What I was most worried about during the entire trip was Xiangshan—this place had two endings—either unexpectedly good or unexpectedly ordinary. We went to Xiangshan Film and Television City, Shipu Old Street, and stayed in a B&B. The ending was, unexpectedly... ordinary.
Shipu Old Street is the first "old street" I've been to that charges 60 yuan for admission. There is really only one street in it. Several old buildings have been transformed into exhibition halls, exhibiting content that has nothing to do with Shipu local area - Plate buckles, coins, etc., and even official items of the Qing Dynasty are on display, which is amazing in Elephant Mountain.
There is also an exhibition hall of Ke Shouliang, the star who drove over the Hukou Falls. It turns out that Ke Shouliang was born on the Xiangshan Yushan Islands. When the last batch of Kuomintang troops retreated from there in 1955, they captured hundreds of local fishermen and took them to Taiwan. , Ke Shouliang's family is also among them. There is a photo on the wall of Ke Shouliang's father and Chiang Kai-shek in Taiwan. I am actually very curious, why can a fisherman family take a photo with Chiang Kai-shek in what looks like an office?
When we came out, we found that you can get in by evading fares on Renmin Road, and the scenery of the fishing port along the seaside seemed to be much more interesting. You could take a boat trip for 60 yuan, but because the excitement of Shipu Old Street was too strong, we gave up.
The next day, we went to Xiangshan Film and Television City. Some people must say, what fun is there in such a fake place? However, I have been to Hengdian Film and Television City once and thought Hengdian was very fun. I still want to go there again. I think, Xiangshan Film and Television City The studio has filmed so many TV series, so it shouldn't be bad. It's a complete high-end imitation, made to look like the real thing, or fake enough to make you vomit blood. I'm very curious and want to see it in person.
I left a full day for Xiangshan Film and Television City, but we went in before 9 o'clock and came out at 10:30.
What is this place called?
I think the Republic of China City can always let me take some photos.
These "majestic" fake buildings are really hard to describe
Even the flowers on the trees are made of plastic and put on
First, compared with Hengdian, this place is still mainly used for filming TV shows. The film and television city provides a basic framework of scenery, and the various crews decorate it carefully, but the "fake" smell is overwhelming. Secondly, the single "fake" building is very tall, and the details are rough, and the scale of the scenic spot is not very large. It is difficult for me to take photos, and the aunt can't look stylish even wearing various silk scarves.
It's crazy for me to comment like this seriously.
I couldn't find the distinctive B&B I wanted near the film and television city, so I finally found one that cost around 200 yuan on a certain trip. In a village with more than 20 B&Bs of various sizes, there were no other facilities in the village except B&Bs. Actually, I I can’t figure out where so much business comes from.
There was nothing to eat at night. The proprietress said that we needed to make a reservation one day in advance. The same was true for the granary a few days ago. The B&B called me the day before to ask me what to eat here...or choose to drive four or five kilometers out.
I said that I could stir-fry whatever was available in the kitchen, but I was told that there was none. In the end, we were given two bowls of egg fried rice and a bowl of seaweed soup.
After eating, we took a walk in the dark village. The palm-sized villages are all small villas with B&Bs. Most of them are empty, so it’s a bit eerie to walk around. The roadside is full of orange trees, full of green leaves. I guess no one cared about the oranges, so my roommate picked a few and ate them. I heard several dogs barking, getting louder and louder, and finally found two puppies barking at us heart-breakingly.
We walked close to the orange tree, keeping the maximum distance from the dogs, and finally stopped barking. We looked back shamelessly, and they chased after us and continued barking wildly. In the end, the two of us were almost rolling and crawling to encourage each other. I ran back to the B&B at 7:30, staring in a 10-square-meter room while listening to the rumble of mahjong playing next door.
My roommate was on the verge of breaking out at this time, and I was on the verge of breaking out too.
"Not even close."
"What a silly comparison."
"It's a terrible comparison."
Just as he was chirping, my energy bar was almost at the point where I could use my ultimate move. I suddenly remembered the topic of control issue that they talked about in the book "Eat Pray Love" a few days ago, which is people's desire for control. Control freaks go crazy when things don't go according to plan.
I can't control what the scenic spots around Greater Ningbo are like, nor can I control other people's feelings.
All I can do is what Richard said to Liz in the book, You've got to let it go, let him go, I give up, it is true that this trip is really lackluster, my vision is very bad, so bad that I can't accept it, haha .
Instead of always hoping that I can plan a trip that will be full of flowers and full moon, it is better to give someone a trip that is full of disappointments and complaints. The bed board in the B&B is so hard that it says "I want to go back to Shanghai", and the funny look also makes me feel special. What a sense of accomplishment!
Life is all about experiencing various experiences.
