(A) the enthusiasm of Hangzhou
In April 2002, I and my wife, Xiao-Dan from Shanghai to Hangzhou, the scenery along the way to Suzhou last year is similar to the green wheat fields on both sides of the yellowed, Hawthorn was a dying, in the middle of lush wheat fields is even more scattered ; occasionally also seen sporadic rape, if the earlier 20 days, chances are you can see large areas of cauliflower.
More than two hours later, we arrived in Hangzhou East Railway Station, we boarded a bus to the West Lake, about half an hour later, went to the station, and down the car did not see the West Lake, we pulled out a map to carefully look for being careful look at the occasion, there is an aunt Jiugen we say: You are just arrived in it, now "Lakeside Road" is being repaired, the West Lake scenery here can not see, I suggest that you first go to jiuxi there, to " Longjing tea and asked, "then to" Sudi "Look, tomorrow and then travel the West Lake ... ....
I also thought that she was beginning to give us a tour guide it, the original is not, she was just passing from work to see that we are tourists, so give us recommend some good points, and also tell us what car ride it all the way place, patiently, carefully thoughtful, let us endless gratitude, Hangzhou, people can be really warm.
(A) asked Longjing Tea
We got off the train, thanks to Aunt guidelines, sit K514 bus direction to the Jiuxi embarked along the way to see the bus stop outside and the car-stop broadcasting, was originally through a lot of the familiar monuments do: Jingci , Sudi, Huagangguanyu, Dreaming of the Tiger Spring, Pagoda of Six Harmonies and so on. "Sudi Spring Morning" and "Huagangguanyu" is one of ten top Hangzhou has long been known; Dreaming of the Tiger Spring, Longjing tea, even if not tasted, nor heard of us; Jingci is the Song Dynasty poet, Yang Miles then bid farewell to friends woods side of the place, I believe "After all, the West Lake in June, the scenery is not the same with 4:00. then endless days Hachisuba Pi, Lotus flowers in different kind red." ancient poetry you will not be familiar with the song Come on, this Yang Wanli poem is a farewell at the Jingci woods when the party made.
Since our aim is jiuxi, these spots should wait until tomorrow look at bar.
Cars to the terminal, Xili Lek rain the next stop, in April of Hangzhou turns warm again, slightest wind blowing through the faces of the rain from time to time, is the spring to teach people to distinguish or cold.
We will move forward along the narrow mountain road, not far away, there is a puddle, lake, on a small waterfall, water gurgling Unfortunately, little water, but also deep in the jungle, little scenery to speak of. Then before the line, road more narrow, rugged fighting folding, both sides of the magnificent old trees, the trees like smoke Mi diffuse the non-smoke, non-fog Si Wu thing, is surprised by the occasion, there is a girl came to us, we wish to consult her , she said: This is the new West Lake, one of ten top - "jiuxi Yan Shu" in the rain stretching, rain when the smoke and trees, as is currently done this way, so named; you have come just in time, if the it does not rain, there is no "smoke", in the hazy charm of the woods totally.
And the girl walked to chat about, that girl is growing tea Lion Peak Mountain people, surnamed Xu, who lives in the Qianlong Road, No. 198; This is the god of Emperor Qianlong then passed under the road south, called "Long Road." Today, to commemorate this history, changed its name to the Qianlong Road, named after the emperor era name of the road may be the only one on the country ... ....
Listen to this allusion, history, and if I close a lot. Longjing tea has long been a tribute, top grade Longjing ordinary people a rare, and now villagers are still in Longjing tea growing in a living, an annual poll agree to anything to the state turned over to the couple of pounds of tea, the country's purchase price is 500 yuan / jin, the rest of their selling. Although I am not really understand them tea, but as far directed at this period of history, Longjing tea fame, but also to experience.
I also asked the girl, Longjing is divided into Lion Peak Longjing Longjing tea, and plum-dock? The girl said yes, but different characteristics of these two Longjing, Lion Peak Dragon Well tea and mountains fall, Mei-dock belonging to the ground Longjing tea, she thought that Lion Peak Longjing Longjing dock is much better than the plum. This is a fact, popular among the Longjing is divided into lions, dragons, plum Mishina, lion for the top grade, Mei is beneath contempt, but as long as Longjing into the list, beneath contempt is also a tea.
Xu girl said: They were at home there is just this year, down from a new tea, try one of the taste, if that does not like it, do not buy it does not matter. We went with the girl half hour, came to her home, greeted us to sit down, she'll get tea; two cloth bags with tea, open the fragrance of tea after Yi Gu Heart and penetrate, the girl deliberately test to us, Let us tell which bag is the pre-Qing Ming tea, which is next after the tea bag. After I repeated discussions and small-Dan agreed that the light colored, scented tea, the more clear is that they agree to anything.
Girl said: It seems that Mr. or tea person to understand, agree to anything brown green, while the Qing wei shiang; out after the tan deep and rich aroma and taste muddy. I could not even said: flattering, flattering, I do not know her or her Mongolia Mongolia me. Ha ha ha! !
The girl brought two cups, they agree to anything out of the post-bubble cup, a moment, the smell of incense; I savoring, Qingqing of tea in a slight touch of sweetness, perhaps psychological, and I feel that Dan and small and usually drink tea a big difference, the kind of smell like orchids in general, concentrated in that vulgar, faint, feel small, really just right, a cup, after you get enough. Indeed, after tea, Ming Tea agree to anything less than the slightest of sweet, price 300 yuan / jin. We have decided to buy tea, they agree to anything, even if your half, at least it is the best, so he bought some pre-Qing Ming tea, try to come back so that her father is also a tribute.
Take a look at getting late, and we thanked the girl, begins with Hsu out, the weather is still the spring rains, we will return to the town center to find a place to stay.
(B) Su Causeway Chunxiao
The next morning, ate breakfast together, we find the bus stop yesterday, came Sudi from "Huagangguanyu" has been walking towards the direction of yue fei's temple.
"Huagangguanyu" In fact, no good-looking, but the lake there are a number of chubby variety of carp, lazily feeding in wait for visitors. In the next to a stone, the inscription above the Lord has Kangxi ----- Huagangguanyu, because it is running script, so the word fish, the following four-point becomes a three-point, future generations will be here to do word games, legends Lord Emperor Kangxi in the inscriptions of the time to write less deliberately, because four points on behalf of the fire, the fish grilled on the fire into the dead fish on, only in the water the fish is alive, so it is water ... ... 3:00. Legend for this prosaic attractions added some historic flavor.
Out of the "Huagangguanyu" Lan went to lock the bridge, as is the late spring, Sudi both sides of the willows, camphor trees, peach ... ..., has grown lush, but it is a new green leaves, the tree of birds , squirrels in the branches on the bustling non-stop, completely ignored the presence of tourists, because they are the masters here.
The Sudi, of course, impossible to not think of Su, as Su Su Causeway is the year when the construction of any of Hangzhou pass sentence, and he also wrote: "Shuiguang prettily and Yan-Qing Fang is good, mountains empty Mongolia rain Yiqi . For the West than the West Lake, the total wiping thick makeup and affordable. "such a good poetry.
In ancient poetry, where a child would read: Heng Fa Chuen, spring rain, Jiangnan; small building to listen to the night rain, Shenxiang Ming Heng Fa Chuen, and so reward. What flowers do not front though, but shrouded in rain, the breeze blowing and the branches of green leaves and generally annoying birds, still make you feel the rain south of the deep spring to. Paul-suk distant towers stand in halfway up the mountain, in the light rain in the faintly visible, "the empty mountains Meng Yu is also odd," Su seems to have been put in front of scenery written with no way out, thousands of years, the West Lake scenery remains the same , still charming.
We enjoy in front of everything, walks forward, the scenery here, let me recall the past, silently read the relevant literature as well as many Jiangnan literati on you. Let me feel the deep cultural heritage here, Guangdong Pearl River Delta's economy in recent years been at the forefront, but always let me feel the absence of a certain kind of things, in fact, is the missing cultural heritage.
We knew it, Sudi has reached the end of the spring to let me linger Sudi afternoon a memorable one, as a traditional Hangzhou, one of ten top of the "Sudi Early Spring" is worthy of most of the day you have to spend time to understand, to feel.
