Huzhou has a history of more than 4,700 years, and it has the silk culture and beauty of Huzhou people.

Nanxun Ancient Town, which has not changed its appearance over the years, the Datang Gong Tea House, which is a leisurely paradise, and the Shanlian Hu Brush Town, which makes a living by making brushes and has been passed down from generation to generation, all make this city diverse and charming.

Today we will introduce the three most representative and distinctive attractions in Huzhou.

Shanlian, a small town in Hubi, is a corner of the Jiangnan water town, with small bridges, flowing water, and beautiful humanities.

This is the birthplace of China's Hubi culture and sericulture culture, and is known as the "Capital of Hubi and Silkworm Flower Holy Land".

Every household in this village can make pens, which has been passed down from generation to generation, with a history of nearly 2,000 years.

"Shan Lian Hu Brush Pen" has a long history and exquisite craftsmanship, and is known as "Hu Ying's skills are the best in the world".

Hubi-making skills were included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists, and Shanlian Town was named the "Hometown of Chinese Folk Culture and Art" by the Ministry of Culture twice in a row.

A museum, a street, a temple, a temple, a factory, and a mountain? The six main bodies of the tourist attraction line are connected in series, and the culture of Hubi is integrated into it. As long as you come here, you will immediately feel like you have poetry in your belly.

If you are full of energy, you can become a great poet with pen and ink.

From Hubi Cultural Center, we went to Hubi Cultural Street for a stroll.

There are 147 shops here, and almost every one of them is a pen maker.

Of course, the most important part is to make a brush by yourself and feel how difficult it is to make a brush through this complicated process.

Of course, the most interesting thing was that we came across a workshop that made lake brushes. Out of curiosity, we walked in and took a look.

This is a small workshop renovated from my own house. A group of seven people are working hard in this small workshop, which is not very bright.

The hands of the aunts that have been soaked in water for a long time are covered with calluses. I don’t know how many times they have done this process day after day.

They were even able to answer our questions proficiently, and the work at hand did not slow down at all. This is the result of years of hard work.

With their simple smiles and persistence day after day, they stick to this intangible cultural heritage that belongs to China and Huzhou.

This kind of skill should be valued, and more people should learn it, pass it on, and carry forward the profoundness of Chinese culture.

When remembering the ancient town of Nanxun in the south of the Yangtze River, Nanxun is the most memorable.

There are not many scenic spots in Nanxun and they are relatively concentrated. They can be roughly divided into three sections: one is the central scenic spot composed of Xiaolianzhuang and Jiayetang Library; the second is the old scenic spot composed of Zhang Shiming's former residence and Liu's Ladder.

The third is the scenic area dominated by Zhang Jingjiang’s former residence and Baijian Building to the east of East Street.

As one of the five famous gardens in Nanxun, Xiaolianzhuang is not to be missed.

This place is also known as "Liu Garden" and is the private garden of Liu Yong, the leader of the "Four Symbols" of Nanxun in the late Qing Dynasty. The photo on the Nanxun Ancient Town ticket we got was taken here.

Adjacent to Xiaolianzhuang across the river is the "Jiaye Hall Library", known as one of the three largest private libraries in China.

This was established by the grandson of Liu Yong. Emperor Puyi of the Qing Dynasty once presented Qinruo Jiaye with a gold plaque of Nine Dragons, hence its name.

Then it’s time to visit Zhang Shiming’s old residence, also known as Yide Hall. It was a large mansion built by Zhang Hengheng, the grandson of Zhang Songxian, a wealthy man in Jiangnan and one of the Four Elephants of Nanxun.

This can be said to be a rare Feng Shui treasure land. It faces the ancient Xun River in front and faces east. It has a variety of styles and more than 150 rooms that combine Chinese and Western styles. It can definitely be said to be a rare wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River that maintains the historical appearance of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

One of the giant houses, it is also known as "the first private house in Jiangnan".

Liu's ladder has a well-known name, "Red House". This is the residence of Liu An, the third son of Liu Yong, the leader of Nanxun's "Four Symbols".

The overall building is composed of three parts: south, middle and north. The outer wall of the Red House is the most famous place for internet celebrities to check in. It incorporates Roman architectural style, and the combination of Chinese and Western is very classic. The appearance of a typical Jiangnan water town is paired with a Western-style decoration style. There are two

Cultures blend together here, but they don’t seem out of place at all.

The most beautiful building is the Baijian Building. It is said that it was built for the female family servants after Dong Fen, the Minister of Rites in the Ming Dynasty, retired to Nanxun. When it was first built, there were about 100 buildings, which were called "Baijian Building". Local residents still live there today.

of Aboriginal people.

The Tang Tribute Tea Courtyard established a Tribute Tea Courtyard behind Hutou Rock, which was named Guzhu... It belonged to Gu Zhuyuan and built more than 30 thatched cottages from the fifth year of Dali to the sixteenth year of Zhenyuan.

I made tea here and made a quick journey to Beijing during the Qingming Festival.

Datang Gong Tea Garden is located at Hutou Rock on the side of Guzhu Mountain in Changxing County, Zhejiang Province.

It was built in the fifth year of Dali of Tang Dynasty (770).

This tea garden is the first tea processing factory in Chinese history and the first government-run tea garden. It mainly produces the Tang Dynasty tribute tea Purple Bamboo Shoot Tea.

Although it is an antique building, the Tang Dynasty Tribute Tea House is still magnificent.

Lu Yu Pavilion in the middle is slowly ascending from top to bottom along the wooden ladder.
