Tianning Temple is one of the ten largest temples in China. According to records, it was built in the Han Dynasty and was originally named Chanyue Monastery. In the fourth year of Song Chongning (1105), it was renamed Tianning Yongzuo Chan Temple, or Tianning Temple for short. It is a key Buddhist site in Zhejiang Province. The main structures of Tianning Temple include the Thousand Buddha Pavilion and Zhenhai Pagoda.

After the war of liberation, it was further battered by typhoons and underwent multiple repairs and renovations to reach its present state.

After getting a number, you can stroll around the ancient town, walk through the small streets, cross the small bridges, and take photos at the big character wall near Shendan Coffee. We tried the White Soy Sauce Popsicle (18 CNY, a salty-sweet flavor that wasn't bad) and enjoyed the peach blossoms. Including lunch, the whole trip took about three hours, so half a day is enough.

Chendang Ancient Town. If I hadn’t loved Yu Hua’s works, I might never have discovered this hidden coastal gem in Zhejiang. Mr. Yu Hua’s “I want to swim until the sea turns blue” acted as an introduction, leading me to his hometown - Haiyan. 👉Following the writing style of "a portion of fried pork liver, two taels of rice wine, warm the rice wine" in Xu Sanguan Selling Blood, I stepped into the Victory Hotel described by Yu Hua, and wandered in the Shendang Town with a history of more than 2,000 years, as if I had stepped into the other world of his novel. 📍Location: Benhu West Road, Chendang Town, Haiyan County, Jiaxing City 🚙Transportation: You can drive directly to "Victory Hotel". Passengers taking the high-speed rail can first go to Jiaxing South Station, then take bus No. K175🚎 to Songpo East Road Station, scan the code and pay 2 yuan. The whole journey takes about 30 minutes. 🎫Tickets: Free 📸Photography check-in spots in Chendang Old Street: • Shengli Hotel (Figure 2) is located on Benhu West Road, Chendang Town, Haiyan County, Jiaxing City (❗️Please note that this is not the Victory Hotel on North Street) • Xuanhutang Cafe (the two characters “沉荡” in Figure 1 are located here) • Café on Chendang West Street (Figure 3) •Shendang Barn (Figure 4) • Barn Bookstore (Figure 5) Although Chendang Ancient Town is not as famous as Nanxun and Wuzhen, it perfectly reproduces the scenes in Yu Hua's literary world. A great choice for a day trip around Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai to avoid crowds!

During the Tongzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty, the Feng family of Haiyan built a house and garden. The house was completed in 1870. The hall is named "Sanle," which comes from the "Mencius" chapter "Jinxin Shang": "Parents are both alive, brothers are without incident, one joy; looking up without shame to heaven, looking down without shame to people, two joys; obtaining the world's talents and educating them, three joys." Based on the remains of the Zhuyixuan and Yanyuan gardens built by the previous generations in the area, the garden was built in 1871. The garden was initially built on a small scale. The Feng family named the garden "Qiyuan" after their wife, which means "beautiful makeup box." The garden has been renovated several times and is now a national key cultural relic protection unit.

Friends who travel, remember to bring enough snacks~ The hotel is within a 2-hour drive from Shanghai, which is very convenient for BBs traveling in Shanghai~ In short, taking children out to Jiaxing Forest Park must be a very good choice, parent-child + pet friendly really not much! Cheers children and pets friends quickly collect and take pictures ~

My first fall of the new year was in the air-raid shelter in Fengyi Village. On the first day of the new year, I went to Fengyi Village after visiting the Salt Officer's Tide Music City. The village is usually very quiet, but it was busy during the new year. The parking lot was full, so we parked on the side of the road in the village. I thought I could go straight to the air-raid shelter, but I ended up climbing to the top of the mountain. Who said this was a relaxing climb? The mountain isn't high, but the path is steep. I was exhausted. I kept thinking about how I hadn't reached the air-raid shelter yet, and then I reached the top of the mountain. There's actually a path around the back of the mountain that leads straight to the air-raid shelter. I hope the attraction can make some improvements. The slope at the corner of the air-raid shelter is very slippery, and there are no handrails on either side. If an older person slips, it could be very dangerous. My first fall of the new year, and all my bad luck is gone!

The word "Ganpu" was first recorded in the first Chinese book on water systems, the "Shui Jing" (Water Classic), which states: "(County) Southeast has Qinwang Mountain, with Gushui River flowing out to form Ganpu." The Gan River has flowed for thousands of years. Today, the word "Gan" in Ganpu is annotated in the "Modern Chinese Dictionary" as: "Ganpu, a place name, in Zhejiang." The only places named "Gan" are "Gan River" and "Ganpu," making Ganpu in China unique. In the fifth year of the Tang Dynasty's Kaiyuan era (717 AD), Ganpu was established as a town. If "China's ancient towns are in Jiaxing, then Jiaxing's ancient towns are in Ganpu." In the history of Jiaxing's town establishment, Ganpu is the first ancient town with documented records and a clear timeline. According to the "Zhiyuan Jiahe Zhi," we know that during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Jiaxing had seven towns, with Ganpu having the longest history. In the 19th year of the Ming Dynasty's Hongwu era (1386 AD), Ganpu began to build a city, with the east gate named "Yanchun," the west gate "Suwu," the south gate "Jingming," the north gate "Gongchen," and a water gate. Today, "Suwu" still exists, "Gongchen" has been rebuilt, and the ancient town's layout remains largely unchanged. The 750-year-old ginkgo tree in the Taoist temple in the city has witnessed the rise and fall of the ancient town. Today, the ancient town still has quiet streets and alleys, with stone roads polished smooth as mirrors by countless footsteps. The old houses along the street have white walls and black tiles, with exquisitely carved doorways, exuding a strong sense of life and historical accumulation. Whenever the morning mist lingers or the setting sun shines obliquely, the ancient town is rendered into a series of moving ink paintings, making people indulge in this tranquility and beauty.

Zhou Xinbo's former residence is commonly known as "Zhou's House". It was built in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. Because the house number is exactly 100, people call it "No. 100 Zhou's House". It is said that "No. 100 Zhou Family" has a total of 99 houses. Zhou Xinbo opened a textile factory in Shanghai and invested in the Commercial Press. The house he built had a complex structure and exquisite layout, consisting of wing rooms, a main house, a hall, a patio, a corridor, a hall, a pond, and a garden. It was demolished in the 1960s, and now only the second courtyard and the side rooms remain, totaling six brick-and-wood bungalows, covering an area of ​​about 200 square meters. Historical buildings in Haiyan County. Zhou Xinbo, whose name was Changqi and whose courtesy name was Xinbo, was extremely intelligent since childhood. After Zhou Xinbo became the manager of "Rixinsheng" ("Rixinsheng", "Rixinzeng", "Rixinchang", all known as "Sanrixin" in old Shanghai, it was opened by a native of Yanpu and was a giant in cotton cloth wholesale in Shanghai at that time), he adjusted the business strategy to focus on cotton cloth wholesale, and the cotton cloth was exported to Hong Kong and many places in Southeast Asia. As a result, Zhou Xinbo was elected as a director of Shanghai Zhenhuatang Foreign Cloth Company and became an important figure in the cotton cloth industry in Shanghai at that time.

😘Isn't a sunrise over the sea worth getting up early for? I took some beautiful photos of the winter sunrise over the sea. I invite my friends on the Internet to come to my hometown to watch the sunrise! Although it's cold to watch the sunrise in winter, you can get up a little later. The most important thing is that there is often misty water vapor. Even if the sun rises higher, it is still soft. If you come at low tide, you can also see the beach like gold foil. Perhaps the water and mud are made of broken gold. 😘The sea in Haiyan belongs to the waters of Hangzhou Bay, which leads directly to the East China Sea. You can also see the Hangzhou Bay Bridge from a distance. It takes only more than an hour to drive from Hangzhou or Shanghai. ❤️You can choose [Guanhai Garden] as the navigation address. Entering Guanhai Garden, you can get close to the sea like P5-7. But this time I found that you can go south a little further after seeing the stone tablet of Guanhai Garden without entering. Then you will have the beautiful view of P1-4. 😘Transportation: 1 hour and 40 minutes by car from downtown Shanghai Tickets: Parking and tickets are free at present. Parking: There are two parking lots. P1 is at the intersection, which is relatively large, but you have to walk 400-500 meters to the entrance. P2 is at the entrance, so it is more convenient to park there. ❤️If the weather is fine and the air quality is good, it will be very beautiful to fly a drone. It will be a little less beautiful to watch on the ground. But what else can you ask for in a free scenic spot?

The Former Residence of Bi Hongshu, located at No. 19, Beixiao Street, Ganpu Town, is also known as "Nianyuan". It was built in the Qing Dynasty, with a three-bay brick and wood structure, covering an area of nearly 300 square meters. The building is deep and layered, with windows that can be opened to allow air circulation. The rooms are separated, providing privacy for residents. It is a key cultural relic in Haiyan County. Bi Hongshu, a native of Ganpu, was a seal carver and calligrapher during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. He was skilled in poetry and calligraphy, especially in seal script and clerical script. He spent four years revising and printing the incomplete manuscript of "Liushu Tong", making it a valuable tool for Chinese calligraphy and seal carving. "Liushu Tong" has been reprinted many times and holds an important position in the field of Chinese calligraphy and seal carving. After the publication of "Liushu Tong", Bi Hongshu continued to revise and supplement the book, but passed away before it could be reprinted. Decades later, his grandson Bi Xinghai revised and supplemented the book, and compiled "Liushu Tong Zhi Yi" in the sixth year of Jiaqing (1801). Bi Hongshu and Bi Xinghai devoted a lot of effort to the creation of "Liushu Tong", a masterpiece that has been passed down through generations. Their dedication to the book has become a legendary story in the literary world.
