After lunch, we went to Jiang Wan (江灣). Some of us are pretty tired at this point and chose to take a nap in the car. The rest of us took the free shuttle and went inside the village. The village has gone through a large scale renovation and it looks too modern for what it is.
 |
| Everything has been renovated here - nice but the place also loss its glamour. |
 |
| Please take advantage of the free shuttle |
 |
| You will need at least 2 hours if you want to see everything |
 |
| It's Premier Wen's ancestral home - the tourism of this area was spiked because of him too |
 |
| They have staged shows as well. |
 |
| The Ancestral Temple - newly built with amazing craftsmanship |
 |
| A little too modern and commercialized |
 |
| This village seems to be well-known for its educators and has produced many high ranking government officials. |
 |
| In ancient days, girls are not allow to go to school Rich families will hire teachers to home school their girls though. |
 |
| hehehe~ |
 |
| Do you know where and how your last name originated? |
 |
| a very high-ranking official from the Ming (?) Dynasty retired here |
 |
| We stumbled across a traditional wedding ceremony show! |
 |
| Not sure why you would want to drink the "wedding wine" with an actor |
 |
| The people went crazy for the candies, which I have no clue why. It's definitely cheap candies that I won't eat. |
To be honest, I wasn't impressed by Jiang Wan. It was too big for what I consider a village and it was too modern. There were also too many tourist. I think my friends make the right choice to take a nap at Jiang Wan.
