Monday, March 22, the next day. Wuzhen - Xitang, overnight Xitang.
Wuzhen the Xitang need to take Pakistan to the Jiaxing transfer. All journeys can be completed within 2 hours.
Xitang is no rain arrived in the afternoon, scenic areas do not need tickets, small get easily accessible, the scenic area close connections with the outside world. This is very different Wuzhen.
I live in a private inn, an old Zhai Zi, allegedly the largest Xitang, there are now more than 40 families lived in the house yard, it appears the government from the hands of a large seizure of啦. Rooms are single rooms, air-conditioned bathrooms and balcony. A modern mahogany square table put out a TV set. Hardwood dresser, the old mottled bear silver mirror. You can sleep three individuals carved large bed crowded inscribed, "The West Chamber" story, the individual characters on the screen face was shovel out. Landlord explained: during the Cultural Revolution, "four olds" left scars.
Antique room, antique carved bed! Lack of a beauty keep company ah!
Xitang is simple, as if the experts have not been pointing, no repairs, no heavy make-up. Xitang is also a natural, a variety of shops, there are tourist shops, but also the local people for daily use, as well as Biology, pesticides and even a distribution of marine equipment, machinery, shops, a house full of propeller engine belt. A small pier on a boat there are tens of thousands of duck foot bar, the real "egg ship" ah!
In a waterfront restaurant, and chose a window of a waterfront to eat: green beans, mixed stew pot Lao Ya, Malan head, a brown stuffed with half a catty good. The United States.
Chuanjiezouxiang, go to the evening. Evening Xitang not a good feeling. Along the water on both sides of the house lights had a string of red lanterns, a restaurant in the bustling scene in Xitang diffuse through the carved windows. Several professional photographers with guns against the best while waiting for dusk light, school children from their side through their hands unknown snacks. Bicycles, electric cars, motorcycles skilled in my view it is difficult to go beyond the arch. Tourists and residents were integrated into the twilight of Xitang.
Without food for dinner, because at noon to eat more rice dumplings.
Night falls Xitang, can feel the quiet debate. Waterside of the people have the boat Long together. Drying out the elderly in the collection of Cai Tai and rutabaga, shops have closed, the old people chatting softly in the 3322's.
Shot night with a bottle of good brewing back to the room. The landlord sent two packages of dumplings themselves, saying that today's package dumplings at home, and for their own food, and buy different, I try. Hot wine, eating the dumplings warm, indeed not the same. Eat dumplings myself more Ruannuo, strong taste of meat are more Feishou all, delicious, a bit greasy. Yellow rice wine is also very good, taste is, a touch of a little sweet.
The landlord's husband Jiaxing do things their own children at home and greet and small hostel. Guests are largely predetermined by telephone. Shops in Beijing and Guangdong, small and medium famous friends, visitors are basically relying on word of mouth to bring (and is now more legend of the network). In the collection point at home after the furniture, carved bed and a lot of carved panels, not only to the guests to use, but also the gradual appreciation. Jiangnan people's thoughts careful ah.
Lying on the large carved bed, not what it feels like to sleep on the kick into gear. Unfortunately, there is no dream of what the ghost, HUXIN. Ordinarily old house have this, ah, Liao Zhai Lane said there呀!
One's sleep, he woke up.
Yesterday went to see a noodle shop, the locals have been packed. Some local people for advice, it is recommended to eat "beef, fish, noodles explosion", the beginning thought it was abalone, sense to not bar such a homely bar shop Buzhi Yu on the abalone. Oh, will soon understand that fried fish row. Stood waiting for a ride, just ride the following to make money, 7 yuan a bowl, bowl large. Face a lot of cooked and then into the wok, add potherb mustard and beef soup explosion processing of fish and there are some Aohao it wants to. Gluten Road, soup, a wide and very tasty. Bowl Xiadu satisfied.
I was so easily satisfied. Eat after the parade at the sub-Xitang, in a few places did not notice yesterday, photographed on the back to house to pack his luggage.
Xitang left when the sky suddenly came the sun. I went to the South the past few days the first time I saw the sun. She came a cloud of Niuniunienie, I quickly took out the camera in Xitang hang around another 10 minutes. Hiding the sun again, and I have to go, and work hours this afternoon, be sure to Shanghai on business.
Xitang feel more natural, there is no deliberate Wuzhen that feeling. Perhaps because I am in the tourist-infested streets and alleys to be less time bar. Shopping buy fish buy meat markets, the students rush go hand in hand, residents of waterside laundry, "egg" of the ship, to the scenic area adds a breath of life a bit. And stay in the depths of my heart, is not added deliberately repair of houses, homes within the normal life of residents, the water bridge between the various ships and all sorts of people, these things lays out the real vivid Jiangnan, let me forget.
March 23, the third day, returned to Shanghai. Xitang - Shanghai in Jiashan reverse, cars are a lot of trains.
