Walking into the hometown of Yixian County, Baoding, Hebei Province, I feel deja vu. It is very similar to Gubei Water Town in Miyun, the capital of Beijing, and the hometown love town in Zunhua, Hebei, but it has the flavor of a southern water town because it guards the Yishui River.
Taste-style food
The food in Shuizhen covers a wide range, including local famous foods such as sesame cakes, bacon and dried bean curd, as well as snacks from Shaanxi, Yunnan and Sichuan. Standing in front of the stove, watching the chef stick the cake on the wall of the stove is very fresh. Have a taste of sesame seed cake, it's crisp. In front of a shop called sole restaurant, I was attracted by the hung cloth soles, and I looked down to see the baked sesame cakes on the case, which really looked like soles. Why is there no crooked belly of cooked meat and pepper on this sole? Looking at the mutton kebabs being barbecued on the track, looking at the cut surface hanging high, watching the steaming delicious donkey meat just released from the fire, as well as beef covered cakes, Shaanxi noodles ... all kinds of snacks, all kinds of signs, all kinds of excuses, all kinds of slogans, people have a feeling of being dizzying. It is a very happy thing to walk into Shuizhen when choosing a meal, taste delicious food slowly and learn about local snacks.
Experience infinite pastoral interest
The water town has opened up a place for tourists to appreciate homesickness and experience local taste. TuiNianZi, mountain products Street, Chili Square, golden corn stacks, and cadence songs on the embroidered floor all bring people into memories of that era. Old objects, old furniture and old wheels hanging on wooden shelves in the streets and lanes record the long years. Many old people are scrambling to take pictures with old objects as the background, and deep down, they want to keep the fragments of their lives and leave indelible nostalgia and nostalgia in their memories. ...
Understand intangible culture
Old pottery clay, old smoke house, old teapot, Liu Lingzui restaurant, Baoding, shops full of paper-cuts, windmills and gourd artworks, and Hebei Bangzi singing loudly in Tongfu Teahouse are all telling people their own historical stories. Standing in front of the pickle basket in Sanzongbao store in Baoding, it seems that it was only yesterday that the custom of bringing a basket of pickles back from Baoding many years ago. Wandering in the streets of the town, many works of art and intangible cultural food are also a point of view. It makes people understand the culture and art with national characteristics and the beautiful things rooted in people's hearts.
Indulge in Yishui
In the water town guarding Yishui, in addition to tasting delicious food, experiencing pastoral taste and understanding intangible culture, there are also water entertainment projects for tourists to play. Against the background of blue sky and white clouds, bamboo rafting, water fighting and "soaking wet" are the favorite projects for young people to try. The small bridge and flowing water in the water town also make people appreciate the unique scenery of the southern water town.
As night fell, I returned to Shuizhen, which was still crowded. At night, the water town is more charming. People walk in the street, taste delicious food and talk about their families. More people gathered on the stage of the water town to watch the cultural performances. At this time, people seem to have crossed just visiting, repeating the life of listening to songs and watching performances under the stars many years ago.
