Guang Ling was first built in ancient times. The wall bricks, the roof tiles, and the rotten beams of the buildings were like an aging elderly person, portraying the astounding history of this city. A common saying among the famous Confucian scholars was that Guang Ling was a striking resemblance of the people's culture and scenery of Jiang Dong.
Numerous tributaries cut through the City of Guang Ling. In the city, the horizontal pathways were the streets, whereas the vertical pathways were the roads. An indescribable majesty and charm was hidden within the small bridges and streams; the weeping willows and the white walls; and the copper, ring-shaped door handle and the wooden doors. It seemed as though time had been frozen here.
