Zanzishi Village, the "First Village of Sweet Persimmons in China," is a sweet rural legend!
In the embrace of the Dabie Mountains, there is a place like a paradise on earth—Zanzishi Village, known as the "First Village of Sweet Persimmons in China."
Walking into Zanzishi Village is like stepping into a kingdom of sweet persimmons. The mountains are covered with lush sweet persimmon trees, and every autumn, the branches are full of plump and round sweet persimmons, like bright golden beads, shining with an enticing luster in the sunlight. The yellow color is the color of harvest, and it is also nature's generous gift to this land.
The sweet persimmons here are not ordinary; they are famous for their unique taste. Take a bite, and the sweet and juicy flesh spreads on the tip of your tongue, with no astringency, just like the pure and beautiful life here. The villagers carefully take care of these sweet persimmon trees, which are not only an economic source but also the soul of Zanzishi Village.
In addition to sweet persimmons, the natural scenery of Zanzishi Village is also fascinating. The ancient village is built on the mountain, with scattered houses dotted among them, and the white walls and black tiles complement the green mountains and rivers. The clear stream flows gently by the village, bringing the aura of the mountains and nourishing this land. Walking on the country paths, breathing the fresh air, listening to the birds singing, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the heart is full of tranquility.
Zanzishi Village is also a place full of stories. The older generation of villagers inherits the ancient farming culture and folk traditions, and every festival and harvest has a unique way of celebration. The people here are warm and hospitable, using sweet persimmons to entertain guests from afar, sharing their sweet life and rural memories. In Zanzishi Village, sweetness is not just the taste of sweet persimmons, but also a love for life, a deep-rooted rural sentiment.

Hubei Huanggang Dongpo Red Cliffs
Hubei Huanggang Dongpo Red Cliffs
Nian Nu Jiao·Chibi Huai Gu
The great river flows eastward, waves washing away, the heroes of ages past. By the old rampart's west side, people say, is the Red Cliffs of the Three Kingdoms' Zhou Yu. Chaotic rocks shatter the clouds, startling waves split the shore, rolling up a thousand heaps of snow. The landscape is like a painting, filled for a moment with so many heroes.
In distant thought of Gongjin back then, with young Qiao just wed, a figure so brave and handsome. With a feather fan and a silk cap, between talks and laughter, the mighty enemy is reduced to ashes and smoke. A spiritual journey to the old country, sentimental should laugh at me, for prematurely graying hair. Life is like a dream, toasting the moon over the river with a cup in hand.
'Nian Nu Jiao·Chibi Huai Gu' is a masterpiece that has shaken the souls of the Chinese people. Coming to Dongpo Red Cliffs located in Huanggang, Hubei, one can see how many people through the ages have chanted and engraved this work. Su Shi, one of the most charismatic poets in Chinese history, had an astonishing talent, blending a personality of boldness and innocence, unstrained elegance and wisdom.
I was truly captivated by the beauty here~ At first glance, it looks so much like Xinjiang
Surrounded by green mountains, vast lawns, and meandering streams, it's as picturesque as an oil painting~
Recently, the lawn has been covered with little flowers🌸🌸, and it's easy to take stunning photos just by snapping away.
Taking the family out for camping😍😍
is to get closer to nature and relax by setting up the tent on the grassland by the stream.
Sharing this beautiful scenery with the occasional passing cows and sheep... all of this is so harmonious.
Yangshan River Bar is a completely free place, where you can bring camping gear to stay overnight, and you can also barbecue, but you need to prepare your own ingredients in advance. If that's too much trouble, you can just bring ready-made food, which is what I did this time, only bringing the kiln chicken and some small braised snacks that my child loves~
Here you can also fish, fly kites, pick wild vegetables, (boating is not available at the moment)
Navigate to Yangshan River Bar, then drive towards Guojia River Wetland Park, and observe along the way to find this place.
P: Cars can be parked on the roadside, and there are parking spaces available, just choose a suitable place to park.
wc: There is a toilet within 400 meters of the camping spot.
I hope everyone will take care of the environment and remember to take their trash with them
Su Dongpo's Red Cliffs
In Huanggang City, Hubei Province, there is a rather special scenic area known as "Su Dongpo's Red Cliffs," which is different from the ancient battlefield of Chibi in Xianning City, with vastly different connotations.
Su Dongpo's Red Cliffs is where Su Dongpo was demoted to Huangzhou to serve as the deputy commander of the local militia. From the title alone, one can guess it was a relatively low-level official position, but Su Dongpo was, after all, an optimistic and renowned scholar. During his more than four years in Huangzhou, he managed to write two prose compositions and one poem, which might represent the pinnacle of his poetic achievements. However, the real battlefield of Chibi, located 100 kilometers away from Huangzhou, was a place of actual warfare...
The core area of Su Dongpo's Red Cliffs is not very large, but it is extremely exquisite and worth visiting, featuring attractions like "Su Dongpo's Shrine" and "Heavenly Spring"... Looking through the core area, it seems to be under expansion, which feels somewhat unnecessary.
The terraced flower sea in the village is in full bloom, and it's free with few people around | Near Wuhan
| Near Wuhan. "Who says that one cannot be young again, the water before my door can still flow westward" Su Dongpo once wrote poetry here.
🛤️ On the hill terraces,
the rapeseed flowers have painted a picture on the earth with their golden yellow, and the colorful rapeseed flowers on the mountain top seem to enter Monet's garden. This place is very niche, with few people, beautiful scenery, and the fragrance of flowers overflowing. Who understands, this freedom of spring and bright scenery~
📍Address: Chengshan Village, Bahe Town, Xishui County, Huanggang
🧭Navigation: Chengshan Rapeseed Flower Sea
⚠️Some tips for playing:
✅Drive directly, free🆓, continue driving to the left side of Chengshan Reservoir to reach the mountainside for a broader view.
✅The rapeseed flowers have a long blooming period, and now it's the peak, lasting until the Qingming Festival.
✅Several continuous mountains are covered with rapeseed flowers, making a spring hike or a one-day mountain climbing trip suitable.
✅Didn't see any shops around, all are some original ecological villages, bring your own provisions and water this time.
🌲The wind already carries the scent of spring
🍃So chase the wind, and also chase freedom~
Highly recommend the beautiful and uncrowded Dongpo Red Cliff during the Spring Festival!
During the Spring Festival holiday, I went to the Dongpo Red Cliff Scenic Area, and it's really a pity that such a good scenic spot has few people. 🤔
However, having fewer people also has its advantages, making the experience more leisurely and comfortable. 😜
📢I strongly suggest everyone to spend 80 yuan for a guide, you will really gain a lot! The guide will give you a deeper understanding of the history and culture here, adding more fun. 🎓
The scenery of the scenic area is really beautiful, with the river flowing leisurely and the green mountains surrounding, making people feel happy. 🤗
There are also many steles, calligraphy and paintings and other cultural relics, showing the long history and cultural heritage. 📚
Walking here, it seems to be able to feel the pride and talent of Su Dongpo in those years. 😍
🙅Don't miss this beautiful and meaningful place!
Visiting Anguo Temple in search of Su Dongpo's footprints
Located under the Qingyun Tower, Anguo Temple has weathered a thousand years of wind and rain.
Han Qi once studied hard in the west wing of this temple, eventually becoming a scholar and a famous minister. When Su Dongpo was exiled to Huangzhou, he often came here to meditate and cleanse himself, creating many poems and essays about Anguo Temple. Leaving Huangzhou, Su Dongpo's mood and poetry both experienced a qualitative improvement, which I think may be closely related to this thousand-year-old temple.
So, I came here, following the footsteps of Su Dongpo. I was deeply attracted by the hundred-year-old hackberry tree on the top of Qingyun Tower... I couldn't help but marvel at the tenacity of life. It seems to understand why people are still attracted by Su Dongpo to this day. Perhaps what we love is not only his timeless poetry, but also his optimism, open-mindedness, and the courage to face difficulties, struggle, give up, wail... and finally move forward.
📍Detailed address:
Huangzhou District, Huanggang City, Hubei Province
❤Recommended reason:
Su Dongpo often came here when he was exiled to Huangzhou, a must-visit place in Huangzhou
👍Most recommended:
Follow Su Dongpo's footprints, friends who love Su Dongpo must not miss it.

Drifting is the complete summer! If you want a day trip on the weekend, look here! I guarantee you won't lose!
I made an appointment with my friends to set off at nine o'clock, drove from Wuhan city to Taohuachong, because drifting really really really consumes a lot of heat, so the team leader planned to arrive at Yingshan County at about 11:45 at noon to eat Luotian hanging pot. The specialty there is the hanging pot, a street is the hanging pot shop, the team leader made a strategy to choose a Luotian Paradise hanging pot, four people can't finish the meal, strongly recommend lamb hanging pot meat is soft and rotten and more, the inside of the vegetarian variety is rich and very tasty.
About an hour for a meal, after eating, continue to drive to Taohuachong, the journey is about more than an hour, the mountain road is still relatively easy to drive, but still need to pay more attention to the corner, some do not have a corner mirror! The key point is, must! must! must! Park the car at the end of the bath and change clothes. Our four people first went to the starting point to change tickets and prepare, one person drove the car to the end (about six minutes by car) and then spent ten yuan to take the bus up to meet. The preparation work before drifting is not much to say, remember not to wear exposed shoes (strongly recommend hole shoes, as long as the back frame will not fall off! Can also be used as a water tool)
There will be two ticket checks, we about 14:20 the first ticket check in, did not expect a bit far to walk about 7.800 meters are mountain roads, will arrive at the second ticket check, the embarrassing point is: because the day people are still a bit more, did not expect to queue, we queued for forty minutes before the second ticket check, to grab safety clothes and safety helmet paddle is a wooden stick, about 15:10 butt sat on the boat. Drifting time is about two hours less, depending on whether or not stranded in the middle there are several places to rest can buy water, in summary, not particularly exciting, most are still very flat, but the water is really clear.
After drifting hot water bath 10 meters per person, the environment do not expect everyone is very honest, girls with long hair remember to bring a hair dryer there is a small house can plug in the hair. Want to drift rest assured bold rush, leisurely!
I’m a businessman that enjoy the services of Trip.com
Bi Sheng drifting, sometimes thrilling, sometimes soothing. When the boat is quiet and elegant, you can lie on the sky and sway the sky, blue sky and white clouds; look around the green hills, the eucalyptus is lush, listening to the birds singing in a vague way; the shore grass is green, hiding in the water, flowing jade flying green. When the stream was in a hurry, the boat rushed to the right and swayed, the spirit was stimulated, the blood was boiling, the hands and feet were tense, the kayak rushed to the reef, the heart beat, the waves splashed, the water drops, and the boat crashed and turned with the water. Forward and forward. Play all the way, cheering all the way.
The hotel at the foot of the mountain, the wooden house on the top of the mountain, you have thought of this way of going uphill, from the first floor of the hotel to the elevator to the sixth floor, to the end is a long wooden corridor, through the corridor, the wooden house is in front of you. The lush green forest, the insects and birds, the hot spring pool next to the wooden house, and the breeze blow away the water vapor.
Late at night, why worry, only food, I know you have not slept!
The current city is very similar. It is nothing more than high-rise buildings and crowds. If you want to discover the taste of a city, the best way is to try the food here and feel the unique culture of the city from the food. .
