Ist day 27 April 2007 (Friday), We took 11:40pm train from Suzhou to HuangShan Town.

 

 

3rd Day 29 April 2007 (Sunday), We have started our mission at 5.10am to conquer the World Natural and Cultural Heritages Yellow Mountain, (The details will be on the next blog) hahahaha ..

 

 

 

 

     Hongcun, located at the southwestern foot of the YellowMountain and 11 kilometers away from Yi county, is a peculiar ox-shaped ancient village in the peach blossom valley of the ancient Yi county. Lying in the Thunder Hillock and facing the Southern Lake, it covers 30 hectares, and enjoys the good name of “Chinese village in picture”because of the beautiful mountain and water. The mountain is grassy because of the water, and the water is lively because of the mountain. In the shaoxing Period of the Southern Song Dynasty, people in Hongcun took the initiative in applying bionics by creating the unique artificial water system for firefighting and irrigation. They did everything according to the shape of the ox: the winding dam is the “intestine” of the ox; the “Moon Pond” dug beside the mouth of the spring is its “stomach”; the “Southern Lake” is its “belly”; the villagers lived in both sides of the “intestine” are its “body”. The sceneries of the mountain and the lake are in perfect harmony with layers of houses; the natural scenes and cultural implications reflect upon each other, --- the very uniqueness of the residence design in Hongcun, which distinguishes it from that of any other areas, and makes it as one of the wonders of the current World Historical and Cultural Heritage.
    Now there are more than 140 well-preserved folk residences of Ming and Qing Dynasties: the Ideal-Upholding Hall, famous for its exquisite and gorgeous “Three Sculptures” and thus called the “Civil Forbidden City”; the Southern Lake sceneries, the Southern Lake Academy, the Spring Morning of the Moon Pond, the Ox Intestine Ditch, the Jade Reflections of the Two Springs, the Big Tree in front of the Pavilion, the Sunset in the Thunder Hillock, the Man-Cultivating Hall, and one ancestral temple of Ming Dynasty: the Hearty Talk Hall etc. Around the village are the sights like the famous PheasantRockWoodcuttingBuilding, QishuLake, the Autumnal Sceneryin Tachuan, the BambooSea in Mukeng, the ancestral temple of Ming Dynasty in Wancun village: the Love and Respect Hall.
    Right after its foundation, the company conducted a lot of thorough researches and studies to the ancient Hongcun village, and invited some experts to formulate the “The Protection and Developing Plan of Hongcun Village”, which was unanimously passed in 1999 by the Experts Appraisal Committee of the National Construction Ministry, the Antique Management Bureau and other units concerned after they carried out a field investigation in Hongcun village. The village was formally assessed as the World Cultural Heritage in the 24th Meeting of the World Heritage Committee on November 30th, 2000, and one of the key units for cultural relics protection in the national level, plus the patriotic education base in AnhuiProvince in 2001. On December 30th, 2002, it joined the World Cultural Heritage Committee ofthe Association of Chinese Scenic Spots; in July, 2003, it was formally accessed as the state-list 4A scenic spot, and one of the first group of the famous historical and cultural villages in December, 2003. Hongcun Scenic Spot has excellently received many VIPs from the Party or the State, such as Mr. Jiang Zemin, former Secretary in General of the Central Committee of CPC in May 20th, 2001.
    Through the diligence of the ancestors and the protection from their offsprings, HongcunVillage has gained world-wide recognition. We will continue to make our efforts in protecting this precious heritage, developing and making use of its tourism resources, and enabling more and more people to know about it, and appreciating the profoundity in its culture.

 

宏村位于黟县城西北角，距屯溪65公里，距黟县县城11公里。该村始建于北宋，距今已近千年历史，原为汪姓聚居之地。古宏村人独出机抒开"仿生学"之先河，规划并建造了堪称"中华一绝"的牛形村落和人工水系，统看全村，就象一只昂首奋蹄的大水牛，成为当今"建筑史上一大奇观"。全村现保存完好的明清古民居有140余幢。民间故宫"承志堂"富丽堂皇，可谓皖南古民居之最。村内鳞次栉比的层楼叠院与旖旎的湖光山色交相辉映，动静相宜，空灵蕴藉，处处是景，步步入画。从村外自然环境到村内的水系、街道、建筑，甚至室内布置都完整地保存着古村落的原始状态，没有丝毫现代文明的迹象。造型独特并拥有绝妙田园风光的宏村被誉为"中国画里乡村"。

On 29th April 2007 (Sunday) 6.15am, we were standing under the rain wearing a raincoat and holding a crutch queuing infront of the ticket office for the Cable car tickets and entrance fees.  The China people had started their day so early for the tour, bear in mind we are NOT the earliest one...

 

Haha .. finally reached the mountain at 7.30am, we started our day to walk across all the mountains and enjoyed the sceneries.

However, we were unlucky with the weather, the rain seems to be following us all the way and made us uneasy to shoot photos and enjoyed the view

 

Due to lack of exercises, we two were the slowest among the gang we form personally,  we cant admit that we are old enough to walk across the mountain looo .. 

We have walked for about 10 hours non stop up and down the mountain in the 1st day and for about 5 hours walk down the mountain in 2nd day . No Joke ohh. Both of our leg damm painful after the mountain, i can't walk properly and yet i have been teased by the driver, restaurant people etc.. DAMN SHIT ...

 

However its realy a good experience for two of us and hope we stil able to visit you HUANGSHAN again in the future, hope that it is not too old that time ohh ... hahahaha

 

 

Huangshan Mountain in east China's Anhui province is one of Chinas ten best-known scenic spots, It is characterized by the four wonders, namely, odd-shaped pines, grotesque rock formation, seas of clouds and crystal-clear hot springs. Mount Huangshan is celebrated for having all the features of mountain scenery. Known as the No. 1 Mountain Under heaven, it features numerous imposing peaks(77 exceed an altitude of 1,000m), forests of stone pillars and evergreen sturdy pines; other features include grotesquely-shaped rocks (many of which are individually named, such as "pig-headed monk eating water melon"), waterfalls, pools and hot springs. Because of its mists and clouds, natural scenery in the area changes beyond prediction. Xu Xiake, a noted Chinese geologist and traveler in Ming Dynasty, praised Huangshan Mountain as the best of all mountains.

Mount Huangshan was listed as one of the World Natural and Cultural Heritages in 1990.

 

Mount Huangshan extends 40 kilometers from south to north and 30 kilometers from east to west, covering an area of 1200 square kilometers, the highlights of which occupy 154 square kilometers.
Huangshan Mountain is a marvel: within an area of 154 square kilometers there is a crowd of peaks, 72 of which have names indicating the shapes they resemble. Lotus, Brightness Top and Celestial Capital are the three major ones, all rising above 1,800 meters above sea level. The mountains are a body of granite, often with vertical joints. Erosion and fracture contributed to shape the rocks into huge columns, giving rise to lofty peaks and deep ravines. When it is cloudy the pinnacles loom in mists as if they were illusionary, while the sun is shining they unfold in all their majesty and splendor. Huangshan Mountain change its color and appearance with the alternation of seasons. In spring blooming flowers decorate the slopes in a riot of color and fill the valleys with fragrance; in summer you see verdure peaks rising one upon another and hear springs gurgling merrily. Autumn dresses the mountains in red and purple as maples and some other trees are blazing-red; winter turns them into a world of frost and ice with silver boughs and rocks everywhere. Here in Huangshan, pines and rocks are intimately involved with each other, almost every rock has a pine tree growing out of the crevice, and every tree has tortuous and gnarled roots and branches.The still sea of snow-white cloud can suddenly begin to roll and toss, rise or fall, gather or disperse while the peaks emerge and disappear in the clouds like isles in the ocean. So from ancient times it has been frequented by tourists seeking their mystery and admiring their frequented by tourists seeking their mystery and admiring their scenery. They come to the conclusion that the fantastic pines, the grotesque rocks, the sea of clouds and the hot springs are the four major attractions of the Yellow Mountains. As a matter of fact there are marvels almost everywhere, especially in the following scenic areas: Wenquan (Hot Spring), Yupinglou (Jade Screen Tower), Xihai ( West Sea), Beihai (North Sea), Yungusi (Cloud Valley Temple) and Songgu'an (Pine Valley Nunnery).

 

There is plentiful rainfall in Huangshan Mountain. Therefore there are thick forests.Owing to the peculiar terrain, the Huangshan Mountain's climate is marked by a vertical change, and the vertical distribution of vegetation is also distinctive: plants on the summit, on the middle levels and at the foot belong to the frigid, temperate and subtropical zones respectively. There are more than 1500 species of plants, of which trees comprise one third. So the Huangshan Mountain occupy an important place in China's botanical research. Here you will find century-old pines, firs, ginkgoes, actinidia, Chinese torreyas and camphor woods, remnants of the glacial era. A number of trees are celebrated on account of their age, grotesque shape, or precipitously perched position. Mount Huangshan abound in flowering plants; many of them are rare ones, such as Huangshan Rhododendron, magnolia as well as azalea, camellia, plum, lily, orchid, and so on. It has a rich store of medicinal herbs; more than 300 kinds are found here; the notable ones being glossy ganoderma ginseng, Chinese gold thread rhizome and Chinese cinnamon. Maofeng tea of Huangshan is well known at home and abroad.

 

Huangshan Mountains also provide the natural habitat for a wide variety of fauna. Among the animals there are monkeys, goats, deer, pangolin and squirrels. There are rare birds such as the red-billed leiothrix, the silver pheasant, the octave-tone bird and the oriole, all good singers. The red-billed leiothrix (called "love birds" in Chinese) are so lovely that they have become favorites of foreign tourists and are exported by pairs. Besides, chukkar(stone frog) from the streams is good to make delicious dishes with.

 

Mt. Huangshan's climate is mild and humid, neither too hot in summer nor too cold in winter, the temperature is agreeable all the year round .
It is cool in summer, averaging 70 °F at the North Sea Area ( 1 ,630 meters above sea) and 80 °F at Hot Spring Area (630 meters above sea) in July (the hottest month). As clouds often shut out the sun, hot weather never stays long, and this makes Yellow Mountains an ideal summer resort.
Mt.Huangshan lies in subtropical zones, so it's not quiet cold in winter, at least, not so cold as some people expected. The temperature ranges from 25 °F to 40 °F, but it's enough to result in a fantastic snow scenery and a silver world with pines and precipitous peaks covered with snow and decorated with icicles

 

Today Mt. Huangshan has become a world-famous tourist attraction. With its convenient facilities: three cable lines, four three-star hotels on the top, all the paths paved with flat stones, it lures millions of visitors both from home and abroad. Seeing is believing. Welcome to Mount Huangshan.

On 15 April 2007, Kim Siong and Yoke Lee have made a trip to visit us in Suzhou China for 5 days 4 nights as part of their Shanghai JiangNan honeymoon trip.  Beside Suzhou Town, we have visited one of the historic Town in ZheJiang China ie XiTang. It is one hour away from Suzhou Town.

 

Do visit my photos album ie Kim Siong and Yoke Lee Honeymoon Trip at Jiang Nan Suzhou for more photos.

From my album, you can see the XiTang historic town scenery (include Mission Impossible 3 shooting place), Suzhou scenery and how the couple enjoy the local food in China.

 

Xitang is level,densely distributed with rivers and has a very quiet natural environment.9 rivers converge in this town,dividing it into 8 sections,but many bridges link this water town together(anciently called as “nine dragon old pearl”and“wind from 8 sides”).Inside the town,there are many well-preserved architectural groups constructed during the Ming and Qing dynasties,which boast a higher artistry and study value,thus being highlighted by the experts at home and abroad studying antique buildings.Through a bird's-eye view of the whole town,green waves ripple everywhere and every family resides near water. In the morning,water flows beneath bridges,thin mist is like silk,pinkish walls on both banks stand tall and erect and tiled houses are reflected inversely in the water.In the evening,the setting sun shines slantwise,songs come from fishing boats,lamps flicker and the fragrance of wine drifts.The whole old town is like a poem and a picture.In this town,people will feel that they are seemingly in an earthly paradise.It is hard to know that people exist in the picture or picture exists in the heart of people.

 

西塘的廊棚以其独有的卓越风姿吸引中外游客。西塘街道大多有廊棚覆盖，使商贾贸易、行人过往无雨淋日晒之忧。廊棚沿河一侧有的还设置靠背长椅，供人休息。廊棚多为木架瓦顶，一般宽2-2.5米，集中在北栅街、南栅街、朝南埭等商业区，总长锝?000米，既可遮阳又可避雨。其中有一段最为雅致出色，有翻轩两层雕刻花纹，令游人叹为观止.

 

水乡西塘在全国同列的古镇中颇具特色，以桥多、弄多、廊棚多而闻名于世。镇区河港纵横，河桥密布。至1998年，全镇共建桥104座。自宋以来，西塘已建有安仁桥、安境桥、安善桥、仁桥、五福桥、永宁桥、清宁桥等13座。清代又建有卧龙桥、渡禅桥、来凤桥等。这些古桥大都为单孔或三孔石柱木梁桥。桥梁工艺精湛，至今保护完整，即具有观赏价值，自古誉为"卧龙凌波，彩虹飞架"。

 

宅弄为古镇西塘的又一特色景观，西塘宅弄极能反映出西塘人的性格。宅弄深处，曲径通幽，不知深几许，行至尽头，豁然开朗，别有新洞天。镇上原有古老旧居，宅深弄长，有的三、五进、七进，住着二三十户人家，都在宅弄里进出。

 

西塘民风醇厚，市场繁华，清逸秀丽，移步换景。古宅如种福堂、薛宅，古庙如七老爷庙、圣堂及名园西园、陆坟银杏，都是玩赏游览之处，都会引出一段与历史交融的西塘佳话。
