郑和纪念馆

公园不算大，只有郑和事迹馆和一汪碧水可以看看。那个仿古的船一看就比实物小太多，而且破旧。话说回来，今时今日再把郑和舰按一比一复原的事，恐怕不会有人去做了。我们只好自行想象，在明朝，能容纳千人在上面生活，甚至生老病死，这船该是什么规模？这才是众人景仰的天朝气魄啊。

太仓虽然只是一个县城，但却有许多大城市也不一定比得上的文化设施，郑和纪念馆就是其一，当年多次下西洋的远航，就是从太仓的浏河镇港口出发的。

还不错啊，学习当年叱咤海洋的大明帝国的故事，唏嘘被海洋时代抛弃的经历。

郑和七次下南洋起锚地浏家港，建立了郑和公园和郑和纪念馆，巨大的郑和塑像后不是巨轮起锚的烟囱。

这时今天下午参观郑和纪念馆最大的收获！那把小刀就是郑和被阉的刀子（我反复询问了，就是这把刀）。猜猜看，边上的用蜡封装好的坛子，里面装的是什么东东？

好吧，这个不想忘，很治愈的，就看到这两个字，人立刻神清气爽有木有……这个是在郑和纪念馆（呃…不保证叫这名儿）前地上刻的，除了这两个字代表的国家，其他的真的就一个都不认识了……

It wasn't easy to get there from the center of Tai Cang.I took local bus 203 to the very end.If you get off right before you reach the bridge in Fu qiao village it is only about a half hour walk east towards where the ships are being loaded.Beware of coming back late.I left at 4:30pm and never did get a bus back.Instead I shared a car ride back with two other Chinese business men.The ride on the bus takes about an hour and passes two impressive temples.One mentioned here,The Hai Tian Temple.Zheng He was the commander of a group of ships that may have gone to America 70 years before Columbus.There is a book called 1421 that chronicles his voyages and provides an interesting contrast to the western stuff we were fed in school.Cost is now 30 yuan.
