The first real sense of travel, and is with the family, the mood is extraordinarily relaxed. The first time I traveled, I was with my family, and the mood was very relaxed. I chatted with them all the way to the soothing sound of the music, and I didn't find it boring. After nearly three hours of trekking across 205 kilometers, we arrived at West Lake in time for lunch.
Luckily, the weather was good, with a clear sky and white clouds, and not a "sudden storm" as the song goes. Standing on the lake far away, looking at the water sparkling like a wrinkled silk with the wind ripples away, the body and mind comfortable.
We took a small wooden boat, along the lake tea house to the broken bridge tour round. Perhaps because of the long stay in a familiar environment, suddenly faced with a wide view of the fresh natural landscape, the whole person is emptied down, the inner very quiet.
The ferryman was an optimistic, middle-aged man who told us that it would take about 45 minutes to complete the tour.
I was a little puzzled why they only use a wooden pulp rowing boat, uncle smiled and said, before going on duty after rigorous training, an oar operation not only saves energy can also be rowed very stable, the key lies in the technology. He rocked the boat on the West Lake for eight years, for the visual inspection of the lake weather and wind direction has long been comfortable.
When we swam to the center of the lake, a boat that passed us (perhaps at the request of tourists), the crew intentionally shook the wooden boat to sway, and the tourists on board screamed.
While laughing, we asked if there had been any accidents on the West Lake, and the uncle said that there had only been one accident in the past eight years, or the tourists themselves jumped into the lake. When the crew jumped off the boat and picked up the man he had drowned.
The uncle could not help but lament, what can not see things, have to throw themselves into the lake? Life is longest but a hundred or so years. He ushered in the West Lake every day and sent away a number of tourists, gossiping with each other on the lake, often feel that time is short.
We were infected by the uncle's optimism and were able to spend a more enjoyable day. The tour bus driver we later met in Wuzhen was the complete opposite.
The ride from West Lake to Lingyin Temple was filled with lush trees. Along the way, there are also large Longjing tea plantations planted on the slopes of the mountains. Surrounded by green mountains and water all year round, I wonder if the happiness index of the residents in the neighborhood will be relatively high, haha.
I think living in this kind of environment far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the temperament and cultivation of the residents will not be too bad. The first thing I'd like to say is that I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get the best out of my new home, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to get the best out of my new home.
His words are not unreasonable.
His words are true. It is not difficult to imagine that when the tourists are dense, it may be another scene. It's not hard to imagine that there will be a lot of hustle and bustle where there are crowds of people, not to mention the fact that it's a commercial area.
Mom and Dad invited incense into the Lingyin Temple to pray for blessings, I always do not believe in Buddhism, and my brother and I stayed in the temple outside the mountain road linger. The good thing is that the air in the mountains is fresh, and there is a faint fragrance of leaves. From time to time between the mountain road echoed similar to the birds chirping clear sound, passing the small stores realize that the shopkeeper with a similar wooden whistle blowing out the sound of soliciting tourists. On the way back, a squirrel poked its head out of a tree, attracting passing tourists to stop and watch and take pictures. It seems to be disturbed, a moment and drilled into the tree hole slipped away.
From the West Lake to the Broken Bridge between walking back and forth has consumed a lot of energy (usually lack of exercise consequences), to the peak of the Feilai Peak only had to walk on the mountain road, and did not climb to the top, a little regret.
The mountain walls are dotted with stone statues (some I can not name the Buddha), to the mountains and forests shrouded in a layer of solemnity.
I remember not long ago, in the news to see some scenic spots renovation of the ancient Buddha, the original elegant Buddha renovated into a fancy face, all the loss of the solemnity of the ancient Buddha, not to mention the computer screen can not be blocked that the strong "countryside joy.
Hopefully, this kind of snake-oil move will not come back. Otherwise, the future travel, the ancient ruins are all red and green color block visual impact. That can not be called ancient ruins, directly renamed "rural wind oil painting exhibition" may be more appropriate.
I heard that Songcheng evening show, simply eat a bowl of noodles, we went into the Songcheng. After the gate checkpoint, walk a short distance through the "love gate", the stone bridge on both sides of the railing tied to the heart-shaped prayer board, look a red hot.
Listening to the garden staff said, the tourist season a day to receive tens of thousands of tourists. I'm afraid it won't take three or two days to hang a red bridge. I don't know where the color of the prayer boards that were hung up soon before they were finished with those sincere wishes ended up in order to make room for the fresh blood.
Good wishes are everywhere, missed the "love door" can not miss the "past life". The "Past Lives" and "Love Gate" are really the same.
Into the garden I realized Songcheng is a "Water Margin" theme park, most of the stores are in accordance with the Water Margin in the well-known several characters, set the plot.
Along the market street to the Songhe East Street walked around. Seeing the Happy Forest casually took a picture. Iron store is mostly less commonly used knives, did not see the store. Wudalang bakery far from the stereo can be heard yelling "cooking cakes, fragrant and crispy cooking cakes ......", selling cakes shopkeeper a Wudalang costume, look is much stronger than Wudalang. Sun Erniang baozi store I did not dare to take pictures, the lobby hangs a few broken hands, broken foot model, there are tourists sitting next to the limbs calmly eat buns.
Children have a natural tendency to play in the water. When we arrived we did not see the water splashing activities, the pool is a few children and older friends to play with a lot of fun. The whole Songcheng belongs to the sixth room square and happy castle is the most lively. After watching the show from the first theater, I heard the radio informing that there was a fairy yarn show in the sixth room. The square is crowded, the program sound effects deafening, noisy and crowded environment so that people are not in the mood to look at the expression.
I have always loved postmarks, for no apparent reason. Unfortunately, I've never received a postcard, and I feel it's too pretentious to mail it to myself. I stopped by and couldn't think of anyone to send it to. This kind of worthless thing is not liked by too many people anymore.
The bookmarks with tassels are good, and I remembered that I already have a lot of bookmarks, so I turned around to see that my family was already far away, and I hurriedly jogged to keep up with them.
Passing by a silk store, I saw a set of Hanfu modified version of the Republic of China style dress, some heart. But at the moment of seeing the price, I have given up on it. This kind of clothing is not practical, though it is appropriate. At the moment, I am afraid that it will be a pain in the neck for a long time.
The show opened at 18:00, and the front row of the theater was full of tourists after we were seated. The entire theater can accommodate about three to four thousand people.
4 acts of the show, after watching the first act of the Song Palace Banquet Dance, I was a little disappointed. It is reasonable to say that such a large theater should be very strict in the programming, and I do not want to see the uneven dance movements of the actors and actresses in the show, so the standard can be imagined.
Act II, "Jingo Tiema", about Yue Fei single-handedly jumped down from the city, blood bath to save the battlefield is still in the swaddling clothes of the baby, before the death of the child's mother finally appeared from the hands of Yue Fei took over the baby, kneeling down to kowtow to thank you, the pain and tears.
When this scene was played, the girl sitting next to me was sobbing. A male voice in the darkness asked her, "Is it so touching?" , she sobbed and replied, "Finally ...... worth a little ticket money back." Afterwards I just remembered, she this is joy and snot ah!
I prefer the third act of the Legend of the West, the Legend of the White Snake segment. The scene simulation is very realistic. When Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen met at the Broken Bridge, the entire stage and even the audience were raining, combined with the performance as if there is a real illusion of being in the embankment of the rainy Jiangnan. When it comes to the water flooding, the stage is like being in the middle of a flood.
What touched me was the design of the props, 3D effects, and stage scenes. If the actors' dancing and movements could be more standardized and unified, it would be perfect.
If Songcheng is compared to a busy street with a lot of traffic, then Wuzhen is a quiet alley. I prefer the quietness of Wuzhen to the movement of Songcheng.
The hustle and bustle of Songcheng is the epitome of the entertainment-oriented reality, while the coldness of Wuzhen contains a strong cultural flavor. The same bowl of noodles, Songcheng price 26 yuan, Wuzhen only charge 15 yuan. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world, and you'll be able to do it all in one place.
In fact, talking about money is not vulgar at all. The two-day tour down, the big head are spent on the scenic spot tickets. Instead, I ignored the local specialties.
The temperature in Wuzhen was much hotter than the day before at West Lake. The good thing is that the streets of Xijie are full of ancient wooden houses, which are visually cooler than the concrete walls.
At the ferry port, we saw that there is a free ferry, and we got on it to swim for a while on the Xishi River. I thought it was a turn around the original way back, but did not want to be a one-way route, the boatman sent us back to the entrance of the Xijie Street. In the end, we had to get on the tour bus and let the master send us to the deepest part of the alley.
The master of the tour bus is a young man in his early 30s. We asked him to explain a little, but he replied that there is nothing to tell. Asked him why, he only said too tired to talk, he was only less than 10 o'clock in the morning.
I can not help but think of the West Lake ferry crew, the same work in the scenic area, but the mentality is very different. I guess I don't know if this is related to age. But isn't it more important to be young and energetic?
We strolled down Xijie Street just in time to avoid the show. The National Music Theater was empty and the Wuzhen Bookstore next door was empty. We were told there was a shadow puppet show and a film movie, so I'm sorry I missed the show.
The window in the Yaling Xuan displays an old film camera. I remember when I was a child in the village and the elders carried a bench to the neighboring village to watch film movies. In the evening of July and August, after a hasty dinner, not caring about sweaty clothes, clutching a small wooden stool, deep and shallow feet to follow the elders, running lost shoes are too late to turn back to pick up. When the movie was over, I went back to the road to look for my shoes, where I could still find them.
I didn't get a picture of the store's name, so I'll just call it by its license plate. The store displays some of the Chinese paintings and sketches. I didn't see anything I particularly liked.
But all the landmarks of tourist attractions are always occupied by all kinds of tourists, nothing else, just to take pictures. Similar to the trip here, simple and brutal, there is a picture of the truth.
Mom wanted to go up to take pictures to remember, did not notice that behind a row of POSS waiting to be photographed ladies. The young male photographer was very sweet, and after saying, "This sister, please give way first," the mom smiled and stepped aside.
The large bamboo dustpan (or gabion, as we call it there) took up half the wall. The wall opposite it is covered by a large wall-crawler. This location should be particularly beautiful, I kinda like, but unfortunately did not master the angle, the photo was blurred, I will not go on the picture.
This time, I was in a hurry, and I simply strolled down Xijie Street, experiencing the atmosphere of the Republic of China. And did not go to observe the wood heart art museum. Since we came to the home of the literati, we should always look at the art works with the literati flavor.
Next time if there is another opportunity to come to Wuzhen, I think I will stay in the Wuzhen Inn. Whether it's Xijie Street or Dongjie Street, it's not easy to feel the beauty of it by walking from end to end. Otherwise, to this tour, can only be reduced to superficial talk.
A travel, sounds like a particularly romantic thing. But in front of the reality, this romance seems a little pale, because we may end up because the budget overspending, have to give up some of the trip. So much so that some attractions are not in-depth to understand, which may lead to travel into a perfunctory work.
Due to the lack of advance strategy, the original can be purchased in advance of the group purchase of tickets, the current purchase price is much more expensive. The more money you spend, the more you can save, the more you can eat a few local food. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world.
Traveling allows us to step out of our lives for a short time and enter a state of no contest. After a short break, we can better integrate into life and make life bearable.
Overall, the first travel experience was not bad, especially with family.
