The scent of ink is everywhere, and I visited the former residence of Wang Xizhi.
Visit the old garden of Wang Youjun, the scent of ink still remains after a thousand years; the calligraphy has been passed down to this day, and the treasures of the stele forest will always be fragrant.
Visiting the former residence of Wang Xizhi in Linyi City, I deeply felt the profound cultural heritage that has lasted for thousands of years. Those ancient houses and a pool of clear water are all telling the legendary stories of history. (•̀ω•́)✧
🌟Highlights:
The scenic area is very large, it is said to be 80 acres. When I went there, it was already after the National Day, so there were not many people and the experience was very good. You can park at the door, wear an explanatory headset🎧 and come in.
As soon as I came in, I saw a lot of steles full of calligraphy. The inkstone washing pool and the Orchid Pavilion Preface stele left the deepest impression. There is also an underground ancient tomb, which is worth seeing.

Ink Fragrance and Langya Charm: Linyi Wang Xizhi's Former Residence Protection Center.
On this land filled with the fragrance of books and historical atmosphere, Linyi Wang Xizhi's Former Residence Protection Center is like a bright pearl, inlaid in the heart of Qilu land. It is not only a memorial to the life of Wang Xizhi, a generation of calligraphers, but also an artistic treasure of the perfect integration of traditional Chinese culture and natural landscape.
Stepping into this antique courtyard, it seems to be instantly traversed to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the sound of the inkstone grinding seems to sound in the ears, and the figure of Wang Xizhi's ink splashing appears in front of him. Every detail is carefully carved, from the exquisite wood-carved window lattice to the delicate stone-carved door lintel, all of which show the wisdom and ingenuity of ancient craftsmen.
The layout of the garden is well-organized, with small bridges and flowing water, bamboo shadows, and fragrant flowers. The four seasons change gives it different styles. Cherry blossoms in spring, lotus flowers in summer, chrysanthemums in autumn, and snow in winter. Whether it is a clear morning or a hazy night, you can find a rare tranquility and indifference here.
It is especially recommended for tourists to experience the "calligraphy experience class" in person. Under the guidance of professional teachers, hold the brush in hand and feel the cultural heritage contained in the strokes. In addition, the "Night Tour of the Former Residence" event also has a different flavor. The former residence under the moonlight is more mysterious and charming, as if you can hear the ink left by the sages whispering.

2024 Self-driving Jiangsu, Shandong, and Henan (13): The Most Beautiful Langya—Linyi.
Linyi, formerly known as Langya, is an ancient city with a history of thousands of years.
Walking through the streets and alleys of Linyi, you can feel as if you are traveling through time and experiencing the weight and vicissitudes of history.
Wang Xizhi's former residence is located at No. 21, Xiyanshi Chi Street, Lanshan District, Linyi City, Shandong Province. It is a complex of classical garden-style buildings.
Today, Wang Xizhi's former residence includes four main scenic areas: Yanzhi Huigu, Qu Shui Liu Shang, Xi Yang Pu Zhao, and Qianqiu Wu Xian, as well as Wang Xizhi Exhibition Hall, Wang Xianzhi Exhibition Hall, Wu Xian Temple Exhibition Hall, Goose Pool, and other attractions. It also houses famous inscriptions from both China and abroad, including the Liu Stele, the Langya Five Xian Stele, the Lanting Map, the Seventeen Posts, and the Langya Post. It has become an important place to showcase the life and achievements of Wang Xizhi, the "Sage of Calligraphy".
Historically, there was a famous saying about the "Four Loves" of ancient people: "Zhou Dunyi loves lotus, Tao Yuanming loves chrysanthemums, Meng Haoran loves plum, and Wang Xizhi loves geese". Therefore, a pond called "Goose Pool" was built in Wang Xizhi's former residence.
The characters "goose" and "pool" were written by Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi, respectively.
When you come to Linyi, you must try Linyi's special breakfast—San.
San (sá) has a long history. It is said that San was brought to Linyi by a Hui couple from Dadu, the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, and has been passed down ever since.
At first, this delicious breakfast was simply called "meat paste" or "meat porridge". However, during the Qing Dynasty, when Emperor Qianlong traveled south and passed through what is now Tancheng, Linyi, local officials presented him with this unique breakfast. The emperor found it very delicious and asked casually, "What is this (San)?". The local officials nodded and said, "This is what (San), this is what (San)".
Therefore, a dialect homophone led to its current name—San.
Freshly fried dough sticks are the soul mate of San. Tear the freshly fried dough sticks into small pieces and soak them in San so that they absorb the soup. A bite of dough stick followed by a few sips of hot soup—this is the deliciousness of Linyi people, and it also injects a day's energy into many people who are working hard.
Linyi people love chicken, especially stir-fried chicken, which has become a must-have dish for Linyi people to entertain guests. In this city, there is a stir-fried chicken restaurant almost every 500 meters.
We went to Xiangmin Stir-fried Chicken, which was highly recommended by a friend. Located at 21 Yimeng Road, Lanshan District, Linyi City, this stir-fried chicken restaurant has a deep cultural and historical background.
The restaurant has a unique environment and custom-made tables and chairs, making you feel like you've stepped back in time. Their stir-fried chicken is also a must-try, especially their young rooster and old rooster.
The young rooster has a delicate texture and delicious meat. It fully absorbs the flavor of the spices during the stir-frying process. In contrast, the old rooster has a firm texture and a deep flavor, which is more suitable for diners who like a chewy texture. Each piece of meat is full of elasticity, and the aroma released during chewing is endless.
Xiangmin Stir-fried Chicken is super large, enough for 3-4 people to enjoy. And, with stir-fried chicken and steamed buns, you can eat and drink to your heart's content. At the same time, Xiangmin Stir-fried Chicken is very reasonably priced, and it is the best value-for-money restaurant we have come across on our trip.
