Zhouzhuang heard many people went to the feel, regret; also heard that if the evening went from Suzhou, Zhouzhuang, they do not Maimen Piao. Ordinary day I do not want to go out Zhouzhuang, but just to have a Saturday to Suzhou on business opportunities, want to think about the other side had a weekend to stay in Shanghai is better than the very boring, so quickly prepared a bit of information, with a light heart hit the road.
Shanghai to Suzhou, actually as long as 13 yuan, while Suzhou, Zhouzhuang is also to 14.50 yuan, however, it seems the time to sit in very good shape, Zhouzhuang bad the right than over the mountains to go to Lijiang. The latest group to Zhouzhuang, Suzhou Qichebeizhan car was 17:05 in the winter night comes and open to the halfway to heaven already dark. Arrival, and indeed there are many tricycle leap up, scrambled for soliciting. I decided to eat a meal, and then walked slowly. The road to Zhouzhuang three-way intersection to the left, because I did not ask the road to the right side of a road to go blind for a pass, until the walk not after the Suzhou University Branch of the cement road, and it feels may be wrong. Was about to ask for directions to the villagers when a tricycle stepped over, and just pulled me into the town. Driver a little bit older, he said to have 60, I think our generation will not need to rely on when the 60-year-old leg muscles to make money, however, Zhouzhuang is already very rich, why are there so many local people out of hard earned money? In a two-day Zhouzhuang, I have been asked this answer, finally I think it is ticket for reasons unrelated to income and population. Many of China's scenic spots and did not improve the local employment environment, did not provide more job opportunities and wage growth conditions, all the scenic spots of income were all turned over to the Government, even the provincial government, the central government. Remain in the local finance should perhaps also be used for other names of the bar. Folk legends, the lake Ninglang Xian Pan raises ticket sales do all the civil servants.
I am very good driver right to introduce and said, now into the town without Maimen Piao, and as long as I want, he is willing to take me into town shopping, such as Shuangqiao, you can also introduce cheap accommodation to me. My plan of thirty yuan, resulting in Shuangqiaoshan really all hostels in the vicinity of silver found a twenty-dollar. Was originally 15 yuan a shop owner said that if I live inside, and someone else is not good to live, have received 20 yuan, the whole room would go me. I think she might be to give driver 5 yuan placement fees, I feel that I am to take care of the driver along the way, also said that if live in his house, do not charge a penny, also intends to give him tips, there is no opportunity of talking to shopkeepers bargain , and deliberately into the trip to the toilet, so that they made transactions. Sure enough, after the driver has to go out the meaning, I will smoothly push the boat, saying to send to send him, and then I began to stroll Zhouzhuang!
This time is 20:30, as the wind, cold weather, and not many tourists. 3322's, some place to eat, there are local women singing southern Minor, what Siji Ge ah, there are pull Erhu. I like to listen to these women sing songs, sound is unique to the sweet south, ditty is so familiar songs thirties, when the Zhouzhuang is not like in a dream back to Mody?
Shuangqiao in the vicinity not long stroll, a back and forth before 9 o'clock, very dark, shops began to close, I think not gone away, but do not want to return to the room so early, she decided to start a driver to take me to go a travel companies beat goes on the ancient bed accommodation. At that time I told the driver that they want to live in an old house, he took me to this king's court, Shen Lan house body. Said that the residence of the owner upstairs are full, introduced a single room downstairs, with Chang antique bed, as well as dressing table, I looked very much like it, think of 92 years lived in Fenghuang County goes on the same style of床. Phoenix I spent a ten-dollar purse in this room, when not expensive, if not only cost five-a private room. First time in many years, prices have gotten overfly, Zhouzhuang this room has added a bathroom, air-conditioning became standard room, to 200 yuan a night is in the affirmative, and I yearn to live but can not afford it. Then fold back, seeking the owner opened the door for me again, let me shoot camera. Homeowners willingly agreed, and I finally photographed this ancient bed. Out of the king's court, could not help but left a doorway opposite the one of its shadow, which is Zhouzhuang a memorable silhouette.
Twenty-dollar was not comfortable living room, mainly quilts poor sleep is not practical. No one's circumstances in order to early morning, I order their own 7:30 get up. The Shuangqiao Guang Zhao, really very few people, no one's Shuangqiaoshan photographed. Continue to wear a leisurely Lane, Zhouzhuang house there are still a lot of antique. A restaurant, proved to be a movie place, "Eighteen Springs" "Romantic Sakura" and so on, remembered the story of Eighteen Springs, inevitably some sad, Zhouzhuang is really the best place to cope with this feeling ah. There is a strange building, a big yard, which seems to be the modern audio-visual illusion of the world, I just feel really old money rich people can afford to buy such a large piece of land, build such a freshman at the yard. Tour guide explained that the whole Temple is one of the donated land to build a surname weeks, so in this town, changed his name to Zhouzhuang. The original money is not bad ah, you can also help earn ah.
I thought that there are many lanes Zhouzhuang, you can stroll a long time, but only a little turn full circle, had come to the sewage treatment plant near the back door, back door really no one to guard casually entered. Ironically, I walked out as much as women on the low voice said to me, her walk may not Maimen Piao. I respond to her, I had come from the inside out ah. Sub forward, we go back to my point of departure. Continue north, was actually reached at the main entrance archway, and wave after wave of tourists began to flood in, flowing head of Zhouzhuang. Fortunately, I was a people who have visited, without regard to visitors, if I was in a group of people is bound to join the noisy sound, you are not a taste of leisure.
When 9:30 came to the ancient stage, notices have Kun said 10 o'clock show. This I can offend, and for the theater in recent years, I was very enthusiastic, always look at the weekend drama channel, listen to leisurely Opera. Kun's reputation has always been good, but I have not been properly heard, for little knowledge of Kun Opera, just to take this opportunity to observe to observe. Take a look at the table there are a half-hour, go to the backyard, actors are make-up. Antique window frames before put on the side of a small mirror, on the Erhualian actor facing the mirror and makes a small painted Mount. I would not help Heart to pick up the camera, afraid alerted him, and only dare to do in the longer distance gave him a sketch. A small garden on the ground paved with a few pebbles fitness Road, which in turn is my favorite Oh, not even imagined to put the shoes off onto the foot of the tie.
Go back to the stage, how Look at the second floor are a good place to watch a movie, found, an excuse of the upstairs of the place, but found that every one here are put on the snack table with cup, will not make money ah? Did not dare to sit down, then turn down, but can not be reconciled, or upstairs, sat down quietly to find a corner. The stage hung a banner, was originally the province this stage as the second session of the festival Kun Session, so the TV stations to photography. A lot of press cards hanging performances with each other the name of the person greeting card, there's big shot came, and several people arranged for him to sit down, a man just entertain him sitting next to me, he took the initiative to say hello to me and asked me where the I vaguely is a reporter asked him that on the second floor bar, he immediately clarified: "It's not. you know who do? him, but the Ministry of Culture, I was provincial." Oh, I told the people sitting in the Central together with the. Of fact, these snacks and tea are entertaining guests, and he also asked me to eat cake, tea, ha ha, I can taste of tea, Ke Guazi of. He wanted to pay such a cultural hall friend, in the future may be able to work out to help him help, but they still can not seem on the table, one see the leaders got nervous. The results took out a business card, but never had the courage to go out delivery.
In Zhouzhuang, listening to Kun Opera, that I finally realized that Kun Opera is from Kunshan, ah. I finally understand why the Kun Opera is so well known, because the south has always been a soft ballad minor cavity, he suddenly came and the North such a strong, tough like the opera, they will be fans nationwide attention, of course, have a vitality of . Kun opera is actually drawing on the elements of the North after the mixed evolved. However, in Zhouzhuang is listening to opera, and both are children, has just graduated student performances, very enjoyable. Only one drama, "watchman" is a group of actors from the north Kun on stage is after all a little left behind the most authentic memory. Later, Hunan Academy of Drama student performances, I could not stand by. Because it is clear like the amateur-like, mid-life switch school Kun Opera, action-fluttering, no plate no eyes, not as good as what the children, regardless of make-up, on stage between every move she makes has a dignified manner. I doubt continue to do this college go on, China's drama will lose color. Train an apprentice chef, or a good way ah this line can not be a result of comprehensive education to improve the quality of the policy, loss of childhood training advantage.
Out of the stage, and slowly they wandered the rich Onkyo. To listen to people talk about next: "This is being promoted bridge, ah, lucky to walk on, and Zhu Rongji have gone back to it three." Onkyo's surrounded by rich, there are four loft, known as the spring, summer autumn and winter, tall, short, different. Fu Onkyo Here is a tour boat-off, a ship was 80 yuan, it seems the unified management by the management office, the boat people are only responsible for grinder. They can be very orderly lining up, not take off without permission. The pick-up at the river opposite the Chamber is a private pier, Shen, visitors to the boat to greet the ship, but was told to go to the opposite Management Office on board.
Zhouzhuang only really disappointed me is to buy something. Shanghai's business is already in the service asked the price will be entangled, discuss the price is not to buy more to be criticized, so I was in Shanghai are very careful not to casually asking about the price, much less casual bargain. Zhouzhuang, Shanghai seems to have such a person to do business. Vendor at a stall along the road have all heard the voice of criticizing tourists, and I actually have had to suffer! For the first night on the fancy glass small oil lamps, continuous asked several stalls, feel rough and not working more determined to buy. However, Zhouzhuang trip is bound to bring back just a little more agitated, circumstances, I came to sign a couple lights a small window. Department put on the two rows of windows of this small oil lamp, but the owner also named one, I think the owner of such intentions, it should use the service and decided to thin selection. Than I am and then to the store to buy a female visitor to decide soon on a pair of an offer of 12 yuan, bargain 8. And I left to pick the right selection, a long time before deciding to buy three set of lace lamp. Cost is 8 yuan, a careful look, and felt that technology is still rough, the glass from time to time some small cracks or bubbles. Even dismantle this set that, the owner and his wife said I was too careful, and later they are impatient and asked me in the end did not pick good, I Huiliaoyiju: still not satisfied. The owner's wife on the opening of: "You go, do not sell." Owner growled more loudly: "You, roll bar! Quick roll, like you like this, I think you do not buy anything." God, I did not say no to buy Mody, just want to take the time to pick a pick. How can buy things do not pick it? Although only 8 yuan, things have to go back to buy fancy a very long while, ah, after all, the little oil lamp does not really do too delicate, and so I can not be determined. Not like I bought miyaluo which pairs of Tibetan earrings, how hardly picky, because working really well, style is also extremely beautiful. However, shopkeepers such a curse was that I was extremely uncomfortable, has been blocked much and feel uncomfortable. Zhouzhuang all of the good mood have been destroyed, for which I have little interest in small oil lamp no. 've Spent the first night to rush out in Kunshan crafts and quickly bought a night-light incense. Asking price 35 yuan, 30 yuan clerk mentioned their own, and sent a small bottle of essential oils. Well, this thing good, and beautiful, but also can do lamps, incense but also more fashionable. A small oil lamp but I am reminded of the days of blackouts in Guangzhou to buy a candle just inconvenient. Shanghai does not seem to blackout bar, a small oil lamp also no use of. Moreover, compared with the small oil lamps, Tibetan butter lamp is not more features? Well, do not buy a small oil lamp, later to go to Tibet to buy more refined butter lamps, or called the lake Zaba send me a few, not better?
Turning turning really some hungry. Had intended to go farther is a place, eating a cheap, fresh legs right now, and eat in the vicinity of rich Onkyo. The results for the river's beauty, I spent 65 yuan, to a Palestinian fish, as well as chewing immobile Malan first wild, and a soup. And then continued to flee, to 14:00 o'clock, I really do not intend to return to Shanghai, on the river to find a place to sit, and sunbathing. One couple from the beginning in Zhouzhuang in the morning wandering around wedding photo shoot, I met them. Xin Langguan pretty white suit, I want to Zaba to see, so he told me to wear such a suit wedding photo shoot, so he secretly photographed the couple put down. But later, a thought, Zaba face so dark, I am afraid he will refuse to wear white suits, wearing good-looking does not necessarily bar. Let's just let Retention bar as a miss.
So sat, watching the shuttle visitors, such as weaving, but the snow does my heart is still very quiet and will not be subject to external interference. So, sitting in Zhouzhuang the river, watching a boat shaken from time to time came Minor singing, sparkling in the sun shining on the river, the two sides of the Kurau rows, turn the clock back in general, but also very cozy ah.
Count the time, afraid to miss the last one back to Shanghai by car, 3 o'clock, slowly walked back to bus station, the last shuttle is 16 point, I had to give up cleaning heads in Zhouzhuang District ambition, bought a 22 per dependence Vico seats, back to Shanghai Qijubeizhan, look at the surrounding environment and Guangzhou almost ah, but also disorganized!
1 Zhouzhuang weekend: shoot the ancient bed, listening to Kun Opera, buy oil lamps, and sunbathing.
