In Zhejiang, there is a small town. It is not a tourist attraction, but it is the "last secret land of the south of the Yangtze River". Although little known, it does not live up to the name of the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. It is Songyang County.
Wuzhen, Nanxun, Zhouzhuang, Hongcun ... When the ancient towns are becoming more and more commercialized, tourists come in droves. Only Songyang still retains many primitive and quaint rural scenery, and only here can we take in the tired journey with nowhere to put it.
There is a quaint Yangjiatang Village. In the annular ravine, the houses with yellow walls of Daiwa are distributed in steps. The height is like a ladder, and the mottled walls are more charming in the setting sun. It is known as the "Golden Potala Palace".
The Yamashita Yang Village here is like a labyrinth of gossip, which is no different from other ancient villages from a distance. Walking in it, you will realize the infinite mystery. The years are mottled on the towering horse head wall, and the lanes are winding and winding. I don't know where it leads. Everywhere, step by step, it is like playing a puzzle game, which is full of interest.
There is the Huangjia Courtyard built by the richest man in Songyang, which is one of the large-scale traditional residential buildings in southwest Zhejiang. Its exquisite architectural structure and exquisite knife carving are still amazing even after a hundred years.
There is Yanqing Temple Tower, the first tower in Zhejiang, beside the green fields and at the foot of Qingshan Mountain. The Millennium Ancient Pagoda is located here, with white walls and red eaves, and the eaves of the mountain are gentle. The flying murals over the years are faintly discernible and still exude the sound of long history.
There are old buildings all over Songyang ancient street in Ming and Qing Dynasties. The blue bricks, gray tiles and old window sills all tell the ancient history here. Walking on the bluestone board, the footsteps echoing leisurely are like traveling through time and space, which is full of ancient meaning.
The ancient village is the soul of Songyang, so the beautiful landscape is the most beautiful poem sung by Songyang for thousands of years and the best gift for visitors from afar.
There is the most beautiful Ruoliao primeval forest scenic spot in Zhejiang, with rugged rocks and nine days under the waterfall. The "Shilihuahai" rhododendron in stones of crystal in its brooks, which has lasted for thousands of years, is still moving. Even if the years fly by, it has not changed.
There is a scenic spot of Damushan Tea Garden, which can be ridden. The rolling hills are densely covered with tea plants. From a distance, it looks like a green carpet, and the tea is fragrant, fresh and pleasant.
There is Songyinxi Scenic Area full of homesickness in Songyang County. Here, the river is clear, wetlands are everywhere, and the ecology is good. Many precious birds haunt it, and you can also watch the wonder of "the grass grows long and the egrets fly in Pinghu".
There is Shuangtong Mountain Scenic Area with two rocks standing upright. The double rocks on the main peak here are more than 1 meters high, and from a distance, they look like two boys leaning on their backs to study, which is vivid.
The long history and tradition have left here not only fascinating scenery, but also delicious food that can't be left behind. Songyang pancakes with rich ingredients, sweet and soft yellow rice dumplings, mouth-watering wheat bean rice ... So many delicious foods, there is always one that can soothe your hungry stomach.
