If the most earthly place is the vegetable market, then the park must be the place full of happiness! After breakfast, take a walk in Hongmei Park. The park not only has the beautiful scenery of yellowing autumn leaves, but also grandpas and grandmas playing various musical instruments, babies learning to talk and walk, and young men and women exercising in the morning... I met an old man in the park square who uses water as ink to write. He told me that he comes to practice calligraphy every morning, which can both exercise and cultivate sentiment. When I came, it was not the season when the red plum blossoms. When the red plum blossoms in February and March, I will come again for a date with the red plum! After visiting the park, find a Changzhou restaurant for lunch. We had lunch at Tangqiao Lao Ge, a Changzhou restaurant with many chain stores. This time I didn't go to Tianmu Mountain, but I can't miss the fish head of Tianmu Lake. The braised fish head is tender and sweet. The net oil roll and Changzhou's first dish are also delicious😋, after eating, have a cup of Changzhou old yogurt, it's a perfect meal. I especially like slow travel, with beautiful scenery and food, adding color to life and soothing the soul.
