392 Yongcheng is a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou
Yongcheng is a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou. The urban area is very small. It is a narrow strip squeezed out by the rolling mountains in the back and the Xin'an River in the front. There is only one main street in the urban area, starting from Xin'an Road.
From Jiaoshan at one end to Luotongbu at the other end of Xin'an Road, you pass through the entire urban area.
Sheng Chuncheng and the others drove to Luotongbu, exited the city and continued forward, heading towards the Xin'an River Hydropower Station reservoir, which is also Qiandao Lake. Qiandao Lake was formed due to the construction of the Xin'an River Hydropower Station. The locals
Especially the power plant workers are not used to calling this piece of water Qiandao Lake, but instead call it Xin'anjiang Reservoir.
The water surface in the reservoir area submerged the two county towns of Chun'an and Sui'an. Today, the two ancient cities of Shicheng and Hecheng are still intact under the water of Qiandao Lake.
Hecheng is the original Chun'an County seat, and Shicheng is the original Sui'an County seat.
After the dam was closed in 1959 and the Xinan River was intercepted and impounded, the water level rose rapidly. At that time, people in the county not only had no time to demolish their houses, but many people also had no time to move away their heavy furniture and farm tools.
The whole place was flooded. They could only take their belongings with them, take one last look at their former residence, and then get on the bus to be immigrated.
Thousands of families in the two counties, the joys and sorrows passed down from generation to generation, were thus permanently sealed under the water in 1959.
After the completion of the power station, the water level in the reservoir area rose. The reservoir area is very large, as big as 3,000 West Lakes in Hangzhou, and is known as the "Three Thousand West Lakes". The original mountain tops are still exposed above the water.
It became a small island, dotted around, and Qiandao Lake was formed. Qiandao Lake can be said to be a natural scenic spot, but also a large-scale man-made landscape.
After passing Luotongbu, the car is driving on a road surrounded by mountains and rivers. On the right is the lush hillside, and on the left is the clear and sparkling Xin'an River.
After driving forward for five or six minutes, there is a three-way intersection ahead. Go straight towards the Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station, then turn right into a mountain col.
The driver turned the car right and soon entered a winding mountain road. On both sides of the road was a state-owned forest farm. The forest farm had been abandoned. Whether it was the piles of timber, the out-of-operation sawmill, or the original farm house,
There was no one. The open space in front of the door had been covered by fallen leaves and grass. In this winter afternoon, it suddenly jumped into people's eyes, showing a sad glory.
The car climbed halfway up the mountain for seven or eight minutes and arrived at the entrance of a tunnel. The tunnel was dug decades ago. It is very small and old and can only accommodate one car. Passing vehicles must stop first when they reach the entrance of the tunnel.
He checked to see if there was any car coming from the other side and drove in without turning on his headlights.
It was dark inside the tunnel, and there were no lights. The road below was full of potholes. On both sides and overhead, there were exposed rock walls that had not been treated with cement slurry. The entire tunnel was a completely original cave.
Once it is leveled, it will be opened to traffic.
As the car drove inside the tunnel, there were constant drops of water dripping down from the roof, falling loudly on the roof of the car.
Fortunately, the mountains here are made of hard granite. Although the tunnels are simple, there is no risk of safety.
After passing through the tunnel, you will suddenly see trees, lawns, antique buildings, and the green Qiandao Lake exposed after the two mountains are pushed to the side, unfolding before your eyes like a scroll.
The reason why the tunnel is so crude and so many years have not been invested in renovation is because after passing through the tunnel, there is only one place to go, which is the Qiandao Lake Tourist Terminal in Yongcheng.
Although a quarter of the water surface of Qiandao Lake belongs to Yongcheng City, for the purpose of unified management, the jurisdiction of this part of the water surface has been entrusted to the neighboring county Chun'an. The development of scenic spots on the lake is basically in Chun'an County
Within the country, foreigners who come to Qiandao Lake to travel generally take the high-speed rail or drive directly from the expressway to Qiandao Lake Town, the county seat of Chun'an County.
Very few people take the route from Yongcheng to Qiandao Lake. This cruise ship dock has become a place where almost only locals travel to and from Qiandao Lake, so there are not many people.
From the cruise ship pier, along the mountains on the side, there was originally only a winding path that bypassed the mountain col in front and turned to another lake bay. It turned out that there was a village called Shibahu. From the name, you can know the name of this village.
Xiao, the entire village has now been expropriated by Liu Ligan and his friends, and developed into a B&B for the "Thousand Islands Family".
It is said to be a B&B. The scale here is equivalent to a small hotel. It is one of the largest B&Bs in Renjia Tourism and one of their most popular B&Bs. Some powerful companies in Hangzhou and Shanghai are very popular.
I like to come here to hold internal company meetings or team building.
The B&B can accommodate thirty or forty people at the same time, with complete supporting facilities. There is also a lakeside garden attached to the B&B. When Zhang Chen designed it, he tried his best to retain the original style, even the original adobe houses of the local villagers.
Two buildings have also been preserved and converted into supporting rooms for B&Bs.
It's not surprising that for such a large B&B, when Sheng Chuncheng found out that it was fully booked and only one guest was staying here, he felt a little strange.
The original winding trail was transformed by Renjia Tourism into an asphalt road that could accommodate one car. The road was covered with pine needles and pine hair balls of Masson pine. Cars driving on it made a rustling sound.
The sound of kacha kacha.
After turning around the mountain col in front and driving into another bay parallel to the pier, we arrived at the "Qiandao Family", where users and staff dormitories are housed in a white-walled and black-tiled house. The driver dropped Sheng Chuncheng off.
Then we drove back to Hangzhou.
Those still working at the B&B include the store manager Xiao Wei, a waiter, and a chef from "Food and Drink". When Sheng Chuncheng arrived, there were four of them.
Xiaowei led Sheng Chuncheng to the dormitory, put down the luggage, and said to him: "I will take you to meet the guest first. When the guest knows that you have arrived, he can call you to come and serve him when he needs you.
"
Sheng Chuncheng nodded and said yes.
Sheng Chuncheng followed Xiaowei to the main building of the B&B. Xiaowei did not go in, but led him to a path on the side, walked along the lakeside garden, turned around the bottom of the bay, and then
When you turn around, there is a masson pine forest here.
In this pine forest, when the water level of Qiandao Lake is high, their roots are in the water. When the water level is low, they are completely exposed. Now is the dry season, and the roots of the forest are a swamp. They walk along a
The trail made of suspended moso bamboo creaks towards the lake, and you can smell the fragrance of rosin and the fishy smell of mud on both sides.
At the end of the moso bamboo trail, there is a platform also made of moso bamboo, facing the water. On the platform, there is a pavilion with a bamboo frame and a thatched roof.
Sheng Chuncheng saw a chair in the pavilion with a person sitting on it. Next to it was a bamboo table with a glass stove on which tea was boiled.
When he got closer, Sheng Chuncheng saw that sitting there was a thin middle-aged man in his fifties. His face was very white, to the point of being pale. Although there was not much wind at the lake, the weather was
It was cold, and he had a blanket over his shoulders and another blanket over his knees.
He stared at the lake in front of him quietly, motionless. Even when Xiaowei and Sheng Chuncheng approached, he didn't react at all. If he hadn't seen his eyes open, Sheng Chuncheng would have thought he was asleep.
"Mr. Sun, this is the masseur. If you need it, you can call him at any time, 24 hours a day, to serve you." Xiaowei said to him.
Mr. Sun's face was expressionless, as if he had not heard Xiaowei's words. After a few minutes, he turned his head. It seemed that he did not look at them. He just nodded slightly, then turned back and continued to look at the lake.
Xiaowei tilted her head towards Sheng Chuncheng and said softly: "Let's go."
Sheng Chuncheng nodded, and they walked back along the bamboo path.
