A trip to Hangzhou

        In retrospect, I haven't been to Hangzhou for nearly four years. The last time I went was on New Year's Day in 2019. I can finally visit Hangzhou again after this rare leisure.

                The sky was clear in Shanghai when we set out, but it was drizzling when we arrived in Hangzhou. After putting the luggage, the first thing is to come to the West Lake. Even in rainy days, the lakeside is still crowded with tourists. People stand by the lakeside to take photos and punch in cards; In front of the Jixian Pavilion, large lotus leaves are dancing and stretching in the rain. There are not many lotus flowers. It seems that the season has passed; The lake water ripples with the wind, and the rain falls, causing ripples in circles. Occasionally, fish jump out of the water; The people on the boat and on the shore become the scenery of each other; In the distance, the green mountains are blue and blue, stretching high and low, and looming in the rain. The water vapor in the rain converges into clouds, floating among the mountains, like a picture of green landscape... For four years, the West Lake in rainy days is still the same as in memory and has not changed.

        Holding an umbrella, I walked and stopped along the West Lake. When I met the beautiful scenery, I picked up my camera and took some photos. There are a group of people around the bank under the tree. When they look close, they are feeding squirrels. Three or five squirrels are not afraid of people. They are used to people's feeding. They are fluffy, their eyes are dripping, and their hands are holding nuts and eating. They are very cute. At this time, the rain is getting bigger and bigger. The raindrops float into the umbrella with the wind and fall on the camera. I don't care about my heartache, just shoot.

                After dinner, when I came to the lake, it was dark. I returned along the lake. At this time, the lake was dark, which made me dizzy; The mountains in the distance are no longer visible. Only the gem hill in front and the gem tower on the hill can be seen faintly. Under the street lamp beside the lake, tourists take photos from time to time. The rain is suddenly sudden and intermittent. Under the light, it looks like pearls falling. When I walked into the Jixian Pavilion, someone took shelter from the rain, listened to the wind, and stared at the lake. The wind blew into the pavilion with rain, and sprinkled on my arm. This scene made me recall that four years ago, it was also a rainy night, also by the West Lake, and also under the Jixian Pavilion. The difference was that at that time, a group of young people were singing in the pavilion, but now three or two people are silent and listening to the rain... everything seems like yesterday.

        After dinner the next day, go to Jiuxi Yanshu. The weather turned sunny, the sun finally appeared, and the sky and earth became bright. I started from Jiuxi Village, walked all the way along the pedestrian path, and passed through the Linhai Pavilion. The weather turned overcast, and the trees and water were dark green. From time to time, there are tea gardens along the road, and the layers of tea trees are arranged in order. Occasionally, I saw a couple taking wedding photos in the tea garden. The contrast between the white wedding dress and the green tea tree is also very harmonious. After arriving at the Jiuxi Yanshu Stone Stele, go to Longjing Village. At this time, the road is paved with stones. Walking on it, you have a different feeling on your feet. A clear stream flows from top to bottom and twists and turns. The mountain road is beside the stream. Since the stream flows across the road from time to time, I can only walk through the stone pier on the side. The stream is extremely clear, and the rocks at the bottom of the water have been soaked by the stream for a long time. The surface appears turquoise and amber, like pieces of treasure; Reach into the water, your fingertips are cool, and your heart ripples slightly. It feels as if the heat and irritability of the whole summer are gone at this moment. It is very comfortable.

                After the Jiuhong Pavilion, it began to rain again, and I continued to move forward with an umbrella. On the way, I often meet tourists walking down. Although it is rainy, everyone's face is full of relief and joy. I should be very satisfied with the beauty of the road. After crossing a blocking stream, I suddenly saw a small snake crawling on the ground in front of me at a very fast speed. In a flash, I climbed into the grass beside the road. As the rain grew stronger, the water vapor merged into water mist, and the hills on both sides gradually disappeared. The rain hit the leaves around, and the mountains and fields were full of rustle. The tea gardens and trees on the mountains were already a thick blue and blue color in the rain, like the strokes dipped in thick ink in the painting scroll, one by one reflected in the lush Jiuxi mountains, in the misty rain, and under the rusty trees, On the winding and uneven small stone path... I stopped and enjoyed it quietly.

        Until the rain subsided slightly, I continued my journey and came to a parking lot. This is asphalt pavement. I think we have arrived at Longjing Village. There are several local people in the village. Two sell lotus seeds and figs, and another woman is soliciting tourists to drink tea. Just along the way, she feels a little thirsty, so she looks for a teahouse, goes to the second floor, and brews a pot of Longjing tea. Watching the lines of tourists passing by on the road, watching the clouds and mists on the mountains in the distance, sipping a sip of tea into my throat, I suddenly felt tired and refreshed. In a short time, the rain was sharp, and the eaves ran down rain columns. The raindrops hit the tiles, splashed drops of water, and made a clattering sound. The rain splashed into the corridor, wet the tables and chairs beside me, and soaked the moisture on my body. The wind blew, and I felt a little cool. I could only drink tea and wait for the rain to rest.

                The rain finally stopped, and the tiredness of the whole body also disappeared. I followed the directions of the road sign and turned on the ten mile pendant. I thought the streams and trees along the way were extremely wonderful, but I didn't think the scenery here was the highlight of this trip. On the top of the mountain, you can see green everywhere. The whole mountain is full of large tea gardens, with rows of tea trees beside you, like green waves. Turn around and look back. The green hills opposite are charming and high and low; The fog is dense, and mountains are hidden in it; The misty rain is hazy, and the houses are located at the foot of the mountain. From time to time, the sound of partridges came from the mountains, adding a sense of illusion to this rainy day. Climbing halfway up the mountainside and looking around, a dead tree grew on the mountainside, clubbed in the middle of the tea tree, and its branches were in disorder; Further up, the grass and trees on the side of the road are becoming more and more abundant, lying on the road askew, the leaves are covered with water drops, and the trouser legs are soaked after a few steps. After hundreds of steps, the trees were lush, and the wind was blowing with water mist, passing through the treetops, rustling, and blowing on me, I suddenly felt a sense of coolness. Just as it was getting late, the grass and trees on the mountain were already dark, so I went back.

        When I went down to Longjing Village, there were still pedestrians and vehicles on the road. I took a taxi to return. The car shuttled between the mountains, passed through the Quyuan Fenghe, and then came to the West Lake. The road twists and turns, and the sky began to rain again. When the car went around the West Lake, it was dark, but I could still see pedestrians on the broken bridge getting up and down, and the lights were dim in the distance. It was very noisy.

        No feeling is like feeling, and words can be recorded.
