[○] I visited Meihuazhou in Jiaxing a few years ago when it first opened. It had not been completed yet, but I thought it was small and elegant, with a Jiangnan charm. [○]After the official operation, the tickets were too expensive and I didn’t go there much. Now that the price has come down again, I took my parents to go shopping. Unexpectedly, the scenic spot has not been completed yet. There are very few people on weekdays and most of the shops are not open. It is quite suitable for a large garden to relax alone. . [○] The scenic spot is characterized by imitating the architecture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The main attractions are Feng’s old house, thousand-year-old silver fir trees, the ancient Shifo Temple and the three-step two-legged bridge. Among them, the three-step two-legged bridge is the most interesting, consisting of two single-hole The stone bridge is composed vertically, and you can reach the second bridge in three steps from the first bridge, hence the name of the bridge. It is said that it was built by monks from the Stone Buddha Temple in the Tang Dynasty. A wealthy businessman in the Ming Dynasty funded the reconstruction for his two daughters. In the Feng Shui design of Meihuazhou, the location of the Stone Buddha Temple is the dragon ground, and the two silver fir trees standing across the river are the dragon horns. , the three-step and two-step bridge plays the role of the dragon's whiskers, and the long embankment behind the bridge is the dragon's body, which can be regarded as adding a bit of storytelling to the place. [○] Overall, it’s a pretty beautiful place, but not much fun. It’s okay to take your parents to take photos and drink tea. The protagonists here are wall-climbing tigers and various green plants, and it is too quiet. It is like accidentally breaking into the Jiangnan ancient town version of the Wizard of Oz. More suitable for short-distance travel and team building. [!][!]Tips: The location is relatively remote, suitable for self-driving, and the parking lot is free. Tickets are priced at 100, and booking online is less than 30...
