Old Town



Last summer, I went to a small old village called "Wu town" in China with my friends. It is very famous because it is one of the best honeymoon place in China and thousands of lovers come here during holidays especially in valentine's day. I have been this beautiful town twice and it is really a good place to take a relax and experience romantic. Thinking about you go with your love, enjoy this sight of town on a small boat in such a dreamlike night. It is also tranquil and makes people comfortable. Far away from urban noisy and factories and just enjoy fresh air, comfortable living environment and romantic surrounds.


The picture to the left is a nice night scene of this old town. It is so beautiful with a lot of coloured lantern around. The bright bridge is the middle of the picture is famous and there is a romantic tradition that lovers (tourist) are always suggested by local people to make a vow on the bridge at midnight in order to have a good future. A peaceful river between two streets attract me so much and it is just like a dream. All elements in this picture are totally natural without any modern urban structure and rhythm.


After we are tired with the noisy and fast living rhythm in cities, we are in favor of going back to comfortable and quiet suburb. With the development of modern society, cities become noisy and crowded. It is hard to find a quiet place to have a rest even at midnight. Compared to cities, rural has its special attraction and its tranquil, comfortable, romantic and fresh living environments should be human's original persue but it is always ignored by a lot people. It it good that gradually some people realise that natural environment are very improtant to their lives and suburb always bring people relaxed and romantic life.
