Stay there a little finishing, we came to be heated speculation online "water yang floor."
§ Water Village residential "water-Yang F,"
"Water-Yang House" is located in Hong Kong waters north of burn, ramp-to-door community Dongping passengers out Dongping off society, they see the water, Yang F, the hostess greeted us and invited us to her house, take a look at (of course, have to pay 3 yuan / person visit fees). shuiyang floor is under water, two-story old house was built, because water in the floor, the yang side, Gu Yue "water yang floor."
The door is arch-style gate, gate facing the book "Water Yang F" words, words and floral patterns on the back of brick have been four olds having been knock down, and even more ruthlessly exposed the years of vicissitudes. Into the bottom of the door into the hall, is decorated with square table and straight-backed chair opposite, carved long strips Jian post. them the number of bottles and jars, wall hanging the middle of a hall, left home two couplets, in which a "bird fish insect natural fun, Bamboo ceramic artificial flavor "note shuiyang Louzhu's hobbies, Tang sword of Damocles hanging above the middle," Poly Bamboo Tong "official script plaque. hall on the left wall hung pieces of" kitten playing "brush and ink, according to hostess presentation is her daughter's childhood painting called Xu Ye, childhood under the tutelage of such and such a famous painter, Zhejiang, studied painting and is now a Beijing art institutions on the sophomore, conversation discourse is full of boundless pride. then further to see, and indeed hang various periods of her daughter's work. like a personal exhibition in the run it really festive. placed in the hall of the right-hand side of an antique bed, on the home Jian arrayed Go board, is for master, guest chess, chat objects, According to the owner re-introduced as early as it is a place lying smoking opium. hall was also decorated with a display cabinet, which placed the water-Yang F, man of the house - Xu teacher's bamboo works, as one of the three knives in town, its bamboo the level of work is generally like. patrolling the narrow wooden stairs up the stairs, is a study, master bedroom, and his daughter's boudoir. is purely for the Ming and Qing style furniture. antique, water-Yang F, are all revealed in the southern town of books aroma and to clear rivers and lakes scenery gas.
§ "burning Hong Kong" The beautiful rivers and lakes were a farewell to the water-Yang Lou Zhu, and we burned down the path towards the north shore of Hong Kong before the line, to "Dr. Chen Bridge", and later a teacher from the Von Department also learned that the bridge is a town five age Wufu the longest five elderly dying before we expend all their life savings in the construction of a trapezoidal stone bridge.
Guo Wu-fu burning bridges along the southern coast of Hong Kong westbound, suddenly looked up, startled, however, been the immediate landscape. The early morning fire that Hong Kong is being immersed in a quiet, green mist on the water vapor with Yin Yun, Cecil willow light Light to Chuiluo water, in addition to the river with the lady next door bamboo broom rinsed issued toilet brush. brush sound, silent there is no sound in the early morning, under the genial warmth of the sunshine, against the background with tall old gray tiles and white walls After years of erosion, though already mottled Chen ugly, but the reflection of the slight ripples in the water in rivers and lakes south of the scenery did Jin Xian.
Seeing beauty in a hurry out a long gun pistols, black and white, color plus digital, frequently pressed the shutter, ears ringing constantly, "Kacha" sound, fear of beauty in front of the camera quietly slipped away ... ... In this way, all the way to see, all the way to go, all the way film, all the way understand this great mood, unknowingly came to burn our sodu. Throughout the journey, I think the most interesting part is the early morning fire in Hong Kong - America simply was a mess.
§ initial visit "Amidst the corridor"
Burn the bridge, turn right to leave Hong Kong to Xitang Street, the former line of tens of meters to the west of the Angolan territory to go on to the bridge, security throughout the bridge, right West Street, both sides of the shops in a joint one, buy the local products are Xitang - Suzhou embroidery, woodcarving, antiques, specialty snack foods, especially smoked green beans, a rice dumplings, bull Fen Zhengrou, eight cake is the most famous feature of Xitang snacks. widely circulated online, "Yau Yat Chuen," a restaurant in this the street, this lunch is to eat, followed by a detailed description.
Security throughout the northbound off a few steps, on the Yongning bridge, overlooking the west and Rain Gallery panoramic view and Rain corridor length is less than 2,000 meters, is the most famous places Xitang town, due to rainy rivers and lakes, the town travel more in people's lives are inconvenient for the rain sun, town streets in front of the house built gallery, so that traders trade, and pedestrians fear for the past, no rain and sun, Langpeng Some even set up along the side of the There back benches for people to rest and enjoy the scenery along the river. Langpeng gray tiles are mostly wooden roof width of 2 to 2.5 meters. the characteristics of both ornamental and practical.
Go misty rain corridor has come to more than 10 o'clock, and saw the way red, yellow, blue, green pennant fluttering fluttering; large speakers, small speaker shouted to call days; guide small group children, tour guides Sister mouthful droplets; old grandfather, grandmother each arm has walked a hurry, the town was a pervasive "fine spring" - Xitang has simply become a Shanghai man-land Resort, occasional acquaintances met, shook hands, warm greetings, exchanging current situation, it is some "foreign land encounter refresher" taste.
We are one in the crowd, the former suddenly after the pro, blaze a trail, "Khan Road" bridge to show the direction of ring road and eventually only the line to a half, really uninterested, hastily took a picture and then according to retrace their steps to the "Yau Yat Chuen" restaurant for lunch.
§ In the "Yau Yat Tsuen restaurant" in Yau Yat Tsuen feel about 11:20 or so, because time is too early to restaurant guests rarely, we found a layer near the surface of the seat to sit down, Pingchuang distance, Amidst the panoramic view corridor. "Yau Yat Chuen," restaurant is situated in West Street 60 Xitang, Xue house east of the shop called Jin-Gui Qi, claims can accommodate 180 people dining, is the famous restaurant online, fame not inferior to Beijing The "Quanjude," Tianjin "dog to ignore." Our point of a "Lao Ya ravioli pot", a "salt and pepper pumpkin", a "bamboo shoots stew", asked for a bottle of "Eagle Jiashan King (250ml ). "Lao Ya ravioli pot praise by his wife and daughter; salt and pepper pumpkin tastes good, the color yellow, outer Giori tender, but tastes a bit short, and we had some salt and pepper to the boss again, only eat their way to some taste; how, like how to eat bamboo shoots stewed meat Jinan Grilled pork, no characteristics. Jiashan Wang's taste is really bad carving is extremely hot water a bit, drink up and smell like a lack of the Taiwan Cha. the light of subsequent experience of drinking rice wine is not no hot topic, that is, there are fake wine. "Yau Yat Chuen," very poor quality of service, after the finished dish, will disappear as soon, (as if busy package wonton), a bowl of rice, saying that just the pot , wait half an hour out reminders, I discovered that attendants have forgotten, inside cold pressing, cold hands and feet after a meal also felt they could not help Dahushangdang. The meal cost a total of 66 yuan. such a service, I really do not know why such a well-known.
§ re-visit "Amidst the corridor"
After dinner, back passenger Dongping Association, intends to Meimeidishui on a wrong decision, but entered the room, the feeling is very cool, this time in the north, people are enjoying the heating, coal stove for warmth, the South is not far from indoor heating facilities, and all doors and windows wide open. sunny outdoor and indoor cold anomalies. This fully aware of the southerners cold capacity. Our family was so crowded into three large open wooden carved bed, enjoying the antique bed, but also enjoying a share of the cold .
I do not know cold weather, or the excitement of early Xitang, not the least bit sleepy, simply get out of bed to look outside the sub. Not to burn the Hong Kong community to go out from the Dongping off, turn right walk along the water-yang buildings, church, church restaurant, wood carving museum to Shuangqiao to the misty rain gallery, gallery visitors at this time Rain in the morning than in more than, Lang Peng, the stone bridge, the teahouse, the restaurant gets packed with people, crowded look inside several times, several times crowds back, no alternative but to retrace guest houses, waiting for visitors dispersed.
§ "sons Laifeng Bridge" to go out again, the origin has been 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and visitors have already started to urban returns and Rain Gallery gradually returned to the quiet past, along the promenade before the trip, after the narrowest town The Lanes - thin strip of sky, came the "sons Laifeng Bridge", and later heard Fung stresses the origin of the name of the bridge. has ever been Laifeng bridge Dynasty, a bridge, the craftsmen were invited Bu Shi forget a hexagram , Mr. divination eyes Qiazhiyisuan micro-Hop when it comes to the × year × month × day, you can build the bridge of the last few pieces of slate, then there will be a phoenix flying from the north, and fly over the bridge circled to people to bring good fortune. that day, masons were made in accordance with seers and began laying the last few pieces of quartzite stone. When the laying of the last four stone when the flying distance from the north, has been turned Blue Bird, masons who shouted Phoenix come, put down their homework and wait for the advent of the Phoenix can fly near to a look, but it is dark feathers of the bird resembles a crow. stonemason disappointed. pawnshops to the last piece of stone, the suddenly saw a dark shadow over the north coming to the bridge, and the more over the past, more and more, in the air Tengqi seven-color auspicious clouds, large birds and sailing close to call and circled the bridge, it really was a phoenix, the original flying in front of the son of the Phoenix. "sons Laifeng "name for us. Qing dynasty built the bridge is now gone, replaced by the newly built in recent years of a dual line of covered bridges, in the middle with white walls separated by the wall has opened a fan, Aquarius and other kinds of garden small window. pursue the men to go left, women take the right way.
§ "ring tong" Dinner of the impression that the bridge ahead had sons Laifeng section of the road, they came Huanxiu bridge between the two bridges along the river there are a number of family workshops and restaurants, and drunk Xiangtangshan Furong is here.
The Internet had heard that the daimyo Xiangtangshan, he decided to eat dinner here. Xiangtangshan little room, four tables placed inside the door (I do not know where there are not inter-meal-bit). Just the door, horn, recruited people will warmly regarded We let the inside seating by the Western Wall, the then sent to a dish of home-made smoked beans. ring, recruited by a person named Shen-ming, about 40 evolved, thin, typical southerners look. soft-spoken humility, things Harmony. to us feel good. seated, we want a Turkish chicken (half chicken only), a Fried vegetables, a sauce burnt eggplant, a fish, Egg, called a bottle of Jiashan rice wine (250ml), learned a lesson at noon, please the boss wine boil, and put some ginger, I do not know a good wine, or changes in practice, soft and delicious taste of rice wine, refreshing, drink like a Jimolaojiu taste. the master mind is very small, I filled a cup of drink, the surplus back into the kitchen with the temperature. At this time, food came, one after another, taste, taste a lot better than the lunch, especially the sauce burnt eggplant, eggplant with the Northern Zhejiang Province different, taken singly slender, thin, bluish-purple eggplant skin, tender meat, eggplant, combined with the proprietress of the craft, extremely delicious. Since then, we will often eat dishes Click here. fond, and Mr. Shen chatted for a while, the guests gradually increased, unless we have a connection, Before leaving, Mr. Shen see his daughter likes to eat smoked green beans, catch up with the door so that her daughter brought back to eat two small, little things, Qingyimianmian. This meal took us 60.
To leave the ring together, the sky is already completely dark down, strings of red lanterns lit along the river, town fishing village in the shadow of the night, but also adding to its charm. Rushed out the camera, fixed tripod, fitted with shutter line, Viewfinder focusing, tilting the shutter, leaving the night a few rivers and lakes. Ping-off society will be all the way east, the direction of walking.
Chapter III of the night Xitang
(February 2003 the evening of 3)
§ Customer and Social Night Talk Back to the Dongping Dongping customer agency is already 19 o'clock or so, the one into the hall, see von teachers and stay at noon a couple sitting at table drinking tea in Hangzhou chat. Listen von teacher talk in the evening going to take us to town to wear an alley. advised that we are due to darkness is narrow, a child will be afraid of, it is best not to bring the child to.
Back to the shelter, to lay down their backpacks, to join them.
In this way, in the Great Year of the evening, rivers and lakes of the old one in the town, in the dim孤灯, several strangers passing through sitting around the wooden table before the goods, the owner brings in a cup of tea, twist a few tablets of green beans into the mouth, chewing slowly, Chun Chijian steeped with a touch of fragrance, and makes a clear and melodious singing of birds to listen to Seremban. from the day of the town observe, talk to their old life in the city history, cultural landscape, listening to the teacher talk about Feng countryside town customs, teaching how to make starling to speak the secret of ... ... to escape the city hustle and bustle of glitz, rivers and lakes Qing Ling delicate taste, rare in a relaxed frame of mind, in retrospect, is so easy, nice, but - much better than a happy life.
At this point, the occupancy of the third boss, accompanied by guests into the house, which is also the family of three, Guangdong Foshan people, from Wuzhen to Xitang, the couple went with a girl, daughter of similar age. After the arrival of They first dinner, we had to wait for them to eat together to go after a night wore Xitang.
§ traders overnight on board at about 8:30, we have a line of four (Hangzhou wife, Guangdong man of the house and I) in the von teachers to the set out.
Xitang after nightfall the streets in the main road there is only a faint light, all dark alleys Lanes 1, reaching not see the thumb, and sometimes can only feel of pre-trip, because there is no immediate point of reference, so the body will be temporary loss of balance ,
Much like the drunken feeling.
Turn right and proceed from the Dongping off society, and we went straight north, through a long narrow alley, came to town north of liren port in this river, the anchor, large and small Wupeng Chuan the ship is very old, both sides of the hatch was Weidang up faintly in the gap disclosed in dim lighting, bow-wow bow came from time to time. von teacher said most of these boats around the countryside to town is home to a small business traders. These people selling scenic spots during the day to sell a small tourist items, night on the habitat on board. life is very hard.
§ Mei house, the compound of the rise and fall over the bridge we came to the Tiger River, north shore, to continue to go east, turn left into the first to wear a small lane - Mei Zhai alley, plum home town was originally a wealthy family, houses covers an area of great, but then most are members of the family surnamed Mei overseas to do business, live, houses are not well managed, and slowly abandoned, and the wind and rain all year round many of the roof collapsed Zhaizi down, and some entire a house collapse into a pile of dirt. has become more apparent in the dark, desolate defeat, according to Fung speaking, Mr Medvedev later generations have returned to Xitang inquire about his ancestors, when you see such a scene, we also had to turn around to leave, never to return.
Backtrack from the plum alley house, entered the westbound was Mr Fung referred to as "Ghost Story" the second small alley, this is the last of a large house, due to the long uninhabited, off the roof collapsed, and a large wood carving fine Li in the half of it urges a full brick wall, surrounded by grassland half a man's height, Ye Feng blowing, rustling with the story of Liao Zhai rural country place to live outside the HUXIN ghosts there are somewhat similar. chillingly, we hurry out to come to the third small lane - Lee Small Lane.
The compound is the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Qin Li Shimin posterity place to live, a great yard, and now there are people living in the alley mouth, West Town that the Government has a Shipai, one of whom seemed to carved the "Shanghai former deputy director of the National People's Congress Li × × house "message.'s name has lost count, and pomp of the bar is large enough.
Out of the compound, but also wore several small alley, go west, and 10000 Onkyo Lion Bridge, along the way Fung about his recent work at night at the bridge suffered hair, eyebrows and beard are all white, "Bai Wuchang "and after, bizarre, it is certain superstitious. We are five members of his lines along the Hebei Province, passing the original Guan Caipu town, now replaced by rice wine museum. and then embark on Wolong bridge.
§ Wolong Wolong Bridge is the story of the bridge built by the Qing Dynasty, dating back several hundred years of history has been. Is a typical southern arched stone bridge single hole in the bridge, Mr. Fung gave us a bridge before and after the period of moving Story: In the Qing Dynasty, where they had no stone, only by two planks, but a simple re-Da Cheng Mu Banqiao. One day, a bamboo craftsman in the town's bridge to see a pregnant woman had Bridge, the bridge because of physical inconvenience and narrow slippery, careless fall under the bridge, the river ruthless killed woman and her son's life. bamboo craftsman thus vowed to the town in their lifetime to build a stone bridge. In order to raise as soon as possible to repair bridge funding, he went to the north of the bridge falling behind a temple made for the monks, and became a monk and a daily street to street, alms fund-raising. Day after day, year after year, continue to raise the money to pay I used to bridge the town stonemason. But in his last hours, not to raise sufficient funds. so he will be the Trustee after he passed away a package to the bridges of the mason, masons open the package a look, not money , but rather exposed at the end of a pair of worn-out old shoes. bamboo craftsman for building bridges and fund-raising alms have been broken I do not know how many pairs of shoes to wear. 2 bamboo artisan stonemason was touched by the kindness and perseverance, he decided to devote all of the stone to complete bamboo craftsman unfinished wishes. 2 masons of all ages with their own figures on the bridge on both sides of the bridge masonry steps the number of older masons do a good job, the young mason masonry of the steps is not enough, so the south Shui of a bend figure, combined with the age of her son, a few steps just the same., according to Feng teacher talk about on the plane if the bird's eye view of this bridge, like a black dragon lying in the river Xitang city, thus the name "Wolong bridge." But in what way the ancients In the high-altitude overlooking the chose this name is unknown. bridge for hundreds of years have happened in history, but well-preserved, and only 2 some of the damage, a Japanese invasion of China, the bomb left Chuanghen; 1 by the bridge railing roots grow a small tree, Yingying the bridge railing to open up a Huokou.
§ South of Liao Zhai story of the West Bank under the Wolong bridge suan Langpeng southbound, Feng teacher has described some of the charming town HUXIN the horrors of death, legends, and take us to the "scene" to visit each of experience, after talking, the From time to time due to HUXIN用手电筒照to haunt the abandoned old house, through the incomplete lattice of wood, faintly visible red carved large upstairs windows and beautifully carved dressing table, which was confusing to death mistress of the boudoir . The strange thing is, Mr. Pu Song-ling's lines, "Liao Zhai Zhi Yi" are women HUXIN Phantom of the patients displaying Hu Mei the way many men confuse the poor scholars of the story, and Mr. Feng Jiang dictated "Southern Ghost Story Gaiden" are men HUXIN to display their masculinity scripts confusing Purdah women, to have filled the Po old gentleman "Ghost Story" and a blank. But in this dark, cold winter nights, on the ground, Du Wu hygiene conditions, always feel that there is a pair of gloomy, Injection green eyes staring at us. can not help but shudder, horror ... ... ... ... Escape quickly! Accompanied by a teacher Feng explain unusual words, we quickly fled the HUXIN their "crime scene."
§ promenade night misty rain continued south, we arrive at Rain in Tung Tau Yongning promenade bridge, west Shui, the north bank in the misty rain along the promenade under the Xianting Langpeng walk through the old house on the river-up call strings of red lanterns will illuminate the town even more bright and intense mood along just relaxed.
The misty rain late in the evening promenade shops are already well on both sides of the upper plate out of business, and surrounded by a quiet, occasionally a pair of lovers nestling Langpeng Linhe the bench under the whispering; strings of light in water, mapping out the roads lead to the red reflection , a gentle breeze, the river Dangqi layers of ripples, which subsequently turned into capsules Red Bead scattered reflection on the water; wet stone path mapping in the moonlight under the faint thrown Qingguang. the air was filled with the wet-Chao Chao Air refreshing; standing in the river, Weibi eyes, take a deep breath Qingshu tenderness of the arm was his luggage, along mood turned into a feather light hung FIT sublimated.
Oh ... ... This is what I dreamed of ancient town the night!
§ "protect the country with the grain Temple"
Langpeng along the westbound bridge over Huanxiu passing Kirimura Agile, turning to "protect the country with the grain Temple", temple commonly known as "seven Laoyemiao." Built in the Ming Dynasty North Korea is a town of villagers to commemorate a charge built grain officer. a time when town year after year famine, crop failure, local people have suffered, there was a surname gold remand the court officer to escort food rations passing through here, circumstances in mind, moved compassion, and without permission decided to bet all of the rations distributed to the local people in order to survive a year of famine. people saved, but the charge was in accordance with law officers beheaded food. Later, the court investigated at this time, sealing it as "protect the country with food king", the ancient people gradually build temple town due to charge food at home and ranked seventh officer, also known as seven Laoyemiao, so that future generations shrine worship.
§ Southern Lanes 7 Laoyemiao had the impression that a few steps forward, then to the promenade at the end of misty rain, and go back over Huanxiu bridge, stone skin get to West Street,
Listen to the teacher talk about Feng, stone skin is something up in your town and then get a little ordinary, but without any features. Is just the beginning of tourism development in the town, get inside a sale of the tourism sector, jointly carried out the development of small get speculation, become a tourist attraction and the name of Sao 1:00, we stood alley mouth, the inside looked on with von teacher left.
Turn left, turn right, groping forward, we have to wear the Soviet Union get home, leaves family get, namely, family get, and some can not remember the name of the alley. In the darkness ahead, feeling the town the millennium brought us a copies of precipitation, a vicissitudes of life, like the taste of an aging altar wine, a sense of Lie Chunhou also food for thought. when my ZIPPO lighters and SAMSUNG SGH - T108 color cell phones came in handy, given the light of its inferior flashlight.
In the alley, we have the serial for about half an hour long, and sometimes saw the Ming-dynasty brick masonry foot 4-story horse wall, sometimes seen as placing the foot by removing Shijiu Dingmen bars; and to see the variety of carving a "hi", "Shou" and so the word lattice of wood. out of town was found to have the most exposure to the south of the town with the new road junction of post and telecommunications.

Some of today's gloomy weather, the sun when the clouds in the thin, at times hidden, burning hundreds of times went to Hong Kong, choose the one great scene where a good support tripod, equipped with Canon 30, replaced the original end-ting line "spitting blood" acquisition of the EF70 - 200 f/4L "Xiao Bai" professional head, rotating the polarizer, insert the shutter line, viewfinder focus .-- busily working after a pass, find the steps to sit down, lit a cigarette, spit a few smoke ring, waiting for the day of the most beautiful moment of arrival.
Suddenly, the morning sun through the clouds, scattering down to the town casts a golden coat, in a quiet and peaceful in adding to its warm atmosphere, light and shadow intertwined mirrors a Nongmo pastel hues of the ink. Is Some "people painted mid-stream" feeling. At this time, carrying "Changqiangduanpao" "color (photo) wolves" who also have deployed, or gather in small groups to make rounded shape, or going it alone was independent wolf-like. everybody look greedy, a great beauty is not Saojin Xitang ruthless momentum.
Water, Youyuanerjin drift to a leaf boat, punting from time to time fishing with long bamboo poles on the surface of the water picked up the floating debris, clean the ancient times people rely on rivers and lakes criss-cross the river. In the rivers and lakes, upstream rinsed toilets, meters downstream of the spring vegetables and do not see the scene has been the one hand, pass on the ancient town of people every household water pipes, eat a more clean water; most important is due to the excessive development of tourism in and around the new the size of hotels, restaurants, water quality has been seriously polluted. Xitang out of time, had seen the river at the inlet into the town and built a filtration Wai dam, blocking the water full of floating garbage .-- quality of life Pollution has spread from large cities to the ancient town. This phenomenon, if not timely rectification, one day people will taste the bitter fruit of their own hand-lead.

§恋恋不舍离西塘早饭后,在回东坪客社的路边店铺里买了一本明信片和两枚西塘古镇的原地纪念封,这套明信片中一张可用来制作极限片,
由于本人是极限爱好者,因此每逢有外出旅游、出差的机会,必先查找当地名胜古迹及相关邮票发行的资料,备好相关邮票,到当地寻找与邮票主题一致的明信片,贴票,到当地相关邮局盖戳,制成一枚票、片、戳统一的极限片.因此在来西塘的头一天,提前准备好了国家邮政局2001年4月7日发行的编号2001— 5《水乡古镇》特种邮票. 一套六枚中第六枚是“嘉善西塘”.
回到东坪客社,一进门就闻到了浓烈的香火味,冯先生正在拜佛进香,一问才知大年初四是迎请财神的日子,保佑一年中“财源滚滚进门来”.不再打扰他了,我们进客房收拾好行装.与冯先生道别并问清楚西塘邮电局和汽车站位置后,离开了东坪客社.
出古镇来到新区,沿宏福路向南走,向西拐走大约15分钟来到西塘邮政局,邮政局面积不大,但很洁净,拿出做好的极限片,让邮政人员盖好日戳收好,日戳如实记载了这次西塘之行的日期“2003.02.04.11 浙江嘉善.西塘(支)”,原地纪念封邮票面值2.80元挂号实寄.
出邮局来到长途汽车站,称其为长途站,其实最多是一个汽车停靠点,除路边电线杆上悬挂着用毛笔手写的“嘉兴”两字及发车时刻表外,没有任何迹象表明由此乘车.一辆小型长途客车停在路边,车很破旧,车里设施简陋且很脏,很久没坐这种车了.上车买票,票价7元/人,售票员连车票都不给.顺便记下了西塘至嘉兴的发车时间:
6:00 7:00 7:30 8:00 8:40 9:20 10:□□ 11:00
11:40 12:20 13:00 13:30 14:20 15:00 15:20 16:00
乘车的人不少,一会就坐满了,伴着轰轰隆隆的破车引擎声,我们离开了水乡古镇——西塘.
西塘旅游小贴士:
游:进古镇正门需买游览通票:30元/人.游览景点大多是人造景观,如木雕馆、钮扣馆、瓦当馆、黄酒馆等,东拼西凑了一些东东,不看也不会觉得遗憾,况且到乌镇必须买票进入(管理很严),景点大同小异.因此,建议走其它入口进古镇,看一看烧香港、烟雨长廊的“小桥、流水、人家”;穿一穿水乡狭窄悠长的小弄,听一听古镇悠久的历史和民间传说;品一品小镇的特色小吃;体会一下悠闲自得的心情……我看已经足够了.
住:在西塘,如果对住宿的要求比较高,可以住新区的国营宾馆,费用相对高一些;如果想亲身体验一下古镇人的日常生活、风土人情,可以住设在古镇内的私家客栈,但设施比较简陋,用公共卫生间,空调、热水澡更甭想.但费用相对低一些.以下是抄录的一些住宿旅馆、客栈的资料:
西塘假日酒店TEL: 0573— 4567388
西塘宾馆TEL: 0573— 4568024 宏福路308号140元左右/天西塘旅馆TEL:0573— 4564422 <100元/天俞园大酒店TEL:0573— 4564267
东坪客社(古宅) TEL:13017797138(冯强) 烧香港北37号60～80元/天慎德堂(古宅) TEL:0573— 4565896 镇下西街79号60元左右/天静怡轩(古宅) TEL:0573— 4565264 80元左右/天江宅大院(古宅) TEL:0573— 4562672 烟雨长廊桐村雅居内60～120元/天吃:在西塘,餐馆很多,大多集中在烟雨长廊附近,如又一村、明清食代、钱塘人家、
响堂、醉芙蓉等林林总总,且菜的口味都差不多.西塘的小吃一定要尝一尝,熏青豆有甜的、有咸的、有微辣的,吃在口中越嚼越香;一口粽不是很好吃,很硬(可能是没吃到正宗的);荷叶粉蒸肉没有偿,不知什么味道;欠实糕很像云片糕,临走时买了一些带回来分给家人;嘉善黄酒的酒厂就在西塘,味道也不错,放姜末煮开再喝味道更佳,特别是冬天,有驱寒之奇效;再就是诸如馄饨、豆花之类的东东,不算特色,但味道都不错.
行:在西塘古镇景区占地范围很小, 景点紧凑,一天时间能逛个三遍四遍的,古镇内看不到汽车,摩托车都很少,人们多步行或以自行车代步.人力三轮车很多且便宜;在烟雨长廊,有乌篷船供游人乘坐,观赏两岸美景.这次由于天气冷,也没有坐船游览,算是一大憾事.
摄:在西塘,清晨和傍晚的景致最佳,安安静静,游人极少,烧香港一步一景,非常紧凑, 如能赶上细雨菲菲、烟雨濛濛的时候,水乡古镇的意境就更加浓厚了,;烟雨长廊的夜景也不错,
