When the old town street was formed, no one may remember it now. Grandpa said that there are several stores, which have existed since he was a child.
The old street is built by the river, and most of the banks are pubs, restaurants and tea shops near the river. The streets more than 3 meters wide are all paved with bluestone. Most of the sidewalks are covered with elms, and here, it naturally becomes a place for pedestrians to shelter from the wind and rain.
As long as I can remember, my grandfather always takes me shopping every three days, or buys me some clay figurines and toys, or eats a bowl of wonton in a restaurant. Therefore, the old street is my favorite place since childhood. www.t262.com
I grew up gradually, and my feelings for the old street deepened with the years. If I have a rest day, I always like to go for a walk in the old street alone.
The old street in the morning is really lively. Those people from neighboring villages make the already narrow streets more crowded. At this time, even a river in front of the old street became a "street". Ships, large and small, shuttle back and forth like traffic. Hard-working people in the water town set up stalls by the river, lined up along the coast, and peddled with sweet local accent, with fresh fish and live shrimp just caught, or their own vegetables and fruits. These native products from farmers, with dew, water, the fragrance of earth and the fragrance of river grass, are pleasing to the eye. At this time, you will surely appreciate the unique warmth of the water town by strolling the streets and amid the noisy hawking. No wonder some people say that "the ancient town is the river in the street, the street in the river." (Pupils' Composition Network)
In the afternoon, the market broke up, and the busy street was a little quiet. At this time, the old street has become a veranda for foreigners. They are either carrying cameras or editing pictures, turning around to find creative inspiration. Even if you have nothing to do, you can go there for a walk, watch the rain, or enjoy the sunset. It's quite interesting.
At night, the old street has become a place where people collect information. Everyone is in groups of three or five, sitting in teahouses or on the railings of stone bridges, all of which are quite energetic. At this time, the old street will not calm down until late at night.
The old street is a scenic spot in the ancient town. How many wonderful memories it left for people!
