Cold Mountain Temple, Suzhou
4 / 25 14:30 pm vehicle from Jiangdu to continue onto the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed, 15:30 Jiangyin Yangtze River Bridge toll station off (70 yuan / 1328 kilometers) Jiangyin Yangtze River Bridge repair very impressive, with Jiang Zemin's inscription above. Over the Yangtze River immediately to the Wuxi Jiangnan region into the real. The world has played a light rain, the road of the cars began to increase.
Yangzhou draw bitter experience to find the hotel, on the high-speed I give them a booking through Ctrip Suzhou hotel call to confirm the room and asked me to stay a certain room in the 20 o'clock before. Confirmed that the room finished before having peace of mind after the mind of some.
Fairly smooth way the car was found when approaching the opposite lane of Suzhou has an accident, a heavy-duty trailer rollover to the road, three lanes were all blocked was estimated to be rainy slippery, causing roll overloaded carts. Because they have been completely cut off, so the opposite lane waiting in long queues of the word, I guess a bit blocked there is a full three kilometers.
16:40 to Suzhou East toll station (40 yuan / 1415 kilometers), a temporary farewell to the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed, from Suzhou to Xitang we will go Sujiahang.
This is my first time to go the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed, in addition to Texas, part of the road construction outside the road, the overall feeling of the road infrastructure is relatively good, especially into the border of Jiangsu, the service area of cultivation is also very pretty. From Beijing to Suzhou, Beijing-Shanghai high-speed A total of 1415 kilometers away, all tolls 544 per, equivalent to 0.38 yuan / km. Comparable to foreign countries, feel that our high-speed toll is still too expensive, more expensive car so carts, which also contributed to the part of the goods to reduce costs by overloading one of the reasons. Plus 350 yuan refueling along the way two times the average cost of 0.63 on the road / km.
I probably have five years of the time not come in Suzhou, and enter the old city of Suzhou feeling pretty good, relatively clean streets, road sides full of plane trees, the traffic is relatively orderly, not so many motorcycles.
I have set concept hotel in Suzhou near Front Street, from the high-speed down very smoothly and it has found a view of Front Street, turn left at an intersection to play lights, car has just switched over to a taxi driver saw the car at the roadside to me secretly waved, not yet come to understand how matter and saw a man waved to me, looked up and saw: I rely on! About 50 meters in front of a parked police vehicles, police cars had been standing on edge waiting for me where. Big head, and quickly brake, watching mirror, hanging reverse ready to run. Then left me in the back of a local PST not reflect the over, I would like to reverse gear, he can see the road is not willing to drastically sounded his horn. I had no way to stop him before, this is not vague buddies, a wheel breaking off a direct investment in the past, the police uncle's arms. Taking advantage of the police cut his neutral gear, I hasten to play round of the flash of the good insurance! Really thank those who let Big Brother 2 in Suzhou, a good man! If for the rest of the people, chances are it was still standing next to watch the fun. Also tell the truth I'm not intentionally illegal, mostly unfamiliar road, his eyes light was busy looking for hotel, and no attention to the left of the sign ban.
Rest in the hotel for a night in the view of Front Street twisted my really good! Guanqian Street, Suzhou downtown a pedestrian mall, a little like Beijing's Wangfujing, front and rear there are two parallel streets on both sides of the house are antique style, white walls and black tiles.
Front Street is mainly to buy clothes, food, local embroidery and other crafts; Backstreet street are all superb range of restaurants, what Huai Yang, Suzhou local cuisine, Shanghai cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, snacks City and Jacuzzis to find a local one in Suzhou restaurant into a good summary of the meal. Does not look like what happened in Suzhou, Yangzhou happened!
4 / 26 Suzhou Hanshan Temple.
Suzhou, the past, we have come before, such as Humble Administrator's Garden, Lingering Garden, Tiger Hill and other famous scenic spots have been previously estimated at close to 51 people and ultimately, tickets will not be cheap, so this time passing through Suzhou, the only choice we have never been to Cold Mountain Temple to see, and then straight to Xitang.
Cold Mountain Temple far away from Suzhou city, from the view of Front Street opened more than 40 minutes before groping to find. Cold Mountain Temple's well-known mainly because of Zhang's first Maple Bridge at Night of that poem. Moonset Wu Ti frost sky, Jiangfeng fishing boat for depression sleep outside Gusu Hanshan Temple, Chimes at Midnight to the passenger.
Cold Mountain Temple is a small temple, Temple and there is a small river, the river on a beautiful stone bridge, it should be stated in Maple is the verse of the bar. Monastery yellow brick gable accompanied by black shaded in green in the shade of a typical southern temple style. Courtyard bursts of outgoing bells, as if to take people to a thousand years ago among the ancients at Night scene.
Unfortunately, we arrived late, and then the flow of rush the team to travel to come a moment's quiet moments among the lost in hubbub. With the crowd we carelessly twisted my temple, the temple had not also did not leave any impression. Temple's bell tower outside world, five money could hit the next three minutes, as the flow increases, the clock tower from the front of the crowd wearing a team colored cap, the bell also rang continuously.
Therefore, to remind friends, If you go to Cold Mountain Temple is best morning and evening, when few people, in fact, unable to enter into the Temple, it does not matter, time must be in the Temple and the small river walk, taste the flavor of south of Yangtze River.
