In spring, the Baihuwan Tea Plantation in Daqing Valley resembles a vast green ocean. The tea leaves are so fresh and tender they look as if they could burst with water. Each leaf, like a meticulously carved piece of jade, shimmers with a refreshing luster under the gentle caress of the spring sun, exuding the vibrant green of new life. They cluster together on the branches, like a group of energetic children, stretching their bodies and releasing the unique vitality of spring. Occasionally, tea pickers can be seen busily moving through the tea garden. They gently pluck the precious tea leaves, becoming one with this vibrant landscape.

The cherry blossoms of Daqing Valley are beautiful in their purity. The vast expanse of cherry trees blankets the ground like a layer of fresh snow. Each blossom is pristine white, resembling the first snowfall of winter, immaculate and flawless. The delicate petals, like the elegant skirt of a young girl, sway gently in the breeze. From a distance, the cherry blossom forest looks like dreamy clouds floating amidst the green mountains and clear waters. Up close, clusters of cherry blossoms resemble a group of fairies in white, laughing on the branches. The pure white cherry blossoms are without a trace of impurity, and gazing at this scene, one's heart feels cleansed and purified.

For Axue, the joy of seeing a beautiful space is no less than seeing a beautiful woman. · Yixu is an old brand, but this store in Daqing Valley is a new space. It continues the logic of old house renovation—several staggered old factory buildings from the 1990s, retaining the original wooden beam structure and part of the wooden roof inside, undergoing an aesthetic rebirth internally. The tables, chairs, lamps, and various furniture and objects in Yixu's new store are also full of ingenuity, just like in 'Yimuli'. The doors and windows also offer the pleasure of 'changing scenery with each step' comparable to gardens. · Besides coming to see the new store in person, as a retro enthusiast, I am also here for the 'Flowing Twentieth Century' retro furniture theme exhibition. Once you understand vintage furniture, it's hard not to get hooked. These pieces of furniture, full of life, inherently possess the ability to traverse time and space, making you imagine the owners who spent their days and nights with them decades ago. · Location: Yixu SPACE / No. 106, Daqing Valley, Xihu District, Hangzhou (navigate to Daqing Valley Parking Lot for directions)
