Wagangzhai ecotourism manor
Wagangzhai in Lianrao Town is located on the hillside in front of Yangdong Village, with Xingguang Village in the east, Yangdong Old Highway in the west, Raoping County Forestry Institute in the south and fish ponds in the north. The tile factory in Wagangzhai was built at the end of Qing Dynasty, with 4 tile kilns, 4 tile workshops, 1 shed for drying tiles, 2 rows of tile warehouses and 4 well-preserved kiln mouths. Every working procedure and site of tile-making technology in tile factory are completely preserved, which has certain special historical color and traditional cultural value. 20 13 is listed as a county-level cultural relics protection unit.
According to legend, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the forage in the villagers' homes in Yangdong Village of Lianrao Town would disappear silently from time to time overnight, and there seemed to be messy hooves running between villages and lanes in the middle of the night, and the fruits and vegetables in the countryside were often trampled by hooves. In order to find out why this happened, and to make the village smooth and peaceful, the village leaders and elders invited Mr. Feng Shui from other places to see the details. It turns out that the hillside in front of Yangdong Village is a "horse breeding ground", where fierce horses are cultivated and refined, which is harmful to one side. So Mr. Feng Shui suggested that a building that can burn firewood should be built in Long Mai, Maguidi, to suppress Ma Jing's practical jokes. The elders concentrated the villagers' opinions and combined with the local natural conditions with abundant tile mud, built a small tile kiln in Maguidi to burn civil bricks and tiles, which could also suppress the insurrection in Ma Jing, so the wind of tile kiln appeared. After the completion of the tile factory, Taimin 'an in Yangdong Village was safe from now on. With the development of economy and the need of building houses in rural areas, by 1966, the number of tile kilns had expanded to four, which have been preserved to this day.
In order to protect, explore and integrate the cultural tourism resources in Lianrao, our town specially hired relevant experts to conduct on-site investigation, demonstration and planning, and rationally developed this area on 20 1 1. Now it has built a farmhouse resort integrating tourism, leisure and entertainment, and named it "Wagangzhai". Wagangzhai consists of eight functional areas: tourist area (tile-making technology), dining area, accommodation area, barbecue area, teahouse, picking area, fishing area and children's paradise.
With the splendid and long-standing Chaoshan tile-making culture as the background, relying on nearly a thousand acres of lakes and mountains, Wagangzhai has become a natural paradise that makes people feel relaxed and happy. Here, lush fruit trees are fruitful, colorful wildflowers are blooming all over Shan Ye, fish ponds are rippling in the breeze, and the primitive and quaint kiln mouth reflects a trace of farmers' life in the mountain village. After enjoying the natural beauty, you may wish to stay in the farmhouse restaurant surrounded by green trees and taste the original farmhouse banquet. Running pheasant, longan wine, wild vegetables and miscellaneous grains series food can be described as unique flavor and original ecological enjoyment. Or three or five friends and relatives set up the oven and bake whatever they want. Let you deeply intoxicated by the rich local flavor and simple folk customs.
