WuZhen, an ancient yet spectacular town

[zoubin]

Paid a short visit to WuZhen, China this summer. (Close to Shanghai)
A little disappointed during the day because of over crowdedness, but was so impressed by its night view.
Will definetely recommend it to everyone who visits China.

If interested, please check my flickr to check more pictures.
I'll upload more when telus internet becomes more stable in the next a few days.

Looks like you used a slow shutter speed. Looks very nice.

U r right about that.
Most pictures were taken at night, which means low or nearly no natural light, so long exposure is a must.
And I do like taking long exposure scenery photos.
But unfortunately, I didn't bring a tripod and the one I borrowed from my cousin was a piece of plastic which broke before I took any pics.

I hate resizing pics and I hate Telus even more.
Uploading some pics to flickr can take a century.

This is a typical scenery of Wuzhen.
A small river goes throung the town, with boats full of tourist paddling on.
In souther China, stone bridges are really common and most of them are older than U.S or Canada as an independent country.
On the right side, there is a house with a Chinese character "佛“ on the door, which is 'Buddhism'.

The biggest wok ever made at that time。
Diameter 15m, weight 10ton.
Sorry didn't get any good reference to show how giant it is.
