Taitai Ancient Road, located from Taihu Village in Nanyan Town to Shunxi Town, was an important transportation route between Pingyang and Thailand and Fujian in ancient times. Shunxi is surrounded by high mountains. In the past, in order to enter Shunxi, apart from the waterway, the only land route was the Tatai Ancient Road from Taihu Lake. It can be seen that the Tatai Ancient Road existed as early as the Tang and Song Dynasties.
On the morning of Sunday, October 10, five outdoor hiking enthusiasts from the Pingyang Sports Association met to drive from Aojiang to visit the Tetai Ancient Trail, and learn about and inspect the tourist attractions along the route. At 8:30 in the morning, they arrived at Sanxing Village, Nanyan Town. The Titai Ancient Trail passes through Sanxing Village and Tangji Village in Nanyan Town and Xiashunxi Village in Shunxi Town. Because the water in this section of the Shunxi Stream in the upper reaches of the Aojiang River is clear and pollution-free and runs parallel to the ancient trail, the green mountains and green waters on both sides complement each other. , the scenery is very beautiful.
Walking into Sanxing Village, there is an old street along the stream, which still retains some old architectural features. There are wooden and stone pavilions, houses and other ancient buildings on both sides of the road. . After passing Sanxing Village, we arrived at the boundary of Tangji Village. At the edge of the village, rows of red lanterns hang high, with the word "畲" on each lantern, and the text on the publicity wall tells the story of the Tang Foundation to the present day. This is a minority village where She and Han people live together. Because there is the foundation site of an ancient nunnery here, it is named Tangji Village.
The mountains here are as green as green. Although it is the autumn season, they are still full of green. It is said that the water in Nanyan is beautiful. The beauty lies in the foundation of the church. Among the green mountains and green water, a stream runs through it. Under the reflection of the autumn sunshine, it is sparkling and extremely cute. Standing on the shore, picking up a handful of water in the palm of my hand, a chilling feeling hit my heart. A few reeds, charming and dancing by the water, embellish the breeze. "The jianjia is green and the white dew is frost; the so-called beauty is on the side of the water." This scenery is impressive.
Green hills, green bamboos, ancient roads, waterfalls, a newlywed couple took photos at the foundation of the church, and the inscription "A Hundred Years of Love" was carved on the stone beside the gurgling stream, leaving a testimony of their lifelong love for each other. Tangji Village has built a village with cultural characteristics for wedding photography, improved supporting facilities, and the influence of wedding photography locations has gradually expanded. So far, more than 30 wedding photography studios from Pingyang, Cangnan, Ruian, Wencheng, Taishun, Wenzhou, Fujian and other places have come here to take wedding photos. The most popular day is more than 100 couples. Today, Nanyantangji Village has become an important wedding photography base with distinctive characteristics in southern Zhejiang and northern Fujian.
This section of the Titai Ancient Road is about three kilometers from Xiashunxi Village in Shunxi Town. There is a wooden plank road connecting it along the stream. Walking on the plank road, you can watch the "clear stream winding up the mountain, and thousands of bamboos calling in the forest." Thrush. It does not diminish the beautiful scenery of Tongjiang River, and a pole of autumn water is most suitable." This ancient poem "About Shunxi" is the praise of Sun Qiangming, a famous scholar in the Qing Dynasty, for the mountains and rivers along the river. It is also a true portrayal of the beauty of the mountains and rivers along the river. Shunxi is named after the stream. It is famous for its water, quiet water and deep water.
