Fuyang was called Fuchun in ancient times
In 1994, the county was removed and established as a city. In 2014, the city was removed and established as a district.
Located in the northwest of Zhejiang Province, in the municipal district of Hangzhou City
Fuyang’s tourism resources are quite rich.
The famous Fuchun River runs through the entire territory
As a self-driving travel destination from Hangzhou
There is enough time in a day
This route mainly focuses on customs and landscapes, supplemented by
The route arrangement is Hangzhou Xiaoshan-Dongziguan Village-Dipu Flower Sea-Shen'ao Village-
Longlin Dam-Longmen Ancient Town (did not go there due to time reasons)-Xiaoshan
The route is clockwise
If you have enough time, you can stay one night by the Fuchun River
Next to it are Shishe Village, Luci Village, Yanziling Diaoyutai, etc.
It takes about 1 hour to arrive at the first stop from Xiaoshan
Here we face the Fuchun River and are backed by hills.
Yu Dafu once published a novel of the same name and described this place.
Surrounding the small boat he was sitting on were the blue sky, clear water, green mountains and mangroves on both sides, and the warm sun and wind in the middle of the river.
You can imagine a quiet, leisurely and safe small riverside village
In the early morning the tiles were covered with a thin layer of morning frost
Villagers who got up early have already started washing clothes and washing rice and vegetables in the pond.
Smoke slowly rises from scattered chimneys
A village begins to wake up
…
Nowadays, this place is famous for its most beautiful relocation houses.
The house with white walls and dark tiles is located behind a rice field.
Just one glance is enough to make you surprised by the beauty of the new countryside
Bypassing the new houses, there are rows of weather-beaten ancient residences in the south of the Yangtze River.
There are traces of time left on the bluestone board
Nowadays, snack streets and shops have been opened here because of the flow of tourists.
Selling snacks such as Youdunzi and Mulian Tofu, which are unique to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Further northwest, you can reach the Fuchun River
There are many fish restaurants and cafes along the river.
Tourists walking by the river
Because this place is not too popular
Still retain a sense of tranquility
Not far from Dongziguan Village is Dipu Village
Because of the thick grass growing beside the stream and ditches dug to irrigate the fields, it was called Dipu.
The Ogiura Flower Sea is located in the village
The park covers an area of more than 300 acres. There is no admission fee during the National Day.
Sunflowers and cosmos are in full bloom in October
In addition to the sea of flowers, sightseeing trains and recreational facilities have also been built.
It’s perfect as a camping site and parent-child playground.
Not far from Dipu Village is Shen'ao Village.
It was noon and we had lunch at Shen'ao Zhangchun Hotel.
A mom-and-pop shop opened by local residents on the first floor of their self-built house
There is no menu. Just tell the boss lady about the ingredients.
The dining environment is not beautiful and only has a few tables and chairs.
There are not enough chefs in the small restaurant. It took a long time to wait for the food.
Because I didn’t know how to make the dish, I had the experience of opening a blind box.
They are all ordinary farm dishes and taste quite delicious.
The average price per person is around 50, which is very cost-effective.
After dinner, take a walk in Shen'ao Village
Descendants of the Shentu family basically live in the village.
Shen'ao is named after the village's exquisite water system
As soon as you enter the gate, you can see a large pond
A circular corridor is built beside the pond for people to rest.
Water hyacinths and lotus flowers float in the pond
Because it is stagnant water, the water quality is not very good.
Most of the houses are open
You can take a shuttle tour here
Imagine the daily life of a wealthy family a hundred years ago
The square patio is beautifully carved with small animals.
Hollow window lattice, carved door and window beams
Everything reveals the wealth of the owner
The wooden structure of the building is still well preserved.
There are even villagers living a normal life
Through the deep courtyard
As if traveling through time
There is no need to look for it in Shen'ao Village
Take a leisurely walk along the bluestone courtyard
It's like unlocking a maze, constantly making new discoveries.
For example, Dai Gongguan was originally the place where Dai Li’s golden house hid his beauty.
Nowadays, the buildings are empty
Symmetrical design of the second floor
Hidden in a small village in Jiangnan
It can be said to be a geomantic treasure land.
It is obvious that there are many water conservancy facilities in this village.
Underdrains, open ditches, wells...almost every household has a pond.
Drinking water, washing clothes, washing rice, and viewing all have their own uses.
Leaving Shen'ao Village and ending today's visit to Zhepai Village
It takes about half an hour to arrive at Longlin Dam
As its name suggests, the dam looks like scales distributed in the middle of the river.
The scales are composed of semicircular pebbles, forming pools of varying heights.
The top of the dam is paved with cement stone slabs for people to cross the river.
Of course, there are also covered bridges further upstream for villagers to travel.
In summer this is the city’s back garden
A refreshing garden for families to get close to nature
When I went there, it was bustling with tourists.
After changing into slippers and shorts, I waded to the other side.
Due to being washed away by water for a long time
Stones may be covered with moss or may be polished smooth
I really experienced crossing the river by feeling the stones.
Take a rest on the shore. There are mountains downstream of the dam.
There is also a village behind it
Now residents nearby have set up stalls selling fruit snacks
It has also become a way to make a fortune.
If you are a photography enthusiast
We still have to wait until the tourists disperse and the lanterns come on
To capture the beautiful quiet moments
Originally, Longmen Ancient Town, the former residence of Sun Quan, was the final stop.
Due to time constraints and seeing similar villages in the morning, I gave up.
The hasty one-day trip comes to an end
On the way back, everyone started to take a nap from exhaustion.
Beautiful Fuyang is quietly waiting for guests arriving from afar...
