Sisters tower carries faint kinship

On weekends, the sun is not strong, but there are not too many tourists in Meilang Tower. What is displayed in front of the riders is a pure natural picture scroll.

Meilang Pagoda, the ancient pagoda of Yuan Dynasty, also known as "Sister Pagoda". Despite hundreds of years of wind and rain erosion, the main building of the Twin Towers has not been destroyed. Sister tower is hexagonal, existing 6 floors, 17 meters high, tower body for imitation wood hollow cylinder gallery attic structure; sister tower is square, 7 floors, 13 meters high, structure and sister tower the same, more exquisite Lingxiu shape. Surrounded by luxuriant forests and green bamboos, streams and ding-dong, the environment is quiet and quiet, and the riders are there, as if stepping into a pure land.

Zongwang Garden Tasting Local Farmhouse Rice

Then, the motorist and his party immediately went to the farmhouse palm king garden located on Jinma Avenue to plant vegetables and fish, taste fresh fruits and vegetables, special snacks and signature dishes.

The reporter learned that the youngest of the nearly 20 riders was only two months old, and the oldest was over 60 years old. Many of them are family trips. Palm King Garden is fresh and quiet. The car friends who have never met each other sit beside the water. While enjoying the green scenery, they communicate with each other, just like old friends.

Children have all kinds of games. First love the hammock near the barbecue area, you push me sit, then you sit me push, polite and friendly. Then when they saw someone fishing a big fish from the pond, the children shouted happily and ran over, laughing all the way, and the laughter drifted far away. However, the enthusiasm of the children was immediately diverted by the sight of adults setting up rafts in the middle of the pond. They rushed to jump on the rafts and rippled in the middle of the pond. However, this was an activity with a high risk factor. The children's sense of balance was not very good. Although the adults on the raft took good care of them, the swaying raft still made the family members on the shore sweat. The task of "helmsman" in charge of pole support is very "arduous". While taking care of children, we must learn to use bamboo pole raft. Fortunately, everyone's adaptability is very strong. In a short time, they can cope freely on water and enjoy different life experience in reinforced concrete city.

The food is authentic farmhouse food. Everyone sat around the table, fresh steamed fish, steamed tofu that tasted like eggs, authentic Wenchang chicken and home-grown vegetables... sumptuous and authentic farmhouse meals were delicious.

Fushan Coffee Experience

At the third stop, the riders came to visit the Coffee Culture Museum located in the central area of Fushan Coffee Culture Town. Before entering the museum, motorists were attracted by two coffee trees at the door. The museum was divided into six parts, including the exhibition hall of "Fushan Coffee Development History" and the exhibition hall of "Coffee Science Popularization Knowledge".

Dig sweet potatoes, roast sweet potatoes, and have fun.

When it comes to Chengmai cuisine, in fact, Chengmai sweet potato is also a unique one. Then, everyone went straight to Qiaotou Town and arrived at the ten thousand mu sweet potato base. Take off shoes and socks, roll sleeves and gloves, even 5 or 6-year-old girls have been encouraged by their parents, not afraid of hardship and not afraid of dirty to start "planing" sweet potatoes.

It is not too much to say "planing", because the sweet potatoes here are improved and planted in the sand, so no tools are needed, and gloves can be worn to open the sand. "Wow, what a big sweet potato." The little girls dug out sweet potatoes one after another, which was quite a sense of achievement. In addition to enjoying this idyllic fun, adults also help the children take pictures from time to time,"Come, Dad will take a picture of you", the family has a good time.

At the same time as everyone worked hard, the careful peasant uncle had dug holes in the ridge. It turned out that he was preparing to roast sweet potatoes by digging a pit to light a fire. However, this hole was not dug casually. It also depended on the wind direction. About 20 minutes or so, the riders ate fragrant roasted sweet potatoes. "Aiya, it's so pink and sweet. It's really delicious." The riders exclaimed in surprise. The taste of the sweet potatoes roasted here was awesome.

Before leaving, the riders also staged a "can't eat pocket walk", we bought a total of more than 200 catties of sweet potatoes to take home. Finally, we also went to Chengmai Yongqing Temple to visit. It was evening, and Yongqing Temple looked grand and solemn against the setting sun.
