🌿Preface: What is Tonglu? "A fold of green mountains, a screen; a bay of clear water, a harp"—Tonglu, this small Jiangnan city, recognized by National Geographic as "China's Most Beautiful County," is the very setting for Huang Gongwang's "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains"! The misty waves of the Fuchun River, the bluestone slabs of the ancient village, the green waves of the bamboo sea, and the magical caves all weave together a soothing dream of escaping the concrete jungle. --- 🗺️ [2-3 Day Itinerary] 🔹Day 1: A Landscape Painting Tour · Fuchun River Poetry Route · Morning: Yan Ziling Fishing Platform ✅ Cruise the Fuchun River's Little Three Gorges and experience the feeling of "sailing on the turquoise waters, swimming in a painting" (boat ticket + entrance fee 125 yuan, boats depart on time before 8:00 PM for minimal crowds). ✅ Climb the East and West Platforms to overlook "the finest water in the world" and check out the "Mountains High, Rivers Long" stele forest inscribed by Fan Zhongyan. 💡Tips: Summer boats lack air conditioning, so it's recommended to visit in spring or autumn. Bring a small fan and sun hat during the summer. · Afternoon: Enjoy a slow pace in Luci Village ✅ Kayaking (80 yuan/hour) or cycling along the Fuchun River at the Fuchun River Arts Village, and enjoy the "Fuchun Sunset" spectacle. ✅ Visit a root carving workshop and pottery gallery for a healing experience of handmade crafts. 🍲 Dinner: Fermented rice steamed buns with stinky tofu (a must-try at Fat Po Restaurant) · Evening: ✅ Stay at a Qinglongwu B&B (recommended "Secret Mountain Village" and "Arabian Nights"), and count the stars while listening to the creek. ✅ Check in at the Yanjiyou Capsule Bookstore (the glass room is perfect for photos, but there aren't many books, so just check in). 🔹Day 2: Hike in an Ancient Village and Secret Forest · Morning: Shishe Village and Maling Ancient Trail ✅ Explore a 400-year-old Ming and Qing Dynasty village, enjoy free water fishing, and try the intangible cultural heritage of rice sieve crawling (handmade noodles, super chewy). ✅ Take a light hike along the Maling Ancient Trail (Maoping Village section), enjoying bluestone paths and refreshing bamboo forest springs for a truly relaxing experience. · Afternoon: Daqishan National Forest Park ✅ "Jiuzhaigou of Jiangnan," with its turquoise pools and swimming koi (ticket: 52 yuan, approximately 2.5-hour hike). ❌Avoid: The cable car downhill isn't worth the money; the trail on the right takes you only 10 minutes.

In the evening, rent a bike in Luci Village. The sunset paints the Fuchun River a honey-colored hue. You chase the light, your shadow stretching longer than your childhood. Treat yourself to a late-night snack of fermented rice steamed buns with stinky tofu, the cicadas' chirping background music, the stars their neon lights. It turns out that slow living isn't about escaping, but about tuning your heartbeat to a natural rhythm. In Tonglu, a good night's sleep is more valuable than KPIs, and a sunset is more soothing than a report. On the way back, pack a bag of mountain breeze and put it in the city fan to add a bit of Jiangnan coolness to your daily life.

Only after visiting Fuchun River Town did I realize that summer here is all about soaking in the water. Our first stop was Luci Village. The stream was so clear you could see tiny fish lurking in the cracks of the rocks. The moment I stepped into the shallows, my feet were chilled to the bone—this is a Class II stream, swimmable. It happened to be the village's fishing festival, and I chased flathead fish barefoot, splashing mud and laughing my ass off. Finally, I held two grass carp as "trophies," which the B&B owner immediately prepared for me, making a delicious milky white fish soup. The next day, I woke up early to go to Yan Ziling Fishing Platform. Don't rush the early boat; the light is softest after 4 p.m. As we sailed through the S-shaped river bend on a pleasure boat, the mountain's reflections in the water made it look like a living rendition of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains." While enjoying the breeze at the summit of Dongtai, a water vendor remarked that this place held stories of hermits from the Eastern Han Dynasty. Looking down at the egrets flying across the river, I suddenly understood why the ancients sought refuge there. The biggest surprise was the water splashing carnival on Xigang's "Happy Street." The 300-year-old ancient street was flooded by the stream, and adults and children were fighting with water guns. I hid at a snack stall, nibbling on fried dough sticks. The owner handed me a bowl of magnolia tofu, so cold it made me shiver. That evening, I had stir-fried chicken at Pangpo Restaurant. The chicken was so tender it fell off the bone, accompanied by freshly baked potato pancakes. I ate three bowls of rice before I was done. Before leaving, I rented a bicycle and cycled along the greenway from Jiangnan Bridge to Shishe Village, enjoying breathtaking views of the river and rice paddies. Passing by Maoping Village, I wandered in. The horse-head walls of the old Qing Dynasty houses were particularly striking. At the village entrance, an old woman sold glutinous rice dumplings in gray soup, their salted egg and buttery aroma soaking the glutinous rice. Fuchunjiang Town is not just a quick check-in spot; it's a place where life can be lived like an ink painting. #ThePlaceYourFriends is Asking the Most
