From Ningbo, which is not far away, to Quanzhou, an ancient minority, to Guangzhou, which is warm, 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 accumulated rich cultural heritage. What they have in common is food!
Ningbo is a low-key but unique treasure.
Facing this harbor city with profound heritage, we will continue to explore and appreciate the secret celadon and distant civilization along the Maritime Silk Road. Dai Wali, a blue brick in the ancient city, wandered along the Hengjin Line, one of the most beautiful mountain roads in Cixi, and fished by Dongqian Lake. She sang late and stole a few days off. .....
Guobao Temple is a famous temple in ancient times, and it has a profound study on the spread of Buddhism.
Ningbo Guobao Temple can be said to be an ancient architectural history, which brings together the buildings of Han, Tang, Song, Ming, Qing 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 Temple. Its uniqueness lies in the stupa inside the temple.
Towering ancient trees and ancient inscriptions can be seen everywhere in the temple, which are simple and solemn and complement the vast mountains; Tiantong temple is near Asoka Temple, where ginkgo has a unique flavor in early winter.
Dongqian Lake, you can enjoy the lakes and mountains not far from downtown.
Dongqian Lake is in the city, but it has the most beautiful lakes, mountains and ancient villages. 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 to come to Shanghai, driving around the lake and chasing the dreamy sunset. Although Dongqian Lake is not a sea, it has the natural advantage of experiencing sea navigation, 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 in the most beautiful mountain route.
In Cixi, Ningbo, there is a line called "the most beautiful mountain trip"-Hengrib Line, where ancient villages are scattered among towering trees, Gu Lou is covered with white walls and tiles, and lakes and mountains are like Alice Wonderland. Connecting Shanglin Lake Yueyao Site, Tongjiaao Hemudu Site, Heming Ancient Town, etc. It winds for dozens of kilometers and is surrounded by mountains. There are hiking trails, fish ponds and tea gardens nearby.
Taste the delicious food on the ground:
Youzanzi, Ningbo people have a special liking.
Youzanzi is a traditional food in Ningbo. It looks and tastes like a twist, with salty and sweet flavors, while kelp silk is salty and oily, which can be said to be a must in Ningbo. In order to eat oil, you have to queue up early, which shows that Ningbo people love it. Twist and butter dumplings have long been famous in the street.
Duck and dog, this jiaozi has a strange name.
The taste of Ningbo people is either salty or sweet. Speaking of sweet glutinous rice, it is Ningbo Tangyuan. When it comes to Ningbo dumplings, the first thing that comes to mind is jars, ducks and dogs. This name is very strange, but it has already been included in the Ningbo proverb, "You have to eat glutinous rice balls' jar ducks and dogs' at midnight." Lard jiaozi is the treasure of the town store, which is as big as Yangmei, and you can only eat one at a time.
Ningbo rice cakes are unpretentious and there are many ways to eat them.
In addition to glutinous rice balls, Ningbo's 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. The most common ways to eat rice cakes are boiled soup and fried slices, such as fried rice cakes with white crabs and fried rice cakes with shepherd's purse. A little more delicate, a little longer, and baked rice cakes, usually cooked in a big pot, taste 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 an old city, and people are also provincial capitals. 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 an unrepeatable history. Over 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 this small seaside town that is not disturbed by tourists, the coastline, one of the "eight most beautiful coasts in China", stretches here.
The old town of Zhongshan Road in Quanzhou meets the old buildings.
"The city is full of southern Fujian", 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 sun, and local residents ride motorcycles freely on the streets. This is a kind of leisure that can only be cultivated by living in the 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 complex carvings on ancient buildings slowly and silently tell passers-by about the past glory.
Quanzhou art museum sees local operas.
Just as Beijingers are obsessed with Peking Opera and Suzhou people often recite Kunqu Opera, Nanyin is an indelible habit for Quanzhou people. In addition to Nanyin, one of the oldest existing music schools in China, you can also go to Quanzhou Art Museum to see a national puppet show, or go to Weiyuan Building to see all kinds of puppet shows, or go to Liyuan Ancient Theatre to see Liyuan Opera, which is called the living fossil of ancient Nanxi. 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.
The most beautiful coastlines are Xisha Bay, Huinv, the ancient city and the Blue Coast.
It takes more than an hour to drive from Quanzhou downtown to Xisha Bay, Hui 'an County. I never thought I would be at Cape No.7: surrounded by the sea on three sides. At noon, I saw the magnificent scenery of "stormy waves lapping on the shore, and at night, I saw the poetry of" sunset and lonely Qi Fei, autumn water is the same color ",but the sea at night is more charming because of its tranquility.
Anxi Yue Quan Pavilion, between Zen teas, is hidden in this city.
Talking about Anxi Tea Town, I want to drive straight to Anxi Yuequan Pavilion hidden between mountains and rivers, soak in the "tea hot spring", and then ask the hotel personal assistant to customize a trip to Chashan. The pavilion is a member of luxury boutique hotels all over the world, with the theme of Zen culture. The Huizhou architecture in the villa department is antique, and the natural beauty is everywhere. After staying in the courtyard, you can feel the sounds of nature lingering in your ears, which is fascinating.
Taste the delicious food on the ground:
Meat dumplings are a feast of land, sea and air.
When it comes to Quanzhou cuisine, we always talk about Hou Apo's meat stuffing jiaozi. Some people bought a pile of jiaozi with minced meat 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 foods are wrapped in golden glutinous rice, and there may be nothing richer and fuller in Quanzhou than zongzi stuffing. 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 in Fujian Province. The reason why beef is so popular in Quanzhou is also one of the symbols of Hayes. Beef soup, rich beef flavor in soup, thin shredded ginger in soup, the two flavors are mixed together, fragrant but not greasy, and the taste is twice as good.
Bread paste is a well-deserved representative food.
The batter is delicious, sweet and smooth, and it is the most common traditional snack around Quanzhou people. Many Quanzhou people usually find a place to sit down and eat batter breakfast, cut the fried dough sticks into pieces, soak them in soup to soften them, and then drink them thinly. Just the right concentration rolled down the throat. At this time, the wind outside was a little cold in the morning, but it was really warm.
The beautiful scenery and food in Guangzhou
Feel the unique charm of Lingnan culture in the gourmet capital.
My first impression of Guangzhou can be the old days of xiguan big house, the freshness of Dongshan Mansion, the modernity and prosperity of Tianhe CBD. Moreover, this city famous for its food will find different surprises, whether it is hotels, big teahouses, high-end restaurants or old brands hidden in the corner. Here, Lingnan culture has been 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 waits for sunset and night view.
Baiyun Mountain has been one of the "Eight Scenes of Yangcheng" since ancient times, and it is the best choice for local people to climb high and look far. The height of more than 300 meters can give a panoramic view of the whole city. Another example is Liede Bridge, which is the favorite location of many photographers. The panoramic view of the small waist line can be considered perfect. From flower city square to Liede Bridge, the invincible river view is just around the corner, waiting for the sun to set and the lights to light up. 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, but the Zhongshan Library in the old city of Guangzhou is showing you the cultural details of the city. The age of 103 determines its "old appearance". Its predecessor was Nanyuan, a famous scenic spot in Yangcheng in Ming Dynasty, and later it was Guangya Bookstore in 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 piled up. Watch an exhibition, listen to a speech and watch a movie, and you will have a new understanding of the library and Guangzhou.
The Huangpu ancient port, which witnessed Hayes' prosperity, still hides many delicious foods.
Speaking of Huangpu ancient port, many people think it is in Huangpu District, but it is actually hidden in Huangpu Village, 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 ancient and culturally rich place, its food and snacks are more attractive. The ancient port milkmaid Jiang Buyi, the stone-based grandfather, the cat's boat porridge and the ancient port people make the foodies eager to go.
Hailing Island is one of the top ten most beautiful islands selected by chinese national geography.
Besides Guangzhou, there are many good places around, such as Hailing Island, which is more than 300 kilometers away from Guangzhou. It has the beautiful scenery of Shili Silver Beach. You can go out to sea by boat and harvest an extremely fresh food with smiling fishermen. You can set up the oven and watch the charcoal fire and sunset slowly reflect the shrimp into a reddish taste; Or just set up a tent, lean on the spacious carriage, quietly wait for the romantic moon and stars, and imagine lying in the tent with the stars in the future.
Gourmet: The Philosophy of Morning Tea and Sighing Tea
Guangzhou people's day begins with "sighing" morning tea. A word "sigh" is really inexhaustible. In Cantonese, sighing means enjoying. In Guangzhou, White Swan Hotel is a place not to be missed. Although the per capita consumption is not low, it will be worth the money. Traditional cuisine and exquisite artistic modeling meet in this restaurant with a view of the Pearl River. Simple preserved egg lean meat porridge, rice porridge is smooth and soft, shredded pork is delicate and gentle, and it melts in the mouth.
Wonton noodles, you should also pay attention to a bowl of noodles.
Noodles in Guangzhou are very particular. They must be silver noodles made of bamboo. Wonton must be moderately fat, the yolk must be thick, and the soup base must be boiled. This is an excellent bowl of noodles. It's really hard for Lao Guang to eat. He seldom has this kind of pleasure.
Lao Guang's Food Complex —— rice rolls
People in Guangzhou have a rice rolls complex, and everyone must order food when eating. Most of the shops in rice rolls are simple and simple, because the kung fu is spent on craftsmanship, regardless of whether the eating environment is high-grade. The roadside shops are the most convincing, and the thin stuffing is delicious. Dip in the sauce and take a bite. It's really satisfying.
The different customs, preserved historical sites, the smell of streets and lanes and the surprises of driving on the road in these three cities 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.
