Roaming in the dark

Chapter 392 Yongcheng is a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou

Yongcheng is a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Hangcheng. The urban area is small, and it is a narrow strip squeezed out by the rolling mountains behind and the Xin'an River in front.There is only one main street in the urban area, from Jiaoshan at the end of Xin'an Road to Luotong Port at the other end of Xin'an Road, it passes through the entire urban area.

Sheng Chuncheng and the others drove to Luotong port, left the urban area and continued to drive towards the reservoir of Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station, that is, Qiandao Lake.Qiandao Lake is a reservoir formed by the construction of Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station. The local people, especially the workers of the power plant, are not used to calling this piece of water Qiandao Lake, but Xin'anjiang Reservoir.

The water surface of the reservoir area submerged the two county towns of Chun'an and Sui'an, and now under the Qiandao Lake, the two ancient cities of Shicheng and Hecheng are still intact.

Hecheng is the original county seat of Chun'an, and Lion City is the original county seat of Sui'an.

After the dam was closed in [-] and the Xin'an River was blocked for storage, the water level rose rapidly. At that time, people in the county not only had no time to demolish their houses, but many people had no time to move away their heavy furniture and farm tools. They were completely submerged, and they could only bring their belongings, take a last look at their former residence, and then board the car to be immigrated.

Thousands of families in the two counties, the joys and sorrows passed down from generation to generation, were permanently sealed under the water in [-].

After the completion of the power station, the water level in the reservoir area rose, and the area of ​​the reservoir area was very large, as large as the West Lake of [-] Hangzhou, known as "Three Thousands of West Lakes".The original mountain tops were still exposed above the water, and they became small islands scattered all over the place, and Qiandao Lake was formed.Qiandao Lake can be said to be a natural scenic spot, but also a large-scale man-made landscape.

After passing Luotong Port, the car is driving on the road surrounded by mountains and rivers. On the right is the lush hillside, and on the left is the clear and sparkling Xin'an River.

Drive forward for five or six minutes, and there is a three-way intersection in front of you. Go straight to the Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station, and turn right into a mountain depression.

The driver turned the car to the right, and soon after entering, he entered a winding mountain road.On both sides of the road, there is a state-owned forest farm, which has been abandoned. No matter whether it is the stacked timber, the closed sawmill, or the original house of the farm, there is no one there.The open space in front of the door has been covered by fallen leaves and weeds. On this winter afternoon, it suddenly jumped into people's eyes, showing a sense of mourning.

The car climbed halfway up the mountain for seven or eight minutes, and arrived at the entrance of a tunnel. The tunnel was dug decades ago. It is very small and old, and can only accommodate one car. When passing vehicles arrive at the tunnel entrance, they must stop first. Check to see if there is a car coming from the opposite side, and drive in without turning on the lights.

The inside of the tunnel was dark, there were no lights, and the road below was potholed. On both sides and overhead, there were bare rock walls that had not been treated with cement slurry.The entire tunnel is a completely original cave, and it will be open to traffic after it is dug through and the ground is leveled.

When the car was driving in the tunnel, there were constant drops of water, dripping down from the roof, and falling on the roof with a bang.

Fortunately, the mountains here are all hard granite. Although the tunnels are crude, there is no danger of safety.

After passing through the tunnel, the eyes suddenly open up. The trees, lawns, antique buildings, and the two mountains are pushed aside, revealing the emerald green Qiandao Lake, like a scroll, unfolding in front of your eyes.

The reason why the tunnel is simple is that in the past so many years, there has been no huge investment in renovation, because after passing through the tunnel, there is only one place to go, and that is the Qiandao Lake Tourist Wharf in Yongcheng.

Although a quarter of Qiandao Lake's water surface belongs to Yongcheng City, for the sake of unified management, the jurisdiction over this part of the water surface has been entrusted to the neighboring county Chun'an.The development of scenic spots on the lake is basically in Chun'an County. When foreigners come to Qiandao Lake to travel, they usually take the high-speed rail or drive directly to Qiandaohu Town, the county seat of Chun'an County.

Few people would take the route from Yongcheng to Qiandao Lake, this cruise ship pier has become a place where almost only locals go out and go in and out of Qiandao Lake, so there are not many people.

From the cruise ship wharf, along the side of the mountain, there was only a narrow path, which bypassed the mountain in front and turned to another lake bay. It turned out that there was a village called Shibahu. From the name, we also knew the origin of this village. Little, this village has now been requisitioned by Liu Ligan and the others, and developed into a homestay of "Thousand Island People".

Speaking of homestays, the scale here is equivalent to a small hotel. It is one of the largest homestays in "Renjia Tourism" and one of their most popular homestays. Some powerful companies in Hangzhou and Shanghai are very I like to come here for internal company meetings or team building.

The B&B can accommodate three to 40 people at the same time, with complete supporting facilities. The B&B belongs to it, and there is also a lakeside garden. When Zhang Chen was designing it, he tried his best to retain the original style and features, even the original adobe houses of the local villagers. Two buildings were preserved and converted into supporting rooms for B&Bs.

With such a large-scale homestay, Sheng Chuncheng felt a little strange when he knew that it was all booked up and only one guest lived here, so it's not surprising.

The original narrow path was transformed into an asphalt road that can pass a car by "Renjia Tourism". The road is covered with pine needles and pine balls of masson pine. There was a clicking sound.

Turning around the mountain in front, driving into another bay parallel to the wharf, we arrived at "Qiandao Renjia", where users and staff dormitories are received, and they are all in a house with white walls and black tiles. The driver took Sheng Chuncheng to him. I drove back to Hangzhou.

The B&B is still working, there is a store manager Xiaowei, a waiter, and a chef from "Diet Man and Woman". When Sheng Chuncheng arrived, there were four of them.

Xiaowei led Sheng Chuncheng to the dormitory, put down the luggage, and said to him: "I will take you to meet the guest first, the guest knows you are here, and when he needs you, he can call you to serve him. "

Sheng Chuncheng nodded and said yes.

Sheng Chuncheng followed Xiaowei to the main building of the B&B. Xiaowei did not go in, but led him to a side road, walked along the Binhu Garden, turned around the bottom of the lake bay, and When I turned around, there was a masson pine forest here.

In this pine forest, when the water level of Qiandao Lake is high, their roots are all in the water, and when the water level is low, they are all exposed to the water.Now is the dry season, the root of the forest is a swamp, they walked along a trail built of moso bamboos, creaking and creaking towards the lake, they could smell the fragrance of turpentine and the stench of silt on both sides.

At the end of the bamboo path is a platform also made of moso bamboo, facing the water, and on the platform is a pavilion with a bamboo frame and thatched roof.

Sheng Chuncheng saw that there was a chair in the pavilion, with a person sitting on it, and a bamboo table next to it. There was a glass stove on the bamboo table, boiling tea.

When approaching, Sheng Chuncheng saw that sitting was a thin middle-aged man in his 50s, his face was very pale, so white that it was so pale.It was cold by the lake, though not too windy, and he had a blanket over his shoulders and another over his knees.

He stared at the lake in front of him quietly, motionless, even if Xiao Wei and Sheng Chuncheng approached, he didn't react at all, if he saw his eyes open, Sheng Chuncheng would have thought he was asleep.

"Mr. Sun, this is a masseur. If you need it, you can call him 24 hours a day and ask him to serve you." Xiaowei told him.

Mr. Sun was expressionless, as if he hadn't heard Xiao Wei's words. After a few minutes, he turned his head, as if he didn't look at them, just nodded slightly, then turned back and continued to look at the lake.

Xiao Wei tilted her head towards Sheng Chuncheng and said softly, "Let's go".

Sheng Chuncheng nodded, and they walked back along the bamboo path.
