There is a song that reads, "Taihu Lake is beautiful, Taihu Lake is beautiful, and beauty is beautiful in the water ...... Taihu Lake."And Guo Moruo after playing Yuantouzhu, he even thinks that "Taihu Lake is an excellent place, after all, it is in Yuantou", which shows that the beautiful scenery in Taihu Lake is surrounded by this boulder that protrudes into the lake and looks like a turtle.
If someone asks, the scenery of Yuantouzhu is beautiful in the morning or in the afternoon, I think the most beautiful scenery here is in the evening and early morning.
Drive over in the afternoon and visit a few classic attractions here:
Cherry Blossom Valley(It can be called the largest cherry blossom viewing place in China), every year during the cherry blossom season, this is the world of falling flowers. There are also Wuxi Renjie Garden, Jiangnan Orchid Garden and other scenic spots.
Turtle Zhu Chuntao, from the "Taihu Lake Excellent" archway to Guangfu Temple, here is the essence of the scenery of Yuantouzhu.
It is said that Xu Xiake also visited here back then. In the harbor in front of the statue of Xu Xiake, there is also a "Xiake".
Hengyun Villa gatehouse area,It is a classical garden scenic spot in Yuantou Zhu Water Town, with pavilions, corridors, and small bridges and flowing water.
Guangfu Ancient Temple,A temple built on a cliff during the Southern Dynasties, it was rebuilt in 1925 and named "Guangfuji Temple", and the noodles here are famous.
Wanlang Bridge,There is a natural inlet in the west of the scenic spot, surrounded by a winding embankment, there is an arch bridge in the middle, when the wind and waves are strong, the huge waves beat the lake embankment, the water droplets splash, such as the snowflakes flying all over the sky, so it is named "Wanlang Bridge", this scenery is also called "Wanlang Rolling Snow".
In the evening, wait for the sunset at the lighthouse. Standing here and looking into the distance, the islands in the lake rise and fall, and the waves crash on the shore. When the sun sets, the sail shadows in the distance are dotted, and a beautiful picture of fishing boats singing at night.
Note: Those fishing boats in Taihu Lake are all props.
Stay in a hotel in the scenic area at night, so you don't have to rush and visit slowly.
Luding Mountain,The mountain is 96 meters high, it is the highest point in the scenic area, and there are buildings such as Shutian Pavilion, group of deer sculptures, inscription shadow wall, Fan Litang and so on on the mountain.
Early in the morning the next day, climb Luding Mountain, watch the sunrise on Shutian Pavilion, and have a glimpse of the beautiful scenery of "Luding Yinghui", the lake and mountains shrouded in the morning glow, there is indeed another poetic and picturesque feeling. Therefore, it is said that "the victory of the turtle head is in Luding Mountain." ”
Taihu Lake Immortal Island,After breakfast at the hotel, take a special ferry to the place (the ticket is included in the ticket for the scenic spot).
This is a group of small islands in the lake of Yuantouzhu Scenic Area, the main attractions on the island are Huixian Bridge, Tianjie, Lingxiao Palace, Dajue Bay, etc., which can be described as Qionglou Yuyu, and Yaochi Lingdong is hidden in it.
On the south side of the island, there is a huge statue of Lao Tzu, and there are many stone carvings of Buddha statues on the stone wall, which look very spectacular, reflecting the idea of the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
The main road into the scenic spot has a very nice name, called "Ten Mile Fang Path". Because here in spring, the peach and willow are green, the cherry blossoms are colorful, and the azaleas are showing;Lotus flowers swaying in summer;Autumn leaves are colorful;The snow is blank in the cold winter. It can be described as a ten-mile scenery, changing the scenery step by step.
Note: I went once this year and stayed in a scenic hotel. Self-driving cars can drive into the scenic spot for free, tickets are also free, and you can stagger the peak to visit the various scenic spots of Yuantouzhu, which feels really good.
