I went to the riverside lane, not introduced by others, but because I wandered in unintentionally.
It's quiet here during the day and quieter at night. No neon lights, no red lanterns, no inn; There are only two rows of dilapidated wooden stilts, 1500 meters away, and the Far East Building rises across the river.
Occasionally, a wisp of kitchen smoke hovers from the eaves to the sky.
These old houses have mysterious eyes, but I don't think they are haunted houses, because the moss on the wet walls adds to my warmth.
Walking in the alley by the river always makes people feel itchy, but I found that I am the only young man in this alley. Besides, a few Hakka girls are playing with rubber bands.
There is no urban management in the alley, and there is no need to worry about public security.
On both sides of the alley are reclaimed fields, which are used to grow vegetables, especially water spinach.
That's the most eaten and best vegetable in this city.
Riverside alley, right by the river.
The house by the river is the house by the river lane. These houses that live by the river are happier than me. I guess: they should be a group of big birds lying by the river since ancient times, snuggling under a very old camphor tree and singing a Hakka love song day and night.
Of course, there will be a pier as old as an alley by the river.
This smooth and wet, made of bluestone strips, watched the ships that docked here 80 years ago come and go. These dazzling bluestone strips are the favorite of the old people in the alley. They can sit on it for a whole afternoon every day, slowly use decades of white hair as a fishing line and catch fish that have been kept in the river for a century.
There is a tombstone by the dock, and there is a round-headed statue on the top of the tombstone. Its kung fu is as naive as a panda, and it can accompany the dead to sleep.
There is a releasing tower near the pier, and the bodhisattva in the tower always looks at the river kindly; There are also two goldfish on both sides of the tower corner, engraved with four vague characters: South Amitabha.
There are incense sticks all around.
Sitting on the dock, you can see the most beautiful stone arch bridge in the riverside alley from a slightly inclined angle. This stone arch bridge is probably the most iconic landmark in Binjiang Lane, hence its name: Yijing Bridge.
At this moment, I believe that the place where I stand must be the best place to shoot the bridge section. But it seems that no one has ever filmed it. Maybe someone will come later, but I don't know if I can find the most beautiful light and shadow and the best angle in the riverside alley.
