Returning to the hall, the place was not affected in any way. I watched an old storyteller in his seventies telling a story from the Legend of the White Snake in Mandarin that had either the flavor of the capital or the flavor of Tianjin.
The tone was ups and downs, and the exciting moments were shocking, which was more interesting than Chen Xing imagined.
Some traditional cultures are like this. If you just listen to them on the Internet, you will feel that they are just like that and noisy. It is better to lie in bed and play TikTok for a while.
But you come to another place with the attitude of traveling and listen to it live. It's surprisingly interesting.
No one among the dozens of people present made a sound. The storyteller was very satisfied with this audience, but it was a pity that young people didn’t know how to listen and listen very well. If he could shout a few times during his deliberate pause, he would be more comfortable.
Before ten o'clock, all the performances here were over. Chen Xing walked around the Xizha Scenic Area where there were fewer and fewer tourists, and finally chose to return to the B&B.
Chen Xing's room is on the second floor and is very warmly decorated. It is red, but not as dazzling as the bright red used for weddings.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling glass door is a fairly large balcony facing the water supported by pillars. He took the notebook and put it on the small table on the balcony, and made himself a cup of tea.
Most of the buildings in Xizha have light bars. Many ancient buildings today are like this. Even the ancient city walls of Xi'an have light bars showing outlines like this, which allows them to still show their appearance in the dark.
But the outline of the city wall still looks primitive and shocking because of its huge body. If the ancient town does the same, then only the splendor will remain.
Even if it is late at night and the lights are not turned on, the room still looks very bright. In fact, Wuzhen should be considered very good among the ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River. The scenic spots in Dongzha allow foreign tourists to quickly visit a lot of culture, knowledge, etc. related to the ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Xizha also has its own charm.
Not everyone is like Chen Xing, who travels to several famous ancient towns at once with the aim of finding the most beautiful ancient towns.
If he had gone to Wuzhen first and then to Xitang, he probably wouldn't have thought it was a "small attraction" like Xitang.
But for Chen Xing, this place is too complicated. If the tourism projects in Dongzha are divided into ten unknown ancient towns and villages scattered around, the number of tourists can be controlled so as not to affect the lives of local people, and their simple appearance can still be seen, and then let Chen Xing hold the camera Go find the words.
Then he will definitely be happy. Large-scale scenic spots are suitable for tourism and the public, but for a small group of people, this place is not suitable for travel, at least it cannot be a place for travelers to stay.
Taking a sip of tea, Chen Xing clicked on his column on Bee Nest. [Picture] The lights in Wuzhen at night are as bright as a market in the sky.
It is recommended as a four-star tourist attraction. You can’t see all the flowers in Chang’an in one day, but you can see all the characteristics of Jiangnan without any problem.
Most of the buildings here are built near the water. Small bridges, flowing water, and houses are like a group of meaningful ink paintings.
Like most water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, water is the soul of Wuzhen. There are criss-crossing water flows here. Two streams flow from Tianmu Mountain in the southwest of the town, twist and turn, and finally merge into Chexi.
The stream is like a jade belt, and the dozens of bridges here are the links of the jade belt. They have different forms. Some bridges can even be traced back to the Southern Song Dynasty. The flowers, plants, birds, animals, or stories about gods and goddesses on them are clearly visible and very beautiful.
However, with the development of the economy, Wuzhen's commercial atmosphere has become stronger and stronger. Various modern buildings are encroaching on the original ancient town style. Noisy and impetuous have gradually replaced the original tranquility and beauty of the water town.
Maybe this is why I don't like the commercialization of attractions, but this is just my personal opinion. Ancient town, ancient town, you should know that antiquity and vicissitudes of life should be your tone, sophistication and elegance are your characteristics... ------------------The next day, Chen Xing wanted to temporarily end his A trip to the ancient town.
The ancient towns in Jiangnan share the same origin. Seeing too many of the same scenery in a short period of time has no meaning and will only make Chen Xing feel aesthetic fatigue.
In this case, the originally beautiful ancient town will be given a low score by him. This is not okay. Others can travel casually, but you must be more objective.
He wants to finally write a book about traveling to ancient towns. After packing his things, Chen Xing checked the information and prepared to go to Suzhou to listen to Pingtan live.
He found some on the Internet to listen to last night, but the effect was incomparable to the live effect. After the originally beautiful lark-like sound was electronically transcoded and then played back from the phone's speaker, it actually had a harsh feeling.
No wonder there is a market for those home audio systems that cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. It turns out that they are of some use.
When he checked out at the Liyuan Inn, Chen Xing's landlord was also sitting in the teahouse-style lobby. He watched the guests staying in his room come over and greeted him with a smile: "You checked out so early, how can you treat us so well?" Are you satisfied here?"
"It's very good, especially the performance last night." The girl at the front desk also said with a sweet smile: "We have performances here every day. Tonight is Yue Opera. You can play in our scenic spot for another day and come and listen at night... ..." She meant that Chen Xing could come and see him whether he could stay in their B&B or not.
Chen Xing was a little moved, but then he thought, at most they were singing excerpts here. If you want to listen to them, wouldn't this trip to Suzhou be a good opportunity?
There must be a stage for professional performances over there.
"No, no, thank you, beauty." Chen Xing said. Anyway, I just separated from Sister An and the others yesterday, so I went directly to find them today, in case they didn't come back yet if I went there, I would be embarrassed.
It would be very appropriate to spend a day in Suzhou first, see the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, listen to the opera in the evening, and meet them the next day.
The transportation between Tongxiang and Suzhou is very convenient. You can even take a bus all the way there. This is something Chen Xing has never experienced abroad.
Europe is a vast and sparsely populated country, so there are long-distance buses, but buses are generally only available in cities. The East China region of China is different. Chen Xing remembers seeing news on the Internet that a student went from Yanjing to Shanghai just by taking a bus. This kind of transportation network is probably second to none in the world.
Chen Xing doesn't dare to say he is number one in the world. He doesn't know much about foreign countries, but he is definitely among the top three. After looking at Bade Navigation, I could directly search for the bus I needed to transfer to. There were stops along the way for more than 80 kilometers. Chen Xingxin thought that I would just take this bus, and I could still have something to eat at noon.
Just do it. Chen Xing left the scenic spot and got on a bus according to the navigation. He didn't eat breakfast and got off the bus whenever he felt hungry.
He still likes such surprise trips. It gives him a different experience every time. It would be great if we could find another ancient town or village like Chenjiacun, but it's probably impossible.
The road from Tongxiang to Suzhou is full of great plains. Not to mention that you won’t be able to see the mountain col of the village even if you hike for an hour, and there are no even slightly higher mountains.
The South is like this. Otherwise, the poets and literati in the South like famous mountains and rivers so much. Only when you have nothing can you think about something. This has been the case since ancient times.
The bus left the city quickly. Along the road, I saw well-developed villages. The houses were built like villas. Every once in a while, you could see large rivers or water resources such as lakes. I wanted to live in a place like this and be a fishing master every day. Are they all happy?
There is a big lake in front of your door, so you don't have to look for a place to fish every day. At first, Chen Xing looked out the window with interest, but soon he became tired. He would never dare to use his phone.
Although the phenomenon of motion sickness has improved a lot now, as long as you are calm and have a good rest when driving normally, you won't have much reaction.
But playing with mobile phones is another story. Taking the bus route, there was a long-distance bus that drove far away and ended in the Wujiang area of Suzhou. It was almost twelve o'clock when he got off.
Two buses, a total of one and a half hours' drive, made Chen Xing feel as energetic as pickled Northeastern cabbage.
But after resting here, we still have to take a car for more than an hour to get to the city of SZ. Chen Xing was wondering whether he should go over there tomorrow... He had to take a break after sitting in the car for such a long time.
The place where we got off the bus was probably in the center of Wujiang. It looked quite prosperous. It looked like a park on the right, many high-rise buildings on the left, and an Olympus-Tsinghua Sports Hall.
There were many cars coming and going. Chen Xing stopped a taxi and said, "Master, go here." He took out his mobile phone and showed it to the driver.
"Old restaurant by the river? New store?" Chen Xing looked at the navigation and said, "It says it's a century-old restaurant?"
"Come on, there is no old riverside restaurant among the century-old restaurants here. There is a Wujiang Old Town Yuan Restaurant. Forget it, I won't recommend it to you, lest you complain about me." Chen Xing said with a smile: "How could that be? , you can recommend it to me again.”
"This is what you said. We have a recording." I don't know who complained to him. He was very wary of Chen Xing asking him to recommend restaurants. He repeatedly confirmed that Chen Xing was just curious and that Chen Xing didn't look like a mean person. , then said: "Nowadays, many stores are said to be century-old restaurants on travel websites and navigation. It is not illegal to make it up, right? In addition to the one I just mentioned, there are also real old restaurants like Megalo Restaurant, but you If you don’t mind roadside stalls, I’ll recommend you a small shop run on a ship.” A restaurant on a ship?
Sea restaurant barati? Chen Xing suddenly thought of the plot in One Piece, and immediately became interested, and asked: "Can you tell me in detail?"
"His name is the Boat Fried Noodles Shop. It is run by an old couple and has a history of more than ten years. Everything costs ten yuan a portion, which is cheap and delicious. That's why I said you If you don't mind, you can go and have a look. By the way, whether you go or not is your own business. I won't get any money." Chen Xing laughed and said, "Master, what's wrong with you? How much money was deducted? , so vigilant?"
"Three hundred yuan is enough for me to eat for a few days." He saw that Chen Xing did not look like the kind of person who does one thing in front of others and another in front of others, so he felt the desire to complain. While driving, he said: "You give me Commenting on the matter, he asked me to drive to a restaurant with delicious food. I mentioned a few, and he chose one, so I sent him there. The man later complained that I was soliciting customers. I looked like a little pussy, and he looked like a group of people. Student, why are you so vicious?"
"It's really unreasonable." Otherwise, you can find a store and ask the driver to deliver it to you. Once you come here, let others recommend it. After the recommendation, you will complain if you are not satisfied. This kind of behavior is really unethical.
But it's also possible that they really think so. But at present, it seems that this driver is not suspected of soliciting customers, and the route is following the route provided by Chen Xing.
The old Jiangbian restaurant is located near Suzhou Bay. Even if it is said to be on the riverside, it is certainly not in the city. It has to let guests see the river.
But it was still a bit far from the city center. When he was approaching the place, Chen Xing saw many cranes here, and construction was still going on here.
"Is this a repair community?"
"As for the Xiu Hui Exhibition Center, in front is the Suzhou Bay Museum. If you are here to travel, you can take a look. There is also a large theater in front."
"Grand Theater? Does it perform Shaoxing opera?" The driver was a little embarrassed and said, "I don't know about that, I've never been to one."
"..."
"There is a musical fountain on the edge of Taihu Lake. It is very beautiful. If there is a performance in the Grand Theater, it will be open before and after the performance. I remember this very clearly. It is mainly free. If the weather is good, there will be many tourists, so it is difficult to find a seat. "
"Thank you." The car arrived. Chen Xing paid and got out of the car and said, "Master, I will give you a good review later."
"Forget it, forget it, I'll pick you up normally. I don't want good reviews, and I don't want bad reviews either." Then he puffed on his cigarette and drove away.
Chen Xing frowned. I really want to give him a good review. At least he introduced me a lot of things about Wujiang, as well as some snacks and streets that only locals know. He is definitely a good driver.
Pity. There are bad people among the masses, and they make random complaints just because they have the right to complain. Chen Xing withdrew his gaze and looked at the street in front of him.
This street is quite new and seems to have nothing to do with any old store. Maybe it is a tourist street created by Wujiang to develop Taihu Tourism?
Chen Xing took out the camera from his backpack first, and walked into the street while checking if there were any beauties on the street.
Jiangbian Old Restaurant is located in the center of this street. There is a shopping mall below. From the shopping mall, you can go to the restaurant on the fourth floor. From the street, you can see a huge wooden plaque hanging on the fourth floor that says Jiangbian Old Restaurant.
The sign looks good, but I don't know what it's like inside. Put away the camera and go upstairs. This shopping mall is quite large and feels like a smaller Wanda.
Chen Xing's hometown has also been building a Wanda Plaza recently. It is the first Wanda Plaza in Sichuan Province to be built in the town. Although it is not known when it was put into normal use after the repair, Chen Xing himself, as a New Territories native, still has this news. I feel very privileged.
Going up to the fourth floor, there were several beauties in cheongsam standing at the entrance. They were very young, all in their twenties.
"Sir, how many of you?"
"Just me."
"Okay, then come with me..." Chen Xing was very polite to these restaurant waiters, not only thinking that Song Shulan also worked in such a restaurant, but also that some of Chen Xing's female classmates were assigned to such restaurant job.
If Chen Xing had not transferred to another school and had no system, he would probably be a hotel waiter if he walked out of society under normal circumstances.
From this point of view, the teachers are really right when they say that hotel management has broad employment prospects? At least you will have a job after graduation.
