Le village ancré dans le passé - 1

Nous décidons de nous arrêter dans un ancien petit village pour tenter d’obtenir des renseignements. Le village semble comme ancré dans une autre époque : vieilles ruelles, vieilles habitations traditionnelles, lanternes rouges accrochées aux façades... Personne de parle anglais, mais nous parvenons à expliquer que nous voulons rejoindre l’autoroute de Shanghaï. Nous montrons aussi le plan de Zhu. Après quelques ajouts au plan auxquels ont participé une dizaine de villageois nous comprenons que nous nous sommes éloignés de notre chemin. Il faut au moins deux heures de mauvaise route pour rejoindre l’autoroute. Comme le village semble agréable nous décidons de partir à la recherche d’un hôtel pour la nuit...

Nous trouvons celui-ci qui, sur la façade d’entrée, montre une ancienne carte du village.

We decide to stop in an old and small village to try to obtain informations. The village seems as anchored in an another time : old alleys, old traditional houses, rear lights hung on facades... Nobody speaks English, but we succeed in explaining that we want to join the highway to Shanghai. We also show the plan Zhu gave us. After some additions on the plan in which participated about ten villagers we understand that we went away from our way. Two hours of bad road are needed at least to join the highway. As the village seems pleasant we decide to stay and begin to search a hotel for next night....

We find this one which, on the entrance facade, shows and old map of the village.

A stunning image. It looks like an illustration from an old mythic Asian story (which is what your journey has been!)
