Alley in the Xitang everywhere, stone skin Lane is the most famous one, narrow places can only one person passed, when really Yifu Guan, Wan Fu Mo open. Dilapidated old house covered with moss, in a number of historic houses on top of nearly foot long tile grass, reportedly is the former residence depends on the owner of the souls attached to these grass so that they grow so lush, Youhu with Furuya's calm and a long length, but also Youhu the town's prosperity and harmony. In the old house high on the walls neatly lined with diamond-shaped piece of iron, which is probably the framework of the structure housing it?
Came to the West Street is located in a small house north of the SIT, which in accordance with river frontage, the entire house of brick-wood structure Xue, before and after 2 dam. Before the dam along the street, a total of four bays a shape, the East 3, West 1. East is now open for the three doors on each side about the supply of tourist souvenirs and antiques of the counter. Wei Ren-shaped roof roof, but lower than the general population is much more to Shuang Gao. Upstairs floor is not very good, Louchuang and normally. However, it is that the entire West Town residential building in this period is still very prominent. After the dam is the main hall, around a small courtyard between Tai, patio doors before there are walls, which seems to mimic the traditional structures. The courtyard is small, leaving a narrow narrow left and right sides of the wing, as the corridor in general. Rooms have a long-glass windows, you can see the courtyard. The installation of glass, light and bright than the traditional houses more. Main hall is also a three-bay, the ground is paved with squares are, the middle pillar, the door blocking the latter part of a long, Kuaguomenkan aside a half, leading to the River. Right is a staircase, the kitchen, compact structure. Hatchback attached around the main hall, like two tiger feet. Xue house building has three main features. The first is shallow, look down from above and saw the house back to shape, there is a small courtyard, in addition to all connected into one, no dam at all, from the street into the river only 30 meters. The second is simple, there is no accompanying alley, all from the main entrance and out, only when two Denglou stairs. In addition, the entire building is not fancy decorative detail. The third is light, an anti-traditional in the dark as dark can be hidden financial practices, in all the windows were accompanied by a glass. Glass windows decorated with flower-shaped section on the grid, seem very pleasure to the eye.
We boarded the vessel at the Xue house, from the water to enjoy Xitang, dirty water, the above afloat oil, aquatic plants, garbage. Residents on both sides of rinsing the clothes in the river, varying in different periods of the historic houses are arranged on both sides of the ship a little cooler than on shore, the boatmen skillfully shaking scull, half an hour later, we went on shore.
The hot weather, pressing in our air-conditioned rooms, we try a stiff cake and champion of the eight treasures rice cake, chatting or playing cards, until night fell, because it is low season, not many tourists, evening, setting sun shines, the fish boat ± a ± a, arch, housing and reflection in the water, attracted many photographers.
We left the Xitang, newly developed Xitang in tourism is also some lack, but the integrity of the ancient architectural style preserved the hope that she will not change with changing times, how much, after all, she is history and the past. I love where the honest folk customs, and I love where the quiet environment. Where the small bridge, flowing water, people ... ..., how perfect!
