In Xikou of Fenghua, there are many tourists in the town, unlike many life-style towns in the south of the Yangtze River, where there is a very eager life image.The stream at the mouth of the stream is the Shanxi River, which flows from west to east until Wulingtou and Xinan Mountain are blocked to form a mouth, which is called Xikou.Shanxi is the Shanxi on the road of Tang poetry. Bai Juyi once wrote: "The mountains and rivers in the southeast are the head, Shan is the face, and Wozhou Tianmu is the eyebrow."The poets of the Tang Dynasty wrote about the frontier, and their poems about the frontier are very majestic and poignant. Going to Hechang" by walking the Shan River, either downstream or upstream, the road of Tang poetry traces from the Qiantang River to the Shiliang Waterfall in Tiantai Mountain. It is 190 kilometers long. Grandma Yin Stay Farewell".

It is still understandable today that the poets of the Tang Dynasty walked one after another, along the clear and shallow, long-flowing Shan River, and experienced the Wuyue atmosphere of "the mountains stretch for tens of miles, and the bamboos lead to Pingjin".In early summer, the mountains are verdant, the bottom of the Shanxi River can be seen clearly, there may be small bridges, there are many bamboos on both sides, and the spherical crowns of camphor trees are scattered at the foot of the mountain and beside the water.If you walk such a road, you can guess how wonderful it is.From Shanzhou through Siming Mountain to Xikou, the eyes look over the villages with black tiles and white walls, or the tea mountains with white mist and green clouds. The clear and long water is a mirror, and walking on the scenery always gives people a sense of relaxation and joy, and their thoughts are light.

When I arrived at Xikou, I crossed the bridge and took a rest on the other side of the Shanxi River, watching the people coming and going in the small town, and on the creek port, there were also red men and women washing their faces with handkerchiefs in water, and went to the road dust.The scenery is infinitely beautiful, and it is early summer when many wild flowers bloom on the shore, exuding a tranquil or bitter fragrance.Back to the town from the bridge, follow the flow of people to Fenghaofang. This is the former residence of Chiang Kai-shek. The door is engraved with the words of national key cultural relics protection unit. The funny thing is that there is a young man who looks like a young Chiang Kai-shek standing on the left side of the door. , full forehead, with a Jiang-style beard, wearing a black gown, white gloves, holding a yellow silk paper folding fan in his left hand, and a black parasol in his right hand, paying 20 yuan to take a photo with an umbrella for tourists, the business is very prosperous.I'm not interested in this anymore, so I turned to watch the making of puff pastry.

The production of thousand-layer cake should be a small scenery in Xikou Town. The cake maker makes it in front of people and bakes it in front of people. It is dark green. The 2 cm thick layer cake has 27 layers. The main raw material is flour, sugar, sesame, peanut and moss powder are added, and it is baked after twelve steps of cake making.Baking means sticking it in a traditional hearth and baking it for about 3 hours.After watching it for about half an hour, I also weighed a catty, and it was really crispy, sweet and salty.As a question, the thousand-layer cake was first created in the fourth year of Guangxu (1878) by brothers Wang Maolong and Wang Hualong who opened Wang Yongshun Bakery in Xikou Town.

Taro head is the most famous food in Xikou. "Running through three passes and six piers, I have eaten Fenghua taro head." This is someone who has seen the world in the old days.Taro head is taro head, and there are four types of taro head in Xikou: big taro, red taro, yellow powder and sweet potato.Therefore, taro heads must be eaten in Xikou Town. According to the research of Taiwanese gourmets, the most inseparable thing in Mr. Chiang Kai-shek’s life is taro heads. Sometimes he eats three steamed taro heads in one meal, and nothing else. Enter the hotel, go upstairs, and find a private room facing the street. Here you can see the street and the Shan River outside the street. There are already boys and girls jumping into the stream to play in the water. The sunshine, green bamboo, clear water and the dynamic blend of youth Together... I started ordering.I want a stewed duck with taro heads, but this dish is not available. The duck with taro heads will be eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival. At that time, the ducks will grow and the taro heads will be harvested. It is a good time to taste this dish.Forget it, I ordered pork ribs stewed with taro head, braised lamb tail bamboo shoots in oil, and some other dishes, but I forgot about it, and ordered Ningbo K brand beer.The taste of taro head can be expressed by soft and waxy fragrance. I feel that this taste is boiled in white water, and its taste is also good.Just eat taro head ribs, braised lamb tail bamboo shoots in oil, drink K brand beer, and watch the long clear stream of Shanxi River.Sheeptail bamboo shoots still need to be written. Sheeptail bamboo shoots are processed from young bamboo shoots and named after the shape of sheep’s tail. There are several types of bamboo in Xikou: carnation, also known as black bamboo, red-shelled bamboo, yellow-shelled bamboo, snow bamboo.Walking along the Shanxi River, it seems that bamboo shoots are eaten everywhere, and there are many fresh bamboo shoots.Xikou Town is full of bamboos, backed by Xuedou Mountain, facing the Shan River, it is very elegant and peaceful, with green mountains and blue sky, shallow water and eternal flow, can you go boating?

Satisfied with wine and food, go to Xuedou Mountain.The journey to Xuedou Mountain is not short. Leaving the main road in Xikou Town, you will encounter Tea Mountain. In other words, from Shanzhou, there will be Tea Mountain along the way. There are tea, bamboo, camphor, stream, and fern bushes everywhere , You can see clusters of red cloud-like rhododendrons.On the Panshan Highway, the clouds and fog are shrouded, just like the Ziyun Mountain in Huangmei when I went to Huangmei in a certain year.However, when I went to Ziyun Mountain that time, I heard wild goats cry, "Ang, Aang, Aang", and I thought it was a large beast, especially when the sun was setting, the sound was quite refreshing.

Winding up along the tea mountain, the mountain is green and the sky is blue. Thinking of a word of snow on Xuedou Mountain, the fog in the valley will gradually become whiter.The car parked beside the gate of Xuedou Temple, and when I raised my head, I could see the old trees above Bitan.Walking slowly, the breeze is gentle, there are many strange rocks and bridges beside the Bitan, living in this mountain, you should be able to fish here, stand by the Bitan for a while, go to the edge of the cliff, look at Qianzhang Cliff, the clear spring twists and turns, It winds down thousands of feet, flows down the mountain stream, and flows to Tingxia Lake in the valley.Tingxia Lake is a piece of clear water in the mountains. The mountains are green and the water is like a mirror. After the collapse, a two-story villa with a combination of Chinese and Western styles was built on the original site, named Leting, and the small courtyard was very quiet. Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling lived here when they returned to their hometowns. On the afternoon of December 12, 1939, Japanese bombers blew up Laoting. The current Laoting was rebuilt with investment from the government in 1986.

After visiting Laoting, I walked to a roadside, and saw someone frying tea, so I went to ask about the tea. The tea maker said that what he fried was Xuedou Mountain Yunwu, and this tea must be drunk. Buy a couple or two and fry it The tea maker packs and sends a tea caddy, puts the tea into the bag, and feels happy in his heart. It is also rare to go to Xikou to make a cup of Xuedou Mountain cloud and mist drink.There was a man selling taro heads next to the tea maker. He weighed the weight and gave up. The road to carry was too long.
