Go to Beautiful China Wandering Travelling in Suzhou

Need not to consider, just follow your feet along the narrow and zigzag lane back to the old times. Even myself also do not know how many windows I had stopped to peep, full of mystery. Seem like I was pass through the time tunnel back to the world in hundreds or thousands of years ago.

Occasionally, I enter into an Embroidery Hall during my tour in China, Suzhou. See the embroidery ladies sitting there and embroidering, the fingers like dancers deftly dancing on the canvas, a kind of beauty, fantastic and miraculous. Embroidery is a kind of cultural art, and also an elegant demeanor of aestheticism. You will be shocked and subdued by this brightly colors of art, and involuntary praise its beauty.
In the depth of Shangtang Street, find a tea house with Pingtan in Suzhou Dialect is easy, lay down burden with a cup of tea, the fragrance of tea and tune wash the nerve. Drink a cup of Biluochun tea, seems to appreciate the beautiful girl of Yangtze River delta in legend. Pingtan, also known as the Nanci or Xiaoshu, is a kind of storytelling and ballad singing in Suzhou dialect. Speaking or singing, it is divided into three kinds of performing ways. All players are ballad and singing by themselves, just need one desk, two chairs, one Sanxian (a three-stringed plucked instrument) and one Pipa (a plucked string instrument with a fretted fingerboard). As an outlander, I cannot understand the Suzhou dialect, so the local people enjoying the Pingtan are to enjoy the stories, but I enjoy its music. It does not need luxury, just the graceful ballad and singing and wonderful speaking, it can pass through your heart easily, let you moving in it.

Suzhou is a water city, over 40% of this city is covered in water and Great Canal. In the narrow and shallow rivers, you have great chance to easily read endless vicissitudes as well as me. It is conceivable that the road you just passed by has the traces of some ancestors. Maybe the old spring you just passed by is still casting the elegant beauty of old girls. The famous Chinese writer had said, the beauty of Suzhou lane is hiding in its tranquility, its elegance, because it is abundant but invisible, and the delicately style. I like Suzhou, especially its quiet lanes. Because I can easily find the huge change of life and the rebirth of city in lanes, and from this produce a kind of pride and joyful.
However, the society is progressive, the stopped steps only waste time. But the lanes in Suzhou are still there, waiting for people to discover them, to open a new place for self.

A Brife of Introduce The oriental Venice Suzhou in China

Suzhou, in Jiangsu Province, is close to Shanghai in half hour by bullet train, and of course, it becomes the popular place for China and the place I often travel to avoid the hustle and bustle city life of Shanghai. Suzhou is the blend place of ancient times and modern times. Although staying in short time every time, I always remember its elegant tone when I free. Of course, I think most people are interested in its long history. From Wu and Yue Dynasties, Suzhou is one important part in the history of Yang River delta, thousands of scholars and poet add abundant colors to Suzhou culture.
Everyone knows the travel to Suzhou is to experience the slow rhythm in Suzhou style. From the second open eyes, I soak in the elegant temperament of Suzhou, walk in the complex quiet alleys to taste its veiled and delicate aesthetic taste, and the intrapersonal and not stuck-up character.
In Suzhou, elegant gardens hiding in various corners of Suzhou are the bright pearls interspersing in this city. Pacilion of Surging Waves, Lion Grove, Humble Administrator's Garden and Lingering Garden are all the brilliant diamonds shining brightly. Every garden witnessed how much history and ups and downs. Turn back occasionally, the scenes in and out garden are different completely, out the door is the noisy streets and passerby, and in door is the quiet and beautiful land.

Suzhou is not only famous for the beautiful gardens, but also noted for cate. Walking into the Eunuch Lane, it seems walk into the cate festival, lots of famous restaurants, there are too many things to see, Songshu Guiyu, Dongpo Pork, etc. The cate and snacks there are not only famous for delicious tastes, but also full of vitality owing to the immemorial culture.
In fact, as the most representative thing in Suzhou, I still cherish the lanes, old market streets. When you walk along lane, always hear of the leisure and elegant tune with strong Suzhou style, or rubdown the beautiful girl maintaining the oiled paper umbrella. The pieces of slates, rows of old wooden doors, sets of stone bridge passing through history and parts of moving stories, they old but simple, whisper but full of amorous feelings.
The taste of Suzhou saturates into the river, lane, bridge and quiet environment. In the deep lanes of Pingjiang Road, there are many former residences scholars of the past. Exploring these former residences, I like to find the splendid stories hiding back. One brick, one tile, one house, one spring and one tower, they bear the long history of 2,500 years, accumulate the deep cultural deposits and breed lots of celebrities and models.
Suzhou, it is the hometown in my impression.
