昨日，参加“海外华文媒体看江苏”活动的我们，从历史厚重的徐州启程，驱车南下，抵达了素有“江南明珠”美誉的常州溧阳。在这片山水之间，探寻中国乡村振兴的微观样本。从网红“1号公路”到文娱一体的“溧阳鹅村”，这一路的见闻，让我们看到了中国新农村建设务实而生动的一面。
彩虹之路中品味慢生活
我们的首站便是闻名遐迩的“溧阳1号公路”。车窗外，连绵起伏的白茶园顺着丘陵地势梯次铺展，眼下正值花期，道路两旁开满了叫不上名字的金黄色花朵，与蜿蜒的黑色路面、红黄蓝三色标线构成了强烈的视觉反差，宛如一幅天然的油画。
这条公路并没有被喧嚣的商业摊位占据，反而显得格外宁静与秩序井然。主办方特意安排我们在路旁的精品咖啡屋稍作休憩。坐在咖啡厅外，品着当地人精心制作的水果茶与现磨咖啡，看着满眼翠绿的树木和五颜六色的花朵，一种“身在乡村，享在城市”的惬意感油然而生。这种将高端服务业态植入原始生态的手法，正是溧阳“生态创新”的生动体现。
鹅村实录：艺术赋能与书香田园
离开公路，我们深入探访了溧阳鹅村。这里并未刻意营造童话氛围，而是通过大型鹅主题雕塑和艺术墙绘，将乡村环境装点得颇具现代艺术气息。这种接地气的艺术改造，让村庄显得既活泼又不失乡土本色。
在村史馆，我们详细听取了关于村庄从落后到富裕的转型介绍。随后，我们走进了村里的图书馆。在这个看似不起眼的村落里，竟藏着一个设计现代、藏书丰富的公共文化空间，这让我们看到了中国新农村对“软实力”建设的重视。
最令人印象深刻的，是我们在村里的休闲区品尝了刚从田间采摘下来的黄瓜、西红柿和甜瓜。这些没有任何华丽包装的农产品，却有着最纯正的清甜口感。这种“看得见山、望得见水、记得住乡愁”的田园生活，让来自海外的媒体人也感到由衷的放松与欣赏。
一天的行程虽短，但信息量巨大。从1号公路的“快行慢享”，到鹅村的“艺术范儿”与“烟火气”，溧阳用实际行动证明：中国的乡村正在走出一条兼顾生态、产业与文化的务实发展之路。
A Nordic Perspective on Liyang,Jiangsu:
A Rainbow Highway and the Revitalization Story of a“Goose Village”
By Nordic Chinese Times/Zhao Juan from Liyang,Jiangsu
Yesterday,as part of the“Overseas Chinese-Language Media Visit to Jiangsu”program,our delegation departed from the historic city of Xuzhou and journeyed south to,a place often praised as the“Pearl of Southern Jiangsu.”Amid its lush mountains and waters,we explored a vivid microcosm of China’s rural revitalization efforts.From the internet-famous“No.1Highway”to the culturally creative“Liyang Goose Village,”the trip offered a practical and lively glimpse into the transformation of China’s new countryside.
Savoring Slow Life Along the Rainbow Road
Our first stop was the renowned“Liyang No.1Highway.”Outside the car windows,rolling white tea plantations stretched gracefully across the hillsides.With spring blossoms now in full bloom,the roadside was dotted with golden wildflowers whose names we could hardly identify.Together with the winding black asphalt and the highway’s striking red,yellow,and blue lane markings,the scenery resembled a natural oil painting.
What stood out most was the absence of noisy commercial stalls.Instead,the road maintained a sense of tranquility and order.The organizers arranged for us to pause at a boutique roadside café.Sitting outdoors,sipping locally made fruit tea and freshly brewed coffee while surrounded by emerald-green trees and colorful blossoms,we experienced a unique sense of comfort—“living in the countryside while enjoying the refinement of the city.”This seamless integration of high-end lifestyle services into an untouched ecological environment is a vivid example of Liyang’s approach to“ecological innovation.”
Goose Village:Where Art Meets Rural Life
Leaving the highway behind,we continued deeper into.Rather than creating an overly stylized fairytale setting,the village has embraced large goose-themed sculptures and artistic murals to enrich the rural landscape with a modern creative touch.This grounded form of artistic transformation gives the village an atmosphere that feels both lively and authentically rustic.
Inside the village history museum,we listened carefully to the story of how the community transformed itself from a once underdeveloped rural settlement into a prosperous modern village.Later,we visited the local library.Hidden within what appears to be an ordinary countryside village is a beautifully designed public cultural space filled with an impressive collection of books—a reflection of how China’s new rural development increasingly values cultural“soft power.”
Perhaps the most memorable moment came in the village leisure area,where we tasted freshly picked cucumbers,tomatoes,and melons straight from nearby fields.These farm products came without elaborate packaging,yet their natural sweetness and freshness spoke for themselves.This idyllic lifestyle—“where one can see the mountains,gaze upon the waters,and remember the nostalgia of home”—offered even overseas journalists a genuine sense of relaxation and admiration.
Though the visit lasted only one day,the experience was remarkably rich.From the“fast travel,slow enjoyment”philosophy of the No.1Highway to the artistic charm and everyday warmth of Goose Village,Liyang demonstrated through practical action that China’s countryside is forging a new path—one that balances ecology,industry,and culture in a grounded and sustainable way.
