2003.9.20 Saturday Weather: Cloudy Xitang, for me, was just an empty place names, you hear a lot about the commercialization of Zhouzhuang and Wuzhen news too thick atmosphere of this legendary fishing village still retains its authentic -style town, somewhat dubious. To online access to a wealth of information from many different styles of travels in the User gradually outlined in Xitang own imagination, yearning for Xitang also varies over time and keep on growing. When the trip this day really comes, naturally excited. As if to return to children's age, for each spring tour of the types of activities can not sleep with excitement, even if the destination but only parks, zoo-like N times been to places, share of excitement and enthusiasm are immutable, and now they're all good to miss.
Reference User recommended route, we take the 9:50 out of the K823 from the Meilong times, to Jiashan only 10:36, outbound taxi straight after. Initially asked to stop at the railway station plaza a taxi driver, who a price of 25 yuan to Xitang, there is no room for discussion, but also plausibly say they want payments, 20 yuan on the money. But we have the information from the Internet is simply ignored his insistence on Wang Waimian go far did not just drop the guests on the run into a taxi and asked the driver also said 25 yuan, but we have 20 yuan, he readily agreed. In the bound Xitang chatting with the driver on the road, the driver said the road leading to Xitang has just been built, is designed for the development of tourism repair, and had Xitang not long after the bad road away, but also tells us that Huang Ju, who is Xitang , we say that really do not know. In this way chatting outside watching the scenery, good roads, he drove very fast, there are not many to see that the NGS User, I know far away, and indeed there are not many drivers stopped at the Post Road East car. Stop looking around to see surrounded by some antique buildings, the roof is in keeping with the southern residential areas for processing and modification, perhaps in order to coordinate and town bar.
However, within line of sight, it seems that not see what the old house, after asking directions while walking with a note full of questions about whether there is any sign. Head-on encounter a lot of self-help young people like us, so peace of mind of many. Move forward to see an alley, then went to see the possibility of exploratory walk pass, did not think it is inside a restaurant is like asking Jingyi Xuan, due to the old light house is very dark, it seems nowhere to go inside, they hastened to retire out. Only later did I know from Jingyi Xuan which can go out and hid behind it is the famous stone leather lane, which we later learned from a stone skin hijacked in the end only after the discovery of Jingyi Xuan came to understand it. We will then forward to see when you get in front of tangjia once again decided to enter to be explored, as if some of the taste of adventure Yo ,^_^。 Walking in the alley where a few people excited, this just intended to show the camera take pictures, not posed, they see a rickshaw back to the narrow alleys simply avoidance is not open, we had to give up the intention of taking pictures, and hastened out of the alley, and thus, in the case of ill-prepared, a positive encounter with the beautiful Xitang, and also so unwittingly opened a Xitang mystery.
There had been 11 points more, coincides with the time when tourists are wang, although the street snacks and antiques are all attracted us, but looking for accommodation it is a priority, but to recover the curious eyes walking hurriedly walking on the stone on the road. Because it is Saturday and time is running late, on-line have been fully booked several well-known, such as "Kirimura Agile", "Yao house" rooms have been finished User phone book, I really did not think would be so nervous . The way we have to find a local with the past, looked at a few, are not very satisfactory, the final choice of the ring show Huanxiu hostel near the bridge. Linshui room has gone, leaving only the street two conditions can be, they settle down. That the local people we have decided to stay down in asking do we need rickshaw service, we understand what he was so hard to find accommodation is intended to take us, though, and not want to sit, but thought he was, after all, is also hard to walk so many roads, the to leave his cell phone number, etc., when we need to contact him again. That he did not because we do not take care of his business to change attitudes, how much we are somehow embarrassed.
User in accordance with the recommendation to "Yau Yat Chuen," to eat. "Yau Yat Chuen" is located east of West Street, the entrance, "Yau Yat Chuen Laoya pot" of the flag flying with the wind, if not see the banner of the main entrance there is a small sign, almost missed the. On the first floor window seat has been filled, the election on the second floor with water, the location of a Lin Chuang, quoting is already back out of the menu, "25 yuan FENHU shrimp, salt and pepper pumpkin 8 yuan sauce bursting snail 8 Yuan, steamed white silk fish, 35 yuan, 25 yuan Laoya wonton pot, caltrop soybeans 8 yuan, "perhaps we all hungry, so once a point of so many other dishes up only to find it seems too much. In other dishes, when the shopkeeper brought to a rice dumplings. FENHU shrimp should be the local shrimp, heads than usual shrimp farms being sold is much smaller, light color some, but very fresh, but the taste of boiled slightly pale. Steamed white silk fish, perhaps some of steaming time for a long time, the meat up some old, it seems that some fly in the ointment. Lao Ya Wonton burning taste good, worthy of a signature dish, Tangnong color white, taste simple and honest, listening to the netizens proposed wonton ravioli as soon as possible so as not to eat rotten, perhaps in the Lao Yatang years has resulted in a lot of flavor to the wonton by, in particular, soup taste very good food for thought. Caltrop soybean was very fresh and tasty, worth recommending, but seasonal dishes. Salt and pepper pumpkin, the practice is very unique, netizens said a lot, not more to say. After dinner and wife also brought a small bag of a rice dumplings to us. Checkout dishes taste boss asked, we say good, long heard, and then someone always says boss said with a smile line that is good, I do not know how to say yes in the end, just downloaded from the Internet after the printed information in the hands of the out to the boss to see that the top boss who just said, polite, vegetables taste Ye Hao, after the boss was very happy to see, but also did not give us remember rutabaga, would perhaps we will wait, after a while come up with several bags of rutabaga, and Note One is dry, relatively resistant to radiotherapy and another one is wet, put not last long, and let us taste the difference, look at personal preferences and choose, we chose the wet kind, not live to thank, it is moved.
This is a beautiful autumn afternoon. The sky was clear, water breeze and, no sinister autumn sun gently shed years, according to the body warm, and my heart warm. No maps, no need to guide the winding alley is the best direction, come to an end on the same route back to see forks in the road would turn into to see that such a town, this is a casual and relaxed, deliberately Sato will lose their original taste.
Across from the Old Town, has finally started their own at night, in the lights of the flickering lights in the lantern, unconsciously slow down, relax, and give their midst. Fancy Yongning Bridge near the beautiful night view, we decided to eat dinner in that vicinity, first Qiantang people to come to, which flourished as a venue, not only tours in groups, there are many positions already occupied the window FIT, Perhaps too many people, so very noisy, feeling not too good, had the second best to the people across the south and wife at the door to attract guests, the hotel which are not too many, the location of the final selection on the second floor window seat Next, just outside the picture you can see and feel good. As at noon to eat more bread in the evening we are not fighting too, it less more vegetables, "salt and pepper next to the fish, mussel tofu, braised red in February (actually for the crab), Fen Zhengrou." The so-called species of fish is about the thumb next to the length of fish, sprinkle with salt and pepper after frying is made to bite in the mouth is very fragrant, the other nothing special. Red as in February, where comparison Xitang features crab, but the tastes are really general. Anodonta tofu is very disappointing, not only could not eat the tasty mussel, but also felt that some smell of fish, and also eat some did not get a clean place, very off-putting. Fen Zhengrou only recommend it, at first the four of us just had a taste, but eating again after three, and soon swept away. Tofu wrapped inside a thin flour and meat, clothing, meat Feishou are appropriate, a little fat steamed out of the oil moistening flour, flour to make them eat less jerky, dry, taste is indeed very good. In contrast, bull Fen Zhengrou the dwarfs, and they saw many people recommend, just come back to buy a few, may come back a steaming, open the lotus leaf to see inside the tofu Dry clothing, and The wrapped meat and flour in which folder on a separate, perhaps like the bull hit the ground in your home than others, as are, indeed, lean meat, but it seems that is also for this reason, flour and meat are dried up, feeling bad. And perhaps the reason why mass-produced, the time may be relatively long, did not taste so good people in the south, it is a regret not to try to buy.
Night, quietly opened interest-free way to bring the curtain will be a town shrouded in darkness, the river on both sides of a string of red lanterns lit, the red shadow silhouetted in water, autumn breezes rustle stirred lit-Yi Lian, lanterns swaying with the reflection of Health posture, each other, they can be described as magnificent. 8:00 time sail boat, a boat 12 individuals, Ins and Outs good ships boats closely linked. Wu Pengchuan slowly forward in the river, silently shaking scull crew on board from a quiet whisper visitors gradually become quiet, ear rings, only boats scull splash sound. Bang on the ship the body lean, watching both sides of the lantern a lamp fell behind, watching the darkness, the old houses left patchwork of shadows, watching the stars shining overhead bit, it is so, I am drunk, there is no reservations.
Down from the boat had been at 8:30, in the increasingly quiet walk through the alleys, with a total feeling of voices too loud, with a total feeling of walking is not enough light, fear less will be awakened by the sound of the wood next to a fan after closed People began to fall asleep. The city's hustle and bustle so we become impetuous, become noise, but in such a quiet town, then realized that these are redundant, and even some disgusting. Stuffing of an alley, walk through which ordinary people on both sides of the walls are, which disclosed a little light, but they can not hear what the voice is used to whisper or a more customary silent tacit agreement? I asked myself. Is limited, has been out of the narrow alleys, from the alleys out of the side when it is presented in front of another picture, it seems to take a time machine went through a time tunnel to another era, a so-called modern society. The bright lights and loud music, a busy noisy, immediately filled with every organ, I can not imagine two very different lives, there are only a few hundred meters away, really amazing, and now think of it still feels weird. At that time is autumn night, Fengqing night high, but in the so-called modern society on the streets, I feel that only suffocate just want to escape as quickly as possible, fled to go there now belongs to the past. I really like it there. So came back, my colleagues asked Xitang do fun, my first words, "I wanted to go!."
