Question in mind: If you are a people who love to travel, and now Who says that since you mentioned Jiangnan Water Village Zhouzhuang, you're not quite out, is a guide only likes to follow pseudo-spin tourists. Zhouzhuang is no longer a natural啦, you want to have to go to Xitang, Wuzhen, Nanxun. - Of course, these places man up slowly, so go early as possible.
Xitang - Mild and quiet to Xitang was already 22:00. Taxi to open the entrance to the town, I was thrown in there, Heidengxiahuo, apart from standing in the streets of a big tourist map, I would not see this Xitang What's the difference with the other town. Easily found a hotel stay there the next day opened my eyes when I opened the window, looked out and saw the bustling modern and some of the new building is obviously antique pavilion - it's disappoint me.
By hotelier's instructions, I am through the hotel next to an alley, this alley is the antique port of the new building, but it went in, I can see both sides of the building is the old old. Through the alley, I only know what town, like a sudden came to the Ming and Qing era: the narrow stone street, old buildings, row upon row of shops on both sides, each shop is hung with a red edge inlay yellow cloth signs, it seems You Niantou of the plaque and red lanterns; street bosses smiling, their addition to selling zongzi Fen Zhengrou sell in addition to a number of blue-printed fabrics and real to the enemy of antiques. Eaten after a fragrant dumplings and Fen Zhengrou started it began to drizzle. I went into the corner more people to come to parent's house.
Angle the more people is a fairly large-scale restaurants, a stone facing the street, and the other is facing a river. Linhe sat side window, you can see both sides of the wet willow, opposite the river promenade and light rain ripple appearing. To a pot of tea, sitting in the window a daze. Because of the rain, people do not know where to hide, and across the corridor empty, rain fell on the water quietly, and occasionally there are 12 roll-off ships, Ya Ya's scull voice accompanied by the noisy tourists Suddenly breaking the rest of the south. However, the shipping is over, they immediately resumed a quiet, people Shengjian an increasingly distant, large ripples on the surface of the water has gradually become a small ripple. In such a rain, Jiangnan Jiangnan really is my dream: gentle, and quiet, with a little bit of depression, people always hint of hint of sadness.
Tea is drunk, and also made enough of a daze, I stays put an umbrella on a walk in the town's promenade. Xitang lovely residents to their houses according to their ancestors lived in some form carefully arranged, and then received three money to enable the visitors. Though can not help but suspect there are carved, but compared with developed tourism tourist spots, so that the value of residential and more visitors. Some households will be arranged into a residential Miss Xiang Gui, tourists can stay inside and sleep in the bed as old as the night walked Gezhigezhi ring floor leaning on the window watching the scenery, but also not a good feeling for.
By Xitang do not feel it is very regrettable night, and night walk under the corridor, people have Huangruogeshi feeling. During the day and tourists walk by night Jingde not hear a trace of the human voice, the river two rows of red lanterns hanging from both sides, through the red lantern Hun Hun, you can see the old buildings Yingyingchaochao. Lanterns reflected in the surface reflection because of the rain and the wavering Fengyi Chui, just as it was torn, like a few pieces and then slowly gather. Sitting on wooden benches under the terms of lanterns promenade, listening to the distant coming Washengchongsheng, you will find heart calm down, and completely forget the frantic disturbances on earth.
Wuzhen - vicissitudes Wuzhen West Street, East Street is a tourist spot, there is Mao Dun's former residence, and Lin's Store, as well as after trimming off the promenade, stone Itabashi and wineshop, dye. When the evening in the family-style teahouse, drinking tea and clinical the river, you can see across the river promenade, gradually turn on the red lanterns, and another flavor.
However, most worthy of a go Wuzhen West Street. Through the development of things that people have always felt uncomfortable in the East Main Street, ancestors left the house and the new antique buildings are not integrated. Therefore, in Wuzhen not even know how to use a trishaw driver, are "genuine, West Street, has not yet developed in West Street" as a slogan to recruit customers.
West Street is a very long street is broken, really has not developed on both sides of the building is definitely old. Can not stop the wind, fast-breaking doors, the old walls were fragmented, remnants of the bridge was bumpy, stone bridge on the crevices of the weeds grow. Riverside park with an unknown era wreck, the ship has been covered with luxuriant herb. Women squatted on the river washing clothes, so old that no two adjacent teeth of the elderly in the tea shop chat. This Jiangnan let me sad.
Family lived in West Street tricycle endlessly introduced me to West Street to the ancient and the attraction for tourists, but in the end, he said: "Development of the like, and I can live a building." As tourists, we have where to find traces of history, and we sigh, we are nostalgic, but we are still a matter of course to return to the hustle and bustle of modern progress; as a household living in the people here aspire to a modern high-rise, complaining that the narrow streets of living space and gray historical relic for them is very difficult to escape. So, in the end development is the destruction or development? Walk in the light rain in the West Main Street, I Wang Ran the.
Nanxun - Farewell Modern
Not the same as with the Xitang Wuzhen, Nanxun tourist taste is not so thick, possibly because of more developed economies because it, in the tourist business operators who are doing here is not that anxious to come over customers. Nanxun is the most distinctive buildings. Liu's Manor in Nanxun Xiaolian Zhuang, Xiao Lianzhuang combination of Chinese and Western architecture, scattered in more than ten acres of clear water between the arrangement is very Yun Zhi, promenade dotted with rockeries, deep clean. Spring is not the time to go, but can not see over the lotus pond, only some broken Bai Ye float on water.
100 floor, built around the Xun River, the legendary Ming Dong rites of his slaves were built, and the size of large buildings do not have any extraordinary, the unusual is that a unified structured, after 400 years of wind and rain also keep intact. To 100 F, when the dusk, the sunset to the river gray tiles and white walls of the 100 cage on the floor, a layer of pale gold, 100 building to the people to do their own thing leisure is not on the scattered a few tourist those who cast a curious eye. From the bustling town of Street onto 100 F, and then slowly in such a sunset walk, surrounded by quiet, the heart is quiet, so you feel as if good-bye to modern times, walked back to the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Travel Crutch:
Transport: to Xitang from Shanghai by train to Jiashan, and then ride the CMB, it is convenient, even playing only 25 of money. Xitang can come out from the first car of Jiaxing, Jiaxing station service very good, to go around the car a lot. To Nanxun I stopped in the town of Wuzhen crossing vehicles, over an hour to go.
Food: Xitang of a fragrant dumplings must have tasted, Fen Zhengrou although tired of points, was also very good. Wuzhen's aunts cake street, but the taste is very general, you can taste. Nanxun do not know why the streets were Wonton shop, large ravioli heads bigger than the dumplings, both cheap and delicious.
Attractions: Jin Xitang buy big ticket, in fact, that is, packages, you can travel into the company's network sites, but these spots are mostly tasteless. So you can not buy big ticket, swaggering in, to visit the private residence of those who are open to visitors. Wuzhen is still worth buying the package, you can see the former residence of Mao Dun, Lin's Store, etc., but the West Street is not not go, hire a tricycle, that is, 30 or so, let him take you Daochu Guang, he will be free to Your guide will also take you to drill into the guitar and dust filled with spider silk, not the old one open house yo. Nanxun of the 100 House at dusk or early morning to the best, particularly flavor.
