A few days ago, I watched the video and saw a question: Which is the only city in China named after fruits?
There are various answers below, some say cantaloupe, some say Turpan grapes, and some say Dangshan pear...... Friends, the pattern is small!
These are at most a specialty, and they can't compare with the names of cities that people are serious about.
Don't sell Guanzi, today I will take you to see this magical city - "Zaozhuang" in Linyi, Shandong, the only city named after fruit in the country, there is no one!
To be honest, the first time I heard this name, I thought it was a village rich in jujubes, full of local flavor.
As a result, good guys, they are a serious prefecture-level city, and they have a long history, profound heritage, and many celebrities.
If you want to say this Zaozhuang, it was not called this name, its previous name was domineering-Lanling.
Do you feel the weight of history when you listen to it?
Back then, Lanling was a well-known name.
Have you heard of "Lanling King's Entrance Song"?
Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng knows, right?
Which is not thunderous?
This land has given birth to countless legends.
It's a pity that later, due to various reasons, Lanling was changed several times, and finally changed to the current Zaozhuang.
Don't say it, although it lacks a bit of history, the name "Zaozhuang" sounds sweet, very down-to-earth, and especially in line with local characteristics.
After all, this place is a real "Zaozhuang".
It is said that the history of growing jujube here can be traced back to 8,000 years ago, and there are dozens of varieties.
What is Golden Silk No. 4, Moonlight Jujube, Winter Jujube...... Anyway, you can think of almost all the dates you can think of here.
Every autumn, it is the season when the jujube is ripe, walking in the streets and alleys of Zaozhuang, you can smell the sweet jujube fragrance in the air, which is called a temptation!
Imagine sitting in an antique courtyard, tasting freshly picked dates, soft and sweet, full of juice, and paired with a pot of fragrant date nectar, the taste is simply amazing!
Of course, when you come to Zaozhuang, it's not enough to eat dates.
As a tourist city, Zaozhuang has too many interesting places.
If you like history, you can go to Hug the Calf to have a look.
This mountain is a battleground for ancient soldiers, and there are still many ancient ruins, standing on the top of the mountain, it seems that you can still feel the scene of the golden iron horse in the past.
There is a thousand-year-old temple on the mountain - Baoqinggu Temple, the incense is vigorous, and it is said to be very effective.
Climb up the mountain path, listen to the temple bells, breathe in the fresh air, and feel the whole person purified.
Friends who like natural scenery, Taierzhuang Ancient City must not be missed.
This ancient city is built along the river, the scenery is beautiful, the antique is quaint, and it is also a famous battlefield during World War II, and the historical significance is extraordinary.
Boating on the river of the ancient city, looking at the ancient buildings on both sides, it seems to have traveled back to that war-torn era.
There are also various special snacks in the ancient city, such as stinky tofu, tofu brain, and grilled skewers...... Guaranteed to make you eat all-you-can-eat!
If you are interested in the history of World War II, you can also go to the Taierzhuang Great War Memorial Hall, which records the tragic battle in detail, so that people can remember history and cherish peace.
When you are tired of shopping, you can also try the local specialties, such as spicy chicken, mutton soup, and vegetable pancakes...... Guaranteed to delight your palate.
Personally, I recommend Zaozhuang spicy chicken, this dish is a local must, the chicken is tender, spicy and enjoyable, with the steamed buns just out of the pot, the taste is simply irresistible!
By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that the traffic in Zaozhuang is also very convenient, high-speed rail, airplanes, get off the high-speed rail and take a taxi, and you will soon be able to reach the city.
