Mid-Autumn Festival is the tourist season in Haining, because August and September are the best time to watch the tide. Qiantang River is surging, the waves are rolling, and the first-line tide is more spectacular. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, visitors to Haining can not only visit the history of the ancient city of Yan Guan, feel the profound heritage of Haining, but also witness the vigorous vitality of Haining tide.
The ancient city of Yan Guan is a continuation of Haining's history. The ancient city of Yan Guan is located on the banks of Qiantang River in Yan Guan, 50 kilometers away from Hangzhou. Since the Western Han Dynasty, this place has been an important place for drying salt and making salt. Strolling through the ancient city, looking up at the city wall, the tide is surging outside the city wall, and the city is very lively.
In this ancient city, there are celebrities from all walks of life and stories and legends of Yan Guan. The Sea Temple, Jin Yong Academy and Wang Guowei's former residence in the ancient city are all telling the indissoluble bond between these celebrities and Yan Guancheng.
Speaking of famous cultural cities and celebrity resorts, this small town of Haining is the birthplace of contemporary famous literary masters. Jin Yong was born in a scholarly family in Yuanhua Town, Haining. Jin Yong's former residence is located in Yuanhua Town, Haining City, surrounded by farmhouses and farmland. The traditional China mansion is a famous local family. The building area exceeds 1000 square meter, and there are four halls, the first five rooms and the last five rooms, with a wing and a patio in the middle. The main hall is decorated with traditional solid wood tables and chairs, and the plaque "Lianyuan Hall" given by Emperor Kangxi.
Xu Zhimo is Jin Yong's cousin, and Xu Zhimo's home is also Shixia Town, Haining City. This is a small western-style building built in 1926, with a building area of 600 square meters and a private garden. Entering the Intermediate People's Court is a transparent glass patio, and the floor under the veranda adopts fancy colored tiles imported from Europe, which perfectly integrates Chinese architecture with western design and also reflects the profound influence of Xu Zhimo's western education.
The scenic spot you must not miss when you come to Haining is Nanguan Lane, a century-old street that has been rebuilt, where you can almost read the deepest inside story of Haining. Haining Shadow Play, Shi Xia Lantern Festival in Haining, all kinds of authentic snacks and delicious food in Haining. Visit Nanguan Lane and taste the taste of Haining Old Town.
Haining City is such a low-key historical and cultural city, where many literati come forth in large numbers and penetrate into the cultural heritage of the bone marrow, so that it still retains the original ancient charm of the famous city in the south of the Yangtze River. On the occasion of Mid-Autumn Festival, it is better to come to this small town to read history, visit the former residences of celebrities, see Qiantang Hole and taste Haining cuisine. Perhaps the surprise brought by this small town in the south of the Yangtze River is far more than that.
