The scenery here is picturesque and can be called a "paradise on earth". In addition to West Lake, Hangzhou also has mountains, springs, bridges, towers, temples, etc., which are both gentle like water and strong like iron bones.

Jiaxing is born by water and thrives because of it. The Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal surrounds Jiaxing City, connecting thousands of ancient towns such as Wuzhen, Xitang, Puyuan, and Yanguan, giving birth to the era of "Chinese ancient town looking at Jiaxing". The Haining Yanguan Resort is also the best viewing spot for the "number one tide in the world" of the Qianjiang River.

❤️ Wannian Shangshan: The Shangshan Site is located in Shangshan Village, Huangzhai Town, Pujiang. The "mountain culture" is the source of Chinese agricultural village culture, dating back more than 10000 years; The charred rice unearthed from the Shangshan site bears witness to the ancestors who walked out of the mountains and into the countryside thousands of years ago

❤️ Eight Thousand Year Old Cross Lake Bridge: The Cross Lake Bridge Site is one of the earliest Neolithic sites discovered in Zhejiang Province, located in Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou City. The earliest canoe in China was unearthed at the site of the Cross Lake Bridge, dating back over 8000 years

❤️ Seven Thousand Years of Hemudu: The Hemudu Ancient Cultural Site is located in Yuyao, Ningbo. It is home to a period of nearly two thousand years of human history from 7000 to 5000 years ago, proving that both the Yangtze River Basin and the Yellow River Basin are the birthplaces of ancient Chinese culture.

❤️ Five thousand years of Liangzhu: The Liangzhu Site has gone through more than 5000 years of vicissitudes and has been truly and completely preserved to this day, which is a testament to the 5000 year history of Chinese civilization. The ancient city of Liangzhu had an inner city area of nearly 3 million square meters, which was the size of four Forbidden City.

It is the first small town in China to be listed as a world cultural heritage site.

A ancient town, an old street, slow cooking time, strolling through the ancient town, time is peaceful.

👍 Shitang Ancient Town: Located in Wenling, Taizhou, Shitang Town is a seaside town built with stones. The fishing village here still lives a sea fishing life where the sun rises and the boats sing in the evening.

Zhejiang dialect, different pronunciations within ten miles

01 Huzhou dialect

Huzhou dialect is one of the representative dialects of Wu language. Like Suzhou dialect, it is a "soft language of Wu Nong" and is locally known as "Huzhou Xianhua".

"Huzhou idle talk" is gentle and soft, with a mostly rising tone, for example, homework is called "beating and pinching"; Pig trotters are called "Jia Zuo"; Fried buns are called "Sanghi"; Meat is called "abuse" or "jade"; A bald head is called a "light banging head"; The match is called "Yangmingtou".

Huzhou dialect also likes to add a "cut" before food, such as "cut tobacco", "cut wine", "cut vegetables", and "cut rice", which means to eat. For example, in Huzhou dialect, playing is called "Bai Xiang", being powerful is called "Jie Bang", being beautiful is called "Deng Xiang", being wealthy is called "Tan Sha", being comfortable is called "An Dan", being extreme is called "Lan Zan", and being worried is called "Hei Si".

What do these two sentences in Huzhou dialect mean?

At night, two temples are filled with wine.

02 Wenzhou dialect

When it comes to Wenzhou dialect, many people have heard a saying: "Heaven is not afraid, earth is not afraid, just afraid of Wenzhou people speaking Wenzhou dialect." Wenzhou dialect is known as one of the most difficult dialects in China, and can be said to have "different pronunciations within five miles and different tones within ten miles.".

In Wenzhou dialect, some words have completely different meanings from what you think: "Mantou" is called "bread", and "steamed bun" is called "Mantou".

There are also some words in reverse order, for example: "slippers" are called "shoe slippers", "pickled vegetables" are called "pickled vegetables", "guests" are called "guests", "lively" is called "lively", "rising tide" is called "rising tide", "hooves" is called "hooves", and "broom" is called "broom sweeping".

Wenzhou dialect is also very romantic and cute. For example, Wenzhou dialect talks about eating three meals, and "having breakfast" is called "eating the sky light"; "Eating lunch" is called "eating the day"; "Eating dinner" is called "eating dusk", which sounds too poetic and picturesque~
