April 24, 2002 rain in order not to late, I got up 6 points more to the downstairs, who has been waiting for the eldest sister. Days still raining, but the good news is only a drizzle. 7 o'clock in the West still in dreamland, the figure almost no tourists, only the hotels have opened the door, the rain, the air damp, and Meng Xi an, unlimited fresh. However, see the kids go to school together the scene could not help but think of his childhood, he spent a post-secondary home, farther and farther away from the school, and only in the primary school, be able to go to school together with some companions.
To Xingping ticket is 3 5 cents, the taxi companies is about one hour. In fact, the road not too far, but poor road conditions, bumps endless. Toby on my car and two people, we are also jokingly This is Shuttle. The scenery along the way is actually good, green everywhere, Xiufeng without a break. Even under the heavy rain only because the relationship between the muddy road, leading to even more bumps. When we discuss the rent a bike to ride out a bit but the premise is that it does not rain.
By xingping have been a big sister at the station waiting for us. When you get rain again Pitougainao land on the next up. Xingping is a small town, there is no Yangshuo less commercial atmosphere, can be said that a number of more ancient. In the older sister's coffee shop to see a photo on the photo at the Peak, the xingping panorama bar, very beautiful. However, we are in them, but did not find such a beauty, just because the mountains are in this bar.
Li River cruise tour is a very small ship, only to sit eight individuals, boatman also offering guided tours, but the only drawback is that boat too much noise, I sat in the last row, inaudible speech boatman. Boats that line is the direction from the xingping to the Yang Di-opened, less than Yang Di back xingping traveled about 2 hours. Beautiful and bright sides, smoke enveloped the mountains, each one is different peak shape, the rain outside the window suddenly big suddenly small, I can not help but think of "Journey to the West," where some of the scenes, naturally emerge in a silly words: This is a fairy place to live. Toby also smiled frequently nodded to me, I guess he did not understand that foreign gods would not discuss it with him is also like the office in a beautiful seclusion of this problem. For the Lijiang River's beautiful, I am unable to find the right words to describe, or please Tell me the opportunity to experience a bar.
Cruise end, it is noon, the rain is still a stubborn underground. Look at this rain, climb the old Walled mountain is nothing to be raised, with the ship's aunt suggested that we could go take a look at Takada, sitting West Street intersection to the kind of car to turn a lap only 10 yuan. We decided to bar or back to Yangshuo. Another bump for an hour, and that the road can not be quiet. Because the ticket had just risen to 3 5 Mao, a local man for the roads, but no fix, but the ticket was up, very satisfied, along the way have been complaining. Toby think that quarrels, and I said no, but complained that ticket, he has shown not understand how a big man to complain about so long, I can only road, fare, income level is not directly proportional to explain himself.
West Street intersection that vehicles be properly described as something really worthwhile. According to my observation, a bit like a motorcycle, but the next two more seats, the whole car has a roof, so that will not get wet if it rains. Toby discussed for a long time and I do not know what word to use to call it, finally, still with the vehicle instead. We asked the price, the uncle say that a person driving 10 and not a vehicle 10 do? To bargain over and over again, or unsuccessful (it is because I am less likely to bargain, and that a person is very difficult to bargain, the two were much easier), and finally, we think the price is acceptable, it was decided to come back after lunch, did not expect Uncle who had been ahead of us.
Lunch at the local shop and eat a little rice flour, 2 yuan, which has a lot of tasty things, but oh. Sister shop to see me comes with a one-time chopsticks, bamboo chopsticks to tell me that there are production of Yangshuo. Asked me how much and where to buy, I said that supermarkets in Shanghai, bought 10 pairs of money 5. She looked at that, we are here is 5 yuan 100 pairs, ladies Tell me, oh opportunities. To a friend after lunch to make a phone call, mobile phone quickly without electricity, and go West to play the mouth of the first public telephone shop. Unexpectedly, a unscrupulous business practices. And nobody answered the phone rang several more friends to eat went to the shop owner, said partial meter jump, let me give you the money. No answer how can jump, I do not understand. He convinced me to use my hands-free number redial is still no answer. He did not seem convinced resort to the time, rang a dozen times since, and finally someone to pick, but probably my friend's boss, look at her a long time and nobody answered the phone personally to pick up. That the owner on the phone to her feed the ferocious said a Chase, which means that you can hear me? You speak like呀, then the receiver to me, let me say that call. Where do I dare to facing the phone said, go to my friend ah, this is not to give her trouble do? Quickly hung up, then let her boss thought it was a nuisance calls it, gave the money go, I will no patron.
The afternoon on the road all the way to go Takada rain, but fortunately we are able to drill in the car where the roof. Watching tourists dressed in raincoats humiliating Jizhao Ju, our hearts Qiexi. In Yangshuo, I think the relationship between tourists and visitors, very friendly, people did not know each other, but can be very cordial greetings, which in the streets of Shanghai, I was never into account can not do, otherwise people would be mistaken for animal in nature, or the head is filled with the category. We have Thus, along with the cycling tourists hi, hi the wave, they waved to us, so I feel very warm.
The first is the passing Butterfly Spring, a new man-made landscape, where the original was a shooting range, apparently, Toby is more interested on the shooting range, he told me that in China, around a small country, specifically what I do not understand, a few 10 dollars you can throw a real grenade, a rocket capable of launching one hundred dollars, he wanted to try. It sounds just crazy, but I find it interesting. I am with my high school shooting, he said the story that I did not wear glasses, I did not target on a hole, but next to the target students in the School there are three holes, he still say that the extra hole that I dry, Ha ha!
The second attraction is the big banyan, and now Circuit has become a park, ticket 18. We all feel that the former spend 18 to see a tree is not worth driving uncle said that if the ride bamboo rafts, then you can clearly see that the tree is not recommended entered.
The third attraction is the attraction in fact can not be called, that is, overlooking the Mountains of the Moon. Car along a specific channel to see, you can see the moon-shaped slit missing (tentatively so many titles) gradually become larger, and vice versa slowly getting smaller, as is the phases of the moon.
The fourth spots are Buddha Rock, a natural, almost no lights decorated caves. To the later, we know that foreigners are particularly fond of the mud bath was here that the wash. There are two ticket revenue laws, half (that is, do not wash mud bath) is a 60-stop (of course, wash mud bath) is 120. After discussion, we decided not to wash the mud bath, and the one not prepared in advance, and secondly, if the dirty clothes, and go back and get changed no. Bought the tickets, wear helmets and follow the guide on the hole of the. Because the holes have similar Buddha Guanyin Bodhisattva and stalactites, hence the name Buddha Rock. Hole very bad way to go, slippery, and often need to climb up, my head did not hit the rocks from time to time (also see why you have to wear helmets in order to hole). Guide us into the underground river, tells us to take off their shoes, shedding water to the front to see an underground waterfall, and she is here waiting for us. Moreover, we are honored to have been told again and again because of heavy rain, underground water soared in peacetime, not only calf deep, and now may be the knees, the water outside the pants off the previous best. Alas, this is not what we apprehended. Me and toby you look at me, and I see you, finally, I told the tour guide said that it does not matter, I'll wear jeans to go, toby also said to wear outside the pants into the water, guide it with a strange eyes looking at us as if to say, these two conservative person. Total depth of more than I expected, almost close to the buttocks, although I have to pull the legs too high, but still all wet. Several days of heavy rain, the river is very turbid, toby would frighten a snake, and made me tremble with fear. The most crucial is that both river mud, very slippery, plus I can not swim, they are always worried that they will slip (also at that time, I decided to go to learn how to swim this summer in any case). That helmet is not law-abiding in my head slide affect my line of sight. Walked away and finally saw a thin stream of water from the top down Is this the underground waterfalls, are we wet his pants, just to see it? The hearts of a great divide. Going to shore, finally relieved off his hat, take a little paper towel rub a bit at a time when Chuanxie Zi careless, I hat pushed to the river, I could only stand and watch me hat floating down the underground river float ah. Tour guide said, not far from a cave (can not remember the name) is here, the downstream one moment where the visitors will see a hat over. In this way, an innocent hat by me murdered. No hat, tour guides will be very dangerous to say out of its hole, combined with the previous I have always put their heads to the rock hit the feat, toby his hat to me, and I said no do not, but he insisted that I wear, This brings me, very impressed. Out of its hole, I was always into his head to hit the rocks (of course, I did not deliberate), which also made me very much to worry about toby, we do not slow down the tempo from the ground. Finally, we reached a new development of caves, this cave was discovered in the Western tourists. At the bottom there is a small hole, if climbed out to go crawling to the exit on the three meters, and if you do not climb, then they backtrack. Toby did not hesitate to express to climb, in fact, I was unwilling to dry, but that can not give咱the Chinese lose face, but also agreed. The hole is difficult than I imagined a lot at first can crawl and finally completely crawl forward, but also tasted the taste of hunting. Toby in the absence of helmets circumstances, quickly climbed out, but I was pinching because I do not know how to force. Of course, I have finally climbed out, the Buddha rock trip, an absolute adventure. If we go beyond words, the best dressed in long pants, put on swimming trunks. If you intend to wash the mud bath, then wear a T shirt what is on it. Out of its hole after the tour guide did not mention, the boss also did not let me lose that hat, money, and we successfully managed to escape.
The last event is very comfortable啦, sitting, bamboo rafts to see a large banyan tree, 25 dollars a person, 40 minutes. Both sides of the scenery beautiful, fly in the ointment is a river turbidity. Boatman said, here is the Huanglong, Yulong River is the Dragon, then go Yulong River tomorrow, let's see it.
