Savoring tea and listening to music in a century-old teahouse in Shanghai, leisurely passing the days and months

Yuyuan Lake Heart Pavilion Teahouse is the oldest existing teahouse in Shanghai, built during the Qianlong period and officially converted into a teahouse in the fifth year of Xianfeng. The wind of time passes through the building, and it stands alone, witnessing the vicissitudes of the world. The Lake Heart Pavilion Teahouse is a wooden structure without a single nail. The joints of the wood are all riveted with bamboo wedges. The calligrapher Mr. Jiang Fengyi's plaque with the three characters 'Lake Heart Pavilion' hangs high above the entrance of the teahouse, and the 'Number One Teahouse on the Sea' banner flutters in the wind on the eaves. Stepping into the teahouse, the calligrapher Mr. Gao Shixiong's 'Number One Teahouse on the Sea' is simple and elegant. Order a pot of hot tea and a few plates of dim sum. Countless ups and downs of fate, sadness or joy, all transform with time into a wisp of cloud on the flying eaves, dissipating into the breeze, leaving no trace. Only I, gazing out of the window, and the crowd on the Nine-Turn Bridge are frozen in this moment as scenery in each other's memories.
