在江南苏州到处可见古街、古井、古建筑等景观，置身其中，周围便弥漫着古朴和历史厚重的氛围，直让我们感叹时光的流逝，还有江南生活的精致和优雅。今天给大家呈现的是东山镇即将开始改造的西街，名字是不是有点奇怪：东山西街。

目前这里还是老百姓原生态居住区，入眼杂乱的三线，并不整洁的街巷，以及斑驳的墙面，还有形形色色的当地居民身影，虽说刚一开始有点觉得不协调，但在古街巷里转悠一会儿，就开始慢慢喜欢这里的原真了，原真的街巷，原真的生活，毫无修饰的江南风情。其实，旅游本来就是体验别人的生活，但我们在旅游开发过程中，本想为了游客的舒适和优美，却破坏了游客真正感兴趣的东西，花了高价，效果并不是最好。也许这就是当下中国旅游开发存在的误区。

We can see old well, old building, old street everywhere in Suzhou. When we are walking into them, we will feel much more about Chinese traditional culture and history. How fast the time went and how elegant and subtle Jiangnan living style is! I would like to introduce the west street in Dongshan town. The name is very odd, isn't it. Here is real living district for local people nowadays. We felt a little mess at the first sight, such as dirty street, crowded people and so on. But you must love here if you wander around old street for a long time.
