'Finally you came out of burrowing.' ( sounds I'm like a rat.)
'because, I'm short of stock.' ( of vital energy from the nature!)
It happened to be sunday, and sunny day. No wonder the lake side was even more crowded than days before. Families, friends and tourists, and moreover, wedding. Thinking to ourselves, these newly-weds were really blessed, with good weather.
On the north of the lake, there are many old villas which had been private houses belonging to rich silk merchants and government vips. Of course, with great lake view. And many of them, after all social chaos, have became run-down, but several ones have been turned into hostels, hotels and restaurants, and are being managed pretty well. Among the clusters of them, one is newly repaired and opened to public. It used to be a buddhist temple, Amber Temple; but after the project, only the front and courtyard remained as tranquil as for a temple, with most major buildings used for exhibitions.
The on-going one: Taiwan minority and grandfather of Lian Zhan, formal party president of Taiwan. From the info, actually hardly are the exhibits related to the building complex but it's okay, not only to learn some new 'humane cultures' information but also, to sit and relax at a very peaceful place to escape from the hustle outsides.
We continued westward. Soon we observed in the distance some big white ducks swimming in the lake. Ducks, geese? And we walked a little closer, we concluded they were white swans.So the lake is a 'swan lake' now? (A new word from my friends, in Japanese, a swan is called 'white bird'白鸟 pronounced HA-KU-TCHI-O )
We couldn't bear the crowd or just the sight of them. We sneaked again off the main road and into a park, which is famous for cherry blossoms in April and lotus in July. Even though it's now too early for flowers, the tall sycamore trees, greening willow, and sprouting hibiscus still create a green world to wander around.
Out of the park, one friend suggested going to the nearby tea plantation for some more walk, while the other said firmly no, concerning few buses and taxi possibly available after we finish and there must be very busy there too with so many of locals driving there. Both were firmly determined, and me, the easiest going, had to follow the woman gods' will of course on today and respective of their both opinions, I waved goodbye to them and headed home.
A nice day, a nice walk, and a nice and democratic opinion-sharing godly festival. ( no wonder in the west, women don't crave for woman's day earnestly.)
