Ningbo Siming Mountain | A beautiful wonderland in eastern Zhejiang.
| A beautiful wonderland in eastern Zhejiang. Dear friends👫, today I want to recommend to you Ningbo’s treasure mountain range - Siming Mountain🏞️.
🌳【Beautiful natural scenery】
Siming Mountain spans Yuyao, Haishu and Fenghua in Ningbo, and connects Shengzhou and Shangyu in Shaoxing. The mountains here are undulating and the hills are stacked, as if it is a masterpiece carefully carved by nature with supernatural craftsmanship. The mountains are continuous, some are towering, some are round and beautiful, and each mountain has its own unique charm. When you climb to the top of the mountain and overlook the rolling mountains and the vast land, the magnificent scenery will make you forget all your worries in an instant.
The vegetation in Siming Mountain is extremely rich, with a forest coverage rate of over 90%. Walking into the forest, it feels like being in a green world. The towering trees block out the sun, and the sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of light. There are various vegetation landscapes here, including evergreen broad-leaved forests, Cryptomeria fortunei corridors, Golden Larch forests, and cypress forests. In autumn, the maple leaves gradually turn red, and the entire Siming Mountain looks like an overturned palette, colorful and beautiful. The red maples all over the mountains, burning like flames, have become a paradise for photography enthusiasts. In winter, Siming Mountain will be covered with snow, turning into a silver-clad world of ice and snow. Rime, icicles and other unique landscapes can be seen everywhere, like an ice and snow kingdom in a fairy tale.
💧【Water system is dynamic and adds charm】
Siming Mountain runs nearly north-south, dividing the mountain area into two major water systems, the Yongjiang River system in the east and the Cao'e River system in the west. The mountain stream flows gently, the water hits the rocks, splashing white water. Strolling along the stream, listening to the sound of flowing water, feeling the coolness of the water splashing on your face, it seems as if all the fatigue has been washed away. In some valleys, there are also spectacular waterfalls, such as the Baishuichong Waterfall. The waterfall hangs down from the mountain, as spectacular as the Milky Way falling from the sky. The water vapor is filled, and a beautiful rainbow is formed under the sunlight.
🏛️【Profound historical and cultural heritage】
Siming Mountain not only has beautiful natural scenery, but also has a profound historical and cultural heritage. This is an important part of the "Tang Poetry Road". From the early Tang Dynasty to the late Tang Dynasty, more than 160 poets wrote about Ningbo, mainly in Siming Mountain. The great poet Li Bai, Meng Jiao of the Tang Dynasty, and Du Fu all left beautiful poems here, adding a rich cultural atmosphere to Siming Mountain. Moreover, Siming Mountain is an old revolutionary base. It was once one of the 19 anti-Japanese bases in the country and one of the seven guerrilla warfare bases in the south. Liangnong Town was the headquarters of the Zhejiang East District Committee, the Zhejiang East Administrative Office and the Zhejiang East Guerrilla Column, and has the reputation of "Zhedong Yan'an".
🍱【Rich food, enjoy your taste buds】
When you come to Siming Mountain, you must not miss the local delicacies. Liangnong cake is a local specialty. The white cake is decorated with fillings of various colors. It has a soft and glutinous texture, sweet but not greasy. You will fall in love with it after taking a bite. There is also the delicious stream fish with tender meat. Whether it is braised or steamed, it can greatly satisfy your taste buds. The bamboo shoots that grow in the mountains and forests are fresh and delicious, and have a unique flavor whether they are stir-fried with shredded pork or stewed in soup.
