In late March, to the Zhejiang Wuzhen and Xitang, these 2 places very close, only 3 days I went on the scenic rough edges.
Like Xitang, in neither cold nor hot season time, then want to spend a few days.
March 21, the first day, starting from Hangzhou to Wuzhen. Stay overnight in Wuzhen.
From Hangzhou to Wuzhen, Tongxiang turn first to the minibus. Hangzhou East Bus Station - 20min Tongxiang almost a bus, I take the 10:20 shuttle bus, more than an hour after the 11:40 to Tongxiang. Few visitors, condition good. To the bus stop can be directly transfer Tongxiang Tongxiang - Wuzhen a minibus, car is not very clean, but always in accordance with the provisions of open lines, about half an hour to reach the station Wuzhen. Wuzhen Wuzhen scenic area is located close to the station areas. I have friends them to stay, there is no purchase of 50 yuan / Zhang tickets on the village, and this has brought back a lot of inconvenience and fun activities. Wuzhen prevented residents from tourists stay overnight, even if a friend is not OK, is said to fire safety. Residents can not receive all their home in a friend, it's really unheard of. Down the basic rights of people not real places, because of human rights and a government-run tourism industry of the conflict.
Residents stay at home, everything quietly. Scenic area there are many of the "Big Bad Wolf" (Security) lurking around the tour. Out of a friend's house first Tantoutannao careful watch to ensure the safe immediately after displaying Chinese Kung Fu Qingshuyuanbi, Gaotai cats legs, hands and feet agile Jianbu like flying into the safe zone could not help but grow after the breath,,,, to stimulate ah.
Lunch is the local family style meal with friends, acquaintances said, unkind, and just add a Braised bamboo shoots, a steamed white fish dinner my Yankees. Dinner friends repeatedly told that he is not in the afternoon Wuzhen, asking me to be sure in every outpost, their activities can not be out of the scenic 10000. Entered do not come out, and we should wait for him to come back at night to pick me into the scenic area.
It seems according to online travelogues, I will spend an hour a hurry to go over again. Wuzhen This is the Yangtze River Delta, one of six town, and now the development of Wuzhen scenic area are two major routes: one along the river road, one side is water, one side is changed into shops with dwellings. There is also a relatively concentrated market for the sale of color range of travel products. The other one is a long Main Street East, 4 meters wide, on both sides of all the old houses. Houses are mostly shops, workshops. There are several major face-lift has become Zhaizi museum. Scenic area of town accounts for 1 / 4 Multi.
Scenic many people, basically some day trip tourists, tour guides shouting in the loudspeakers shouted the crowd of visitors, explaining the basic story. Tourists in groups, hand-held camera, DV in the gaze, to bargain with vendors crowded.
To find a shop in, not the rice mouth, very few. Selected Chang square table to sit down, the small two recommended local wine "three spirits" and the meat sauce. Noon do not want to Baijiu a cup of sweet rice wine. Looked at the sauce was a dark mutton, fills a small-cap to the dried bean curd. Small sat a moment, will concentrate one's attention and then swim bar.
The first walk along the river, the water is gray, feeling unhappy, and no way, Jiangnan many people, water pollution is also serious. Gray tiles and white walls built in accordance with the water, small bridges, ship is home, this is a typical Jiangnan mood bar. Spring Willow Green to the town to bring a bit of new life. Unfortunately, the crowded tourists, noisy shops make me no mood.
Were removed from the tourists, looking folk museum display and 100. First Jiangnan feeling that people are concerned about bed decoration, very delicate delicately carved, remember that many ancient erotic novels describing the bed story. People are early and went to the main Western Paradise, leaving these beautiful carved transports and collects large quilt together, arranged in a queue to show for posterity.
Three white wine is a specialty of the town, scenic area to retain a small brewery workshop. Wine from fermentation to squeeze into the distillation, to the dozens of wine storage jar, the whole process is demonstrated to the visitors to see. Try a cup of steaming out of here, said the wine, the typical private home-made wine, wine the very thin, there is no alcohol in Sichuan folk wine, but it tastes pure, clean aftertaste, unlike the groove against the liquor so artificial. Say, 53 degrees, do not feel. Oh, now no one cares less than the weight of alcohol, alcohol is not high in this issue of widespread fraud.
With this small workshop production, certainly not so many tourists to buy, scenic areas within the shop sold three spirits come Where it?
Shuangqiao the edge of a Fan Pu, 2 floors, the door opposite the God of Wealth. The door asked for a cup of tea, sitting in the window on the second floor by the river, watching the show while chatting with the attendant boredom. At 2 pm and more business is the restaurant did not have to do it.
Little girl told me that a lot of scenic spots received the team every day, but the team is not much to eat here. They are the main reception number of FIT. After 11 am to 4 pm before the town's highest number of visitors ... .... Today is Sunday, noon, more natural. Have been in late March, and there is still very cold, a cup of hot tea in hand, warm a lot.
A scenic bar, scenic spots have been a little nice. Standing in the square in front Peking Opera Theater, a modern flat stone on the ground, one side is the Qing Dynasty Peking Opera Theater, one side is the modern antique building, seems to be a temple or a hut. Those not interested in straight to the West Street.
West Street entrance has a notice: What what are transforming, visitors will be allowed entry and so on ... ... did not see the scaffolding呀.
East Main Street, West Street is basically transformed into tourist attractions look like before it, the house obviously old, mottled paint on doors and windows, roofs missing gray tiles, white walls and off the wall there are a lot of lime. Some loosening of the river stone displacement, the alley does not seem like a tidy Main Street East.
However, there are no crowded stores, paved, there is no trouble noisy crowd, pure, natural.
Back to the scenic area at dusk, the dusk Wuzhen scenic area into another world, and kick into gear Lala tourists suddenly disappear, to serve them rushing on the shop door. Seems like finish at a drama, the audience actors hurried away, leaving only the empty theater, a lonely theater.
I walk out of area, go to West Street, turn full circle to the Peking Opera Theater. The outside world is really, and vivid, and can close. People began to go home, cooking, the taste, the child's cry ... ... a busy day, people start their own family life.
Dinner quite rich, with Malan head, the local Spaciality Duck Breast and Fen Zhengrou. Thank you, friend. Drank some rice wine.
Chat with friends, in addition to the story of their other friends are familiar story, but also spoke of the many big Zhaizi Wuzhen history, speaking of the government-run tourism inconvenience caused to residents and tourist income residents can not share the frustration.
As tourism benefits are too substantial, Wuzhen, West Street, the authorities are prepared to repair it again, become a new scenic spot. Main Street East, the existing residents learned the existence of government-run tourism industry to the various inconveniences of the lesson, the Government intends to move out the residents as a whole. But the residents do not want, because obviously prejudicial to the interests of residents of this relocation: the future of tourism receipts and scenic ancestral population living in the here irrelevant.
The Government of looting by residents of the boycott, I hope the new constitution to protect their own rights and interests of residents play a protective effect.
Wuzhen silent night. Tourists away, the residents have stayed at home. Streets and alleys where there is no shadow there is no footsteps. Light pan surface ripples, the vague shapes of lights red lanterns.
The town is beautiful at night, a little bleak, because fewer people are everywhere. Can not imagine the scene after the West Avenue reconstruction, not the residents or Wuzhen Wuzhen do?
Cold night, a friend gave bedding added a blanket under the night, no words.
The eastern part of the early dawn. 6:00 to walk in Wuzhen scenic area, the fresh, well-being. Thin drizzle in some Wuzhen is another view. A few more charming, less impulsive noise.
Wuzhen Tourism to an end.
Wuzhen is a well-developed, well-managed tourist attractions, ideal for the team. All accounts, the inclusion of X Day Wuzhen Tour's itinerary is very appropriate, Wuzhen be pocketed the money from a travel agency where.
The friends of the self-run, Wuzhen is too commercial, especially during the day, you will see a monster, a noisy, chaotic commodity markets. Throngs of tourists, tour guides hoarse, omnipresent, and the transition enthusiastic traders on the gray tiles and white walls, small bridges over flowing water, a modern interpretation of Wuzhen.
Wuzhen scenic area within the house, Wuzhen scenic area within the water, Wuzhen scenic area within the ship, Wuzhen scenic area within the bridge, all in all, are for tourists there. It is rigid, it is false, it is not my favorite place.
