November 2001 Travels:
Guilin is a small city, from where I lived walking Shan hotels to the most prosperous commercial street, but more than half an hour, but by the local people's mouth becomes a "walking street? Pretty far Yeah, walk to almost half an hour yet. "or" Do not look Shan Hotel is a four-star, here is the suburban呀. " Walk half an hour to complete the distance in the suburbs to the city center? I faint!
But perhaps precisely because of the small, the city also are both beautiful, through the urban area to which the winding green water is that the people commonly known as "Little Li River," Jiang Jingxiu Lai, Cheung Pei Shan is located thereon on the mountain green and clear water, between a cool breeze, boats sailing in this truly delightful and pleasant, while the scenery at night is even more distinctive flavor.
Although the Li River side of the pier everywhere, "For your safety, please do not take the visitors rafts" and signs, but when I see the river with Zhu Li, is to hang a long pole of the boatman; still squat corner of the contraction the long neck of the cormorant, who can hold back mind the idea that it always itchy? Moreover, the water so calm, even the breeze is quiet, the boatman of the water was so good, what is dangerous? We must take a bamboo raft, Li River night!
Walked down the pier, there boatman to say hello, a young woman holding us, not even that beautiful night, everyone as long as 20. We feel that expensive, she refused to drop, is walking a counter next to the old lady came and generously said the 10 dollars just for the young woman angrily, and a string of Guilin, then take out, grudges, pry the old lady Her business, the old lady in a more angry tone without any sign of weakness to Haizui until we on the bamboo raft, and a women to leave unhappy people.
Old lady short while Heishou, very tough, and plates of "Baba bun", wearing a large cloth vest Saika, bamboo raft in the river to the road without disease without Xu, Wei Liang a sense to be transparent water vapor and their own breathing , forward-looking, is a large body of Cheung Pei Shan, it seems a long proboscis at your fingertips; looking back, is the liberation of bright lights bridges and a river full of the relaxed and Star, bridge opening, and both sides of the perforation on the clever ingenuity of the lighting, the waves of the water waves mapped to the bridge body, Yuan Wang go, went so far as not tell is that the flow is light, a shadow, or water, ... ... "Oh God in the mist of the clouds cents, Shenzi cents state Guilin mountains; love, like a dream and deep as呀the United States, such as the Lijiang River water in a dream situation ... ... "This verse actually comes just right
Bamboo raft suddenly turned around a body, the old lady asked us: "a close look at喽, cormorants to catch fish has."
Article 5 makes up the face of the bamboo raft, narrow, only tolerant of those agile boatman. Bow lug large gas lamp, cormorant from the boatman's hands jumped River, but 23 minutes went straight up to the surface, I craned, its curved to see whether there is any fish's mouth. Boatman is not anxious children only then after a while cormorants fish basket pulled the stern side, pulling a fresh from the mouth of the big fish. 2 Cormorant so back and forth several times, relying on his memory of primary school textbooks, I think they are two small fish boatman would reward incentives, can be designated until the boats had not gone to see the poor who eat fish cormorant
Punting kindly reminded of the old lady: "Cormorant mouth of the fish is not tasty, there is a fishy taste, or call the river to eat the fish." It's strange, then why use cormorants to catch fish? Zhexia Ke opened the casket story, the old lady began to talk in the Cormorant: "We say that cormorant eyes Liangliang, it will look at treasures. It is like watching clown, dead things which are not reasonable grounds, we ------ eyes are matched by foreigners, but not the same, the eyes of foreigners also will look at the clown. then foreign devils to Guilin, that the city's mountains, rivers, was very happy to have our clown sneaking a yo. foreigners, like the eyes and cormorants, are dazzling; foreigner's nose and mouth like the cormorant, are winding. They took a lot of baby Yeah, the past, we called the foreigners are 'foreign devils ', now out of fashion in this, and I have to call an old woman foreigners' Harrow' of ... ... "thought in Yangshuo, a foreigner is an appearance one after another of the" Hello "sound, the original of a hawker's mouth was that the" foreign devils " mean, I not only Juedao Seeing us laugh, a little embarrassed, but also explains: "This is from my grandfather there to listen to Luo, the words passed down from generation to generation." further inquiries, knowing she was actually 68 years old there is a 92-year-old mother
Bamboo raft shook, but also stays back to the terminal, the young woman is still greet visitors. Perhaps business is bad, her grievances to re-scattered in the old lady who, both of them enjoying themselves with heated debate
