"When the forest runs out of water, there will be a mountain, and the mountain has a small mouth, as if there is light. Toilet boat, enter from the mouth... The land is flat, the houses are like that, and there are good fields and beautiful ponds and mulberry bamboos. Qianmo traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other. ”
This is the scene of the paradise described in Tao Yuanming's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring". In reality, there are five places, although they cannot be said to be as isolated and away from the hustle and bustle as described in "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", but they are definitely the ideal spiritual home in people's minds.
1. Gangnam
"Jiangnan is good, and the scenery is old. The sunrise river flowers are red, and the spring river is as green as blue. Can you remember Jiangnan?"
"Jiangnan reminisces, the most memorable is Hangzhou. Looking for Guizi in the middle of the month in the mountain temple, the county pavilion pillow looks at the tide. When will you visit again?"
"Jiangnan recalls, followed by Wu Palace. Wu wine a cup of spring bamboo leaves, Wu Wa double dance drunk hibiscus. Sooner or later, we'll see you again?"
The beauty of the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River left Bai Juyi with many warm memories, and until his later years, the old man still remembered the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River, especially Hangzhou and Suzhou, which made him extremely nostalgic.
The beauty of the south of the Yangtze River lies in the silky apricot blossom rain, the beauty in the curling green smoke as thin as light yarn, the bluestone road in the thousand-year-old town, and the old houses with pink walls and tiles, small bridges, flowing water and pavilions.
Everyone loves Jiangnan, so how can you not go to Jiangnan. Gangnam, originally just a geographical concept, has now become a cultural concept. The scope of Jiangnan is very large, so what places can best represent Jiangnan?
Hangzhou, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Shaoxing, Wuxi, Jiangnan six ancient towns are recommended, these are typical Jiangnan scenery.
2. Huizhou
"A lifetime of obsession, no dream to Huizhou"
"The mountains surround the city with clear streams, and it is difficult to paint white clouds and blue mountains"

The style of Huizhou is unique, the ups and downs of the horse-head wall, the curling smoke rising from the head of the village, the simple and solemn ancestral hall, the patio where the sun and rain fall, etc., are like an ancient ink painting, which makes people intoxicated.
Ancient Huizhou included six counties, including Xiuning, Shexian, Qimen, Jixi, Yixian and Wuyuan. Today, these places, except for Qimen and Wuyuan, belong to Huangshan City.
There are many places worth going to in Huizhou, including Huangshan, the world's first strange mountain, Xidihong Village, an ancient village in southern Anhui, Chengkan Bagua Village, Xin'an River Landscape Gallery, and Wuyuan, the most beautiful village in China.

If you have enough time, it is recommended that you stay in the mountain town of Guling for a few more days. It's really comfortable to live here, and to hang out here, the whole mind will calm down. The villas located around Meilu Villa are even more beautiful, with villas of various architectural styles scattered in the woods, making you wonder if you are still in China. There is nothing more pleasant than walking, looking, sitting, and sitting.
The charm of Lushan is not in the natural scenery, but in the cultural heritage, and is known as the "holy mountain of humanity".

The Pure Land Buddhism of Buddhism was founded here, the Taoist temple was completed here, and the White Deer Cave Academy, the first of the ancient "Four Great Academies", was born here. Christianity, Catholicism, and Islam have come here to preach, which shows how inclusive Lushan is a famous religious mountain.
