"Man, holiday going?" In the work of Chen Baosteel have cars, "Changan Star" van every holiday greet buddies on the trip, the one can lead a full car addiction, secondly, to engage in some photography, and those of us " Shadow Lord Shadow Brother "who is seemingly unattainable, naturally pre-loaded, take over the problem is where to go. Zhejiang nearly all gone, and there is a tourist spot, coupled with tourism golden week to go then it is too expensive, Anhui far we have only three days, then only in Jiangsu, and Shanghai-Nanjing Line attractions do not go, where as yes grandma too familiar, then in the end going? "Hey, we are so why not go in northern Jiangsu." It was suggested that the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed which have been now to northern Jiangsu is very convenient, it is a good idea. Row! Decision.
13:00, vehicle out of Baoshan, soon on the on the Shanghai-Nanjing high-speed. Gloomy weather, the God seems unwilling to make the United States, vehicle and Xicheng Road, Jiangyin Yangtze River Bridge, the rain Xi Li Lek underground up and looked from the bridge into the river, a gray Meng Meng, road visibility poor, Fortunately, this little road vehicles, Chen has not reduced the speed of more than 16 o'clock we have to Jiangdu, the rain has stopped.
Gaoyou is the first stop of our trip, in order to be able to tour along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, we have a car down the highway from Jiangdu along the canal trip. This is a very good conservation of provincial highway on both sides of large poplar trees to flourish in Misty Green. Lu's left is Canal, river navigation with a full physical teams of the iron barge, canal outside is shaobo Lake, in most cases between them, separated by a river bank, and occasionally shines will be able to see the wide shaobo Lake啦, but on a quiet lake , there is no leaf Fan Ying. This thought we had set out on Lake Fanyingchaochao a far cry from the scene a bit disappointing. The right way is a neat and orderly planning wheat fields, the fields are all kinds of trail on the side of the trees, just after rain shower, the whole field is a green, revealing their vitality. There have been intermittent Gary farmhouse nestles in the woods, the house next to the woods from time to time there are 35 white goats chewing on the tender grass. Moment is a little pond, floating on the surface of the water a few idle Goose, they also enjoy the quiet moments after the rain.
Gaoyou, since the Qin Dynasty set up the station for the opening of Yu Ming Dynasty City Station is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal next to an important water Horse Inn. It is also another name for the Yu Gaoyou City, Postal Station culture throughout the city's development. In addition, where the most famous is the double yellow Salted duck egg. When we arrived in Gaoyou 5:30.
Gaoyou is a county-level city, little city, a short while we have come full circle put a city about to see the face of this city, along the old canal houses and old streets, along the provincial highway on both sides of the the last two years, built a new city. The former want to see a Gaoyou Lake, but ask the local people began to realize that to be a ferry over the canal, but it is prohibited to catch fishing season, fishing boats are parked in bay, and now can not see boats on the lake, I heard say this, our hearts on a cold, no wonder along the way do not see the shaobo Lake fishing Fan Ying, perhaps to the wrong time. Too! Anyway, there are many monuments Gaoyou, we might look at leisure, tomorrow to play a play.
The sky has been dark down, "Prime Minister House," Dr. Shen has been that good to the District guest houses forty yuan per person, standard room newly renovated very clean, very tidy, one into the room shouting That's great we can be a bed sit I was stupid, and hard-Banchuang! Chen has laughed, "I started from the study have been sleeping hard Banchuang, no problem." It appears that the Lazy Bones this evening, I want to sleep bad.
