"Ten miles long and ten miles long, wheat seedlings are green, cauliflower is yellow, green trees and tender tea are full of hills......" A Lujiang folk song "Ten Miles Long Chong Good Scenery" sings the beautiful scenery of Changchong Village, Wanshan Town, Lujiang County. The mountains are green, the tea fields are green, the cute pets are playing, and the light and shadow are flowing.

Recently, the reporter walked into the tea garden of Changchong Village, and the fresh fragrance of tea came to his nose. Rows of tea trees are neatly arranged, and the tender green tea buds shimmer in the sunlight. Tea pickers wearing hats shuttle through the process, and the fresh tea buds fall into the bamboo basket as their fingertips fly.

"The tea buds before Qingming are the most fresh, and they should be lifted lightly when picking, so as not to hurt the tip of the leaves." Sister Wang, a tea farmer, smiled and demonstrated tea picking skills to tourists, her palms were rough due to perennial labor, but she was particularly gentle when touching tea buds, "I have been growing tea for more than 20 years, and now tourists are here, not only can they buy tea, but also experience our tea culture." ”

Descending along the tea garden trail, the laughter of children can be heard at the end of the wooden plank road, and the "cat shopkeepers" of Meow Valley are lying on the fence basking in the sun to welcome the arrival of tourists. "Mom, look, this Ragdoll has fur like marshmallows!" A child squatted on the ground and carefully reached out to pet the cat as he spoke. According to the person in charge of Meow Valley, this is a park with the theme of "cute pet + healing", 2024 single buildings built by the mountains and different forms are connected by the pedestrian plank road, and since its opening in 0 years, it has become a popular destination for parent-child travel in the Yangtze River Delta.

As twilight falls, the lights of Wanshan Movie Park come on one after another. This cinema hidden in the mountains and wilderness of Shili Changchong is the first art cinema in China to combine rural revitalization, and it is also the first cinema in China to synchronize the cinema chain in the rural scenic area. In the audience, Ms. Li, a tourist who had just finished the tea picking experience, sighed: "Smelling the fragrance of tea in the tea garden during the day, and watching tea culture documentaries in the theater at night, this kind of 'immersive' rural tour is so special." Chen Xiaxia, the person in charge of the cinema, said that since the official opening of the cinema, it has not only become a "cultural living room" for the villagers, but also a unique check-in point for tourists to experience "landscape + light and shadow", "On weekends, tourists often go to the tea garden for a walk after watching the movie, saying that this is a 'realistic version of the movie scene'." ”

From the tea garden full of tea fragrance to the cute meow valley to the cinema where light and shadow flow, in recent years, Lujiang County has fully tapped the tourism potential of Shili Changchong, deeply integrated natural landscape, cultural experience and leisure and entertainment, and made every effort to create a new landmark of rural tourism.
