For the impression of Jiangnan, graceful women seem to be unhurried, and the history and culture flow on the Qingshiban Road. Speaking of Hangzhou, it is almost a household name. When it comes to Qiandao Lake, at least 50% of China people have heard of it, but when it comes to the Lion City, relatively few people know it. For the Lion City, the only impression comes from a group of pictures of ancient underwater cities sleeping at the bottom of Qiandao Lake released by National Geographic. Shockingly, many archways, houses and courtyard walls are still standing and not rotting. Sunlight passes through the water and covers them like Buddha's light, lifelike and lifelike. 1959, for the construction of Xin' anjiang Hydropower Station, two ancient cities, Lion City and he cheng, 27 towns and villages, 1000, all 300,000 mu of fertile land sank to the bottom of Qiandao Lake, and 290,000 people moved out. And this ancient city of Lion City with a history of more than 1000 years is still sleeping at the bottom of Qiandao Lake.
We will never have a chance to see the ancient underwater city again, but fortunately, Jiangjia Town, the nearest to the original site of the Lion City, has a total construction area of about 80,000 square meters on 20 16. Yuan Wen Lion City reproduces the original appearance of the underwater Millennium Lion City, showing all the cultures of the ancient city, such as traditional handicrafts, intangible projects, folk customs and festivals. Here, you can see Qiandao Lake in a bay or eat it in a plate.
Knock on the door of Kuiwen Building early in the morning, climb to the top and have a panoramic view of Qiandao Lake. The green island with blue waves and the Millennium ancient city decorated with gray tiles and white walls are so quiet that people want to see the beautiful scenery in front of them. I just want to take one more look.
This is Qiandao Lake, this is Jiangjia Town, and this is Yuan Wen Lion City!

-Back to the Lion City, a city with thousands of years of history-
Jiangjia is a cultural resort with profound cultural background. Lion City, a thousand-year-old city, is silent in the Jiangjia water area of Qiandao Lake. It was once the political, economic, cultural and transportation center of Gu Sui 'an County, and it is also one of the birthplaces of Chun 'an cultural heritage today. In the fourth year of Tang Wude (62 1), Sui 'an County moved to Wushi Mountain, so it was also called Lion City because it was backed by Wushi Mountain. Due to the convenient land and water transportation, the lion city was once an important town on the ancient commercial road of Hangzhou-Huizhou, and was known as the "Little Tianfu in West Zhejiang". Qiandao Lake has long been famous at home and abroad, but the two thousand-year-old cities at the bottom of the lake are rarely mentioned by the outside world. 1959, due to the construction of Xin 'anjiang Hydropower Station, the "Lion City" and "he cheng" which started in the Han and Tang Dynasties were submerged under the blue waves overnight.
Half a century later, Xin 'anjiang Hydropower Station gradually retreated to the East China standby power station and gradually faded out of people's sight, followed by the reputation of Qiandao Lake as a tourist attraction. It is difficult to find a complete ancient city pool on land after historical events such as "breaking the four old buildings" and rebuilding the old city. Thousand-year-old underwater city Qiandao Lake was remembered at this time.
This ancient underwater city still lies quietly under the blue water, while Yuan Wen Lion City is located in Jiangjia Town, the most beautiful lake in Qiandao Lake, China. The underwater ancient city submerged at the bottom of Qiandao Lake for more than 60 years will reappear. Lions with different shapes and retro streets will take you into the Millennium Xin 'an civilization.
-Let time slow down in the Lion City and reproduce the cultural heritage that has flowed for thousands of years-
Lion City Lion City, featuring lions, is named after Wushi Mountain. In this city, there are all kinds of lions, either mighty, solemn, naive or lovely.
Archway is one of the architectural cultures with China characteristics. It is a building built by feudal society to commend meritorious service, science, virtue, loyalty and filial piety. The light and shadow are mottled, and the beautiful scenery always attracts people to linger. Just like these arches in Yuan Wen Lion City, they are a must-see for tourists and photographers. There is a story behind every archway, just like the lion city at the bottom of this sleeping lake, telling it silently.
The streets of bluestone slabs have an antique charm, and two-board buildings are typical.
Huizhou style, horse head wall, small blue tiles, merchants and artists wearing cheongsam clothes walking on it, at this moment, you will feel that time passes slowly, as if crossing back to the Republic of China, walking slowly day and night.
-lion awakening, Yuan Wen, the inheritance of Xin' an culture-
Embroidery workshop, singing, shadow play, wine cellar and the inheritance of Xin 'an culture can all be experienced here. If you have time, it is also very good to do embroidery in Xiufang, or it is very comfortable to stand on the street and listen to a tune. In the evening, there is also a small bar for entertainment.
Of course, the lion city can't do without lion dancing. At present, the scenic spot has arranged three performances of the Lion King every day. It is worth mentioning that, unlike the single lion dance we saw in the past, this is the venue of the International Lion King Competition, because we enjoyed more kinds of lion dance performances. So you are such a lion king!
Watch church meetings, flash shows in the Republic of China and so on. The performance was interspersed throughout the day. When you are tired, go to the stage to watch a performance. When you are hungry and thirsty, there are many street snacks to choose from.
Burning incense, burning wax, jumping and adding officials; Draw your forehead, worship and pray for peace. These rare ancient Dragon Boat Festival blessing ceremonies can be experienced in Yuan Wen Lion City during this Dragon Boat Festival.
There was a ceremony to pray for thousands of people, including a mighty and solemn duke and a graceful maid-in-waiting. The blessing ceremony starts from the gate of Dongjie Street, and the three pillars are fragrant and worship the sky. Then cruise along Yuan Wen Shicheng East Street to the North Gate, where maids scatter rice to ward off evil spirits, interact with tourists and shops along the street, and present mugwort leaves.
In front of the archway in the North Square, an exorcism and blessing ceremony was held. Zhong Kui, Shi Tian staged a domineering confrontation against the Five Poisons, and maids danced flags to reproduce the grand occasion of the ancient Dragon Boat Festival blessing ceremony. The tribute on the incense table is also a complete sample of ancient sacrifices, and the big pig head is particularly conspicuous. Painting the forehead, the custom of painting the child's forehead with realgar on the Dragon Boat Festival, clouds can drive away poisonous insects. The typical method is to draw the word "Wang" on the child's forehead with realgar. One is to use realgar to drive away the poison, and the other is to use the tiger's forehead (the "king" is like a tiger, and the tiger is the king of all animals, because it is replaced by a tiger) to suppress evil. After the blessing ceremony, there was a painting by Zhong Kui, and the visitors took an active part in it, hoping to be healthy and auspicious for the whole year.
If you want to know about the past life of the Lion City, come to the Lion City Return Pavilion under the city wall, with old photos and vivid stories of the people of the Lion City, and take you into the years of the Lion City.
-Climb to the top of the mountain and you can see the Lion City at a glance-
If you want to see the whole picture of the Lion City, it is the best choice to climb the Kuiwen Tower outside the Yuan Wen Lion City. Kuiwen Pagoda is one of the three pagodas in Sui 'an ancient city (the other two pagodas are Xiangyun Pagoda and Hongshan Pagoda). It was built in the Ming Dynasty, with six sides and seven floors. It has a brick structure and can be boarded. It stands on the hill next to Xushijia Village, Erli, outside the county seat. It is a feng shui pagoda that promotes the prosperity of literature. 1959, the Xin 'anjiang Dam was built and impounded to form Qiandao Lake, and Kuiwen Pagoda and "Land of East Zhejiang" sank to the bottom of the lake with the ancient city of An. With the passage of time, the Quiventa, which has been silent for more than half a century, gradually faded out of people's memory.
20 1 1, Jiangjia Town, a small town with sui 'an style, was built. In order to recreate the submerged ancient city of Sui 'an, Jiangjia Town built the Lion City Museum, and recreated the Kuiwen Pagoda according to the ratio of 1: 1. It was too late to visit the Kuiwen Tower on the first night, and the door of the tower was closed, but the Kuiwen Tower was more conspicuous in the night light.
I went again the next morning. Originally, Queventa didn't open until half past eight. My uncle at the Lion City Museum under the Tower heard that I had come all the way and opened the door for me in advance. Kuiwen Tower faces Qiandao Lake and is backed by Baiqin Lake. Looking at the tower is already: the highest place on the tower, riding the moon, wants to open a realm for literature; Not far from the Buddha, the dream of cutting clouds has come true.
The preface panorama was taken here. The sunshine at eight o'clock is very gentle. You just walk carefully and calm down to feel the encounter after 1000 years.
-the reborn Millennium ancient city, Qiandao Lake was eaten up by a dish-
Yuan Wen Lion City reproduces the original appearance of the underwater Millennium Lion City, showing all the cultures of the ancient city, such as traditional handicrafts, intangible projects, folk customs and festivals. Here, you can see Qiandao Lake in one bay or eat it all in one plate.
The ingredients here come from Jiang's local farm and are cooked with authentic local dishes. There are Yifuchun, Shibawan and Jiangbaiwei restaurants in the scenic area, and there are food stalls and other local cuisines on the street for you to choose from.
The river is full of flavor, and the spacious lobby gives people a sense of seeing the waves crossing the river.
Located on the shore of Qiandao Lake, the first one is of course Qiandao Lake organic fish head. Organic fish and Qiandao Lake are the first organic fish certified by the Organic Food Development Center of the State Environmental Protection Administration, and Qiandao Lake is also the first organic fish breeding base in China. Organic fish is called "growing up with tonics" because organic fish in Qiandao Lake is wild, grows naturally and doesn't eat any feed. In addition, Qiandao Lake is the largest national forest park in China, where there are thousands of hectares of pine forests. Every spring, pine pollen scattered all over the mountain nourishes yin and strengthens yang, providing a natural tonic for organic fish in Qiandao Lake. So organic fish in Qiandao Lake is not only delicious, but also full.
The fish caught in this way, after simple boiling, tastes particularly delicious immediately, especially the soup, which is really the simplest but most delicious fish soup I have drunk in recent years. Not only does it not have the usual earthy smell of river fish, but it is also very sweet and has a strong texture. According to our usual experience, fish soup is delicious, and fish must be firewood, because nutrients are lost in the soup. But the magic thing is that this fish is not astringent at all, and the meat is super fresh and tender. When a big bowl is served, it is divided.
When you come to western Zhejiang, you are also recommended to try the "eighteen bowls" of food. It is said that there are allusions in it. When Shang Lu, the records of the Ming Dynasty, returned to his hometown, the emperor arranged a chef to accompany him so that he could thank his hometown. There were many villagers, so he thought hard and didn't know how to thank them to show his sincerity. Later, he finally thought of a good way-there were 18 old people left in the village, so he asked the chef to design a table of 18 dishes as specifications to express his gratitude to the villagers. Later, this hospitality standard was inherited and became the highest standard of hospitality in western Zhejiang, known as the "eighteen bowls". There is nothing unusual about dishes, which we can see almost every day, but its significance lies in the intention and gratitude behind it. And because the ingredients are fresh and authentic, they are also particularly delicious.
-Wen Bo Bo Rui, a high-end resort hotel walking between mountains and rivers-
"Sailing on the blue waves, people roam in the picture world", I think this is the best description of Boli Hotel in Yuan Wen Lion City, Qiandao Lake.
Yuan Wen Shicheng Borui Hotel in Qiandao Lake is a villa group operated and managed by Greenland International Hotel Management Group, which integrates Huizhou architecture, health holiday and cultural leisure. The lobby of the hotel reveals a strong Huizhou style, and all the waiters are dressed with the charm of the Republic of China, which makes the hotel with a little ancient charm from the beginning and complements Yuan Wen Lion City.
Interlaced alleys, during the hiding period of single-family villas, the waterways are vertical and horizontal, and only the alleys such as Lengshui Lane, Qingyi Lane and Changtanxi, which appear in paintings or TV, are inadvertently presented. Such an environment, wearing cheongsam, holding an oil-paper umbrella, walking during the period, at that moment, my heart was particularly quiet. The charm of the ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River, the heritage of the Millennium Lion City and the accumulation of history have created today's beautiful scenery.
At the beginning of Deng Hua, the lanterns hanging in front of each villa are quietly lit, reflecting the sky that is not yet completely black, adding a touch of charm.
Pushing open this wooden door, the first thing you see is a private yard.
Wooden doors, lanterns, iron bars, gently push open the wooden doors, first a flight of stairs leads to the second floor. The room type is located on the second floor of a single-family villa.
At the corner of the second floor, there is a mini-bar first. Drinks and tea in the refrigerator are free.
Further inside is a 2-meter big bed. It is said that all the rooms in the hotel are big beds, which is amazing. The bed is very soft, and it is very comfortable to lean on it after a violent day.
There is also a long chair on one side of the bed, where you can make tea and read books, and playing chess is also a good choice. And provide welcome fruit, very sweet.
The bathroom is the largest in the hotel in recent years. Dressing tables and lockers are large, with complete toiletries and even ironing. There is also a bathtub in the bathroom, and a comfortable bath is also good.
Breakfast is served in the form of a buffet at IRI All-Day Restaurant. The whole restaurant is also antique. Breakfast is quite rich, including cake, porridge, hot dishes, milk and so on, and I like a bowl of hot noodles best, which is perfect.
Asia's largest infinity pool, heartbreaking blue.
In addition to elegant and antique Huizhou villa rooms, Boli Hotel also has the largest infinity pool in Asia! In summer, nothing is more refreshing than jumping into a cool swimming pool! And those endless swimming pools suspended at the top of the city, or crossing the long river of history, or standing on cliffs, or melting into the sea, are the paradise on earth in the hearts of countless people, and the endless swimming pool of Platinum Ree Hotel is on the shores of Thousand Island Lake. First, go to Zhang Quanjing. sea and the sky is the same color. Even if you don't get into the water, it's intoxicating to look at the beautiful scenery in front of you quietly.
On this side of Bichi, when no one is around, the lake is as calm as sapphire, lying drunk on the shore of Qiandao Lake, and even a little unwilling to break this calm.
The swimming pool is a place suitable for all couples and girlfriends. I just want to walk hand in hand with you by the Thousand Island Lake and see the beautiful scenery.
Outside the swimming pool, it is Qiandao Lake. Clear water is intoxicating. It is said that the visibility can reach 10 meter. No wonder you can cook such delicious Qiandao Lake organic fish. Qiandao Lake is blue during the day, but at the moment when the sun goes down, the slightly reddish glow dyed the lake purple, which is even more intoxicating.
I also watched a wonderful water show, and the water column rolled, which was amazing.
Under a pool of clear water, there is a mysterious ancient city. Despite the passage of time, everything has passed and is still intact.
In infinite time,
You are silent;
In the flowing blue waves,
You hid, quietly.
Let worldly things,
Come and go, cycle after cycle.
If time is not old, if you are still here,
Whatever, past lives.
Say yes, go to this Millennium appointment,
Entrust your throbbing and happiness to you.
Explore the Lion City on the shores of Thousand Island Lake.
Breaking annoying obstacles and stepping on leisurely steps,
To meet a girl who just woke up.
At noon in early May, when everyone was spitting the braised fish heads in the canteen, I didn't know who proposed to go to Changtan Reservoir to eat fish heads, so the idea of going out to eat fish heads took root in our group.
A few days later, the departmental trade union issued the tourist routes for the first half of the year, one of which was Qiandao Lake. In order to eat delicious fish heads, our group of 8 people hit it off and reported to Qiandao Lake.
After sitting on the travel agency bus for more than five hours, everyone on the bus began to complain, "Why hasn't it arrived yet?" "There are many small islands on the sea." A gentle voice came from the front row to my ear sitting in the back seat. At first, I thought it was my colleague's children and parents who said there was a video in the pad. Until the colleague sitting next to him opened the curtain and said, "It's almost there. The scenery is beautiful and the water is clear." I looked up and looked out. It turns out that the car has been driving on the Xin' anjiang Bridge. On both sides of the bridge are green lakes, in which the heads of several small islands are exposed. The tour guide also began to pick up wheat and introduce Qiandao Lake to us. She said, "Qiandao Lake is located in Chun 'an County, the western suburb of Hangzhou, with Hangzhou 129 km in the east and Huangshan 140 km in the west. It is the back garden of the Yangtze River Delta, and there are 1078 emerald islands in the lake, making it one of the three largest Qiandao Lake in the world?
Thousand island lake
First, swim in Qiandao Lake.
1, forest oxygen bar
After lunch, we came to the first stop of this trip, the forest oxygen bar? .
Forest oxygen bar
Forest oxygen bar is located in the southeast lake area of Qiandao Lake. After arriving at the scenic spot, the first thing I saw was the plaque of "Qiandao Lake Forest Oxygen Bar" built with wooden stakes. Wood-colored boards and green fonts complement each other with the scenic spots behind. ?
When you enter the scenic spot, you feel that you are in a mini forest. There are lush trees, pavilions and waterside pavilions in the scenic area, and the small bridges on the stone platform are interdependent with the meandering and rushing streams. Although it is hot in June in the south of the Yangtze River, in the scenic area, the oxygen bar seems to have its own cooling function, which makes it feel particularly cool. As we approached the stream, countless negative oxygen ions came to our faces. No wonder the children in the same trade said, "The air here is really sweet." Until now, when I look at photos and write travel notes, it seems that I can still hear the sound of streams flowing in my ears.
If you are tired of walking, you can take a nap at the stone bench or teahouse on the roadside. When you go down the mountain, you can also choose to walk, ski or slide. Of course, the latter two have to be paid.
Waterfalls in the oxygen bar
2. Yuan Wen Lion City
The next morning, we came to the second stop, Lion City.
Lion City
Historical records show that the Lion City is named after Wushi Mountain in the north of Sui 'an County. Known as "Little Tianfu in West Zhejiang" in ancient times, it was once the hub of Shang Hui Road along Xin 'anjiang River.
From 65438 to 0959, in order to build Xin 'anjiang Hydropower Station, the largest water control project at that time, Xin 'anjiang began to cut off water, and Chun 'an County and Sui 'an County began to store water. Since then, the Lion City and he cheng have sunk to the bottom of Qiandao Lake. The 1078 island on Thousand Island Lake is the peak exposed by the submerged mountain range at that time.
In order to commemorate the ancient lion city, Yu Nianchun visited many elderly people who had moved away, and combined with the information of the ancient city and the underwater investigation of divers, restored the original appearance of the ancient lion city. Today, the original model of the ancient city is placed in the Lion City Museum. It is said that the ancient city at the bottom of the lake discovered by divers is intact. In the near future, we may visit the ancient city of 1959 at the bottom of the lake, and the original residents of Lion City who have moved away may still find their homes by memory.
Original appearance of underwater lion city
Beside the museum, the original ancient city, the Huizhou architecture with white walls and black tiles, was rebuilt on the old site. We were still under construction in the past, and it is estimated that we will open to the outside world in the second half of the year.
This tower overlooks the newly-built Lion City.
3. Longchuan Bay
After visiting the Lion City, we came to the pier on the side and took a ferry to Longchuan Bay scenic spot on the other side. ? The ferry will take tourists around the lake and take them to the dock on the other side.
Corner of Longchuanwan Wetland
Longchuan Bay is located in the southwest lake area of Qiandao Lake, which has not been fully developed and is far away from Qiandao Lake Town, so there are fewer tourists and it is relatively quiet.
From the pier to the scenic spot, you can choose to walk along the winding mountain road by the lake, or you can choose to take a free battery car. Of course, if you are tired, you can also stop the passing battery car. ?
