Traveling has become a kind of life for me. Over the years, we have always traveled from city to city.
During my five years in Shanghai-Nanjing, Suzhou was very close to Kiki, and I never got off every time I passed by. In the dream of the south of the Yangtze River, Ti Ying is green and red, the water town is full of wine flags, and 480 temples in the south are in the misty rain. In Jiangnan, Suzhou in Jiangnan is more love for me. I look forward to a romantic encounter with it and a gentle relationship with it.
Last year, the opportunity came, and the Suzhou company was ready to open. My husband and I stayed in Suzhou for a month. I have always believed that if you want to walk into a place, you don't have to come and go in a hurry, but stay for a while, get close to it and take a trip of your own. But for you and me who are exhausted now, it's really a luxury. Fortunately, I have these opportunities, and I will cherish them when I am happy. Perhaps because of the only month in Suzhou, this journey is particularly unforgettable. It may also be that I like Jiangnan water town too much, and I was deeply impressed by the close contact.
Suzhou is a petty bourgeoisie. There are always many characteristic shops in this city, but they are often scattered in every corner, either literary or exquisite or leisure.
Stroll along Pingjiang Road, cross the old days in Suzhou, with small bridges and flowing water, pink bridges and tiles, parallel waterways and adjacent river streets. It is said that Pingjiang Road is the best preserved ancient street in Suzhou, which is separated from Guanqian Street by a lane, but its quaint atmosphere is quite different from the noise outside just now.
It was a hot summer, and I chose to take a bus all the way to Pingjiang Road in the afternoon without compelling sunshine. The coastline of Yiping at Pingjiang Road 10, a small cafe about drift bottles and three markets, is very, very beautiful. You can read for fun. His unique handmade drinks, such as the legendary Yiping pudding, are smooth and delicate, full of thick milk flavor, and can never tire of eating them. The most interesting thing is the drift bottle here. You can decorate your own drift bottle, write a letter and put it in the drift bottle. You can take it away, or you can exchange your own bottle for someone else's bottle. It's interesting. Next time you come, remember what I said here. Maybe you will change my bottle.
A bookstore, a warm city, a cat-empty book city affectionately called "cat-empty" by fans. I went there with admiration. The bookstore is very small, with only four small tables and 500 books for sale. However, my insistence on originality and my love for illustration deeply infected me. Teleport to the future is a patent of Maokong and my favorite. I also seriously wrote a paragraph to my future self, looking forward to the day when I received the letter.
In the next few days, I also went to Eslite Bookstore and went to the drawer. All kinds of beautiful and practical cloth bags, grotesque puppets, and all kinds of fabric decorations are handmade. The shop is clean and quiet, suitable for choosing your own heart slowly.
What I like best is to stay in these chic shops and have my own peace. Or thinking, or enjoying, or expecting, will be intoxicated.
Suzhou is graceful, pure water town, rich in Jiangnan, full of self-confidence, and once yearned for a small bridge and flowing water family, you will meet unexpectedly in Jiangnan.
In Suzhou, I am particularly willing to stay in the film and let you meet again in a few years. It was "many years ago". We live in a picturesque and idyllic Jiangnan water town. Holding up an oil-paper umbrella, walking in a long rainy lane, misty and rainy, drunk is Jiangnan.
Although Suzhou's gardens are the best in the world, I prefer ancient towns, coming out of the mountains and ponds full of weather, meeting Mudu and entering Tongli.
Shantang, like a graceful woman, walked out of a long and soothing day from the prosperous Tang Dynasty. 1700 years of ups and downs, let the mountain pond ups and downs, interpreted all its ups and downs.
When I met Mudu, I collected money for three years, and the cork stuck in it. It is an ancient town of the same age as Suzhou. According to historical records, there was Mudu first, then Gusu City, an ancient water town, which also had garden characteristics. After many vicissitudes, its charm still exists.
Tongli ancient town, formerly known as rich soil, has a loose temperament and looks conservative, but it is confident in its bones. I especially like it here, probably because it is more like Wuzhen, which is divided into 7 small islands by 15 river and connected by 49 bridges. Every family in the town is near the water and has a boat. There are many houses in Ming and Qing dynasties, and the bridges in Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties are well preserved. I probably prefer this pattern of flowing bridges. Inadvertently revealing the charm of Jiangnan is enough to make people intoxicated and let time pass unconsciously.
In sharp contrast with the ancient rhyme, Jinji Lake is rippling with blue waves, and leisure is especially rare in surrounding buildings. Stop and walk along the lake, and your heart will gradually calm down.
Suzhou is like a beautiful woman who is in a modern city but still has a classical temperament. She has been there quietly, which makes people forget.
Suzhou is simple. In fact, the ancient gardens and towns in the south of the Yangtze River are almost the same. I was deeply impressed by the people and things I met when I went to Tongli.
It was a weekend, and five of us drove to Tongli. Parking the car, we walk and watch. In Jiangnan, where the scenery is full step by step, sometimes you can't tell where the real scenic spots are. Finally, I saw an entrance, and the guard staff stood by. After asking, I said I wanted to buy a ticket, and I paid for it alone 100. It is not unusual to see too many towns in Jiangnan. 100 yuan ticket is really a bit worthless. We are hesitating whether to go in. But it's a pity to come or not.
Suddenly my husband said, come with me, I have an idea, and then I walked along the street outside the scenic spot to a small shop, bought some ice cream, chatted with the boss, and when we got to know each other, I asked the boss if he could find a way to take us in. The boss was a little embarrassed to see so many of us, but he promised us and went to find a battery car. The boss said, you ride our battery car, then turn right into an alley and meet in front of Lin's shop. We're a little puzzled, so people won't stop us? The boss said, have you ever seen anyone travel by battery car? They are all local people, so just be careful. Then it was agreed that a person would send us in for 30 yuan, saying that he would ride a battery car.
Three battery cars, so we went directly into the scenic spot and met the boss's wife at the appointed place, but a friend actually rode the battery car and didn't walk, haha, which made the boss's wife very worried. What if she runs away? And she snuck us in. It's really simple to think about these fellow villagers. We urged him to ride the battery car back, but the proprietress always thanked him.
We wandered around leisurely and happily, and when we were tired, we chose a restaurant called Champion Restaurant for dinner. During this time, an aunt came, and she sang a Kunqu opera to us enthusiastically. You can't refuse. A song reflecting two springs reflecting the moon is quite authentic. In our praise, my aunt showed us some photos, saying that I am China's version of susan boyle, and she was on China's Got Talent. This seems a bit impressive. Aunt sang three songs in a row when she was happy, and was infected by her happy smile, which naturally added fun to the trip.
During my stay in Suzhou, I met many people and things and left many footprints. Of course, I have also been to the humble administrator's garden in Hanshan Temple, tasted delicious food, and seen exquisite embroidery and high-quality silk.
I finished my trip to Suzhou in a short month, and I already feel at home in Suzhou. I began to like its three meals a day, stand by the canal, watch the sunrise and sunset, and feel the elegance, beauty and positive progress of the city. I've been there. I've felt it with my heart. It is not so outstanding, but as long as you have been there, you will definitely feel its beauty.
The company is on the right track. We're leaving. After I came back, I went to Guanqian Street to buy the same bracelet. I bought one when I first went to Suzhou, but one day I accidentally broke it and the beads were scattered all over the floor. I am not reconciled. That bracelet bears all my feelings for Suzhou, and I have been carrying it with me today.
It is said that only reading and traveling will live up to me. I am always on the road!
