From Ningbo not far away, to the ancient niche Quanzhou, and then to the warm Guangzhou, each place has its own flavor and can see different people. These three cities not only have mysterious legends and wonderful scenery, but also have accumulated rich cultural heritage. What they have in common is food!
Ningbo is a low-key but unique treasure.
Facing this harbor city with profound heritage, we will continue to explore and enjoy the mysterious celadon and distant civilization along the Maritime Silk Road. Wandering in Dewali, an ancient city with blue bricks, I was addicted to Hengjin Line, one of the most beautiful mountain roads in Cixi, and went fishing by Dongqian Lake. I sang late and stole a few days. .....
Guobao Temple, a famous temple in ancient temples, has a profound study on the spread of Buddhism.
Ningbo Guobao Temple can be described as a history of ancient architecture integrating Han, Tang, Song, Ming, Qing and Republic of China. It is not famous for offering sacrifices to gods, but for its exquisite architectural techniques; Asoka Temple is the only existing ancient temple named after the Indian Asoka Temple in China, and its uniqueness lies in the stupa inside the temple.
There are towering old trees and ancient inscriptions everywhere in the temple, which are simple and solemn and complement the vast mountains and rivers; Tiantong Temple is near Asoka Temple, where ginkgo has a unique flavor in early winter.
Dongqian Lake, you can enjoy the lakes and mountains not far from the urban area.
Dongqian Lake is in the city, but it has the most beautiful lakes, mountains and ancient villages. There are amazing hot springs in autumn and winter, which is an indispensable holiday resort in Ningbo. There are lakes and mountains that don't lose Qiandao Lake, but the traffic is much more convenient than Qiandao Lake. It only takes 3 hours to come to Shanghai, driving around the lake and chasing a dreamy sunset. Although Dongqian Lake is not a sea, it has the natural advantage of experiencing sea navigation, and its sails are swaying, which has also become a highlight of Dongqian Lake's beautiful lake scenery fashion movement.
Cixi Hengjin Line, self-driving in the most beautiful mountain line.
In Cixi, Ningbo, there is a local called "the most beautiful mountain line"-the horizontal ridge line, an ancient village scattered among towering trees, an ancient building with white walls and tiles, and lakes and mountains like Alice's fairyland. Connecting Shanglin Lake Yueyao Site, Tongjiaao Hemudu Site, Heming Ancient Town, etc. , winding for dozens of kilometers, surrounded by mountains and waters. There are hiking trails, fish ponds and tea gardens nearby.
Taste the delicious food on the ground:
You Zanzi, Ningbo people have a special liking.
Youzanzi is a traditional food in Ningbo. It looks and tastes like a twist, with salty and sweet flavors, while seaweed strips are salty and oily, which can be said to be a must in Ningbo. In order to eat oil praise, we have to queue up early, which shows that Ningbo people love to eat. Twist and ghee Ciba have been famous in the streets and lanes since very early.
Duck and dog, this jiaozi has a strange name.
The taste of Ningbo people is either salty or sweet. Speaking of sweet glutinous rice, it is Ningbo Tangyuan. When it comes to Ningbo dumplings, the first thing that comes to mind is jars, ducks and dogs. The name is very strange, but it has long been compiled into the Ningbo proverb, "You have to eat glutinous rice balls' jars, ducks and dogs' when you are in the middle of the night." Lard dumplings are the treasure of the town store, the size of bayberry, and you can only eat one at a time.
Ningbo rice cakes are unpretentious and have many ways to eat.
In addition to glutinous rice balls, Ningbo's rice cakes are actually quite famous, among which "Cicheng Rice Cake" is the most famous. Ningbo's rice cake culture is much deeper than other places in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The most common way to eat rice cakes is to make soup and stir-fry slices, such as fried rice cakes with white crabs and shepherd's purse. Slightly refined, used for a long time, and baked rice cakes are usually cooked in a large pot and taste soft and fragrant.
Quanzhou authentic Minnan customs and tastes.
Quanzhou is not as famous as Fuzhou in the north. After all, it is also an old city, and people are provincial capitals. Quanzhou is not as attractive as Xiamen in the south. After all, it is also a seaside, and Xiamen seems more romantic. However, Quanzhou, as the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, has an unrepeatable history. Over time, it has become the most tasteful cultural ancient city in this land. The well-preserved buildings here still show a strong old-fashioned style. In this seaside town, which is not disturbed by tourists, the coastline, one of the "eight most beautiful coasts in China", stretches here.
The old town of Zhongshan Road in Quanzhou meets the old buildings.
"The whole city is full of southern Fujian red", which is an amazing impression that everyone who comes to Quanzhou for the first time will have. In the old city west of Zhongshan Road, red houses are quietly bathed in sunshine, and local residents ride motorcycles and casually walk through the streets. This is a kind of leisure that can only be cultivated by living in the vicissitudes of history. No city is more suitable for walking than Quanzhou. Although the marine civilization in the Middle Ages is no longer brilliant, the complex carvings on ancient buildings slowly and silently tell passers-by about the glory of the past.
Quanzhou Art Museum sees local operas.
Just as Beijingers are obsessed with Peking Opera and Suzhou people often recite Kunqu Opera, Nanyin is an indelible habit for Quanzhou people. In addition to Nanyin, one of the oldest existing music schools in China, you can also go to Quanzhou Art Museum to see a national puppet show, or go to Weiyuan Building to see all kinds of puppet shows, or go to Liyuan Ancient Theatre to see Liyuan Opera, which is called the living fossil of ancient Nanxi. No matter which one you choose, in the leisurely afternoon, bring a pot of familiar Tieguanyin flavor and taste the unique charm of Quanzhou in the lyrics of Yiya.
The most beautiful coastlines are Xisha Bay, Huinv, the ancient city and the Blue Coast.
It takes more than an hour to drive from Quanzhou downtown to Xisha Bay, Hui 'an County. I never thought that I seemed to be in Cape No.7: surrounded by the sea on three sides. At noon, I saw the magnificent scenery of "Surging waves lapping on the shore and rolling up thousands of piles of snow", and at night, it was poetic and picturesque with "Sunset and lonely Qi Fei, autumn waters are the same color", but the sea at night was even more charming because of its tranquility.
Anxi Yue Quan Pavilion, between Zen tea, hidden in the city.
Speaking of Anxi Tea Town, I want to drive straight to Anxi Yue Quan Pavilion hidden between mountains and rivers, soak in the "tea hot spring", and then ask the hotel personal assistant to customize a trip to Chashan. The pavilion belongs to members of luxury boutique hotels all over the world, with the theme of Zen culture. The Huizhou architecture in the villa department is antique, and the beauty of nature is everywhere. After staying in the courtyard, you can feel the sound of nature lingering in your ears, which makes people fascinated.
Taste the delicious food on the ground:
Meat dumplings, a feast of land, sea and air.
When it comes to Quanzhou cuisine, we always talk about Hou Apo's meat stuffing jiaozi. Some people bought a pile of jiaozi with minced meat after coming to Quanzhou, wrapped it in sauce and took it home to taste with their families. Three layers of meat, pork belly, eggs and mushrooms are the standard of Minnan meat dumplings. These carefully prepared delicacies are wrapped in golden glutinous rice, and there is probably nothing richer and fuller than the zongzi stuffing in Quanzhou. Eating the next one will be super satisfying.
You can eat beef soup three times a day.
It is no exaggeration to say that there are the most beef snack bars in Quanzhou, Fujian Province. The reason why beef is so popular in the whole state is also one of the symbols of Hayes. Beef soup, the soup contains rich beef flavor, and there are thin shredded ginger in the soup. The two flavors are mixed together, fragrant but not greasy, and the taste is twice as good.
Bread paste is a well-deserved representative food.
The batter is delicious, sweet and smooth, and it is the most common traditional snack around Quanzhou people. Many Quanzhou people usually find a place to sit down for breakfast, cut the fried dough sticks into pieces, soak them in soup until soft, and then drink them thinly. Just the right concentration rolled down my throat. At this time, the wind outside was a little cold in the morning, but it really warmed up.
The beautiful scenery and delicious food in Guangzhou.
Feel the unique charm of Lingnan culture in the gourmet capital.
My first impression of Guangzhou can be the old days of xiguan big house, the freshness of Dongshan Mansion and the modern prosperity of Tianhe CBD. Moreover, this city, which is famous for its food, will find different surprises whether it is a hotel, a big teahouse, a high-class restaurant or an old brand hidden in a corner. Here, Lingnan culture has been brought into full play. Here, you can appreciate the historical charm of Nanfeng ancient stove and feel the distant story of Huangpu ancient port.
Baiyun Mountain waits for sunset to see the night scene.
Baiyun Mountain, which has been one of the "Eight Scenes of Yangcheng" since ancient times, is the best choice for local people to climb high and look far. The height of more than 300 meters can give a panoramic view of the whole city. Another example is Liede Bridge, which is the favorite location of many photographers. The panoramic view of the small waist line can be considered perfect. Walking from flower city square to Liede Bridge, the invincible river view is just around the corner, waiting for the sun to set and the lights to light up. The city of Guangzhou, under the bright lights, exudes infinite charm.
The provincial Zhongshan Library is a century-old cultural heritage of Guangzhou.
Guangzhou always gives people the impression of fast food culture, but the Zhongshan Library in the old city of Guangzhou is showing you the cultural details of the city. The age of 103 determines its "old appearance", formerly known as "Nanyuan", a scenic spot in Yangcheng in the Ming Dynasty, and later the Guangya Bookstore Library in the Qing Dynasty. Antique is its adjective, surrounded by ancient trees and green grass, covered with bricks in the style of the Republic of China. There are more than six million books in the museum, which is rich in books. Watch an exhibition, listen to a speech and watch a movie, and you will have a new understanding of the library and Guangzhou.
The Huangpu ancient port, which witnessed Hayes' prosperity, still hides many delicious foods.
Speaking of Huangpu ancient port, many people think it is in Huangpu District, but it is actually hidden in Huangpu Village, Haizhu District. In the past, Huangpu Ancient Port witnessed the prosperity of the Maritime Silk Road, bearing the glory of Guangzhou's Millennium business capital, and still retains a strong Lingnan water town style and the charm of Sino-foreign exchanges. Although Huangpu ancient port is an antique place with profound cultural heritage, its food and snacks are even more attractive. Jiang Buyi, a milkmaid in Gugang, a stone-based grandfather, a cat and boat porridge, and ancient Hong Kong people make foodies flock to them.
Hailing Island is one of the top ten most beautiful islands selected by chinese national geography.
Besides Guangzhou, there are many good places around, such as Hailing Island, which is more than 300 kilometers away from Guangzhou. Here is the beautiful scenery of Shili Silver Beach. You can go out to sea by boat and harvest an extremely fresh food with smiling fishermen. You can set up the oven and watch the charcoal fire and sunset slowly reflect the shrimp into a reddish taste; Or simply set up a tent, lean on the spacious carriage, wait quietly for the romantic moon and stars, and imagine the future time, lying in the tent with the stars.
Gourmet: The Philosophy of Morning Tea and Sighing Tea
Guangzhou people's day begins with "sighing" morning tea. A word "sigh" is really inexhaustible. In Cantonese, sighing means enjoying. In Guangzhou, White Swan Hotel is a must. Although the per capita consumption is not low, it will be worth the money. Traditional delicacies and exquisite artistic shapes meet in this restaurant with a view of the Pearl River. A simple preserved egg and lean meat porridge, the rice porridge is smooth and soft, the shredded pork is delicate and gentle, and it melts in the mouth.
Wonton Noodles, you should also pay attention to a bowl of noodles.
The noodles in Guangzhou are exquisite, and they must be made of bamboo and silver. The wonton must be of moderate thickness, the yolk must be thick, and the soup base must be cooked. This is a bowl of excellent noodles. It's really hard for Laoguang to eat, and it's rare to have this kind of pleasure.
Rice rolls, Lao Guang's food complex
People in Guangzhou have a rice rolls complex, so everyone should order a meal. Most of the shops in rice rolls are simple and simple, because all the efforts are spent on craftsmanship, regardless of whether the eating environment is high-grade. The roadside shops are the most convincing, with thin skin and fragrant stuffing. It's really satisfying to take a dip in the sauce.
The different customs of these three cities, the preserved historical sites, the smell of streets and lanes, and the surprise of driving on the road all give us the motivation to explore the beauty of the city, and this spirit coincides with Ford explorers: only by constantly exploring can we enjoy the fun of life; Only by constantly starting can we awaken more possibilities.
