Seeing that the recent hot palace drama "Strategy of Yanxi Palace" is coming to an end, I thought there would be no drama like this before, but unexpectedly "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" was released. It's really exciting! In this TV series,

, we marvel at the acting skills and plot of the actors here, and it is not difficult to find that there are many beautiful scenery here.

"Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" was filmed in many locations. The location I want to talk about today is the Mudu Ancient Town in the south of the Yangtze River. Why should I mention this place alone because Qianlong particularly liked it here.

Legend has it that Qianlong visited Jiangnan six times in one visit, and each time he had to go to Suzhou. So, let’s take a look at the charm of Mudu Ancient Town that attracted Qianlong so much! Mudu Ancient Town is located in the west of Suzhou City, between Taihu Lake

Bin, surrounded by famous mountains in Wuzhong such as Tianping, Lingyan, Shishan and Qizi, some people like to call it "Duchuan", "Xujiang" or "Xiangxi".

1. Introduction to the scenery. The name sounds like an antique place, and in fact it is. The elegant garden atmosphere and classical Chinese beauty make time here slow down.

In Mudu, there are lotus flowers touching the sky in summer with endless green lotus leaves, and in autumn there are frost leaves as red as February flowers.

In Mudu, the paddles are leisurely, and people's footsteps are slow and light. They are neither impatient nor impatient, and it is just comfortable.

Mudu is the place where Qianlong abandoned his boat and landed six times.

He once recited poems and sang harmony with his teacher Shen Deqian here, and played tea and chess with his friend Xu Shiyuan, leaving behind many popular legends.

In Shantang Mudu, there is a quiet and peaceful street named Shantang.

There are countless delicacies and taverns filled with the aroma of wine, as well as the most primitive life hidden in laughter.

In Mudu, Hongyinshanfang, there is a "private palace" of Emperor Qianlong, named Hongyinshanfang.

The door faces the Xiangxi River, and the back is against the Lingyan Rock. "The beauty of the wind and moon in the streams and mountains, and the beauty of the flowers and trees in the ponds and pavilions" are all there.

Yanjia Garden Mudu has a garden with Jiangnan characteristics called Yanjia Garden.

The four gardens of spring, summer, autumn and winter each have their own characteristics and different scenery. The coming autumn colors are very exciting.

In Mudu, you must get up early and climb Lingyan Mountain just to watch the morning light.

Watching the fog disperse from a distance, the morning sun rises, and the warm sunshine coats the ancient town with a layer of gold.

In Mudu, you must find the treasure "hidden" in Lingyan Mountain, which is plain noodles.

The fresh mountain mushrooms, the elegant aroma of the noodles, and the plain noodles live with a heart that yearns for simplicity and simplicity.

In Mudu, you must take advantage of the autumn colors to climb Tianping Mountain.

There are several antique houses, plus the small Fan Family Temple and Baiyun Ancient Temple, and the environment is quiet. If you want to see red maples, the maple trees are at the foot of the mountain.

In mid-to-late November, the maple trees turn truly brilliantly red. The ancient maple forest near the Worry Later and Happy Archway is more than 400 years old, with towering branches and leaves. It is very beautiful when red. The autumn wind rustles down, as if traveling back to ancient times.

2. Delicious black rice. The delicacies of Mudu Ancient Town are famous for black rice and black rice dumplings. On the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, black rice is “cooked by every household and eaten by every household”, which has become a unique scenery.

Date paste, sesame cake, crab apple cake, mutton and lung soup, traditional Su-style pastries. They are small and exquisite, making people salivate.

There are countless glutinous rice rolls, Su-style square cakes, jujube mud pulled cakes, boat pastries, etc.

This place is indeed unique. The food and beautiful scenery always give people a sense of tranquility. Time is like running water and time is like ink. It is such a peaceful feeling to stay here.
