Songcheng The gate of Longquan Mountain is full of momentum, and the ancient rhyme is leisurely. It is also regarded as an iconic classical architecture. The gate of Longquan Mountain in Songcheng is full of momentum, and the ancient rhyme is leisurely. It is also considered an iconic classical building. The cable car traveled very fast. After more than ten minutes, it arrived at the place where the trip was held - the Orion Villa, a summer resort estate hidden in the green mountains and green waters. As soon as he stepped in, he was touched by the mountain in front of him. There is a uniquely decorated house between the untouched mountains and the village. Surrounded by lush trees, the peaks and undulations in the distance, the clouds are haunted, and the mountains are like the sea, as if entering the original nature. At night, the quiet moon is clean and tidy, the window is light, the breeze wears the forest and hits the leaves to sleep with me, the dreams are ancient trees, and the antelopes are in groups. Although it is deeply hidden in the mountains, it is a holiday villa with very high specifications. The surrounding tourists are scarce and the mountains are lonely.

The first hall of Jiangsu and Zhejiang We dine on the second floor of the "Jiangsu and Zhejiang first plate" private dining room, there is a large plate on the table. It is written on the first hall of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with an altitude of 1508 meters. This means that the highest altitude restaurant in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Although it is located in the mountains, it is supposed to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to eat water. Since the mountains are clear and beautiful, there is no shortage of mountain food. There is a succulent soup with a succulent broth, and there are also delicious alpine snails. Longquan's mushrooms are fresh and juicy. The fish in the mountains are white and tender, especially the characteristic "fried pine worm" of Lishui. It is crispy and fragrant. The meal is not eaten. It is said that Xi Da has also used meals here, and also drank red rice wine, which is the self-brewed rice wine of the Orion Villa, and the eggs are warmed for a while, which is a superior nutritional supplement for the women who are confined. serving dishes are made from local celadon tableware. Longquan celadon is a world-class intangible cultural heritage. The history of the vicissitudes of life and the exquisite elegance of the tableware shine on the small tableware.

There is a chic small bar in the villa. When the night is cool like water, you can order a glass of wine in the dim light of the bar. Listen to the mountain breeze and tell the story. Compared with the bar in the city, it has a taste. The mountain decor is a vintage original style with wooden furniture and wooden ceilings and walls, a fresh and natural atmosphere. Coupled with the design of a very strong lamps and decorations, especially in the subtleties, the entire room is full of unique personality, it is the original natural taste. The history of Longquan can be traced back to the Neolithic period, the land of ancient and ancient wasteland. Since then, human beings have been active in this vast mountain, where food and drink are exposed, and fishing and hunting are born. They are active in the mountains, they are hunting in the jungle, and the wolves and tigers and leopards are all turned into their heroic achievements. The decoration of the Orion Villa is just like its name, leading me into the ancient primitive years. Hua Deng is at the beginning, it is already dinner time. Looking out from the outside of the villa, the exterior of the retro building is covered with a faint glow, warm and beautiful.

The restaurant with the highest altitude in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, enjoys the delicious taste of the mountain Orion Villa restaurant is also very Nordic style, 1,500 meters above sea level makes it deserved to become the highest restaurant in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, sitting inside dining feels different! Although it is located in the mountains, it is supposed to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to eat water. Since the mountains are clear and beautiful, there is no shortage of mountain food. There is no complicated seasoning and fancy dish in the city restaurant, but because the ingredients are fresh and fresh, the simplest cooking is also a delicious taste. The hot pot of the old duck soup is the warmest mountain in the night, the warmest stomach. I have been drinking for a few nights, no MSG, very pure. Longquan is also the birthplace of mushrooms. Come here to eat mushrooms. Although not very big, it is extremely tenacious and delicious. In addition, I usually love to eat mushrooms, so I feel more delicious and well-deserved. Umi rice is my favorite, sweet and soft, I usually don't like staple food, I can eat two bowls here. The seemingly ordinary green dishes are also local wild vegetables, born on hillsides, fields, roadsides, real green and pollution-free food. We stayed at Orion Hill for two nights, and each meal was used in the restaurant of the villa, but it was not repeated. There are too many dishes to record one by one. The most impressive one is the radish and flea meat inside the pot. The first time I heard the name. It inhabits small hills, low hills or weeds on the edge of the forest, with flexible movements and a sharp sense of hearing. The meat has the effects of qi, warm stomach, hunger, and phlegm.

From the small Tianchi, through a lush cedar forest, the sun with the breeze through the forest to fight through the leaves, sprinkled in the mottled point, half is shadow, half is light. And we also arrived at the destination of this trip - Lijiangyuan. The Qianjiang River stretches for thousands of miles from this place, from the trickle of the river to the turbulent Zhejiang. The second largest river goes straight into the ocean and forms its own water system. All the way, all the way, Yandang Mountain, Nanxi River dotted with it, Jinyun Xiandu, Baizhangyu-Feiyun Lake accompanied by its side, flowing a good southern Zhejiang Fengyue. "When the sea tide arrives, it starts to look at the river and the moon. When you ask the same boat passenger, when will you come to Yongjia?" From the ancient times to the present, Yongjiajiang, which is full of ancient styles, is the Yongjia River. Mountain creeks and streams secret and ethereal but with a choppy dream

The initial place of the Lancang River - the source of the Lijiang River. The first mountain lake to be seen, this place is called Xiaotianchi. I saw a piece of clear water reflecting the fir-trees on the banks of the two towers. The white clouds lingered on the blue sky, and several birds glided over. Tianchi Chengbi, the water falls red lotus, the cloud is selfless. Overlooking the small Tianchi, it seems like a sapphire dotted in the mountains of the mountains. Staying in the summer of July and August, this is another scene. At that time, it was the season of alpine meadows and waters. When the cool mountain winds blew through, there should be some "days like shackles, covering the four fields. The sky is green, the wild crickets, the wind blowing grass and seeing cattle and sheep" Let's taste it. Continue along the mountain path, except for a few companions who can't see other tourists on the road, quite quiet and quiet.

Lijiangyuan, enter the fairy tale world of the Wizard of Oz We came to the entrance of the Lijiangyuan Scenic Area. Passing through the high and low reeds, through the thatched grass, watching the world, the sun and the moon are silent, watching the green mountains and green waters remain unchanged. Walking in the natural oxygen bar, the nose smells the fragrance of grass and earth. This is the scene along the way: the roots are intricate, the moss is evenly and finely lit, and the sun accidentally passes through the gap to find the ground, forming a mottled and beautiful light. The birds are turning and the plants are fragrant. We seem to be able to smell the high concentration of negative oxygen ions. Surrounded by the tranquility of the original, we have enjoyed the enjoyment of walking in the city. As the sound of water is getting louder and louder, we finally came to the true source of the source of the river. The Lijiang River, which stretches for thousands of miles, began here. From the trickle of the river, the second largest river in Zhejiang is directly connected to the ocean, forming its own water system. All the way, all the way, Yandang Mountain, Nanxi River dotted with it, Jinyun Xiandu, Baizhangyu-Feiyun Lake accompanied by its side, flowing a good southern Zhejiang wind. "Where the sea tide arrives, look at the river and the moon. Ask the same boat passenger, when to Yongjia." From the ancient times to the Wenfeng, the Yongjia River is the place. Mountain creek flows, quiet and ethereal, but with a choppy dream. We seem to have entered the fairy tale of the Wizard of Oz, just looking for a beautiful dream of the heart of the mountains. The scenic spots of Longquan Mountain are mostly like the Minjiang River. It is a circular tour route. It doesn't go back, and it feels great to play.

If you don't go far into the source of the river, you can see a mountain lake called Xiaotianchi. The surrounding peaks are stacked, the water is like a mirror, the green mountains are floating, and the reflections are like the scenery. The scenery on both sides of the river is like a Baili Gallery. The pagoda-shaped Tha Tinglin is like a typical plateau lake painting. It is said that when the spring blossoms are here, the small flowers in the valley are dotted with little stars, and there is no one in the meadow. In the golden autumn season, you can also appreciate the heavens and the wild. The scenery of the grassland where the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep. I wonder if it is going to come again in the fall. However, now, the scenery is not bad. All the trees are green and lush, and they teach people to be happy. At this moment, time seems to slow down. I walked down to a stone step and sat down. The ear was a constant sound of water. It should be the front of the river. A few hundred meters deep along the forest trail, seeing the surrounding mountain leaking to form a one-meter-wide creek, coming along the canyon. The water of Longquan Lake originates from this, and the 800-year-old river is surging, but its source is so tricky and quite magical. The sound of the surrounding, thin, large and small water, like a wonderful piece of music written by nature, looks so beautiful, so the piano is melodious. Just happened to be tired, there is a pavilion on the side, sitting down for a while and then walking is not too late.

Huangmaojian is the most beautiful mountain in Longquan Mountain. If the weather is very good and full of transparency, the sea of clouds here is very beautiful. When the sunrise is in the east, the scenery here is not the sunrise of Mount Huangshan and Mount Emei. . Therefore, Yamano-kun rushed to the Huangmao Point of Longquan Mountain to visit such a scenic spot. Regrettably, this time there was no good weather, the visibility on the top of the mountain was less than 5 meters, and only a smog could be seen on the top of the mountain. I thought this was a very disappointing trip, but it was not. Lost in the sorrow. Although Yamano Jun did not appreciate the spectacular and beautiful Huangmaojian sea and sunrise, but he admired the misty and fairyland, and saw the small stream along the way, these scenery enough to let me appreciate the different Huangmao The sharp view. The god did not give me the scenery of the sunrise and the sea of Huangmaojian, but it brought me another kind of beauty of Huangmaojian. In fact, this feeling is also very good, perhaps this is the embodiment of Yamano-kun's most standard "Buddha travel life" values?

The first peak of the Yangtze River and Zhejiang Province (2) day has been completely lit, the sun is still floating in the fog, and the best sunrise time is missed. The companions are also deboning the cold wind. I gradually lost patience. can be a joke, and surprises are often only a moment. For a moment, the dense fog dissipated, and the heavens and the earth cleared, revealing the clear and clear sky after the fog, and under the clear sky is the sea of clouds, the vast sea of clouds and vast soups, the sea of clouds and the vastness of the sky. Missed the starry sky, missed the sunrise, but met this vast sea of clouds, and sure enough, the sky is full of people, not to mention the black mountaineering and the two hours in the cold wind of the mountain at three o'clock in the morning. Ascend to the heavens and the earth, Xiaoxiao is floating in the clouds, the mountains are long, the water is long, and the wind is long and lonely. Standing on the top of the peak, thousands of miles clear, thousands of miles of sea of clouds, the sun will be coated with a layer of splendid gold, facing such a vast and vast beauty, at this moment suddenly "not seen before the ancients, after seeing people, read the world, The feeling of being alone but squatting.

Huangmaojian is located in Longquan City in the south of Zhejiang Province. It is the main peak of the Donggong Mountain Range and the first peak of Zhejiang Province. It is 1929 meters above sea level and faces the peaks of Baishanzu Mountain. It is only 20 kilometers away. It is the watershed of the Minjiang River and the Lancang River. This area is surrounded by mountains and gullies. The first peak of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Huangmaojian, is not only a well-known summer resort, but its sunrise is also very famous. Close to the magnificent mountain sunrise and magnificent sea of clouds, the water flowing in the small bridge, the south of the white wall of the tile, is a rare limited edition experience. At three o'clock in the middle of the night, we used a flashlight to pick up the steps from the starting point. The surrounding area was dark, and only the beam of the flashlight penetrated the endless night, becoming the only source of light around. The pines in the mountains are bursting, the insects are smashing, and sometimes the water is flowing, setting off the environment more and more quiet. After a lot of hardships, I finally boarded the 1929-meter-high Huangmaojian at sunrise. Although surrounded by mountains, the Huangmao Point where we are located is indeed a well-deserved commanding height. Everything in my mind is a beautiful word for this kind of scenery. I also understand that when the ancients wrote "When it was the top of the mountain, the list of the mountains was small," the kind of straightforwardness of the chest was straightforward, and we felt the same at the moment. Although the fog on the top of the mountain was too heavy on the same day, the magnificent Huangmaojian sunrise in all kinds of beautiful scenery was still half-faced. However, we have seen the sea of clouds flowing under the feet, and still feel that it is worthwhile. If there is a fairyland in the world, it is probably at the tip of Huangmao. In such a fairyland, the floating clouds are like a veil in the mountains, the scenery is ever-changing, fleeting, every minute is different.

As the most characteristic national celadon cultural tourism scenic spot in Longquan, the Phiyun Celadon Cultural Park can not only visit the ruins of the state-run Longquan Porcelain Factory, but also the Celadon Traditional Art Exhibition Center, Handicraft Square, International Pottery Village, Shopping Street and Celadon.

Longquan celadon is an artificially made jadeite. It is the perfect crystallization of the essence of mountains and rivers and human wisdom. In the face of such extreme beauty, it seems that all languages have lost their power. I believe that in the near future, More people know about China's celadon town.

In fact, I like Longquan. The main reason is Longquan Kiln. I like porcelain, blue and white, fighting color, pastel, glazed red, etc. from childhood. I love celadon, the jade texture that is revealed in the green, exquisite and clear. Famous Chinese and foreign powder green, plum green glaze porcelain was successfully burned in the Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty and pushed the beauty of celadon glaze to the peak. The Longquan kiln is fully equipped with bowls, plates, pots, saucers, pots, pots, cans, slag buckets, water jets, water bottles, pen holders, stoves, pots, pots, bottles, etc. can be diy here.
