Man-made scenic spots in Zhouzhuang
Guanyin cultural center. From Zhouzhuang Long-distance Station, Tricycle will generally recommend you to go to this free scenic spot. If it's really free, it doesn't matter if you go to see the three-story indoor Guanyin statue. It just takes some time anyway. But although the explanation always said it was free, I finally took you to three fortune tellers. After calculation, you are always lucky to make incense, and the cheapest incense there costs 200 yuan. This is the so-called "free".
Tongli swimming
general situation
Tongli, formerly known as "Futu", was changed to "Tongli" in the early Tang Dynasty because of its extravagant name. In the Song Dynasty, some literati overlapped the old name "rich soil", and the word "Tongli" was separated from it, which is still in use today.
Tongli is located at10km west of Zhouzhuang, and only18km away from Suzhou City. The ancient town is surrounded by water and embedded in Tongli, Jiuli, Yeze, Nanxing and Pangshan Lake. The building stands by the water and is known as "Little Venice of the East".
trait
There are many rivers and bridges, many buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and many celebrities and scholars. They are famous for their "small bridges and flowing water". The main scenic spots can be summarized as "one garden", "two halls" and "three bridges".
Optimal travel time
Tongli is a typical water town in the south of the Yangtze River, with a pleasant climate, no severe cold in winter and no heat in summer, and the scenery in the four seasons dominates. So you don't have to mind the season when you go to Tongli, but you'd better not go on weekends or holidays, because it is difficult to appreciate the tranquility and beauty of the ancient town and water town in the rolling crowd.
festival
As the saying goes, "A thousand miles of different winds and a hundred miles of different customs", there are many unique folk festivals in Tongli:
Luohan on the first day of the first month
From the first day of the first month to the fifth day of the first month, the faithful men and women in the four townships and eight neighbors rushed to Luohan, the "Nanguan" point in the southwest of the ancient town, in order to achieve peace in the four seasons.
March 28th Zhu Tianhui
This is a spontaneous activity to commemorate Zhu Youjian, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but most of Tongli are old women, so few people in Tongli know the essence of Zhu Tianhui, and only remember a folk song: "March 8th rolled over an old woman". The main activity is "sitting on a stool and being a vegetarian".
April 14 Fairy Club
This is a wide-ranging activity, but Tongli has its own characteristics. The main activities are: walking on stilts, lifting incense, refining mussels and boating. The queue was very long, and finally a group of kind men and women wore atonement clothes and skirts to show their atonement.
Shoot a waterspout on June 23rd.
It is a major feature of Tongli. In fact, this is an annual fire fighting competition. From the Great Temple to the west, all the way to the Ferry Bridge, people with faucets opened fire together, water hoses flew around the river and the fog dispersed. The scene is spectacular.
Burn incense and put water lights on July 30.
July 30th is the birthday of the Earth Treasure King Bodhisattva. Every household lights candles to burn incense in front of their own doors or yards, and then puts on water lights after the end. At that time, water lanterns will light up on the river surface of the whole town, just like the stars in the sky, and slowly disappear into the night with the water waves from west to east.
