Chen Xing got off the plane with a relaxed mood. But immediately he, like everyone else who stepped out of the plane, was confused.
"It's so hot!" The people are still the same, and the airport is still the same airport. Chen Xing has transferred flights to Shanghai before, and they all got off the plane in Pudong, but the temperature is not right. Shanghai shouldn't be very livable. ?
I took out my mobile phone and saw that the temperature in Shanghai Pudong area today was 41 degrees Celsius! Before I returned home, I felt that Paris was hot. This year’s summer in Paris was the hottest in decades. People in the city didn’t like air conditioning, so the parks were crowded with people coming to cool off this summer.
My mother also said that it is very hot in Sichuan Province now, and the outdoor temperature is higher than last year. This is quite normal, because Sichuan Province is very hot every summer, and the monsoons in the basin are not easy to blow through, so it would be strange if it is not hot.
But Chen Xing is not worried about them either. There are air conditioners at home and in the store. As for my mother, who knows how to enjoy things better than me, she won't make herself miserable at home. She is probably eating watermelon with the air conditioner blowing on right now.
But I didn't expect that Shang Hai would also die. Fortunately, he was traveling light and simple this time. If he had brought a lot of stuff with him, Chen Xing really didn't know if he would still have the desire to travel.
He took off his windbreaker and held it in his hand. After walking out of the airport, he quickly hailed a taxi. The air conditioner was also turned on inside the taxi. After getting in, it was as comfortable as eating iced Coke. Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master, go to South Station."
"Okay, handsome guy." He saw Chen Xing wiping sweat as soon as he came in, and asked: "The weather is a bit hot recently, is the air conditioner warm enough?"
"That's enough. I'm just not used to it. The weather here is hotter than in my hometown." The driver was still very talkative, and his tone of voice was very comfortable to listen to. The two chatted about the recent weather, and then Chen Xing I know that the domestic weather this year has been extremely abnormal, and the entire south has experienced hot weather that has not been seen in decades.
The weather is extreme, the plateau is warm and high-pressure, Chen Xing was stunned at the various terms used. Living up to Chen Xing's impression of their group, the taxi drivers were all very talkative, whether they were from Yanjing or Shanghai.
In ancient times, chivalrous people liked to go to taverns to inquire about information. In modern times, you can definitely ask taxi drivers.
Chen Xing quickly got on the train. Perhaps everyone has his or her own opinion on the most beautiful ancient town.
Some of it is because a certain ancient town is his hometown, and some of it is because of the things, characters, etc. that he encountered while traveling in this place that he will remember for a lifetime. Aiwujiwu likes a place.
Falling in love with a person or a city is normal. But if you enlarge this most beautiful place to a hundred, then there will be many places to choose from.
Chen Xing collected some of the most famous ancient towns in the Jiangnan area. He has not been going home recently, so he will first go to all the ancient towns that he has memorized.
On the high-speed train, Chen Xing used the video on his mobile phone to make a preview.
"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Xing. I haven't updated for a long time, but I have said before that I am going to study in France, right? I went to Africa with my teacher after the holiday, and I just came back these days."
"Opening a new program, the tentative name is 'Looking for the Most Beautiful Ancient Town in China'. The most beautiful is plural, because I will keep looking, so if I haven't been to your hometown, don't worry, maybe you can wait a little longer. I’ll be here soon?”
"The current coordinates are just out of Shanghai, on the way to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. If you want me to come to your hometown, you can like and vote first, and then leave the name of the ancient town in the comment area. I also look forward to meeting you unexpectedly. ..." The couple sitting opposite heard what Chen Xing said and secretly took out their mobile phones to confirm. When Chen Xing finished recording the video and was about to send it, she took her mobile phone and asked: "Hello, is this you?" What was on her mobile phone was The video Chen Xing posted before was recorded in Xijiang, where he talked about his travel experiences.
This episode has almost 3 million views. It is currently his most popular show.
"It's me, hello."
"Really! It's really you. We like you so much. He and I are both your fans." Chen Xing smiled and nodded.
He also met a few fans in Arles, and some even came specifically to see his works. They were photography fans and gave him a lot of snacks. There are even lollipops in his bag now.
"Thank you for your support. I haven't done much with my account." Her boyfriend also said: "The videos you took are better than those taken by other travel grandma. We also went to Xi'an some time ago and visited you. Have you ever made a video like this for a restaurant you’ve been to?”
"Let's do it. I will take photos of many small shops in Paris later on."
"Paris is too far, and we don't speak foreign languages, but we are planning to save money to go to Thailand, probably next year." They talked about travel very clearly. They have been to many cities in China, but basically It's a short-term trip, and I'll go there for a few days when both of them have free time.
"Where do you come from?"
"We are all from Jiaxing."
"I happen to be going to your side." Chen Xing said,
"Xitang, are you familiar with it?"
"You want to take pictures of ancient towns? Are you going to Xitang?"
"Yes, I'm probably staying there tonight." The boy originally wanted to echo a few words, but the girl was very straightforward and said: "There is nothing good to go to in Xitang. It is most famous for its porches, but there are also some in Wuzhen. , I suggest you go directly to Wuzhen."
"Ah?" Chen Xing was a little surprised. Her boyfriend quickly said: "We are from Jiaxing and are very familiar with Xitang. We have seen the scenic spots near our home countless times, so we don't think there is anything strange." The girl nodded and continued: "Yes Ah, although the whole country says that the ancient towns here are beautiful, I heard from my grandma that many of the beautiful ancient towns were destroyed during the Anti-Japanese War and were newly built." Under the influence of Chen Xing's friendly temperament, she The conversation was very lively.
After all, Internet celebrities, celebrities, and the like can't be seen just anywhere. Not only did she see one in the car going home today, he didn't even have any airs about him, and it was very comfortable to chat with him.
If you don't talk to Chen Xing more at this time, it will probably be difficult to meet him again in the future. Maybe Chen Xing will put their chat today in the video, and it will be seen by millions of people. The girl is very excited when she thinks of this, and will give all of Jiangnan's wealth to Chen Xing Shake out.
"So you recommend Wuzhen?"
"Well, Wuzhen is good. There is also Qantong. This is an ancient village that values literature and education. Although it is not very famous, people around us know this place. There is also Zhujiajiao, commonly known as the first town of Shanghai Township." Chen Xing took note of them all. They were all recommendations from local people, and they were more useful than what he saw on the Internet.
"Any more?"
"There is also Tongli, Venice is commonly known as Xiaotongli, haha, Zhujiajiao is also good, the first town of Shanghai Township..." Because of the close distance, the bus arrived very quickly.
Chen Xing said goodbye to the couple and took the No. 702 bus according to the route they introduced.
It was already afternoon. Chen Xing had only eaten one flight meal today and was a little hungry. However, he didn't want to eat anything casually in Jiaxing. Instead, he saved his stomach for Xitang.
He has to record a video. Although the girls he met on the high-speed rail did not speak highly of Xitang, Chen Xing felt that this was mostly due to local people’s natural contempt for local attractions.
Just like Chen Xing's hometown, they also have some scenic spots there that are free for locals and no one can go there. They also have a hot spring hotel where a night's stay costs about 500 yuan.
But people from Chengdu like to come here to play, especially in summer. So Chen Xing still has high expectations for Xitang.
When he was about to arrive at the place, Chen Xing took the action camera... This camera mainly records the third perspective. The first perspective has the system's own recording function. The effect is better than using a 4k video recorder, and there is no need for real-life recording. camera.
Chen Xing thought that as soon as the car stopped and he got out of the car door, he would see the small bridges and flowing water. But after the car stopped, what Chen Xing saw was a gate to a scenic spot.
Well, shouldn't expect anything from that. Buy a ticket to enter the scenic spot, the ticket is 100 yuan, and you can travel freely within two days.
The girl said that Xitang has a free admission policy, but Chen Xing thought it was important to protect ancient buildings, so he should buy it.
The gate of the scenic spot made Chen Xing calm down a little bit, but when Chen Xing walked in and saw the river inside the scenic spot and the corridor and shed built on the edge of the river, Chen Xing was silently shocked in an instant.
"Wow..." The ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River doesn't need to be well photographed. Any photo can be regarded as a trap for Chinese people.
The water in the river is quiet and flows slowly. The sun shines on these ripples, giving the water a color like fish scales. There are old people wearing coir raincoats and punting boats on the waterway, and there are also people walking slowly in the corridors and sheds beside the river.
Chen Xing had checked the information before and knew what a porch was. To put it simply, this is a covered street built along the river, with the river on one side and shops on the other side.
This kind of building is most common in the south of the Yangtze River where there are dense water networks. People use the river as a road and use bamboo boats to travel. Many transactions are held on the boats. Therefore, this kind of shed-style building connects the river and shops, and can not only go shopping but also protect against wind and rain. Architecture came into being.
It sounds simple, but when you come here and see it in person, you have a different mood. Chen Xing didn't even care that he was still filming the video, and hurriedly walked to the porch.
When I entered the scenic spot, I felt that the temperature had dropped a bit. Now when I arrived at the river, the temperature instantly reached a comfortable level...but there were a lot of people and it was a bit stuffy.
But much better than before. When you come to this special street, you can see the river on the left. You can hear the sound of the water flowing when the boatmen are rowing, the tourists are taking photos and talking in the sheds, and the small shops with lights on are on the right.
Of course, the things sold are pretty much the same. People who travel frequently can probably see these souvenir shops in scenic spots all over the country. There is not much difference between this place and the shops Chen Xing visited before.
However, walking here does make people feel more peaceful. Continuing forward, Chen Xing heard the sound of opera.
Shaoxing opera? No, it’s a song!
"Green bricks are accompanied by tile paint, white horses tread new mud. Mountain flowers and banana leaves are stained with red scarves at dusk..." The voice is slow, but it is sung in the form of opera after rearrangement.
The sound was very nice. Chen Xing quickly followed the sound. The place where the sound came from was still inside the shed, with about ten tourists surrounding the door.
There were not many of them, but the shed itself was very narrow, and a dozen or so people had already crowded the entrance of the shop.
The roads are blocked. Some people even stepped on the chairs on the left side of the porch to look inside. Chen Xing's height is not bad in China. Although today's young people are getting more and more ridiculously tall, Chen Xing can still maintain his height advantage. You can see what's inside when you look into the store.
The store is not big, and the shops in the sheds are like this. The area is only the same as the pavilions built in ordinary scenic spots, even if it is larger, it is not much.
The door was blocked by a table, and inside was a short-haired woman in modern attire, and she sang the song.
After looking at her for a long time, Chen Xing finally saw the products displayed in the store. It's actually a tape? Not CDs, CDs are of great use now. Chen Xing knows that many units now like to use CDs to save data. Although Chen Xing doesn't know what they think, in Chen Xing's opinion, using USB disks is also very convenient.
But I haven’t seen the tape in a long time. Chen Xing can still see the young Jay Chou on the tape. I immediately felt the desire to buy it, even if I took it back to collect it. When Jay Chou became famous, Chen Xing had no money to support it, so all he listened to were pirated copies. After all, Chen Xing owed Jay Chou a lot of money for his albums.
"Raindrops are sprinkled on the eaves, and birds are rising from the smoke. It seems like you are there..." After finishing the song, the girl smiled at the audience, and then spoke to her mobile phone.
It turned out to be a live broadcast. A tourist asked: "Is it still profitable to open a store like this now?" The girl sitting in the store live broadcasting said: "It's just a hobby, just for fun, uncle, do you want to buy a tape?"
"If you don't buy it, you won't buy it. If you buy it, you won't have a chance to listen to it. To listen to this, you need a radio, right? The last time I saw a radio was ten years ago. Little sister, do you still sing?"
"If you don't buy the tape, you won't sing." Another young man asked, "How much does your tape cost?"
"It depends on the situation, the cheapest one is a hundred, the expensive one is several thousand." The audience immediately crossed their faces and dispersed... The road was finally no longer blocked.
Chen Xing stretched his neck, holding the camera and sitting on the bench on the left side of the shed next to the river. There are wooden benches at regular intervals in the shed, which are good for resting.
He didn't look inside the store. Instead, he sat with his back to them, preparing to take pictures of the scenery on the river.
Chen Xing walked for so long and ran around chasing the sound. He didn't know where he ended up. There seemed to be an inn opposite him?
Yes, it's an inn. A bluestone ladder extends from the river to a small courtyard. If you look carefully, you can see that this courtyard is the balcony of the house in front. It has a roof made of tiles, two dark black pillars, and two big red lanterns hanging on it.
There is a sign hanging on the railing to prevent people inside from falling into the water. Lotus Garden Inn. There are two old-fashioned wicker chairs on the balcony.
Chen Xing hasn't seen this kind of chair for a long time. I remember that there was a wicker chair at home before. Although it was different from this style, it was really comfortable to sit on.
This room seemed to be occupied by people. There was a father and a seven or eight-year-old girl standing on the bluestone stairs. The little girl was squatting and feeding the fish with something in her hand.
As soon as he got excited, he smiled and played with the water, holding up splashes of water with his right hand. Chen Xing quickly clicked the shutter button a dozen times to capture the happy look of the child playing with the water in the river.
The bridge is long with dark tiles and white walls, and the warm sunshine shines on the wine glass. Who doesn’t remember Jiangnan?
