  上海の友人と訪問しました。 上海から車で1時間強掛かります。 当日は、雨模様で肌寒い天候だったので、観光客もまばらでした。 その分ゆっくりと見ることが出来ました。 上海周辺には、こういった水郷がいくつか残っていますが、 この場所は、トム・クルーズ主演の『MI:3』の舞台になったことでも知られています。 古鎮内を歩いていると映画のシーンとなった場所も残されていて、 この場所で撮影されたんだと思い出し...  more »

  I visited with a friend in Shanghai. It takes an hour by car from Shanghai. On the day, the weather was chilly because of the rain, so the tourists were sparse. I was able to see it slowly.

When I was walking around Kojinnai, there was a place that became a scene of the movie, and While remembering that it was shot in this place, I enjoyed taking pictures of various places.

  上海から車で１時間半ほどのところにある水郷古鎮。中国にありがちな「古そうに作った新しい古鎮」ではなく、多くが現存している本当の古い建物を利用しているだけあって、趣きがありました。 川沿いの煙雨長廊や細い路地が特徴の石皮奔など、見どころも多くありました。  more »

  Suigo Kojin is about an hour and a half drive from Shanghai. It was not a "old old old shrine" that is common in China, but it was interesting because many of them used real old buildings that still exist. There were many attractions such as the stone skin wall which is characterized by the smoke rain corridor along the river and a narrow alley.
