Lawn June 11 - half of the ferry - Yang Di - Wave Rock - Art Hill - cold wave - North Korea Itayama - xingping
6:00 Multi-woke up, today's journey a little catch up, the sooner the better Jiang went to cold crossed. Re-assembled, after two days on foot, the load backpack some relief, but the feet blisters worsened after the start where the shoulder backpack Crimping hair skin rash, and arms and legs are red and are tan to draw a Luancao Road hole in the body condition is poor. We enjoy the nature at the same time, but also to pay at the cost of physical psychological, it is perhaps inevitable grinding donkey pulling experience.
The vicinity of the morning mist shrouded the kwan'am Zuozuo peaks, the world is a drizzle, in the town crossing the lawn to eat a bowl of rice would go visit the town's ferry went. A couple of rafts floating in the river, to 5 yuan before they agree to the river, here is the tourist area is very commercialized. Motor boat still do not know how long it should come very close under the rain started, and was a little anxious, finally agreed to 4 yuan Qian Haoshuidaishuo crossing my past.
Crossing the river is a village trail is very muddy due to rain, there have been a child carrying a school bag through it, is the time for school. Go to half of the crossing from the village out of the walking paths along the river side, you can also take the hillside road, road near some. Onto the ridge, engaged in a vast rice fields of central, rain and fog in the dazzling peaks look around and see the beautiful mountains of Lijiang.
Lijiang River in the former for the right of the corner, across this piece of the fields is tantamount to taking a short cut back to Riverside, slippery hillside at the foot of the trail had been walking, come to an end that is half of the ferry crossing. The bamboo raft just ferry over, to stretch the rafts are more than 20-year-old young man, so to chat with, a question of age, there are only 17 years old, this time I think Zoule Yan, ferry charges 3 yuan seems to over-collected points.
Half of the crossing means that the cliffs along the Lijiang River in the same direction under the ferry to the front, crossing the great stone steps are smooth, climbing shoes are most afraid of is this, it is easy to skid. Go up when the system because there is no well backpack belt, fell in the rafts, but fortunately did not fall into the river, the shoes and no water. (Later, in Yangshuo Yulong River rafting, the bamboo raft Fandiao, some people are falling into the river, nearly drowned.)
Landing is a village along the ridge to continue to move forward to the Yang Di, the rain increasing, climbing shoes began to water. Tanabe are the hope of an enterprise contributions to elementary school reading Lang Lang came the sound of a language lesson / math class, teacher very seriously, there are several deserted grimaced at me. I was a kid is so? I can not remember, the days of filling the memory traces of light.
Gradually the rain stopped, and along the river side of the road on the last ridge straight (gravel dirt road), rice noodles for breakfast has been depleted to add strength to eat solid food. Along the mountain road up to the Lijiang River Edge surprisingly large block of rock through the Zao Kong. Then came the surface of river cruise and saw me standing rock edge, a lot of people on board waved and immediately remove the life-saving post response to a previous one after the cruise there were over a dozen.
Ship soon disappeared behind the hills in the Lijiang River, it is fortunate that his choice this way on foot, in addition to have the freedom to enjoy the Lijiang River scenery, you can also understand the local people's lives. There are more than 1 km away from the Yang Di, followed by someone holding the child hurry hurry, one asked the child had fever to the Yang Di of the doctor, so follow the forward rush.
Yang Di is a small town, in a street shop to buy down the rest of the point of frozen drinks. Wash the face, then took off his socks to dry for a while, lying on a bamboo chair is very comfortable. Has been more than 11 o'clock the shopkeeper said, but also rushed to xingping 6 hours before dark to go to, I have heard safer. But the blisters on her feet is a problem, buy a point of Band-Aid put on the starting bar.
Ferry boats and other machines come pretty soon to make money, crossing half the distance to see the dark clouds gradually suppressed over. Boatman (possibly dumb) with me energetically make a gesture that was going to rain, and I did not take too much notice, or the sun in the sky overhead. Just on the ferry, on overcast days down, falling rain followed immediately replaced Jackets, wear a backpack rain cover.
Stone in the heavy rain to the waves hurry, but fortunately, there is no lightning thunder, or rain should be Duo Duo. Hiking shoes completely wet, and walking when Akira Akira fooled. In terms of heavy rain shrouded ridge of natural scenery, beautiful ah. Waves into the Ishimura, the rain was nearly stopped. Inquiries in the village to the road crossing, was a group of teenagers pull it hard, it could be bamboo raft crossing my past, or send me to draw mountains. Crossing the river should be closed 5 yuan, then said a Chase reason, I hesitated a moment was finally agreed. (Pay chopped, and the next who is going to do not to cross the river here.)
Just on a bamboo raft, then torrential rain poured down rain pattering on the river surface splashing 10 million drops. Squatting on a bamboo raft drops suddenly discovered a very bright very special, splashes on the water after rolling around, and then dissolve in the water. Unexpectedly heavy rains in the bamboo raft across the river became my close to Lijiang River of the most unique experience.
Crossing the river after the rain has stopped, in the crossing Andi twist on the take off your shoes to dry socks, and then along the mountain foot of the trail ahead. In front of the village ask for directions, they asked me how to cross the river, and tips I ferry should be here, otherwise unsafe. To the other side looking in the past to understand the wave should be a walk in the end there are crossing Ishimura, pay slashed, but fortunately, heavy rain across the river just feel good.
The next trip was like sitting in the ink landscape painting, is said to be the most beautiful section of the Li River scenery. But felt very strange that he did not hint of excitement. 3 consecutive days on foot body is already very tired, his eyes have got used to this green mountains and rivers. Filled blisters on the feet, wearing a soaking shoes, every step felt very uncomfortable, and my heart is only one idea; quickly rushed to the painting mountains.
Is said to be foreigners along the left mark the way forward, walking on a small ridge road, walking on the shore grass, the occasional pink wildflowers to see Ji Duo. After a waterfall, he again put to rest the water twist socks dry. Valley after the rain water potential was impatient and can often be heard buzzing sound of running water. After a large stone marked a small ditch, because the water can not be almost anxious.
From painting mountains getting closer, suddenly there is this avenue of river blocking. Storm surge to the river, water flow are also extremely anxious, how should I do? Up around the river a long way to go, bamboo rafts to ferry about 20 yuan income really black heart! 're Wondering when the old man wading across a bit over, and depth to his buttocks, decided to risk crossing a river. Immediately re-packaged and put on sandals, took off his pants, things do not all fit in the bag, with a good set of rain cover. Please help the old man pointed out that the river's line, insisted on a bamboo pole to go on. Water impatient and hard to stand firm, deep into my buttocks, so as not to rely on bamboo insisted on being washed away, old man constantly reminded me, and slowly walked to the ramp below the downstream, and finally reaching the other side. (Later to think this is very risky to cross the river, if not the old man first to cross the river, there is no bamboo poles, a person really do not know what would happen? Have experience the power of the flood.)
With the old man waved thanks to re-wear hiking shoes, to continue to draw mountains hurry to get somewhere. It is clear markers along the way I feel take a long time. Cold mountain crossing into the painting when there are only motor boats weigh anchor just offshore, so cry washed the past. How boat stop, and regardless of the jump up to the bow of the ship, a question is not a ferry, the tourists from Yangshuo to charter boat to go back to xingping can only jump down, waving good-bye to them.
And so on across the ferries came, after crossing the river has finally set a lot of heart, will certainly arrive before dark xingping's. Look at the ferry to rest, by the way the shoes Nongnong dry. Finish the last bit of mineral water (daily consumption of at least 4 bottles of mineral water), remove the old newspapers to drain the water shoes and put on a pair of dry socks, foot comfort a lot.
The rain stopped, in the twilight toward xingping mood a lot easier, gently puts on my favorite song, "30,000 feet":
Climb into the back of my
Flying out of the city slowly blurred my sight reminded me of living breathing proof of
Aircraft are resisting the Earth I was against you
Close to 30,000 feet away from the ground quick thoughts to the sticky distance of the body's gravitational constant is also pulling down tear drop
30,000 feet of you and I run away hiding in the clouds at the end of each turn through the turbulence of the raid tightly leaning back on the I
Thought it would also pro-you in my arms
Finally burst into song singing Dikeniuzi, half the journey, I know that this walk will succeed. To farmers in the fields looked at me very strange, mischievous way home from school pupils to sing with me ah sing. It's that North Korea panel to bypass the mountain, through the Hope Primary School towards xingping.
Went to a rock wall of the berm next to the already saw xingping, and the setting sun is also exposed a little, and quickly take pictures. Down and say hello after the encounter a foreigner then chatted a few, continue to arrive xingping, moved into an apartment of Posts and Telecommunications. Bathing, laundry, administration and blistering, to call home, eat dinner and after going to a bottle of beer watching the World Cup. Today, more than 20 kilometers away is estimated that bar.
June 12 xingping - snail Mountain - Carp Hill - Yangshuo
Slept a Lanjue, starting already sun is high. Today is the Wei period, the town house, dock on the huge crowds of people, everyone came to go to the market has. Crossing the river to continue to walk along the east coast, snail Hill has been at hand. After snail carp Hill Mountain is the mountain caves there are at the foot of a nunnery.
Did not stop, continue straight on the road less and less clear. There is the old man just cattle, a question is really no way ahead, and there is no crossing, we must crosses over. Learn Mopanshan experience, a 10 yuan a guide please the old man had no idea that there is a stone mountain roads, paths are not hard to find, but there is still the wizard a lot easier.
Hill is not high, but under the hot sun on the river, and then further turned a cove where you can see the edge of a small village in Lijiang. Down through the village and look after the break with the old man rest. Continued to edge slowly walked along the Lijiang River, but also see the cruise ships full of tourists down. Path is very clear, should always someone pass by. Heaven for the United States, suddenly overcast down, but followed by heavy rain. Having just gone too hot, not-for-Jackets, only to put on backpack rain cover. Cruise ships were all on the refuge Funakura, and I and a cattle of the old man hiding in a tree, the old man reminded me Do not lean against the tree, there is electricity, I say no thunder does not matter. If the next thunderstorm will not be able to hide the large trees ah!
Very suddenly, under a burst of heavy rain, I felt all wet down, a gust of wind blew a cold feeling. After the rain stopped, and quickly took off his T-shirt and shorts to wear twisted stem, move on to the high-Chau village is more than 13:00, and today the state is not good, moved very slowly.
Shop in the village asked for a bottle of beer, eating the right ham for lunch, and chatting up the villagers. There are 10 kilometers away on the road to Yangshuo can also ride to 3 yuan. Ride to entice my extreme fatigue, the final decision will be carried out in the end the victory, has completed the 10 kilometers. Throw away some unnecessary things, but a little bit reluctant to Dagou Bang, perhaps there is help bring bar.
There are three kilometers away from Yangshuo, the days, it began to rain, nor hid, and not afraid of climbing shoes wet, and in the rain continued to runaway with. Has finally entered the city, find the West, to find youth hostels, hiking the end!
Internet cafes at night with over a mountain breeze, coffee, Michael and other mill a friend made a message, receive a "message."
