The return to Dayan happened on August 1st, this time for the Ningbo Focus Water Festival with On the Way Tours and 102.9 FM. Over a hundred people came out to the event, filling two buses that made their way from Lao Waitan at 7:30 AM, off into blue skies and a shining sun.

Our first stop was Jianling Village for water rafting. The road to the river was perilous and slow, but the view was fantastic. Trees covered the sides of the road, and farmers, cows and ducks made their way along the creeks below. Upon arriving, everyone was excited to get in the water and get soaked. There were twists and turns along the narrow path of running water, making it like a fun waterslide.

After the rafting the buses hit the road again, twisting and turning further up into the mountains until we arrived at a restaurant in Zaishuiyifang for lunch. Being high up in the mountains to enjoy a feast of local delicacies was quite a treat, made with natural and fresh ingredients.

Following lunch we made our way to the next activity: the water fight! Coming up to a decent sized river-like area, everyone got on a bridge and, water buckets in hand, proceeded to splash and soak one-another. By the time the war was finished, everyone was soaking wet, cool and smiling.

The fun didn’t stop there, as next up was a tug-of-war on water! With both teams standing on flat long rafts, they pulled with all their might to see who could get the rope quicker and who would fall in the water. It didn’t matter who won or lost because everyone was happy in the end. The rest of the day was free with all sorts of activities to enjoy. The weather was crisp and the soothing breeze helped with the heat. As a destination from which to escape the city, Dayan is a great choice.

Time flies when you’re having fun, and soon it was time to return to the humid sauna that was Ningbo. On the road back, people rested, sharing photos of the day on WeChat and talking on and on, though in silence, about the fun they had at Fenghua Dayan.

8月1日，宁波聚焦和奉化大堰一路上乡村旅游经营有限公司合作，组织了一场欢乐的嬉水节活动。宁波聚焦召集了百余名中外人士，前往奉化大堰参加嬉水节。

满载着欢乐人群的两辆大巴车8月1日早上7点半准时从老外滩出发。一路之上，阳光晴好，天空蔚蓝，人们的脸上挂着憧憬的笑容，空气中也跳跃着快乐的味道。

按照预定行程前往大泉坑漂流的路上，一路山路十八弯，路虽艰险，沿途却是数不胜收的美景。山路旁，绿树掩映，不时能看见早耕归家的农民，有老牛悠闲咀嚼着嫩草，有鸭群嬉水的小溪，绿水淙淙，清澈见底。

到了预定地点，鱼贯而下的众人，急匆匆换好衣服存好包，兴致勃勃的开始体验被誉为“奉化第一漂”的大泉坑漂流。溪道曲折、落差巨大、水流清澈，外籍朋友们被奔腾的嬉水裹挟着，沿着曲折的溪道瞬忽而下，留下一路尖叫欢笑之声。尽管烈日炎炎，但山水交融、空气清新的漂流场地，依然让参与漂流的朋友们意犹未尽，大呼过瘾。

漂流完毕，不觉已是中午。重新上路，沿着秀美的山道飞驰，不一会便到了午餐地点“在水一方”农庄。农庄古朴优美的环境，让外籍朋友们不顾炎热，纷纷拿出手机开始合影。在青山绿水里用餐，风味地道、食材新鲜的菜肴，赢得了一片赞赏。

稍事休憩，工作人员便组织人员重新上车，到下午活动的主场地。

在廊桥上，远远看见一汪碧水，人们再也抑制不住自己嬉水的热情，拿着刚刚分发到手的水枪，兴匆匆打起了水仗。大堰的溪水清凉，水花里，每个人脸上都洋溢着开心的笑容。

在欢声笑语和水花四溅里，水上拔河比赛开始了。此时，胜负已经不在重要，快乐，才是彼此最珍贵的东西。坐在岸边，双脚放进清凉的溪水轻轻划动，偶有小鱼游过，轻啄脚底，看着远处竹筏上欢乐水仗的人群，笑容不知不觉挂在脸上，这种让人放松的愉悦，让人仿佛回到儿时。在这样清凉的山水中嬉戏，灼热的太阳也不像城市中那样让人难以忍受，不时还有宜人的微风吹过，远离城市去避暑，大堰真是一个不错的选择。

拔河、百米皮划艇竞速、游泳、各种打水仗……大堰的上空，回响着的，是快乐与愉悦。欢乐的时光总是飞逝而过，不觉已是到了踏上归程的时候。尽管一天游玩的疲惫袭来，但笑容依然占据着人们的脸庞。在活动的微信群里，人们互相分享着照片，诉说着彼此的欢乐感受，向忙碌了一天的工作人员表示着感谢……这一切，都让人觉得十分美好。
