Day: (beginning of 4 2001/01/27 Yin)
Morning, I was still hanging in his blanket, he was told the dog fine wool have been frozen water pipe this morning, so there is no water. Oh, really poor, but now has refused to take so much, and I had to use a dog fine hairs left over last night and drank some tea, water, brush teeth, wash with hot water bottle has a wholeness face, ready to set out. As for the insulation travel mug, then the absence of washing, it can only be stained with so-so cup of tea has washed up in the coffee. Extraordinary times, and can only be treated in a very.
Today, our goal is to Qixia Hill, Qixiashan In rural areas, relatively distant, it may seize the time. Along the way forward is urgently OK, but since today is the beginning of 4, and days are no longer rain or snow, so the road to pedestrians or tourists to be more than a few days ago. Some locals are in a leisurely manner, Nanjing Lian Duan physical or birds in the slide, and both of us look very different.
Take on the door at the presidential palace to the Qixia Hill Mawnan line, after nearly an hour to run around, and finally to the Qixiashan. Alighted from the vehicle, some distance away about ten minutes, you can see the door of Qixia Hill Park, and the entrance filled with incense and firecrackers sold the small vendors who. Into the park, I do not know why, many people are here, the sound of firecrackers, I wonder if there is such a practice (this process of firecrackers continued to play throughout the process). Not far away from the door, that is Qixia Temple, and I quickly removed the dog and the fine wool bought incense at the park entrance, in the Temple and lit, and have promised a number of wishes, I think the Buddha would certainly hear the bar.
Enter into the Temple worship of the temple a number of statues of Buddha and visited the large hall of the exhibition, it came to the Temple of the sale department. Where I bought a bunch of fruit is said to be made with the Buddha Buddha bead, it is ancient, is my favorite kind. Temple monks say, to open too light, I immediately put it worn on the wrist.
The next play is the famous attractions Qianfuyan Qixia, in Qixia sihou of a mountain, carved a lot of holes, each hole has a variety of gestures of Buddha, thus called Qianfuyan. However, we can see, there are a number of statues have been destroyed, leaving only the body or just an empty cave, I am really a pity. But Qianfuyan of fine dog, it becomes a favorite with Canada, he not only carefully watched the hole of each block of the Buddha, also several of which he thought good to remain a shadow, shows that their pious heart.
Read Qianfuyan on along the path up the mountain, and mountain snow in many places are not oriented, step on the above would need much more careful. Along the way are said to have many famous attractions can wait for us to climb to a view, only a small pavilion just a waste of effort. When we posted the Void booths, it was the same tour of Nanjing, said the platform in the Void tingqian the Yangtze River can be seen, but we looked lean, but a hazy and what was invisible.
For us, the important thing is the time, so we immediately down the mountain, in the monastery's museum each ate a bowl of vegetarian prime surface, to solve the problem of lunch. Qixiashan out in the bus station waiting for a train, we all feel a little of this trip is not worth, maybe let's not time to bar, said the fall Qixia most important are the good-looking, full of mountains and red maple and mapping of the entire valley. But we've come, Maple full of snow, under both really not tell what is what is maple pine Fortunately, also shot a few decent snow photos, can be considered a small compensation for bar!
We drive back the urban area, by the way back yesterday in Nanjing, printed photos. A look, we feel regret, although the Nanjing Shanghai much cheaper than the printed photo (Shanghai 0.7 yuan / Zhang, Nanjing and 0.5 yuan / piece), but the technology is not flattered by the prints, photographs, the color red, and somewhat vague , so we immediately cut legislation ready to bring back the remaining photos of them altogether at Shanghai.
Because did not think back to urban areas would be so early, they prepared to re-visit the Confucius Temple, to make up for the first day not to busy. First, we went to China Gate, here is also not heard that do not place, but if you enter a look, the walls have been reduced to a short gate this place, which although for decorative purposes, bar a number of lantern-like This, however, appear to the vulgar. As Cangbing hole, but also filled with stalls, but the vendors who have the initiative to visit us inside Cangbing holes hidden in the true capacity. Here is said in ancient Tibet thousands of soldiers when it is really incredible. According to them, these Cangbing holes have been destroyed before the Japanese army, but only the largest hole that Cangbing withstand the Japanese bombing, there is no completely destroyed. Oh, damn Japs, I think each to Nanjing after the Japanese must be closed to play them twice or even three, four times the tickets to be used for repair by their fathers destroyed things. My proposal was immediately endorsed by the dog to be tiny hairs.
When we arrived Zhanyuan, the days have been down some dark, but the tube park who let us go, but they did not give tickets. Zhan Yuan in the Ming Dynasty when the emperor's palace, looking small and exquisite than-hee Park, more than there are rockery, the latter lake, which rockery "fairy peak" when the legend is still Huizong "Hua Shi Gang," it remains, while Miao Jing Hall was Yuanyang Hall, are Nanjing garden masterpiece. Only some of your tickets, to 10 yuan.
Seeing the sun goes down down, we Wu Wu Yu Guo Zhan Yuan, Qin Huai River along the direction of walking to the Confucius Temple. The Confucius Temple did not expect to see with us today, the first day saw very different around the Confucius Temple, we began to conduct a traffic control, not allowed to vehicular traffic, and enter the lane, each lane is covered with large and small red lanterns, and people are also sporadically walked towards the direction of the Confucius Temple. Closer to the Confucius Temple, the more flow up, and so went to the Confucius Temple of the screen wall, the front of Huo Ran a bright, 110-meter-long big screen wall of a large electric lantern, while the square is also jammed with dozens of small vendors, we are doing the same thing: sell lantern. There are lotus lights, cartoon lights or metaphor showing an auspicious Chinese New Year lanterns hung throughout the square. We all stood written for, or for their own pick, or for their children to choose, or for friends to choose, one group scenes bustling. I led the tiny hairs came the dog's hands in the square to pick this spread, and went to stand sits in that. Eventually, even the eyes are cross-stitch, and was selected to do a red paper lanterns above the plate with a light, and the words written on dragon and phoenix, or use candles point it! To know that the lantern can still folded it, I will take it back to Shanghai, 15 in the first lunar month on the street points, will certainly be the envy of eyes to see happen.
That day, we have been playing to the 22 o'clock before leaving the Confucius Temple. Alas, the evening can only use one word, said: cool. I think this might be the best I came across a bar where the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year. Out of the Confucius Temple, fine whiskers dogs still studying maps, I have eyes light up and saw there is a sale not far from where glutinous rice sweet-scented osmanthus soup, he used a car all the lines of his head, there is a full line of the first half a man's height The dragon-shaped big copper pot. Wow, I've only seen on television, waiter often mention the patrons pouring it to you. I immediately rushed to the requirements of the bowl, stall holders have first in a bowl add a number of glutinous rice in water, and then just opened a spout, on the outflow of some boiling water to (and did not pot lifted), also added a sweet-scented osmanthus water, Hawthorn and some other things, and then handed it to me. I carefully tasted one, ah really nice part, I look at it in a clean drink.
In this way, Confucius Temple of my trip is over, even though there may not have the opportunity to come back, but I think every new year I will think of my century, New Year is in this atmosphere before, really unforgettable ... ...
