Autumn

Time flies so fast

With a turn, summer becomes a story

With a look back, autumn becomes a landscape

p>

Autumn comes slowly, but the coldness is indeed sudden. You don’t know the summer is gone when the weather is clear, but you only know the depth of autumn when it rains.

Autumn in the south is always better than in the north. There seems to be no autumn in the north. The wind blows through the fallen leaves and it may be winter before you know it.

Autumn in the South lasts longer than expected and is more stunning than expected. It is more like spring with increased saturation, colorful, gentle and unobtrusive.

Little Penglai

This autumn, the wind is waiting for you~

Taihu Sanshan Island, known as Xiao Penglai in ancient times, is located in Taihu Lake more than 50 kilometers southwest of Suzhou City among. It is about seven kilometers away from Dongshan Luxiang Pier across the water from the lakeside.

Taihu Sanshan Island is named after the three peaks of Beishan, Xingshan and Xiaogushan. Beishan is the first of the three peaks, with an altitude of 83.3 meters. Although Sanshan Island is not tall and majestic, it has the appearance of many mountains. Winding and spreading, rising and falling slowly, the mountains and rivers are harmonious, and the emotions are flowing. Therefore, Wu Zhuang, a poet of the Qing Dynasty, praised like this: "The long dragon's breath connects the three mountains, and the beauty stretches as far as the eye can see. The smoke and water are divided into settlements, and Penglai is among the people."

——Cycling around the island

Sanshan Island in Taihu Lake, Suzhou, enjoy slow time

What I find most interesting and enjoyable is riding a small yellow car around the island, stopping and going to explore the island Every corner

Run with the wind and walk toward the light. The green willows shake their heads in the wind, and the clear water flows behind the house and in front of the house. At the end of the alley, romantic flowers bloom with sweet fragrance, and the crowns of loquat and citrus trees are green.

Looking along the way, Dashan, Xingshan and Xiaogu Mountain are lush and green, and the three peaks are connected and dependent on each other. Mountain scenery as a companion, 36,000 hectares of lakes, and a long road around the island with pearls at its starting points.

——Banbi Peak

Banbi Peak is known as Xingshan. The stone stands steeply, just like a natural water-stone bonsai.

Sanshan Island not only has a long history, but also has a long history of Sanshan culture and ancient Wu culture. Two thousand and five hundred years ago, King Wu Fu Chai came here, and his sister-in-law was buried on Sanshan Island, so there is a Xiaogu Mountain and Xiaogu Temple (Empress Temple) on the island.

There are many strange rocks and slopes when hiking. The vegetation on the mountain is dense and lush. Walking on the stone steps in ancient costumes, shaking your fan gently, and the wind holding the gauze, it is like walking out of a fairyland.

Lianxiantian is very steep, but it is a shortcut to the top of the mountain. There are auxiliary lifting rings on the stone wall. Even so, climbing up is not an easy task.

The scenery on the top of the mountain is beautiful, with a wide view of the lake and mountains. After climbing over the Renxian Bridge, you can immediately see Banbi Peak.

The Banbi Peak on the Xingshanxi slope is a steep rock with a width of about 20 meters and a height of more than 10 meters. The rocks are as steep as an axe, with vertical and horizontal textures like knife carvings, mottled moss and clinging vines. Small trees and flowers grow among the cracks in the rocks, and tits and wild eagles dance on the cliffs. The scenery is wonderful and pleasant. The stones in the three mountains are all bluestone, and almost all the stones exposed on the surface have the characteristics of Taihu stone, which are thin, leaky, permeable and wrinkled.

——Orange picking

There are many interactive experience projects on the island, and the most down-to-earth one is picking. Fishing and citrus are the most primitive and important agricultural activities in the area. Now that fishing is prohibited in Taihu Lake, it is the right time to pick citrus. There are many varieties of oranges here. Some orange trees are small, and the oranges they bear are yellow and sweet; some orange trees are tall, and they are full of really small fruits.

Thanks to the good ecological environment on the island, the oranges are very delicious and sweet, as if the fairy island has also given them aura. There are many orange trees on the island, but most of them are the main source of income for the villagers on the island. Try not to pick them in the cool without the owner’s knowledge. One or two are also uncivilized. You can consult the island’s visitor center for a specialized picking experience. .

——Wetland Park

Walking across Changshou Bridge is the entrance to Sanshan Island Wetland Park. A long wooden plank road stretches into the distance, with trees on both sides and sunlight filtering through. The branches and leaves are spread on the plank road, and the light and shadow are dancing.

Autumn is no longer the season when lotus blooms. Only the roots, stems and leaves of the endless lotus pond are still strong alone. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the lake water is clearer and translucent. At this time, there is a vast and beautiful beauty in my mind. I can't help but imagine that when all the lotus flowers are in full bloom, what a wonderful and charming picture it will be.

The boats in the Wetland Park are very cute, yellow like fluffy little ducks, floating with the waves. This kind of boat is pedal-operated, you can control the direction by yourself, and it will not be tiring for one person to ride and drive.

There is a teahouse in the wetland. When you are tired at noon, you can take a rest here, eat some snacks, make a pot of hot tea, sit by the lake, and watch the beautiful scenery, which is good for your eyes, heart, and stomach. , this is the slow time of Sanshan Island, worth enjoying and waiting for.

——Water Expansion

Sanshan Island is surrounded by lakes, so there are naturally many water experience projects. Water activities at Sanshan Island Expansion Base must be experienced, including bamboo rafts and motorboats. The motorboat is fast, driving on the lake, and the water is splashing, which is suitable for young people to experience; the bamboo raft is slower, and it is actually powered by an engine. It does not rely on oars to move by human power. You can slowly appreciate the vast Taihu Lake on a bamboo raft. It’s very pleasant to enjoy the scenery, take photos, and chat.

Because there are many small islands of different sizes and shapes on the lake. The vegetation on the islands is very dense. Boats shuttle among them. The scenery is different and fresh every time. More The meaning is still unfinished. Unlike other places where you can tell the size of the cruise ship at a glance, you will get tired of it after a while.

——Outdoor development

Outdoor development is adjacent to water development. High-altitude rock climbing and downhill climbing are built next to Xiaogu Mountain. It is said that this place was originally a royal quarry. Although Xiaogu Mountain is not high, this kind of extreme sport from top to bottom is still very exciting. If you don’t have the courage and physical strength, it is recommended not to try it. This is a game for the brave.

The climbing project next to it is relatively simple, and girls can also experience it. The premise is to wear good equipment and pay attention to safety.

This kind of hanging ladder is relatively difficult. It floats back and forth when you step on it, and it is not easy to climb up with all four limbs.

There are professional outdoor instructors here to explain the essentials of climbing and ensure the safety of tourists. The professional ones are different. You can fly to the top in a few steps and feel as light as a swallow when you come down.

——Romantic Flower Sea

Sanshan Island is a romantic and poetic place. The mountains are romantic, the lake is romantic, the plants are romantic, and the flowers are also romantic. There are swaths of flowers reaching waist level, yellow, white, pink and purple. Everything you look at is romantic.

Entering the flower garden dressed in pink and white, the breeze blows and your smile blooms. Wearing ancient clothes and standing in the sea of ??flowers, holding up your sleeves, looking into the distance, and smiling, these are the most beautiful scenes. It is said that girls are as beautiful as flowers. Standing in a sea of ??flowers and comparing them, who is more beautiful as a human or as a flower?

——Niubei Stone

There are many strange stones on Sanshan Island, such as golden chicken stone, stacked stones, etc. I think the most interesting one is Niubei Stone, this huge stone. The stone is right next to the sea of ??flowers, and it looks like an ox lying prone on the bank of the lotus pond drinking water.

Legend has it that this bull-back stone is the "golden bull" from the sky who descended to earth. Because he often stole rice by Taihu Lake, someone had a red head rope attached to his tail. Later, he was discovered and had his tail cut off. Thereby turning into stone and remaining in the world forever.

There happens to be a lush tree next to Niubei Stone. It is quite photogenic to take pictures here. In autumn, the leaves on the trees turn from green to yellow, and only a few duckweeds remain in the lotus pond. The mark of time is particularly obvious here, and there is a unique national beauty.

——Twelve Zodiac Stones

King Wu Avenue is a scenic route that runs along the lakeshore. Both sides of the road are covered with beautiful hibiscus flowers, and exquisite stone statues are carved on the stone railings. . There are twelve zodiac stones in the lake. The stones are close to Taihu Lake and are exquisite and embedded in the sky. If you look closely, they look like the shapes of the twelve zodiac animals.

In the distance, the lake and sky are the same color. Walking along the lakeside long embankment, heading southward, the lake light is intoxicating. A peach appears at three steps, a willow tree appears at five steps, and the grass is luxuriant. The bright east wind blows, the water lilies are dancing with green flowers, and the fallen trees are colorful and the willow trees are sparse in the west. The blue sky, clear water, clean air, and the singing of swallows and orioles are comparable to the West Lake Su Di.

——Wuwangdi Sunset

Wuwangdi is the best place to enjoy the sunset on Sanshan Island. The scenery is beautiful all day long, and the mood is beautiful all day long, even when the sun finally falls into the horizon. The short time has become a surprise related to beauty.

The sky changes color, Taihu Lake changes color, and the afterglow wraps up the remaining warmth, as if the air has also changed color. The sun changes from dazzling to a gentle halo, painting golden light and shadow on the lake. The wind blows and the waves sparkle. The wonderful moments are always short, but we will only be satisfied and not sad, because we know that tomorrow It will rise in the other direction.

——Bonfire Party

The lively bonfire party at night makes the romantic Sanshan Island more playful. The joyful atmosphere will not stop because of the darkness of night. Firewood is piled high, torches are lit, and the bonfire rises and dances. The music started, and people who had had dinner began to get active, singing and dancing around the fire. You and I, who come from all over the world, are on Sanshan Island together, warming the same fire, dancing together, laughing and holding hands together...

——Bar Time

The bonfire party may be fun enough, but at night the lights of the Old Pier Bar are lit up. The bar is not big, with a dazzling array of wine racks, wooden tables, and simple oil lamps. Outside the door is Taihu Lake and the lonely sound of wind blowing through the pier at night.

Literature, petty bourgeoisie, romance~

People, perhaps only in the silence of the night can you feel the sense of belonging of your soul, sing loudly, be bold and bold without getting drunk, shake it gently, and drink in the wine glass What I was spinning was my own story. I looked at it, thought about it, and chose to swallow it in one gulp, then said with a smile: That’s all~
