Tell you what! My hometown, Chicheng, has been enlisted as  nationwide traditional historical town. I felt somewhat cynical, watching the  news that a group of officials were visiting the Farmers’ Marketplace in  Waterwell Inlet, where some traditional smells are still haunting. 

My  beautiful hometown lives only in my dream: Zhixi creek winds down from the  upstream along the national route 318 then makes a right turn, cutting  Chicheng town apart, with the only two main streets extending along its both  banks. A wooden bridge, named Flyover Clouds, situated very next to the  river-bend. Sustained by three huge stone piers, the bridge is 15 meters  above water surface. Two more floors were added above the bridge passage  floor. The unique building with wooden frame and floors, roofed with blue  ceramic tiles, is a famous landmark of the town. About 600 meters down the stream  lies across a stone bridge, Red-Star Bridge, which is strong enough for  automobiles. Two huge ficus-virens stand on each end of the bridge, leaving  their limbs and leaves dipping into water. Another 600 meters down with a  shallow left turn, stand a group of stone piers, on which we could walk  across. On the right bank%% is a small alluvial fan resided by Kuige tower, a  wooden architecture on octagonal stone base, 5 floors, with its eight  overhanging eaves stretching out. Surrounded by sports square, park and  grapefruit orchard, the erecting tower has been witnessing the changing of my  hometown for few hundred years. Looking over the creek, the upper half of a  white tower lures me, with its lower half hiding in foothills, and with its  water reflection in the tranquil creek. It is the Jiufeng Temple Tower, 13  floors, entirely built with bricks; it has been dating with the creek for 800  years… 

Gone is my dreamed hometown. Now, new buildings have replaced  traditional blue-tile-roof houses; avenues are taking the places of old  alleys… Traditional tastes have almost been annihilated!
