Jiuzihai, a secret garden lost in the human world

In that distant and hidden corner, there lies a fairyland forgotten by time—Jiuzihai, a secret garden lost in the human world. It speaks not a word, yet with endless gentleness and mystery, it entices every soul yearning to escape the hustle and bustle. Just like the delicate and profound strokes in Yu Hua's writings, I will slowly guide you into this untainted pure land, experiencing a spiritual cleansing and a visual feast. First Encounter · The Place Where Dreams Begin The moment you step into Jiuzihai, it feels as if you've traversed a rift in time and space, arriving in a world not belonging to the mundane. Surrounded by mountains, shrouded in mist, the peaks layered like ink paintings, slowly unfolding before your eyes. The air is filled with the fresh scent of soil and flowers, each breath feels like a deep inhalation of the soul, making you unconsciously slow your steps, afraid to disturb this tranquility and beauty. "A photo cannot capture even a tenth of what my eyes see." This phrase is particularly fitting at this moment. While a lens can capture a moment of light and shadow, it can never fully replicate the shock and emotion of being there in person. The beauty of Jiuzihai is dynamic, constantly changing with light, seasons, and moods. It requires you to walk, see, and even close your eyes to feel it with your heart. Stroll · A Journey of Discovery Following the winding path, slowly stepping into the depths of this secret garden, each step treads on the marks of time, each step filled with surprises. On both sides of the path, wildflowers bloom in a riot of colors, quietly blossoming, as if telling their own stories. Occasionally, a butterfly or bee flits by, busy yet leisurely, they are the most lively residents of this land, the most harmonious symphony of nature. Continuing forward, a rippling lake comes into view, the heart of Jiuzihai—Jiuzihu. The lake water is crystal clear, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and surrounding mountains, like a giant mirror capturing the beauty of heaven and earth. By the lake, a few ancient trees stand tall, their branches lush, adding a touch of antiquity and vicissitudes to the serene lake. Sitting on the bluestone by the lake, closing your eyes, letting the breeze gently caress your cheeks, the sound of the lake's gentle waves lapping the shore, your soul finds unprecedented peace and tranquility. Listen · The Sounds of Nature Jiuzihai is not only a painting but also a poem, a symphony composed of the sounds of nature. In the morning, when the first ray of sunlight pierces the clouds and shines on this land, the birds begin their songs. Their crisp and melodious chirping, like the sound of heaven, pierces the clouds, reaching straight to the heart. In the afternoon, the breeze gently rustles the leaves, mingling with the distant sound of flowing streams, forming a melodious tune. At night, all is silent, only the faint glow of fireflies dancing in the grass, their weak light like stars falling to the earth, adding a touch of fantasy and romance to the tranquil night. Reflection · The Home of the Soul In the days spent at Jiuzihai, time seems to slow down and elongate. Here, there is no city noise and restlessness, only the tranquility and harmony of nature. Here, you can temporarily let go of all worries and constraints, allowing your soul to be truly released and free. You will begin to ponder the meaning and value of life, re-examining your relationship with the world. You will find that in this world, there is such a pure land that allows you to regain inner peace and innocence. "A place I want to visit a hundred times over!" This is not just praise and longing for the beauty of Jiuzihai, but also an expression of the endless yearning for beauty and tranquility deep within the heart. Jiuzihai, this secret garden lost in the human world, tells us in its unique way: in this world, there is always a pure land belonging to us, always a scenery that can touch our hearts. Let us continue forward with this longing and expectation, discovering more beauty and miracles in the days to come!
