Winters in Taihu Lake are not always snow-white, so this snow is particularly precious. Heavy snow covered the entire island of Xishan Island, the branches of the trees were covered with snowdrops, and the roofs were covered with white down. The Guiyin Mountain Lodge I booked on Ctrip is located in a tranquil place surrounded by loquat forests, and its name is even more poetic in the snow - return to the mountains.
The owner of Guiyin Mountain is a young, beautiful and enthusiastic young girl - Xiao Zhang, whose smile is particularly warm in the ice and snow. She said that this is a gathering place for many literary and artistic youths and travel enthusiasts, and everyone is not only a guest here, but also a friend. I was fascinated by the atmosphere and looked forward to meeting like-minded travel companions here.
Sure enough, in the cozy living room of the B&B that night, I met travelers from all over the world. We sat around the long coffee table and shared hot black tea, ginger tea and snacks prepared by our hosts. On the night when the snow keeps falling, everyone takes the initiative to share their travel stories and life experiences.
I especially remember a girl named Amei, who is a photography enthusiast who came here to capture the snow scene of Xishan Island. Her camera has many stunning snow scenes** stored in it, each one of which is a perfect interpretation of natural beauty. A young man named Xiao Zhang is a writer who sits quietly in the corner, recording the snow outside the window, occasionally looking up to share his descriptions with us.
The next day, Ame proposes to go to the island together in search of the most beautiful snow scenes. We put on heavy winter coats, stepped on the snow, accompanied by the biting north wind, and headed to one of the legendary ten ancient scenery of Xishan Island"Mao Gong snow"Attractions, began the adventure. The snow makes the whole island even more peaceful, the lake is frozen and the reeds on the shore hang their heads low, carrying a heavy layer of snow. Xiao Zhang pauses from time to time to record these quiet moments, which he says are a gift from God that inspired him to write.
In those days, we built snowmen in the snow together, skated on the ice together, and toasted to the first rays of the morning sun on the terrace of Guiginsan Yakudo. We go from strange to familiar to reluctant. Guiyin Mountain Lodge is not only our habitat, but also a testimony to our friendship.
On the day of parting, the snow stopped and the ice began to melt, but our friendship took root in this cold winter day. Ah Mei gave me her photo of the snow scene on Xishan Island**, and Xiao Zhang gave me a short story he wrote about the trip**. When we said goodbye, we hugged tightly, and although we didn't know when the next reunion would be, we knew that this friendship would be with us and warm each other's futures.
This is the story of my trip to Xishan Island in Taihu Lake in Jinting Town, a friendship forged in the snow. At Guiyin Mountain, I not only experienced rare tranquility, but also gained precious interpersonal relationships. This trip taught me that even in the coldest winters, the warmth between people is enough to withstand any cold.
