Travel notes of Laomendong:
The history of "the ancient capital of six dynasties and the metropolis of ten dynasties" has left many places of interest and cultural landscapes for Nanjing. During my three years in Nanjing, I have visited almost all the scenic spots here, but I have never forgotten the old doorway.
A few months after leaving the city, out of concern for my family, I once again set foot on the train back to Ning. In this leisurely time, I certainly want to take my family to visit my old door.
Through the towering wall of Zhonghua Gate, you can see the historical and cultural block of Laomendong, which was only repaired in recent years. I like it here because it is full of romantic and fresh breath, and also because of the famous traditional snacks in Nanjing hidden in deep alleys.
Walking in the main block, the first thing you see is a candy store "tofu flower" from Taipei. Every time I go, I can see that the store is full of diners who taste desserts, but I am not interested in sweet tofu.
Walking into the alley, "Four Seasons Tofu Brain" is my favorite. I remember when I first ate it two years ago, I fell in love with the delicious and tender taste at first sight, which is unforgettable so far.
Every day, there are many people waiting in long lines to eat baked sesame cakes. This sesame seed cake is an old brand in Nanjing. The sesame seeds with various fillings are crispy and delicious, but this time it seems to be decorating the sesame seed cake, and finally the long queue is gone.
"Blue Boss Sugar Porridge" For me who loves sweets, every time I walk to the door of Blue Boss's house, I want to try all the sweets in their house, such as sugar taro seedlings, sugar lotus root porridge and red bean dumplings. .....
But because I promised my brother to take him to a buffet this time, I only ate a bowl of sugar taro seedlings to satisfy my hunger. Next door to Lan Laoda are "Jiangguotie" and "Chicken Soup Bao", which are more famous snacks in Nanjing. Two years ago, my friends and I had a big meal when we visited the East Gate. Duck blood vermicelli with soup packets has become a standard for people living in Nanjing. We added pot stickers and it became a super match.
At the corner of the hutong is the "Huang" bean jelly shop, which is the best bean jelly shop I have ever eaten. None of them like the smooth taste of his bean jelly. I still drool when I think about it now.
I also deliberately turned into another alley, just to see the "Ji Shen stinky tofu" that my friend Amway gave me before. There is a long queue every day, which is said to be delicious. Because dinner is about to start, I just look at stinky tofu and taste its delicious taste with my mind.
Walking in the alley, I found a lot of milk tea, snacks and dessert shops. I hope that the Nanjing specialty snacks of Laomendong will not be swallowed up by these popular snacks everywhere.
It is suitable to take a camera when visiting Laomendong, because you can take some photos of literature and art in a piece of rubble or any corner, mottled wall tiles, winding Hua Teng and literary storefronts can all be the background of your concave shape. If you want a little affection, you can go to Deyun Society to listen to a cross talk, where there are two cross talk performances every weekend.
"What a Jasmine" is a shop not far from Deyun Society. There is a boat in front of the shop, and occasionally children play in it. According to legend, this store also has a romantic story of foreign love. French photographer Martin and China Jiangsu girl Ding Moxiang met in Jasmine Garden, but two people with different backgrounds have a common yearning for Jasmine buds. Later, when her boyfriend returned to China, the girl shared their precious jasmine cake with the world in order to continue their love, so she had this shop.
Every dessert here smells of jasmine. The strange name "Waku" is teahouse, which can also be used for dining. The quiet environment here is suitable for sitting alone in rainy days, with a pot of green tea and three or two snacks to isolate the troubles of the world and watch the drizzle outside the window. Opposite Waku is the "Flower Trace Hotel", a place surrounded by flowers.
On the edge of the ancient city wall, this homestay is located in a deep alley, with red brick and white walls, corrugated walls with moss and green shoots in the cracks, like traces of time. "Transition" is an art place with a simple style in front of the door. There are many paintings on display. Because of the lack of artistic cells, they are afraid of desecrating these works of art, so they always stop at the door.
As the cultural card of Nanjing, "pioneer bookstore" is known as the most beautiful bookstore in China and has always been a place for young people to punch in. Laomendong branch still maintains the avant-garde literary atmosphere. The unique atrium courtyard of the bookstore allows the sun to shine into the bookstore and read a favorite book in sunny weather. This charm should be fantastic.
Laomendong is such a place where "food is on the left and affection is on the right". Especially suitable for slow life, take time to let our body and mind take a nap and spend a day looking for inner peace.
