5.1 I am the first with Beijing to set the two men and three women, at noon sharp in Yichang extract a 6.6 kg after big catfish, and Guangzhou to a pair of rendezvous. Shipai boat to begin the journey on foot.
Shipai is an already developed tourist area, traffic was good, we quickly pass through. The fourth spring over the world, the Xiaoxie a moment, drinking spring water. After mountain began to narrow, up down more. About 2 hours later arrived in Dangyang head.

Before dark, arriving Dangyang head. We live in warm kind-hearted old Zhang. Location of his house high, wide vision, surrounded by the orange grove in full bloom is very fragrant orange flowers.
That night, half-round of the crescent moon in the sky, the sky may cover only a Dipper, etc. How many pieces can be seen a very bright star. Under the moonlight, we are in the yard Kuanyijiedai, farm-made bamboo chair to sit and drink farmer's home-made new springs bubble tea and laughter Huan days. Gap Ruozhen across the moon, if magic, surrounded by indistinct orange tree flowers, fireflies light up and down the side fly. We have been in Wonderland the first night of the journey on foot.
