Gaoting snow is one of the attractions on the side of the North Star Pavilion, only to see the attractions of the sign, but did not see the Gaoting Mountain, not to mention the snow on the pavilion. Because of the name of the name Niu Gao is Hangzhou, only a vague guess Gao Ting Mountain should be named with Niu Gao about it.
Running south to the Gongchen Bridge, Canal Square suddenly bustling, Gongchen Bridge side of the monument that is the southern end of the Canal, a couplet on the plaque, "Wu ditch Sui Cao three dynasties of the great structure, a water, five rivers, six provinces, thousands of miles of thoroughfares," from the two dimensions of time and space describes the Grand Canal of the far-reaching,
and then run back to see the Canal story constantly, and then taste this couplet rhyme. The story of the canal is a good example of the meaning of this link. Canal Square to the east of the plaque is a good lively business district, last night in front of the shopping mall street dance youth and this morning on the west bank of the river old people's babbling and practicing red song **** perched on a river, no sense of incongruity. Gongchen Bridge here there is a water bus marquee, a few old people who have no time requirements are waiting for the boat to Wulinmen.
Dahu Road here to see a brief that since the Qing Dynasty here on the water to set up a gate, the road set up a barricade, on the passing merchants to collect taxes, due to the economic boom, the tax figures here is quite amazing, is an important source of tax revenue in the Qing Empire.
And then southbound to meet a small branch from the east into the canal - Shengli River, think about just upstream also met a called Red Flag River. It will be for the revolutionary era left behind the marks sigh, the charm of the Grand Canal is also so, just a few kilometers of the journey through the thousands of years of history, this run can be long enough.
The Victory River food street is for tourists to create a tourist food, riverside Fuyi warehouse but since the Qing Dynasty by the government of the big people built by the official granary, the warehouse was a grand scale, far-reaching strategic significance, and Beijing's "South New warehouse" and called "the world's granary!

Xiangji Temple is my last stop on the canal run, the newly renovated temple feel is the architectural style of the early Tang Dynasty, it is said that this is the Grand Canal to leave Hangzhou's last temple, but also my last temple of the canal run, and then wave will be the wrong train (cover your face)
Along the river and down the river from time to time there are freighters slow and easy to walk along the river, there is an uncle holding a swaddling clothes in the freighters on the deck of the not-so-enormous! The boat is not wide enough on the deck of the cargo boat; there is a big sister to take advantage of the still good sunshine to dry the sheets; there is a big mother in the side of the gangway to wash and clean the breakfast pots and pans; there are also parked on the shore waiting to load and unload demolition of the construction debris of the able-bodied workers, who demolished the house not a day later should be the antique canal scenic spot like the present star in the Dade Road, Xiaohe straight street of the teahouse, bed and breakfast or a variety of characteristics of the small store; there is a cruise ship slowly passed, the boat people drink tea and look at both sides of the river, we each other for the scenery in each other's eyes. We are the scenery in each other's eyes. I always fantasize that there will be a wormhole in time on this river, and these boats will sail into the Sui and Song dynasties or Tongzhou thousands of years ago. In addition, the parallel space in which we meet again may not still be as far away from each other as at this time, but in another space and time to meet the intimate.
This is not a slow and steady run, Yue Running Circle square only four kilometers of the distance was run into the canal song. This song and the square dance and song of the aunt on the other side of the river became a day-to-day life.
