National Day holidays to seven days, for travel-loving me, if you do not get around it, there is a pity. As early as over a month ago, I was in China's major Internet sites to see a lot of BBS postings looking for playmate. Is estimated that the National Day vacation this year, many people said to go to Yunnan, airline tickets in short supply, the major travel agencies apply full. After much deliberation, not Cou this lively, and not to those places where ordinary people are yearning for, or aimed at the relatively recent from Shanghai, always thinking of the future will have the opportunity to go somewhere. Adults with parents to discuss the end we decided to only two hours away from Shanghai by train to Yangzhou and Zhenjiang.
Across the Yangtze River Yangzhou and Zhenjiang, Yangzhou is a famous local beauty clouds (Hei hei), or are we the general secretary, the President's home; Zhenjiang while since ancient times as a military powerhouse, because of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei White Snake Goddess Shuimanjinshan Kanroji deeply attached to each known ah, there Zhenjiang vinegar. I have history and a little interest in classical Chinese poetry, using the National Day to see should still be appropriate.
October 2 at noon, we arrived in Yangzhou. Yangzhou City is not, not many high-rise buildings. Just arrived in Yangzhou, the first feeling is that a particularly large number of banks, take a short walk if there is a bank. Our Yangtze River Road, one called "lots" in a small restaurant to eat, where the boss looks rather like something Xie Jun's coach Ye Jiangchuan, but I also particularly admire those who will be playing chess, so I have a good impression at home restaurants doubled because it brings a clean, we immediately decided that here, as our in Yangzhou "designated dining locations."
Afternoon we take a taxi to a park (Yangzhou are running a taxi is filled with Tianjin Xiali, very cheap, six-started after the three kilometers of a 2 per kilometer). A park famous for its bamboo, bamboo leaves, surrounded by a few pieces shaped like Chinese characters, "" a character named after a garden. A door into the garden, spacious open space on a lot of kinds of bamboo, or high or low, many types Unfortunately, we are not botanists can only watch shows, but also forget to read the names. Small roadside kinds of bamboo with tall stand proud, waving in the breeze.
It is said that a garden set is based on the past four seasons. Stones with different colors and flowers, to represent the spring of fresh, verdant summer, autumn and winter of luminous purity. In fact from a garden point of view, than the Humble Administrator's Garden, Nets Garden, Lion Grove Garden, Suzhou, etc. for a garden is relative even close. But it brought about due to the kind of bamboo over shimmering feeling really constitutes its own characteristics. In particular, we go to day there is a slight drizzle, more so in front of the green seems to overflow the space around us.
From a garden out of the way on 10 minutes walk to the Shi Gongci - Shi Kefa's Memorial Hall. Is the end of the Ming Shi Kefa's Joined Ming forces generals garrisoned Yangzhou. Qing south, he refused to surrender, led the public fight against the Qing, finally died, Shiguwucun his Coronel Mesquita Shi Gongci in place for him today made a Yi Guanzhong. Yangzhou Qing occupation after the massacre on the 10th, Yangzhou city littered with corpses.
Shi Gongci inside a female staff are very warm and took the initiative to give us the deeds of Shi Kefa, it took us 91 years to see, when President Jiang Zemin, accompanied by the then North Korean leader Kim Il-sung during a visit here left an inscription. Jiang said that his youth he is said to remind pe Eulogy Shi Kefa, is Shi Kefa's deeds inspire the young Jiang Zemin embarked on a revolutionary road. But today, Shi Gongci where few tourists, the latter a result of Meiling is no one to patronize a bit bleak, it seems that the year is also filled with bloody after Xiao Sha and desolation.
The next day we took a taxi to the Slender West Lake, which is probably the most famous attractions in Yangzhou. My first impression of Yangzhou, in addition to Li Bai's "enemy of the West speech Yellow Crane Tower, the fireworks in March in Yangzhou," but that is from Du Mu's "24 Bridge moon night, where they taught Chui Xiao Yu Ren," the. Slender West Lake water is very clean, the shore Yang Liu Yiyi, is indeed a good one on the southern scenery. Slender West Lake, on the bridge a lot, there is not 24 it? I do not seem to be none. But why is it necessary to call 24 bridges, and their descendants is nowhere to be test, because we are now seen 24 bridge is not the legacy of history, but eighties was not built. See description of the bridge that the bridge length of 24 m wide and 2.4 m 2 each of 24 steps, everywhere implied 24. In fact, there have been m the ancient concept of how it is too far-fetched when the descendants of the bridge. However, the shape of the bridge is still a very good looking, high arch, like the corner to the moon.
The Slender West Lake there is still a bridge, one looked much more than 24 bridges to be visible, because it cross the Slender West Lake in the central legislation, which called the five kiosks bridge. The reason is called 5 Pavilion Bridge, the bridge built as five pavilions. Its characteristics are: five kiosks, four wings, 15 bridge opening. We say it is four-wing, because it is apart from both sides of the bridge approach, there are two relatively long piers.
Slender West Lake has an interesting mode of transportation, what is the ship, but the mode of operation, like the bus on the road. Spots you can in a small boat, which docked along the way some other small spots, you can choose to board the ship, the girl will shake you to your destination. A ship can accommodate about 12 people look. We then ship the girl on the grinder is very interesting, shaking from ship to relieve the rhythm, as in dance, but to date account is how to calculate exactly. "A hundred years of cultivation the same boat," the boat people are in good faith, and she joked, atmosphere was very harmonious. Disembark, everyone agreed to such a vessel named "Palestinian boat."
Slender West Lake, there are an Seo Park, is the private residence of General Xu Xing someone before liberation. It seems to me looked just did not find it unique, can not be compared with the Suzhou gardens. Also cursory way out.
From out of the Slender West Lake, we went straight to Daming Temple. Daming Temple is east to Japan, serving as master Jianzhen abbot of the place, but multiple Jianzhen Dongdu, are also sailed from Yangzhou in mind. It is only now seeing the Daming Temple was also built by later generations, especially as habitats next to the pagoda, but the nineties was built, using a cement, an inscription is Zhao Puchu. Habitat Lama was previously ordered by the Shandong tower to enshrine the relic of the country Revised built and later destroyed by fire.
Daming Temple where the incense is very prosperous, people are more tour. Temple has a showroom to introduce the Jianzhen Dongdu repeated the process and walking routes, you can see a master in order to spread Buddhism Jianzhen indeed paid a hard price for it. In addition, the showroom has on display Jianzhen Nara in Japan, where the temples in the resume diplomatic relations after the donated gifts.
Daming Temple next door is the hall, is Ouyang Xiu in his later years living and banquet guests place. Attributable to the construction in the mountains, looked out and the mountains with high, so it is called the hall. Now the hall can be tea, many people, and then a banquet Ouyang Xiu may also be comparable to the momentum. The hall, there are a group of photos is Qionghua photos, Emperor in order to watch Qionghua not hesitate to run out of people's strength and the treasury to build a canal to become the fuse subjugation. But from the pictures, it seems Qionghua Although the United States, does not seem enough to the point where her subjugation. And we later in the Daming Temple, the hall was found that the hills with a lot of office Qionghua, but the season does not just withered withered.
The hall next to a West Park, said park is not really gardening, but also a slope, but there may be hidden in a good few of Kangxi and Qianlong emperors of the imperial brush Beituo 2 yo. Interestingly, there's a "the world fifth spring," is more interesting is that there are two different positions, are inscribed on the stone, "the world fifth spring," Fortunately, only a fifth spring bar, if it is contending for first spring, septum was so close, have to fight not bar.
In the West garden, there is a crane mound. Was originally the last century, the Daming Temple's abbot adopted a pair of crane. Later, the female crane dying male crane moaning all day long, and soon died of a hunger strike. Abbot moved to its situation, the two crane buried together, said: earth person who mercilessly, it is not such a bird.
On the third day we left, cross the river to the Zhenjiang, Yangzhou. Of course, first to see the most famous of the Jinshan Temple.
Jinshan Temple built on mountains, at every level but, from the foot of the mountain looked very spectacular. In the Jinshan Temple we have encountered traveling up the flow of people. Heavenly King Hall and Main Hall are all very wang incense. Main Hall here seem to be quite spectacular, very ancient temple of the style of the millennium.
To be able to overlook what Zhenjiang, I decided to look at Jinshan Temple of Cishou climbing tower. Tickets go you'll regret it later - and waiting in line to the ranks of meandering on the tower enough to have 20 meters long. However, both to the security of, I am still with the team, and slowly climbed the tower. Visited by a very narrow staircase, light is not very full, up and down the stairs from one that everyone can sidle off. I would not help think about the "Journey to the West" in the plot of Tang Seng swept tower to, if I climb this tower is now empty, but also late at night, but in any case I did not dare come. Not to mention the monsters, and even drilled a mouse, it scared me enough to bar rolling down the stairs. And I think this tower, if long-term no one, inevitably there is no monster to settle down, Hehe.
Boarded the top of the tower, overlooking the Zhenjiang, but do not see anything, only have one piece of paddy fields, but added Jinshan Temple can basically see the whole picture. Down from the tower and sea will go through a hole, unfortunately closed the door. Fahai presented here can be no longer our impression that dismantled Xu Xian and the White Snake bad monk, and the history of the French ocean is a great concentration, self-cultivation, and on their own alms to revitalize the monks of the Jinshan Temple.
Jinshan sihou Hill has a "Bailong Dong", said there was a constrictor entrenched hole hence the name. Folklore from this hole can pass to the West Lake, Hangzhou. I have not been to Hangzhou, Hangzhou West Lake is said to have a hole that says you can pass to the Zhenjiang Jinshan, I do not know is not true. If this is true, it really was regarded as a tacit agreement with the.
Jinshan Temple is done Foyin abbot place, Foyin is Su's friends. School had studied a text called the "nuclear boat in mind," described in a Peach on a boat carved of Su, Foyin and Huang Ting-jian, saying that the nuclear boat may be small, but lifelike characters. I am also from this text the first time that the Foyin. From the map view, Jinshan Temple should have Foyin house, but I do not see.
Another monument is the Mount Beigu Zhenjiang. Mount Beigu on Kanroji is a three time Sun Quan and Liu Bei, Zhou Yu In order to buckle in Soochow, with total pretending to take Sun Quan's younger sister married to Liu Bei, Liu Bei please come to deeply attached to each place. Kanroji very small, there is no incense, several halls are descendants made Liu Bei, Sun Mrs. Laotai Jun, Sun Quan, who's statue on the inside, looks like a little giggly. But in the Mount Beigu indeed can be more clearly than in Jinshan to see the broad Yangtze River. Mount Beigu on top of the North-solid booths can be seen far away, standing on top of the hill is not high, but it does have a little pointing Jiangshan taste. Here, the words were passed down through the ages Xin Qi-ji wrote the masterpiece "Yong Yule solid Jingkou North Pavilion nostalgia" and now want to come, "through the ages Jiangshan, heroes fruitless searching, Sun Zhongmou Department. Of music and dance pavilion, Merry always be, the rain and wind blown away. sun Cao Shu, ordinary lanes, humanitarian send slaves lived. Looking back, armored cavalry, air swallowing thousands of miles, such as tigers, "the phrase is indeed tragic.
Mount Beigu's management is probably determined to treat this place into a three story stage, the mountains can be seen everywhere on the road the statue of the three characters and plot. However, not all of these stories are solid it in the North? Should not completely bar. Taoyuan three sworn brothers, Liu Bei Sangumaolu I would like to definitely not take place in Zhenjiang. But walking on the mountain road, Mount Beigu does appear to have an "eternal bound to suffer" taste.
We went to the last stop in the middle of the river sand on the northeast corner of Zhenjiang, mte. Prior to this, I focus a little mountain can be said to not understand. Went only after Dinghui Temple here is a veritable temple of the millennium.
In addition to Dinghui Temple, the hill there was a place to live Zheng Banqiao, which hung a copy of Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy and painting, unfortunately is not true. However, small courtyards, towering trees and the environment is very quiet. Be regarded as a monument of.
However, in Jiaoshan impressed me most was that it had the Forest of Stone Tablets. Here, from the Tang to the Qing treasure thousands of Beituo. Looked at those heavy boulders, and the monument on the sparse and ambiguous writing seems to be able to tunnel through space and time, thousands of years seem to have deposited in the square in a heavy stone. In order to protect these Beituo, Forest of Stone Tablets where not allowed to take photographs. In fact, inside, and no staff, but everyone in these solemn silent in front of the monument, it seems that the camera does not come up with the courage to take pictures.
Return to Shanghai, we went to visit the Shanghai Grand Theater. Monuments of visitors to watch again just like modern architecture, indeed do not have some fun. Modern architecture not as allusions to say, but also the kind of bright and brilliant indeed amazing bar. But really, want to be able to freely come here to enjoy the music or other performing arts, but needs quite a solid basis for economic strength to do yo.
