友人夫妇这次带我去了杨柳青，我们主要参观了著名的石家大院。石家是当地数一数二的大户，因为那里靠着大运河，所以石家是靠了贩运发的财。这里不仅亭台楼榭，最具特色是戏楼，据说以前很多著名的戏班子都在石家戏楼唱过戏，石家另一特色是它的采暖系统，采用的是皇宫的方法，民间很罕见。这个地方是著名的年画产地，剪纸也很普遍，且看起来不错。等我们参观完回到市内，已经是快3点了，到处都找不到吃饭的地方，通常的饭馆都要到5点才开门，于是我们在上岛咖啡吃了饭，原本担心上岛只有西餐，后来发现其实在中国的咖啡屋也一本土化了。饭后我们又去了古文化街附近，那里有座桥十分有特色，整座桥都是玻璃做的。一开始会有些害怕，过一会就好了。
晚上去转了附近的一间新开张的韩国购物中心，东西有中档的，也有高档的。中档的价钱与新加坡差不多，高档的应该比新加坡贵一倍以上，我买了一条短裙，好像是250块左右，也买了一件外套，2300+块。但是样式新加坡所看不到的。
This time, my friend and her husband brought me to a small town called Yangliuqing. It’s famous for its Chinese New Year paintings. Basically we visited Shi Family’s courtyard there. (Shi family was one of the richest families there.) The place is just next to the Grand Canal, so the Shi family became rich for transportation, mainly salt and rice. The most unique building here is the Stage, It is said that many famous actors and actresses performed there. The heating system here is quite close to the one in the Palace Museum. The paper cutting here is also not bad. It was about 3pm after we finished visiting there. All the restaurants were closed except Shangdao Café. Initially I did not want to go there, as I did not like western food. But after I tried, I found in Tianjin even cafes were already localized. Basically they were still selling Chinese cuisine. After the meal, we went to the Ancient Culture Street. There was a bridge quite interesting. It was made of tempered glass for the whole bridge. I felt a bit scared in the beginning, but soon I felt better.
Nearby there was a big Korean Shopping Mall that was just opened. Things there usually were cheap and averaged two different categories. The average one was about the same price as in Singapore. The expensive one was about two times as much. I bought one short skirt which was about ￥250 (S$47.65) and a jacket ￥2304 (S$439). It’s quite expensive, but you wouldn’t find it in Singapore.
