“An orange gem resting on a blue glass plate: it’s Venice seen from above.”
-Henry James
A Fairy City
love from my childhood
I have been here twice. Even though the first time my wallet was stolen right after I got out from the train station, I still love Venice. You can always hear the gondoliers singing folk songs. They are really easy to recognize, dark skin, wearing navy or red striped t-shirts, long black pants, straw hats, and smiling with their brightest teeth.
威尼斯，第二回在这座水城里游走。还是爱她，即使第一次光临时便在火车站被偷走了钱包。在主岛小巷里穿梭，耳边时不时传来贡多拉船夫唱的民谣。这里的船夫很好认, 每一个都皮肤黝黑, 穿着黑白或红白条的T恤, 还有黑色长裤, 戴着红边草帽。他们笑的时候都会露出两排白白的牙，一切都很简单。
我两次都选的都是30分钟…
有闲情的人呢 也可以选择一个小时…
玻璃岛和彩色岛都是必去的景点啦，坐船一个小时就可以到。玻璃岛(Murano)的特色顾名思义就是彩绘玻璃。彩色岛真的是每个人都梦寐以求去的小镇! 彩色岛(Burano)的特色则是手工蕾丝。这座童话小岛规定居民每年刷一次颜色，挂在门上的布帘都是亲手制作。
Burano
Burano (glass island) and Murano are the must-go attractions. Burano is known for its colored houses and intimate lace. Each year, by law, the residents have to re-paint their houses. People will hang their hand-made curtains in front of their doors and decorate the houses with flowers.

Both of my visits to Venice were short, but Venice left me with unforgettable feelings.
