the city gate
it feels more like
entering the city
when you see vendors along
similar to those series on TV
basically like a defend line
surrounding the city
a small Matzu temple
once you enter the city
it’s not exactly breathtaking
yet a small city that
you wouldn’t forget for years to come
the bridge
what’s so unique about the bridge is
the middle are
you know how London Bridge is
the middle is actually openable
Guangji Bridge applies a similar concept
only that it was first built
way earlier back in 1171
the middle section actually consists of
small boats which are removable at night
and on both sides
there are pavillions
you know what
we actually didn’t enter
and just hanging around
looking at the bridge from far
probably because of the long tiring day
probably deterred by the 50 RMB ticket
probably it is nearing the closing hour
yet.. I feel a little dumb
now that I look back
should have walk through the entrance
even if it is 15 minutes before closing
am i right
