����The first day: light rain - Arcade - Library

"Rain today, originally slightly regret, but according to the local people said, Wong Kar Wai the first time the king also catch the light rain, captivated the light rain in the town: the vicissitudes of old town feeling ready."

It is like water, becauseBeijingShortage of water, therefore, always feel that where there is water, full of spirituality. The river runs through the whole town, is the town's mother river, clear water and blue on both sides of the river, the arcade is clearly reflected in the water, whether it is walking the walk or take a leaf boat, are quite satisfied.

The beginning of the film, a fight scene IP wonderful. Reportedly, because director Wong Kar Wai came to Chikan for the first time to catch up with the rain, he fell in love with the rain here, so, there is the rain fights.The beginning of the film, a fight scene IP wonderful.

In Chikan visiting West stroll aimlessly, do not deliberately seek what attractions, because of a small town, so everywhere, always go to. Sometimes, a turn, was a surprise. The town is the most characteristic of arcade, I have been to many southern towns, the bridges of the delicate and tender as early as written in water, but the Chikan arcade is distinctive, it is not an independent building, but cross links, at first glance, a bit like Beijing common prefabricated building, but only 3 storeys high, the bottom is high, mainly shops, two floors above is home, estimation is "dual-use commercial and residential buildings, the earliest". A layer of each its are connected to each other growth corridor, therefore, those of us who are walking in the rain, the rain can not only avoid the wind and rain, sunny and sunscreen, very littleGuangzhouThe big house Xiguan flavor. This corridor is very lively, chatting, drinking tea, and put the little friend moving bench homework...... Quiet and peaceful life. Port control will be deja vu: European style arcade, quiet side street, Riverside traders put stall, every kind of the vintage billboard...... Twenty or thirty years of GuangdongHongkongIt was like this, now, Chikan is still like this, it is us through?

Small town has two large-scale library, quite awesome.Small town has two large-scale library, quite awesome.

"When, when, when, in the ancient town of Chikan," Guan ethnic library clock tower and Stuart library clock tower bell will ring out at the same time, over the past 80 years has been so. In fact, if the local people is most proud of, not too small Chikan town there are two libraries -- Stuart library and Guan ethnic library. We according to the advice of the local people, soon found the two libraries. In fact, on the scale, two libraries cannot compared with those who have long enjoyed a good reputation of the library, is the two big families hundreds of years competition witness. We are curious into the Guan family library, the library appearance to Portuguese design, with colorful glass window, very westernized architecture, classical spectacular. Library collection of more than 1.6 volumes, and a collection of a lot of famous works. The library is open free of charge, in Guan ethnic library shelves of books, can be free to read, there are actually many thread-bound book, excited me for a moment. The library to provide free tea, even as we the passer-by, couldn't stay here awhile, appreciate the distinctive south of the Five Ridges book home.
