When it comes to the autumn colors of ancient villages, many people will think of Wuyuan, Jiangxi and Hongcun, Anhui, but in fact, there is a small village near Shenzhen, whose temperament is not lost at all, and it is hidden in the boudoir, which is basically not found on major travel websites!
At the same time, this quiet small village has been rated as "the most beautiful ancient village" at the national level in the past few months! The key is free tickets! Shenzhen can be reached in 2 hours, so go to this beautiful ancient village and enjoy the quiet time.
Zhongshan caobian village
This quiet village, which has been open for more than 800 years, was just rated as the "most beautiful village" at the national level last month. Only six villages in Guangdong are included in this list, and Caobian Village is one of them, which is a good choice for you to enjoy the slow time quietly.
The 80-year Caobian School is the collective memory of the villagers.
As soon as you enter Caobian Village, you will be attracted by Caobian School at the entrance of the village. This two-story bell tower is still intact after more than 80 years of wind and rain. It stands in Caobian village with a charm of integrating Chinese and foreign countries, and has become the collective memory of Caobian villagers.
If you are lucky, you can go inside and have a look. The classroom on the right is the activity center of the elderly in Caobian, and historical items related to overseas Chinese are displayed on the left.
When I walked into the school yard, I was suddenly enlightened and the light was good. Western-style buildings pay attention to lighting and protect children's eyesight.
Each classroom has a unique name to commemorate the overseas Chinese who made contributions to their hometown that year.
Although the school has been closed for nearly 20 years, it still retains the original teaching relics, and the blackboard newspaper on the back wall is still legible, as if there were children attending classes here yesterday.
Faint slate road, feel the mark of years.
Next to Caobian School is a Tianhou Palace, next to Sakura Garden, and next to it is a stout old banyan tree, at least 100 years old. Fellow villagers say this is the Feng Shui tree in Caobian Village.
There is a long Marsh Street and many narrow deep alleys in Yingyuan. Blue brick houses with Lingnan characteristics and western-style watchtowers are scattered on both sides of the alley. Walking on the stone road is like crossing time and space.
After walking out of Yingyuan, walk along Huali Street. "Huali" is the name of an overseas Chinese in Caobian. You can also see the houses carved with blue bricks and gray, and the towering towers in the group.
The village built on the mountain has the feeling of a paradise, and this mountain is the back door mountain of Caobian Village and is regarded as a geomantic forest by the villagers. The fengshui forest is lush with trees, swaying shadows and a cool breeze.
The watchtower standing in the rice field has a unique flavor.
Walking out of Huali Street, you can see the most wanted scenery, the turret in the rice field!
At the beginning of the last century, some large families in Caobian built watchtowers at the edge of the village and built watchtowers for themselves to safeguard the safety of the whole village and their homes.
Today, the rotten turret standing in the rice field is cylindrical and the top is incomplete. A plant actually grew, and the branches were ruthlessly drilled out of the hole in the turret. The sharp contrast between destruction and rebirth creates a unique beauty.
There are 50 acres of paddy fields in Caobian village. After 10, the green rice fields are a little golden, and the wind blows the rice waves. Walking on the ridge of the field, I just want to hum a song "The breeze blows on my face with the taste of harvest".
Next to the memorial archway of Houmen Mountain in Caobian Village, there is also a temple of Wuhou, dedicated to the main family Zhuge Wuhou, quietly telling us the story of time.
Haven't you seen enough of Caobian Village? ! These scenic spots around you feast your eyes.
The exhibition garden of Zhongshan Building tells the story of time.
Who said you have to go to Anhui to see Huizhou architecture? It takes more than ten minutes to walk from Caobian Village to Zhan Garden, also known as Zhongshan Mansion Gate, which features Huizhou architecture and is the largest private garden in Lingnan.
The owner of the garden originally built this garden in the hope that his mother could spend the rest of her life here, but in the end her mother settled in Macao with her owner, a very cleverly designed Huizhou garden. It will be open to the outside world and become a scenic spot.
The garden design is patchy, with terraces and pavilions, cornices and animal ridges, small bridges and flowing water, flowers and trees, and accompanied by guzheng music flowing slowly in the garden, I just want to sit for a while.
The little fairy who loves beauty can rent Hanfu here and take some beautiful photos of ancient costumes to satisfy her dream of ancient costumes. You can also participate in making filial piety cakes and feel the valuable "filial piety" of the garden owner.
Beitai Forest Park enjoys the quiet time of lakes and mountains.
There is also a Beitai Forest Park opposite the exhibition garden. When I first entered the park, I could only see the ancient promenade with Lingnan architectural characteristics, which was integrated with Huzhou Mountain behind me.
You can choose to climb to the top of the mountain and go straight, or you can choose to make pottery with your parents, explore a cabin in the forest, or have an exciting CS field game.
Go straight up along the ramp of the tree-lined road. After a few minutes, the scenery suddenly became clear. It turns out that there is still a lake and a clear pool hidden in the mountain. Antique cloisters surround this Wang Qingchi, and a quiet garden atmosphere comes to my face.
There are also suspension bridges and ancient pavilions in the mountains. I can't help but sit down and have a rest, feeling the mountain wind coming slowly, breathing the negative ions in the air, and feeling refreshed.
