Tongji Lake is located 3 kilometers west of Pujiang County, on the upper reaches of the Puyang River. It is about 30 kilometers away from Jinhua and Yiwu. Take the Pu-Yi Highway, turn onto the Pu-Lan Line towards Lanxi, and then follow the Mao-Ya Line to reach the shores of Tongji Lake.
“Tongji Lake” – The wise delight in mountains, the benevolent in water.
The temperature difference between day and night causes water vapor to rise from Tongji Lake, creating a hazy atmosphere against the backdrop of the mountains. The buildings add a touch of elegance to this picturesque scene. The village faces the Tongji Reservoir and is backed by the Guangming Mountains, demonstrating its prime location and abundant resources.
Whether you stand on the railing, or take a small boat, let the water fill your vision and your thoughts drift far away.
In the morning, on the tranquil shores of Tongji Lake, it is a blessing to close your eyes and enjoy the peace.
While the mountains are silent, the water speaks. Mountains and water, stillness and movement, simple and spectacular coexist, composing a beautiful symphony of mountains and rivers.
Get away from the city and the crowds, give yourself more time to spend with Tongji Lake, and enjoy the tranquility around you.
The slow melody of the flute, like the flow of time, light and subtle, passing through the joys and sorrows of life, breaking which chord, causing the flowers to fall into an array, dancing before your eyes, in a state of intoxication.
The morning sun reveals the beautiful face of Tongji Lake. When you touch the lake’s breath and your own, you feel the verdant rice stalks bending gently to greet you.
“Qianwu Village” – Beautiful Qianwu, Blooming with Life The Qianwu Village on the shore of Tongji Lake has a thriving literary tradition and has produced many famous scholars. In the early Yuan Dynasty, Wu Wei, the magistrate of Yiwu County, refused to serve in the government and returned to his hometown, where he devoted himself to poetry and wine and formed the Yuequan Poetry Society, which had a profound influence on later generations.
The newly built Qianwu Village still retains its ancient charm. Rows of white walls and black tiles, with drips of water from the eaves forming moss, create a picturesque scene.
There are unique high-end B&Bs along the lake, offering a variety of styles, from artistic to elegant to simple, catering to different tastes. You can stay overnight and experience the tranquility of the mountains at night and the rising mist from the lake in the morning.
Travel blogger visited a B&B called “Yijing” (meaning “tranquility”). As soon as you enter, you are greeted by music and sunlight, overlooking the lake, the warm American furniture feels like home. The B&B is located in a curve of the lake, with a 200-degree view of the lake, facing the widest part of the lake and three of the six islands, which are staggered in distance and size, creating a unique and beautiful scenery.
The owner seems to have a particular fondness for deer, with deer motifs appearing everywhere in the rooms, hallways, desks, and tea rooms, reminding me of the line from the “Book of Songs, Xiaoya, Deer Shout”:
“I have a group of good guests, who play the zither, flute, and sing songs.”
Seeing this, I couldn’t help but feel a growing affection for the owner.
I thought, this owner must be someone worth making friends with. Outside is a paradise on earth, inside is a dreamy heaven, hiding in this world, meeting the poetry and distant places of your dreams.
Yijing has four room types, all designed in a simple European style, clean and simple, elegant and generous, bringing immediate joy. Upon closer inspection, each room has its unique design and decoration, with thoughtful details creating endless warmth.
The most wonderful part of the room is being able to curl up in a rocking chair and enjoy the panoramic view of Tongji Lake, or lie in bed and watch the sunrise and sunset, or soak in the bathtub and bask in the sunshine. Listening to music, taking a bath, enjoying an unparalleled view of the lake, if the one you love is by your side and the most beautiful scenery is right in front of you, surely all your troubles will disappear?
This is a place where you can feel the owner’s attention to detail. The owner of the B&B spent over a decade doing business in Dubai and has implemented Dubai’s management philosophy, starting with every detail. Therefore, all the toiletries here are of world-class quality, from L’Occitane, the towels are made of Pakistani cotton, the bathroom fixtures are from German brands, and even the tissues are purchased from foreign brands.
In addition to delicate refreshments, Yijing offers fresh lake seafood almost every day, and specialty dishes like roast whole lamb, copper pot rice, etc., have also attracted many people. At night, the housekeeper will light candles on the hot spring pool on the terrace, the lights and candles meet in the houses and terrace, accompanied by the bright moon in the sky, creating a dreamy atmosphere that is intoxicating.
I don’t know why, but Yijing always has an ethereal quality in my eyes, like a transcendent immortal, riding the clouds and mist from afar, ignoring the world, simply living in seclusion in this ethereal fairyland. There is no magnificence, no jewels and precious stones, only the purest air in nature.
Beautiful scenery within reach, combined with an atmospheric, quiet American country style, who wouldn’t be moved?
