D4 Jishou - mengdong he (Hibiscus Town)
In fact, on the travels four, the reason for the delay has not write, partly because of the time and mood of the reasons, on the other hand also because of the fourth day of the trip, and harvest less than a few days before.
The next night, down from the post-Deben's Aizhai Jishou us directly back, slightly feel a bit Jishou University of style, we will rush toward the Furong, with her long-standing reputation of the famous and unlimited reverie.
Train to the mengdong he, although only 8 points more, but out of the train station got the feeling in a dark deserted, coupled with confusing mengdong he is being renovated train station was once so that we got separated a few Mix. Hey this is the Furong, the first impression is bad!
From the train station to the Hibiscus Town mengdong he was also about 30 kilometers away, there are boats and cars in two ways. Although the dock boatman in their efforts to call a passion, but I looked at the black unpredictable river, decided to ride.
40 minutes drive, we are in accordance with the recommendation of the driver admitted to a "floating hotel." Because of the way pretending to have a practical guide to enable small drivers that the expectations of the latter part of the business, I got back, he purposely in order to express the friendly reminder to: Do not be too late at night a person out, because here the multi-drug use, law and order is not very good!
Even so, I still can not help but lay down their luggage out a small slip of the lap. To listen to presentations, Hibiscus Town is built according to river, side by side on a look at the new and old two blocks. We live in the new streets, the streets are scattered missing two rows of old and new buildings of varying seemed a bit messy, fragmented business, deserted street shops and buildings where a missed shot to even the lights lights up the road is being renovated embarrassment. The following streets are a dark dark mix in large falls mengdong he can not see too many angry. Disappointment, I gave up before the trip back to my hotel, and several companions big plays a game, "Chameleon."
Perhaps the bad impression of last night, perhaps a few days prior to fatigue, early in the morning was awakened by a group of tourists drifting or dragging our half-day was up, not too many expectations toward the streets.
Hibiscus Town's Street, is also a large bluestone slip road, roadside pile up inside the Diaojiaolou distributed to a variety of operating shops: Travel goods, small restaurants, rice tofu shop, weaving shops, but the lack of standardized street explicit congestion , messy. According to online Raiders, we have found in what the Cascade House. But because a long time, no rain, past the majestic three off the waterfall can be seen only a few small water, we had quite a few people on the building to show the so-called mood Tujia and the rumbling of some fiddling with objects in order to live up to buy tickets.
Hibiscus Town, formerly known as Wangcun, is a common Tujia and Miao villages. Can have in today's well-known, partly because mengdong he's drifting, while the largest contribution to come from Liu Xiaoqing year's "Hibiscus Town." This film, see Shi Hai very small, only vaguely remember the film's rice tofu and the phrase "sport! Sport!" Slogan!
Today's Hibiscus Town is also regarded as blessing not forget to think about the source, first do not speak the streets of rice tofu shop in competition play the "authentic Liu Xiaoqing m tofu" sign (I wonder if this count as infringement litigation Xiaoqing happy when Aunt will also came to get a hit) and even one of the alleys you can see in big characters "*** jumping through the window at" (like in the film an episode, that Mr. movements out of captivity, after jumping through the window ).
Street is not long, but also makes the owner of the lack of enthusiasm we do not have anything in Taiwan. More than two hours, we have the longest stay is the St. Paul prior to that an authentic rice tofu shop, and a slightly bit the size of hand-weaving workshop (this side of the fabric to the hand is worth a buy). Rented a small boat leaves the pier into the river visited the stroll, we hurried ashore to find a store to solve the problem lunch.
Experienced the loss of the morning, we have greatly reduced interest in drifting. Lunch is a bit absent-minded, after some discussion, we decided to go in the afternoon, "Fuji door", and then return to mengdong he train station travel (which has the point of feeling in order to pass the time).
Afternoon, so-called "Fuji door", but an inclusion of a very ordinary mountain town a small park, it is perhaps not worth such a trip. But the way we did again for the magnificent rugged mountain western Hunan impressed. The mountain road with cars built in the mountainside, large enough only two cars in parallel all the way insurance bend continuously. Sitting in the car, look up the Chongshan green eye-catching heel down, look down from the narrow ravine a few hundred meters deep mengdong he can be seen in the passion flowing. Faced with this at Hong Kong, we have, regardless of danger several times in the presence of several sharp bends parking, murder film, and the deep valley from time to time cries echoed from drifting off.
Because of objective reasons, we have been unable to stay one day more. Thus, in Hibiscus Town left with no regrets mengdong he drifted, we ended the 4-day Hunan line, set foot on the return.

From Jishou to mengdong he station, a number of trains passing by hard seat ticket 8 yuan / person, about an hour.

In the Hibiscus Town, it seems like very few Diaojiaolou private inn, full of relatively modern private small hotel, of course, the Phoenix should be relatively high cost. As we stay at a "floating hotel", Triple room with air conditioning (but not open, if open, then have to charge 30 yuan), an independent toilet and water heater, 80 yuan / day.
Food:
Hibiscus Town Street dock office, there is also quite the size of more than a dozen restaurants, also more expensive than Phoenix. We are six individuals, eating very ordinary, almost have 70 or so.
As for the rice tofu, may be due to mood's sake, we still feel that there is no Phoenix delicious. Street next to the arch of that house m tofu shop, is the year when Liu's film site, may be able to go to eat to see!
