After getting off the plane, it was not as humid and sultry as expected, but because it was late at night, there was a hint of coolness after the rain. It was one o'clock in the morning when I arrived at my accommodation, and the fatigue of running all the way was finally released.
First of all, heat and softness
The next morning, walking in the courtyard, many trees I have never seen are tall and straight, with round leaves and cracks. They laugh like "butt" with my companions. The small trees are low, with Kobanawa green leaves and full of vitality. After the rain, the air was wet and humid, and soon I began to sweat. I have a preliminary understanding of the weather in Fuzhou. It is not that a stove is better than a stove.
When I first came to a city, I always liked to walk and watch. In the bustling streets and alleys, people are busy, and their living conditions are written on their faces, either urgent or slow. Life in the city is full of fireworks, which can touch the hearts of ordinary people most. There is a small street around the house. The houses on both sides of the road are very old and look very old. Early in the morning, the vegetable shop is the busiest. There are several kinds of seafood in front of the store, including clams and clams, as well as fresh hairtail and shrimp. Watching housewives skillfully choose clams and clams, I really don't know how to tell them from each other. Occasionally, I see a man carrying a load to sell crabs. Crabs are roughly tied up, sapphire-colored, and the crab meat swells as if it were about to crack.
In the evening, the restaurant became lively. The food stall is worthy of the name and its furnishings are simple. The guests ordered several dishes and started their nightlife with the noise of drinking and fighting. Many shops here are open all night, and there are hardworking people everywhere. It's late at night, and such a small shop is still open. I admire these hard-working people. With the in-depth understanding of Minnan culture, it is increasingly found that "love will win" is the spiritual core of Minnan people. Every individual is a collection of urban cultural stars, and a group of hardworking people have prospered a coastal city and become a rich city today.
Fuzhou is a lively city in the middle of the night. Fuzhou in the daytime is a veritable ancient city.
This is the world of banyan trees. Banyan trees are everywhere, full of green eyes and cool. Fuzhou is near the sea and the river, and the warm and humid environment in the subtropical climate has created the ancient city of Banyan. The banyan trees in the street are not young. Two people are surrounded by an ordinary tree. The curved trunk has a long beard and looks like it has been through many vicissitudes. Some banyan trees leaned over and extended their branches to the road, forming a boulevard tacitly. One by one, independent but not far away, quietly watching pedestrians and vehicles passing by on the road, guarding the city.
The roots of banyan trees are very developed and can be climbed and spread everywhere. They like to grow freely. There are many restrictions in the city. Many banyan trees have square roots, so you can see the traces of being framed. The air is too humid, and there are many mosses on the trunk. The layers are all green, as if wearing a green velvet dress.
? The rain in Fuzhou is wet and soft. The rain here will fall anytime and anywhere without any warning. The rain stopped in the morning, but suddenly it began to rain in the afternoon, just like Lei Gong woke up from a nap, picked up a basin and spilled it casually, only to hear a "wow" rain. Rain is soft when it hits the body, so it is neither cold nor urgent. It is comfortable to walk in the rain.
Second, the lonely mountain is beautiful
? On rainy weekends, I have nothing to do to climb Guling, and the locals especially recommend to see the scenery here. On rainy days, the road up the mountain twists and turns, and it takes nearly an hour to walk from the city. Standing at the gate of Liushanwang Park, there are no pedestrians around, there are several homestays on both sides of a path, and there is nothing special at the gate of the park. Walking into the park and climbing the stairs, we saw a huge cedar in the distance. There should be a bigger tree king in our consciousness, so we move on without staying too long. There is another way to go up. The architectural styles of the B&Bs on both sides are basically the same, both for eating, entertainment and accommodation. The rain became heavier, so we trimmed it a little and searched all the way. We have never seen a bigger cedar, but we have seen more scenery. Camping in Julie, listening to the scenery of Gu Feng and Guling, and standing on the high mountain to see the scenery, you can have a panoramic view. The green in the north is green, and the green in the south is lush and full of vitality. I can't get tired of seeing such green mountains and green waters.
Walking, the rain stopped, and tourists gradually began to go up the mountain together. We began to look for more historical sites along the highway. The imaginary church is a renovated new building, and the old bricks are covered with moss. This ancient building of 100 years ago has now become a recreation area, and the house can't talk, because the owner here is no longer a person who looks at the scenery.
? Walking down the mountain road, I saw countless flowers and plants with unknown names, which grew in the green hills and added beauty to Guling. After the heavy rain, the trees are new green, the flowers are fresh and tender, and everything seems to stretch again.
After the heavy rain, Guling stood on a high place and looked down, and the fog gradually rose and became hazy. Thick green is accompanied by thick fog. When the fog comes, the sky and the earth are the same color. After a while, the green trees showed their original colors again.
? Exploring all the way, the biggest cedar in the imagination is actually in front of you. On the way back, we went back to Cryptomeria kings park again and walked behind King Cryptomeria. Finally, we were shocked at close range! /kloc-a small seed 0/300 years ago has now grown into a towering tree with deep roots, ancient and full of vitality. Around the side, probably on the front, I saw a memorial tablet specially set up for God, and the incense was very strong. Standing under the branches and leaves of a big tree, the historical changes of small human beings 1000 years are nothing. At this time, the sacred cedar tree overlooks all beings and smoothes all things in the world with thousands of years of experience. Everything is still, time stops, and the mind is calm. Sanmao said that if there was an afterlife, I would like to be a tree. Make a wish, secular people dare not expect it, I hope that the afterlife will not move, and this life will be as vast as a tree.
? Located in the eastern suburb of Fuzhou and the north bank of Minjiang River, Gushan Mountain is a famous scenic spot in Fuzhou. It is said that there is a huge stone like a drum on the peak, which makes a swaying sound whenever it rains and blows, hence the name Gushan. Gushan has always been very popular with local people. This is a good place to climb mountains and exercise. Yongquan Temple, a thousand-year-old temple on the mountain, is also full of incense all year round.
At the weekend, we meet to climb the lonely mountain, which is only a few stops away from our residence. We will arrive by subway line 2 soon. Most of the people who come to climb the mountain are locals, old people and children, and we also join them. Walking into the blue brick road of the lonely mountain, green can be seen everywhere, trees are green, grass is green, and brick floors and cracks are also green. We walked slowly up the hill along the green land. Every walk, there are small pavilions, some are old buildings, and some are newly built.
? The stream beside the stone road dried up at the foot of the mountain. The higher you go, the trickier you will see like an earthworm. There are traces of water on a large piece of high and low rocks halfway up the mountain. Every time it rains heavily, there will be waterfalls here. This stone is as smooth as if it had been cut by a knife. After years of scouring, it has been polished into a stone bed. Stones without edges and corners are full of softness.
? After reaching the top of Gushan Mountain, I heard that a temple was rising, so we moved on. Along the way, calligraphy and seal cutting on the rocks attracted us, and we were amazed as we watched and walked. Walking into Yongquan Temple, we really found a paradise, which is called Shoushui Spring. At first glance, spring water keeps pouring out of the spring. An ancient dragon mouth keeps pouring out clear spring water, which is ancient and magical.
? In Yongquan Temple, there are many calligraphy and stone carvings on both sides of the stone road, which are dazzling and dizzying. The earliest characters were inscribed by Zhu, a philosopher in the Song Dynasty, and the recent characters are similar to those inscribed by the Republic of China and modern people, which is very interesting to read. The inscriptions on the stone wall have different fonts and sizes, including special notes, engraved names as a souvenir, and more feelings of traveling around the mountains. This is a paradise of ancient calligraphy art, which made us a group of people who love calligraphy linger for a whole afternoon.
Yongquan Temple is a very famous temple. There is a picture of Buddhism on the wall of the courtyard, which is very detailed. In the nearby Zhaitang, tables and chairs are neatly arranged, and everyone's bowls are put in their original places after washing. There is no extra decoration in the Zhaitang, and eating here is very clean. The temple is surrounded by fireworks, and it is the wish of the world to go in and worship Buddha and burn incense.
? I met a monk on the road, wearing glasses and holding a new mobile phone. He speaks very gently. He stood by and observed, very bookish. We really want to know if he is a student of Buddhist College. He smiled and did not deny it. After he showed us the way enthusiastically, he turned and left with long sleeves fluttering, a little fairy.
The highest point of the lonely mountain is only a few hundred meters above sea level. Looking down, the Minjiang River meets another unnamed river and twists and turns. Seen from a distance, the river is as turbid as the Yellow River. The tall buildings in the city are built by water, which adds a bit of agility.
Third, pingtan swims in the sea
At the weekend, we rented two cars to visit Pingtan Island. It takes more than an hour to get all the way to the expressway. This sea-crossing bridge is particularly long, and there are many large and small ships on the sea surface, which forms a particularly beautiful seascape with the looming sea level in the distance.
Follow the navigation mark to an island called Aocun. The stone houses here are built by the sea, and the sea breeze is very strong. The sea breeze is salty and strong. When we came to a house, the door of the yard was covered with nets. This fishing net is very distinctive. There are countless black rubber strip on the long nylon thread. A father and daughter are stacking neatly arranged fishing nets evenly. Look at the piled fishing nets, and then look at the scattered fishing nets, which are hundreds of meters long. I really don't know how such a complicated sorting work is carefully completed. This kind of fishing net is used to catch oysters. From intermittent stories, it is known that after such a fishing net is put into the sea, oysters will live on rubber belts and be salvaged when they are mature. Get off the net in September every year and close it in April and May next year.
Pingtan is the fifth largest island in China, facing Taiwan Province Province across the sea. Entering Pingtan, the roads are brand-new, the streets are clean and tidy, and there are few vehicles and pedestrians. It looks quiet, not as lively as a tourist city. We first came to a stone house. At first glance, there are stone houses everywhere, with different decoration styles, homestays everywhere and many tourists. The season of watching blue tears has passed, and we went to the beach to see the sea. The soft beach is lapped by the fine waves, and the sea water is clear and cool. The fun of treading water is regardless of age. Everyone walked slowly, feeling the coolness and comfort of the legs photographed by the waves.
After experiencing the sea for the first time, our interest in sightseeing became stronger. The next beach is bigger. There are sand crab caves everywhere on the beach. These little crabs are small but smart. When they hear a little noise, they will quickly climb back into the hole. Someone tried to dig a hole, but they didn't see it after drilling deep. It seems that the little sand crab is an expert at digging holes. The sand crab caves are very dense. They diligently wrapped the wet sand into small balls and threw them near the mouth of the cave. These small balls looked like countless sand pearls scattered.
Shells can be picked up from time to time on the beach here. The deeper we look, the harder it is to catch up with the ebb and flow of the sea. Occasionally, we will find a complete and unique shell, and loudly greet our partners to enjoy it, just like we found a treasure.
When we came to the third beach, there were many people playing in the sea, and we also stepped in the sea. The sky is getting darker and darker, and the waves keep extending forward. Wave after wave, the trousers have reached the top, but they are still wet. The waves seem gentle, but they are wild. The climax began. In the evening, the waves get higher and higher. Like curly hair, waves are full of momentum when they surge, and when they dissipate, they become a series of beautiful blisters.
Seeing the sea at close range for the first time in my life, I couldn't help walking back and forth by the sea, just to feel close contact with the sea in the vast mind of the sea. In the gentle and powerful waves of the sea, wash the dust inside and get a moment of peace.
Fourth, Wuyi scenery
On weekends, take a motor train to Wuyishan Scenic Area. The scenic spots here are constantly visited all year round, and we are accompanied by four Taiwan Province compatriots working in Fuzhou. I was a little worried at first, but I was relieved to learn that they were working in Fuzhou.
Zhu lived here for the first time in Wuyishan, entering from the entrance of the scenic spot. There are green trees all the way. Looking up, the mountains are beautiful and majestic, the stream is winding and green, and the bamboo rafts on the stream flow slowly with the water. It really looks like a color ink painting. There are natural caves on the hillside, which are dark and cool, with stone tables and benches. Imagine such a quiet place. If someone comes to visit, it's really a pleasure to have friends from afar.
Walking to the foot of the real mountain, it is very flat and open, which is endowed with legend by later generations and surrounded by huge stones, which makes people who watch it daydream. In the process of climbing along the stone steps, according to the steep mountain situation, some steps are nearly 80 degrees upright, so that climbers can use their hands and feet without worrying about falling from the center of gravity. The mountains are actually not high, but every mountain is always high. There is no wind in the hot weather, and sweat flows out layer by layer. Climbing to the top of the mountain depends on willpower. Thankfully, if you look down the mountainside, the color of the landscape painting will become stronger. The beauty of mountains and rivers lies in the scenery, the joy of climbing mountains lies in your heart, and the meaning of drunkenness lies not in the wine, but in the mountains and rivers.
? Rock tea is abundant here. Hundreds of years ago, the mother tree of Dahongpao was different from its magnificent appearance. On the rocks halfway up the mountain, several seemingly ordinary trees are rare and unimaginable.
? I went to see impression da hong pao in the evening, saying it was a stage play, which poetically showed past lives in Dahongpao in Wuyishan. The first time I watched a performance in an open-air venue, the sound, light, electricity and shadow were connected with the real landscape, and the scene transformation was ingenious and natural. The towering Wuyishan Wang Feng and the gurgling Jiuqu River are magnificent against the light. The audience of hundreds of people moved with the transition of the drama, as if they were in an illusory space, with people outside the scene and people in the scene.
? Early the next morning, there was a long queue for drifting in Jiuqu River. We boarded the bamboo raft in a hurry, sat on the thick bamboo chair and started the drifting journey. The streams are green, the mountains are green, and the bamboo rafts flow happily in the quiet scenery. The two poles are in tandem, the bamboo raft in front is inclined and half bent, and the bamboo raft in the back is straight. We sat between two rows of bamboo rafts. Bamboo rafts are all made of bamboo with thick legs, and the strong material looks very reassuring. The stream is sometimes swift and sometimes gentle. The swift current stirred up and caused an exclamation. When it is gentle, it reaches out and paddles, then looks at the green hills on both sides and imagines it at will. A group of people had a good time.
Come for the first time in the afternoon. Many scenic spots in China have such landscapes formed by special landforms, and they have not exerted much imagination. This place in Wuyi Mountain is a veritable scenic spot. There is only one gap between the two mountains that can accommodate one person. The smell in the inner room is bad, and you can see bats flying when you look up, which makes people very worried. Walking up the stairs, I felt the rain dripping on the crevices, on my body and face. The steps are steep, and the higher you go up, the hands and feet will be used together. The wall feels wet and greasy, and breathing becomes urgent with the narrow gap when walking. Water drops kept dripping and getting denser, but they were afraid to walk quickly, not because they were afraid of falling, but because they had to lean sideways to get through the gap. When I finally went out, I found it was raining. This unforgettable first-line walk is unforgettable.
Then, Wuyishan showed us a pouring rain, standing under the cave to hide from the rain, and saw that the main ditch in front of us turned into a full stream, running all the way down the mountain.
Wuyishan is a natural landscape, and people who break into it will only visit stop for a minute, leaving only intoxication and admiration.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) A glimpse of Gulangyu Island
Gulangyu Island is a small island on the sea with dense tourists, which is a lively attraction among network celebrities. Only 1.88 square meters of small islands in the sea are a little short of the minimum standard of 2 square meters, but they also form a unique landscape.
? The resident population on the island is small, and the number of migrant workers exceeds the resident population. It is very inconvenient to rely on the ferry for daily travel. At present, only the old people still live here, and the young people are more eager for the outside world.
The streets and lanes of Gulangyu Island are different in width. It is said that there are more than 300 alleys. When we walk along the historical sites, we can only see the exterior, but we can't enter the interior. The houses here are all built of stone, but the tallest one is only three stories. A bomb shelter hundreds of meters long separates the residential area from the tourist area. Tourist attractions have long been commercialized, and the busy central street is full of shops, most of which sell food. Pedestrians hurried to see the scenery and saw the urbanized commercial shops.
? At noon, the weather is hot, and there are not many people on the long trail around the island. Now is not the time to look at the sea by the railing. Gulangyu attaches great importance to environmental protection. There are only three oil-burning trucks on the island, and we met one, which is a garbage truck. Merchants pull goods by hand, but also mark the quantity, and the management is very strict.
? We arrived at noon, and we just wanted to hide in the shade. The scenery of Gulangyu Island has been seen in a hurry, and tourists who flock to Gulangyu Island like sea water should see different scenery. It is better to see the scenery than to listen to it. Although a tour guide was invited to explain, I still had a little knowledge in the end. Sometimes, looking at the scenery means looking at the scenery, looking at the landscape and vegetation in front of you with the best mentality, and harvesting the inner leisure.
Say goodbye in a hurry, I don't know when to come again, enthusiastic Gulangyu!
Sixth, seeking immortality by clearing the source.
? The stone carvings in Quanzhou are very famous. It is the hometown of stone carvings. There are dazzling sculptures on both sides of the road, including Guanyin statue more than ten meters high and small pieces of various stone lions.
Sculptures can be seen everywhere in Chongwu ancient city. Twelve women in Jinling, famous artists of past dynasties, Tang Priest and his disciples looked out at the sea on the beach. The master sculpture in the exhibition hall is even more exquisite, which attracted a group of us to stand in front of the sculpture and think about how to carve out the effect of the inner and outer four layers.
Chongwu ancient city has a history of thousands of years, and the scenery of Haimen is also accompanied by the grandeur of the ancient city. Imagine that for thousands of years, soldiers have been guarding the border and fighting bloody battles. People today feel a lot. This is also the dividing line between the East China Sea and the South China Sea, on which CCTV's marine weather is based, which is a very important geographical symbol.
The life of the residents of the ancient city is as usual. From the outside, every family has something to offer. On rainy days, the stone road is not slippery. In the narrow passage, pedestrians and electric cars can only cross. It can be seen that living conditions have improved a lot. The terrazzo and tile floor at the door are clean and beautiful, but some people still keep the wooden window lattice, which is narrow and dark, and they dare not pry it at will.
It was raining in Mao Mao, and we ran all the way to Qingyuan Mountain. Get off at Tianhu scenic spot on the top of the mountain and go all the way down the mountain. The unique Tianhu is shaped like a half moon. One side of the stone bridge is a deep forest, and the other side near the mountain is Tianhu. The lake is clean and clear, and the koi fish in the lake is clearly visible. After swimming to the shore, I found that it now weighs six or seven kilograms. One lake and one fish keep the natural peace.
When we went down the mountain, it began to rain heavily. In order to witness Laojun Mountain as soon as possible, we chose a path. Who knows, we met many intersections without signposts, sometimes going up the mountain and sometimes down the mountain. The difficulty and fatigue of walking, coupled with difficult choices, made him feel extremely confused. As I walked, I thought, is it because I am not sincere today? Why is it so difficult to go down the mountain?
Fortunately, victory will be difficult in the end. After more than an hour, we finally went down the mountain. The old gentleman is tall and peaceful, with his back against the green hills and overlooking the distance. From a distance, his wisdom is infinite, and his smile is profound. There were no eyes when the statue was made, but Lao Tzu had a pair of bright eyes that could overlook everything in the world. In front of thinkers, ordinary people can only bow down and worship, and hope that infinite wisdom will spread benefits and let more people gain wisdom, understand the meaning of life and live an ordinary life.
Standing in front of this old gentleman, I can't remember a word in the Tao Te Ching. What a shame. In front of the square, there is the full text of Tao Te Ching written by Zhao Mengfu, which is engraved on a square stone tablet. The great calligrapher Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy is vigorous, correct and powerful. When I came to Fuzhou, I felt that there was too little reading and research on calligraphy and seal cutting. Everywhere I go, I only see the scenery, and the historical and literary origins behind it are mostly unknown. This kind of sightseeing can be seen as opening a door and deepening the understanding of history and culture.
? Master Hongyi died in Qingyuan Mountain, where there was a stupa. Reading his life, the younger generation can't comment on the master's life experience. I only hope that the master with perfect practice will rest in this fairy mountain.
? A day to find immortality, Qingyuan Mountain is lush, the environment is quiet, and the mountains and rivers are the same. I have been thinking about the practice of the ancients. In such a quiet place, people and mountains and rivers should be easily enlightened. However, it is the immortal's practice to have the heart of cultivation and stay away from human fireworks all the year round. Ordinary people occasionally seek longevity, and people with lofty ideals practice for life.
Seven, Minnan cuisine
? If you swim in southern Fujian, you must eat in southern Fujian. There are many small shops in the street, which is the world of street snacks. In the first week, I couldn't wait to try the fish, pot edge and oyster cake that Minnan people often eat. Seafood is really fresh and doesn't taste right. The stomach has memory. Although the stomach of northwest people is not resistant to seafood, it is really hard to see if it is not spicy or fishy. The food here is light and sweet, and the famous litchi meat is a typical dessert.
I was not very interested in pork. After I came here to become a staple food, bamboo shoots and pork buns, steamed dumplings, meat swallows and sparerib soup all tasted delicious. Especially the sparerib soup, add some corn, the soup is sweet and fragrant, the soup is light in color, and it is delicious with a few scallops.
Meat swallow and fish balls are the most common snacks in southern Fujian. The seafood here is rich, the fish balls are tender and soft, and the meat swallows are delicious and crisp. Locals usually use a bowl of meat swallow or fish ball soup with noodles, and eat noodles while drinking soup. The reason why I don't try to match is that noodles without any seasoning are so different from pasta in the north, so when I walk into the store, I always drink soup with peace of mind.
Coastal cities are the richest in seafood. I was going to buy seafood and cook it myself, but I didn't reach the plan. Finally, I realized this at a party in a famous local seafood restaurant. Drink a bowl of old duck soup with vermicelli before meals. There are many kinds of seafood. It's the first time to rinse seafood. The bottom material is a pot of water, and all kinds of seafood are rinsed, which is delicious. Eating seafood in the inland city of my hometown is a better meal, while eating seafood in the coastal city is fresh and delicious, and the taste will never be forgotten.
Write at the end:
The long journey is an unforgettable memory. Write it down and leave it in the text. Every time you open it, you will always remember the scenery and people you walked together. The heat and heavy rain in summer are not kind to people who want to see the scenery. At that time, the annoyance and various discomforts, after the precipitation of time, will become an experience of blending scenes. I experienced it personally, leaving only the feelings at that time. Look at the mountains and rivers, and you will eventually return to familiar places. This peace of mind is my hometown.
