Strolling along the River

The entire length of the East Street is only a mile long. One can visit the featured spots behind the water front houses and make a U-turn on the side walk right along the river. The rivers along the east, west, north and south streets are tributory rivers to the Grand Canal that connects Beijing and Hangzhou.

Map of the East Street	You are here!	Entrance to Wuzhen	The Drum Tower
Rickshaws are the way to go about the village	This Budhist temple is right out side the East Street	Entrance to the East Street	A ferry ride
The local residents get water by walking through this passage to the river	Looking at the passage from the other side of the river	The boat is built to barely have enough clearance to go under the bridge	Row, row, row your boat.
Ferry boats lined up for tourists		It's not even 9am yet, tourists already pour in	Time for lunch?
It is not evening yet, but the lanterns are lit up	Simple, clean breakfast	Bamboo steaming racks	Baskets dangling from the ceiling
The traditional blue color cotton shoes	Good luck charms in traditional style and colors	The famous local liquor packaged in different shapes and materials	The traditional shoes as good luck charms
Batik style wall hangings for sale	Calligraphy brushes	Shoes made of hay - would calloused soles walk into these?	Windows with a nice view
Pig head, ham and garlics
			Door frames of different shapes
Another well-known movie set	A garden padio	The bridge has two walk ways, one leads to wealth, another leads to power - which one would you choose
		The bridge rails are only knee-high	View from the balcony of my hosting family
The living room: Mao's picture is hanging at a prominent place	For 80 Yuan, I have a TV and a queen-size bed	Morning has broken - a rainy day
