Mingyuewan 1

Walking in the alley of Yueming Bay, a simple and unique breath came to my face. If the weather is fine, you can expect romantic clouds. You will find that dusk is in tune with this ancient pier. No wonder it attracts many literary beauties, and uses the lens to freeze the beauty of the sunset.

Here, in addition to meeting the customs of ancient villages, there is an ancient pier that used stones to enjoy the moon thousands of years ago, waiting for you to visit. Even thousands of years ago, the ancients thought it was extremely romantic, and I believe it would add a lot of color to your date with TA.

2. Ancient docks

The wharf was originally the main communication channel between Yueming Bay and the outside world. The existing building was rebuilt by villagers in the 21st year of Qingganlong (1756). Legend has it that Hehe is here to enjoy the moon. Bai Juyi and other celebrities have boarded this ship. There is the tranquility and simplicity of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as the mystery and quietness of the ancient village with a thousand years. Picturesque beauty carries a long homesickness.

3. Qinshan listens to Tao

It was called Qinshan Stone Dike in ancient times, and it was named because the waves hit the rocks and made a pleasant sound. The thirty-eighth year of Qing Qianlong (1773) was given by the Xu family in the Tang Dynasty. Today, the ancient Qinshan has become a modern "love mountain". As one of the natural wedding photography places in Xishan "network celebrities", the quaint and fresh ancient pier has become a must for young people and witnessed the love stories of many couples.

4. Meditation Bay

Just like the beautiful name "Jingxin Bay", the simple but strong blues make people's brains wide open, or there is no elaborate craft here, but the simplest craft of nature has left you the original appearance of mountains and lakes.

There are quiet, quaint and adjacent vicissitudes of life villages, Yinshan Island and Hengshan Island separated by water, farmer's water villages fishing in the sunset, and Yuanshan Island in the sunset, which makes people think deeply.

5. Shuiyuewu

There is a dock at the foot of rime peak, where a large number of tea trees and fruit trees are planted. There is a small green hill, and the pier is called Wu Xiaoqing. Water dance is famous for Shuiyue Temple. Shuiyue Temple was founded in the fourth year of Liang Datong in the Southern Dynasties (AD 538), and it is a famous temple in the south of the Yangtze River. It is said to be the birthplace of Guanyin statue of Shuiyue in the thirty-six phases of Guanyin Bodhisattva. The temples with reflected green trees, the apricot-yellow courtyard walls and the pale green towering trees all reveal leisurely Zen.

6. Houbu Ancient Village

You can hear the echoes of the years in every corner here, and you can't bear to speak loudly in the alley here, even if you disturb this beautiful scenery. After gu cun, formerly known as Kawabe, called after gu cun. This ancient village is one of the earliest settlements in Dongting Mountain after Du Nan in the Southern Song Dynasty. Xu, Jiang and Fei moved here successively.

White walls and black tiles have their own merits in painting, and there are a large number of old houses in the village, some of which are well preserved and some are slightly worn out.

The houses in the ancient village are patchwork, mottled and old, and large pieces of ancient bricks are exposed on the walls, which looks quaint and artistic.

7. East Village

Dongcun Ancient Village is one of the first traditional villages in Jiangsu Province. According to legend, Dong Yuangong, one of the "four good men" in the late Qin Dynasty and early Han Dynasty, once lived in seclusion here, so he was named Dong Yuancun, or East Village for short. The ancient village of Dongcun still retains a complete style of traditional villages in the south of the Yangtze River. Houses built in Ming and Qing Dynasties witnessed the history and legends of ancient villages.

Ancient houses can be seen everywhere here, such as Zhufang Hall, Shensi Hall, Ruimu Hall, Yuren Hall, Banquet Hall, Xuepu Hall, Liugeng Hall, Shaoyi Hall, Xiaoyou Hall, Rende Hall, Dunhe Hall, Cuixiu Hall, Langrun Hall and Jingxiu Hall, as well as other historical sites such as Qixian Alley Gate, Yong 'an Bridge and Dongyuan Temple.

At the entrance of Yueming Bay, enjoy a 1200-year-old camphor tree and quietly listen to the story of a thousand-year-old village. There are nearly 100 ancient houses, ancestral halls and other Qing Dynasty buildings in the village.

Liu Changqing, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, looked for him for a long time, but unfortunately he couldn't find him, so he planted this camphor tree, leaving a poem "An old friend is not in the bright moon, and a boat comes and goes alone".
