In the ancient town of Xiwu in Fenghua, you can find many poetic scenes: the mist veiling the river, stone arches overlooking the river, and a network of ancient alleys connecting beautiful buildings standing amidst the drizzling charm of southern China.
在奉化西坞古镇,这里有雾满拦江,有石拱临河,还有阡陌相连的古弄和伫立在江南烟雨下的美好建筑。
This town, cradled by gentle waterways, fulfils most people's imaginations of a Jiangnan, or southern Yangtze River, water village.
这个被水系温柔环抱的古镇,满足了人们对江南水乡的大部分想象。
To promote rural tourism with local features and create a water village service system fitting local conditions, the Xiwu area embarked on a "micro-renovation and refinement" project for the granary building in town.
Moreover, the authorities will take this opportunity to further integrate its existing tourism resources during the preservation and upgrade project of the Xiwu Granary.
不仅如此,以西坞粮仓的改造为基础,西坞街道对辖区现有旅游资源进一步整合。
A 28-million yuan investment was made to create a comprehensive tourist destination, including a visitor service area, an open-air scenic park, a photography exhibition area, and an urban cultural book café on the site of the Granary, and some of them sit in the old warehouses.
