In recent years, Zhouzhuang Water Village has been widely known, holidays, occasion, the Quartet tourists flocked to Texas, one time, rivers and lakes are overcrowded, newspapers, Zhouzhuang this jokingly as "congee village." Rivers and lakes of the Sau Nga bridge crowded with tourists even. I really discourage some, over and over again to people who usually have a lot of visitors to Zhouzhuang. Are hesitant occasion, all of a sudden I hear someone casually say, Zhouzhuang, Tongli town nearby there are some other scenes, it is worth a visit. Arrived in Shanghai after the second-order scales than the shops, flashing neon lights, noisy crowds, and the customs of the city overflowing everywhere, gas, even more so that I aspire to the same town where history and culture, what she look like? In order to interpret her as soon as possible, November 24 morning, I would ride to rush to Tongli.
Water Village Tongli town is located in Taihu Lake, Grand Canal. She is about 80 kilometers away from Shanghai. 2 hours from Shanghai by car can be arrived at. Jiangsu Wujiang Tongli under the jurisdiction of a population amounting to approximately 7,000 people. Zhao Puchu through the inscription "Chinese historical and cultural town - with the inside" and decorated archway, he officially entered the town with the Village. With the Village township surrounded by five lakes, the town's more than a dozen rivers divided into townships. The intelligent and hard-working with the ingenious use of four Li Ren Shi Yuzuo to build a stone bridge of varying series will be split up neighborhoods. A small bridge, flowing water, stone steps Plate Road, and the well-preserved old house styles typical of the Yangtze River Delta constitute the landscape. Tongli ancient town has a long history, the current open mainly built in Ming and Qing fu JIA were playing mansion gardens. The most representative is the relegation of Anhui military taotai REN Lan health-built "Retreat Garden" and "2 Bridge."
Retreat Park Jian Yuqing dynasty years, and its meaning for the retreat was thinking too. But the garden's owner, Anhui military taotai (equivalent to a modern detachment commander) but extravagant, will occupy only nine acres of garden built patchwork, Journey Into Amazing Caves. Civic Park, almost the entire back garden contains the entire contents of Jiangnan, Pavilion, Taiwan, House, Pavilion, Chinese Room, Hall, Hall, Gallery, Square, Xuan readily available, and the discount is built. Compact layout of the park, convergence and reasonable nature, there is no unexpected extra feeling. Fully reflects the designers and the garden's imaginative and extraordinary aesthetic mood. Retreat Church outside the clever construction of a Han Chuan, next to the two-story pavilion is surrounded by complement each other. A very Han Chuan, through a round arch, is "thinking back garden" of the exquisite gardens. This design gives us the feeling as if Gangchuhanchuan, will enter the green rivers and lakes, in particular, reflects the long-term aspirations in rivers and lakes outside the military taotai feelings of homesickness. Yihong clean water flows which, stocking goldfish in which the freedom of cruising. Taihu rocks embellishment which makes the whole garden become more beautiful, graceful.
Just a little pity, "Retreat Garden" outside covered with a three-story stone building, from a certain extent, undermining the overall layout. If the township be considered, removal of this stone floor, "Retreat Garden" will be more beautiful.
Town Center, located in the famous "2 Bridge." Chongben Church, Church of Jiayin the river from the look, style, very different. Worship of the Church of the exquisite carvings, Lou-tang design and the various organs of design complexity, hidden in a narrow passage which do not have moods. Channel dotted with dark red lanterns, symbolizing the owner's dignity and mystery. And the mysterious worship of the Church contrast, river opposite the magnificent Hall of Jiayin, extraordinary style. Standing in an open two-story pavilion overlooks put head, Simple and elegant, small and exquisite Changqing, Taiping, Geely Bridge leap into the eyes. Is located in the same town where the axis of Bridge will be separated from the river to connect neighborhoods, its imaginative design has become a symbol of the same inside. Mortals every happy event, will take the Bridge in an attempt to auspicious and peaceful.
In the ancient buildings, small bridges under the influence of running water, with the tranquil life of Li Ren, peaceful. Men are often sitting together, chatting, the woman who labors in the pond, the river side of the cook and clean. Tongli Town advocating culture everywhere reading red scarf, rare business school to help adult children. Town has retained the first "Reading Bridge", it shows that deep cultural heritage with the inside.
If in the light rain started falling among the pedal clogs walking on heart strings get to listen to wood and stone steps of the striking response, it is what kind of mood do? If possible, I must walk in the rain, in the same town where to enjoy the kind of quiet, beautiful life.
