Travel Notes | Hangzhou Jiande Yanzhu Lake is too beautiful to be true

 

In Jiande Meicheng, Hangzhou, there is such an incredibly beautiful place - Yanzhu Lake. Close to the foot of the mountain, there is a lake with green water and slight ripples, quiet and leisurely. A small boat moved slowly in the middle of the lake.

In the early morning, the smoke-like mist rises gently from the lake and spreads slowly. The birds on the shore are chirping, and the white clouds are wandering in the ethereal mountains. People can't help but get nervous and shout at the top of their lungs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We stayed at the Fuchun Kaiyuan Fangcaodi Country Hotel in Hangzhou. We were surrounded by green grass all the way. The car meandered along the well-built mountain road. The front suddenly opened up. On the right side of the road is the confluence of Fuchun River, Xin'an River and Lanjiang River. And Yanzhu Lake is on the left side of the road.

 

 

 

 

Fuchun Kaiyuan Fangcaodi Country Hotel occupies 200 acres of Feng Shui treasure land, backed by a mountain and facing a lake.

Room types with different characteristics are just right hidden in this mountain lake, closely following the theme of Fangcaodi. The rooms are named tree frog, plum, walnut, squirrel...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meicheng Ancient Town

 

The ancient city of Meicheng, not far from Yanzhu Lake, still retains some ruins and its ancient charm still exists. Meicheng was called Yanzhou Prefecture in ancient times. There are many archways in the ancient city, among which Qingcheng Gate is an ancient city gate with a history of thousands of years.

 

 

In order to protect cultural relics, a new stone bridge was built on the Taiping Bridge site.

 

 

According to local people: In ancient times, a fire burned down the old city. This is the only door head left in the Song Dynasty.

 

 

Meicheng Ancient Town

 

In Jiande City, we were fortunate enough to meet Mr. Huang Yongping, the inheritor of Guqin's ancient music. Mr. Huang took advantage of his busy schedule to play guqin music for us.

 

On the mountain wall, there is an inscription "Shangyanzhou Wushitan" by Song Dynasty poet Yang Wanli, which proves the thousand-year history of Meicheng.

 

 

Transportation: Self-driving: It is about 309 kilometers from the center of Shanghai (People’s Square) to the hotel. About 18.45 kilometers from Jiande Station
