Travel Notes | Huzhou Taihu Lake

Huzhou Taihu Resort is about 12 kilometers away from Yishang Street. The definition of Lakeside should be that you can walk to Taihu Lake from the hotel. According to this definition, there are only two hotels in the resort that are truly "Lakeside", one is Taihu Junlan and the other is "Toilet Seat" ”Sheraton.

I stayed at Taihu Junlan, and the hotel was very good. One night I walked from the hotel to the Sheraton; one morning I drove to the Sheraton and ran away. There is no way, this mountain looks higher than that mountain. I was originally supposed to go to the Wuyue Qiucheng Ruins Cultural Park, which is about the same distance away. It was one of the three cities (Qiucheng, Pengcheng, and Wucheng) built by the Wu State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but I couldn’t resist the temptation of the toilet seat, so I put all the history and humanity aside.

The sky is cloudy and the temperature has dropped. The wind is blowing, and it's really not that cold by the lake.

View of the endless Taihu Lake from the hotel balcony

From this path, swipe your hotel room card and lead to the Taihu embankment.

Go to the right of the embankment and there is a huge ugly building, Yacht Club

In the huge parking lot in front, someone is actually practicing reversing.

It's a cold spot in the off-season, but everything else is perfect

Go left, toward the Sheraton

There is a small film and television city

There is a coffee shop every 50 meters

There are three styles: London, Paris and Tokyo.

There is no one and no one knows where the BMW owner is hiding.

so called london style

Paris style, actually built a very tall Eiffel Tower

Exit the hotel area

There is Taihu Lake on one side and the villa area on the other. It’s so exciting to take a peek at the mansion.

Take out your phone and check how much the house price is.

Wow, this house is quite beautifully decorated.

Every time I recall what Xiao Yuzi told me, even if people in Zhejiang are in debt, they still want to live in luxury houses.

Return to the hotel along the same route, there is an open-air hot spring in the woods on the left

From the corner of my eye, I saw someone taking a bath, Amitabha, chanting sutras.

Later I realized that I was wearing a bathing suit while soaking in the hot springs, so...

Returning to the room, I was pleasantly surprised to find that today is the 15th

I was pleasantly surprised to remember that I brought a telephoto lens with me.

Although after reading "In Search of Lost Time" I understand a truth

There is no scenery in this world that cannot be described in words

Only crappy and lazy authors

But the bright moon shining on Taihu Lake is so beautiful that it cannot be described in words.

I couldn't help but run out again at night

The moon hid in the clouds

"The clouds break and the moon comes, the flowers make shadows"

Dancing snow and singing clouds. Wear light makeup evenly. Blue stream water, dark dyed light skirt.

The face is drunk with wine, and the pink color brings spring. More skillful conversation, beautiful temperament, good spirit.

There is no bank in the sky. Wherever the waves are, there are green willows and red gates beside the moon bridge.

The bell is broken and its corner is broken, sending off the dusk again. Feeling sad about something in my heart, tears in my eyes, and someone I like.

The toilet seat has arrived

The illuminated Moon Bridge has a romantic atmosphere comparable to Yokohama Port

Lighting is installed on the vertical surface of the stairs

If you stand on a bridge and no bright light hits your eyes, save power and materials.

Thumbs up to the smart Zhejiang people

Carousel at Moon Plaza

The toilet seat is smaller than I thought...

In the evening, I saw on Baidu Map that there is a long embankment at the Sheraton. I was really, really curious about what it looked like next to Taihu Lake. I drove to the Sheraton the next day and went to have a look... I also admired my boredom.

Rampage route

The hotel lobby is on the left foot. Can the guests staying on the right foot go through the top of the circle?

The path to the right foot in the garden is closed

ah! It's also possible to go through the underwater basement.

Find a path at the back entrance of Sheraton Gardens

Turn right after passing several Balinese-style villas that don’t look like serious places

It looks a bit shabby from a distance. Do you want to go?

Think like the stone statue on the right in the photo😑

After walking a short distance along the dirt road, my vision suddenly opened up.

The inner lake enclosed by the embankment is also very large.

Walk to the bridge between the two inner lakes and look back

Opposite is Xiaomei Mountain, with several hotels and restaurants on it.

Beside the lake is a villa area called "Financial Town"

The bridge divides this area into two

The garden in the north belongs to the financial town, with complete plank paths and pavilions.

The south side is still under development, and several construction workers looked at me in surprise.

I turned the corner and went to the south first. I had a hunch that there seemed to be nothing to see.

Even the photos have to add a filter

several abandoned buildings

We walked from the boardwalk to the financial town.

On such a straight road, I really can't resist the temptation to walk to the end...

Is this for exercise for Jinling from the financial town?

Bull rush, bear rush...jump into the lake

Looking back at the way we came, it was really long~~~~

Let’s buy a balance bike and put it on the car in the future!

It was already 11:30 when I got back, and I checked out and headed to Yixing. Although the shape of the Sheraton has been spoofed, I think it is quite interesting to watch both at night and during the day. The construction of the motherland is changing with each passing day. A few years ago, when I was in Yokohama Port, I thought the Valentine's Day lights there were very romantic. In just a few years, the small Huzhou City Caught up, surrounded by green mountains and listened carefully.

There is a castle called Columbus Taihu Castle on the top of Xiaomei Mountain. It is said that there is an afternoon tea with Internet celebrities. When I went to the city center the day before, the taxi driver told me that in the past, resort hotels were all concentrated on the top of Xiaomei Mountain. Later, when planning and construction, these hotels Because it was too old and the style was too old, they were all demolished, leaving only the Greek-Mediterranean style Columbus Taihu Castle. Because of its unique appearance, it happened to be the popular Internet celebrity style. It was repaired and reopened. It is said that the owner of the castle committed a crime in China in the early days of reform and opening up, fled to Spain to engage in cattle breeding business, made a fortune, and returned to cooperate with the government in the construction of Huzhou. Building this castle can be considered a crime and meritorious service.

The driver pointed out to me a large demolished community. This is where the farmers who used to live in the village near Taihu Lake are now resettled. The government took over their land and now they have built villas, hotels and restaurants. "If you ask Suzhou and Wuxi to go to Taihu Lake to collect land, I'm afraid the price will be high and not cost-effective." He said, "So it is good for us in Huzhou to develop land late."

"Then who lives in the villa now?" I asked.

"I'm definitely not a part-time worker," the driver said. "There's nothing to envy. I don't think I'm inferior to them, either."

It really reminds me of Su Dongpo's sentence, "The people are satisfied with the benefits of fish, rice and lotus, and they only seek little but do not fight."

He said, "In the past, only one of the brothers and sisters was doing well. It was useless, and the psychology was still unbalanced. Now that everyone is better, only when we go out to parties and spend money can we really be happy, and the contradiction will go away. You spend 80 Clothes bought for 1 yuan and clothes bought for 800 yuan are definitely different when worn. "

I thought to myself, the good face of Zhejiang people is not just bragging.

Later, when I talked to the driver about my parents, his comments were heart-wrenching, "Everything goes well when the family is in harmony," he said. I said, brother, you won’t install a camera in my house, right? He laughed. Suddenly I felt that the world is so big that we can have a heart-to-heart talk even if we meet by chance. People should not be too obsessed and pessimistic.
