黄静怡The residences in Xitang are built alongside the water."Families live in the midst of waters, bridges arch over the rivers,passengers walk across the bridges, boats pass under the bridges;shops stand at the head of bridges, and their reflections sway in the water," is how people de- scribed the village. Anewcomer strolling through the town is soon plunged into a real- life intoxicating landscape painting. Xitang is situated on the shores of Taihu Lake, with the Great Canal passing by it.There are nine winding rivers intersecting the town into eight blocks. Each house is located facing a river,as are the shops.Xitang peo- ple row small boats along the rivers to their destinations, instead of walk- ing on foot through streets and lanes. Weeping willows and colorful flowers grow along the riverbanks,and flocks of water birds and white geese play on the water dotted with plants of floatingheart.Several hundred an- cient bridges of different shapes and sizes arch over the rivers like cres- cent moons. Famous bridges include the Wufu, Wolong,Huanxiu,and Songzilaifeng bridges. Walking on the bridges is like walking along streets of the heavens.

黄静怡The names of Chinese dishes are diverse, but behind each of the fa-mous dishes is an interesting story explaining why it is popular. A catchy name may add value to the dish.However, some names are so ec-centric that they may confuse people , both Chinese and foreigners. If youexplain the names in a literal way, you may make a fool of yourself. Take Goubuli steamed buns in the city of Tianjin for example. These popular buns are all handmade and of the same size. When served in neat rows in the tray,they look like budding chrysanthemum flowers. The wrapping is thin,the fillings are juicy, and the taste is tender and de- licious yet at all not greasy. Thenwhy the name?

黄静怡Windows are very important in this aspect. In Chinese horticulture, win-dows are always designed in the shape of a fan and referred to as "convenience windows." Through the windows, visitors can view the pic-turesque bamboo groves and moun-tains outside. Joyous Longevity Hall in the Summer Palace in Beijing, has windows on all its four walls, with its surrounding walls facing Kunming Lake. Each window view becomes the equivalent of a vivid painting. in fact, garden designers bestow these windows with anothername -"ab-sorbent windows, " through which the sights of different places interact thus setting the landscape of the garden in motion. More interestingly through the windows, visitors may see different views at different an-gles, and thus the composition of the garden becomes infinitely enlarged.

田丰毓The residences in Xitang are built alongside the water."Families live in the midst of waters, bridges arch over the rivers,passengers walk across the bridges, boats pass under the bridges;shops stand at the head of bridges, and their reflections sway in the water," is how people de- scribed the village. Anewcomer strolling through the town is soon plunged into a real-life intoxicating landscape painting. Xitang is situated on the shores of Taihu Lake, with the Great Canal passing by it.There are nine winding rivers intersecting the town into eight blocks. Each house is located facing a river,as are the shops.Xitang peo- ple row small boats along the rivers to their destinations, instead of walk- ing on foot through streets and lanes. Weeping willows and colorful flowers grow along the riverbanks,and flocks of water birds and white geese play on the water dotted with plants of floatingheart.Several hundred an- cient bridges of different shapes and sizes arch over the rivers like cres- cent moons. Famous bridges include the Wufu, Wolong,Huanxiu,and Songzilaifeng bridges. Walking on the bridges is like walking along streets of the heavens.
