So, when is the best travel time for Huanglongxi ancient town? Huanglongxi ancient town tourism strategy.
Originally, I came to Huanglongxi ancient town with full expectation. I thought that this town would be like the water towns like Zhouzhuang and Xitang that I have ever been to. Small bridges and flowing water people would roam around the ancient town to feel leisurely and tranquil. However, when I entered Huanglongxi, my first impression was very different from my previous thought!
Huanglongxi ancient town is just like all water towns. A curved river passes through the town. The two sides are typical southern cornice buildings adjacent to each other. Not far from the entrance of Huanglong River, it is a very shallow stream with several small bridges crossing over it. But when I saw the stream, it really shocked me! What's going on?
It turns out that I have only seen the spectacular scene of Beidaihe, Qingdao and other people boiling dumplings in the sea. However, the people in Huanglongxi are no worse than those there. It's really called "human porridge". Only see the stream, everywhere is a family of tourists playing in the water, the density of the crowd is like the festival of Wangfujing, Xidan commercial street, bustling, so I watched for a long time to see the running stream in the crevice! It's all like this in the water. What are the two sides like? I don't think you can imagine that? Only one more word can be added! On the bank, it can't help but be popular with the modern commercial atmosphere. On both sides of the street, there are lots of shops, full of stalls and restaurants, and tourists are crowding with each other and struggling through the narrow gap
If you look at it from a high place, you can hardly tell where the shore is and where the water is. Coupled with the hot sun in the sky, its heat can be imagined. Where is this leisure travel holiday? It's just suffering!! Looking at the buildings of Huanglongxi ancient town, I don't know when they have been renovated. They have no original and simple appearance, let alone "original ecology". There is no sense of the ancient simplicity and tranquility of the ancient town.
In fact, there are some things and snacks worth trying in Huanglongxi. For example, when we arrive at Huanglongxi, we can't miss a special snack. It's Hakka heartbreak jelly. It's named after the complex craft, the spicy pepper seasoning stimulates the snivel and tears, and the more you eat, the more you want to feel sad. A large bowl of bright red, white and green seasoning filled the window. The cook's sister skillfully added all kinds of seasoning to a portion of cold noodles, and our mouth water would flow out. The pallets in the shop are not different. They are big baskets. How interesting. Can you resist the temptation when you see such a situation? At this time, I was hungry in my stomach. I bought a bowl of sad jelly in the sad jelly store, stirred it with chopsticks, and tasted it slowly. It was so spicy that tears came out. It was sad. There were 18 kinds of ingredients in it. The color was ruddy, the fragrance was fragrant, and the taste was delicious. The color, the fragrance and the taste were all drooling when I thought about it & hellip; this trip to Huanglongxi ancient town I'm afraid the most impressive one is the sad jelly.
Huanglongxi's deep old street is winding. There are many small restaurants on both sides of the street. In front of the door, there is a wine flag with a blue background and white characters. Yuxiangzi, lvhuitou and Tangsu shops are dancing in the wind to attract customers. There are many local specialties. There are many kinds of fried tofu, cornmeal, crispy glutinous rice cake, baked sweet potato & hellip; & hellip; not listed.
Huanglongxi scenery is OK, but it has been built in recent years. Three ancient temples, Zhenjiang temple, Chaoyin temple and gulong temple, are still preserved in the town. The temple fairs on the ninth day of June and the ninth day of September of the lunar calendar every year can also reproduce the noisy scenes of the old town. The representative sceneries here are all seven streets and lanes and the banyan trees by the river. The villagers said that they could see the ancient town in half an hour. The six banyan trees in the town are all over a thousand years old, with luxuriant branches and leaves, covering the sky and blocking the sun. They are vigorous and thick, adding a lot of spirit to the ancient town.
On the ancient town, the most distinctive one is its tea house, on both sides of the road, on the riverbank and under the bamboo forest. The bamboo platform, bamboo chair, bamboo stool and colorful sun umbrella unfold in a word, which has become an attractive scenery on the ancient town. Zhenjiang temple, next to the banyan tree in the old wharf, has a tea shop near the river, with more than ten wooden tables and bamboo chairs, in which the tea guests sit in the Longmen formation. It's all the old people over 60 years old. Looking at their clothes and shapes, it's estimated that they are local people or former farmers. The topics they put on surprised me - they are all international events, human development and ecological environment protection! There are many restaurants here, because it's just the meal point, the seats along the river are full, very lively.
