When I first heard this name, I was thinking about what kind of place it should be, so attractive that I couldn't help but be curious about it and want to see its face.
On the morning of the rest day, I rode my bike through the noisy street and went to the traffic lights of Yanhe River to continue northward. A wide asphalt road runs through the village. The houses in the village are very tidy. Some villagers sat by the roadside chatting, and plants were planted on the ground in front of the door.
I like to go to the suburbs alone, looking for that moment of peace, quietly listening to songs, quietly watching the scenery, quietly staring blankly, quietly intoxicated, and enjoying the happiness given to me by nature.
Unconsciously, I came here again. In a good mood, there are scenery everywhere, and the small trees on the roadside are so fresh, lovely and healing.
Dongmaocha, a natural village below Honghe Village, Shangbaizuo Township, Jiaozuo City, is located in the mountains about 5 kilometers north of yanhe village traffic lights on Film Avenue.
Seeing the street sign of Maocha Folk Village turn left, a pungent smell unique to the countryside came to my face. Although it smells bad, it has an inexplicable intimacy and a long-lost hometown flavor.
It took half an hour to walk in just 2 kilometers, and the scenery along the road was really beautiful. There are bright wildflowers, green grass and occasionally a few erect green trees, especially the golden wheat fields in the valley, which makes me want to go several times, but I can't stop.
After entering the village, everything in front of me completely subverted my imagination. The abandoned village, which was thought to have only a few families, is not only inhabited, but also has such attractive scenery.
I rode slowly along the village of Zhonghaoer. When I want to see the scenery at close range, I don't like the restriction of trams on my freedom, so I park it on the side of the road and walk alone.
Just a few steps later, I met four donkey friends, two men and two women They just wander around like me. They originally wanted to go to the narrow gate from Dongmaocha. When they reached the village head and asked the villagers that there was no way to go, they had to turn back.
Everyone has an idyllic dream, and the stone kingdom is the best interpretation of Dongmao tea. The most striking feature of the village is stone. There are stone houses, stone roads, stone benches, stone ladders and so on everywhere.
Most of the houses in the village are built according to the mountain. They walk casually, without a consistent direction, as if there is no road, but there are roads everywhere. Walking inside is like a maze, and it's hard to get out.
Without the tram, I walked, strolled and patted at will, and came to those abandoned houses with weeds in their yards. Although I was curious, I was afraid to get close, so I had to take a picture from a distance and leave in a hurry.
Hearing voices in the distance, I followed them to the hostess's door. My aunt is very hospitable and talkative, and she took me to her home as a guest.
Her family still lives in a cave, which was left by her ancestors. There are three holes, one for people, one for kitchen and one for sundries.
There are two courtyards outside. Go out and turn right to the house on the right of the grape trellis. It's well preserved and beautiful! With menstruation's permission, I took a picture of her.
In the yard where the grape trellis turned left, a roof collapsed. I asked about the repair. My aunt said that the government was not allowed to build or rebuild houses on the existing homestead privately, saying that it was going to turn this place into a folk village.
It suddenly dawned on me that I suddenly understood the meaning of the signpost Maocha Folk Village I saw when I came.
Aunt also introduced me to her baby, and I could hear that she was very happy and married a good husband with ingenuity. She also showed me the stone benches and wooden benches (wooden benches with roots) he made.
I really envy those people who live in their hometown and have houses in the city. They can not only enjoy the bustling life in the city, but also experience the fun in the countryside, such as my aunt's children.
It is close to the city, but few people know that it is so attractive to people living in the city. It is quieter and less noisy than the city. More primitive, less prosperous.
It's almost noon. If I hadn't hurried back, I really wanted to stay here, just find a place and sit there quietly in a daze.
If you like nature and stone buildings as much as I do, come here and enjoy a moment of peace.
