在湘乡我发现了一座“童话之境”的江心岛，茅草棚、吊脚楼，初见以为误入江南水乡。它就是——东山岛“茅浒水乡”。
这里不需要门票，是一个开放的休闲度假区。走进小岛，迎接你的是“威靖”号仿舰。据说这艘船是根据当年曾国藩的爱船，按照1:1的比例仿制而成。站在船上，还能俯瞰整个岛屿。
秋天来在这里露营、烧烤、游船，十分惬意。特别是在晨光下的湘军桥，倒映在涟水里，如同晕染的山水画，呈现出“一折青山一扇屏，一湾碧水一条琴”的景致，把茅浒水乡勾勒成“梦里江南”。（来源：三湘都市报）
In Xiangxiang I found a “fairy tale realm” of the river island, thatched huts, footstools, the first time I saw that I thought I had mistakenly entered the Jiangnan water town. This is the “Maohu Water Village” on Dongshan Island.
There is no entrance fee and it is an open recreational resort. Walking into the island, you are greeted by a replica of the Weijin. The ship is said to be a 1:1 replica of Zeng Guofan's favorite ship from back in the day. Standing on the boat, it also overlooks the entire island.
It is very pleasant to come here in the fall for camping, barbecuing, and boat trips. Especially in the morning light of the Xiangjun Bridge, reflected in the Lianshui, as stained landscape paintings, showing “a folding of the green mountains and a screen, a bay of blue water and aguqin,” the scenery, the Maohu water township sketched into the “dream of Jiangnan”.（翻译：万姗姗）
