In ordinary life, the morning light is dim, the sun is shining, the sun is clear, and a beautiful day begins. In 2022, a new journey and a new starting point, we followed the seventh-generation Elantra's pursuit of light in the New Year and happily came to Jinhua, Zhejiang.
Jinhua, known as Wuzhou in ancient times, has a history of more than 2,200 years and has countless places of interest. The Confucian culture contained in "Wuzhou Nankong" has a long history and far-reaching influence. Jinhua has been a city that has been active on the tip of the tongue since ancient times. From the cook Wu Shi Guangji in the Song Dynasty to the great comedian Li Yu cooking delicacies around the stove in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Jinhua people have used their keen taste buds to dialogue with the food. Turn the essence of Wuzhou culture into delicious Chinese food.
The most pleasant way to taste books and tea
Wu tea can be said to be a clear dream of Wuzhou people. By the side of Deer Girl Lake, a stretch of green tea mountains has been silent for thousands of years. Across the shores of Deer Girl Lake and through Juyan Tea Mountain, you will find Deer Field Academy deep in the jungle. The academy was first built in the Song Dynasty and was overhauled at the end of the Qing Dynasty. For thousands of years, it has served as a lecture venue for famous teachers of Wu Studies, conducted rituals, and collected books. It has also become an important distribution center for the long-standing Wu Studies culture. Whenever the smart and solemn chimes sound, the Confucian scholars give lectures and write strokes, and the gentlemen are tired of studying, it is the time when the fragrance of tea is refreshing. Therefore, Lutian Academy has had the "two specialties of calligraphy and tea" since ancient times, and couples are made in heaven.
At the foot of the stretch of green tea mountains, the handsome seventh-generation Elantra blends with the stunning natural scenery to form a harmonious and beautiful picture. The design of the seventh-generation Elantra is inspired by nature and attracts attention with its unique coupe style. The psychedelic light and shadow make it more fashionable and dynamic. At the same time, the entire vehicle also uses a large number of textured parametric shapes and geometric graphic elements. Every detail such as the face, headlights, and waistline is accurately interpreted to create an extraordinary sense of movement. When the wedge-shaped LED daytime running lights are turned on, they are like a pair of bright "eyes", echoing the beautiful H-shaped through-type taillights front and rear, with a sharp look, and paired with fashionable details such as the parametric gem front grille, making the whole The car shines with full edge.
Visiting Yuyuan Taiji Star Village is the most mysterious
Yuyuan Taiji Star Village is an ancient residential complex in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province. It is a historical and cultural reserve in Zhejiang Province and one of the four major attractions in Jinhua. one. There are many places of interest in the village, which were designed and built by Liu Bowen, the founding counselor of the Ming Dynasty, according to the arrangement of celestial bodies and stars. Nowadays, Yuyuan has not undergone large-scale tourism development. It is primitive and simple, and there are not many tourists. The Shengyuan Hall, Yu Family Ancestral Hall, and some old houses in the village have exquisite carvings and are worth a visit.
When entering the scenic spot, you will first pass through an ancient forest, many of which are six hundred years old. On one side of the woods, an S-shaped stream flows slowly. Viewed from a height, the open space here and the rice fields on the other side form a huge Tai Chi diagram. The fish eyes are respectively a sunken circular pit and a towering circular Shape of trees. Yuyuan Village has profound cultural heritage and a close integration of cultural landscape and natural landscape. It is a classic relic of the ancient ecology of "harmony between man and nature" and a tourist attraction for ancient exploration and leisure.
Exploring a "paradise" like Yuyuan Village, the efficient and excellent power performance of the seventh-generation Elantra can be fully demonstrated. It is equipped with Hyundai Smartstream's new generation power system, providing two types of power: 1.5L and 240T GDi. The vehicle that accompanies us this time is powered by the Kappa 240T GDi high-power engine, which has been awarded the title of Ward's Top Ten Engines. It has a maximum power of 103kW and a maximum torque of 211N·m. It is matched with a 7DCT transmission and the power output is efficient and smooth.
At the same time, under the optimization of Hyundai Motor’s third-generation technology platform i-GMP, the geometry of the seventh-generation Elantra’s suspension has been completely optimized, and heavier accessories such as powertrain and batteries have been integrated Moving to the center of the car body makes the weight ratio between the front and rear of the car body more balanced, and moves the installation position downward to obtain a lower center of gravity of the vehicle, so the vehicle's handling performance is greatly improved. Facing non-paved roads in the suburbs, the seventh-generation Elantra is no problem at all, even if it encounters mountain road curves, it can handle it with ease.
Eating Jinhua delicacies is the best way to satisfy your cravings
In China, almost every city has a special snack street, such as Zengcuo'an in Xiamen, Hefang Street in Hangzhou, and Fuzi in Nanjing Temple, Hubu Lane in Wuhan... and Xichun Lane in Jinhua. Xichun Alley can be called the "Cake Street". Both sides of the approximately 100-meter-long bluestone lane are almost entirely filled with stalls selling cakes. The air is also filled with the rich aroma of fireworks and wheat. It is definitely a paradise for foodies.
The famous Jinhua ham and Jinhua shortbread are also worth trying. Jinhua ham is famous for its "four unique features" in color, aroma, taste and shape. The freshly baked shortbread tastes first-class, which added to the taste of our trip.
Jinhua Food Street is crowded with outsiders and crowded with cars, making it difficult to drive around. Fortunately, the seventh-generation Elantra is equipped with the Hyundai SmartSense safety system, which comes in handy at this moment. This system has 23 ADAS configurations, the most in its class, and can handle congested urban roads with ease. When changing lanes, the seventh-generation Elantra's BCA blind spot collision avoidance assist can predict the risk of collision with vehicles in the side and rear blind spots, issue prompts in time, and can apply emergency braking if necessary. In addition, there is also the SEW safe exit reminder function that can predict risks in advance to prevent the occurrence of "open door killing" and make people safe and worry-free when walking around the streets.
Thousand-year-old Wuzhou Prefecture and the long-lasting Jinhua City. Walking in the streets and alleys of this small town in the south of the Yangtze River, as far as the eye can see, there are simple and clean roads, or sycamores lined the road, or ginkgo trees standing like a guard of honor to form a landscape. The dense shade of the trees quietly shows that despite the age of this land, But still looks youthful. In the early morning, the small town woke up to the warmth of the early sun, nourishing a very vivid daily life of fireworks. Together with the seventh-generation Elantra, we felt the beautiful life in this happy city.
