The Pear Orchid Festival at Santai Mountain~
The Pear Orchid Festival | Five hundred acres of pear blossoms and February orchids bloom in competition!! I was amazed by this scene when I saw it online last year, and this year I finally made it to the site.
As soon as you see it, you can't help but exclaim: It's so beautiful! Some places can be beautified by photography,
but some places just can't capture the beauty visible to the naked eye, and this is undoubtedly the latter.
The elegant pear blossoms and the romantic dreamy purple interweave and set each other off, creating a beauty that is like a dream.
When surrounded by a sea of flowers, it really can be so beautiful that it's mesmerizing.
Official blooming period for pear blossoms announced by Hua in 2024: April 1st to April 15th.
During the flower viewing, you may encounter various performances and parades, such as dance, guzheng, opera... all of which seem especially romantic amidst the vast sea of flowers.
Nianhua Forest Park is large, and besides the currently hottest Pear Orchid Festival, if you have time, you can also unlock other different attractions.
There are many parking spaces in Hua, and they are all free. There are also free shuttle buses for the Pear Orchid Festival near the scenic area, which stop when hailed.
Shooting location: Jiangsu Santai Mountain National Forest Park Shooting date: 2024.04.04
Ticket price: 60 RMB per person (cheaper if purchased on online platforms or live broadcasts)
Dive into the secret sea of flowers! ~ The Pear Blossom Festival at Santai Mountain Forest Park
Suqian Santai Mountain National Forest Park, I heard a few years ago that the Pear Blossom Festival here was very famous, and today I also came to participate. It seems that I have come a bit early this year, as most of the pear blossoms are still just white buds, while the February orchids under the pear trees are in full bloom, creating a super dreamy combination of white and purple that spreads endlessly. The unique sea of pear and orchid flowers is slowly approaching in full splendor. From the park's main entrance to the pear blossoms, it is over three kilometers, so it is best to take the small train. If you walk, it will take about 40 minutes one way, and a round trip will take about an hour and a half. The price is 45 yuan per person.

The Ancestral Home of Xiang Wang Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
The first time I wore a Chu suit, I shot it in the scenic spot of Suqian Xiangwangs hometown.
Xing Yu and Yu Ji of the childhood sweetheart, still obey each other after adulthood. In the troubled times, Xiang Yu only guarded Yu Ji. For the trepidation of the army, Yu Ji did not hesitate to pull the sword.
Some love, too thick and too thick, people dare not to bear, but also quietly yearning for.
In the years to come, I hope that there will always be someone who loves everyday life, bones and blood, and soul.
Before you, love yourself.
Traveling alone doesn't necessarily mean seeking bustling places; sometimes it's about slowly wandering through a small town
🎡 Many people think that Suqian is a tourism desert, but it's really not. Suqian has attractions like the Former Residence of Xiang Wang, Zaohe Longyun City, and the recently popular 'Little Sanya' of Suqian—Luoma Lake.
🚗 On this trip to Suqian, I discovered a new destination—the Suyu Canal Jiuku.
🛖 The Suyu Canal Jiuku used to be the old granary that everyone in Suqian knew, which was almost abandoned. Now, the old granary has been completely renovated and transformed into a cultural landmark of Suqian Suyu.
🎉 The former warehouses have now been turned into a book plaza, art galleries, bars, bookstores and cafés, sports arenas, hotels, and more, no longer resembling their past. The park also has its own Q-version mascot: Mi Bao. You can see their adorable figures all over the park.
🏯 Not far across the river from the Suyu Canal Jiuku is Dongguan Port. Climbing up the Dongguan Port Tower, you can overlook the bustling canal scenes and the magnificent Former Residence of Xiang Wang.
🏗️ Suqian is a water town, with canals running through the city. Emperor Qianlong once praised this place as 'the best spring scenery of rivers and mountains.' And all of this is inseparable from water conservancy. A city thrives on water and prospers through water conservancy. On the east bank of the canal, there is also a water conservancy heritage museum. The old water flipping station and machinery have completed their missions and now quietly tell their stories of the past...

Suqian is the hometown of Xiangyu, the king of Xichu Bawang. By taking the opportunity to visit Yanghe Town, he will visit the scenic spot of Xiangwangs hometown. When I first arrived at the gate of the scenic spot, I saw a tall and mighty horse statue, and the powerful general Xiang Yu Riding on the back of the horse, a pair of ready to fight to kill the enemy. At this time, I reminded me of a poem about Xiang Yu, "Life is a great person, and death is a ghost. So far, Xiang Yu, refused to cross Jiangdong."
Play Raiders: Go through the gate of the gate and come to a large yard. At first glance, a large piece is an ancient building. These are the places where the king once lived. His home is really big. Yeah! When I heard the sound of the drums, I followed the sound, and there were seven or eight people dressed as soldiers looking at the stage. In front of the stage, I saw a beautiful woman statue, which is probably the story of Xiang Yu's wife, Yu Ji, who had two theme performances in the morning, about Xiang Yu and Yu Ji! Xiangzhuang Dance Sword is intended to be Pei Gong!
Next, after a small bridge, came to an ancient house and saw a big tripod, "Overlord Ding", about 800 kilograms. I heard that Wang can easily lift this tripod. Its great!
Walk along the road in the yard and come to the temple to see the time 10

Yanghe Distillery Cultural Tourism Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Blue Classic | Dream Blue•Handmade Class
The Yanghe Trilogy: Sea Blue, Sky Blue, Dream Blue, is one of the most successful cases of Chinese brand marketing. The Blue Classic, with its blue main tone and a phrase 'Men's feelings', has set off a 'blue storm'. The confidence of the Blue Classic myth is the 'Dream Blue•Handmade Class'.
The Dream Blue handmade production area is located in the 'Dream Blue Central Liquor Area' of Yanghe Distillery, composed of traditional brewing skills exhibition hall, ancient brewing site area, Yanghe ancient cellar pool group and other landscapes. Its handmade brewing technique has been included in the national intangible cultural heritage list, and it is the inheritance place of Yanghe's ancient brewing skills.
To taste the Blue Classic, of course, you have to look at the 'Dream Blue•Handmade Class'.
Yanghe Liquor | The timeless 'World's First Pot'!
Touring the Yanghe Liquor Factory scenic area, following the tour car, the first stop is the Yanghe Central Square, where a large pottery liquor pot stands in the center of the square. The pot stores 100 tons of high-grade base liquor, making it the largest liquor storage pottery pot in the world, known as the 'World's First Pot'.
Behind the 'World's First Pot' is the so-called 'Yanghe Baijiu Vault', a round pot design that gives a mysterious and solemn feeling. The vault stores 'sealed pot liquor', which is said to be a one-time collection, timeless classic, and there are also some celebrity-signed stored wines. The exhibition hall displays various types of Yanghe liquor. The quality of the liquor is invisible, but the design of the various liquor bottles is exquisite, especially a 'Dream Messenger - 2049', which is solemn and generous, customized for the 100th anniversary of the founding of the nation. Passing the 'Yanghe Baijiu Vault' is the 90,000-ton pottery pot warehouse. The factory's Baijiu storage has both can and pot types, and of course, the good liquor is stored in the pottery pots, each of which weighs a ton.
The 'World's First Pot', sealed pot liquor, and Baijiu vault give the liquor culture and value, timeless classic!
Speaking of China's liquor culture, the old Huaiyin once occupied a place with the "three ditch and one river". In the 96th administrative plan, the double ditch of Yangyang and Sihong in Xiangyang was transferred to Suqian City, and the Tanggou of Guannan was transferred to Lianyungang City. The Gaogou, which is left alone, is now Huai'an City. The development of
Yanghe has been obvious to all. The marketing of China Blue Dream Blue has spread throughout the country, and children who don't drink are known. Yanghe Winery is located in the Xianyanghe New District. You can visit the private car and park your car at the door. You can take a tour bus and have a free explanation.
Visit the Yanghe production workshop, the lecturer spoke well, and learned a lot about the winemaking knowledge. Fortunate enough to taste 72 degrees of puree wine, said that Yanghe wine is soft, the first time to drink white wine, no reference, can not tell what is pure. The specific feeling of the 72-degree cup is that the wine entrance cavity is cracked in the mouth of the scorpion, but there is no pungency in the stomach after the entrance, and there is no discomfort. This is the characteristic of grain brewing. After that, I also tasted a glass of wine that has been stored for more than 20 years. This cup has no explosiveness, but it is a little bit spicy in the mouth of the scorpion, and it is not comfortable after the entrance. Asked other people who drink, they said that Yanghe is really soft, but also said that it is more dessert than other wines.
In addition to the Yanghe Winery, you can customize the exclusive wine box or bottle, such as the AH wedding sea blue, 60 bottles set, each custom fee 3, Dream Blue 20 box order The custom fee is 5 pieces. I think it is suitable for occasions such as marriage, class reunion, annual meeting, birthday and so on.
