Some people like to Xitang, compared with Zhouzhuang, I think such a comparison is like two different places, with different historical backgrounds, like the girl Bimei, a single say that the "more beautiful" that "bad some" there is always inappropriate, because different regions, different historical and cultural backgrounds will create a different human temperament, "beauty" standards are also different.
Zhouzhuang Zhouzhuang been beautiful people do not say that unfortunately, I feel the same, but I feel if I do not Xitang do not look at the early morning and Xitang moonlit night, it must be kinds of regrets.
When we went to Xitang is noon, entered or streets, the familiar stone path, the plain and gray tiles, white walls My heart is confused once Pianqiang gentle up and everything under the sun lazy and transparent, the river sparkling, stone bridge, under someone Yao Jiang, wind along the water, the sound of a string of lanterns inside the gallery are also staggered, non-perception, the time it was, I just care about the things that have been forgotten had one thousand 2 net.
Xitang people like to be proud of in the "Xitang" before the words "Millennium town" before, because in the Spring and Autumn period, it was known as the "Wu-kan Yue Corner" is where the competition between Wu and Yue and Ng Chi Xu also Xiushui Li in this building, so the original Xitang called "Xu Tong", and only later renamed "Xitang."
Xitang There are many well-preserved Ming and Qing architecture, ancient bridge, but "Lang Peng" and "Old Lane" is Xitang the "Shuangjue."
The so-called Lang Peng is with the roof of the street, Xitang people to Langpeng took a very poetic name - Amidst the promenade.
This is truly the corridor, however, total length of about 1000 meters, the plain black tiles cover the top, at intervals of a pillar beam hanging a lantern, attached river attached houses, stretching forward, Langpeng, it is all an attached restaurant and a bakery shop, smell the aroma, looking at scenery, people could not help but want to stop forever.
In Langpeng slowly forward, 32 tourists from far and near, and then from near and far, I suddenly found that there are no crowds, no noise, no hustle and bustle of the catch-me, some Langpeng under the shadow of light, lantern and shadow, and shadows of misty and beautiful face.
Lang Peng is one of two bridges at the end of the bridge stomach, very special, called sons Laifeng bridge. Asked the local people, said that bridge when you've seen in a feng shui master, said to be to wait for the time horizon, the Phoenix flew a shop the first one definitely good luck stone, so far away to see the craftsmen started the day there are only birds and sailing over, come to think that Phoenix will be the first one quickly covered with slate her surprise, it was not Phoenix, but a Blackbird, and laying out to Phoenix when the fourth block was coming from the horizon, then they would be wishful thinking to Nazhi Blackbird as a first-come, step children of the Phoenix, originally scheduled for a good name, "Laifeng Bridge" was renamed as "sons Laifeng bridge."
The bridge has ever been a row of parked Fung Wu Pengchuan, we do not have on board, but listening to the babble grinder, watching the shadows on board cheerful cheerful, not by also suffices.
In the night, we entered the "southern people" eat, originally did not intend to drink, but the arrival of people, but the enthusiasm of the owner should a bottle, it is the owner from doing dates rice wine, a bottle of it 4 the money, my people do not drink to drink a small mouth, will feel a burst of wine and incense dates straight Qin brain, stomach yard bustling, and skateboarding, and what such a good time to drink wine? The first time I would like another drink.
Quiet night soon, and people seemed drunk, out of and shops I would like a foot into the poetry and painting, the elephant seems to sleep like a child, when lying awake in his father's shoulder, surrounded by water, there are bridges, there are lights. . . . . .
Binger standing on bridge, facing the promenade Rain in the excitement, screaming, "How beautiful ah! How beautiful ah!" Old weeks have put all their family belongings began to mad press the shutter, before your eyes are a Hong Zhu Lian, vague shapes of faint shadow of the shed and water, shadow, gentle and passionate occupy your heart and every cell, you can say that it is poetry can also say it is painting, but the give you are not only the feelings of poetry and painting.
Total also can not imagine there will be so beautiful lanterns, do not come Xitang you how would I know?
Wake up first thing in the morning to open the window, Xitang morning just woke up like a child's face, clean, bright, shining light. Not the same as other town, where shops are open particularly late, like nearly ten o'clock, all and shops began to open, and we bought on the street some Fen Zhengrou and a walking, eating rice dumplings to enjoy while the second must Xitang "Ancient Lane . " Get the child here is really a lot, probably more than 120, the most famous is an ancient leather get a total length of 68 meters, narrowest point is only 0.8 meters, it is estimated to go for this big fat man get a bit dangerous.
Xitang In addition to the "Shuangjue", and "Xitang three knives," the premier, said to have been to three knives in the CCTV television, a paper knife said "Kirimura Agile," the masters of money, Jin Ming The art of a Shinai to say that "Water Yang F," the owner Yung-Ming Hsu of the bamboo art, a version of a knife that is "drunk Garden" Wang's father and son prints. We seek shelter in order to find a "Kirimura Agile", in order to eat they call "water-Yang F," It's really a governor of paper knives, Shinai refined worthy process, there is a third knife, because he stayed indoors Lou Xiang, only left for future inquiries by Zaiqu.
