"Let's Go Somewhere Else and See the World" Today's journey begins at Tongjun Mountain in Tonglu County, Hangzhou. This mountain is the mother mountain and the holy land of medicine in Tonglu. The name of "Tianzi Land" on the mountain comes from the birthplace of Emperor Wu of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Liu Yu. It has been more than a thousand years and has never been changed. The altitude is about 900 meters. We took the "Flying Carpet" and easily reached the top of the mountain. Then, along the winding mountain road, we encountered the unique landmark "Buddha's Hand" - Purple Ling's slender hand. Two huge white hands hold up the plank road, which is extremely spectacular. The fountain and the horn next to it are interesting. Shout loudly, and the fountain will rise with the sound, which is very interesting. There is also a 300-meter-long cloud ladder sky bridge, which is like a sky bridge across the valley, which is both exciting and a great place to watch the scenery. Tianzi Land Scenic Area also has Tianzi Cave, Zilong Gorge High-altitude Glass Drift, Sky Mirror and other projects. Although they have their own characteristics, they can no longer arouse my interest. From Tongjun Mountain, we rushed to the Fuchun River Cruise Terminal to start the water journey. I think back then, Huang Gongwang traveled here and was deeply attracted by the scenery of the Fuchun River. He built a hut for seven or eight years and painted "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains". At that time, the Fuchun River was quiet and beautiful; now, high-rise buildings on both sides of the strait are full of modern prosperity. Although the style is different, the Fuchun River still flows with the unique charm of history and modernity, witnessing the changes of the times. Back to the hotel, there is a museum next to it, but today is Monday and the door is closed. I can only leave a mark at the door and feel a little regretful. This trip to Tongjun Mountain and Fuchun River Cruise made me deeply appreciate the beauty and charm of Tonglu. The ancient culture of Tongjun Mountain and the natural scenery of the Fuchun River complement each other. Whether it is the tranquility and sacredness of the mountain or the agility and magnificence of the river, it is intoxicating. The beauty of this landscape will be engraved in my heart forever. The world is wider than imagined!
