The most persistent audience
Photographers use lenses to record changes.
On the evening of 25th, guests from Chinese and foreign canal cities came by dragon boat, and people's smiling faces were blooming on both sides of the ancient canal. They waited in the rain and welcomed guests from all over the world with warm applause. Many citizens use Dv cameras and even mobile phones to record the prosperity of the ancient canal.
Photographers become the most persistent audience. From Nanmen ruins to Dongguan Gudu, and then to Cheap Gate Square and the hydrophilic pier along the ancient canal, there are many "long guns and short guns" photographers. Carrying big bags of camera equipment, they drill around in the crowd, not only to take good photos, but also to prevent the camera from getting wet and getting water.
Photographer Meng told reporters that the ancient canal flower boat parade was a project he filmed for four years. He said that a flower boat tells a story. A flower boat changes every year, such as the "traffic number". This year, the element of airplane was added, which gave people the imagination of flying in the sky. It was a spiritual take-off and showed the good expectations of the general public for a better tomorrow in Yangzhou.
The happiest actors have contributed to the Expo for four years in a row.
At 6pm on 25th, 50 members of Zhuohe Dance Association, a resident of Wenchang Garden Club, came to Xuningmen Bridge and presented the dance Jasmine. Even if the rain falls on them, everyone's enthusiasm remains undiminished. She said, "When our dance was presented to Chinese and foreign guests, I felt a sense of pride and my heart was sweet." She proudly said, "Yangzhou has hosted four World Expos, and I am a participant and witness every year."
Yangzhou Long-distance Running Association has more than 200 people to help the Expo. They are distributed in different places and perform different programs. Here they dance taiji sword, there they pick flower baskets and dance yangko. Sun Gaoming, head of the association, said that the annual World Canal City Expo is not only a grand event for canal cities, but also a festival for Yangzhou citizens. Dancing with a smile is a sign of happiness, and you don't feel tired at all!
The most civilized scene: there is little garbage along the ancient canal.
Both sides of the canal near Gudu in Dongguan are surrounded by people. When the flower boat full of modern culture shakes out of sight, everyone can't help but exclaim. At about 8: 30 that night, the flower boat parade ended and Suzhou citizens left here one after another. Some people picked up the plastic bag that had just been put on the ground. "It is difficult for us to pick up garbage here," said Tian Jiajuan, road manager of Lanting Property Co., Ltd. "On that day, our company 16 people were on duty along the ancient canal section from Yanfu Road to Taizhou Road, in order to keep the ancient canal clean and tidy. Although we have prepared tools and are ready to pick up garbage at any time, there is almost no garbage on the ground during peak hours. We had a very relaxing evening. "
