I don’t want to jinx myself, but I’m pretty sure this is my prize photo for this entire trip. ;x
This is Wuzhen, which is this old “canal town” that’s existed for the last 1200 years or some such. The photo above was taken in the west portion, which was actually almost completely redone and retrofitted for tourism purposes. The buildings consist of some restaurants and shops, but mostly guest houses for overnighting.
We went to the east side, which actually still has residents living there still and is way more … well, run down. I’ll admit to enjoying the west side more, despite its non-authenticity. It’s absolutely enchanting at night.
Way more photos where this came from… I really went to town this time. But the internet is kind of slow here, so I’m probably going to wait until later to upload the rest. Just wanted to get this one out immediately. ^_^;
