Mountains and Waters in a Painting, Poetic Living

【Tianmu Lake · Embracing the Splendid Waters】
Boating on Tianmu Lake, the shimmering waters glisten as islands scatter like jade pearls on a jade plate. Distant mountains appear misty blue, while nearby waters reflect the clouds. With a gentle push of the oar, ripples spread the tenderness of Jiangnan. The lakeside is filled with the lingering fragrance of tea, while the fresh fish head soup awakens your taste buds—a perfect embrace of natural scenery and local flavors.

【Nanshan Bamboo Sea · Green Waves Cleansing the Mind】
Thousands of acres of bamboo surge like waves forming a sea. As wind passes through the treetops, the rustling sounds like nature's whispers. Walking through the emerald corridor, dappled bamboo shadows filter the sunlight. Occasionally encountering babbling mountain springs, cup a handful of cool water and let the noise of the world sink into the earth with the greenery.

【Wawu Mountain · Seeking Serenity in a Hidden Realm】
Morning mist lightly shrouds Wawu Mountain, with cloud-hidden temples appearing and disappearing. From the summit, gaze into the distance where peaks surge like waves toward the horizon. Mountain villages remain peaceful, with dogs barking behind wooden gates and moss-covered stone steps—as if you've stumbled into the Peach Blossom Spring from Tao Yuanming's writings.

【Liyang No. 1 Highway · Freedom to Roam】
The rainbow road winds through mountains and waters, whether speeding by motorcycle or leisurely cycling, everything becomes scenery. Rice fields, tea gardens, wetlands, and flower seas flow past your window as the wind carries the fragrance of grass and trees to your face. Every kilometer is a verse in a poem about the pursuit of freedom.
"Half lake and mountain, half city—Liyang brews tea with bamboo charm, uses clear waters as paper, and waits for you to write your own slow-paced moments in this ink-wash scroll."
