Train cars
6:58 pm on February 1st, we boarded the train (because the other two companions of time does not match, but to Meet in Shanghai met).
Find the shop, and soon, our cars again bustling up, due to the little girl next door cars, 4 year old, and very cute, because it is the first time to ride the train, feeling very fresh, Yishang Che shouted to eat on the surface. We settled things began to open good meal, and seeing that she was really cute, it points to give her something to eat, and she promised her mother to take over the next dare, and later her mother to bring out the things she likes, she in one hand and from a large bag of chocolate she was favorite stuffing me: you eat! I let her keep their own to eat, she refused to live or die, until I was happy to take over the laughter, and then every thing should be to eat let me pick it to eat, rarely seen such a generous child, what things are Ken and other people, she pointed at my grandmother said to her: I love this aunt! Oh, really extremely cute!
Huan was so much noise next door compartment of the backpack again Laileyibang Guangzhou who was chatting up on the itinerary are not the same with us, though this is the case, but talk about a trip, all excited, and I have left Ling contact telephone number, and have the opportunity to Meet with the perfect mountain climbing.
I can not sleep at night, they lie on the bed chatting, leaving them tired old lady sleeping lower berth of Hangzhou: the girl, Can you tomorrow Seems weird and empty, very late!
We spit tongue, play a grimace, obediently lay down a.
Appreciate Shanghai
2:06 pm on February 2, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, get off in the backpack.
3:54 we arrived in Shanghai early morning quiet is also waiting for us.
Hit the car, and soon went to her home, it is very old Shanghai Shikumen room, only four high-wall is red brick, or wooden stairs inside, and walk above the "creak ... ... "The sounds really afraid that we can not afford the weight of wood, broken. However, it felt like walking back above 30 years in Shanghai.
We carefully climbed the top floor of the house was well furnished, there is a small attic, I really like it. The only bad is that even here, still maintains the original pattern of the old --- no toilet, go to the toilet had to use the toilet every morning and see the old lady who is also holding a toilet to the public toilets on the streets of a landscape. However, Scenery will disappear in the near future, and these may be two years Shikumen room would burn the. Unfortunately? Regrets? Perhaps the era of the price of progress can only be the case.
We stayed there for a while, we along Huang Pi Road south, is the newly developed Shanghai Xintiandi, it was a star investment in Hong Kong and Taiwan, large-scale, architectural style, Chinese and western wall, new blending of ancient, now the people of Shanghai , as well as foreigners, tourists, another hot nightlife, and the more nights here, but more exciting. Restaurant, bar the door are filled with tables and chairs, if in the summer, it feels more relaxed and impressionistic, walking inside, just walked into another world, like, perhaps, only in Shanghai, in order to bring the concept of Xintiandi on its head, metropolitan style with the petty bourgeoisie and the sentiments of living up to Xintiandi. Heard of Jackie Chan's restaurant also opened here, while the second phase of the new world is about to build up, then, is a frightening picture of what it?
From the Huangpi reach People's Square subway, and then move forward is the pedestrian street of Nanjing, where commercial buildings everywhere, lights, pedestrians milling around, it is lively. Walking in the street, Maner all speak Cantonese tour, it feels like a walk in the streets of Guangzhou, the Guangzhou comfortable than walking on the road was great, but also clean, they do not guard against a thief, I feel quite safe .
Along the Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, come to an end soon to see the famous Peace Hotel, which was built in 1929 of the old five-star hotel, we walked into the hotel lobby style was immediately overawed, he heard a number of back "Peace Hotel", and now at hand, we are excited about walking in the lobby, a bit like Granny Liu same into the Grand View Garden.
Nanjing Road is the end of the Bund, and Bund is indeed the Bund, head milling around, and you want to close to the riverside is the same difficulty, but the night view of the Bund is excellent, Puxi ancient buildings with modern attractions and light, regardless of from which point of view, can feel the kind of night the bright lights of downtown Shanghai, the only regret is that Pudong's Oriental Pearl TV Tower went so far as not very bright, quiet, said the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, but usually very bright, and brightly lit, she said with a smile : Yes, certainly you would come, so have overshadowed the Pearl of the Orient. We all laughed again.
Evening, we went to the Hengshan wave bowl street bars, there really is indeed a paradise for Petty, gas points is also very good, with live band performances, music, although strong, but do not think that noisy, but often a beginning or the end of the surrounding cheers, screams, whistles and sound will always reverberates audience, we sat on the third floor you can feel the air points, will not help but follow applaud applauded. 10:00 or so, another playmate has arrived in Shanghai with our convergence, and therefore, we join up mad, and even sitting on the table next to us foreigners have also been infected, we are ready to leave in the photo, we also join in the fun of walking come and join us in a photo, and thus had to go back until 2:00 was referred to the quick.
Shanghai Tour
February 3
Almost Yiyewumian last night, up very late this morning, 10 o'clock set off from the Town God's Temple. Well, festivals are a large infestation, is drawing huge crowds everywhere, people pushing people to go, really tired! However, the Xiao Long Bao dumplings Nanxiang was good, and we crowded upstairs waited more than 1 hours before and so on in place, and there are many other places where locals are eating dumplings, but other places where people are still pretty Jiangdao Yi, and not to focus on grab a seat, see you standing next to, they will consciously say to you to follow you. To see each pile into the dumplings on the table is higher than the head, can not see the person opposite, people are too busy to think what they simply head down to eat, and in the downstairs takeaway, a full 100 meters of people Long may think it tastes really good.
Taste of delicious dumplings, we have gone through a long bridge, into the Yuyuan Garden, which is a large private garden, but also to retain the most complete Shanghai Jiangnan classical gardens, which the layout of the main stone, the entire There courtyard surrounded by four dragon, but the dragon's claws, only three (in general Draconyx are four), the legend was built in this garden, because of roof on the four dragon, it was considered a rebel suspect informants to the emperor, so clever craftsmen put the dragon's claws do less one, and thus escaped the impending massacre. South park corridor is a rare pattern, double lines, in the interval of a wall, Nanzuonvyou, great men and women of the grant award are not pro-Italian. Garden furniture, furnishings, many of priceless, but Yuhua break and exquisite jade rockery stone, but also rocks, one of the three southern garden, quiet, said: This is a 1000 hole 10000 Delicate Jade hole, and connected to Kong and Kong, Dong Dong interlinked, if following a fire burning, smoke will be rising from each hole, intricate, and indeed is a rare spectacle.
Get enough out from the Yu Garden and found the ferry terminal over Pudong, and really did not expect this high-consumption in Shanghai city, ferry 5 cents for every talent, we are stunned: My God, really? !
Less than 10 minutes, we have taken the lead in the Riverside Avenue Pudong, and sitting in Riverside, overlooking the Puxi, watching the occasional boat passing, Man on the river shore, startled pedestrians tangle on the river bank , followed by storage haggard fled, looking tread water for the people fled, we had the kick up a fuss.
Because Wei Gao, Oriental Pearl TV Tower, I was not on on and static such as in the following them. They run the Shanghai Museum, under the above very good, devoted to the history of Shanghai's development over the past century, wax doing something very realistic, coupled with advanced video and audio, lighting equipment, is hard to tell people to the extent of true and false, they also as of December once the life-like person. I did not personally see a little disappointed.
Back from the Pudong Puxi, we chose to take the ferry, in the bow, we are toward the wind to enjoy the night view of the two sides of the Huangpu River and enjoy the "Fireworks Sleepless Town" in mood.
After dinner, we boarded the bus at the end of Qingpu straight Qingpu, tomorrow will be straight into the Zhujiajiao Qingpu.
Zhujiajiao
February 4
Zhujiajiao Qingpu from very close to a taxi as long as 10 minutes by car.
Entering the town, we enjoy a small ravioli in Shanghai swallow, siu mai, taste good, the price and inexpensive.
This trip, we arrived late and did not see the morning Zhujiajiao, this time an exception is crowded, and tourists bustling. Letting Them Go stand on the bridge, facing the lake surface winds of the cold mountains and rivers, overlooking the water, the two sides built according to the ancient residential areas, small bridges, flowing water, people, faint feelings of homesickness, nostalgia and remember with affection.
"Long Street three years, the shop 1000", is Zhujiajiao features, walking slowly along the lane, dumplings and bar smell of meat flavor come coveted thirty feet. The most comfortable walking slowly along the river, sometimes leisurely cruise while over there, because the river is not wide, even in the shore and feel the same as in the passing around.
Zhujiajiao gone through so many attractions, the most favorite thing is the Qing post office, though not large, but both the decorations or the historical introduction, both Man You mind, and inside there are many postmen then used tools, We are also not polite to pick up the props, back to when a postman, and have a hidden one, almost did not post this Qing falling out, and depriving the manager quickly coming to stop, but it was too late carry on!
Static order for us to taste the local specialty dishes, specially the first point of Xianggan Malan, steamed white silk fish, but also to the usually did not dare eat the puffer fish, the taste was quite delicious, and no wonder so many people enjoy the adventure and, of course mouth-watering dumplings, and rolling the meat, and bread to eat after the meal, we will back to Shanghai zone.
5:00 more, and finally return to the town, we quickly packed up in preparation to go to Hangzhou by.
The encounter on the train gang arrived in Guangzhou, Shanghai backpack are also at noon, and had an appointment to meet, but we have to overnight rushed to Hangzhou, and had a margin of saving face.
Jing and her friends to send us cars, but also features a move in Shanghai with our words of exhortations did not understand the drivers will take us to our destination station. Oh, that scene is really a bit touched, and quickly got into the car, waved goodbye.
2 days in Shanghai, because there are static free guided tours of this profession, do not let us how much it cost to get comfortable in the heart of Shanghai tour, because she, so that we have a better understanding of Shanghai, we all love this City, perhaps this love has nothing to do with the city, just because the city has static!
Or we finally caught up with the last train to Hangzhou, 6:50's high-speed, 8:50 arrived in Hangzhou, a place known as paradise on earth.
In the vicinity of the station looking for the hotel stay there, and then sit bus to look for the West Lake. Not Chuihuizhili, we found a lake, but a little disappointed, West Lake is engaged in infrastructure, is really too unpleasant. West Lake at night is nothing the United States, the lake has also been seen in the contaminated lake were quite severe, the water is dirty, and really do not know how to describe the mood at this moment!
Out of the West Lake, we shall proceed in a strange wandering the streets, aimlessly, and eventually going around in circles a few times to switch to cars, before returning to residence, is 11 points more.
Town Shaoxing
February 5, luggage storage at the station, high-speed 9:45 to Shaoxing, arrived around 10:30.
Shaoxing to cultural landscape rich in scenic rivers and lakes known. Shaoxing is small, but it is a place where outstanding people, talent, Yu, Yue Gou, the poet He Zhizhang, Lu You, as well as Qiu Jin, Tsai Yuan-pei, Zhou Enlai, Lu Xun, these familiar names with a small share of Shaoxing ways.
We He Zhizhang temple to the former residence of Zhou Enlai, from 100 to Sanwei thatched cottage, to Shen Park, we have experienced as a space-time.
Ham enjoy the hotel entrance, we are grinning arm around Yiji to a photo, but also filled with his thin fingers sandwiched try to steal the beans flavored with aniseed. It seems that Yiji still pretty affected by modern welcome.
In the Sanwei, occasionally listening to a tour guide for visitors and Zhou Zuo-ren ZHOU Shu-introduction of two brothers, only one sentence: this is jen, is a big traitor! Alas, too radical a bar! Considers it "Brothers writer," a book on Zhou Zuoren fairly balanced assessment, although the brothers eventually went so far as running counter to, the outcome is also a clear difference between a person's choosing a different path, there will be a different life, and we regret Zhou Zuo-ren strayed into astray, but we can not deny his great contribution to literary circles. Just as "Brother writer" says: who wanted to, blood brothers, both the rise in literary circles; who wanted to, blood brothers Numuxiangxiang a result, Yang dart lanes. However, the brother of a generation lasts ... not ... should not forget that Mr. Lu Xun! Zhou Zuo-ren should not be forgotten! History is just!
Shen Lu You and Tang Wan Park, due to the love tragedy spread so far, a "Chaitou Feng", is unhappy and worried revenge, it is sigh.
Crisp red wine, yellow wine Teng, everybody in town Spring wall Liu. Dongfeng evil, and loves of a thin, one pregnant with melancholy, a few years away from the ropes. Wrong, wrong, wrong!
Spring, such as the old man an empty thin, tear raw silk red silk shark thoroughly. Peach ups and downs, leisure pools Court, Mountain League Although, Kam book difficult to care. Mo, Mo, Mo!
World Love thin, human evil, the rain sent the evening to spend easy to drop. Xiaofeng dried my tears disability, want to笺feelings soliloquy oblique bar. Difficult, difficult, hard!
People into all, this non-yesterday, the sick soul seems a long swing ropes. Kok Sheng Han, Ye Lan gate, for fear of inquiries, pharyngeal tears Huan installed. Hiding, hiding, hiding!
Sun inside the bloom, in the bare garden proudly in full bloom, the smell of incense, as if the dash has also weakened the Tang Wan sorrow.
Shaoxing is really quite a rich cultural landscape, while sitting in the river, watching the boatman wearing Ukrainian hat, insisted on Wu Pengchuan interludes in the narrow river, is a rare landscape, but river the water is not dare to compliment , as we have just entered the Lu Xun Road, at the junction of the river, the water was dirty, miserable, but also tucked Yi Gu Smelly taste of the river fleet has a group of people washing clothes, cleaning the toilet ... ... we are in front of scenarios stunned.
The old buildings on both sides of the river has also been depleted, and there is a large old houses are being demolished, the was very desolate. We had a hidden order, but also take a trip Wu Pengchuan, in the narrow channel in the leisurely forward, but also quite pleasant, but the river water is foul, sitting in on board can also feel really too unpleasant, beautiful rivers and lakes have a negative reputation!
Dream Xitang
February 6
The morning, luggage storage, and bought a ticket to the noon Xitang, taking advantage of idle, in Hangzhou in crowded crowded BUS, stroll the bustling Jiefang.
1:10, we went to Xitang. 3:15 and went into Xitang of.
We have come at just the right time to withdraw the tour began, visitors gradually reduced, Xitang slowly calmed down.
We do not buy a ticket, nor a hurry to find place to live, it is so wandering around aimlessly, see the bridge on before, see the road left, the evening Xitang very quiet, we stop-go, through the Rain in a long Gallery, walked sons Laifeng bridge, unknowingly came to burn in Hong Kong, suddenly see the opposite of the "water-Yang F," Man You characteristics, then walked across, they find that it is a private development of attractions, man of the house was a teacher, his daughter from childhood schooling painting, calligraphy, but also received numerous awards and a talk about her daughter, the hostess smiles no-stop, home furnishings was very antique, and hanging scrolls are his daughter, from small to large works in the garden after a small, but also collection of the works of man of the house favorite: pot King.
Yang floor standing water on the second floor balcony, overlooking the bridge not far from Dr. Chen, facing the cool of the evening breeze, was very pleasant.
Hostess in that we do not get a place to stop over, the strongly recommended that her family's house diagonally across from the Inn --- Dongping guest houses, the master is a teacher --- Feng ink painting teacher, but only one room , and at night can take us out wandering. It sounds quite a attractive, so he went to see, the environment is also good, the window is the courtyard, the room furnishings are antique furniture, there is a Qing Dynasty Antiquities --- Xiang Fei couch, the room hanging from are von teacher's works, and we immediately decided to live down.
We also return to gallery misty rain, when the shed on the winding corridors of the lanterns have been lighted up, and in the ring used the meal hall, 7:30 we boarded the night cruise on board only five visitors, I sat in the bow , watching the river and built according to Lang Peng, roaming among the scenery and the building of houses, as well as both sides of the faint red faint red lanterns, the reflection in the river, good one Xitang night!
There is only us a river cruise, very calm and enjoy the night view of the two sides, listening to the gurgling of the water boatman sound --- Xitang finally calmed down. Peng ships head out, it was found roaming the sky with us for l'etoile. I was very excited for a long time never seen such a bright Star, and also attend to cold, just lying on the bow, watching the sky of stars, distant thoughts back to childhood, the number of stars, full moon ... ... looking at the Star , a sky full of stars, as in follow me, close your eyes and feel the sky's stars face the pressure to me, Chuaner swaying gently in the water, my heart will be also Xitang the night sky flying ... ...
Really want to have the swing down, calm, secure, feeling terrific!
8:00, back to guest houses, to join the teachers and the other three von tenant, and we party 7 took two flashlights, night wore on we get the activity.
Xitang large, are said to have three Zhouzhuang so large, there are more than 120 of the lane, each lane has its own story, many rich families some time off at the end of history, there is a haunted story. Walking in the dark alley, listening to the chilling ghost stories, we are all screaming, and yet not dare to run around.
Ni gone through a dark alley, Lee Lanes, Ke get home ... ... we do not know how many get passed, and retrace the Rain in gallery, the other three tenants, susceptibility to, and we should first go back to rest, we returning them to guest houses, four individuals to continue our trip to get dressed.
Anyway, gas points are thicker. In an alley where they are interested in the acceleration of the pace, I was a man thrown to the inside of the lanes and alleys, any how I cry, nor turn back, I had to slowly groping, and finally touched exports, and the kind of bright future Joy let me forget to blame specially Shuaixia my teachers and companions of Feng.
We started trying to not open flashlight, in the dark lanes and alleys where the dark forward, just started a little bit is not used to slowly adapt to the dark feeling, eyes closed as if groping forward, we are so narrow and secluded Lanes where a long felt with their breathing, listening to his footsteps, looking forward to the front of the house esoteric transmission out of the courtyard wall of the tiny moon, there is that small parties l'etoile ... ...
Through the most exciting thing of that section of the Royal Lanes, Lanes narrow, twisty and the threshold will be done, Feng teacher in front, we are holding a one followed, we all hold your breath, not daring to make sound, we came only Lanes footsteps gently forward, there are the occasional teachers there came from the von signal: Be careful threshold, turning carefully, be careful on the ground inside a pit ... ... a long time, have got used to not see five fingers that reach out of the dark feeling, With that we feel, in the secluded dark Lanes where a long slow walk through, this moment, the heart is a calm, never had a calm, because they know the darkness in the past years, light on the front. About 20 minutes, we are finally out of the Royal Lanes, and then re-see a sky full of l'etoile.
We spent more than 4 hours, in Xitang night, daytime and the wearing away more than 30 large and small, get, gone through a number of bridges, nor remember. Xitang quiet at this time, with only our four ghost-like night in wandering.
Peer wrote: think that we normally walk like a ghost of a dead in the Lanes. I said: The Lanes dead just because we do have the specter of it is even more angry.
Drill End Lane, but also do not feel thoroughly enjoyed themselves, followed by von teacher secretly climbing to the sons Laifeng bridge under bridges, under bridges sit parked in the boat, Feng teacher came specifically to buy rice wine, there is no cup, we shall take a bottle of drinking one mouthful, chatting, and we have known each other a long time, as a friend and there are no distance. We let Chuaner gently Dangzhao, listening to the teacher's story of Feng, and everything related Xitang ... ...
We are all surprised Xitang old could not find the old granite stone road, unexpected is that these ancient granite rock in the 80 years to sell all of the Grand View Garden in Shanghai. Xitang now 60% have been destroyed, with only 40% is more complete, still living in the town where the original inhabitants about 2 million people, and many of the houses rented to workers from the rural areas out of the person who .
Feng teacher pointed head, has ever been Laifeng bridge, this bridge with the gender of newborn babies is okay, the only bridge at that time, the feng shui masters had their shop to wait for the Phoenix flew the first one on the slate was auspicious. So looking at the horizon and other craftsmen on the emergence of Phoenix, all the way to see that there are only birds and sailing over, that the Phoenix came, hastened to put the first piece of slate covered with, and who knows it's not Phoenix, but an unknown black birds, had no choice but to continue to bridge capped with stone, and covered on the fourth block, the Phoenix flew in from the horizon. The bridge was originally named "Laifeng Bridge", but because the bird in front of Blackbird, so the children will be deemed to be the first to step in Phoenix and later renamed the "sons Laifeng bridge." But now the bridge is rebuilt, but also widened, lengthened, the original bridge is very small and very short, stone is also sold 80 years of Grand View Garden of Shanghai.
The dead of night, hiding under bridges swing of the boat, drinking Jiashan rice wine, listening to the teacher speaks tirelessly on von Xitang everything just like in a dream, like ... ...
Middle of the night's Xitang, can people remove all of the armed forces, there is no distance between people in the most authentic of all their own to face, no fake ornaments, wanted to laugh to laugh, cry cry, like a quiet on the sat blankly, no one will care about you at this time to reveal all natural, and no one would go to stop it all ... ...
Late at night, we climbed up from under the flyover bridge, through gallery where Litou out from the dim lantern light, there is the moonlight for us to lead the way, we are slowly swing back to guest houses, and this time, has been in the morning The 2:00 a.
Xitang late night, heart, the expansive in.
Up the next morning, bid farewell to von teacher, or a promenade along the Rain in Xiangwai Zou.
Xitang the morning than the evening even more dynamic, small bridges, misty veil, gently enveloped the Xitang, a ray of sun in the river slowly moving forward, coupled with the door every household coal stoves plume of blue smoke, thick thick breath of life head-on hit, Xitang has ushered in a most vibrant of the morning to everyone.
Huanxiu sitting on the bridge, watching the calm river, the immediate is a morning Xitang landscapes, without concentrated loading, but Dan Ma, is already a superior ink, it is endless intoxication.
So I sat in the bridge, leaving time to slowly flow away a long time refused to leave, which broke away!
However, even what kind of Nanshe, or should leave.
9:40, riding back to Hangzhou car arrived around 11:00. A playmate to be rushed to Nanjing, unless we have this, and then travel Lingyin Temple.
Today is the beginning of seven may be the relationship between the Temple head milling around, and klippe is many people, however, is we have only a mosquito Lex Buddha, look a little harder to go for a back, retrace the West Lake on the edge of the broken bridge on the walk, if not in a hurry, then thin down the broken bridge is also a pretty good feel for Xihu, perhaps, is the season we choose not to, I think, the spring Jiangnan, Luk Lau drooping of the West Lake will be more beautiful.
Remembered, "Yi Jiangnan, most recalls is Hangzhou", I shook my head, I can not appreciate that mood.
5:15, with the disappointment of Hangzhou, we continue to move toward Wuzhen, 6:25, in the rain and Wuzhen meet the.
At this time dark, rain, cold, we were a bit hesitant, rent tricycle into the ancient city has been unable to re-drifters us, quickly find the morning Xitang encounter a pair of couples from Shenzhen introduced residential telephone, so that Then uncle came to pay us.
Very quickly, we have to pay uncle who lives in East Street, under the (Oh, also saving tomorrow's tickets), to pay Uncle passion to help us settled baggage, obtaining our consent, let aunt prepared dinner for us.
Is still raining outside, coupled with out so many days, but also tired and nest in the pay uncle's home, eating delicious dishes done Auntie, and pay Uncle chatting, the warm, just like at home, have a home feeling. In this way we nest in the house, Wuzhen night do not bother to look at, and another night of beauty, but also compare that feeling of home Well!
In a rainy night in Wuzhen, sweet to fall asleep by.
Feelings of Wuzhen
February 8, woke up, thinking that would usher in the early morning rain, To her surprise, opened curtains, a red sun was slowly rising through the mist, gently spilled in the window. So I stood blankly a window, watching the sun slowly rises ... ...
Uncle paid out of the house, we started down the river roam by. Houses built along the riverside, shops not open at this time Wuzhen, quietly, almost see a few people moving around, the river water is calm and clean. We also walked quietly, for fear alerted to this quiet morning, sometimes sit in the gallery, sometimes sitting on the bridge, watching the shadows across the houses that people shaking a daze.
Wander for a long time, 10 points more, shops are only sparse and open, we are all lamenting how the people here than we relaxed!
Unknowingly has all gone to pay back door uncle, aunt to meet us back, busy let us into the warm room, we wish to complain about the shop aunt did not open the door too late at night when the aunt smiled Wanle Yao: In the ancient town can not just open shop, shops are in town on the other side. Imitation we suddenly realize, is no wonder that such a quiet town, there is no point in commercial atmosphere, very much like the relaxed, peaceful feeling.
Aunt called a breakfast for us --- lamb noodles, tastes great, even the usually do not like my face and called a bowl of noodles to eat that is not left. And then bid farewell to pay Uncle and Aunt, rented a tricycle to stroll Legend has it that "genuine," West Street, as yet been developed, still retains its original style, said to be "Tianxialiangcang" is also filmed here, but on the dirty river water was terrible, and the river that had been dead water Piaoman duckweed is really upsetting!
When the driver made a special return trip took us to see the millennium, when the Tang Dynasty, ginkgo, there were reportedly 1,250 years old, and I tried to the amount of volume, Oh, I was able to cling to four.
From Wuzhen out around 1:00, we stopped in to Nanxun of the CMB, about half an hour had come, but also did not expect the station so far away from the scenic area, we are carrying a heavy backpack, and take a big half an hour to find the so-called area, did not feel very good, can not find the taste of a little town, despite coming Nanxun the car, hit a pair from Shenzhen couple, who spent last night in Nanxun that night is a very good Nanxun However, we decided to slip --- immediately!
Pedicab driver really black, a few minutes to the trip said it was very far, but also tells us that there is to the same station where the car, to know deceived, and simply do not, gas!
Asked the station selling tickets to her surprise, he was staring eyes: would I know!
Finally, we decided to first go to sub-car Wujiang Tongli. Immediately bought a ticket and asked him where the car, he had said: random!
Then an aunt standing in soliciting behind me, facing, he said: This is two of our cars take a good customer with a.
I looked at him puzzled: Yes, so?
He stared at me: what can not it? !
I almost was not being gas halo, and this other matter, or the first time encountered, absurd!
No way, bite the bullet on the car. 4:00 start until 5:00 into the Wujiang City station. Interchange at the station immediately to the same inside.
In the same years out of the car, was again a trishaw driver, a hole for a back side of the car found in the Rift black, driver side of the ancient city in Zhejiang province is still considered fair.
We are on the Bridge next to the King Yee Tang Inn stay there, where the environment is quiet, has a small front garden, the park has also planted bloom, egg flower, Manyuan fragrance, room was clean.
A short break, we began to wander in the same. On the same night where very quiet, and the roads are deserted, and we still consistent style of walking aimlessly along the river, thin body odor for this silence of the night.
Zhouzhuang, Tongli imprint roaming
February 9
Get up early, go out alone, sitting Bridge side, facing the Weiliang the morning breeze, feeling the early morning quiet. Quiet river, ships had just finished the fish caught outside the river boats, as well as several specialized fishing herons, have become the town looking for the focus of landscape photography enthusiasts, watching the scenery they are busy chasing shadows was very pleasant!
Today, we still do not Maimen Piao, uniform did not want to see more of the landscape has been, still prefer to stroll around.
Criss-cross the same river inside, feeling a bit disorderly, and we can, and the streets almost all Guangbian, and thin with a taste of the "Oriental Venice" said the same years. Tired, sat on the promenade side of the bridge Chiang family, basking in warm sunshine, watching the boats cruise across, written on a postcard to a friend and enjoy our delicious lunch, I really have "stolen lives half a day" in mood.
As we sat idly ramp, watching the scenery, a cruise through the ship, a boy waving to us: taste good?
We waved his hand: Great!
He felt his stomach, exposing the painful expression: it is empty, you can not say that the ordinary general do?
Us laugh: the hungry on the last to eat ah, do not starving!
He tease to say: You are down by boat ah, good comfort!
We are angry at him: As early sat啦!
He was not convinced: sit once a啦!
We laughed a: Well, the money you give ah!
At this time, ship has already sailed out for a long time, leaving only a corridor on the crowd's laughter, Zhen Dou!
1:00 or so, farewell Inn owner, carrying a heavy pack, out of the quiet of the Ya-Jing Yi Jing-tang, squeezed into the CMB to Zhouzhuang to Suzhou, Zhouzhuang junction in off immediately after a taxi into the city area, This time, we have no free riders.
Zhouzhuang is surrounded by water, and Zhujiajiao is intricately linked with the river from the lake are mountains and rivers, is a typical "well" type of rivers and lakes, because river into the street, riverside house-building. "Courtyard, heavy ridge of high eaves, He Bu Langfang, arcades across the street, wearing bamboo stone balustrades, Linhe Shuige, antique, Lishui town one", is a major feature of Zhouzhuang Water Village.
Walk in Zhouzhuang narrow streets, crowded, coupled with a heavy backpack, it is tiring. A break in the bridge, continue to find a place settled.
Finally, we stay there in the king's court, it was the former residence of Shen Lan body, from the direct management of a local travel company, the local is not large, there are two, there is a small courtyard, quite elegant, the room furniture is antique, although the prices were cut down by half, it still felt a little expensive, but also value for money.
The luggage down, you can easily wander by.
This time, Zhouzhuang, a time when tourism peaks, bustling, and no peace. Also do a river cruise, and the boatman singing non-stop flying over the river, robust. We decided to come before the bar travels about sites to avoid waste.
When the Office has completed, Shen, Zhang Hall, South Lake Park, the whole Temple, full-time Fota already dusk, and then began to withdraw the tour, visitors are also less slowly, and lively Zhouzhuang is also gradually calmed down. We have also slowed down, and makes the quiet enjoyment of the moment. Sitting on the bridge, sun spill over the river, dim dim, reminiscent of: the sun is infinitely good, but near dusk.
Inspired by sun, we went to rich Onkyo is said to then Prime Minister Zhu Rongji and walked three times in the rich Onkyo, it Lianshengsanji, and Haha, as much as many people to come away, it seems this year could be a lot of people to upgrade . We are also to be outdone, has also gone, but did not has completed three times, too many people, but also very tired.
Dark down, Linhe also light lanterns outside the house up, and the reflection in the river, but also a night map rivers and lakes. We picked a riverside restaurant to sit down. Idly leaning against a chair, facing the wind, watching the reflection of lanterns swaying in the water, enjoy a rich and delicious dinner, comfortable, freehand! Is often sing-song coming to tout for business, destroyed the peace of mind.
Braving starry, marching faint moonlight, along the river, slowly TOURS back to Inn.
Back to the king's court, and administrators the old man talked for a long time, but also have a deeper understanding of Zhouzhuang, especially from the old man who embodied the peace and good-soon, so in a foreign land, I feel very close.
Drift of the heart, a peaceful night in Zhouzhuang calm down, Enron fall asleep.
Luzhi feeling
February 10
Because like the town early morning, up early, or a person ran out of king's court, days actually inundated with a slight drizzle, the original last night, we looked on the endless night rain fall asleep, and no wonder so intoxicated sweet!
It borrowed from the old man leaning on an umbrella, a man leisurely walking in the wet Lu Lu in the streets, floating rain hit your face, cold cold. Not many pedestrians on the road, I am the only one who innocently wandering in the alley the rain, reminds me of Shu Ting's Rain Lane: You Zhisan deep Rain Lane Lilac Lane insisted on the same girl. Although I am not that girl like cloves, but it felt like in mood.
Once again, we stepped out of king's court, there is no umbrella, facing the drizzle, walking in the slippery shiny lanes, roaming the, unexpected, the shops are open early in the morning of, and this in other town is hard to see, Zhouzhuang people are industrious, as the old man said: Zhouzhuang people have been working with, so that Zhouzhuang more beautiful, though many people are criticizing the Zhouzhuang strong business atmosphere, but it is because of commercial, Zhouzhuang only the present prosperity! Zhouzhuang Zhouzhuang people would rather be proud of! Consider also the Old Town, but also the survival, development, and left the business, still remains a few hundred years ago, there will be town living space?
Meng Meng Zhouzhuang enjoy the misty rain, watching the early morning figure has been busy with our leisurely pace sloshing the formation of a strong contrast, if we can not melt into here, obviously is a passing, but also wear colored眼镜,批判着太浓的商业气息抹杀了水乡的风韵,却不曾想,熙熙攘攘的我们,也已打破了古镇的宁静与平和。
其实周庄的悠闲与宁静,只有当心灵纯净与平和时,才能真正的感受到。
11:00,游人如织了,周庄又开始热闹起来了。我们也收拾好行装,告别了热情的老伯,走向车站,12:00,坐上苏州的车前往甪直。
1:00左右,我们已抵甪直。与在车上结识的一对来自广州的夫妇,一起同游甪直,依然是没有买门票。
甪直有着“水巷小桥多,人家尽枕河”的意境,旅游开发还不是太发达,游人也不多,只有一条的商业街,但很多还是卖当地的生活用品的,没什么商业味道,小桥、流水、人家依然,河道不宽,水也平静,不过还是觉得有点脏,绕过了商业街,走在一点商业味都没有的小巷,我们还是漫无目的的闲逛着,荡到了万盛米行附近,却见到了难得的风景,桥头尽是写生者,在其他的古镇,扛着三角架,到处找风景的摄影发烧友才是古镇的风景,这里竟是写生者!
站在他们的身后,观赏着他们的画,感受着他们笔下的甪直,同一景,不同的角度,不同的触角,展现出不同的意境,不觉感慨万千。正如有人说:甪直太静,没意思!也有人说:甪直是最舒服的,是所有古镇中最具古镇味道的。正如画者的触觉!
我也觉得甪直是最舒服的,那一种淡泊,平和,是别的水乡古镇所不能媲美的!难怪那么多的写生之人,云集在甪直的小巷、桥头、长廊,以他们独特的触觉,绘画着心中的甪直!
天,还在飘着雨,风也强劲了。 4:00左右,我们一行4人,坐车赶往苏州,4:40,我们在观前街下车了,那是苏州的中心地段,有点象上海的南京路,名店云集,却少了上海的高楼大厦,灯火辉煌,淡淡的散发着平和的气息。
气温骤降,雨下得大,我们冒着雨,终于在承德客栈安顿下来了,然后冒着寒雨在附近闲逛,然后找地方慰劳一下胃。
正当我们美美的大吃一顿时,三毛发来了他那边的消息:哈哈,镇江下雪了!
气得我只有瞪眼睛的份:快让雪停了,等我们过来!
南京也传来了正下着大雪的消息,而苏州却是:雨,一直的下!
雪中苏州又见三毛
February 11
一早起来,同伴拉开窗帘,突然惊叫:下雪啦!
我们马上从床上跳起来,惊叫着,围着窗,不顾一切的打开窗户,感受着雪后的寒流,望着雪压枝头,屋顶白雪黑檐,一个雪的世界,就在眼前。
第一次见雪的我们,兴奋得有点手舞足蹈了,然后以最快的速度走到马路上,但路上的雪已被扫除了,只余枝头上的雪在风中摇曳。
事不宜迟,我们马上打车前往车站,把行李寄存了,然后直奔木渎古镇,途中路过报恩塔,我们再也按纳不住了,极力的要求司机大哥停车,一定要先睹为快,在路旁尽情的玩了一回。
经过寒山寺,司机大哥说不必进去看,只在外面看看就行了,而我们的心也早已飞到木渎,所以继续往木渎进发。
很快的,看到木渎了,里面全是雪,白茫茫一片,好一个银装素裹的雪的世界!
我们踏着雪向里面走,才走几步,同伴已在开战了,手捧着大块大块的雪在雪地上追逐,象烂漫的小孩,路上尽是我们的欢笑声,尖叫声,惹得路过的行人频频回首。
其实木渎已寻不到古镇的痕迹了,小桥、流水也很少,同游的广州的朋友找了半天也没找到一个可以拍摄的镜头,要不是这一场雪,木渎真的是白来了。
失望的从木渎出来,坐车去西山,西山被誉为“太湖明珠”,是淡水湖泊中最大的岛屿,车子一直的走在太湖湖畔,走过了中国内湖第一长桥——太湖大桥,渐近西山,两旁梅花嫣然,虽然只是稀疏的几株开着,已令人兴奋不已。
西山脚下,打车前往石公山,一边是太湖边上的芦苇荡,一边是处处梅花,有万亩梅海著称,据司机说,这里的梅园比光福的要大3倍,虽然下了一夜的雪,近处却少有雪的痕迹,只见远处山上白茫茫的。梅花还没全开,每当看到梅花满枝,我们都激动得跳起来,频频的让司机把车停下来,也顾不上寒风凛洌,一会冲下湖边,躲在芦苇中,与太湖亲密接触,一会冲进梅林,疯狂的叫着,跑着,那傻劲直逗得司机笑弯了腰。要是满园梅花竟开,“雪海梅林,香飘万里”的意境,我们不知道会疯狂成什么样了。
心满意足的拿着司机从树上剪下的梅花,折回苏州城内,打车去了虎丘,那有“吴中第一名胜”之称,望向山顶,虎丘斜塔在雪中更显苍桑,雪中斜塔的意境,当然也成了摄影发烧友必照的风景了,广州的朋友也在忙着捕捉镜头,我和同伴则在玩着砌雪人,小小的,可爱极了!捧着可爱的雪人放在他们的镜头前,逗得他们都大笑起来。
走到高处,一阵风掠过,树上的雪纷纷扬扬的飘下,我们如临大雪纷飞的世界。我们备受感染,又开始疯起来了,象一群长不大的孩子,奔跑在林中小道上,摇动着每一棵树,疯狂的制造着人工降雪,站在树底下,感受着雪迎面打下的快意,雪,肆意迎风飘舞着,飘落在头上,身上,也悄悄的融化在鞋子上,直冻得脚僵僵的。
从虎丘下来,坐上去拙政园的公车。
拙政园不愧是园林中的精品,园子大而错落有致,虽不见鸟语,却能随时闻到花香,水榭楼阁,无论从哪个角度,都是入画的好景色,虽没有皇家花园的气派,但别有一番滋味,尤其是暮雪中的拙政园,清幽雅致,令人流连忘返,甚至不必在意景点的由来,悠闲的慢慢浏览,都能体会到它的独具匠心,小巧玲珑中见其大气。如有时间花上一天的时间在里面细细品味,那更是惬意。
走出拙政园,赶到车站,取回行李,在附近找了地方坐下,一整天没吃饭了,要医治一下胃了,而且,此后我们和广州的朋友就要分道扬镖了,他们继续走上海,而我们就赶往镇江。
难得的是,途中遇到他们,加上遇到了这一场雪,在苏州来说也是3年来难得一见的,幸运的让我们碰上了,瑞雪好兆年,也因为这场雪,让我们的旅途增添不少的乐趣,而且还遇到如此好玩的游伴,更是幸运,难得!
告别广州的朋友,晚上9:00左右,我们到达镇江,又见到三毛了,哈,竟比在云南时帅多了!本来我要将我细心呵护了一天的梅花送给三毛的,只可惜在最后一刻竟遗落在拙政园,看来梅花也爱上了这园林,我也只好割爱!
找地方坐下,三毛还是要来了啤酒,又喝得我昏昏的。
今晚我们就宿在江苏大学。
Zhenjiang
February 12
早上起来,三毛带我们在江苏大学里闲逛,校园很大,还有很多的腊梅呢,幽香扑鼻,园内的雪还没融化,我们又来劲了,捧起大块的雪在校园内追逐。
来到市区,打听了回程的火车票,没着落,看来今晚得赶去南京了。
然后坐公车去了金山公园,门票贵,金山也是因为“白娘子水漫金山寺”这个神话故事而家喻户晓,寺庙是依山而建,殿堂楼台层层相接,但是要上塔顶还要另外收门票,我也懒得上,没什么意思。唯一有兴趣的是:白龙洞里有一条小小的隧道,据说直通到杭州的西湖,有点好奇!
然后回到市区,在市内闲逛。
下午6:45,告别三毛,前往南京。 8:00左右,到达南京。赶快走向火车站,此时的火车站是人多为患,艰难的挤上2楼的售票厅,等了很久,才买到2张14日晚上的票,好惨,是硬座,到18日的卧铺都已售完,唉,算了,有得坐已不错了。
因之前先到南京的游伴的极力推荐,我们决定今晚宿在南京大学内。
由于人生地不熟,加上已很晚了,我们背着沉重的行装,费了九牛二虎的气力,10:00多才在南大找到地方落脚,放下行李,人已累得不能动了,但晚上走在南大的校园的感觉还是蛮好的。正如游伴推荐的,很舒服!但也感慨,那是我无法圆的梦!
Nanjing Day Tours
February 13
昨晚的空调不暖,冻了一夜,几乎是一夜无眠,早上起来,怕时间不够,决定跟当地的一日游。
由于我们决定得太晚,团一早就出发了,已游了总统府和梅园了。
中途加入,马上直奔朝天宫,走马观花的逛了一圈,来到玄武湖已是中午了,吃过午餐,在湖边走了一会,没有什么特别的感觉,很一般的湖,有点萧条,倒时车往回走时经过的一段古城墙印象很深,足有20多公里,这是南京城保留得最完好、最长的古城墙。而墙上的砖都刻有出处,到今仍能模糊辨出是当时哪家砖窑的出品,呵呵,远古的时代已有了如此严谨的责任制,难怪城墙屹立经年,仍然不倒。从城墙边走过,一股苍桑涌上心头。
车子来到中山陵,那是孙中山先生的陵墓,一路的往上走,两旁尽是郁郁葱葱的雪松,那是南京的市树,没有冬天的感觉,心情也豁然开朗。走过392级的石阶,才来到孙中山先生的祭堂,里面孙中山先生的白玉卧像,而孙中山先生就葬在这下面,当年蒋介石逃离南京时也曾想把孙中山先生的遗体带走,但由于遗体被水泥密封着,才没能搬走。南京在经历南京大屠杀也保存得完整无缺,只在墓前的石狮子上留下了几个弹孔,那是因为孙中山先生生前在日本有着很多的朋友,日本打进南京时,有很多的日本人力争,才让中山陵没遭到战火的洗礼。
其实中山陵除了孙中山先生的陵墓外,周围还是很大的,而且环境清幽怡人,如果有时间在里面呆上一天慢慢游荡,也该是一个不错的选择,游中山陵本该就是慢慢的在里面走走,里面很有灵气,让人心情舒畅,是修心养性的不可多得的好地方。
踏着黄昏,我们来到了夫子庙,观赏了黄昏的秦淮河风光,但已没有了当时“富贾云集,青楼林立,画舫凌波”的景象了,但颇具古城风味。然后离团,在夫子庙闲逛,感受着当时市井的繁荣,品尝着街头小吃,还特意尝了鸭血汤粉,味道蛮不错的。也正逢举行夫子庙灯会,张灯结彩的,热闹非常!所以夫子庙的门票也贵,也就不进去了,只在外流连。走过乌衣巷,与瞻园擦肩而过,来到了花灯夜市,看着人们手提灯笼的从身边走过,感受着节日喜悦的气氛,真想也点几个灯笼凑凑热闹。
临近元宵,眼前灯笼如海,望着花灯下的秦淮河夜景,思家之情油然而生。
步出夫子庙,来到南京的商业重地---新街口,感受着南京现代化的繁荣,这里商厦林立,人来人往,好不热闹!
南京有着古老悠久的文化遗产,也是现代文明的经济都市,但现在处处在搞基建,街头乱糟糟的,整个南京就象一个大地盘,让人倍感遗憾。
感受扬州
February 14
为着“天下三分明月夜,二分无赖是扬州”,一早起来,行李寄存火车站,马不停蹄的赶往扬州。
9:40的车,11:00已抵。
感觉扬州很小,只有一条主街道,市内也没有想象中美。我们不用花太多的时间,也不需要地图,已找到了瘦西湖。
瘦西湖,名如其形,一个“瘦”字,就能把她的神韵描绘得淋漓尽致,与其说是湖,倒不如道是河还来得贴切。也正因为这个“瘦”,才能体会“两堤花柳全依水,一路楼台直到山”的意境。可惜正值冬天,完全看不到两堤花依水的画面。
情人节的今天,下着寒雨,瘦西湖一片烟雨朦朦。我们淋着雨,沿着十里长堤游荡,风夹着雨毫不留情的打向我们,冷!但感觉还真爽,整个瘦西湖边没几个游人,很宁静,很舒服。如果不是寒雨交加,泛舟湖上,那是何等的快意!
冬日的瘦西湖有点苍凉,但她的宁静美,是西湖不能媲美的,走在曲折的长堤上,每一角度都是一幅妙然天成的水墨画,加上细雨纷飞,景致若隐若现,更增添她的朦胧美。
环肥燕瘦,用来形容杭州西湖和扬州的瘦西湖是最恰当不过的,但我更喜欢瘦西湖,那是一个世外桃源,美不胜收,令人流连忘返!
依依不舍的从瘦西湖走出来,远观了不远处的大明寺,然后坐公车前往何园。
何园又称寄啸山庄,园林船厅、楼廊、花木错落有致,布局深得步移景换,虽地处城区,一墙之内却清风自生,幽远宁静,园内建筑中西合壁,室内布置雅致,置身其中,备受主人的闲雅之气感染。最爱还是这里二楼曲折的长廊,连接了园内的所有的建筑,足有千米的空中长廊,堪称园林建筑艺术的上乘佳作。
从扬州回到南京已是下午6:00多了,本想趁着那段空闲逛逛热闹的湖南路了,只可惜雨势颇大,我们又没有雨伞,冒雨找更是难上加难,只好在新街口随意逛逛,购备粮草上火车。
今天的新街口热闹非凡,挤满了手执鲜花的情侣,加上雨意浓,更是浪漫,真的是羡煞旁人。无奈,只好继续赶我们的路了。
11:03,踏上了回广州的火车,呵呵,该说是硬挤上了火车的。我终于见识了火车硬座的恐怖场面了,人人都在为一小寸放行李的地方而争吵不休,几乎要动武,可怕!
我和同伴的位子是分开的,我那厢是和5个大男人坐在一起的。我抱着大大的背包站在座位前不知所措,或许是因为我一脸的茫然与无助,旁边厢的一个好心的大叔告诉我他旁边的位子没人坐的,我可以坐过去(他那厢是4个人坐的),见我东张西望的找地方放行李,就帮我把行李搬上了行李架,关照的让我坐到他那边的座位上,而此时坐在我对面的那个可恶的男人还没等我坐下就一只臭脚架在了我的座位上了,我根本不能坐下去,只好坐到旁边大叔那边了。
安置好了,累了,就趴在桌子上睡觉,大叔见我这样趴着实在太累,就让我坐在里面的位置,他说这样趴着睡舒服点,真感激大叔的热心肠!
火车惊魂
February 15
昨晚虽然有地方趴着睡,还是睡得很累,而且在朦胧中,听到车厢有人在吵架,继而是动粗,最后一刻才知道就是我旁边的大叔差点没揪着那人打了,我根本不知道之前发生了什么事,只是突然觉得有点可怕。此时我发现我的身上竟披着大叔的大衣,一股感激之情涌上了心头,悬着的心终于放下来了,不再觉得大叔可怕了,反而觉得暖暖的,我没有问他事由,或许是因为他在捍卫着我们这一厢的方寸地盘,他可是一夜无眠,我让他坐里面歇歇,他总说他不累,让我一直的睡在里面。可能是因为一路风雨相伴,当夜深时,怕我着凉,还把他的大衣给我披上了,让我暖暖的入眠。
因为这一役,对面的两个男孩也对大叔恭敬有加,包括整个车厢的人也是对他客客气气的,让我们觉得有如在树荫下一样安心。
聊起来才知道大叔是南京人,他的话不多,但总是关心的让我多睡一会,自己累了就靠在椅子上稍微闭目养神。当我醒来时总会发现大叔的大衣又披在了我的身上。
后来对面的男孩在江西下车,在大叔的安排下,同伴也坐到我们这边来了。
我们一直在大叔的庇护下安全到达广州,也没有留下任何的联系方式,直到走出火车站,他还走过来与我们话别,让我们一路走好,然后一个人走了。
真没想到在火车上竟会遇到这个好心的大叔,一路上无私的关照着,而不图任何的回报,默默的守护着我们这些萍水相逢的毫不相干的人。
南京,因为这位大叔,让我对它刮目相看,或许会因为这样,我喜欢上南京!
长达15天的上海、江浙游荡,一口气走了那么多的水乡古镇,终于划上完满的句号。
陪我一同走过的朋友,谢你们一路上容忍着我毫无计划的游荡!
