Visit the ancient town of Xihe in Chang 'an CS75PLUS: the dream of Jiangnan water town.

Do you admit it? Many times, the relationship between people and scenery is as elusive as the relationship between lovers. Although some places are good, but after a cursory look at some photos taken with others, I always feel that without the same stimulation as dopamine, it naturally becomes a "visit here" at some time in my life. In some places, when you get closer, you feel "hitched" in your heart, hit, and indulge in it from now on.

The ancient town of Xihe gives me this feeling: unlike the Great Wall in the north, unlike the quadrangles in Shanxi, it is magnificent and historic, and unlike Jiuzhai in western Sichuan, it is exquisitely carved by nature. The "small bridge with flowing water" in Xihe River is three points of scenery and seven points of humanity. Its beauty is not absolutely amazing, but it gives people just the right nature and tranquility, and it often gives you unexpected surprises in small places that you haven't noticed.

Three views of Jiangnan water town

Xihe Ancient Town is located in Wuhu County, Wuhu City, Anhui Province. It was founded in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. The local people built dams and moved here to live. Because it is located on the west bank of Qingyi River, it is named "Xihe", which has a history of more than 600 years.

Unlike Wuzhen, Xitang, Nanxun and Zhouzhuang, the little-known Xihe River is located in the corner of Wuhu and is unknown. So, a great town stayed there quietly, and what I especially liked was its "quietness". Water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, regardless of architectural schools, Su schools or Hui schools, should take "quietness" as their own rhythm. With quietness, small bridges and flowing water, and people, all buildings will be combined into an elegant ink painting; Without silence, you can't find its inner overall charm. It is a very sad thing to visit a small town in the south of the Yangtze River in a crowded crowd.

Xihe naturally has no such sadness.

Entering the town scenic spot, starting from the archway, it is divided into two streets, namely, Zhangjiaxiang and Tudi Lane on the upper street, Xuhuilan Lane and Jiangdong Lane on the lower street, and Jiarui Lane on the inner side of the middle street. Every street is related to a story. Going in, the bluestone pavement in the center of the street twists and turns about 1200m, with uneven width, generally 2-3m. The cornices of the shops on both sides are opposite, and the windows are much lower than the center of the street.

The old house by the river has steep walls, and the green tile Shi Zhuan is very simple. It has been seen for some years, and it complements the blue sky and white clouds.

The scenic spots under the epidemic situation are even more deserted, without the noise of the past, but with unique charm. As night falls, every household is decorated with lights, and the rippling river reflects thousands of lights from beginning to end As Mr. Liang Sicheng, an architect, said, "But you forget the noise of the city." The elegance, naturalness and quietness of the Xihe River are different from the hustle and bustle of Wuzhen and Xitang, which can always make you forget the hustle and bustle of the city.

Just like the CS75PLUS we drove on this trip, among many SUVs, it has a unique charm, which is different from the toughness of German and the roundness of Japanese. The front face is radical and sharp, the waist is very impactful, and the tail is full of three-dimensional sense. CS75PLUS is a good blend of complex design languages, just like the scenery of Xihe ancient town, which makes me "hitched" and shocked by its appearance.

Seven points of humanity of flowing water people

Of course, the Xihe River does not cover several kilometers from east to west and north and south like Wuzhen, and the distance of one kilometer from north to south will soon be completed. But when you leave the town scenic spot and drive all the way west along Qingyi River, you find that the three-point west river is in the scenery and the seven-point flowing water is the essence.

According to records, in the Ming Dynasty, Wei, where xihe town was located, became an important town because of the prosperity of the water terminal. In the early years, there were nearly 200 workshops, halls and shops of various types in Fiona Fang, radiating all around. All the houses were residential areas, contiguous along the Qingyi River. However, after the Wanli War, the fierce battle between Taiping and Qing soldiers, and the hardships of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and xihe town, no matter how the history changes, the humanistic customs of the town remain the same.

Different from the criss-crossing of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the "flowing water" in southern Anhui is a small lake, where several families are surrounded and enjoying, washing clothes, washing vegetables or irrigating the countryside, talking and laughing. This small pond is not only their emotional bond, but also their wealth. At the vernal equinox, the rape flowers in the garden are dotted around the pond, adding a different charm.

Driving CS75PLUS between flowing water families is not too fast. first, the scenery is too beautiful to watch; Secondly, after all, it belongs to a country road, and I am always worried that pedestrians will suddenly jump out, so that I will be careful all the way, relying on voice navigation and not being distracted. "Hello, Ann, help me open the window" "Hello, Ann, I want to listen to Jay Chou's songs" "Hello, Ann, navigate to the ancient town of Xihe", and the response speed and network speed are very fast.

In small towns, uphill and downhill, gravel roads, dirt roads, CS75PLUS can well filter bumps and give passengers the best experience, but for drivers, the sense of road can be well transmitted to car owners through wheels and steering wheels. The winding road and frequent acceleration and deceleration are not too many challenges for the "2.0T+8AT" power combination of CS75PLUS. It has a strong start and a positive change, so it is easy to deal with.

abstract

On the way back, I suddenly realized that this Chang 'an CS75PLUS and Xihe Ancient Town seem to have a lot in common-three points are external and seven points are internal.

The beauty of the Xihe River lies not only in the elegance, quietness and naturalness of its scenery, but also in the fact that it has inherited the humanistic atmosphere for more than 600 years, which is quiet, peaceful and simple. Similarly, at first you were attracted by the appearance of CS75PLUS, but when you really get into the car and drive it, its excellent NVH performance, intelligent application and powerful power system are the key to your fascination.
