(A) Yangshuo --- Petty's paradise
April 26, 2002, at noon from the Dragon's Back back to Guilin, I and my wife, Xiao-dan, friend Chan Wing on the bus to Yangshuo from Guilin to Yangshuo by car a lot, every 15 minutes, an hour's drive Tickets 7.5 yuan / person in the car we all be properly slept, more than three in the afternoon went to the Yangshuo.
We went straight to the car last year, we stayed in youth hostels, to a triple room, 90 yuan / day, the room clean, hot and cold water, good condition.
To lay down their luggage, we went to the West on the random walk around, though the afternoon, West is still very active, we came to that house small shops selling Cangshi - le, in which I picked up a used yak bone necklace made to small Dan. Then came last year, then the "traveler" drink a glass of hot ginger tea, in the message boards, I spent a long time to find my last nail in the above card.
Stay to 6 am, we went to stand on West Street at the end of a meal, to the Lijiang River fish, Lai Po taro, snail, Chen Yung-tasted a fish after the Lijiang River, immediately said: tastes really good, Relying on this Lijiang River fish, pay a visit to Yangshuo is worth (for reasons of work, she had to go back to work, we finally could not stand the temptation, ha ha ha) ... .... Our meal of the United States and the United States, on the West Street is within walking distance on the walk, bought some random small souvenirs, they pick up a relatively large number of people to sit down bar, the atmosphere is very comfortable, very relaxed, even Chan Wing-all said: wine is no problem to point to corruption, in the end ... .... We, like many visitors playing a variety of small game to enjoy away from work, leisure, the atmosphere is a Petty leisure, because we are second visit to Yangshuo, near the attractions visited, and The purpose of this little again, pure relax comfortable he will stay only, therefore, whether in the street Xia Guang, or at the bar drinking, feeling both the United States ... .... I still believe there are a lot of people like us to Yangshuo pure corruption, a few days, do not care about the surrounding landscape, only care about the atmosphere of West Street, Yangshuo is really petty bourgeoisie's paradise. However, we must spend a few days can appreciate.
When we are asleep, and only having left the back to the hotel rest, as tomorrow's event, woke up then.
(B) the real Guilin - Yulong River woke up, it is already 9:00 or so, the days of gloomy, we are lazy to eat breakfast, had come to Yangshuo is aimed at the sun, "corruption" of several days. Because there is no sun to sun, who wanted them, "Mix" recommended Yulong River, and we discussed a bit, since this would go and see. Rent a motorcycle to the Yulong Qiao, about 30 minutes, 40 yuan, because we do not "donkey" and momentum, or car rental bar.
11 points or so, we came to the Yulong Qiao (when the movie "Liu San Jie" The first shot is a shot of the Yulong Qiao), Yulong Qiao is an old stone arch bridge on both sides covered with a variety of plants (size mixed shrubs and some vines,) to witness the changes of nature, it feels a bit like small bridges, and Zhouzhuang, Zhouzhuang, but the bridge is much greater than that, and the integration of the landscape, by comparison to Zhouzhuang also added some rustic charm. When I stood on the Yulong Qiao, when found in the immediate scenery Ting Mei, the clear pan-green river, the river bamboo and houses exist side by side, due to rain, the river there is no reflection on both sides of ... ... also a bit less landscape. Even so, the murder is still a lot of my film.
Yangshuo Yulong Qiao to take the rafts from the great banyan tree per 150 yuan, nearly four-hour journey through our bargaining, eventually to 130 yuan / person.
Rafts of light long period of carrying us downstream and under the clear terms of standing water rafts, and on shore to see a completely different feeling, the river clear, such as expectations, only begin to like the "small sokdam mind" in the body of water, Even the river of grass, and river pebbles are clearly seen ... ....
We are drifting down the stream, a short while, we came to the first dam, boatman said: Along the way there are many due to dams built for irrigation, but now because of high water levels can be washed embankment, boatman asked us what we dare Chong (Chong Tsutsumi is a bamboo raft to the dam, and make them no less than rafts, raft washed downstream Lianren Dai go on, if not red, that is, visitors walk ashore dam, so bamboo raft down), we ask dangerous? Boatman said: stimulus and not dangerous, but there may be wet clothes ... .... Then we choose red embankment, come out to play on the wet and dry clothes do not care about the issue. Acute and kick to see the dam water, we are a little nervous, because the small Dan and Chen Yong will not swim (but wearing a life jacket), to the dam of the rapids, boatman told us to be firmly installed, and then a little bow, bamboo raft with the urgent flow Mashimo, when the whole bamboo raft downstream, I found that we seem to like the semi-floating in the river, where the whole leg below the knee in the water, trying to get to the surface slowly, although the pants soaked, but we both mood and feeling so cool, if it is hot some, I am sure continue to travel enjoyment of all.
Gradually the rain stopped, and boatman (originally Yulong villagers because the slack season, earning them more cost of living) has been introduced to us on both sides of the landscape and local custom. Very quiet on the river, and only one of our bamboo raft drifting downstream, the river on both sides of Castle Peak and bamboo make up a Chinese landscape scroll painting, "Yulong Amidst map", with the flow of rafts, picture slowly unfolding before our eyes , distant, close, hazy, clear front surface 11, allows you to savor slowly comprehend, and Zhennai "The boat Bibo, the people in the painting mid-stream", let us unwittingly into this Paint the go, has become a landscape painting ... ....
At this point, natural and tranquil beauty of the deep shock me in real life, actually there is such a place, I was a bit like "Land of Peach Blossoms," where the villagers - "ask today are Mr Ho Sai, I wonder if there is Chinese, regardless of the Wei-Jin ... .... " Feeling very detached, calm, so you get a completely selfless realm, in the mountains here for a Suburban, then why should not a good thing ... ....
When I see small groups of egrets, waterfowl, and some farming in twos and threes of the villagers, a scene that we all spontaneously thought of Third Sister Liu, and folk songs, is in such beautiful scenery that only nature of the folk songs a cappella with only afford to. And this feeling with me when Lijiang tour a big difference, because so many people in the upper reaches of Lijiang, more terrible is the sound of a motor vessel damage due to quiet, Just imagine, if the Third Sister Liu yacht sitting up singing in antiphonal style, This is what ruins the scene thing. Here to sing folk songs, even if no one came, and, where the mountains, where the water ... ... they will be the best sound, you will feel their lives. 1 "The mountains have only vines wrapped around the tree" is more Acacia bring you a little bit, little bit of touching, in this landscape for a long bull between the Colombian people and the Third Sister Liu is admired not only the envy Yuanyang cents.
Unfortunately, we all will sing Siqin Gerile version of - "folk songs like the Spring River water," and "the mountain saw vines wrapped around the tree," I really regret why did not Read it over twice before he came here, "Liu San Jie" it (to go back after the definitely a good look, "Liu San Jie")? However, we are still happy in which continuous singing. Suddenly, one of a boatman singing a real folk songs, we not only repeatedly responded with applause, but also a positive learning to sing folk songs with him, learning several first, but also enough for us some self-satisfaction.
The scenery of the Yulong River, we are full of praise, that is the real landscape of Guilin, Lijiang River does not have this feeling, probably because of infiltration of a lot of modern things. Boatman said: when the weather was fine scenery look even better. Boatman is right, because the clear when the reflection of blue sky, water, water is blue, mountain level more accountable. It appears that Yulong River but also to time, choose a time when fine weather.
While I used to kill the film industry wide open when the film suddenly found none, nor back-up band, sorry! Sorry! Boatman said: There is a tourist photo at the Yulong River, 12 rolls of film, and now we do not have one-third of the distance it. After traveling for pleasure must be multi-band film, remember, remember! !
Along the way we have laughter, sing folk songs, red dams, landscapes scroll so that we are fully integrated into nature to go ... ....
Four hours passed quickly, have seen the moon, mountains, sounds of the engine on the road again back to the reality we have come soon ashore, and really very reluctantly, on shore, we give each Bit boatman 10 yuan, but also left behind one of the pagers (Chen 66 ,127-1982501), I hope that the next Zaiqu time, but also to carry us with him.
Yulong River See you next time! !
Postscript to go home, I've been buying "Liu San Jie" look (in fact, in our very small when seen), looked at two consecutive times, each time I moved.
Prior did not go to Guilin, have never been to Yulong River, have not seen here, the scenery, there is no understanding here, and morals, see "Third Sister Liu," would not have too many feelings, at least not so profound, it now appears, "Liu San Jie" really is a good movie, you've been to Guilin, a friend, it may be recruited to see if there should be a different feel.
