Returning from Mount Huaguo, Lianyungang Impression

From the Journey to the West, I know that there is a Waterfall Cave and the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits, from the 1998 university enrollment classmates know the hometown of the Great Sage of the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits in Lianyungang, from the Belt and Road Initiative, I know that Lianyungang City, the Eurasian Continental Bridge bridge;

And the elders of the mind to go to the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits to see the monkeys, and in this way with the elders across the small half of China from a countryside of the Jianghan Plain with the desire to go to the Lianyungang City in the National Day of 2021. The National Day in 2021 went to Lianyungang.

Flying intercity train to Lianyungang, the city of mountains and the sea, a string of shell wind chimes, a few songs of the Tang monks and disciples in the Huaguo Mountain scenic area of the dance, has given the first trip in October to play the deep memories of the poke.

And all the way back from the Huaguo Mountain to the hotel's two gold hoops, because it can not be stuffed into the suitcase on the shelves under the countertop, the hotel's attentive housekeeping staff in the night bed service, leaving two books, children a snack and slippers, the night at dinner back to the hotel, the feeling is that the Sun Yat-sen sent the little fairy sent to send an extra surprise.

Traveling, not necessarily to see the breathtaking scenery, or taste those special delicacies, sometimes in the streets of foreign places to see the life of the locals, in the pool side of the selection of some feed in the sunshine sitting on the ground, feed those stained with the Sun Da Sheng aura of the fish, but also all the way to the harvest of the most beautiful scenery.

Out of their own familiar environment, found elsewhere in the normal life of the wonderful, heart feel the beauty of life, is the meaning of travel and my elders.

With the elders tour, they are a mobile strategy, eat, live, play, buy and see a variety of programs before the departure is to spend most of the day to do a good job of the ABC program, the first step to do the program is to determine the main tone of the tour.

To be close to the sea, look at the mountains, look at the sea look at the Huaguo Mountain, this tone is determined, it is good to choose a place to stay, and then use this to determine the traffic out of the tour route and tour program, will not lose focus, you can maximize the utility of the time out of the tour.

Outside the day play down, dinner and then back to the hotel, have the energy to look at the photo record a few lines of text as a day clock time memories poke, in the hotel usually do not have too much heart and energy to do the next day's play homework, at best based on a pre-done tour plan on the conversion of the ABC program or fine-tuning.

Of the four classical literary masterpieces, Journey to the West has y branded Mount Huaguo. Yuntai Mountain is the final home of the heroes in Water Margin.

Whether you are looking at the city style and old street scenery, Salt River Lane, Democracy Road Old Street, Haizhou Ancient City, etc. are destinations that can be included in the ABC program. If you like to see the mountains and the sea, pick a suitable season, Huaguo Mountain, the sea Yuntai Mountain and so on will give people a fairyland-like feeling.

In the Huaguo Mountain, there is a China's highest coastal areas, the earliest pagoda, it is built in the Song Dynasty Sheng years (1025) of the Ashoka Tower, nearly a thousand years after several earthquakes, it is amazing at the time of the craftsmen to build this pagoda's skills, or the pagoda itself has a God blessing, it will be unharmed again and again, "through the robbery! ".

Opposite the Jinling Yuntai Hotel is Lianyungang's largest city public **** green space - Cangwu Green Park; Cangwu is one of the ancient names of Lianyungang, "lush Cangwu sea mountain", the Song Dynasty traveler and gourmet Su Dongpo had recorded in his poems this way! Cangwu impression.

Cangwu Green Park in Haizhou District, in Lianyun District, in the sea side of the park is not far from the Beigushan Ecological Park, like the mountains and the sea leisure walking tour, in the neighborhood of the hotel to here are very close.

Lianyungang with their own footsteps, found that she is much more exciting than others commented on the strategy.

Returning from the Huaguo Mountain, to Lianyungang, do not go to see the sea to see the island, always feel that there is something missing, although catching up with the not-so-good weather, to go to the island will not feel sorry.

So, urged the two treasures of the grandmother to eat a good breakfast, go out and take the bus, through the "sea side of the park", drove through the 6.7 kilometers long "China's first dike", the country's longest sea embankment, the scenic area into the island of Liandao.

This sea embankment and the island, recalled three years ago in Greece, the locals said, that is not the island (Evia Island), because there is a bridge connected to the land.

Whether the locals think it is not an island, in the eyes of our tourists, is the island.

Like the Peloponnese, it is still a peninsula despite the fact that the Collins Canal cuts it off from mainland Greece, and the first island is not Crete.

Because the island, all of a sudden, God traveled too far, back to even the island, which does not have too many opportunities to close contact with the sea, it has been enough for us to slowly taste.

Although it is early October and fall, catch the wind, not suitable for beach water, to here to feel the breath of the sea, so that the first trip to Lianyungang did not leave any regrets.

Walked a lot of places, the beginning of the enthusiasm to buy souvenirs, after slowly do not like to buy souvenirs in the tourist places, one to take the tired, the second in the house, but also to gather dust.

From the year humming and hawing in Africa back to the various types of wood carvings and small Lafite, to now have been to a place that does not take away half a piece of cloud, leaving behind only a picture hidden thousands of words of memories.

The reason for the epidemic, trafficking in small local tourist souvenirs stalls this year out of the stalls of the time is very good, about 2 months, business is not good, simple sister sold two shells made of wind chimes, 50 yuan.

The small suitcase is only enough to load a few pieces of clothing, sitting on the train, suddenly feel shell wind chimes buy less, a year to catch this day, how not to buy a few more strings of it, in the people in their own are very happy things.

When the Greek island of Einar, a small shell wind chime 10 euros, according to the number of shells and modeling difficulty, that even the island of the sister's shell wind chime less than 20 euros.

But this time in Lianyungang, impressed by the shell wind chimes on Lian Island, or elders proposed to buy something for the two treasures, picked the shell specimens, looked at the wind chimes, rustic and rich in the beauty of the various shapes of the wind chimes, hang a few strings in the balcony, the island's flavor all the way to the hundreds of miles away from the living room.

So authentic shells made of wind chimes, decorative or souvenir, are very beautiful, seems to be able to hear the sound of the sea waves, smell the smell of the sea.?

In the station waiting for more than 20 minutes to start teaching elders how to use a smartphone to take pictures, shoot video, two clicks to operate, in the Mercedes-Benz train practice a few times, to the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits, "surging" photo skills were unlocked, in the countryside stayed more than 60 years of grandma finally all the way to the shoot a non-stop, especially the Tang monks and disciples and the little fairies of the Square Dance, that a song after another song of dance! Under, the cell phone has not stopped, and finally simply forget to come to Ha Huaguo Mountain is to see the monkeys on the mountain.

Brush identity card inspection in advance to buy a good scenic area tickets, enter the Huaguo Mountain, said to see the monkeys, take the car to the top of the highest peak - Jade Peak, the original plan is to walk a road along the way will be encountered by monkeys, the elders look at the top of the mountain, the foot is not good, the original way to take the car to return to the monkey is kind of a monkey looked at a trip in the car! The first time I saw the monkey in the car, I saw the monkey in the car, and I saw the monkey in the car.

The myths and realities of the world, all the myths, legends, are based on the reality of life.

At the top of the mountain clouds rolled, the middle of the blue sky revealed a little time, is to give the reward on the mountain, took photos with blue sky and white clouds, suddenly the whole mood is cloudy and foggy feeling. All the way to the top of the mountain, look at the scenery, and found that not to see the Sun Da Sheng's disciples and grandchildren has not been so eager.

The goal of running to see the monkeys in Mount Huaguo, after entering the scenic area, but was attracted by the dance performance of the Tang Monk and his disciples and the fairies before going up to the mountain, simply sit there and watch them dance, look into the mind seems to have forgotten the purpose of this trip to Mount Huaguo.

Looked at the monkey, the second brother, the Tang Monk and other people's song and dance performances, almost all to be dispersed, remind the elders is not the time to go to the car to see the monkeys on the mountain, before running to buy a ticket to the place, and soon a car full of hair car to the mountain.

Eighteen curves of the mountain road, not an old driver, even if you can drive, the first time to drive up the mountain is also a challenging technical work, fortunately there are scenic spots dedicated driver.

Mountain downhill are 25 yuan a person, back and forth a person ticket 50 yuan, scenic spot ticket 90 yuan, half price as long as 45 yuan for the elderly. Every year in the off-season, tickets to slightly cheaper.

Although the network of those travel tips on the Huaguo Mountain scenic area is not very powerful, actually went, Huaguo Mountain scenic area is worth the 90 yuan ticket, the visitor service center is also pleasing to the eye to look at, the public **** restroom design is very comfortable, the color scheme and tables and chairs are placed, almost let a person forget that it is in the restroom area waiting for people.

The elders into the restroom, their own with two gold bands sitting outside the restroom bench rest, the scene is arranged so that there is no hustle and bustle annoyance, the feeling is that the restroom people do not come out, I sit there for half an hour do not feel embarrassed.

From the top of the mountain down, ready to return to the hotel out of the scenic area, and saw the morning of the Tang Monk teacher and disciple that kind of people came in, such as Huo, folded back to see their evening scene of the song and dance performances, has been to the people dispersed, only a little bit of unfulfilled out of the scenic area of the gate.

To the bus point that tour 6 bus, back on the road, feel driving faster than in the morning, although that is just a personal feeling, in fact, that time into the city, the traffic is a bit congested.

At the end of the longed-for trip to Mount Huaguo, it seems that the mood and time have become much lighter.

Food on the road

The first time to an unfamiliar city, eating is very important, about Lianyungang local delicacies, "spring on the sea port in the fall on the mountain, winter and summer eating and living in the Pingchuan," "October Shaguang Sai goat soup," with the local saying, is to find Lianyungang's food is the most simple guide. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

Eat the local roadside restaurant, also ate the so-called review of the popularity of the restaurant, respectively, tried two five-star hotel brunch; review of the recommended stepping on the chance of mine is very large, their own preferences to choose the star hotel restaurants and commercial complexes in the restaurant is a surprise to the people.

Overall, food, depending on the person, play comfortably, the roadside with milk tea to eat their own dry food is also happy, as the Huaguo Mountain Scenic Area near the entrance to the release of those goldfish in the pool, a little fish feed, and then call for a lot of fish gathered, the fish are estimated to be a hilarious, fat fish will not be hungry.

Because with elders, in Lianyungang in the roadside to the hotel, different ways and environments have experienced, tourism is not only the scenery is more state of mind, eating is the same, not necessarily delicious delicacies can be pleasing to the eye, the mountain to eat dry food, visitor service center snacks, restaurant meals, roadside restaurants to eat, buffet in different star hotels, shopping centers to eat in the restaurant, specific to the local conditions, unfamiliar! place to eat is also like a flavor tour, there are stepping on the mine will have to find the surprise of the treasure.

Living in a place near the beach, always have to taste the seafood. In addition to the local seafood street, close to the Lianyun District, the core business district of the surrounding area also has a lot of seafood restaurants, seafood big eat a lively, shellfish seafood small meat, ultimately not as fresh as the prawns to really.

According to and in the sea side of the park in the local with small children walking grandpas gossip, learned that the nearby seafood street price is expensive, the locals generally do not go there to eat, unless the family came to treat guests occasionally.

In the seafood street to go around, seemingly ordinary but the Sha Guang fish, seafood street, many restaurants in the price of more than 60 yuan a catty, next to the supermarket is more than 10 yuan a catty supermarkets, but also people buy live fish and live shrimp and crabs in the central kitchen stalls processing, the first to do the first to eat, fresh and tasty to see, buy their own look at the processing, but also do not worry about the back of the kitchen to give you change the dead fish and dead shrimp.

Traveling to a place, in the place dedicated to tourists to eat, it is best to compare more, to see which one is delicious.

Otherwise, if it spends that money, it is better to find one of the many restaurants in the shopping center or a five-star hotel restaurant to eat a meal, which is better than a fool like to spend money to make the stomach suffer to the affordable.

For unfamiliar cities, branded five-star hotels in the dining or buffet will not be too bad, which is traveling for foodies a little discovery, is not only can eat into the roadside food stalls, but also on the magnificent restaurant slowly enjoy the real belong to their own delicious time, even if it is a poor journey, the Fei Fei board, for the appetite, always have to give a little treatment.

Before leaving, I read a few mainstream travel tips on the network about Lianyungang and Huaguo Mountain, and also read the official introduction of Lianyungang tourism, and did my own route strategy.

The real meaning of the trip in 2021, in addition to a small tour of Jingshan and Wuhan, Lianyungang trip impression is not only to reach the elders' wish, in this first trip also recognize the charm of the city, her scenery.

Lianyungang, the seaside city, Huaguo Mountain and the story of the monkey, written into the tour, rounded out many people's childhood memories of the Journey to the West complex, the travel effect is very good, they are for the development of tourism resources with sincerity of purpose, from the public transport service, the streets of the droplets, scenic spots, etc. is to be able to really feel the details of the place, although the beginning of the net to see those different comments.

The online introduction of Lianyungang attractions is relatively fragmented, beforehand, mainly to read the official travel guide, chose to lead the two baby grandma out of the program, eat, live and play around the seaside transportation and Huaguo Mountain as a base to arrange a good route, all the way down, compact and without losing flexibility, no attractions and time to rush forward the dilemma, which is the elders with the group travel experience can not be convenient.

The sea Yuntai Mountain, beach, Huaguo Mountain, salt river lane, Lianyungang old street, fish bay scenic spot, etc. These places to do a few play route plan, the time budget is 4 days and 3 nights, relatively abundant, but there are elders in the, or wide to play a narrow with the program, program more points of space, the choice is more flexible, as long as the main Huaguo Mountain in the focus of the tour, the first to complete the project, and the rest can be in accordance with the then! The weather, people's strength, etc. to adjust flexibly.

From the train station to Lianyun District, located in the seaside, BRT rapid transit is very developed, the frequency is dense, that is, Haizhou District and Lianyun District, the daily public **** transportation, did not come to Lianyungang City, thought a little similar to the kind of suburban bus bus service, in Lianyungang excursion, feel the bus is developed and convenient. Internet car service also experienced, but also very convenient.

Intercity train C3260 Zhenjiang Station - Lianyungang Station (not Zhenjiang South Station, not Lianyungang East Station).

When you arrive at Lianyungang Railway Station, follow the signs and walk about 100 meters to the left to the BRT station not far away (but not on the road), take the B1K road, the ticket price is 2 yuan, and take the bus to the Lianyungang Nuclear Power Hotel located in Lianshan District, get off the bus and you can see the hotel.

Traveling by public transportation in an unfamiliar city is one of the most personal and convenient perks of traveling in China.

In October during the National Day late out, catch the weather in Lianyungang turned cold, to the island on the windy, not too suitable for too many excursions, walked around the bus back to the hotel, the island by the way to look at the accommodation does not seem to be very suitable for our appetite, the B&B is the main, decent hotels, or would rather choose to Lianyungang mainland mainland mainland on the hotel accommodation.

Anyway, the public **** transportation is very convenient, do not have to worry about not driving not far away, domestic tourism is the most comfortable developed public **** transportation, perhaps the language is not disconnected, so I think that the public **** transportation is convenient, travel abroad,

Unless it is the city, such as a wide range of excursions, in the choice of the public **** transportation tours, is the need to spend some more brain power to do good!

Unless you're traveling within the city, you'll need a lot more brain power to do your homework, and you won't be able to do it on the road while looking at the navigation.

The book "Traveling in Hong Kong City" has the introduction of different tourism resources in Lianyungang, which is more systematic than the introduction of fragmented strategies on the network, and the content is complete.

Because I want to see the sea nearby, I chose the nuclear power hotel this place as a landing point. The nearest beach is to go to the nearby in the sea side of the park, is an open green park, there are green areas, sandy beaches, there is a pontoon bridge extending to the sea.

Here by car to Liandao is very close to the nuclear power hotel is a three-star, dining and accommodation, basically four-star hardware, state-run background of the hotel, the front desk service in the middle of the road, the room service response and processing are very fast, beyond the expected, worthy of praise.

Stayed in Lianyun District for 2 nights, switched to the Jinling Yuntai Hotel in Haizhou District, the bus off the bus, walked a few steps on the way to the hotel, the two treasures of the grandmother said, a good hotel to live in, you want to change, "I'm just afraid that you're jumping from the rice pot to the congee pot".

Her dialect colloquialisms, some I can immediately understand the meaning of this sentence seems not quite understand, for me, seafood porridge than white rice is not necessarily worse.

The latter understand the "rice pot jumped to the porridge pot" is what it means, said jokingly, you will see, is the rice pot or porridge pot;

Travel outside, each with their own characteristics, different hotels, to feel, but also a kind of travel life experience, although this time in Lianyungang, two hotels, they room Space and facilities difference is not too obvious.

In fact, I probably know, one is probably too much trouble to change the hotel, and the two treasures of the grandmother she came down from the mountain of flowers and fruits on the aftermath has begun to miss the return trip, thinking of her baby grandchildren.

But during the National Day from Lianyungang to the provincial direction of the train, a hard to find, not want to change can be changed, she can only choose to feel at ease in Lianyungang shopping and drinking. From Lianyungang to Haizhou District, once again met Monkey, the elders of the mentality seems to be switched to travel mode again.

On the road, some states can not be changed when the first focus on the moment of what they see, there is nothing wrong.

Everyone's journey is just like the Tang Monk's journey, fighting monsters and upgrading on their respective journeys, seeking the true scriptures, and accomplishing the right thing.

After surviving 2020 and 2021, the Lianyungang trip is considered a footnote to the ordinary life in 2021.
