Suzhou is not, there was two thousand years of history. Map of the city in terms of the pattern of vertical and horizontal surface has been preserved, I took my skeptical mind to visit this old city.
Out of the hotel, is already dusk. Although the work hours of the city, but he is not noisy. Many people, clothing is not modern, the sound is not high, not wide, slowly walked the streets. Feels like Beijing's Second Ring Road of Suzhou, the bungalows have become obsolete because of history. Watercourse was still there, but the dirty, as if to Retention and Retention. People living in the waterside do not seem to love water, they brush shoes dirty water on the river so casually thrown inside. River seems to be the natural drainage channel.
The people living in the river did not seem satisfied with their lives that they live in the tower out of life. If you have the opportunity to move out of here, they would be happy. If the people here do not like here, the river, it should he do? So they filled the strike, why should what order to maintain a reputation for being wronged ourselves. At that time people will be living in the same tower, living like modern life, people talk about Suzhou, in addition to the only remaining several gardens, only to remain in books and memories of the shadow of the old city.
Reminded of the old city of Paris, the old house, well kept, in which people live without paying rent, but need to spend a lot of money to maintain. In Beijing, some people have proposed to restore the old courtyard of the single-family, into a villa, a pity that such a proposal due to the reasons for the money to pay the high tower. Perhaps a poor country is not qualified to talk about the overall protection of the old city, or to maintain the current status quo because it claims it aging damage, or all of the abandoned land in the new style replica similar new homes. While some of the same kind of pollution first and then words of the emotive way of governance, this is indeed a growing number of reality, a good can retain some of the old style, and some will simply disappears. Ancient and modern, and could not find a space can co-exist?
Friends see the frustration on my comfort me: In fact, put it bluntly, is that travel adventures, that is, want to see something not previously seen and things, so do not have to report this too much to expect that the world is able to see Xanadu. Is not it? I once shocked a. Tourism is Searching? No, in my opinion, tourism should be dreams, like to enjoy a concert, to the site to listen to those already familiar with real melodies, because only in the field, only music was difficult to reproduce the shock. Tourism not only with the eyes and heart even more applications. I do not want to do Bazhuo windows inward-looking tourists, tourism, should be a part of life experience.
Then go to the same bar where there is said to be the few remaining legendary rivers and lakes to retain the original small town way of life.
A time when public holidays, less than one square kilometer in the same town as the streets were full of tourists. In all fairness, the same where better to retain the traditional pattern of several hundred years, water is still clean. Walking in the general neglect of the guxiang visitors, I accidentally heard emanating from a residential voice of silk string, which is an old town in pulling the old melodies, long period of song sound in the deserted alley in the reverberate. Lane is said to have nearly the same submerged in the wave of modernization, but fortunately the local people from the avalanche of film and television photography team found that maintaining the characteristics of rivers and lakes can give them non-inferior to the interests of industrial development, so he chose to maintaining the status quo policy. With the Village became the ocean in the island, because is an island, so there exists a value, in other words, tourism may be better to make the same where the only reason to save. And modernization of Beijing and it was actually the only remaining former residence of several celebrities truth is the same, but the larger point Bale House.
Rivers and lakes represent the era is gone, such as with the street where you can buy the same number and the world of food. Retreat garden, Xi Ren was gone, and it embodies the choice of birth and the Masquerade are submerged in the surging crowds in the tour. Back to the books than to go back to reveries Lane. Tourism, but one of these reveries just commentary.
Let the past become the past, so that rivers and lakes to stay in a dream.
