Although gege dare not take the transparent glass trestle, she is very interested in this aerial view. Even if the height of the Shanghai sea center building is much higher than that of the global financial center building, the ground of the sightseeing hall on the top of the Shanghai sea is opaque, so she is not afraid here.

After all, the sightseeing hall on the top of the Shanghai sea is located on the 118th floor, 546 meters above sea level. At this height, you will step on the whole Shanghai sea.

Ge Ge was very interested in the coin operated telescope in the hall. After watching it for more than an hour, he reluctantly left the telescope. Many tourists come here for sightseeing, including some who like to watch with binoculars. Gege can't occupy a telescope alone, so once someone wants to use a telescope, she will take the initiative to give it to others and wait for others to see it.

After seeing more than half of the Shanghai sea through the telescope, Ge Ge took Yang Jing to buy a lot of postcards, then wrote a lot of people's names and addresses on these postcards, and dropped them one by one into the green mailbox on the side of the sightseeing hall.

This mailbox is currently the highest artificial building mailbox in China and the second highest artificial building mailbox in the world, second only to the post office located at 555 meters above sea level on the 148 floor of halifata.

Of course, the altitude of this mailbox is only 546 meters, which is far from the world's highest post office at 5200 meters above sea level in the Everest base camp, and even much worse than the European highest post office at the top of Jungfrau in Switzerland, but after all, it is a post office in an artificial building. It is actually very commemorative to send postcards in this mailbox.

In particular, Ge Ge sent a postcard to the couple in her own name and Yang Jing's name. After receiving this postcard at home, it will be more commemorative.

After coming down from the Shanghai sea center, the four people drove directly to Wuzhen more than 100 kilometers away after lunch.

Wuzhen is one of the first batch of famous historical and cultural towns in China, one of the top ten charming towns in China, a township with beautiful national environment and a national 5A scenic spot. It is known as "the last water pillow family in China". With more than 7000 years of civilization history and 1300 years of town construction history, Wuzhen is a typical ancient water town in the south of the Yangtze River in China, known as "the land of fish and rice and the house of silk".

Wuzhen was originally named Wudun and Qingdun. Originally, it was divided into Wuqing two towns bounded by Shihe River. Wuzhen was in Hexi and Qingzhen was in Hedong. After liberation, Wuzhen in the west of Shihe River was assigned to Tongxiang County, which was collectively referred to as Wuzhen.

This antique town is a typical Han nationality water town in Jiangnan, which completely preserves the style and pattern of water town in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Building houses along the river, deep houses and courtyards, heavy ridges and high eaves, antique, stone path, ancient wooden houses, and the smell of clear lake water. In gege's words, coming here to play is a kind of emotion and atmosphere.

Yang Jing and Ge Ge Ge have been to Zhouzhuang Town and Tongli town before, but neither of them has been to Wuzhen, so Ge Ge will come to Wuzhen after coming out of Shanghai this time.

And it happens that there are three days left for the fifteenth day of the first month. There is another important custom activity here in Wuzhen on the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month, that is "walking the bridge on the Lantern Festival".

The 15th day of the first month of the lunar calendar is the Lantern Festival, commonly known as "the first half of the first month". Wuzhen people have the custom of walking bridges, that is, they travel together three or five days after night, and they have to walk ten bridges on the way. The route can not be repeated. This custom stems from an old popular disaster avoidance and relief activity with women as the main body, which is called "walking ten bridges" or "eliminating all diseases".

In ancient times, after dressing up, women lined up with a usually decocting pot. When crossing the bridge, they threw the pot into the river. They thought that this could ensure that there would be no disease and disaster in the new year. However, in modern times, you can't throw pots, but the activity of "walking the bridge" has been handed down all the time.

Why didn't Greg take part in such a fun and meaningful activity? Even if there are still three days before the Lantern Festival, after arriving in Wuzhen for a rest, Ge Ge took Yang Jing out of the hotel, took a boat to feel the charm of the ancient town, and began to explore the route of "walking the bridge" at night.

It is rare that the girl is so interested in this custom activity, and Yang Jing is happy to play with her, so the two people are followed by two big foreigners behind their hips. This strange combination shuttles through the streets of Wuzhen.

After dinner in the evening, the four began to "walk the bridge". To be exact, Yang Jing and their three masters accompanied Ge Ge to walk the bridge together. But to their delight, even if it is not the Lantern Festival yet, there are still many big girls and little daughters-in-law dressed up to walk out of the bridge in the evening.

Occasionally, when you meet a lady walking the bridge, whether you know her or not, both sides will say hello politely. If you feel good, you will even stop and say a few words to exchange the route experience of walking the bridge.

Anyway, Greg was very happy this night, and Clark and John who had been following behind his ass also giggled. Although they don't know what they are wandering around here in the dark, they can also feel the good mood of the boss and the boss's wife. In addition, there is almost nothing about them during this period. While they are happy with the boss and the boss's wife, they also secretly feel the good governance and safety of China.

After staying in the hotel for one night, the next morning, four people drove on in two cars. Although it was a return trip, the next destination was not Jinling, but Yixing on the Taihu Lake line.

It is only more than 100 kilometers from Wuzhen to Yixing, and the whole expressway can be reached in more than an hour.

The main reason why Yang Jing went to Yixing was that he wanted to see it. After all, it was the "ceramic capital" of China, and it was also the hometown of a generation of purple clay pot master Gu Jingzhou. Since he came to Wuzhen, he happened to pass by Yixing when he went back. If he didn't stop in Yixing, Yang Jing felt sorry for himself.

Yixing is called the "pottery capital of China". It is said that Fan Li helped the king of Yue Gou Jian to overthrow the king of Chu. After that, he retreated bravely and retired to the West Lake with beauty Xi Shi. This couple of immortals once fired pottery in Yixing, so Yixing is known as the "ceramic capital" by later generations. Now there is another Li River in Yixing. It is said that it is named in memory of Fan Li and Xi Shi boating here.

Yixing is not only the pottery capital of China, but also the birthplace of Chinese purple clay culture. In this small city, a generation of purple clay pot masters such as Chen Mingyuan and Gu Jingzhou were born. Dingshu Town, located in the south of Yixing City, is the real origin of purple sand culture.

The town is not big. Lihe River looks around the town from north to south, and the real birthplace of purple sand culture in the town is Shushan ancient South Street on the East Bank of Lihe River.

Shu mountain in Yixing is not one of the big mountains in Sichuan Province. This mountain is just a hill with an altitude of tens of meters. It is just named "Shu mountain" because Su Dongpo, a great writer of the Northern Song Dynasty, once said that "this mountain is like Shu".

The ancient South Street of Shushan is at the foot of Shushan mountain and close to Lihe River in the West. It can be called close to mountains and rivers.

Dijie, often human spirit!

This changgu street is not only the birthplace of Yixing purple sand, but also the production and sales center of Yixing purple sand from the middle and late Ming Dynasty to the 1960s, but also the cradle of purple sand art masters. A large number of purple clay pot masters, including Chen Mingyuan, Gu Jingzhou, Zhang Hongshou, Gu Shaopei, Wu yungen and Ren Ganting, were born.

In ancient times, it was very prosperous here. There was a mixture of mud and fire on the mountain, and merchants gathered at the foot of the mountain. More than half of the residents were engaged in purple sand production and management. The fired purple sand Ware set out from Lihe wharf and was transported to all parts of the country after entering Taihu Lake... The excitement of Shushan lasted nearly 500 years until after the reform and opening up. With the development of land transportation, the purple sand production center was transferred to Dingshan, Shushan was silent.

Yang Jing and the four of them parked their car outside and walked into Gunan street.

This street is only one kilometer long and only three or four meters wide. It is a small street paved with stones. It is small and can't even be seen on ordinary maps.

On this street full of ancient charm, there are two-story brick and wood buildings on both sides. Purple clay pot shops, teahouses, cloth shops and hardware shops can be seen everywhere. Wooden doors, lattice windows, telephone booths and small advertisements with two-dimensional code... History and reality, ancient and modern blend here.

If Wuzhen seems to be a quiet and virtuous young woman, this ancient South Street is a Xiake who has wandered all over the Jianghu. Although both are very old, they have very different charm.

Ge Ge is also very interested in this ancient street. She has been to Yixing, but she has never been here.

On both sides of the ancient street, there are a large number of former residences of master purple clay pot. You can see the former residence of a master purple clay pot in a few steps. There are also many antique wooden doors, with various small signs hanging on them, which write something that Yang Jing and Ge Ge Ge can't understand.

For example, two people saw an antique wooden sign next to a door, which said "a pot of Jiangnan". Of course, they didn't know what this meant. They thought this house was the former residence of the deceased master of purple clay pot. As a result, as soon as the people nearby inquired, they knew that this was a purple clay pot studio

They also found a wooden sign in front of another old house that looked full of a sense of history, with the words "Shushan father's house". The name was so grand that it should be the former residence of a master. As a result, when they looked carefully, there was a line of small characters next to the four big characters. After reading it, they couldn't help but be happy. Because the house is still a modern purple clay pot studio

Of course, along the way, I saw most of the former residences of the world-famous purple clay pot masters. It goes without saying that the former residences of master Gu Jingzhou. In addition, I also saw a series of former residences of masters such as Zhang Hongshou, Huang Fenglai, Huang Zhiqiang, Xu Xiutang and Ren Ganting.

Although the whole ancient street is not big, it is a place of pilgrimage for purple sand lovers. Here, if you knock on a family, you may have a dialogue with the master.

Since she came here, Yang Jing moved her mind. Although Mr. Gu Jingzhou has only passed away for more than 20 years, the purple clay pot made by his old man is now a national treasure. Just take one out and start with eight figures, which is of great collection value.

Now passing through Baoshan, how can you return empty handed?
