Chapter 403

It can be hung directly on the wall, placed on the sand to make decorative cloth, or inlaid in a picture frame to hang it on the wall. An embroidery work of about 1 meter is only about 15 oo yuan, and it can also be bargained. After all, it is a pure handicraft work, and perhaps a unique work.

The next day, I came to Wuben Bridge, spanning East Taman Lake, 1200 meters long and the longest teak bridge in the world. The bridge body is all made of precious teak produced in Myanmar. There is no iron nail at the junction of the entire bridge, and it is entirely reliant on the dove mortise. After 150 years of baptism, it has been immortal.

Many travel magazines or major tourism portals see descriptions about Myanmar. Most of them prefer to use the sunset of Wuben Bridge as the cover image for publicity, which seems to have become a national business card. Most travelers to Myanmar seem to go to the sunset of Wuben Bridge.

However, after I came to the scene, Johnson Chan wanted to say that the sunrise and sunset of Wuben Bridge were equally magnificent, and there was also the smell of life on and under the bridge.

The long wooden bridge casts a long series of reflections in the river. The rising sun indicates that the busy day has begun again. The golden light shines on the people coming and going on the bridge. The fishing boats sail into the lake and the fishermen begin salvage for a day.

A dead tree on the lake surface is dotted with. The dead branches stretching freely point to the sky, which is quite stylish and becomes an indispensable part of the composition. From 7 to 9 in the morning, it may be the best time to catch fishing, and the fishermen parked the fishing boat in the lake and were busy.

After that, the boatman returned to the lake shore to escape the summer heat.

The wooden bridge is still an important part of the lives of the locals. Every day, there are people coming and going on the bridge, students going to school across the bridge, businessmen coming and going, monks attending Buddhist colleges nearby, and fishing people who have nothing to do... All of this gives Wubenqiao a fresh atmosphere.

The grandmother who was given alms would also give alms to the birds, and she would put some food on the bridge every once in a while. It seemed that it was a long time ago. The birds flew to eat, but they didn't seem to be afraid of the people coming and going.

If you are not satisfied with the shore, you will charter a boat and launch the water. The boatman will take you to see traditional crafts such as textiles, ironwork, silver jewelry, cigars, wood carvings, shipbuilding, etc., and it is almost everywhere in home-style workshops. At first, I thought it was commercialized, but later I thought about it. In fact, this is just a kind of living for local people. Moreover, the tourism industry is naturally inevitable to be commercialized. Fortunately, there is no forced buying and selling in the local area, so you can watch and take photos as much as you like. If you don’t like, please take more new things.

Locals think that rowing with their feet is fast, and that a person can free up his hands to cast nets to catch fish when working on the boat. What’s amazing is that there are road signs on the water like 6, but boatmen can always tell the direction.

The houses were built in shallow water on the lakeside or on the island under the support of high-legged wooden stakes, forming water villages. When I told the boat owner that I wanted to see the local market and wanted to see the real life of the locals, the boat owner told the boat owner to take us to a water village called tha1eoo. There is a long wooden bridge here leading to the entrance of the village. After getting off the boat, I walked along the direction indicated by the boat owner, and soon I saw the sign of rket.

As the boat approaches slowly, people on the bridge will greet us with a smile. Every household living by the lake has a small boat, and they will travel with the boat as soon as they leave the house. The fishermen, vegetable farmers, and children going to school all travel on the lake by boat, and even monks go out to beg for alms. People are happy to give, but monks cannot pick the food they get from begging for alms. People eat whatever they donate, and adhere to the teachings of not eating after noon.

Sit down like a local and order a fried cake, which is wrapped in a sweet soybean filling. The fried cakes will be cut into small pieces before serving, and the taste is OK.

There are everything in the market, including clothing, handicrafts, medicines, traditional pastries, grains, fruits, flowers, vegetables and meat, etc. People are constantly communicating.

The vendors still use traditional balance scales, with a plate hanging on each side of the left and right, and weights placed while placing goods. The shapes of the weights make people curious.

Small stalls selling betel nuts are everywhere. vendors usually apply white lime on the leaves, put them into small pieces of betel nuts, and wrap them with other spices of various names. Put 4-6 into small plastic bags and sell them in bags.

When visiting the process of making silver jewelry, there were four or five people sitting in the small workshop. Each person was responsible for the process steps, types and styles of jewelry. For example, some were responsible for making bracelets, some were responsible for making hanging ornaments, or some were responsible for polishing, and some were responsible for splicing.

If she hadn't asked the commentator in the workshop, no one would have thought that the purpose of this small fruit picked from the tree was to wash silver. As she was talking, the commentator demonstrated it to us. She picked up a brush dipped in water and rubbed it on the fruit, and it turned out to bubble magically.

When we came to the textile workshop of the long-necked tribe, women of the long-necked tribe put copper rings on their necks since childhood. As they grew older, the number of copper rings continued to increase. The unique lotus silk weaving here. The female worker extracted silk fibers from the lotus stems and weaved them into fabrics and clothes. Although there are many types of lotus flowers in Inlei Lake, it is said that only this kind of red lotus can be used for spinning. The female worker broke the lotus stems, pulled out the silk and placed it on the wooden table in front of her, and then kneaded the silk into thread with her palms.

Suddenly, the cigars here are very common, without any chemicals added, the taste is mellow, and the price is not expensive. The outer layer of the cigar is a unique leaf, and the texture and emerald green color are preserved. Cigars are made here by hand, and female workers skillfully roll cigarettes, paste interfaces, and make filters.

Standing at the bow of the boat, the lake is very big, like a sea. When the lake is calm, groups of white lake gulls always rest quietly. Occasionally, ships come, and they circle on the passing boats wantonly.

I don’t know when the color of the lake changed, from clear and green to turbid yellow soup. The long-tailed boat drove forward, and there was no specific dividing line wherever it went, so the color of the lake changed naturally.

Passing a remote village in the southwest, the largest ruin here is Ruiyinting Buddha Temple. There is a corridor of more than 100 meters in the temple, and there are rows of handicraft stalls on both sides of the corridor. Walk along the corridor to the mountain for a while, and you can see a whole ruin of the pagoda.

There is a small bridge at the pier, and a small studio is opened next to the bridge. Johnson was attracted by the hand-painted postcard hanging on the fence of the house. When he got closer, he saw a father and son focusing on his brushes. The sun was just right, and even the air was filled with a hint of comfort.

6 The tour is not as good as the bottom of a thatched hut. The father and son are working on farming mulberry trees. This is probably the scene!

As soon as the boat landed, the cat was greeted by everyone. The cat jumping temple was located on the west side of the lake and was famous for the cats jumping here. There were many cats in the temple. These cats were trained to jump around and perform, but unfortunately they were not seen when they went there.
