Nanjing Tulou, Yunshuiyao one-day tour of two choices - poetry and the distance

A love but not get, deep affection but regrettable 'Yunshuiyao' let Nanjing's Changjiao renamed Yunshuiyao. A love for love, silent but better than a thousand words 'Big Fish Begonia' let Nanjing's Tulou become a kind of yearning. Ctrip's Nanjing one-day tour is basically divided into two types: A: Yunshuiyao Ancient Town Scenic Area + Tulou Light Cultural Park + Tulou King Scenic Area (Longyan Gaobei Tulou Group) B: Yunshuiyao Ancient Town Scenic Area + Tianluokeng Tulou Group Scenic Area (Four dishes and one soup + East to West) + Taixia Ancient Village. Among them, Yunshuiyao Scenic Area includes Huaiyuan Building, Hegui Building and Yunshuiyao. The Tulou King Scenic Area includes Chengqi Building, Qiaofu Building, Shize Building and Wuyun Building. Tianluokeng Tulou Group includes four dishes and one soup and Yuchang Building. Taixia Ancient Village includes a road of ancient village small earth building, more than 400 years of family temple and puppet show. Line A is from south to north and then to the Tulou King Scenic Area, Line B is from north to south and then to Tianluokeng and Taixia Ancient Village. Huaiyuan Building, is the best preserved and most cultural connotation of the double ring circular earth building in Nanjing, is also the largest volume of the earth building. The two biggest points in Huaiyuan Building are the 'This is the room' in the building, and the gold-engraved couplets on both sides of the main hall 'The moon moves over the flowers, the wind comes to the bamboo' and 'The good plan in the world is reading and farming, the good deed in the world is loyalty to filial piety' fully reflect the Confucian thought of respecting ancestors and emphasizing education. And the left 'well' and right 'copper money' of the two sides of the glass window 'The future is like a brocade' explains the Tao clearly. Hegui Building, the ugliest but also known as 'the first strange building in the world'. Ugly because the front of the earth building has two obvious cracks, strange because it is built on a swamp, and there are two wells of Yin (clear) and Yang (turbid). In front of the Guanyin Hall is a piece of broken stone paved land, which is a swamp. It is said that if more people jump on it, the whole earth building will shake with it. This is where Qiu's home is in 'Big Fish Begonia'. Yunshuiyao Ancient Town, this is a place with quiet water, tranquil ancient banyan trees, long ancient plank roads and the good old days in the hearts of tourists. Whether it's the stone embankment connecting the two sides of the river, or the big water wheel silently waiting under the banyan tree, or the old earth house with mottled decay, every place, every point, seems to have you and me in the past... Chengqi Building, known as 'the king of round buildings', is the core of the Gaobei earth building group. Chengqi Building is east to the square earth building Shize Building and Wuyun Building, and west to the round earth building Qiaofu Building. Chengqi Building also has a story of aunt and sister-in-law praising the building, also known as the city of family. This is where Chun's family holds ceremonies and sacrifices in 'Big Fish Begonia'. Shize Building is a rectangular earth building, Wuyun Building is an earth building without stone wall foundation, and Qiaofu Building is a new type of earth building combining Chinese and Western styles. Tulou Light Cultural Park, a museum of earth building culture with exhibits from historical periods. Tianluokeng Tulou Group, commonly known as four dishes and one soup, consists of a square building, three round buildings and an oval building. With the distant green mountains, the view from above looks like a rich family feast. When you walk to the middle of the mountain, the layers of thick yellow in the distance look like a palace, which the locals jokingly call Nanjing's Potala. Yuchang Building, known as 'the mother of earth building', is famous for its 'east to west for 700 years'. East to west refers to the clockwise tilt of the pillars of the corridor on the third and fourth floors, and the counterclockwise tilt of the pillars of the corridor on the fifth floor, with the maximum tilt angle reaching 15 degrees. Inside the earth building, there is a kind of glutinous rice wine called earth building cola for sale, which is sweet and refreshing, but you can only walk out of the earth building in a daze. Taixia Ancient Village, a typical Hakka village, is built in the 'two mountains and water, iron fan closed door' Tai Chi pattern of the ancient village. What's amazing is that in such a typical Hakka village, there are also Zhejiang-Hangzhou water town style stilted buildings, high and low, large buildings with small buildings. The village has a 400-year-old De Yuan Tang and a stone dragon flagpole that marks the Hakka culture's adherence to and inheritance of the Central Plains culture, and the Hakka puppet show performed next to Zhang's family temple adds to the historical depth of the ancient village. Line A, is a trip to see the earth building to vomit. Line B, is a trip that combines history, culture and beautiful scenery, and is also my favorite trip.
