Township Town Guide (2) - Wuzhen
2003/9/6 Xitang to Saturday from Jiaxing Wuzhen need to change trains. We Xitang starting from 12:20, arriving 13:05 Jiaxing Qijubeizhan by CMB. Look at the station to the shuttle schedule Wuzhen, 13:55 exactly a trip from Qijuxizhan start. Stood across the street to sit out the 20 road transport (Qichebeizhan → Qijuxizhan), 15 minutes to West Railway Station. Jiaxing Qichebeizhan and West Point, are some of the scale, modern style architecture, spacious and clean waiting room, good services, related commercial facilities, always embodies the convenience of modern life, and fast.
13:55 time driving, this time can be regarded as an air-conditioned bus! Rural roads to Wuzhen Xitang did not go far wide of it, just one to one to two-lane, road quite good. Straight on both sides of the water-shirt, printed into the rows of eyes, the ED also to go back. Through the water shirt is neat patches of green paddy fields, mapping the range of hills rotten sun, which some field landscape, the idea is very enjoyable.
More than an hour to Wuzhen. Tricycle riding along the road to the center of the town fled midnight. Conversation with the driver learned that the tickets scenic Main Street East, rose 60 yuan, only selling coupon! As the visitors growing in the evening is not open sites have also received 25 yuan tickets! Too much! 7:30 the morning just before the charges no fees. West Street is being revised, which will not open. 17:30 pm, after entering. (What's New: September 13 said to go out 7:00 expel people, to re-buy a ticket!)
In this case, we simply find someone to accommodation. Xinhua Street, passing through scenic Qiaodong the door, many holding flags of the tour group, crowded, bustling. Because it is Saturday, took some twists and turns, Xinhua street we were staying to the north exit of Wuzhen cinema before "Garden Inn." Double Standard Room 80 yuan / day, electric water heaters heat water, conditions in general. It is worth mentioning that the only park in the room facing the Wuzhen, "People's Park", the window tree-lined, have a quiet down.
Rest to 5 pm, we're starting to Xishan Street. Of course, the way of the Wuzhen taste of the fried stinky dry, good taste! Alleged that West is to preserve the Ming and Qing buildings, one of the best, but after reading the reports could not help being somewhat disappointed.
The street or the old shape, construction is also still the old scale. Horizontal vertical slate if they had paved roads, a long gap between the moss. Rainwater is a carved stone from the road in the four sides of the coin pattern of the four holes in the discharge. Lanes on both sides of the huts there had been significant, "senile" trend, and some damage serious, occasionally there are many of them have turned into a modern steel, cement, brick form, in the streets of the atmosphere, appeared to be so unexpected, uncoordinated, .
Impressed by the "wear house." The high lintels are clearly embedded a sum of these two peaks vigorous characters in front of eight-character to the inside wall was concave, slightly in front of the open space, suggesting the former busy. Pushed open the door into the room only to find inside and outside the very different scenario. I do not know where the roof already, Jigen solitary columns, Zhangchangduanduan to enact a; remnants of walls, variegated; broken windows and doors, rickety. Chaotic to empty bottles piled on the floor, a corner covered with a half-man, tall weeds. In the sunset twilight, an increasingly bleak and lonely Liao. Looking around the ruins of thoughts in the swirling, floating thought it had the glory and decline. The passage of time, people are objects of non-historical moment as though a number of scenes in this moment coming.
Returned from the West, according to online tips, we came to focus on the regular Fung Street restaurant for dinner. An antique building of water, depending on the water and build. Store excessive enthusiasm, trying from the nearby, still trailing behind. Yourenruzhi afternoon, this time their stores actually a few and feel bad. Finally, we still eat in the Xinhua street "East Celeste Court." To the "White Water steamed fish," "stinky tofu fried egg", "Wuzhen three wire" and so on. Taste are pretty good. Whitewater fish from the local canal. Unlike tofu, Shaoxing, Nanjing and other places, special incense. "Wuzhen three wire" is used when the property mustard silk, combined with dried bean curd silk, yellow chives, of course, fried pork, very local flavor, it is worth tasting.
After dinner went to Main Street East, would like to see scenic spots of the night. A dimly lit rare, far and Xitang. I did not have rest, come back tomorrow morning.
Back to the hotel, Tongxiang television stations are broadcasting "Things Past." Also take a look at the play of shooting scenes, hope that tomorrow can be felt in the field.
2003/9/7 just after 6:00 Sunday morning, we have entered the scenic Main Street East. At this time the sun has not risen, a touch of morning mist, the residents of rivers and lakes started to everyday life.
Along the Taitung City, Henan side of the shore Langpeng long, quiet and spacious, and "beauty by" relying on the yet to MM. Control in the hands scenic description, feel where the repair is still consuming for thought. Rehabilitate, repair of old buildings wide-ranging, covering housing, food, workshops, memorial, finance, trade, culture, religion, entertainment and other areas, visitors can watch, participate in activities such as shadow, flower drum opera, boxing performances, shows a number of ships, dazzle people. Old as the spirit of the principles of repair, focusing on town style reproduction, the traditional culture of the building, and a combination of modern tourism objectives.
Away from the entrance, two sleek stone cited our eyes. They are across the river, parallel layout. Control map, that the south is called Taiping Bridge, the north east guanyinqiao fine-sounding name. Are the single-hole stone arch bridge, the bridge is solid tailgate. East guanyinqiao was a complete semi-circular arch,, bridge bridge the small end of stigma carved lions along crevice Qiaolan covered with vines, styling exquisite detail; peace arch of the bridge curves slightly flat, carved pillars stigma The pattern is the lotus seat, this bridge more than 10 meters long, smooth style atmosphere. Two bridges relative each other set off, walking the scenes, changing the camera's viewfinder frame, just this group Shuangqiao landscape screen on the left 67.
Two bridges east, and they are vertically across East Market is on the Wing River Bridge, also known as Itabashi. Deck only a few elongated stone tile, is a typical pingqiao. Modeling is simple, but durable, maintaining a consistent pattern of pristine and tranquil. Ishibashi silent, silent water knowing about. Standing on the bridge, hand on the ancient stone balustrades, glance right and left, from clear to vague, far and near water, bridges, boat, pedestrians, full of eyes. Plank Road in the forest at the end of the Ren-hui Bridge is the only of the single-hole scenic wooden bridge, stood on the top, listening to the sound of footsteps and the wood contact, we will have some fun with many different kind of stone.
Well-known Feng-Yuan Shuangqiaoshan in the most scenic east, but also a form of Pingqiao. Because there Langpeng, at about Bridge and unique. 2 middle of the bridge columns from Yibi spend grille screen, screen is 2 Ranking of people stopping for a rest under the stone seat stool. There is water under the bridge fence, is an ancient waterway access points. Wuzhen the water system is not only strip, as well as flakes. Feng-Yuan Shuangqiao surface area open to form a turned the bow of the place, Dubbed the "God of Fortune Bay." The characteristics of rivers and lakes where a collection of buildings, halls, bridges, Lang Peng, Shuige all-round panoramic view of the beauty of it is pictures of tourists taking pictures of the focus areas.
After the bridge turn right, we move closer to East Main Street. All of the old stone paving, after another straight at the foot of the extension; narrow alley, flanked on either side row upon row of houses and shops, one run by horse across the wall, of various sizes. Heavy wooden door, away from it more than a hollow flower with half of it urges a high gate. Incomplete carved and mottled paint for a long time people sigh. From time to time to see riding on the roadway on the transverse arch doors, 22 relative, said that this is before the wealthy family circles mark the walls. The middle of the street, the local residents enthusiastically pointed out to us, "Things Past" in the actress's home and next to the silent drama that often appear deep in the small lane.
Here houses closed firewall, Ma Tau wall shapes, uneven, there is a straight line, there are curves, or a neat drop, or meanders; a variety of roof style, dual-slope, hipped, double eaves, Xie Shan, the layer Layer upon layer, patchwork. At this point the sun had risen, a touch of light and shadow in the reflection of buildings on the water constantly Huang Yang, the metamorphosis of an amazing set designs and charm Mo. Finally understand why Wuzhen film drama, and is also a powder wall Daiwa, color simple, but the lens into the walls, roof, Mucha, coupons door, Lang Yan, stone bridge, sailing, Shuige, which consists of a frame rate , the vivid images, lines of variable, the level of the rich, perfect compositions, it is elusive in Xitang.
Dawn of the ancient town, we have a taste and customs, people's livelihood and seeing tours will go to, we got up to leave.
After breakfast, pack up your things, once again set foot on the road, to recover our next goal - Nanxun.
