and Xiao Liang first visited the Wenchang Palace, which seems to be dedicated to Wenqu Xing, people who go to school or need exams can worship, and if you add sesame oil money, you can also draw lots for the people on the side to unsign, Xueluo didn't get it, and I don't know if these are true or false.
There is a big clock on the top of the building, and there are a lot of ribbons hanging on it, and you can overlook the scenery when you climb upstairs. The yellow building on the side seems to be a Taoist temple, but the tour guide asked Xueluo and the little boy not to go there, I don't know why. It's quiet, there are no other tourists except for 2 tour groups, and the artistic conception is really beautiful if it rains a little.
Nearly 10 o'clock Xueluo and Xiao Liang returned to the ferry to wait for the boat, saying that there are a lot of mosquitoes near the ferry, and very large, densely attached to various railings, light poles, walls, and a group of people flying on the head, it is really terrifying to return by boat, Xueluo and Xiao Liang immediately took the battery car to the entrance of Tongli Town, and continued the journey of Xueluo and Xiao Liang.
As soon as you enter the archway, you can see a bridge, this bridge is very distinctive, the snow falls and the first attraction of the little obedient is Jiayin Hall, the path at the entrance of Jiayin Hall looks very feeling. Jiayin Hall is located at the mouth of Youjia Lane on Zhuhang Street, built in the early years of the Republic of China, there are four entrances, and the doors and windows are beautifully carved. The owner of the house, Liu Bingnan, from the north, opened an oil mill in Luxu first.
After the development, he moved to Tongli to build a house, and spent a total of 20,000 taels of silver. The eaves here are very distinctive, in fact, when traveling these days, I have seen a lot of decorations in various gardens, this door is carved with several lines of decoration, this outer circle is a bat, symbolizing the five blessings, the inner circle seems to be the meaning of money, this decoration several gardens have the paint on the railing has been repainted.
But the carvings on the railings are still very fine, and the tour guide said that accommodation in Suzhou generally starts from the 2nd floor and above, because the 1st floor is very wet. After visiting Jiayin Hall, Xueluo and Xiao Liang came to the Three Bridges Scenic Area. Because there are many bridges in Tongli, it has accumulated a rich and profound culture, which has derived a gorgeous and colorful folk customs.
Among them, "Walking the Three Bridges" is the most interesting. "Three bridges" refers to the Taiping Bridge, Guli Bridge and Changqing Bridge, which span two rivers and are close to each other and resemble a tripod and three legs. All three slate bridges are single-hole bridges. It is both small and exquisite, but also simple and elegant. Taiping Bridge and Changqing Bridge, one is a beam type, the other is an arch type, and the shape is a half-moon auspicious bridge.
Between the two bridges of Taiping and Changqing, the three bridges have granite chiseled couplets, among which the couplets on the south side of the Geely Bridge are "shallow Zhu waves and clouds, and the small bridge flows through the river village", and the couplets on the north side are "the horizontal half moon of the Geely Bridge, and the Taiping Liangzhi reflects the double rainbow", which concisely and authentically exhausts the charm of this place. The revetment between the three bridges is equipped with granite railings.
It can be used for visitors to stop and rest. If you look around the three bridges on the north bank of the Jili Bridge, the small bridge is like a rainbow lying wave, the river is clear and clean like a mirror, and the shadow of the bridge is full of poetry and picturesqueness under the shade of green trees. "Walking the Three Bridges", also known as "Walking the Road of Safety" and "Walking a Hundred Diseases", entrusts people's hopes for health and safety. The three bridges are also regarded as mascots by the local people.
If you have the opportunity to go to the ancient town of Tongli in the south of the Yangtze River, you might as well "walk the three bridges", and the beautiful prayer will accompany you: "Walk across the Taiping Bridge, be in good health all year round; walk across the Jili Bridge, work smoothly and step by step; Walk across the Changqing Bridge, youth will never grow old." "There's a cat empty here, but the snow only patted the door and didn't go in.
The appearance of the cat in Tongli looks like the next thing on Pingjiang Road is the Retreat Garden, which is quoted from Baidu below: The Retreat Garden is the most famous private garden in the ancient town of Tongli, and it is the only world cultural heritage in the ancient town of Jiangnan.
Yuan Long, the designer of the retreat garden, skillfully used less than ten acres of area to design the buildings such as sitting on the spring and looking at the moon, the piano room, the retreat thatched cottage, the red one, and the Mianyun Pavilion, which embodies the diligence and wisdom of the Han intellectuals and skilled craftsmen, and contains the philosophies, religious ideas and traditional arts of the Han nationality such as landscape poetry and painting.
This is a camphor tree, the tour guide said that the previous big families generally planted a camphor tree after giving birth to a daughter, and when the camphor tree grows and branches stick out of the wall, the matchmaker knows that the family has a lady to be in the boudoir, and they will come to inquire about the relevant situation. After visiting the retreat garden, it was close to 12 o'clock, and the tour guide took Xueluo and Xiao Liang to have a group meal.
Xueluo and Xiaoliang are all young people at this table, except for Xueluo Xiaoling, everyone is like a storm, and the lunch is solved in ten minutes, and the people at the other tables are still eating slowly. After eating, Xueluo and Xiao Liang left the table first, and went downstairs to tell Xueluo and Xiao Liang to start free time from now to 2 o'clock, haha It's delicious and fast.
Xueluo and Xiao Liang first went to the vicinity of the eating place, there is a Tongli theater here, it seems that they are all playing ink and wash clips in Tongli, and the roof of the visitor center is so interesting, there is a stone sculpture of the film and television production base in Tongli, Longguo, and most of the crews who have filmed TV series in Tongli have left a piece here.
I didn't find why Sheng Xiaomo's snow fell and Xiao obedient was ready to go to the Pearl Tower, on the way I saw a lot of people wearing ancient costumes taking pictures, I don't know if it was in the cos framing along this alley to the Pearl Tower Latong Li Pearl Tower Garden, the former residence of Chen Wangdao, who served as the imperial envoy of Nanhe City during the Wanli period of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty.
The scenic spot is composed of four major building complexes, including the Imperial History, the back garden of the Chen family, the archway of the Chen family, and the ancestral hall, which is based on the existing historical relics, and invites skilled craftsmen from all over the Yangtze River to collect the architectural masterpieces from all over the world, and restore and build them according to the original appearance. It can be seen in wood carving, stone carving, brick carving, clay sculpture, furniture furnishings, architectural architecture, etc.
All of them show the exquisite craftsmanship of the craftsmen of the Suzhou Xiangshan School and the splendid style of Wu culture, which can be called a model for modern people to inherit the traditional skills to create a Soviet-style garden. The Pearl Tower itself also has a story, the story originates from Xiangyang, Hubei, the protagonist of the story Fang Qing sees the aunt, Cui'e gives the tower, and the history of Chen Wangdao's marriage to his daughter has been passed down from generation to generation.
Therefore, this scenic spot is set up in the same place, and it is called "Pearl Tower", and only part of the remains of Chen Cui'e are now preserved in the whole scenic spot. This should be a garden, Xueluo and Xiao Liang thought they had been out of this garden when they saw this boat, and later found out that this place is really big, this seems to be the Pearl Tower, and a lot of money was thrown into it to visit the Pearl Tower.
