The most unforgettable thing is Hangzhou

When I mention Hangzhou, I always think of Bai Juyi's "Recalling Jiangnan".

Bai Juyi wrote thousands of poems in Hangzhou, including more than 200 poems describing the scenery of Hangzhou West Lake. After he left Jiangnan for many years in his later years, he wrote three poems, the second of which is "Jiang Nanyi remembers Hangzhou the most".

Jiang Nanyi, the most memorable is Hangzhou. Looking for laurel trees in Zhongshan Temple in the month, watching the tide on the pillow in the county pavilion. When will you revisit?

It is said that there is a paradise under Suzhou and Hangzhou. Since the last time I visited Suzhou alone, I came up with the idea of going to Hangzhou, but what really made me make up my mind to go to Hangzhou was that I suddenly received a "distress" signal from my friend.

The students who came back from studying in England, because they were not adapted to the working environment and confused about the future, struggled in a life that could not be answered continuously, and tended to be depressed, so they wanted me to accompany her for a walk, so the first thing I thought of was Hangzhou, a city with a beautiful West Lake and a vibrant city.

West Lake

Travel will change a person's life and release stress in the process of stopping and going. The most important thing in life is to relax. The trip of leaving is actually very simple.

On 1 day? Shanghai Railway Station-hangzhou east railway station-West Lake around Lake (Longxiang Bridge-Broken Bridge-Bai Causeway-Su Causeway-Leifeng Tower)-Yintai Night Scene.

The next day? Imperial Street in Southern Song Dynasty-Lingyin Temple-Feilai Peak

Special recommendation: Hangzhou cuisine.

"Among the 36 West Lakes in the world, Hangzhou is the best."

West Lake has been the soul of Hangzhou since ancient times, and its beauty is diverse. Peach willows on the banks of Jiangsu and Belarus in the breeze and lotus flowers in the summer sky have infiltrated countless poems and songs.

On rainy days, it takes only 1 hour to get from Shanghai Station to hangzhou east railway station, take the subway 1 line to Longxiangqiao Station, and walk 400 meters from the station to West Lake.

We visited the West Lake counterclockwise from Longxiangqiao Road subway station.

The West Lake in the rain has a unique Jiangnan style.

When the bridge is broken, the weather will gradually clear up, and you can enjoy the different customs of the West Lake in one day.

When my friend asked me, "Why is it called broken bridge?"

This broken bridge was built in the Tang Dynasty. One theory is that the lonely mountain road is broken here. Another way of saying this is that Duanjia Bridge is short for Broken Bridge, which is homophonic with Broken Bridge.

The well-known story of the meeting between the White Snake and the broken bridge in Xu Xian happened here.

Speaking of Bai Causeway, formerly known as Baishadi, it starts from the broken bridge in the east and ends at the "Autumn Moon in Pinghu". In Bai Juyi's Spring Tour in Qiantang, "I love the lack of a tour in the east of the lake, and the white sand embankment is in the shadow of the green poplar", which refers to Bai Causeway.

Pinghu autumn moon, the West Lake is as calm as a mirror, the autumn moon is in the sky, and the moonlight and the lake complement each other, so it is called "Pinghu autumn moon".

Overlooking the Leifeng Tower from Su Causeway, there is a kind of indifferent, distant and ink-and-wash landscape painting-like scenery.

Now the Leifeng Tower, in order to facilitate everyone to climb and look far, has also built an elevator, which can go directly to the top floor.

At the top of Leifeng Tower, you can see the complete West Lake. Su Shi's "Chu Qing Drinking on the Lake after Rain" wrote this feeling:

"The water is bright and sunny, and the mountains are empty and rainy. West Lake is always more appropriate than West Lake. "

The top of Leifeng Tower overlooks the West Lake.

When I got used to the hustle and bustle of high-rise buildings in the city, I suddenly put myself in this beautiful scenery, which made me feel relaxed and happy. I feel that time has slowed down, the air is fresh, the breeze is comfortable and my mood is calm.

A person's journey, like to punch in the beautiful scenery, without seeing one more scenic spot, seems to have earned it. The journey of two people needs empathy. It is said that the best way to get to know a person is to travel with her, because in this process, your living habits and behaviors are fully exposed to each other.

My friends and I are both casual people. We are not in a hurry, nor do we insist on going all the way. We stopped to take pictures with a comfortable and most important attitude, until night fell, and we returned to the original starting point, Yintai business circle.

Hangzhou, which is not as bustling as other cities, has added a bit of poetry to Hangzhou because of its slow pace and innate cultural heritage. When you come here, you will unconsciously want to slow down, cross the street, see the scenery, eat delicious food and visit small shops.

Hangzhou is also one of the six ancient capitals of China, and it is the inheritance place of the Southern Song Dynasty culture, with profound cultural heritage of the Song Dynasty. It is precisely because of the Jingkang Rebellion in the Northern Song Dynasty that the Southern Song Dynasty moved its capital to Lin 'an, which drove the population to move southward and promoted the economic development in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

The Imperial Street in the Southern Song Dynasty witnessed the past, present and future of Hangzhou. It is a representative of the ruins of the Southern Song Dynasty and a famous historical and cultural block in Hangzhou. The Imperial Street in the Southern Song Dynasty is located in the main city of Hangzhou, with Zhongshan Road as the main line, starting from the Drum Tower in the south and extending to the North Ring Road.

Shili Yujie, a century-old style.

The weekend we went, there were not many people in the street, and the atmosphere around us was quiet and peaceful. I'm afraid people don't want to break this rare comfort. This street doesn't go all the way to the end. A few steps forward, you can see several small streets extending to both sides like branches, but they always come back.

Lingyin Temple

To come to Hangzhou, in addition to the West Lake, you must go to Lingyin Temple.

Lingyin Temple is in Feilaifeng Scenic Area. When I came to the temple, I saw the plaque and remembered the poems I had recited before, and I had some expectations in my heart.

"Feilaifeng Chihiro Pagoda, I heard that crowing is on the rise. Not afraid of clouds covering your eyes, you are at the highest level. "

The huge statue has been weathered and covered with traces of years, but its image is still clear and recognizable, with a sense of history.

Walking in the quiet mountain forest and listening to the sound of the flowing stream, the whole person can calm down from the impetuous state, get rid of the tired state in the communication with nature and find the pleasure of traveling.

Many people only care about rushing forward in life, but don't pay attention to the stopped scenery. On the way down the mountain, they saw a road sign that said, "Being indifferent and calm is the true meaning of life". In Jiangnan, which is full of cultural heritage and poetry, there is really only one idea: "Everything can be thrown away, I just want to enjoy the inner peace at this moment".

Since I have come to Hangzhou, I would like to recommend a delicious Hangzhou dish to everyone.

When we first arrived in Hangzhou, we couldn't wait to choose the most classic Zhejiang restaurant and order several online celebrity dishes. We thought it was just delicious, but it was really crispy and we wanted more.

We always talk about "the meaning of travel", but for me, the meaning of travel is not how many places I have been and how many beautiful scenery I have seen, but what kind of experience I have had, what kind of fun I have gained, or what crazy things I have done with my friends and what kind of time I have spent together.

Just like Goethe's explanation of travel:

People love to travel, not to reach their destination, but to enjoy all kinds of fun during the journey.

When we are in prison and crushed by the weight of life, go out for a walk. After all, the most important thing in life is to relax. We can do many things that others don't like but we like very much. We can also do things that others want or can't think of.

Doing what you want to do and being who you want to be is probably the meaning of finding yourself on the journey.

Ordinary people will eventually return to the ordinary world, but even so, it is the most touching significance to talk to your heart during the journey and find the extraordinary in the ordinary life.
