November, Shanghai, autumn and winter unless more like a lover like clinging, grow hotter and cooler temperatures in the two seasons overlapping confuse the senses. Nevertheless, a blue autumn clothing despair, after all, the long journey, and go to a solar cycle. Three days ago, south of the cold north wind swept over the La, from the autumn release of the fingers and hand clearance gap Chung Guo, declaring a kind of new order's sovereignty.
The time to Guilin, has quite Kuafu daily taste of autumn is to go south, we like chasing comet tail to actively look for her rock star trajectory. From the Boeing 767 looked out the plane window is a gray Margaret's day, 16:30, daytime and night will be prevented from disappearing, the airport lights on the little glimmer Liao, if the stars in this black and white world, no bright Village alone watch. Glass will be a thorough machine outside the cold with the warmth of the machine cut off to open, like Farewell to the winter but unfortunately sent.
Aircraft line the runway, still a few minutes, suddenly burst motors roaring, steel body within a short period of acceleration, suddenly rushed out of the fetters of the earth at high altitude, only an instant, the underside of the landscape has been thrown away, up and down about a chaotic If intractable fog surrounded us. Another moment, the aircraft jumped to the flight height, eyes will suddenly open up. Bird's eye view beneath the clouds, layer upon layer if the Tao from a long line at an empty diffuse extension, passing our belly Youxiang another infinite away. BAI Liang between the mysterious cloud of blue, like the brush outline the contours of each cloud plume. Sunset with a sigh at the right side of a string nobody left lapel crimson robes of the towed and if the fire burning meteor, the center can not look directly at Yao Yan, but the embers burned with speckled antecedents. This way, the firmament want to cover Wan-sheng, a sea of clouds from Chung Roughs are two spectacular start and end of thought and sight.
Gradually, the night from behind and to the pursuit, a slow but persistent pace of heaven and earth to swallow. Mo Yang afterglow extinguished, and the sea of clouds late wave of interest, and any darkness brought a sleeping quilt concealed everything. Aircraft 1200 kmh speed forward, but no match for the final night of her tiny nothing can not be very high. Soon, we are in a strong Ukrainian covertly flying, and look down to see the city lights (I do not know where), too far, like in an endless black marble mirror Kuikan Milky Way, from the core of the thick swing out farther up the more rare not see.
There are more than a half-hour away from Guilin voyage, suddenly tired of people in aircraft, the aircraft in the early evening foot chase inside the line, carrying our expectation and joy once a year, dug shrouded in black, toward hope.
Time, minutes and seconds, such as passed away, unconsciously, the aircraft had been on the decline, after slowing down firmly several times stopped at the Guilin airport, two rivers. Stepped out of the airport door to feel a little more cold, but better than Shanghai ci, and a lot. Transfer to the hotel, used admitted after having dinner, room 408. Has been to nine o'clock, like a pilgrimage for believers bath, slip asleep early, presumably sleepiness will send me a night of sweet dreams bar.
2 morning, the twisting and lifted the veil of Guilin, days, micro-light, the glow of the eastern girls like makeup touch of red-lipped smile Yingying. Tired after yesterday's journey I have been an adequate night's sleep spirit.
9:00 sharp, the car went to Lijiang River, about 50 minutes after the switch to reach the grinding-pan Hill Wharf boat "Shun Fat 01." Very sunny days, leisurely cloudless blue sky, the river wanders the dark blue sky was deeper and more charming Che, Jiang Shi grass is clearly visible at the end, with the Green Wave Zen Innocent Steps, if quietly, such as dance.
Ship starting, and in the front deck, the cold river wind chill Pumian pressing slightly a breath there immersed in the water wizard Xinyi Jiao Ren Qi Shuang Heart and limb bones of the body, as if the gateway to the completion of a Taoist. Before the boat open water, and ripple like a peacock screen show the fan-shaped side edge of a character asks build two jade trim. Han Yu once sighed: "Jiang Zuo-Qing Luo belt, mountain, such as Jade Hairpin." We will be along the trajectory of this cis-searching poetry rhyme Lijiang River water away.
Amid the meandering mountainous sides of Castle Peak, after another curved scenic Lijiang River 83 km from Yu Guilin, Yangshuo, finally, along the peaks of the Lin-Song left the United States is not income. Guilin has a unique mountain is not high winds caused a distance, mountain-arm attached to Yamagata Accompanied, especially in front, as if a giant bustling Green Jackets overlay. Casting an eye on water, endless days of sight there is no end of mountains. Undulating ridge was a beautiful arc, such as water waves echoed with the solidification of the stone into the waves wash away from the most distant from, to the shore again rolling, however, only the SPP, such as cutting Doudichuiluo, ancient rocks from the green cover brown , exposed the bleak beauty. The junction of the river and the cliff, or Shi Shi Yan Ran out of a sand beach, beach Bambusa Multiplex whirling forest, swaying in the wind leaves moving clouds made health-tzu; or Youde to the concave inside, some of interlocking ribs and some grub unexpected.
The red in late autumn can be seen from time to time the shore like Begonia drop of blood, in a different kind of greenery interspersed among bright. Barry Barry Gallery is indeed the name, such as Lijiang in fact, from the mountains to the bat Qun long playing in the water, from Amah Rock to kwan'am You Dong, from the Yang Di Bamboo Stone Rain in the waves, strange legend will be driving his or her colorful colorful reverie Aoyama Greentree rocks Qidong 11 Lou into a picture with a thousand years of silence to hold under heaven praise.
12:30, I come back to the cabin sat down near the ship stir, listening to the introduction-to-know guide to the Lijiang River's most famous "nine horse painting mountains," You Shou busy probe looked out the window and saw the opposite cliff on a white horse forepaw Pentium seems to break down the stone out, and then micro-, was originally the mountains and trees to freehand broad-brush in the natural into a giant canvas painted too, this piece under the pioneer horse, another a few Kap Shui herbivorous pacing colt neighing horses of various shapes are almost the real thing, can not Jiaoren Creative design of the magic of this ghost ax amazement. Just a few minutes, initially you see is what, in those who see the mountain is not the mountain, again to see the same mountains, as if Yunzhao profound philosophical Zen. Ship goes on, after a painting mountains, right at par with the reflection of yellow cloth. Just the sun, the river as a mirror, a gorgeous brown marbled rock, if yellow silk, hanging into the water attached reflection, is like a ripple-opening Can-10000 Chrysanthemum blooming, the boat in the mountains by wind waves between chrysanthemum and artless. Before and after the two magnificent scenery, charming and pushed all the way to Lijiang to climax.
Lunch at the cabin, the Yuxia Xie Li River snails delicious specialty. The remaining one-hour flight there and end is the Yangshuo town, Jiang Liu rolling awakens long, a folk song to weigh hover around the ears, I really Yan? Magic Yan? Lean on fishing boat looking at the scenery actually fall asleep.
2:40, the ship dock, landing Review inexplicable but feel the slightest regret, what is it? Suddenly, "land so Jiao, made countless heroes Jingzhe Yao" in the words penetrate into coming back inside me, yes, Yanhuang blood, China root, innocent heart, with a total landscape is difficult but passionate. History of The Merry inevitably rain blew down the mountain and the constant flow of water was still unable to conquer will not erase permanent. Yes, this lack of water Xiushan Ling hundred miles is inscribed scroll, is a wonderful eye-dotting pen summarized the essence of the text can be condensed passionate people. To write, when the Weibei pen ─ ─ "Splendid China"!
3 memory is the initial impression of Guilin Elephant Trunk Hill, as a symbol of Guilin, it is logical essence become our next tour's first stop in the city.
Entered into the Xiangshan Park, not far from Nazhi behemoths will be into the eyes, which wore green silk vigil River, facing the Lijiang River water stretching from the end of proboscis. At first glance the picture already familiar with the site, under both intimate and strange. Quickstep erected across the three artificial islands, Taohuajiang at this intersection with the Lijiang River, water flow Tuan Tuan merged into the trunk, under a share, a little child playing a roll slowly away. According to legend, the Jade Emperor's crown as the mountain was originally due to Fall in love with this mortal life was stabbed to death with a sword in the Li River King of the embodiment is made if the hilt as the ridge of a pyramid, tower Huanzuo hilt. Walk along the beach as far as can be, as in previous legs, large and small beach stones, such as snail shell together accompanied by its loneliness.
Human earth, and heaven is relatively distant from the oldest to ever, ordinary and Yan Wei, freedom and destruction, Red Dust has allowed it the reincarnation of hill overlooking the river animal that millennium was a tragedy all judged by posterity. Tourists on the opposite side by mountains pictures of, but I sat alone by virtue Beach Side River sigh, lost time is never quiet those silent, trance-off between the Lijiang River water Yiyi and take away the silence, took the vicissitudes of life without any regrets taking a fatalistic .
Xiangshan is the undercurrent eddy not far from the wave of mountains, Piedmont there is a small triangular piece Chau, Lijiang River flows into the foot of the mountain ray Juan Meeting for Bitan, wave-interest into the pool reflected upside-Hill Qingqing posture. As the saying goes, "should also be suspected of being Red Dust Huan before they undercurrent eddy flow near the Mountain Gate", "undercurrent eddy waves" hence the name. To do more than 60 meters high mountain, overlooking climbed peak below the river gurgling in the dark green like a green unadorned Miantong Jing to the both sides of the stretch, mirror on the along the middle of a block triangular jade inlaid even more luxurious. We can imagine a day, mountain Lintan wash-suk of the shadow of this suave attire only God-jun. Body of water, such as non-slip pattern Yuji, and Lin Lin Lau Kong contrasts. Here, Ma Yuan had been stationed in the armored force, have left Kong Si Zhen's father read the situation, there had been a stone statue of the Tang Dynasty Song Dynasty Buddhist carvings, beads also have been circulating juvenile story. Who Fubo? Is the famous or Qing Han Princess? Is a mountain or a river at the end of terra-Dragon? Confusion down the walk, the mystery of matter is still unknown solution.
4 Guilin are Kasi Ke land type, that is often said of the lava landscape. Must be called a cave in Guilin, particularly among the most important are the world-famous Reed Flute Cave.
Into the cave feel a dazzling, five color lamp rocks like a fairyland full of holes. Difficult to get inside the cave, sunlight, all from the lighting, so, in the dark background, the ice-fluorescent stalactites and strange things it exact form a group sculpture exhibition. Deposition of millions of years all imagine the shape through the limestone recorded in this art gallery. Miss listening to tour guides introduce the way, let us cross the line Take a look at this piece of fantasy forest, a group of lions in this play, he one Aviary contend, where fruit fills the warehouses, there herbal fragrance and fat snowman, the man mane yij riding turtle monkey monkey mirror the centipede, mountain huts, submarine underwater, crystal chandeliers, bamboo reed flute ... wow ... are all life-like people. Light or red or green, such as hidden like Ning Xia-yu, or yellow if the amber or white for Frost, streamer winding coupled with rocks exquisite color adds a little more mysterious.
However, in this fictional world, the pattern is stationary, and thus contaminated by confining the idea, only with the eyes of their predecessors has no reserve to accept another eyeful eyeful Hinch empty. Fortunately, then go Qixingyan up for this deficiency.
Same caves, such as Reed Flute Cave Seven Star Crags though not beautiful, but a larger and deeper. A person walking, there is no commentary without the guidance of fluorescent lamps in decorative color, leaving only the most thorough to himself, term reverie random structure. Holes, but also quiet and dark footsteps seem to like light, as if stepping on ancient echoes. Corners of the peripheral vision, the statue towering feeding machine want to hide in the shadows move. Lead the way little flashing lights dim dim, to invest in Liangbi ghost Tong Tong, and my shadow is also OK in the meantime. Gradual, with a person's heart to imagine the depths of the most primitive fears of hair spread out, pregnant with such feelings, the holes of the rocks they are just like wild beasts, like demons, like Wuhan, without exception, hideous together.
While snicker his cowardice, while also Fuxiang repeatedly, Reed Flute Cave and Seven Star Crags, the same caves, bright matt, there are unaccompanied with surprise, would be completely different to differences in the. Human beings from the cave, so it Huaizhuo respect since ancient times fear and longing. In Qixingyan darkness, there is a desire for a bright and pursuit of love, and in the Reed Flute Cave of the noise, then filled with the cry for the freedom of independence, the long history of civilization, the two are indispensable. Finally, came two caves, as if passed at both ends of negation of negation of truth, to never reach a balance point closer to go.
Seven Star Crags, is there a screen Marbles, named "light", five thousand years of Chinese civilization in the artist's clever mind concentrated on these arrangements. In those abstract patterns and symbols, I saw Dujiangyan, Shi Huang Mausoleum, stone arch bridge, King-ting, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Beaulieu-chu, Yi shot after day, flying fairies, spirits of the four five animals, the Book of Changes gossip, acupuncture A ancient sword coins star map, and so on and so forth. For a time, and many of wisdom come to me I am breathing pressure. According to test, Guilin was founded in the Han Yuanding 6 years (111 BC), the year 2110 exactly is her birthday. Thousand years of history turned into a big "person" the word pressure lingering in my mind. United States and the most beautiful water, beautiful mountains, from Guilin, a little radiation to the 9.6 million square kilometers of the surface. No wonder the Lijiang River flows continuously, like the death of God No regrets. Suddenly remembered Fubo have seen people take the cold lake swim, then "who Fubo" doubts Dayton solution. Hardworking and intelligent people than the landscape on how brave? Than heaven and earth How do I?
Yesterday on the Lijiang River in order to "Splendid China" as a lament that today's tour ended, another praise on a "people-chi lofty." This time I swim four words to describe this feeling is indeed a perfect match, absolutely!
... November 1999 Guilin day tour
