Suzhou's boat

Whether you have been to Suzhou or not, you must have heard of the waterways and the patchwork of Soviet-style buildings there. Sitting on the wupeng boat, there is always an unspeakable interest.

I like wupengchuan. It is a unique means of transportation in Shaoxing, a water town. But in Suzhou, this kind of ship is also unique. Wu Peng's boat is four or five meters long and has a narrow hull. The bottom of the ship is covered with thick boards, so even if there is a little leakage, the cabin will not get wet. There are also some straw mats on the board, so you can lie down at will or sit comfortably. But I just can't stand it. Because the awning is too low, and it is easy to overturn because it is out of balance. There is a black awning on the awning boat, so it doesn't need to be sunned in summer.

Compared with the current speedboat, Wu Peng's boat seems to slow down my pace. When you board Wu Peng's boat, you don't have to worry about missing any scenery. We got on the awning boat. Summer is very hot, very hot. We quickly hid under the awning and drank herbal tea. Wu Peng's boat sailed slowly forward and passed many stone bridges. On both sides of the river bank, ancient Soviet-style buildings stand. Others set up stalls by the river, and many tourists and stall owners can bargain everywhere. Ships coming and going greeted us, and we responded casually, full of interest.

The boatman is very enthusiastic. They are usually locals, so they know this place very well. As long as you talk to the boatman casually, he can nag you for a long time. The boatman's mouth cannot be idle. If you don't talk to him, he can talk to someone else. If not, he can say hello to the boatman and have a chat. People are used to it. Some people can talk with the boatman without stopping. After getting off the boat, they will continue to talk to the boatman and will not stop until the boat leaves.

Most people who come here are tourists. They like Wu Peng boat, but there are also many locals who like to take Wu Peng boat. Except for some tourists who sit and enjoy sightseeing, almost all take it to the park for a walk or come back for dinner.

In the evening, tourists will leave. Wupeng boats will send them away in waves. The crowded covered boat soon dispersed. After sending them away, put the boat aside The sun slowly leaves and the moon slowly rises again. At this time, there is no noise of people, only those Soviet-style old buildings and those stone bridges are left. When people go home, they are used to turning on the lights. There are some faint lights flashing by the canal. It's late at night and the light is dim. It's time for people to sleep. Similarly, the city has fallen asleep.
