浙江在线7月19日讯(记者 陈丽丹)外国人眼中的最美乡村，究竟是怎么样的呢？7月12日以来，浙江在线新闻网站组织外国人体验浙江的美丽乡村，分别来到杭州临安的白沙村、金华兰溪的诸葛八卦村、绍兴柯桥的棠棣村，自然山水、人文历史、生态农业，浙江的美丽乡村吸引外国朋友驻足留念。来自巴基斯坦的浙江大学公共管理学院博士研究生Riaz Ahmad在走访白沙村后，特地写了一篇文章，介绍他所看到的浙江美丽乡村。
Riaz所学的是人口统计学，来中国之前，他在巴基斯坦国防大学从事协调员工作。自去年9月来到中国至今，Riaz和朋友们第一次这么深入农村，不仅有机会看到中国农村的村容村貌，更是和村民互动，和村支书讨论关于农村住房、医疗等方面的话题。
Riaz在文章中说——
我和我的外国友人一起参观了位于杭州临安的白沙村，探索了来自自然的美丽。村里有丰富的自然资源以及人工资源，在那里你可以很简单的感受当地村民的生活方式,古式的建筑,优美的风景。白沙村有着具有民族特色的建筑和美丽如画的风景。白沙村特别适合去摄影、徒步旅行。
对摄影师来说白沙村绝对是一个好地方，尤其是在夏天，几乎每个月都可以去。整个村子被五颜六色的野花、绿色的草地点缀装饰着。
相较于城市生活来讲，这里更加使人放松，没有空气污染，没有堵车，简单的食物以及自然的饮用水，成片的树荫就好像一台天然空调为你遮阳。
这里的自然环境很好，污染少，水和空气又是那么的清新。村里车子少，所以空气也变的特别好，白沙村的村民们与外国人相处时质朴而友好。
白沙村适合所有年龄层的游客，特别适合一些年纪大的人来这里养老。
如果你喜欢享受居住环境中有很多的图书馆、医院、学校、游泳池、电影院、自动取款机，那么你可以选择居住在城市。
如果不是的话，那么选择居住在白沙村会比城市更丰富多彩。
在“2016·美丽浙江——寻找外国人眼中最美的乡村”体验活动中，已有50多位外国朋友和Riaz一样，感受到了浙江美丽乡村的魅力。在接下来的时间里，体验活动还将在嘉兴、湖州、台州、丽水等地市继续举行。
“2016·美丽浙江——寻找外国人眼中最美的乡村”活动由省外宣办、省政府新闻办、省旅游局、省农办联合主办，浙江在线新闻网站、《城市漫步》英文杂志承办，活动评选产生12个外国人眼中的最美乡村。

Baisha Village——From a Foreigner's Perspective
Riaz Ahmad, PHD student of Zhejiang University, Hangzhou,China
Writing is my hobby, appreciation is my habit and point-outing is my nature. Last Tuesday (12 July, 2016) I visited “Baisha Village, Linan, Hangzhou with my other foreign friends to explore the natural beauty :
The natural beauty of Baisha, the scenery and its simplicity encouraged me to explore and introduce all the good aspects of the village as well as put forward some suggestion to cover the gap.
The village is rich from all natural resources as well as artificial. There you can easily meet the experience of the local peaceful lifestyle, the ancient architecture, and the graceful landscapes. The village consists of the ethnic with unique and graceful architectures, beautiful landscapes and peaceful untouched villages with picturesque scenery. Photographing, hiking, and visiting are the customs of Baisha.
The village is a great destination for photographers, especially in the summer session; it is almost suited for months. The village is decorated with colorful wild flowers, white pear blossoms, and green grassland.
The life style and environment there is more relaxed than those in city: no pollution, no traffic, simple food with natural water, and abundant plants which provide fresh air.
The Living condition is better than city's: huge space for living and kids are able to play in freely mood. Most of the villagers are old people working in the farm of yards, and a trend of the youths moving to city for job or for high education.
Working condition of the villagers is very simple but highly prosperous, even they don’t have the high family medical facility but still they are rich from all points of view.
Working life of the Baisha villagers is less challenging, and there is little financial and required professional skill pressure---major ways of income are to be a local tour guide or opening small shops for the visitors.
The residents of Baisha are simple and kind, the interpersonal relationship is easier to deal with.
Baisha Village is highly recommended for all ages of people especially for the elderly people.
Tea in the Village is good in taste and the residents offer tea to every guest because of the cultural tradition, below is a picture of tea-making:
Baisha Village Mountains are full of trees which provide the clean and fresh air to all, below is a picture of the mountains:
In the mountains there are a lot of monkeys, they are trained for the peoples for fun for the visitors, below is the picture:
Shortly, there are quite a few problems living in city………..
Everything has two sides like living in the city / a village……….
I think it depends on your choice…………
If you like fast like with a lot libraries, hospitals,educations, swimming pools , movie theatres, ATMs etc than you can choose the city life otherwise the Baisha life is quite richer than city life.
