The Spring Festival is coming. Xiaoya, who didn't plan to travel abroad in advance, can't get a ticket and is too expensive. Actually, she is thinking about where to drive. At this time, it seems more satisfying to follow the coastal cities in the south and go on the road with an eager stomach!
From Ningbo, not far away, to Quanzhou, a small city with ancient taste, and then to warm Guangzhou, every place has its own flavor and can see different human feelings. These three cities not only have mysterious legends and wonderful scenery, but also have rich cultural heritage. What they have in common is food!
Ningbo's low-key but unique treasure
"Trade and shipping are abundant", facing this harbor city with profound connotation, we will continue to follow the Maritime Silk Road and have a journey of exploring and enjoying the secret celadon and distant civilization. Wandering in the ancient city, indulging in Hengjin Line, one of the most beautiful mountain roads in Cixi, and fishing and singing late at Dongqian Lake, I stole a few days' leisure ...
Baoguo Temple, a famous temple in ancient times, is a kind of ancient history of architecture, which gathered all the buildings in the Han, Tang, Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China. It is not famous for offering sacrifices to gods, but for its exquisite architectural techniques; Asoka Temple is the only existing ancient temple in China named after the Indian Asoka, and its uniqueness lies in the stupa in the temple.
There are towering old trees and ancient inscriptions everywhere in the temple, which are simple and solemn, and complement each other with the boundless mountains. Tiantong Temple is near Ashoka Temple, and the ginkgo here has a unique flavor in early winter.
Dongqian Lake, you can enjoy the lakes and mountains not far from the urban area
Dongqian Lake is in the city, but it has the most beautiful lakes, mountains and ancient villages, and there are amazing hot springs in autumn and winter, which is an indispensable holiday resort in Ningbo; There are lakes and mountains that don't lose Qiandao Lake, but the traffic is much more convenient than Qiandao Lake. It takes only 3 hours for Shanghai to come, drive around the lake and chase a dreamy sunset. Although Dongqian Lake is not a sea, it has the natural advantage of experiencing sailing on the sea, and the sails are swaying, which has also become a highlight of Dongqian Lake's beautiful lake scenery fashion movement.
Cixi Hengjin Line, self-driving on the most beautiful mountain line
In Cixi, Ningbo, there is a "most beautiful mountain line"-Hengjin Line, with ancient buildings scattered among towering trees, white walls and tiles, and lakes and mountains like Alice's fairyland. Connecting Shanglin Lake Yueyao Site, Tongjiaao Hemudu Site, Minghe Ancient Town, etc., it winds for dozens of kilometers, surrounded by mountains and waters. There are hiking trails, fish ponds and tea farms nearby.
delicious local food:
Youzanzi, Ningbo people have a special liking for it
Youzanzi is a traditional food in Ningbo, which looks and tastes like twist, and it has both salty and sweet flavors, while seaweed strips are salty and oily, which can be said to be a unique skill in Ningbo. In order to eat oil Zanzi, you have to queue up early, which shows that Ningbo people love it. Fried dough twists and crispy oil zanzi have been famous in the streets since very early.
Duck and Dog in a jar, the name of this dumpling is very strange.
The taste of Ningbo people is either salty or sweet. When it comes to sweet glutinous rice, it is Ningbo glutinous rice balls. When it comes to Ningbo glutinous rice balls, the first thing that comes to mind is the jar duck dog. The name is very strange, but it has long been incorporated into the Ningbo proverb, "The third watch and the fourth watch are half-headed, and you want to eat glutinous rice balls' jar ducks and dogs'." Lard dumplings are a treasure of the town shop, the size of bayberry, and they can only be eaten one at a time.
Ningbo rice cakes are unpretentious and have many ways to eat
Apart from glutinous rice balls, Ningbo rice cakes are actually quite famous, among which "Cicheng Rice Cake" is the most famous. Ningbo's rice cake culture is much deeper than other places in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the most common eating methods of rice cakes are cooking soup and frying slices, such as fried rice cakes with white crabs and fried rice cakes with shepherd's purse. A little more exquisite, with a little longer, there are baked rice cakes, usually cooked in a large pot, which tastes soft and fragrant.
Quanzhou's authentic southern Fujian customs and tastes
Quanzhou is not as famous as Fuzhou in the north. After all, it is also the old city, and people are the provincial capital. Quanzhou is not as attractive as Xiamen in the south. After all, it is also a seaside, and Xiamen seems more romantic. However, Quanzhou, as the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, has a history that can't be copied. In the course of time, it has become the most tasteful cultural ancient city in this land. The well-preserved buildings here still show a strong old-fashioned style. In the seaside town that has not been disturbed by tourists, the coastline of one of the "eight most beautiful coasts in China" stretches here.
The old city of Zhongshan Road in Quanzhou meets the old buildings unexpectedly.
"The city is full of southern Fujian red", which is an amazing impression that everyone who comes to Quanzhou for the first time will have. In the old city west of Zhongshan Road, red houses are quietly bathed in the sunlight, and local residents ride motorcycles and casually walk through the streets, which is a leisure that can only be cultivated by living in vicissitudes of history. No city is more suitable for walking than Quanzhou. Although the maritime civilization in the Middle Ages is no longer brilliant, the complicated carvings on the old buildings slowly and silently tell passers-by about the glory of the past
Watching operas in Quanzhou Art Museum
Just as Beijingers are obsessed with Peking Opera and Suzhou people often recite Kunqu Opera, Nanyin is also an indelible habit for Quanzhou people. In addition to Nanyin, one of the oldest existing music genres in China, you can also go to Quanzhou Art Museum to see a national puppet show, or go to Weiyuan Building to see a variety of puppet shows, or go to Liyuan Ancient Theatre to see the Liyuan Opera, which is called the living fossil of the ancient Nanxi Opera. No matter which one you choose, in the leisurely afternoon, bring a pot of familiar Tieguanyin flavor, and taste the unique charm of Quanzhou in the lyrics of eyah.
Xisha Bay, the most beautiful coastline, Huinv, the ancient city and the C? te d 'Azur
It takes more than an hour to drive from Quanzhou City to Xisha Bay, Hui 'an County. I never thought that I was like being in Cape No.7. Surrounded by the sea on three sides, I saw the magnificent scenery of "Surfing the shore and rolling up thousands of piles of snow" at noon, and in the evening it was "Sunset and Lonely Qi Fei, Autumn Water".
Anxi Yuequan Hangguan, between Zen and tea, is hidden in the city
Talking about Anxi Tea Town, I want to drive straight to Anxi Yuequan Hangguan, which is hidden among mountains and rivers, soak in the "tea hot spring", and then ask the hotel personal assistant to make a trip to Chashan. The pavilion belongs to the members of luxury boutique hotels around the world, with Zen culture as the theme. The Huizhou architecture in the villa department is antique, and the natural beauty is everywhere. After staying in the courtyard, you can feel the sound of nature lingering in your ears, which makes people fascinated.
delicious local food:
zongzi, which is a feast of land, sea and air
When it comes to Quanzhou cuisine, we always talk about Hou Apo's zongzi. Some people specially bought a bunch of zongzi after coming to Quanzhou, wrapped it in sauce and took it home to taste with their families. Three layers of meat, pork belly, eggs and mushrooms are the standard of Minnan meat dumplings. These carefully prepared delicacies are heavily wrapped in golden glutinous rice, and there is probably nothing richer and fuller than the zongzi stuffing in Quanzhou. Eating the next one will be super satisfying.
beef soup can be eaten three times a day
It is no exaggeration to say that there are the most beef snack bars in Quanzhou, Fujian province. The reason why beef is so popular in Quanzhou is also one of the marks of "Haisi". Beef soup, full-bodied beef flavor contained in the soup, and thin shredded ginger in the soup, when the two flavors are mixed, they are fragrant but not greasy and taste twice as good.
batter, a well-deserved representative food
batter is delicious, sweet and smooth, and it is the most common traditional snack around Quanzhou people. Many people in Quanzhou usually find a place to sit down with batter for breakfast, cut the fritters into pieces, soak them in soup to make them soft, and then drink them thinly. Just the right consistency rolled over the throat. At this time, the wind outside in the morning was a little cold, but it really warmed up.
Guangzhou's beautiful scenery and food
Feel the unique charm of Lingnan culture in the capital of food
My first impression of Guangzhou can be the old days in xiguan big house, the freshness of Dongshan Mansion, and the modernity and prosperity of the CBD in Tianhe District. Moreover, the city, which is famous for its food, will find different surprises, whether it is a hotel, a big tea house, a high-end restaurant or an old brand hidden in a corner. Here, Lingnan culture is brought into full play. Here, you can appreciate the historical charm of Nanfeng ancient stove and feel the distant story of Huangpu ancient port.
Baiyun Mountain is waiting for sunset and night view
Baiyun Mountain, which has been one of the "Eight Scenes of Yangcheng" since ancient times, is the best choice for local people to climb high and look far. The height of more than 311 meters can give a panoramic view of the whole city. Another example is the Liede Bridge, which is a favorite location for many photographers. The panoramic view of the small waistline can be considered perfect. Walking from flower city square to Liede Bridge, the invincible river view is right in front of you, waiting for the sun to set and the lights to come on. Guangzhou City, under the bright lights, exudes infinite charm.
The provincial Zhongshan Library is a century-old cultural heritage of Guangzhou
Guangzhou always gives people the impression of fast food culture, while the Zhongshan Library in the old city of Guangzhou is showing you the cultural heritage of the city. The age of 113 determines its "old appearance", which was formerly known as "Nanyuan", a scenic spot in Yangcheng in the Ming Dynasty, and later as the library of Guangya Bookstore in the Qing Dynasty. Antique is its adjective, surrounded by ancient trees and green grass, and covered with bricks in the style of the Republic of China. There are more than six million books in the museum, and the books are full of books. Watch an exhibition, listen to a speech and watch a movie, and you will have a new understanding of the library and Guangzhou.
Huangpu ancient port, witnessing the prosperity of Haisi, still hides a lot of delicious food
Speaking of Huangpu ancient port, many people think it is in Huangpu District, but it is actually hidden in Huangpu Village in Haizhu District. In the past, Huangpu Ancient Port witnessed the prosperity of the Maritime Silk Road, bearing the glory of Guangzhou's Millennium business capital, and still retains a strong Lingnan water town style and the charm of Sino-foreign exchanges. Although Huangpu ancient port is an antique and culturally rich place, its food and snacks are even more attractive. The ancient port milkmaid Jiang Bui, the stone-based grandfather, the cat's boat porridge and the ancient port people make the foodies eager to go.
Hailing Island, one of the top ten most beautiful islands selected by chinese national geography
In addition to Guangzhou, there are also many good places around, such as Hailing Island, which is more than 311 kilometers away from Guangzhou, with the beautiful scenery of Shili Silver Beach, you can go out to sea by boat and harvest a very fresh food with smiling fishermen; You can set up an oven and watch the charcoal fire and the sunset slowly reflect the shrimp into a reddish flavor; Or just set up a tent, lean in the spacious carriage, wait quietly for the romantic moon and the stars, and imagine lying in the tent with the stars at a later time.
Delicious food: the philosophy of "sighing" tea
Guangzhou people's day begins with "sighing" morning tea. A word "sigh" is really inexhaustible. In Cantonese, sighing means enjoying. In Guangzhou, the White Swan Hotel is a must-see place. Although the per capita consumption is not low, it will be worth the money. The traditional delicacy and exquisite artistic modeling meet in this restaurant with a view of the Pearl River. A simple preserved egg lean porridge, rice porridge is smooth and soft, and the shredded pork is fine and gentle, which melts in the mouth.
Wonton Noodles, a bowl of noodles should be exquisite.
Guangzhou noodles should be exquisite. It must be made of silver noodles made of bamboo, wonton should be moderately fat and thin, and egg yolk should be used to keep the meat flavor. Moreover, the soup base should be boiled thick soup, so that a bowl of excellent noodles can be made. It's really hard for Lao Guang to eat, and it's rare for him to have this pleasure.
rice rolls, Lao Guang's food complex
People in Guangzhou have a rice rolls complex, so they must order every meal. Most of the shops in rice rolls are simple and simple, because all the kung fu is spent on craftsmanship, and they don't care whether the eating environment is high-grade. The shop on the roadside is the most convincing, with a thin layer of skin and delicious stuffing. It is really satisfying to dip it in the sauce and take a bite.
The different customs and customs of these three cities, the preserved historical sites, the smell of streets and lanes and the surprises of driving on the road all give us the motivation to explore the beauty of the cities, and this spirit coincides with Ford explorers: only by constantly exploring can we enjoy the fun of life; Only by constantly starting can we awaken more possibilities.
