Today, got up early, the plan is to Shaoxing, Hangzhou East Bus Station rushed to the way shuttles, fairly smoothly, and Shaoxing, the bus to go to catch up with a group and finally a seat. Hangzhou to Shaoxing is very convenient, every 10 minutes on the there is a group, but there seems to have only Coach to Shaoxing, car, and other points unknown.
Along the way, then came to the passenger transportation center of Shaoxing, it seems that in the outskirts of the city of Shaoxing. Take a look at the city bus to the license plate and found that 3-way car the "Orchid Pavilion", which "come and do not have waste of effort," it first went to the residence of Wang Xizhi admired bar. after the decision proved correct, Orchid Pavilion is a small town in Shaoxing, at least from the city center there are 8,9 Station Road, If you want to play with one day's time in Shaoxing, the best first went to Orchid Pavilion, so that can be a leisurely afternoon, other attractions in the city center turning.
3-way bus sitting in the car, all the way into the sloshing to the Orchid Pavilion. Just feeling out at the scenery from the city gradually shift to rural areas, the car's "farmers" more and more, where no other derogatory word for farmer, feeling indeed so. looked out the window of the most common sight in rural China, and my heart a little bit puzzled, Wang Xizhi literati such as, how could fancy such a place, that there is no sign of great mountains and rivers do.
Is doubt, the out "to the Orchid Pavilion," pulled me back. Just get off a bamboo grove on the rushing toward us, ah, a bit "vista" feeling, a bamboo grove along the path, came to Orchid Pavilion entrance. At this time has been completely do not see any of the characteristics of rural areas, and it really was the literati:)
Tickets are not expensive, 25 yuan, into the garden and found that many instructors give to explain, well, they mixed with a tour group in the bar.
Garden Aspect many, various inscriptions, stone are numerous, the latter could not resist the temptation to buy an Orchid Pavilion Preface to the fans, but also considered arty one back. WANG Xian's calligraphy on the stone also pick up a pen to write the a few words, think of himself as a child participated in a brush classes, do not know if finished bottles of ink. from the brush, pen, to pen, and now it is only the keyboard typing, I wonder if in another 100 years, human beings what tools?
Lanting on the right there is a small lake, across a bamboo bridge, you can see a small restaurant. Coincided with lunch time. A point of a molded dried vegetable roast meat, a mushroom vegetables, farm vegetables taste very good, ate two bowl rice, the most ironic of all, this small hotel built according to the lake, distant mountains, near clear lake, excellent scenery. If the summer is even more perfect, and this landscape, this farm vegetables, the West Lake side Louwai Lou again Suande Le What?
Checkout before 22 per count, we also found an advantage:)
After dinner back to Portland to visit a room, to a friend send a postcard with an Orchid Pavilion, satisfied.
Return to the town to buy because no map, called the chartered a yellow croaker, straight Shen Garden. Shen Yuan is actually very small, only two worthy of 25 yuan tickets, one is that the famous "Chai Toufeng" Monument, and the other One is the beauties bloom bloom, the rest not worth mentioning, if it should be 25, it can be the value of 100 Orchid Pavilion, "wrong, wrong, wrong":)
Out the door you can see the hometown of Lu Xun, as if tickets 60 yuan, hesitated a long time, that seemed not very value, no matter whether, on the walk around Old Street bar. Came in a long string of right, buy the shamisen, stinky tofu, tells us stroll. Finally, in Xianheng hotel and buy some wine and back to p-coumaric, Road back to Hangzhou.
