Opening a drawer, and a few old ferry drifted down the Three Gorges seem to have at hand. Had long wanted to write a write, but the matter dragged on until now, overtaken by events, precipitation has long precipitation emerged has emerged.
July 9 6:00 pm, buy on the Nanchang - Yichang, the last one sleeper bus ticket, 139 yuan. A particularly large number of people today, catch up with the work of a group of recently graduated students who went to Yichang, their young are also the lively even the aisles filled, few tourists. 6:30, car to deliver the car, the car crossed the twilight around 8:00 in the Jiujiang Yangtze River Bridge. Speaking funny, I was actually called the play at the first time crossed the Yangtze River, while the next few days I will be countless times walking in the Yangtze River. Hubei Huangmei car into the pond entrance, I got dinner.
Drowsily woke up again to sleep, to sleep again awake. Driving through Wuhan, the Mercedes-Benz in the Han-Yi has been on the highway, one by one well-known places such as the Jingzhou flyby by. I like a man speeding on the highway at night feeling half awake between, there are some things clear up the special mood as quiet as the night.
4:00 the morning of July 10 more arrived in Yichang Bus Station. The driver allows you to continue to sleep in the car, but no air conditioning.
6:00, playing the vehicles leased to the Grand Bridge Pier, 5 yuan. Driver warned me not to the hands of the pier outside the ticket, this is my first contact with Yichang, he said that he was an old father-in-Padang's brother, and something happens he could find him, and repeatedly reminded me of a person to be careful, let me deeply moved.
Although the cold young lady selling tickets, but it does remind me that she caught up with 6:30 Yichang - the Arima Fengjie passenger numbers, I get Padang, third-class, 36 yuan, but the boat to the four and other cabin. Boat out of Yichang, a moment arrived at Gezhouba, the world famous engineering looks a bit ordinary. Where consumption in the lock side by more than two hours, and only in the lock where I discovered how small person and even ships.
Gezhouba out into the Qutang, the river began to appear everywhere in a bubble and the vortex. Standing in front deck, facing the river wind, the Three Gorges in front of me slowly opened.
9:30, the ship by Padang. Despite the mental preparation, but the town looks like the famous Three Gorges, or scared I was really surprised. A step up from the river bank has been on the height, the county seat on steep slopes, seems small and lonely.
Ride from the pier, "numb children" (Shui, the tricycle) to a new county, 3 yuan. According to online instructions, stay at County Health Bureau Guest House, 20 yuan / person three humans, say more than ten-dollar expensive online. To find the inter-stand to eat lunch, the boss of a person to go out in my amazed and asked several times "Are you a person?" In the future he needed to accompany each place I go.
In East Pakistan a stroll casually stroll, and many Palestinians carrying a large basket carried on under the small Lanhuo. Walked from one another is really tired, because it is not uphill is a downhill, even if I go mountain is also used to go leg pain, this also can see Xiajiang people tenacity. In the River take a long time looking at the name of swirling flow of the river Hunhuang distance, the other side of several vehicles waiting for the ferry, the highway that is leading to the dragon should frame bar. Tian An down, and they asked the next morning to the Pei stone boat classes, return to residence.
At 8:00 on July 11, catch a stone bound for Pei Yun-fat on the 1st boat, the owner, surnamed Li, ship boss is a strong capable woman. Because it is the flood season, the original five-to ten-dollar tickets rose.
11:00 am, the ship to Pei Shi, and my heart is disturbed, the original stone had not moved the entire Pei, and in ruins. Sparse to disembark people went straight to their destination away, and only me, a stranger carrying a large bag, I do not know which to.
Such unit who has completed only after the stopped three individuals: women, elderly people with children asked to go bluestone path. Three one I want one person to go on foot bluestone, quickly discouraged, saying that several people lost their lives on this. 1:00 Book Of Disquietude extremely heart, caught in a dilemma. Wushan boat to have to go to tomorrow. I do not want to spend the night here, scalp a hard, boarded the opposite cliff. Encountered an elderly, out-line the names contained in the local cotton, but, who have emigrated, but the old man said that a good way to go, can not help but feel relieved a lot, but later regretted not been here, filled with water, the results almost died of thirst . 1:30 pm an uneasy one family bid farewell to the last set foot on Old Plank Road. Lu Ting spacious, not like to see as a terrorist on board, but firewood is too dense, especially more Kotake, was out of a fiber Shengle Erdaogou marks trackers marked stone and GPS measurements can be seen from time to time. Passing through a cliffs, there are predecessors put a square at the bottom with the name of the department at least, I also add their names to cheer.
The weather is very hot, above the canyon cliffs, there is no block of the office. This would have normally dry streams, and can only be introduced reverie. Shake the bottle without a drop of water, take a look at the foot of a yellow river of water, and my heart just want to hurry away, rushed to the bluestone eat drink one pass, so no at the end of the foot, and in the bush from which numerous cross-mixing Fortunately, a pair of climbers鞋. Inadvertent enjoy the scenery on both sides, more than 3:00, to not seize the bridge, bridge is Yihong water, parked a few fishing boats. Discuss water to drink to the boatman unsuccessful, would like to decorate the river they can not reach, I thought anyway approaching bluestone, Ren Ren bar. Later prove how the error.
The sun more and more sinister, but also withstand the sun away sweat pour off you. Internet legend in the small mill can not see the total terminals. Finally beheld a few boats parked in front, tight walk a few steps, then down the hundreds of stairs before they touch the Yangtze River. Although he did not drink (not to dock the barge), but the shower Jiang Feng, and then river washed my face, special cool. Person on board a lighter meal, looked at me as if of great concern. I think I should not like a suicide, as if not worth so much attention, until later ran into a few days ago, the heroes come from here before we finally realized - they are afraid that I thirst.
Sitting in a small riverside mill pier, Ji Xuan reluctant to part with the river flow but yes they threw into the distance, thinking of some of the blank. No reason to sit in a foreign land, no one knows where you are, no one will miss you. From here, wash my face a rest after a farewell will always be here also. Opposite the rock legend is a divine book written by Zhuge Liang, when Lu Xun Liu Bei set fire to chase all the way after the joint venture to here, see the book from heaven and then also. Would like to Lu Xun and Zhou Yu young suave, English hair looks majestic, the heart and desire.
Small grinding is good, the final non-long love of the home. Stock your package, along the newly constructed berm of neat difficult move. Turned a corner, a river empties into the Yangtze, canyons look carefully open up, distance is the Goddess Peak under the bluestone town.
Bluestone ruins, all houses have moved more than 175 meters elevation. People from the ruins to the above, the road proved to be the most difficult journey I have in this way. For several hours without water, feet down only soft, walk a few steps must also break a few minutes, people like to float up and nominal. Finally to the first families to ask a Daisow discuss saliva to drink, do not like is the line put it into a long wave of Hou's wife. He went home, drank two cups of herbal tea before, but also breath under irrigation bottles of mineral water ice, Fang had calmed down. Then await a long-wave stresses occurred in yesterday's story.
The day before I came, there are five people from Zhejiang Pei stone over, the way of heat stroke, one froth at the mouth, on the spot halo that help a people the wrong way because of the halo into a pool of dirty water side of the villagers after the event saved. Hou long-wave couples can not help but have mixed feelings, be properly running out to by this sub-crimes, but also almost to life catch, is not worth. Speaking after a few years ago at the Bluestone Road stumble this to death of a person, then I found out it was the famous line, "farmer." The husband and wife also took me to eat a few slices of watermelon, a man that I go out and pay attention to.
To be enough to break after the sun is also a smaller point, they walk out, Lu-yu two guides Wushan to bring guests bluestone to play, in which guests are ready to develop a walking tour of the female boss of the Three Gorges, I heard that I accompany stone over, with great interest, and to show me her beautiful blueprint for the development, though I do not think this is any good Dongdong, but also had to encourage her, a gentleman sticking point.
Down to the Yangtze River, the other side is the Goddess Peak, past the other side of the vessel close to the beauty of winding up, seen from afar as the same as not moving. Occasionally in the past 12 major tourist ship, persons on board pro come Ji Qu, competing to see the goddess style. But I have no right and down around the left to see which is the goddess, and later greeting a long-wave, but also did not say what was going on, it seems fate is not completely with the goddess. Left to go is the goddess Creek, a simple road Yanxi the line, blue-green waters of the deep canyon flowing in silence, there are some mystery. Want to come to the end of the river ( "OK to water the poor at" It's always a dream of each monk), but unfortunately the weather getting late, along the road back.
Hou long bath when I discovered that the water wave of home pick up from the goddess of the river, I felt such a vat of water washing it is a sin. However, long-wave Hou very calm, he said that the above peak is taking the following carry water, a half-hour trip I'm afraid. After that I could not even drink very guilty. Dinner Hexi Fan, eating bacon, Mengchi a number of large bowl. Because no electricity can only sleep outside, the face of Goddess Peak, and accompanied by a pillow Jiang Tao, eager to Gaotang goddess riding a dream come. While romantic romantic, that is, too many mosquitoes at night, slept well.
July 12 morning, after breakfast, paid 30 yuan for meals and accommodation (usually 20 yuan, but the people on Hello, how can you counter-offer the nerve) to go in time to accompany 10:00 from Wushan stone bound for the ship, There are separate from the Padang 11:00 Wushan bound of a larger boat, to Wushan about the same time. From the River ferry to the Green Cave signal station before boarding. But then came yesterday's guides, special passion, and later-to-know is to pull my swim Small Three Gorges. Boat out of 12 peaks, fast near Wushan, the two sides along the trail straight Keren, but unfortunately no chance to step on one foot, they would sink into the river bottom. Over Wushan Bridge, steep river width, Daning and Yangtze River Interchange, row upon row of tall buildings, glass wall to reflect the city's light - Wushan up. Looking at Wushan faction floor walls, filled with all the tourists going to the shore alone specific disturbed and other complex emotions.
Qingshi to the male tour guide has been following me, saying give me find hotels, as tour guides. So I agreed to look at other people down is also authentic. Live in Wushan County, guest houses, three human-free TV, there is the bathroom hot water 30 yuan (guides come out paid 25 yuan), and bought a small travel tomorrow, the Three Gorges joint ticket 135 (including ferry tickets guides, etc.) (100 Small Three Gorges yuan) (described in tourist guides may be from royalty, so they are very enthusiastic. Anyway, you have to pay, it is better to be a human).
It was early, starting from the county move along the path up the hill behind the old town, as if the old one into a movie - built on the steep slopes of a small bungalow and fluttering of the old trees, narrow alley, plate to plate to go brick path, comfortable and calm people.
Metro is the other faction world, impetuous fierce, spacious and tidy style far more complex than a small town, but it is also good. For the other way down the mountain, the results get lost, and lost on the fans it, in the interest of the true state of mind on the road.
Night, found a small restaurant next to a point of eating steamed, 10 dollars plus a bottle of beer when the real estate.
Maner are words or Chongqing, Hubei, then, when I listen to are similar, with the words of a tune Jiujiang in Jiangxi tune. But then, through the Department of Chinese receive adequate guidance, I am afraid that they are taken from the Yangtze River Mandarin reasons.
Roommate of the young man is running to sell, the very young, but spend all day hanging reveals a clever and lovely. He is a Wanzhou people, I recommend strongly to Wuxi, sent me a little soap.
Tour guide put me up the next morning (which is also looking for the benefits of tour guides), ate breakfast, after hundreds of stairs to the next pier, a boat slip and a small difference to the Three Gorges Little Three Gorges. We are on board a pair of Dutch couple, and another group of College of Foreign Languages Department of Xiaogan little sister and their teachers in Singapore. Wanted their own good and bad is a graduate student, you can make good chat with the foreigners can be a really try to know their own rookie, much less blatantly female photographers who came calmly ease, her voice is not authentic, but she would say she can be expressed in the book to use when Fanghen Shao.
Small Three Gorges, and did not imagine a beautiful, deep impression is Ziyang Ma Bridge and return to the mountain and the town of Gap in Ssangyong. Noon, Small Three Gorges ship to the end of the left along the Daning can reach Wuxi, Dachang town, turn right then cross the river into the Little Three Gorges along the Ma.
Little Three Gorges trip is definitely the most beautiful piece of music. Boat tracker boat against the current while pulling on the clear river bottom, water depths of the Bi-pass jade. Towering canyon sides, leaving only a small piece of the sky, Jiazhi on both sides of the thick old trees and vines, from time to time springs from the head drops Xi Li, in the limestone on the painting with colored limestone. This is the only thing I've seen the scenery is not an exaggeration. Only in September next year, all this will give way to rolling yellow water.
When down by sub-skin raft drifting, 30 yuan / person. To wear a lifejacket to swim in the Little Three Gorges Project is definitely a first-class enjoyment, like floating in the dream, I do not know that this body is the passenger and Jin Xi He Xi.
Xiaogan College Chen sister pure passion, the way peers, talk to a very pleasant boat to Wushan, waved goodbye to them, and set foot on hundreds of stairs and went back to county hostels. The roommate is a student of Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, using idle before graduation look at a the Three Gorges.
At night down to the Pier (Pier impression is quite a mixed bag in places, but I always go at night, seems to have nothing to do, perhaps this is only the poorest of happiness), looking for a good 8 at 7:30 tomorrow morning, bound for pier Fengjie classes boat. Quayside there is a shop called the Ranger chicken feathers hotel, where it is self-evident tour's destination.
7:00 am July 14 on board the liner Fengjie Wushan bound. Most of the locals on board, only one old chap holding a thick layer of self-help travel Gonglue to inquire about what the next person. Often billed as Yi Qiao, yesterday, and the old chap, is not with the swim. Found a space and then to catch him even more surprising is that he is the one who nearly died of thirst in the slate, Zhejiang brother, the world's surprising small. He was the event planner, a crowd after the split, and he is the only one to continue to work, to DCH visited the town of Wuxi and Wuxi salt, bring back a small bottle of saline, and then drifted down along the way horses to cross the river to the Wushan - is a heroes.
Ship to the River, we invite the signal across the boatman leaning audience, from here on foot Qutang. Because of the lessons of bluestone, and we go very slow, did not dare to drink plenty of water, the result is more tired. Sun shining white of the poison, I feel some of the first halo, the immediate road are also some shaking, and quickly find a cool place Xiexia Lai. To climb up a long time before forcing their hurry, try not to look at the foot, I do not want to be buried in this little life in the river raging billows.
Water is drunk, and then fill our minds with only the word spring. With a passion for the water is run into a big ditch yearning face, screamed "gangou child" three characters, extremely depressed. To ditch as much as a stone pool, flooded with water, very muddy, just-jumped out of the pool bubble a fierce pass. Reluctantly get up, head still in Akira, but the distance has seen Baidicheng the richly ornamented, revive flagging spirits.
Within a short while, we have to stand under the wind box Gap several characters. Yang neck ache, but also did not find a coffin. Opposite Feng Yuxiang's "step-Kui Wu" and Sun Yuan-liang's "Kuimen world-hung, marine engineering gently off" vivid.
Thirsty a lot and continued on our way to a bunker, a few Hong Qing-chi. Drank a pass, and then filling the pot.
After a bellows Gap, risky locations do not have to look at, after all finishing off Plank Road, Yimapingchuan.
A fort had red, very carefully, it is said online ticket inspections at security Hunguo. Brother who go to the toilet, I go first step, the walk is to be separated by death Who knows - we got separated. (If you see the article by the Brother please contact me).
Guo Thatched Cottage River, out of Baidicheng, take Pakistan to Fengjie County (3 million).
Fengjie is my favorite Xiajiang in a county. Ancient Street alleys, leisurely, there is no sense in other parts of the rapid demolition. No matter how polite and thoughtful calm like family restaurants. Ate lunch out "in accordance with Doumen," Ben Pier away. "In accordance Doumen" is the ancient city gate, named after Du Fu's "each according to Wang Jing Hua Dipper," which is also the most interesting places Fengjie - Doumen a slide out in accordance with the steps of hundreds of steep grade straight bar riverside terminal, steps on both sides of filled with hot snacks, as well as music, cafes, colors vendors, tiny place, his best maneuvers ups and trend.
Bought a 5:30 Fengjie - Yichang tickets (third-class 91 yuan, Xia Shuichuan your point). Dusk over Wushan boat to Padang, had already Wanjiadenghuo. I lean on the bow, when the cold wind Jiang hot, and I feel abnormal calm.
Guo Xiling Gorge boat asleep in the morning 5:30 Yichang dock. Sleep on board more than 6:00 (on board will allow you to Shuidaotianliang) after landing.
At the Yichang has been hot to death, and hurried to catch up with 7:30 to Wuhan, Iveco (76 million), 4 hours later to the Wuchang Fujia Po station, hot, intolerable, and then multiplied by Iveco to Jiujiang (56 million), Jiujiang and then to Nam Cheong is 6:00 p.m. and more body remaining 10 yuan. Go back to school to sleep bath.
