Memories of Old Beijing - the last of Hangzhou
Friends from outside come to Hangzhou, West Lake is a must go. I might also recommend them to go south to stroll.
Impression of the Hangzhou, east is the urban-rural west is a collection of IT upstart, the North is relatively well-developed industry has to be some. Only the south, smoldering with the kind of pure culture of Hangzhou well.
We should note that when the south line of West Lake has been transformed into Shanghai's trendy Xintiandi general scenery, the south of transformation of the dust in the Old City also has begun to degenerate, and are just worried in the end will become a butterfly or a moth.
Hangzhou, south, there is no university, there is no high-grade office buildings, and also because of the mountains across the Qiantang River and the riverside, there is no native population to live right where there's interest. A large number of old ones, so that a high proportion of elderly people there for any other city. Thus the traditional respect in those buildings, the crowd preserving.
Wushan, also known as Cheng Huang Shan, is a sign of Seongnam. This is a completely people-oriented mountain, in the Wushan Square and Hefang Street has not modified before it had been so untimely in the stands in a large residential areas, but with so interdependent. Mountain huts everywhere, so that "Cheng Huang hill to see fire" phrase Hangzhou old saying from time to time come true. Every morning, living in the grain Road Mt size of the screws mountain area residents playing in the mountains boxing, and released birds, sing Shaoxing opera, bubble tea. So from the Southern Song Dynasty of folklore, the latest international affairs to the club-law, West housewives, colored topics in pure vivid in Hangzhou dialect.
Until the sun has appeared under the old camphor tree mottled shadow, the Wushan slowly quiet down. At noon, mountain school, the students began to secretly slip into the mountains. Mountainside a pile of Chinese zodiac stones, I have never been fully identified all the zodiac animals, but they were once a childhood paradise, indeed only a child can appreciate in these crawling around on the smooth stones of the fun. Were newly settled, grass warbler fly a long time, the mountains where the grass can be taken to the red wild strawberries, with the strings of weeds to eat slowly. Greedy, when the new sticks out roses often escape, no snacks in the era, those things taste left behind only memories can be found. And that can be taken to the place where the twins Wild Strawberries have long been the transformation in the Wushan Square no longer exists. I remember a long time before the lunch break time, or a biology teacher, decided to let the mountains grasp insect specimens, they can always come to the peak of the opportunity to exchange view of rivers and lakes Pavilion, second floor of a small pavilion so far today, Cheng Huangge domineering, to make a few simple, but more civilian-oriented, without tickets, but can still overlooking the mountains and enjoy the mountain breeze. For me, more like a Xiaojiabiyu Wushan, if the concept of rivers and lakes Meeting is a cloth hat kiosk, but the idea is simple and Wushan complement each other, while Cheng Huangge is more like a phoenix coronet studded jewelry, gorgeous but out of tune with the Wushan. So when I once again boarded the Wushan, when I re-posted the original intent view of rivers and lakes Meeting Pavilion, the yearning for the development of the mountain without, where the green moss covered stone steps have not yet become a crude cement road, but also to listen to River Square Antique show-not see the hustle and bustle on the street. Further south, went to Phoenix Hill line, where the Southern Song Imperial Ancestral Temple, the Southern Song Dynasty kiln sites, mountain roads can inadvertently find some old stone for Cliff, but also understand Butterfly Lovers Past "Shibaxiangsong" in mood, the time out of the city is said to take this Hill.
The foot of the south is also the essence of Hefang Street has since been transformed, but a hodgepodge of. After all, such as Antique Street can be found in the country. And because the reasons for the high rents of shops, some of the original civilian-oriented shops and local snacks instead withdrew from the Hefang Street, the shops along the street has become a foreign land businessman's paradise. Fortunately, Hu Qing Tong Lane side of the 15-Kui fell out because it is not survive the transformation of old Aunt were arrayed in their own front stalls selling snacks, there are lo mei hi eggs (eggs northerners known as Mao), halogen tofu dishes, Braised onion bag child, you are lucky Tung Yi, and so the oil can be found. Alley thing more authentic taste and prices fair. The end of the alley, you can find a bamboo device shop, where items sell really reminiscent of living in the cottage where the old days, the shop which not only bamboo basket, colored barrel, and even the toilet brush bamboo brush with a long . With an alley, there are the famous Hu Qing Tong, as well as medicated rooms, some of this old Chinese pharmacy is still well-preserved ancient buildings, looking at those who use powder board written in black paint the Cuban side, understand what is the real quintessence of Chinese culture.
Hefang Street and Zhongshan South Road, a place on the cross is called the four corners, and also remnants of several municipalities to support several old shop, and an old people are aware of the Hangzhou Bandung ham shop, which some of Hangzhou local Curing products to buy some home can experience genuine authentic Hangzhou. Another prominent in the south of Sheep Soup restaurants, fifty cents a bowl of the Sheep Soup absolute value for money, mutton dumpling is also a hot variety. (As for the mutton string, places with a phoenix head, Zhongshan South Road, North Temple for the good.)
Hefang Street and then south, Wushan's Dong Lu, the owner can be found in Hu Qing Tong - Hu Hu Xueyan home. Is called the ingot Street alley gate, the side of the firewall is still the high winds, on the other side has been transformed into a modern district, walking to the present ingot street from the quartzite on the front, but after the sections are stylish babes more than a fashion, but stripped of one southern Rain Lane where the same Yunzhi cloves. Hu Xueyan's House is a new renovated, and fairly in the top grade is the southern garden, features all of the decoration is one with about money. This is the south of the few attractions that can be called the place. But compared to Wushan and the surrounding lanes, this is just a newly renovated big house, nice but not true.
Seongnam, the most attracted me is the kind of Live Flesh of the streets and marketplaces of life, where everyone is part of the landscape. Among these, the most typical is the eat, in addition to the above-mentioned number of snacks, south of Hangzhou, the best noodle shops are the places where, Hangzhou, breakfast stalls to show their face, delicious, often hanging down one side Wangjiang disciple cover pot. The first one is just looking Jiangmen intersection of Huijuan noodle stall out early on the chain. These stores and the west are quite different from Petty's pickled fish shop. Hangzhou, the emphasis is on ordinary people benefit is expected to be enough children. As for the decoration of these things to spend the first flowers of the brain, there is nothing in the south market. So face became the best representatives of soup, vegetable toppings, you can eat a meal a few money Xianghan dripping. In Hangzhou, Sichuan's most famous films in terms of children, how the money will not be more than five. In the west, around the Chike are speaking Mandarin with a young white-collar workers, and most are not native of Hangzhou, where even the broad type of Tingzi Yu must have a high sense than a bowl of noodles.
Aunt mouth opened in an alley shop with the Little Sisters of the surface to eat a bowl of noodles, lazy in the sun, take a look at the wall from the neighbor's yard poking the flora, which is south of enjoyment. Fine little restaurant in the west, called a few names of strange trendy dishes, watching the glass floor ash burst forth on the main street outside the car to drive to, which is west of the city life.
I am living in the west, but often sentimentally attached to south. Only because of life elsewhere.
