Huanhua Creek Park: Fishing for Du Fu's Ripples in the Shadows of Bamboo on Poetry Paper

— Written for the Literary Souls Who Wish to Stroll Along the Thousand-Poem Stele --- 1: 🗺️【Poetry Trail】 Canglang Lake → Poetry Avenue → Bamboo Plaza → Huanhua Residence → Egret Islet 1. 7:00 Walk through the mist to visit Canglang Lake (egrets pecking at Du Fu’s reflection in the morning light) 2. 9:30 Read carefully along Poetry Avenue (the ground engraved with ink traces from the Book of Songs to modern poetry) 3. 13:00 Sit quietly at Bamboo Plaza (the wind through bamboo tips echoes ancient tonal rhythms) 4. 16:00 Wait for the misty rain at the Thatched Cottage (if it drizzles, you can witness the scene of "Spring Night Delightful Rain") --- 2: ✨ Three Poetic Moments 1. Palindrome Poem Wall: Lightly tap specific blue bricks at Huanhua Residence, and the wall will light up with palindrome poem LED strips—this is an AR technology restoration of Tang dynasty poetry paper. 2. Bamboo Slip Code: Touch the bamboo slip sculpture at Bamboo Plaza and scan the QR code to listen to Pu Cunxin reciting the corresponding verses. 3. Xue Tao Paper Ferry: Take a boat on Canglang Lake, where the boatwoman will hand you a replica of Xue Tao’s paper: “Write a poem and place it in the water; the one that drifts the farthest wins a covered bowl of tea.” --- 3: 🍵 Thatched Cottage Tea Experience ✔️ Must-Try Literary Flavors · “Huanhua Crisp”: Mung bean cake pressed with rippling creek patterns · Poetry Ladle Wine: Rice wine in bamboo tubes paired with osmanthus jelly ✔️ Hidden Menu · Tea House “Bitter Chant Tea”: Mengding sweet dew with bamboo sap water · Book Boat “Ink Stick Candy”: Black sesame candy shaped like Huizhou ink sticks --- 4: ⚠️ Elegant Gathering Guidelines 1. Do not break bamboo branches (each bamboo stalk has a QR code of ancient poems) 2. Set phones to silent (many come here to sketch and meditate) 3. Best visiting season: Late autumn (ginkgo and red maple weave into poetry) 4. Check events in advance (poetry contests held in spring and autumn) --- 5: 🎒 Poetry to Take Home 1. Stamp the “Huanhua Paper” watermark (using special ink-bleeding xuan paper) 2. Collect the three-layered rhymes: bamboo dew’s clear drip / stone ink slab’s grinding sound / ancient zither’s harmonics When leaving the park, gently touch the poetry stele at the exit—on that smooth limestone is engraved the final revised draft of "The Song of the Thatched Hut Broken by Autumn Wind." This park, intimately connected to Du Fu’s Thatched Cottage, continues the millennia-old tonal patterns on every bamboo leaf.
