Chapter 155 Wanfo Lake
The next morning, sunlight shone through the mist onto the window, waking up everyone who was sleeping.
Zhang Tingjian got up in a hurry early in the morning to take pictures of the mountains of Tiantangzhai in the early morning.
These scenes are poems that can be kept in memory. As a young fairy, he doesn’t know whether he will have the chance to return to the human world after he goes back. In order not to leave any regrets, he also tries his best to take a closer look.
When he returned, everyone was already up. They were all surprised that Zhang Tingjian was up so early and asked why he didn't rest a little more. Zhang Tingjian just smiled and didn't express his inner sigh. After a simple breakfast, they set off towards Wanfo Lake.
Along the way, Po stuck his head out of the car window, letting the breeze blow across his furry ears, making everyone laugh.
Sister Xiaotao caressed his head lovingly, which made little Abao very happy.
The surface of Wanfo Lake is vast and boundless, and the water shimmers in the sunlight, like countless tiny diamonds sparkling.
The lake is dotted with islands of various shapes. As you board a boat, you'll see layers of white waves as the boat slices through the surface, and the splashing water droplets sparkle with colorful light in the sunlight.
Zhang Nan excitedly lay on the bow of the boat and reached out to touch the lake water. The cool feeling made her scream.
The boat sailed to a small island covered with green trees and birds singing in the woods.
Walking along the quiet path, you can occasionally see some quaint pavilions, towers, flying eaves and brackets, and vermilion lacquer paintings, as if you have traveled back to ancient times.
Zhang Bei sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, closed his eyes, and listened quietly to the sounds of nature. The rustling of leaves in the wind, the singing of birds, and the sound of the lake lapping against the shore in the distance intertwined into a beautiful melody.
Xiaotao took Xiaoxing and found a flat place by the lake, spread out a picnic blanket, and placed the carefully prepared food on it.
Everyone sat together, sharing delicious food, and laughter drifted through the woods.
The ancient and elegant houses on the shores of Wanfo Lake are like stars lit up in the sky, and the surrounding environment is set against the backdrop of green waters and green mountains.
On the shore of the sparkling Wanfo Lake in Lu'an, there is an antique hotel that is like a lost pearl, lying quietly among the mountains and waters, exuding a unique charm. It is called "Cuiyingxuan".
When you first arrive at the hotel, what catches your eye is the ancient-style flying eaves and brackets. The traces of moss on the green tiles are like the kisses of history.
The vermilion door is heavy and solemn, and the gentle knock on the bronze doorknob seems to evoke echoes from thousands of years ago.
Above the door lintel, there are carved beams and painted buildings, and the patterns of auspicious dragons and phoenixes, flowers, birds, fish and insects are lifelike, showing the exquisite skills of the wood carving masters. Every flow of lines and every blend of color are full of ingenuity, as if whispering the prosperous scenes of the past.
Stepping into the courtyard, it feels like stepping into a classical garden in the south of the Yangtze River.
A clear pond is located in the center, with water lilies quietly blooming in pink, white and bright red. Fish swim among them, occasionally causing ripples, which disrupt the sky and cloud shadows reflected in it.
The poolside is dotted with jagged rocks, some lying down, some standing, in various shapes. It is said that they were carefully selected from the surrounding mountains and old forests, just to create this natural and unpretentious wildness.
Walking along the winding stone road, the bamboos on the roadside sway, and the rustling sounds made by the wind sound like the gentle singing of a green fairy.
The four-corner pavilion is located on the water. Inside the pavilion, there are stone tables and stone benches where guests can relax, drink tea, enjoy the scenery of lakes and mountains, feel the breeze on their faces, and the hustle and bustle of the world is instantly separated from the walls.
The hotel lobby is spacious, with high-hanging palace lanterns casting a soft glow, illuminating the golden brick floor beneath your feet.
The surrounding walls are painted with the scenery of Wanfo Lake in four seasons: the colorful flowers in spring, the lush green trees in summer, the colorful forests in autumn, and the snow-covered winter. It is as if the beautiful scenery outside the window is extended into the room, which is dazzling.
The design of the front desk is also unique, separated by an antique carved screen. The wooden table is warm and textured, and there are pens, inkstones, and paper for guests who are interested to write and paint, leaving behind their memories of the journey.
The guest room area perfectly combines ancient charm and comfort.
Push open a carved wooden door and the scent of sandalwood wafts through the room, instantly relaxing your body and mind.
The furniture is all antique style. The bed is an exquisite wooden carved bed with curtains draped lightly and embroidered with elegant patterns, as if traveling back to an ancient boudoir.
All of this made Xiao Taojie and the other girls very happy, and they took many beautiful photos.
The table is fully equipped with tea sets, including blue and white porcelain teapots and teacups, which are delicate and warm. Make a cup of local fragrant tea, sit on the couch by the window, and look out at the vast waves of Wanfo Lake, and a sense of comfort will arise spontaneously.
The bathroom is also unambiguous. Modern facilities are cleverly hidden under the retro decoration. The shower head is like an ancient shower head, and the bathtub is shaped like an ancient bathtub. It meets the modern people's needs for comfort while retaining the ancient charm.
Inside the restaurant, there is another scene.
The high-hanging red lanterns create a warm and lively atmosphere. The tables and chairs are neatly arranged and are all made of solid wood, simple and heavy.
The tableware is made of porcelain with traditional patterns, and the dishes are even better.
The "Lakeside Fresh Fish Banquet" uses fresh fish from Wanfo Lake as raw material. The steamed fish retains the tenderness of the fish meat and melts in the mouth; the fish soup is thick, white and delicious, and one spoonful of it will leave a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth.
There are also local specialties such as chicken soup, bamboo shoots and roast pork. The ingredients are all taken from surrounding farmers, natural and pure, and every bite is full of strong local flavor.
As night falls and the lights come on, the hotel is decorated with lights like a dream.
The lakeside terrace has become the favorite of the guests. Several tables are set up there, and accompanied by the gentle sound of the lake and the croaking of frogs in the distance, the three of them raise their glasses to the bright moon and drink together.
Or they light a bonfire, hold hands and dance around it, and laughter echoes in the night sky. At this time, the antique hotel is not only a place to stay and dine, but also a spiritual home for travelers. In the gentle embrace of Wanfo Lake, it continues to write a romantic story with the past and the mountains and rivers, making people linger and indulge without knowing how to return.
During their few days in Lu'an, they traveled between mountains and rivers, exploring the mysteries of nature and listening to the echoes of history.
Every sunrise and sunset, every simple meal, and every walk on the mountain path have become the most precious treasures deep in my memory.
When the time of departure came, the car slowly drove away from Lu'an, and everyone felt reluctant to leave.
Li Fugui looked back at the Dabie Mountains. The rolling hills still stood quietly, like a kind-hearted elder, watching them go away.
Zhang Bei made a silent wish in his heart that they would come back to this land full of passion and beautiful scenery to continue their unfinished fate with Dabie Mountains.
Abao seemed to understand everyone's thoughts. It was no longer as cheerful as when it came. It lay quietly by the car window, looking at Lu'an which was gradually going away with its black eyes, and occasionally whimpered softly, as if expressing its attachment.
The car was moving farther and farther away on the winding road, but the beautiful time in Dabie Mountains was like a never-fading painting, slowly unfolding in everyone's heart, warming the years to come.
