A．Then we walked around and started learning about Hongcun and its history by admiring its ancient architecture.
B．All in all, our day in Hongcun was more interesting than I thought it would be. And the town really looks like something out of a traditional Chinese painting.
C． We went into some houses that were built by extremely wealthy salt and silk traders. And then we saw some houses where ordinary people had lived. They were small but seemed quite comfortable.
D．I had my doubts about spending my day off visiting Hongcun. From what I knew about the town, it seemed like just a small, very traditional sort of town. However, my friend promised that I wouldn't be disappointed with a visit to the town. And I wasn't!
E. When we got off the bus at Hongcun, we were greeted by a beautiful view of Nanhu (the South Lake). The scene of the lake and town would make a particularly nice postcard. The black roofs, the white walls, and clear blue water made the view truly unforgettable.
