North dawn early, before 4:00 on bright days, and later One day, I saw the newspaper in Dalian, "daylight time: 3:55; Sunrise time: 4:33" Therefore, until 7:00 every day , like the south of 9,10 points, then the Liangtang Tang, which is used to Lanjue sleeping less than 8 point does not get out of bed every day of my most suited point.
I went to the Longmen Grottoes. The car went into a cave, first round into the side of the Longmen Grottoes Research Institute, to discover what there is no treasure has not been on public display.

The thickness of the shell up to 34 centimeters, but everything! Of modern technology, so simple, is not necessary to chisel the stone used in conjunction, and so accelerated the cult object, into his kowtow If the person knows, and my heart there will be less religion?
Affected by this, look after the caves where a variety of statues, my heart always have doubts about the Cultural Revolution smashed so many years, how many of the existing inside smashed after the imitation, how many are truly left behind it? Re-thinking hard rock can not withstand weathering, more vulnerable to man-made destruction, which then devout beliefs Jiabu Zhu kneel before facing the shell of irony, you can not help endless sorrow.

Stroll a bit Central Plains Road, Triumph Road's shops, the temperature is high, said to have 37. C, I do not sweat it at this time not even the arms of those who have been pockets of perspiration were shining white, hot tired Cross, we looked for a beauty salon to go to sleep, 30 champ care, with almost Zhuhai, on the inside lay for nearly two hours to avoid the hottest afternoon hours.
Luoyang urban areas Wangchenggongyuan, Xiyuan Park, peony blossoms in April of each year's season can go to these parks to enjoy the flowers, but when I went to had not even Canhua, and so we just went along was r. strip layout Luopu Park is a park for the public free of charge, without access to information, do not know where Mi Fei is becoming Roselle drowned, but the scenery and monuments throughout the Luoyang are masculine bias, non-feminine of the gas, although there peony flower is also a King, Mi Fei certainly not passed away here.
