is east-west, 220 meters long, and the pavement is paved with slate. The house is made of brick and wood, the walls are made of bricks, and the roof, doors and windows are made of wood. There is a particular emphasis on the door of the house. First, it is very wide, about 60 cm. One is beautiful, the second is to avoid the rain, and there are stone steps under the armpit, 20 cm above the ground. At the time of construction, the owner considered that there was water in the terrain when it rained, and the water would enter the door to wet the feet, so there was such a construction.
[Ruyi] The
Ruyi residential community, the layout is also east-west. Its architectural style is typical of the old Shikumen Lane building, the details of the doors and windows, the sculptural style, Ruyili is one of the earliest Chinese and Western styles of the Lanes in Hangzhou, and it is the west wind of Hangzhou. Witness, precious.
[King Shengli]
Jingshengli is considered to be the most emotionally-loving residential group in the three courtyards. According to legend, a wealthy businessman named Wu was built during the Republic of China. At that time, he was doing business here and found it here. The people were very poor, and some even could not afford to live in the house. He moved his compassion and built three rows of such houses, which were rented out to the people at very cheap prices.
Don't look at this cheap renting house, but when I built this house, I also had a lot of attention. The second floor was a low-rise loft, a tiger window, and a wooden staircase. There are 5 units on one side of the wall, one wall to open two gates, the door is Shikumen, the door frame is made of solid blue stone, and a solid cyanite is placed under the threshold to make steps, double black wooden doors, facing away.
The four corners of the building are flying rafts, and there are paintings in the middle. The wooden boards have beautiful patterns, which are simple and interesting.

The arched bridge 丨 the southern end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal
The arch bridge was built 370 years ago and was built as the "first bridge in the south of the Yangtze River". For more than a thousand years before this, there was no specific sign warning for the entry of cargo ships into Hangzhou. The appearance of the arch bridge has finally made the southern end of the Grand Canal a geographical indication.
Arch bridge
The arch bridge is connected to Lishui Road and Taizhou Road in the east, and to the bridge street in the west. Even Xiaohe Road is the tallest and longest stone arch bridge in the ancient bridge of Hangzhou. The bridge is 98 meters long and 16 meters high. The middle section of the bridge is slightly narrower at 5.9 meters wide, while the bridges at both ends are 12.2 meters wide. The three-hole thin-decked arched hump bridge has a net span of 11.9 meters, a middle hole of 15.8 meters, and a vaulted stone thickness of 30 centimeters. The wooden pile foundation structure is used, and the arch vouchers are juxtaposed in longitudinal sections. This is a very comprehensive bridge. Standing on the bridge, it feels like history is like a river flowing; it is also the starting point of the southern section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
Xiangji Temple | Thousand Years Ancient Temple with Gods
The only temple in China that is dedicated to the god of food, the old pilgrims devoutly succumb to the "head incense" on the Xiangji Temple. This place is a must for believers to go to Lingyin and Tianzhu to the mountains, and has a high status in the canal and the Buddhist community in Hangzhou.

The old name of Xiangji Temple is Xingfu Temple, and later named by Song Zhenzong, “Xiangji Temple”. It used to be a famous temple in the Hushu area of the Grand Canal. It was the busy ship on the Grand Canal. It was the first temple to enter Hangzhou through the canal and the last temple to leave Hangzhou. It is also a Buddhist believer from Hangjia Lake to Lingyin and Tianzhu. She must go to the mountains to enter the incense, so she has a high status in the canal and the Buddhist community in Hangzhou. Xiangji Temple was destroyed in the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and rebuilt in 2009. The original east and west towers are now only the West Tower. The stone is eight-sided and nine-story imitation wood-like pavilions. The tower body is collected layer by layer. Except for the second-level railings with bluestone, the rest are constructed by lake and stone. In the style of the Mi, each layer is composed of a flat seat, a tower body and a tower tower. The tower ends with a tower brake, and the brake top is made of a treasure gourd, a Buddha statue or a scripture. His armpits are five-step double-turned, and the corners are seven-step three-turn. The tower is carved in the center of each side, and the sides are embossed. The temple looked small outside, but after entering it, it was not small. There were many laymen who were chanting and there were free incense for everyone to enter. It is worth mentioning that his family's plain noodles are considered to be more famous in Hangzhou. When one end comes up, the aroma is tangy, and a chopsticks will eat a fine light.

It is known as the “first warehouse in the world” and is the second warehouse of the country in Zhejiang. Why is it the first warehouse, mainly because of its geography? The superiority of the location, the usage rate is very high, and many bulk goods have to be stored here. It has now been converted into a hotel.
