Kaifeng Travels
To mention a trip is to a child thousands of miles outside the play, as Zhengzhou, I actually graduated from university in Kaifeng, Luoyang, no good even played. The girl from Beijing to my wife and children live, exclaiming to go to Kaifeng, Luoyang play. Is really the middle of my heart. Santana borrowed cars, ready to mineral water, fruit, pastries and, of course yuan, starting the next day!
Thursday, 7 am, some days slightly overcast, refreshing cool, is suitable for travel. I drove off State Road 107, on the high-speed, step on the gas - car bitter wind is blowing, the twinkling of an eye speed to 120km/hour, almost Zheliang broken car limit. Less than eight points up. Under the high-speed, to the beams Road East, turn, head of the beam is a towering gate. Oh, magnificent. Compared with the city, Zhengzhou, basically belongs to rural areas of the mall. We have not eaten breakfast, snacks Kaifeng, then the well-known, how can we not Retention stomach? Walk in the mountain, to the free road turned east, compared with Temple not far away is the. Temple pulled up by the pre-market phase, how how, ten-dollar parking fee, ah, honest Jiaoqian bar. Temple across the street relative to the small breakfast could be Zhenbu Shao ah, we are 30 meters away from the forward and wife cried on the open: to here to here, and consequently there is! We have heard that selling heart scared, far bypassed, casually looking for a home despite our shop to sit down. Hu asked for a soup and steamed buns. To be fair, the taste is very general, and Zhengzhou Hu soup seems different. Indiscriminately eat.
Then we bought two student tickets, each ten-dollar into the famous Temple of the major phase. One into the temple to see the second floor has a reading room, I asked a little monks, I can not go to see, he said I can go back to see a place selling books. Participation Hall Baidian the way we came Sokokuji most famous beautiful octagonal pavilion, Daimyo is the octagonal glass palace. Outside the Lohans, the Buddha inside the Buddhist goddess. I am in Beijing Hongluo Lohan looked like a forest, you have thin shrines Lohan's profiles, this look at Lohan hung under the eaves, his mind sounded a song: I am taking a closer look, under terms and saw the Each Lohan is not easy. The golden fish Fangsheng Chi Ting Wai years with people moving, a few turtles relaxed contentment. Temple has a feature that is popular Buddhism introduced. Hanging on the wall a lot of brands, talk about a lot of basic vocabulary of the popular interpretation of Buddhism. Such as industry, what is the industry, I understand, but I can not tell, Oh, so I can not write to. More concentrated flavor Xiangguosi business, buy a lot of things, I think it is this temple tradition. According to historical "Tokyo Menghualu," recorded in the Northern Song Dynasty is a great Sokokuji crowded area of the big market, and to come here not only are worshiping the Buddha, you can also buy things to see juggling, eating snacks; even open all night Sports Club (sumo competitions). Can be said that a 24-hour food entertainment city. Gao comrades seems to be well-known here, the beauty of molesting the wife of Lin Chong's right? Lu Zhishen what I had wanted to find the principal of the management of vegetable garden, but look at this temple, said under the jurisdiction of the Northern Song-phase 64 Zen Temple Law School, the old Lu's garden I do not know what Garak it! However, if Temple really repair a phase when the attraction appears to be used is not bad. Girlfriend bought a Master temple inscription of a fan, but also bought the Nanyang jade beads do. I am a Buddhist book exchanges Department and novices exchange for a while. I said: give me a pick not only easy to understand how the shallow Liusu entry of Buddhism? Monk well prepared training and preparation I have a "Buddhist Master Sheng Yen, Dharma talk," rolled, really good. This book is not priced, casual pays for. I took 10 yuan, I thought how did a 5 yuan pocket it?
Sihou we came out of a memorial temple, ten-dollar ticket student tickets per person. Memorial temple inside the small, but Bao's great and beautiful lakes. Southern People's Congress a few voice is very annoying. Kaifeng previous prefect Beishang bread, and feel the public's name is not a look, I see there is still a well-known under the name of Cai Jing comrades a few rows, nobody touch him. Lao Chai how to say the four were also among the Song Dynasty calligrapher ah; Water Margin There are also a few scenes, how not to open awareness? Commentator wrote: the history of Bao Gong is a scholar, a small white-faced only one meter six. The small one's friends who heard the effect? No more complex about! Bao biographies display at the museum of the historical dynasties praise of his literary works, the latest one is "Youth Justice Bao." Lake Bao really large, clear-camellia Unfortunately, hot days, we dare not stay, hurried out.
Come out from the memorial temple and saw an advertisement, said Liu at the expense of everyone visits, we Meisha interest, they arrive at a Longting. 16 tickets per person. Here is said to be the Song Dynasty palace ruins, architectural patterns similar to the Imperial Palace in Beijing. Of course, according to historical records, Beijing palace is made imitation Tokyo establishment. About Longting the right path, the left Yang Lake, the right for the Pan Lake. I think this really has two lakes divided voicing then, Yang Lake seems less coloration more, I wonder if this is not a psychological hint. Longting climbed into the hall of the high-end, somewhat the meaning of Hall of Supreme Harmony. Unfortunately, there is no Throne, but a group of wax figures depicting brought in to sit the throne hall banquet scene courtiers, Gao Huaide, ZHAO Pu-splitting and other military commanders on both sides of a group of Fumiomi. Here the meaning is still engaged in a very good wax, but the image of several military commanders too miserable a point, really damage my big Paul Song. We are down from a high pavilion, it is found east and west sides of the wind-room where there is an array of historical events of the wax figure depicts the Northern Song Dynasty. Example, industry owned by Yang Song, Chanyuan Alliance, Wang An-shih Reform, Huizong painting and so on, although it can not lifelike, but the scene under the towering Longting, or giving space for reverie. Small shops at the gate, we looked at several versions of a very good Painting Scroll, ranging from 30-50 yuan, to appreciate the owner told us that I have five dollars in small-size map, we are happy to buy two volume, one volume. Of course, we did not know the river park in the vicinity of cemeteries and numerous shops are waiting to sell our home this map.
Out Longting park, the parents in a small restaurant across the street waiting for us, and then taste the clyster package, the taste is not very authentic, it is better then the first floor Beijing Qianmen. Small restaurant can be beheld the famous alum House, The Water Margin in Li Shishi home is here, when the Emperor Dao-Jun and in order to facilitate her tryst also specializing in a tunnel. Unfortunately, looks deserted.
Tomb Sweeping Festival, on the afternoon went to the river park, 30 yuan per person. The performances are all in the morning, we just heard a chime bells, quick to listen to broken eardrums, Hei hei. Mad stroll inside a while, feel good. Casino, there is Qiang Gong, hard crossbow, throwing knives, money and other items you can shoot a dart play. Look at those target figures on how well-dressed sanctimonious? Originally was considered a big traitor of the CAI, Tong Guan, K., and others high in the sky. I grabbed the money and dart, only heard the number of wind, wind, sound, all of them have a vital. Not how I wanted to get a few warmongers killing spree such as gold Wushunianhan咱Xie Jie Qi like to do? Make life difficult for the old with the one of us, like "Devils on the Doorstep" did. Stray from the point of. I was treading water at 37 sites that place cars, fun, ah, it can be aware of principles of the waterwheel. The garden idea is very good, I wanted to clear the park should be extended to the architectural style of the city of Kaifeng, Kaifeng put into a large walkers, that is the real tourist cities it! We are moving too tired to buy a Bian embroidery and other souvenirs, it came out.
Home passing Zhongmu, turning to the Guandu ancient battlefield sites. No one could see a long time coming, and we do not panic either of leisure into. 15 tickets per person. Into a little girl in a big circle with a venue where clay portraits give us to explain the circumstances surrounding the Battle of Guandu. The attractions of creativity have been far less clear and bright on the River Park. A war that could attract a lot more?
Travel to an end. Today I am enjoying to, but did not go to Kaifeng, there are many places, including the famous Eiffel Tower, was too tired. And other future we have a chance. Kaifeng attractions development is very good, but it seems, and the city does not have a better integration. Western scholars have been referred to as "pre-modern" of the Northern Song dynasty had been dead for nearly 900 years, the Song liberal culture with their own will push the Chinese civilization, the pinnacle of the imperial era. Reading of the Song Dynasty poetry, from time to time people felt that the year was even higher than today's culture and ideology. I hope that tomorrow's Kaifeng, is not only a tourism Songcheng, but also a culture Songcheng.
