Group Class Notes 28th February (Jesse)
A famous Chinese saying goes, āSuzhou and Hangzhou are paradises on earthā. However the paradise I am talking about today is neither of them. A foreigner friend told me that he has been to Hangzhou and Suzhou multiple times. He went to find the clean river, silent courtyards and a moment to dream away, but rushing tourists and rubbish often bothered him. He doesnāt know if he can find a true āparadiseā in the fast developing world a place where all the noise, worries and reconstruction stop, and youāre only left with beautiful scenery and highly protected ancient buildings, until he arrived a small city in the north of Jiangsu province. The name of the city is Nantong, what a surprise? Now Iāll tell you why.
A famous Chinese saying goes, āSuzhou and Hangzhou are paradises on earthā. However the paradise I am talking about today is neither of them. A foreign friend (a friend who’s a foreigner) told me that he has been to Hangzhou and Suzhou multiple (several / quite a few) times. He went to find clean rivers, silent courtyards and a moment to dream away, but rushing tourists and rubbish often bothered (annoyed / disturbed) him. He doesnāt know if he can find a true āparadiseā in the fast developing world, a place where all the noise, worries and reconstruction stop, and youāre only left withĀ (all that remains is)Ā beautiful scenery and highly protected ancient buildings – until he arrived a small city in the north of Jiangsu province. (And, what a surprise that the name of the city is Nantong) The name of the city is Nantong, what a surprise! Now Iāll tell you why.
