Close look at Songhua Lake, overnight stay in Wusong Village. "Ice and Snow Journey" Self-driving Travel Diary (Saturday, January 20, 2024) I. Today's itinerary: Liaoyuan to Jilin City to Wusong Island. The driving distance is 325 kilometers. II. Tourist attractions: 1. Songhua Lake Scenic Area. 2. China's No.1 Wusong Wonderland Village (Han Tun Village). III. Travel notes: 1. We set off from Liaoyuan to Jilin Songhua Lake Scenic Area at 7:30 in the morning. Because we learned from the online search that the scenic area is temporarily closed in winter. We insisted on going to Songhua Lake. First, Songhua Lake Scenic Area is on our way to Wusong Island today. According to the old saying of Northeast people, it is "grabbing grass and hitting rabbits with a copy". Second, we want to see the famous Fengman Hydropower Station and Songhua Lake formed by the construction of the hydropower station. Third, we want to see the scenery on both sides of the Songhua River, and we hope to see the Wusong by the river. We arrived at Songhua Lake Scenic Area at noon. In the central area of the scenic area, we only saw the gate, sculpture, and neatly arranged (already out of service) cruise ships docked at the shore, and the Songhua Lake with smoke and waves on the surface that has not yet been frozen. I asked a boatman by the lake: Will this lake freeze? The boatman said: Normally, the lake surface freezes around New Year's Day, but this year the weather is warm and it won't freeze for a while. He pointed to the cruise ship docked by the lake and said: Look at those women who are still swimming in winter. I saw five or six middle-aged women in swimsuits climbing up the ladder from the lake. It's so cool, it's amazing to play winter swimming at minus 17 to 18 degrees. The old boatman said: It's true that the weather is cold and the water is cold. The temperature of the lake water is probably around 4 to 5 degrees above zero! Looking at the female warriors of winter swimming, I admire them in my heart, but my body is cold and goose bumps are coming up. The Fengman Hydropower Station Dam is a military control area, and tourists are not allowed to go up the dam for sightseeing. They can only look at its majestic posture that cuts off a lake of clear water from a distance. The cold wind on the bank of the Songhua River is biting, and the forest is sparse, and there is no shadow of Wusong (tree hanging). If you can't see Wusong in Songhua Lake, you should be able to see it on Wusong Island, right? We arrived at the so-called "China's No.1 Wusong Wonderland Village (Han Tun Village)" at 2:30 this afternoon. We drove a big circle in the village and saw one homestay next to another. The signs of the inn are everywhere, but there is no shadow of Wusong. I asked the boss of Tianjia Inn why this is? The boss said: Seeing Wusong is a chance that cannot be sought. Wusong is a natural phenomenon, which is greatly affected by temperature, humidity, and wind force. If the temperature is too low, the humidity is not enough, or the wind is too strong, it will not work. It will affect the formation or effect of Wusong. The weather is too cold these days, the north wind is too strong, and the temperature is not enough, there is no Wusong. Can there be any tomorrow? I think it's choking! After hearing the innkeeper's words, my heart was a little cold, and anything that relied on fate might leave some regrets. Pray! I hope to see the Wusong full of silver and white tomorrow morning.... After arranging the accommodation, I went to the bank of the Songhua River alone to collect the wind, and wanted to take a good look at Wusong Island and the residents of the scenic area. I drove a long way out of the village on the highway at both ends of the village, and all I saw was the farmland covered by snow. Then I drove into the village and looked at Wusong Island Scenic Area across the Songhua River. The village and the island are only separated by a river about fifty meters wide. There is a square-headed and square-brained motor ferry on the river, which is very convenient and fast for ferrying tourists to and from the island. But the ticket price for playing on the island is 79.9 yuan. The amusement items on Wusong Island are nothing more than horse-drawn sledges, snow bobo balls, ice bikes, children's non-powered snowmobiles, three-person horse-drawn carriages, snow turns, snow circles, etc. We don't play the ice and snow entertainment projects on Wusong Island, we are here for the beauty of Wusong. According to the introduction on the Internet: "Wusong Island is named for its many and beautiful Wusong. The trees here are peculiar in shape, and the willows along the river are covered with white and crystal frost flowers. The river wind blows and the silver threads flicker. The scenery is both wild and beautiful. Wusong, commonly known as tree hanging, is one of the four wonders of our country. There is a saying "watch the fog at night, watch the hang in the morning, wait until noon to admire the falling flowers", which refers to the process of Wusong from nothing to existence, from existence to nothing". Looking at this text description, isn't the wonder of Wusong expected and fascinating. In the evening, a tourist bonfire party was held in the customer service center square. The sound from the speakers was deafening, shaking the entire village and Wusong Island. The most exciting performance should be the iron flower, the golden star is scattered, its shape is like a fan, like a tree, and it spins like a fire wheel, which is very good-looking. A bonfire was lit in the center of the square, and tourists danced around the fire in groups, setting off fireworks, dancing dragons, and pushing the party to the climax of singing and dancing, which was very lively. There are many tourists at the bonfire party, all of whom are outsiders who stay in the village to see Wusong. At this time, my heart seems to be much calmer, and it seems to be much warmer. If I really can't see Wusong (tree hanging) tomorrow, there will be hundreds of people who regret it....
