In Wenzhou, more than 100 kilometers southwest of the mountains south of Zhejiang, there is a Taishun County, where rolling hills and valleys with vertical and horizontal, with the hundreds of streams lying between the various styles, such as rainbow-like arches of ancient wooden lounge bridges, Thailand Shun thus enjoy "a bridge south of Zhejiang Museum" in the world. Taishun complex mountainous terrain, making light of local conditions here, but to create residential areas, covered bridges have a relatively intact, unique features and natural charm of primitive simplicity.
Taishun the beauty of mountains and natural scenery Zhuopu has attracted a growing number of photographers from around the globe, travel enthusiasts. This year's National Day holiday, we bring the size of a line of seven photographic equipment on board the Shanghai-bound Train K833 in Wenzhou and began searching the bridge Taishun our journey.
Saw sixi sister Hongqiao, when the hardships of the road behind the whole cast
Ushiyama from Wenzhou Cangnan terminal to take the bus, and back to the lotus first car, the way was removed, we have gradually deep into the mountains. Road, from the flat, spacious and has gradually become rough and difficult. From the Lotus section of the first to sixi rugged mountain in particular, small and large stone cross in the middle of the road. Cars, in the swirling winds between the mountains, accompanied by eyeful of green into the green depths of the mountains.
The sixi when the town is already the afternoon, set good hotel, but we flew into the East River Bridge to the town point of view - China and the world's most beautiful Hongqiao. Despite the advance has been seen in many of her pictures, but when we first saw the bridge of the time, still can not help but admire, we are extremely excited. Vermillion River bridge east bridge in the new cement pingqiao side was lying quietly, system simplicity. The bridge deck surface wood elements are used, with the song on the bend, skillfully install them in the appropriate location above, it seems to be so bent. Life with the original shape, they are with the surrounding trees and all forms of life echoes. As the rare craftsmanship, as much as possible to retain the natural color, even a small amount of processing, but also from the human hands and natural ability to give people kindness. Gray tiles cornices, light the bridge to cover the body, and everyone around the bridge hands and the camera kept wandering around not wait for them to leave the bridge every angle, from the bridge to bridge, from the bridge to the local. Perhaps, after a few days there are even more beautiful bridge, but the bridge's graceful posture has been firmly embedded in my mind, this trip is true ah!
Along the river 100 meters before the line that is Kitama bridge. She and the East River Bridge, known as the "sister bridge", two bridges are "centipede" structure of the wooden bridge arcade. Kitama bridge the surrounding environment is extremely beautiful, two streams converge at the bridge, a bridge Millennium Guzhang stand, nearby homes and ancient stone paths with the red and gray tiles Kitama the body of the bridge relative to shine, achievement of a very beautiful landscape. There are elderly people sitting under the eaves bridge leisurely chat as always.
These two bridges are the most beautiful representatives of Taishun Hongqiao is said to be built by the master and apprentice duo. Taishun wooden arch bridge built houses generally corridor, thus the name "covered bridges." It not only can increase the bridge's own weight, reduce wind damage to flooding of the deck, but also to avoid the erosion of rain on the wooden structure, but also for pedestrians rest a while, the villagers without incident at the bridge can be open, chatting.
Stream in the North Bridge, not far from there sixi before the bridge, looking down from a bridge you can see a white stone-paved anchor slide step, the river water were very eager and water potential on both sides of the gap formed in a long, white waterfalls, splashed with water, sound, and we thought the next day will see the longest of the Tai-shun, "Ding Shi-water step," I do not know how it will some Xiongqi scene.
Shi Ding-step return of the water in the Snow Creek Hu house of the local food and wine tasting
To get up early, eating alongside the station in the sixi shop the shopkeeper recommended to us the characteristics of the local snacks: sweet potato flour. A bowl of sweet potatoes, hot hot pink somersault chewy, and accompanied by the exciting moment of the parsley beef and refreshing, slightly acid vinegar a little Italy, in October of the morning, eating everyone hooked. Satisfied and got on to the three-kui sixi car, we are big Longkou, and then transfer to a Shi-yang.
Shi Yang walking in the streets, the roadside a post office. Time to go out to himself and his friends used to send a postcard, but the post office here, and there were no postcards for sale. Fortunately ritta prescient, and she brought a whole box of postcards, carved up by us in a split second.
Shi-water anchor steps to recline in the Shi-xiangyangzhen Creek East Village section of flat wide flat river water. It Xiu Jian Yuqing Jiaqing years, a total length of 133 meters, a total of 233 teeth, anchorage-step written for Ling Po, each tooth is sub-level 2, a high white granite, bluestone, compared with a low, stone shapes are rather flat. Anchor-step walk is not difficult, as long as you're not too distracted, generally will not kick Caikong, into the water. Looking to stand at one end to another end of the anchor in front of a one-step form a very unique hemp stone, not far from the verdant green hills, the level very strong sense of a painting. Anchor step, the bridge's original form, in the Tai-shun it everywhere. Because the annual flow of small streams in the mountains, but the fierce mountain torrents to Shiyou exception, so fickle river bed. Anchor-step construction is not time-consuming, no trouble, but rugged durability.
Near noon, we take a Shi-kui Yang to three cars, to visit the snow Township's Hu Old House. Old House has been nearly two hundred years of history. National Day period, the old one where the young migrant workers have come home, and gathered in a chat. Coupled with the arrival of our party, the Old House 1:00 noisy silence them. Hu house in an excellent location, backing on the back, facing the open field, Snow Creek flows in front of the house, separated Creek is a high-rise overlooking Beacon Hill. Old House is house sitting north to south, three row of houses connected to a variety of wooden carved lifelike, is the ancestral teachings of Church legislation. And gray tiles built into the thick of the roof, the huge open courtyard exceptions, the ground is made of stones show various patterns. Hu house and solemn style of the gate, facing the side of the house, there is the "Mountain Hui Chuan-mei," a plaque on one side is "pro-Xiangyun day." Both sides of the rooms, are also ancient and generous style. Out by the door is a thick wall, the walls are piling up big stones into a trapezoid formed. The structure of this layer can not help but gasp in admiration for the design of their predecessors. According to house owner said that the wall is quite clever concoction of technique, and it was trying to learn this skill, but can not.
Messuages owner is hospitable, has been a lunch time, we have not learned to use rice, quickly fry a few sample dishes, but also come up with their own brew rice wine entertain us. Such a pleasant environment, the taste of food is really no longer important. After dinner we boarded the owner would also like the second floor rooms. Step on some slight loosening of the old floor, a long burst of sweet-smelling wood, tipsy feeling hazy, the seem to see the boudoir lady was gazing through a window downstairs flower lover.
Had also rushing to see the bridge, and we really want to live in the evening. Bid farewell to the masters of hospitality, we came to three-kui. That evening, the hotel in the town encounters another group of the same come to visit the bridge backpackers, people familiar with very quickly, buy peanuts and beer went to Xue house in the town's bridge, we sat on the floor under the eaves, in the covered bridges These widely God talked late into the night. Back to the hotel on the way, I feel the night air with a little cool, the night sky, the sky's the stars sparkling Shuoshuo first saw the Big Dipper.
Find the way bridge, at dusk when we arrived at Yuen Chau Middle Kingdom
Today, to catch a lot of road, can no longer be the day before, as did Benedict sat leisurely breakfast, and then bought a "rice bread" quick solve the problem. It is the outside skin is to use Rice milk ladle in a special flat-bottomed container steamed, and crystal clear. Then pack into your favorite stuffing, with beans, and a pickle, and add some spicy. Holding in his hand heavy, a lot of weight, something that taste bad.
We stopped the cars, "mo's" going to see three columns bridges and Yongqing Bridge, the way dust sky, played so loudly that the whole skeleton, scattered, poor paul and tail sitting on the end, desperately pulled the rope until the car was half way out to avoid a vehicles. 3 column bridge, a small bridge, bridgehead for the brick structure, a result supported by the three pillars under the bridge is named, and some tears and laughter. Shot of its three pillars by immediately re-jump "massage car." Yongqing Bridge, above, there is a small skylight can open to see out of the picture is very good. A time when drying rice season, roadside Tanzhe a large sheet of a large sheet of golden bamboo plaque is covered with rice. In the old trees, streams of the background under the utmost shine. I do not know which bridge is a fellow left baskets, hanging on the pole. We hurried scrambling to race on, lug pole swing pose pictured.
Back to the three-kui, we boarded the car to the Island Ridge. There, we see this trip surprised me the most of two bridges: Yuwen Bridge and three bridges. These two bridges are among the hidden in the mountains and into to spend quite some time. However, when you are in the high mountains, dense forests, streams, vertical and horizontal Department Tuyu them, the sincere from the heart of the amazing issued. Yuwen Bridge is located in a gap between two mountains, is a stylized wooden structure of Stone Arch Bridge, a total of three floors at the bottom of the bridge made by piling up stones, wood deck built by a fine. And Taishun other bridge is different is that Yuwen not use wooden bridge on both sides of the canonization, but working fine with lattice wood carving, from the side of the bridge within a bridge you can see the people play. Tree cover on both sides of the bridge there is an implicit, under the bridge is a rocky beach clean and clear water, just take a random camera angle control, are unique in a picture.
Bridge is unexpectedly met three: the walk along the mountain for half an hour, at the foot of meandering streams, accompanied by turn the top of a mountain, I suddenly saw the eyes, on the front of a delicate features and covered bridges connected to this mountain, and the Mountains Under the bridge is a more delicate and pretty streams. So far, we have seen less clear. Beauty is often hidden in the mountains, really right, this is indeed the most beautiful we have seen a bridge, one the most beautiful river. There is no modern brick house, there is no garbage, no wires, no sound noisy. Only mountains, green water, covered bridges, blue sky and dream the same scenery.
3 Bridge is not a better attitude than any other bridge, nor because it is a unique shape, but the surrounding scenery gives a unique charm of this bridge. It is quiet, the frame in the canyon between two mountains, like the outer Feihong, with the surrounding environment is so harmonized. Hua Lala stream water under the bridge before, give this piece adds a dynamic view of the quiet beauty. We are cheering, jumping for joy, photo, playing in the water, like a group of innocent children to find their own paradise of play. Here represents the purest aspect of Tai-shun, I believe that the earlier Taishun there should be more like the scenery, in the Tai-shun Hill Road curved, the river blocking the difficult journey, the bridge is undoubtedly play major roles.
From the Island Ridge, we immediately went to the county seat LUO Yang Tai-shun, where they take up the Secretary before the car, the car is not a place down the tunnel into the Red Rock, we saw a new Xianju just repair the bridge. The bridge deck is new, surprising tourists are much more road next to the truck with all the way there have been opened over eolian relatively unpleasant. Hurriedly took a few photos, and we rush to the Division located in front of old villages in Yuen Chau.
Time to reach an ancient village, almost dusk. Houses, ancestral hall and surrounded by a film straighten out the rice fields near the rain, the woods form a harmonious whole. Smoke curl hanging over the uneven scales like roof, Gumao Cang Yan, giving Taishun Township to evoke a world left behind while the hidden layer of mystery.
Back on the road, has no bus, thanks to a kindly truck driver along the road, "picked up" from us, to carry us back to Luo Yang. Just the way quite flat, it is tough to climb even pockets in the truck with a roll struggling tail, paul, and items of GG.
Encountered 12-year-old Chi-kang, with that we saw two Middle Kingdom
Luo worthy of a county, town cars come to a bustling scene. Breakfast, eat a very QQ, Shi-yang balls, is to use meat and sweet potatoes mixed with flour made out of a snack, taste great! We decided tonight Find a hotel must be engaged in only the chicken, a good look at corruption, the compensation these days Bashansheshui hard.
From Luo Yang to Shinomura, beautiful scenery along the road, cars in the mountains between the turn, one side is a towering cliff, sometimes will see a mountain stream trickling sluggishly one side is the foot of the mountain streams, rocky beach, anchorage-step looming. Such a tranquil natural landscape scenery, how can one not admire?
Wen-Xing Bridge is located in Yuxi, on both ends of the bridge are connected to the plains and hillsides, Visual Bridge, the height of the base there was a clear difference. River point of view, bridge opening is irregular quadrangle, the roof is not level. "Vicia oblique shoulder" is the most important feature Wenxing Bridge, unique! One legend said that the bridge was built by two masters, respectively, beginning from the ends of the bridge, to the central government to the intersection when it is found to be not level, and so had to because it would be wrong. There is also a text-hing, said that because the bridge is a major corner in Yuxi annual flood season approaching, the streams outside the shore of the river than the water level within the coastal high, in order to prevent the collapse of the bridge has been washed on the cause of the current case. Bridge House was three sections of the ground slope, without a foot flat, standing on the highest point west of a slope to the shore, a little steep. The east slope is a two fold, has slowed down. Intermediate Bridge House, together with the worship of the Buddha is also tilted to one side. Set up an altar incense burner, a lamp, a Qian Tong. We were there seeking a sign, say the solution down the phrase has a somewhat unreasonable.
Xu Ao at the end of an ancient village is Taishun best preserved ancient villages in one of the entrance to the village a tall tree to prove its age. Great Shupang, we have encountered is pursuing a snake playing a little boy, he looked at us curiously, and asked that we not look at the old house, and volunteered for us as guides. We are pleased to go with him, and the little boy called Chi-kang.
A gravel road through the village, two of the room to endure a one constitutes a beautiful picture of a long alley, stone house, a typical old villages in the south. There are three attached row of old one open, there had been a text out of Exams, Exams 1-wu, Wu lifts, Flemingia sword still kept in houses where. Three significant features of the yard, but that really pure and simple style is the same. Beautiful scenery and love the natural beauty of the cultural heritage, nurtured landscape Taishun's feelings, but also woven into a style where the premises Taishun ancestors. Not chopped chisel stone walls of the mountain ranges, arc put feet, rough forceful stand in large cobbled ground, so that a harmonious construction and heaven and earth. Hollow modeling exquisite flower windows, broad-minded, gurgling streams, ancient trees next to streams, all built a village with great visual impact.
Years before the old one had heard of Taishun some pebbles inside the paving is very exciting, but so far without the witness, then asked a small Chi-kang. He said that in Japan the village to walk half an hour in the past. To make this trip without leaving any regrets, we have decided to follow him out. Around noon, the sun bright, Zhi-Kang took us to walk he thought the recent field trails, just a few kilometers idly at the edge of a walk, flocks of ducks playing in the water, there are big white goose ferociously at us poor call. Zhi-Kang said that there are paddy fields in front of a horse, a tree loaded with a bag of dead cats, he was well aware of this piece of the situation let us marvel. Little guys walk fast, we have a good effort to follow.
On the road, we were surprised to see weapons hidden in the forest Sanyang bridge, there are the pillars spindle, like a ship to sail. Found a shop to the others, but the yard is basking in rice, the hostess of our purpose in coming to know, right after the 11 bamboo plaque away, let us enjoy shooting. Finished later, we helped put together with layers of bamboo and then back to the plaque in situ. In another Old House Lane, is home to more than 80-year-old wife, grandfather, after that we have come from Shanghai, smiling, said, "Shanghai people Well," asked him if he has not been to Shanghai, he said, never been . Very lovely two elderly people.
Finished way back, Zhi-Kang said a voice, "I Hao E ah", then we think the small guy to accompany us so many times, have not eaten lunch, take extreme feelings of guilt, we have a shop on the roadside Lane bought him some food. Small Zhi-Kang said that he wanted to go to Beijing has grown up, and we told him it will be easy to come to Shanghai, Shanghai, have you a lot of older brothers and sisters.
Farewell Xiao-zhi-kang, we returned to Luo Yang, looked for hotels, point of chickens and boiled fish, big if the basin of boiled fish Zhayi came, a big tub, really scared that we jump, but soon finished all of the raids, has absolutely no bearing of a gentleman and a lady. Seeing that holiday is about to end, we decided to go home the next day, reluctant to part from this piece of land.
Good-bye, and Tai-shun of the stretching mountains.
Good-bye, beautiful covered bridges of the township.
Good-bye, and hospitable people of Tai-shun.
Travel reminder:
1. Q Road in Tai-shun ask for directions, do not ask "× × Bridge" or "× × ancient villages," where the villagers mostly do not know the specific name of bridge, as long as the local asking "Wood Bridge" and the "old houses" in Where on it.
2. Eat Taishun is a mountain, the residents like to put parsley and ginger dishes inside, and often put a lot of vinegar in the cooking inside, if not used to these two things, or are not used to sour a friend, be sure to declare in advance and the owner, not to put .
3. Chartered Taishun of covered bridges, old villages despite the distribution of more scattered, but there is no chartered, because there's a lot of bus lines, routes abound. Take shuttle bus can not only save money, but also in the car and talk to local villagers.
4. Map intend to self-help is essential for a backpacker travel Taishun attractions map, rather than the traffic map. Taishun worth a lot of covered bridges and trace the map of tourist routes in more favorable arrangements. "Taishun Umayabashi net" on mail-order.
Ctrip would like to thank this article to commemorate the people's awareness of the seven of us together in this unforgettable aftertaste Taishun OK
