Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai have entered the dog days of summer｜Escape to the mountains and return to childhood, go to Songzhuang Village to play in the water and cool off

The third time going to Songzhuang Village, it happened to be the dog days of summer, with the temperature at a scorching 39 degrees. Holding an umbrella, I arrived at the water's edge and saw a group of children playing in the water. One child accidentally fell into the water, with soaked clothes being scolded by his mother, but the corners of his mouth were smiling—it was the joy of childhood. The best spot in Songzhuang Village is the ancient stone bridge. The arch bridge spans the stream, standing across the village, echoing with the village's yellow rammed earth walls, forming the most beautiful rural scene. An old house next to the ancient bridge has opened a café, which wasn't there the last two times I visited. I ordered an iced latte and sat by the window to enjoy the view, savoring a touch of coolness in the scorching weather. There is a guesthouse in the village called 'Taoye,' a name that sparks imagination. Like the village's gurgling streams, it forms some fragments of my summer memories of coolness.
