Before the sun was too bright for taking pictures, Chen Xing walked around Zhouzhuang for another two hours. In fact, it is quite good here. If Chen Xing were to choose, he would really like Zhouzhuang more than Wuzhen, but the system's reaction was the same as that of Zhouzhuang.
As expected, Chen Xing didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Sure enough, this long-term mission is not looking at the 100 best ancient towns in reality, but the 100 ancient towns that Chen Xing likes from the bottom of his heart.
After visiting the same style of scenic spots one after another in a short period of time, even those who like Jiangnan will be tired of aesthetics. Therefore, Zhouzhuang is just a good scenic spot for Chen Xing, not as shocking as when he saw Xitang and Chenjiacun before. p>
In this case, it is really a long-term task and cannot be completed in a short time. After leaving Zhouzhuang, the vehicle drove along the road in Zhouzhuang Town and onto the Changjia Expressway.
Chen Xing was not so afraid after getting on the highway. Anyway, he would definitely reach Suzhou before getting carsick. From time to time, he could see lakes outside the window.
Lakes of various styles and sizes are how many northerners imagine the south. It is true that if you take a car from south to north, there will be fewer and fewer such beautiful lakes, and instead you will see a huge number of lakes.
The mighty rivers.
Different geographical environments and cultural environments will bring different personalities to local people. Many modern people sneer at this and feel that it is too outrageous to divide people's personalities based on geography. Shouldn't this be related to family education and school education? Indeed. But how can you imagine talking softly about Wu Nong and singing Pingtan in the Northeast? Even in martial arts, there are formulaic scenes like Beiqiao Feng and Nan Murong.
Heroes are easy to come out in the north, and men of letters are easy to come out in the south. There is no superiority or inferiority, just due to the environment.
On the road, you can also see an entrance to the highway that says Tongli. Chen Xing remembers that Tongli is also an ancient town named after water, and it is a bit like Venice?
As soon as he left Zhouzhuang, Chen Xing didn’t want to go to Tongli again. But if he goes to Venice in the future, he must come back to Suzhou to see how Tongli, the little Venice in the East, is different from the real Venice.
At that time, I should have forgotten many details of Jiangnan Ancient Town, and then I can get a wave of rewards from Jiangnan Ancient Town.
The bus stopped at the bus station in the North Square of Suzhou Railway Station. There are many modern buildings in the square outside the station that imitate the ancient town buildings. It sounds a bit awkward, but you just need to think of it as having black tiles, white walls, and round windows with black edges.
A creative building would be great.
The partial shots of these buildings are still very beautiful. Chen Xing often tells fans that if he wants to improve his skills, he should sweep more streets and take more photos of beautiful women, but sweeping streets in China is sometimes not easy.
Generally speaking, in the domestic environment, everyone is sensitive to their own privacy and image, and do not like to be photographed or made public by strangers.
Even many people who don’t know much about street sweeping still have doubts about the quality and ethics of photographers, and feel that they will use photos to do something detrimental to themselves.
In fact, most of them have been deleted. Because Chen Xing is pretty good-looking, and she has always photographed young girls, they are relatively tolerant towards Chen Xing. At most, they will just walk away with a side face and will not come up to argue with Chen Xing.
What.
But if you shoot too much, you will always encounter some unreasonable people. If you encounter such a situation, you can also improve your skills by shooting more buildings.
From shooting the whole building to gradually discovering some small architectural details, from big to small, from the whole to the parts, this is also a way to improve your photography skills.
He looked at it for a while and then looked for a bus on the navigation system to go to Pingjiang Historic District. This is an old street in the city center with a large population flow.
When Chen Xing got off the car and saw the scene outside, he felt that this old street was a bit like the Kuanzhai Alley in Chengdu, but it was not well built. It was better to say that it was an old street, but worse to say, it actually looked a bit different in many invisible places.
It’s chaotic and there aren’t as many tourists as Kuanzhai Alley.
However, compared to orthodox ancient towns such as Wuzhen and Zhouzhuang, the fireworks here surpass them. The fusion of modern and ancient times can often be seen here, which gives Chen Xing a lot of fun to shoot.
For example, under the carved ebony window, there is an air conditioner outdoor unit protected by wooden boards, with red flowers growing on the wooden boards.
Or the fences by the river, which are also used by local people, with many flower pots placed on them.
It's difficult for cars to drive in, but there is a battery car at the door of every house. Chen Xing thinks this contrast is very interesting.
When he was passing by a store, he saw a new mailbox outside, which had just been painted. Chen Xing could still smell a little bit of the paint.
In what age do we still use mailboxes? Chen Xing rarely sees mailboxes in China. He only sees report boxes and suggestion boxes that are hung up outside some office buildings but may be of no use. Chen Xing has only seen pure mailboxes in Paris, but they are not used there. They are just not dismantled.
Chen Xing looked up at the shop. It was a bamboo weaving shop, and the name on the plaque was glowing, called Bamboo Art Terrace.
The store is divided into two facades with wooden boards in the middle. One is the door, where a young man wearing glasses is playing with his mobile phone. The other side is the window. From the glass, you can see that it is filled with various bamboo artworks.
.
There are small bridges and large and small bamboo boats that can be seen everywhere in Jiangsu. The boats are very beautifully made, and the small ones are awning boats, which can be seen both in the ancient town and on the river outside Pingjiang River. The big ones are 60 centimeters long.
, is a large ancient ship, maybe this is the Jiangnan Painted Boat?
Chen Xing didn't know the boat and didn't know what it was called. But it was absolutely beautiful. There was also a small lamp placed inside the hull, which gave the boat a warm light. The details were so perfect that Chen Xing even felt like putting it in the water.
, it feels like this ship can move.
I'm excited, this figure is beautiful. Chen Xing is not a two-dimensional person, and I don't have any anime character figures at home, but I have no resistance to the scaled-down models of such large objects. I even brought an iron Eiffel Tower with me in Paris.
The model is back.
I want this ship! But transportation is a problem. If I put it on a plane and transport it by air, it won’t break into pieces, right?
He resents the shipping of airlines, whether at home or abroad. Therefore, he takes his camera and lens on the plane every time, leaving only some less important things in his suitcase.
Entering the store, the young man playing with his mobile phone looked up.
"Hello, do you want to buy something?"
"Just take a look."
"Oh..." He was a little disappointed. Usually people who say that don't seem to know how to buy things. Especially someone like Chen Xing who is holding a camera. Maybe he just comes in to take pictures.
There are many photographers entering his shop. If you don’t count them by year, he has seen no less than ten this month.
But this is also a compliment to their family craftsmanship, and to be honest, I feel a little proud. He put down his mobile phone and walked out to look at Chen Xing, and suddenly said: "Your camera is very beautiful, Hasselblad?" Hasselblad didn't look difficult.
Recognizable, the style is obvious.
However, this was the first time Chen Xing heard this from someone other than a photographer, and he subconsciously took his hand back, but soon thought that the ban was about to be lifted?
Then he nodded indifferently and said: "Yes."
"It's really beautiful. When I was in college, I wanted to take out a loan to buy a Hasselblad or Laika. Fortunately, I didn't buy one. I later bought a d610."
"Are you still using it?" Chen Xing asked curiously.
"Yeah, luckily I was wiser at the time and didn't buy a Hasselblad or a credit card. Otherwise, I would have stopped doing anything for a few years in college and just work every day to pay off my debts." Chen Xing said with a smile: "Haha, that's not the case.
"This guy is pretty easy to talk to.
Chen Xing pointed to the mailbox outside and said, "That thing is a mailbox, right?"
"Yes." He nodded and replied.
"It's pretty."
"My grandpa installed it, and he makes most of the things in this store, so I come here every day to help him look after the store. After all, the elderly are getting older, and sitting in the store every day can easily hurt the body." Chen Xing
He nodded and asked about the price of that boat.
The price of "860" is acceptable to Chen Xing, but he is still worried about whether it is strong enough. Don't let it break before he can bring it back to Chengdu.
Money is a trivial matter. He really likes this boat. Seeing that Chen Xing really wanted to buy it, the young man quickly recommended: "Don't think that our bamboo weaving is fragile. Bamboo is tough, you know, right? Not to mention that it is well packaged.
Once it's shipped, there won't be any problems even if it's pressed by hand." He asked Chen Xing to try it out.
Chen Xing pressed it carefully with two fingers and found that the deck sank slightly, but there was also a force of rebound.
Resilient indeed.
"The lights in the cabin are rechargeable. There is a small opening here. Just plug in the type-c charging cable. The quality is very good. The lights will not break down after at least one or two years of use."
"Is it broken?" The young man said with a smile: "It's just an ordinary bamboo weaving. Ordinary bamboo weaving doesn't have this kind of light. I added it to make it look better." At this time, an old man came in at the door.
He snorted and said, "It's pretty but useless."
"Grandpa." The young man shouted politely.
"Hello, old gentleman." Chen Xing shouted. The old gentleman's surname is Wang. He looks like a Taoist priest under an overpass. He has a thin appearance with a white beard, but his eyes are bright and his waist is straight. p>
It is definitely considered healthy among the elderly. He feels that adding things to the bamboo leaves destroys the lightness of the bamboo leaves.
And it’s just bamboo, and it won’t change much in two or three years, but if you put something inside, you don’t know how long it can be stored.
"Little brother, if you want to buy it, just take it for 680 yuan." Boss Xiao Wang frowned. Chen Xing looked like a rich man at first glance, so he still cares about these hundreds of dollars?
He also fixed a 40-yuan LED light inside. If he sells it like this, he will erase all its effects.
But after meeting the owner of the mailbox, Chen Xing became more interested in the mailbox. China's Internet development is very fast in the whole world, how can anyone still use letters to communicate?
