Water villages are known for their water canals and bridges! Managed to capture 2 of the 3 famous bridges of 枫泾 in this photo, while standing on 3rd bridge....Not a nice shot of the bridge though....haas....
And this is the super duper yummy 芡实糕!! 枫泾特产! Freshly made and cut into thin slices. Tastes chewy but also quite powdery....dunnoe how to explain, but its super nice! Taste like one of my favourite snack during chinese new year, tt is like a yellow biscuit, but taste very powdery.
Comes in a total of 7 flavours: 桂花(cinamon) , 花粉, 草莓, 绿豆, 芝麻, 核桃(walnut), 八珍(made from 8 types of herbs). The nicest is the 桂花!! Followed by 花粉!
Todae's highlight was kiwi plucking!! Originally supposed to be strawberry plucking, but the strawberries not ripe yet, still a lil early for the strawberry season. Nvm, kiwis are nice too!
The kiwi field looks veri barren, but don't belittle it. Look closely and you'll see the brown kiwis dangling on the leafless branches.
But but...each person can onli pluck 1 kg of kiwis back!! Which is abt 8 kiwis only.
Other than kiwis, still have many other fruits at this farm, including peach, grapes, and even veges also. Even got people fishing. And look at the black swans they rear. This place gonna develop into a resort / chalet area nxt year.
The countryside is realli nice. Peaceful and calm. People living simple lives. Saw farmers setting their fields on fire, burning the dried leftover from last season's planting. And farmers pouring and spreading out their rice on the roads!! To dry them and perhaps for cars to run over them and open the ungrounded rice?? Hmmm....someone told me tt, dunnoe if the cars realli run over the rice anot...haas
