2005 : Zhou Zhuang is a typical Floating City with Canals and Bridges 周庄的水道与桥梁何其多

 

2005 ： "600th Anniversary of the first Voyage of Zheng He" Philatelic Exhibition, Taicang, China

Official Tour : Zhou Zhuang 

Zhou Zhuang is surrounded by water canals, there are many stone bridges which act as pedestrian crossings between 2 canal banks. We walked through the whole of the town of Zhou Zhuang, it was really hot and dry on a summer day.  

I seldom tuck out my shirt wherever I go, BUT, for the whole trip to Zhou Zhuang, I had to tuck out my shirt, Do you know why ? Just to whisper to you, I had some problem with the zip on my pants.

2005: "郑和下西洋600年纪念”邮展，中国太仓

主办当局安排旅游项目/地点 ：周庄

周庄是一个被水道环绕着的小镇，到处可见水道和小桥。环绕周庄走了一圈，正是大夏天，天气好热。

我出门在外走动从来都不把我的上衣外露 ，这一次周庄之旅，是出于无奈。这是为什么？告诉你吧。。 我裤头的拉链坏了 。。

2005 Taicang Exhibition - Official Visit to Zhou Zhuang - Floating City of China 2005年太仓邮展，周庄水乡一游

An official tour organised for the 2005 Taicang "600th Anniversary of 1st voyage of Zheng He" Philatelic Exhibition delegates was a visit to the floating city of Zhou Zhuang. The town of which is surrounded with numerous canals, passages are by boats or bridges. Glad to find this Chinese Calligraphy writing framed and hung in one corner of the Zhou Zhuang which was written by the renown American  Architect L.M. Pei who visited the place on 6.9.1999. Architect l.M.Pei described Zhou Zhuang as a National Treasure.

2005年参与中国太仓“郑和首航600周年纪念邮展”，主办当局安排到水乡周庄一游。周庄四周环绕着的是水道，唯一交通是船和架空的桥梁。以上是一幅由世界顶尖美籍华裔建筑师贝聿铭所题的字吸引了我的注意力，它就挂在周庄的一个角落，字并不抢眼，贝聿铭其名确比其字来得响亮。贝先生把周庄形容为国宝。
