Yunshui ballad, Yunshui ballad,
Beautiful, picturesque and enchanting,
In the high mountains and flowing water, the pastoral scenery is beautiful, with waterwheels around the river and earth buildings showing off.
Yunshui ballad, Yunshui ballad,
The breeze blows above my head, the green pines and bamboos are full of laughter,
The flowing water on the dam is howling, the big banyan tree is charming along the river, the lights are dawning in the film and television city, and the laughter is Xiaoxiao in the Huaiyuan Tower!
——"The Ballad of Clouds and Waters"
His car stopped accurately in front of me, and he didn't seem to need to exchange the connection code. He directly said, "Get in the car, let's go to the restaurant to eat, and then go to the station to take the bus after eating."
It seemed like an instant hit. I didn't say anything and got into his car.
Soon he found a small restaurant. We simply ordered three dishes and one soup. After lunch and a short rest, we set off to the station to catch the train.
He parked the electric car naturally at the entrance of the station. Then I had a few words with the convenience store owner in Zhangzhou dialect. As a Hokkien person, I have never been able to understand the Hokkien spoken in Zhangzhou. But the general meaning of these sentences should be to store the car here. I mean to come back and pick it up tomorrow night. It seems that Xiao Han is a frequent visitor here.
After putting the car away, he bought water and a ticket for the shuttle bus.
The shuttle buses to Yunshuiyao are all small shuttle buses. We waited for a while and got in the car. The parking space is very crowded. We both also carried two schoolbags. The journey was also bumpy and bumpy. Yunshuiyao is located in Shuyang Ancient Town. The shuttle bus shook all the way and it took about an hour and a half to arrive at the gate of Yunshuiyao.
Enter the scenic area. The most eye-catching thing is the earthen buildings scattered at the foot of the mountain, beside the stream bank and in the fields. Of course, the most famous earthen buildings are "Huaiyuan Building" and "Hegui Building", which are also the classic "four dishes and one soup" of the earthen buildings.
The first thing we arrived at was Huaiyuan Building. The large ring of Huaiyuan Building is the residence and the small ring is the school. The architecture is quite unique. It is said that Huaiyuan Building is also the architectural prototype of the movie "Big Fish and Begonia".
In addition to Huaiyuan Tower, the most spectacular thing in Yunshuiyao Scenic Area is Hegui Tower. With the successful application of Fujian Earth Buildings for World Heritage in 2003, Hegui Tower was also included in the World Heritage List.
Hegui Tower is different from Huaiyuan Tower in that it is not round but square. It was built in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, Hegui Building was built on a swamp and is called the "tallest" earth building. It is still strong and stable after more than 200 years. I am impressed by the architectural craftsmanship of the ancients.
The accommodation environment of the inn is quiet and elegant, and the quaint farmhouse complements each other.
Living by this creek, you can see the farmhouses on the edge of the creek in front of you from a distance, with smoke rising from their cooking pots and the water wheel squeaking around. It seems to have some flavor.
We chatted about our past lives and enjoyed the night view of the scenic spot. The night view of Yunshuiyao is relatively simple, the ancient town is relatively small, and there are no bright lights. A few scattered lights. Tourists on the road are strolling leisurely, but it feels like strolling in the yard in front of their own homes, giving it a warm feeling.
The moonlight shines through the branches of the trees on the water, making the waves sparkle and be as gentle as water.
We sat on the bank of the stream next to the watermill, watching the sun gradually climb up in the quiet town.
The creek is gurgling, and the distant mountains are like black daisy. The simple ancient town looks like a "paradise" under the sunshine.
The reflection of the ancient banyan tree is on the stream, and the small earthen buildings on both sides of the river will surround the stream. The stream water pulled up by the water wheel will play melodious notes on the keys of the ancient Longbu Bridge, slowly floating into the distance.
The earth is gradually waking up, and listening to the squeaking sound of the waterwheel is like a song. Maybe this is the origin of Yunshuiyao.
