The best time to travel The best time to see the autumn scenery in Siming Mountain is 1 1 mid-February. Generally speaking, there are plenty of things to play and see.
Take a weekend to arrange a trip to go on road trip for 2 days 1 night to experience the charming autumn in the mountains of Zhejiang ~
In the introduction of scenic spots, it seems that Siming Mountain, which is only in Yuyao, actually spans Yuyao, Haishu and Fenghua in Ningbo, Shengzhou and Shangyu in Shaoxing, and even the main peak is in Shengzhou, but the relatively mature scenic spots are indeed concentrated in Yuyao.
Siming Mountain has a large area and many places to play, and the scenic spots suitable for visiting in each season are different!
For example, in the spring, I came to Siming Mountain to enjoy the flowers, and the first 10,000 mu of cherry blossoms became the Shangmagang of "Siming Small Kyoto";
In the four famous towns where the average temperature is 8℃ lower than the urban temperature in summer, almost every village below has rafting to play.
It's not that Lei Lei, an "autumn lover", is boasting. Autumn must be the most beautiful season in Siming Mountain.
Every time I come to Siming Mountain at this time, it is like breaking into a fairyland without enchantment. After all, Siming Mountain, as one of the largest production bases of red maple in China, is not a hollow reputation.
If you drive in autumn, you can focus on the places with lush vegetation and villages with strong autumn. I recommend this way:
Siming Lake → Liangnong Ancient Town → Shilin Village → Maoyong Ancient Village → Tea Culture Village → Hongfeng Valley → Siming Mountain Forest Park.
Arranging a 2-day 1 night trip in this way is not only on the way, but also the scenery types are different and the rhythm is not too hard. The essence of Siming Mountain in autumn is here.
Siming Lake
Admission: Free.
The most photogenic scenery of Siming Lake in autumn must be the aquatic redwood forest of Siming Lake.
This tall and scattered sequoia forest is not a typical Metasequoia, and most of them are Taxodium ascendens planted in the 1950s.
Walking along the hundreds of meters long shoreline, the rich orange and orange are intertwined, and occasionally egrets fly in, blowing the lake and branches together, which really makes people unable to stop pressing the shutter.
In the middle of the lake, there is also a Yutu Island named after it looks like a little rabbit. The Taxodium ascendens on the island is also dyed in layers of forest, which will be especially effective if you bring a small plane for aerial photography.
You can't go to the island, but you can walk in the nearby meadow and get in close contact with fir trees.
The water in the reservoir is quite clean, which can perfectly print the blue sky and white clouds. The orange-red crown on the top of the towering Taxodium ascendens is still dazzling red even if the temperature turns cold and the surrounding scenery is gradually bleak.
Siming Lake Reservoir is a first-class drinking water source protection area, so you must travel in a civilized way to protect the water source ~
Liangnong ancient town
Admission: Free.
Out of Siming Lake, it is the market of Liangnong Ancient Town in Yuyao.
Liangnong is the center of the anti-Japanese base area in eastern Zhejiang, so it is also called "Little Yan 'an in eastern Zhejiang". Historically, it is also an important post station on the road of Tang poetry in eastern Zhejiang, with 99 winding alleys and flowing water. The ancient town itself has a long history of 1000 years.
There are still many cultural and historical contents to see in Lianglong, and many primary and middle school students in Ningbo will also arrange to come here in the spring and autumn.
If time is tight, you don't have to spend too much time in Lianglong. After all, the ancient town is easy to see and autumn colors are rare.
There are many tourist-oriented shops in the old street, and the price is not expensive, especially the representative Lianglong cake, which can be bought to satisfy your appetite on the road.
Get out of Liangnong Ancient Town and drive on Provincial Highway 33, and the autumn scenery is good all the way ahead. The winding highway extends along the autumn scenery at the foot of the mountain, and it has been published in National Geographic Magazine with its steep and wonderful scenery along the way.
But be careful not to look at the scenery and be fascinated. The difficulty of S33' s180 continuous card bending is a bit like "a famous mountain in small autumn". Even old drivers dare not take it lightly, so they must drive carefully. ?
Yang' eling
Admission: Free.
When the vehicle drives to the Dalan section, it will pass by Yangeling Mountain, a very famous place to see the sea of clouds in Siming Mountain. Especially when the water vapor is sufficient in the morning, the misty mountain fog permeates the jungle on the hill, which is a real "paradise on the fog".
Below the observation deck of Yangeling is a dream combination of "mountains, roads, tea gardens and houses". Although there is no tea available this season, the rolling sea of clouds still makes Siming Mountain attractive.
On the way to Yang 'erling, there is a hairpin bend with a high appearance rate. Here, there is a cabin on the roadside. It is even more beautiful with the dreamy sea of clouds in Yangeling!
Shilin village
Tickets: Shilin Village is in Chishui Scenic Area of Danshan, and you need tickets to 80 yuan.
In the hinterland of Siming Mountain, there is a poetic persimmon forest village. Although there is no redwood maple forest, it is also booming this season because it is rich in persimmons. The locals call persimmons "hanging red", which is really a special image ~
Surrounded by mountains, the village of persimmon forest is small, with more than 300 households, but it is surrounded by hundreds of acres of persimmon forest. There is a "persimmon king" at the head of the village, which is over 600 years old and the same age as the village. It is also a wild landmark in Shilin Village.
In the hearts of local people, hanging red represents a good omen. Every time persimmon is ripe, the round hanging red is like a small lantern hanging on a high branch, which is very cute.
The villagers in Shilin Village will take out the endless persimmons and make them into persimmon wine. When opening the jars, the air is full of ripe persimmons in Zui Xiang, Zui Xiang, so you can taste them once or twice.
Shilin Village is located in Chishui Scenic Area of Danshan. After visiting Shilin Village, you can also take a walk here. The red leaves all over the mountains are also very beautiful.
There are many small restaurants and pubs in Shilin Village. You can have lunch here at noon.
Maozhong ancient village
Admission: Free.
Leave Danshan Chishui, and then drive down along S33, which is an ancient village and then another ancient village.
Each village has different customs and cultures, which are more beautiful than autumn colors. Then it must be nominated as "the first ancient tree village in eastern Zhejiang".
Around Maozhong Village is a large group of ancient trees over 400 years old, with more than 100 trees, including ginkgo, pine, maple and torreya grandis. The colors of red, yellow, green and green are charming and gorgeous, and sometimes there are clouds to add beauty.
Walking in Maozhong Village, there are golden leaves everywhere on the village path and the roof in front of the hospital, but not all of them come from ginkgo biloba.
One of the most famous ancient trees in the village is Jin Qiansong, which is called "the crown of ten thousand trees". It is over 500 years old, and the volume of trees around and standing trees is the highest in the country. Even if it is precious, its face value can definitely be regarded as "four bright and one unique skill"!
Because of geological disasters and other reasons, the aborigines of Maoyong Village have moved the whole village for many years, and now Maoyong Village is rebuilt on the original basis. The arrival of tourists every autumn also makes this ancient village, which is gradually deserted, regain its vitality.
Hongfenggu, Lizhou Village
Admission: Free.
As a famous "hometown of red leaves", Hongfeng Valley in Lizhou Village is a microcosm of Siming Mountain.
The center of the four famous towns is Lizhou Village. Every autumn, Hongfeng Valley in Lizhou Village is the most popular star attraction. At first glance, the Hongfeng Forest with a scale of 10,000 mu is quite shocking. When the autumn wind blows, it blows red.
It is not enough for the red maple forest to turn red. When the temperature difference between day and night continues to increase, the maple leaves will be painted with beautiful orange red layer by layer.
The most beautiful time for the red leaves is during the period of 1 1 late month-1early February, that is, when they are about to fall, that is the "big scene" of the mountains.
Chapei village
Admission: Free.
Chapei Village is the closest village to Xikou in Siming Town, and it is also the only way to drive in Siming Mountain.
Although cars come and go here every day, in autumn, many drivers are willing to stop to see the scenery of Chapei Village.
To be on the safe side, don't park at will on Panshan Highway, please find a suitable place to park ~
From the village to the roadside, Chapei Village is soaked with orange and red everywhere, which makes people feel like they are in Traveling in a pictorial world. There is a small stream in front of the village, and it runs to the foot of the mountain with a stream of autumn colors.
Food recommendation Yuyao is a small county town with "magical physique", and it is especially good at economic development (the top 100 counties in China ranked 12 last year, and Zhejiang ranked second). The happiness of living here is particularly strong (it has been listed as "the happiest county-level city in China" for 9 times), which is really enviable!
In fact, Siming Mountain alone has been very full in one weekend (it is not recommended to arrange the trip very nervously by car). If you want to extend the holiday for another day, you don't have to go anywhere else. After all, the delicious Yuyao is even for people who live in Ningbo.
After enjoying the autumn scenery, how can Yuyao's hospitality make you go home with an empty stomach?
1 noodle restaurant Ningbo cuisine is all-encompassing, but Yuyao is the most fierce place to eat noodles.
In a small county town, nearly 800 noodle restaurants can be found on the review website alone. Even if you eat one every day, you can't eat it for two years. Especially the famous "Yuyao Yellow Croaker Noodles", you can lose your eyebrows as soon as you go down with chopsticks!
Heji noodles
Address: No.0/40, North binjiang road/KLOC, Yuyao, Ningbo (next to Chunqiu Travel Agency)
Although the branch has been open for many years, I still think this old shop in North binjiang road, which has been open for more than 20 years, is more interesting.
The business of the old shop is very good, even if it is not a meal, it will take almost ten or twenty minutes to sit down.
As a time-honored brand recognized by Yuyao locals as affordable and delicious, Heji's signature yellow croaker noodle is really cost-effective. There are two small yellow croaker in the bowl, fried on both sides, which looks very good.
The fish is fragrant, the meat is tender and smooth, and the soup is rich and mellow. Only by meeting these three standards can it be regarded as a qualified Yuyao yellow croaker noodle.
Songlan noodles
Address: No.24-38 Chang 'an Road, Yuyao, Ningbo
Songlan noodle restaurant is also a popular time-honored brand. It is opened on the edge of the old community. Both the old residents who are used to eating and the tourists who come here will be moved by Songlan's sincere materials for ten years.
Their yellow croaker noodles are 60 yuan a bowl, and the price is moderate. Two yellow croaker noodles are longer than the noodle bowl, and they can drink all the slightly spicy and sweet soup bases on the noodles.
The popularity of turtle noodles in the store is also very high, 120 a bowl, and a whole turtle covers the whole bowl on the table, which is very strong visually!
Xiandelai restaurant
Address: No.0/97, South binjiang road, Yuyao, Ningbo.
Yuyao yellow croaker noodle restaurant can be described as blooming everywhere. This restaurant is rare and has a "Jianghu status"-it started from a breakfast shop 40 years ago and gradually became bigger and stronger with a bowl of yellow croaker noodles. The boss's son took over the store and kept the original taste.
In the past, there were many big bosses who came to Yuyao to do business. The most popular thing was to order a bowl of yellow croaker noodles with a cup of green tea, which is a bit like ordering three-story tower afternoon tea in a star-rated hotel. What you eat is all fashionable.
The three bowls of signboards in the store, including yellow croaker noodles, river shrimp noodles and turtle noodles, all test their skills.
The price of a rare bowl of noodles is expensive in Yuyao. Yellow croaker noodles have increased according to the market price of yellow croaker, ranging from the early 100 s to 300+. Fortunately, with good materials, yellow croaker is much larger than others, at least it makes people feel that it is expensive but profitable.
There are not many side dishes, but they are delicious. It is highly recommended that the oil-fried river shrimp, which is rare, has a strong sauce flavor, and old customers refuse to miss it every time they come.
2 "Cow Flavor" and "Cow Flavor" seem to be the unique food of Yuyao people: all parts of the cow can be finely divided into cold dishes or served with hot staple food, in short, it is a bowl that slams the soul of every Yuyao person's taste buds late at night.
There are at least 500 cow-flavored restaurants in Yuyao, large and small. You may have never heard of cow-flavored restaurants before you came here. Once you get cow-flavored in your mouth and don't eat it once or twice a week, I'm really sorry for this mouth that claims to be a foodie.
A Zhen Niu Wei
Address: No.92, Xinjian North Road, Yuyao, Ningbo
Ah Zhen Niu Wei was originally opened near the old North Station. Now the store is a newly opened old shop, and the environment is much better. At 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning, many people still come to eat Niu Wei, and the business is in a mess.
When regular customers who have eaten for more than ten years come to eat Jane, they usually don't say much. Beef offal comes first, and beef bones are also a must.
Only fresh beef bones are selected every day, and they are put into the secret pot bottom with more than 20 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines and boiled for at least 4 hours, so that the beef made by hard work can ensure the taste, and you can know that it is attractive just by looking at the full bone marrow!
In the past, people in Yuyao could not have breakfast without beef vermicelli. How about ordering a beef offal vermicelli filled with beef, beef veneers, beef heart tubes and umbrella bags? Serve the casserole that is still boiling on the table until it is still steaming, and your hands and feet are warm after eating in winter.
A Guo Niu Wei
Address: No.229 Dongchao Street, Lizhou Street, Yuyao, Ningbo (No.43 Donghanmen Road)
It seems that the Niuwei restaurant in Yuyao especially likes to bring people's names, and there is a sense of trust in quality assurance by using the boss's name as an endorsement.
This Argo beef restaurant looks like the environment of a fly restaurant, but it has taken 20 years to make a pot of beef flavor with great care, and the taste is not lost to the big restaurant with bright and atmospheric facade.
It took more than 5 hours for the beef flavor to be boiled in the cauldron, and a piece of beef bone was put into the mouth. Juice immediately gushed out from the meat gap, and then the flesh and blood were separated, and the stew was crisp and delicious. Even the soup in the casserole was full of delicious meat flavor.
Order another beef offal platter, which has a uniform and attractive halogen color from the inside out, and the weight is not small, which is very satisfying to eat meat!
A Qiang niuwei
Address:No. Wei Xing Road 146- 148, Yuyao, Ningbo.
A Qiang Niuwei Restaurant is also very famous in Yuyao, especially at night, when I went to A Qiang to order a bowl of beef rice or casserole, my body and mood were cured after a tiring day, and my stomach was comfortable, so I could sleep till dawn.
A Qiang's beef bones are characterized by tendons and bone marrow. Although they are not very friendly to people with bad teeth, many people like their family.
There are also many people who order steak casserole, 25 yuan each, and there are three steaks in it. Carnivores are satisfied!
Add beef flavor to the casserole, grab a handful of vegetables, and make a pot with the staple food vermicelli, rice cake and dried noodles. When the soup is boiling and fragrant, it can be served.
However, A Qiang's taste comments are quite different, which may be that the taste is biased and many young people are not used to it.
3 Yuyao local cuisine Yuyao local cuisine and Ningbo cuisine are not much different in taste. Drunk, marinated, and bad, you can use 18 kinds of martial arts in the kitchen to make such a table that brings together the most delicious food of mountains, rivers and lakes.
A Fang Xiao le hui
Address: No.1 Yijing Lane 12 1- 127, Yuyao, Ningbo.
Xiaolehui, which has been in business for 17 years, has gradually grown from a small storefront, and the menu is full of some home-cooked dishes. Because of its good taste and low price, it has been eaten by many surrounding residents as a "home canteen".
Xiaolehui's aunt is very enthusiastic. No matter whether she is an old diner or a new tourist, she is like greeting her younger generation to dinner at home. There are many kinds of dishes in the food stalls, but it is very reliable to follow the recommendation of aunts and order signature dishes.
A three-fresh soup is a regular dish in many snack shops in Yuyao. Chef Xiaolehui's products have been unanimously recognized by picky diners. Egg dumplings, skin, shrimp, quail eggs, meatballs? The ingredients are particularly rich and simple, but they just make people want to eat them often.
Xinsheng restaurant
Address: No.721Xinjian North Road, Yuyao, Ningbo (near the bus stop)
The new restaurant, which opened in Xinjian North Road with Azhen Niuwei, focuses on the most local home-cooked dishes in Yuyao, and has been cooking for 30 years.
The price of vegetables has been adjusted several times with the price, but many Yuyao people have not changed from snacks to big tastes.
There are several rows of braised and cold dishes in the cold dish room, and it is very attractive to look at the appearance through the glass. Moreover, although the business of Xinsheng Restaurant is very good, the service and serving speed are quite fast, which is also part of the strength of the old store.
If you are used to eating Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, you can order whatever you like on the menu, and basically you won't step on thunder. Roast duck, sour soup bullfrog, salt _ snail razor clam? The old restaurant is really delicious and cheap!
Jianlanyuan restaurant
Address: No.72-18, Sunhang Lane, Yuyao, Ningbo
Jianlan Garden is a bit like a private kitchen. It is opened in the alley of an old residential area. It is still very difficult to "encounter" by yourself, but basically it will be recommended to friends.
The layout of the restaurant is also very "private house", ordering food in the lobby downstairs, and the real place to eat has to go up to the second floor from the back stairs.
This kind of small restaurant that dares to hide so deep wants to taste not much worse. After all, it is hard to find, and it is not allowed to seduce old customers to eat again and again by its taste.
Grilled prunes is a very sought-after specialty. Often, when you go late, you can only see an empty big bowl, as if to say "please come early next time". Other dishes are also remarkable, and the delicious degree is worth taking a taxi to eat.
Although it is a very old autumn scenic spot, you can have new surprises when you go back to Siming Mountain. After all, only this self-driving route has divided 90% of the autumn scenery in Ningbo.
Autumn in Jiangnan is "short and pithy", so hurry up ~
