travel starts with photography

Chapter 252 Xitang
Chen Xing got out of the plane with a relaxed mood.

But immediately he was as dumbfounded as everyone else who stepped out of the plane.

"So hot!"

The people are still the same people, the airport is still the same airport, Chen Xing has changed flights in Shanghai before, and he got off the plane in Pudong, but the temperature is not right, shouldn’t Shanghai be very livable?

I took out my phone and looked at the temperature in Pudong area of ​​Shanghai today at 41
OK!

I didn’t go back to my country and feel that Paris is hot. This year’s Paris has been the hottest summer in decades. People in the urban area themselves don’t like to install air conditioners. As a result, the parks are crowded with people who come to cool off this summer.

My mother also said that Sichuan Province is very hot now, and the outdoor temperature is higher than last year.

This is quite normal, because Sichuan Province is very hot every summer, and the basin is not easy to blow the monsoon, so it is strange that it is not hot.

But Chen Xing was not worried about them either, both at home and in the shop had air conditioners.As far as my mother's personality is more enjoyable than myself, she won't suffer at home. I guess she is eating watermelon while blowing on the air conditioner.

But unexpectedly, Shang Hai was about to die in the sun.

Fortunately, he came back this time with a light pack. If he still brought a lot of things, Chen Xing really didn't know if he still had the desire to travel.

Taking off the windbreaker and holding it in his hand, he hurriedly hailed a taxi after walking out of the airport.

The air conditioner was also turned on in the taxi, and it was as comfortable as eating iced Coke after sitting in. Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master, go to South Railway Station."

"Okay, handsome guy."

He saw that Chen Xing was wiping his sweat as soon as he came in, and asked, "The weather is a bit hot recently, is the air conditioner warm enough?"

"Enough, I just didn't get used to it all at once, the weather is hotter than my hometown."

The driver is still very talkative, and the tone of his speech is also very comfortable to listen to. The two chatted about the recent weather. Only then did Chen Xing realize that this year's domestic weather is exceptionally abnormal. The whole south has experienced high-temperature weather that has not been seen in decades. .

What kind of extreme weather, warm and high pressure on the plateau, Chen Xing was stunned by various terms.

Lived up to Chen Xing's impression of them as a group, the taxi drivers were really good at talking, no matter if they were from Yanjing or Shanghai.

The knights in ancient times liked to go to taverns to inquire about news, but in modern times, if they ask taxi drivers, they must be right.

Chen Xing quickly boarded the train.

For the most beautiful ancient town, maybe everyone has their own opinion.

Some are because a certain ancient town is his hometown, and some are because when he was traveling in this place, he encountered something that made him remember his whole life, people, etc. Aiwu and Wu liked a place.

It's normal to fall in love with a person or a city.

But if you magnify this most beautiful to one hundred, then there are many places to choose from.

Chen Xing collected all the most famous ancient towns in the Jiangnan area. He won't be going home recently, so he will go to the ancient towns he wrote down.

On the high-speed rail, Chen Xing made a preview with the video of his mobile phone.

"Hi everyone, I'm Chen Xing, I haven't updated for a long time, but I said before that I'm going to study in France, right? After the holiday, I went to Africa with my teacher, and I just came back these days."

"Open a new program pit, tentatively named 'Looking for the most beautiful ancient town in China', the most beautiful is plural, because I will keep looking for it, so if you don't go to your hometown, don't worry, maybe you will wait longer Have I been here for a while?"

"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 first like and coin, and then leave a message about the name of the ancient town in the comment area. I also look forward to meeting you unexpectedly. ..."

The couple sitting across from each other heard what Chen Xing said, and sneakily took out their mobile phones to confirm, and waited until Chen Xing finished recording the video and was about to post it, then they held up their mobile phones and asked, "Hi, is this you?"

On her mobile phone is the video Chen Xing sent before, which was recorded in Xijiang, the episode where he talked about his travel experience.

This episode has almost 300 million views.

It is currently his most popular episode.

"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, some even went to see his works, photography fans, and gave him a lot of snacks, and now there are lollipops in the bag.

"Thank you for your support, I didn't mess with my account too much."

Her boyfriend also said: "The videos you shoot are better than those of other traveling grandmas. We went to Xi'an some time ago and went to the restaurant you visited. Do you make this kind of video?"

"Yes, I will take pictures of many small shops in Paris."

"Paris is too far away, and we don't know any foreign languages, but we are planning to save money and go to Thailand, probably next year."

They also talk about travel in a clear way. They have been to many cities in China, but basically they are short-term trips, and they will go to play for a few days when they are free.

"Where do you come from?"

"We are all from Jiaxing."

"I happen to be going to your place." Chen Xing said, "Xitang, are you familiar with it?"

Xitang Ancient Town is the first place Chen Xing wants to go to. It is relatively close to Shanghai, and it won't take long to drive there.

"You shoot the ancient town, to Xitang?"

"Yes, I guess I'll be living there tonight."

The boy originally wanted to chime in, but the girl was straightforward and said, "There's nothing to do in Xitang. It's most famous for its Langpeng, but Wuzhen also has it. I suggest you go directly to Wuzhen."

"Ah?" Chen Xing was a little surprised.

Her boyfriend quickly said: "We are from Jiaxing, and we are very familiar with Xitang. We have seen the scenic spots near our home countless times, so we don't think there is anything unusual."

The girl nodded and continued:
"Yes, although the whole country says that our ancient towns are beautiful, but I heard from my grandma that many beautiful ancient towns were destroyed during the Anti-Japanese War, and they were all newly built."

Under the influence of Chen Xing's friendly temperament, she chatted happily.

After all, Internet celebrities, celebrities, etc., can't be seen anywhere. Not only did she see one in the car on the way home today, she didn't even have any airs, and it was very comfortable to chat with.

If you don't talk to Chen Xing more at this time, it may be difficult to meet again in the future.

Maybe Chen Xing will put their chat today into the video, and then millions of people will see it. The girl is very excited when she thinks of this, and she will give Chen Xing all of Jiangnan's wealth Shake it out.

"So you recommend Wuzhen?"

"Well, Wuzhen is not bad. There is also Qiantong. This is an ancient village that emphasizes culture and education. Although it is not very famous, everyone around us knows this place. There is also Zhujiajiao, commonly known as the first town of Shanghai Township."

Chen Xing memorized it all. These are all recommendations from locals, which are more meaningful than what he saw online.

"Any more?"

"There is also Tongli, Venice is commonly known as Xiaotongli, haha, Zhujiajiao is also good, the first town in Shanghai Township..."

Due to the proximity, the car also arrives very quickly.

Chen Xing bid farewell to the couple, and took the No. 702 bus according to the route they introduced.

It was already afternoon, and Chen Xing only had one plane meal today, so he was a little hungry, but he didn't want to eat anything in Jiaxing, but saved his stomach for Xitang.

He has to make a video.

Although the girls I met on the high-speed rail did not think highly of Xitang, Chen Xing felt that this was mostly due to the natural contempt of local people for local attractions.

Just like Chen Xing's hometown, there are some scenic spots there, and the locals don't go there for free, and they even opened a hot spring hotel that costs about 500 yuan for a night stay.

But people in Rongcheng like to come and 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 away... This camera mainly records the third-person view, and the first-person view has the recording function built into the system. camera.

Chen Xing thought that as soon as the car stopped, he could see people with small bridges and flowing water as soon as he got out of the car.

But when the car stopped, what Chen Xing saw was a gate of a scenic spot.

Well, nothing should be expected of 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 thinks that the ancient buildings should be protected, so he can buy what he wants.

The gate of the scenic spot made Chen Xing calm down a little, but when Chen Xing walked in and saw the river in the scenic spot and the sheds built on the side of the river, Chen Xing was instantly shocked silently.

"Wow……"

The ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River don't need to be well photographed, just any photo can be regarded as a Chinese trap.

The water in the river channel is quiet and flowing slowly. The sun shines on these ripples, making the water surface appear the color of fish scales. There are old people wearing coir raincoats punting on the water channel, and some people are walking slowly in the sheds beside the river channel.

Chen Xing checked the information before and knew what the gallery was.

In simple terms, this is a covered street built along the river, along the river on one side and shops on the other.

This kind of building is most common in the south of the Yangtze River where the water network is dense. People use the river as the road and use bamboo boats to travel. Many transactions will be held on the boat. Therefore, this kind of shed that communicates with the river and shops can not only go shopping but also shelter from the wind and rain. Architecture came into being.

It's easy to say, but coming here to see it in person is another mood.

Chen Xing didn't even care about the videos he was still shooting, so he hurried to the shed.

When I entered the scenic area, I felt that the temperature had dropped a bit. Now that I am at the riverside, the temperature has reached a suitable level in an instant... It's just that there are too many people and it's a bit stuffy.

But much better than before.

When you come to this special street, you can see the river on the left, listening to the sound of the rushing water when the boatman is rowing, the sound of tourists taking pictures and talking in the shed, and the small shops with lights on the right.

Of course, the things sold are similar.

People who travel frequently can probably see these souvenir shops in scenic spots all over the country. There is not much difference between the shops here and the ones Chen Xing visited before.

However, walking here can indeed make people feel more peaceful.

Moving forward, Chen Xing heard the sound of opera.

Shaoxing opera?

No, it's a song!
"Blue bricks with tile paint, white horses on new mud. Mountain flowers and banana leaves are dyed with red scarves at dusk..."

The voice is slow, but it is sung in the way of opera after re-arranging.

The voice was very pleasant, and Chen Xing hurriedly chased after the voice. The place where the voice came from was still inside the shed, and a dozen tourists surrounded the door.There are not many of them, but the shed itself is very narrow, and a dozen or so people have surrounded the entrance of the small shop tightly.

The roads are blocked.

Someone even stepped on the chair on the left side of the shed to look inside.

Chen Xing's height is not bad in China. Although the height of young people is becoming more and more outrageous, Chen Xing can still maintain his height advantage, and he can see what it looks like inside the store by taking a short look.

The storefront is not big, and the shops in the corridor are like this. The area is only the same as the commercial kiosks built in general scenic spots, even if it is a little bigger, it is not too much.

The door was blocked by a table, and inside was a short-haired woman in a modern dress who sang the song.

After looking at her for a long time, Chen Xing finally saw the products displayed in this store.

It's actually a tape?
It's not CDs. CDs are very useful now. Chen Xing knows that many units like to use CDs to save data. Although Chen Xing doesn't know what they think, in Chen Xing's opinion, it is also very convenient to use a USB flash drive.

But the tape, I haven't seen it for a long time.

Chen Xing could still see the youthful Jay Chou on the tape.

Immediately I have the desire to buy it, even if I take it back for collection, it’s fine. When Jay Chou became famous before, Chen Xing had no money to support him, and all he listened to was pirated copies. In this way, Chen Xing owed Jay Chou a lot of money for his albums.

"Raindrops are sprinkled on the eaves, and smoke is curling up from the kitchen. Where are you as if you are wandering around..."

After singing a song, the girl smiled at the audience, and then spoke to the mobile phone.

It turned out to be live.

A tourist asked: "Is it still profitable to open this kind of store now?"

The girl who was sitting in the store live broadcasting said: "It's just a hobby, I'm just playing, do you want to buy a tape, uncle?"

"I don't buy it, I don'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 girl, do you still sing?"

"I don't sing until I buy a tape."

Another young man asked, "How much is your tape?"

"It depends on the situation, the cheapest one is a hundred, and the expensive one is a few thousand."

The audience immediately turned their faces and dispersed... Finally, the road was cleared.

Chen Xing stretched his neck and sat on the bench by the river on the left side of the shed with his camera in his arms. There are such wooden benches at intervals in the shed, and they are good for resting.

He didn't look inside the store, but sat with his back to them, ready to take a picture of the scenery on the river.

Chen Xing walked for so long and ran around chasing the sound. He didn't know where he was. The opposite seemed to be an inn?
Yes, it is the inn.

The 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 black pillars, and two red lanterns hanging on it.

A signboard was hung on the railing to prevent people inside from falling into the water.

Lotus Garden Inn.

There are two old-fashioned rattan chairs on the balcony.

Chen Xing hasn't seen this kind of chair for a long time. I remember that there were rattan chairs in my house before. Although it is different from this style, it is really comfortable to sit on.

This room seems to be occupied by people. A father and a seven or eight-year-old girl are standing on the bluestone stairs. The little girl is squatting and feeding the fish with something in her hand.

As soon as the interest came up, he smiled and played with the water, making splashes of water with his right hand.

Chen Xing quickly pressed the shutter button a dozen times to capture the joyful look of the child stirring the water in the river.

Daiwa white walls and long bridges, the warm sun reflects the flow of words.

Who doesn't remember Jiangnan?
