--------------------------
Primers -2002.5.1
mimi9 stuffy in Beijing has been a long time, and finally wait until the "51", knowing it to Guilin landscape under heaven will definitely be a place packed, but despite the warnings biglions must bypass the bustling tourists to find their own beautiful Guilin .
Unwilling to do any manipulation of the puppets tour guide insisted on their own to savor the beautiful scenery, so round-trip ticket became a top priority. From Beijing to Guilin, a one-way ticket 1300-1500, the mimi9 so many places to go for civilian travel, preferring to leave the money in Tibet. Moreover, an absolute pleasure to look at the scenery on both sides of the tracks can be set to the sleeper from Beijing to Guilin is no small task! Played numerous booking hotline on even after they found nothing, but unfortunately the temptation to Guilin had to grip hard-seat tickets (fare 238), bravely embarked on at 10:50 on May 1 bound from Beijing to Nanning T5, and then one way or another biglions, to alleviate the loneliness of the road.
After a bumpy 24 hours, the morning of May 2, from Guilin Railway Station and get off, the sky still light rain. Outbound train first thing in return journey to the ticket window, one asked, May 6 to Beijing, only non-seat tickets, and makes browsing the hall bulletin board, a day berth T5 is only a few really incredible ! We are soliciting from the men and women for hotel siege and went straight to go around some of the hotels and restaurants to see if he could set to the vote, the result is disappointing others, or is that only lived there only to the booking, or simply that there were no votes , or only have to try a lot of deposit, time flies, already 12 points more, and biglions to discuss, or first go to Yangshuo bar.
Yangshuo 2002.5.2
Station Square, there to Yangshuo light, "51" price is 7.5 yuan / person. From Guilin to Yangshuo is a very good asphalt road takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Alighting from the bus station and walk 10 minutes to the famous West Street, where most people are. We were there 2:00 pm on May 2, has not moved one step too tired legs (this is the hard seat price), had to find shelter in the West, asked the way to go, and everyone was full, and finally a called "Bamboo," the hotel to find a log cabin, which is only a bed, a chair, the room is flows, and there is no one window, 110 / day, despite the dissatisfaction, but no longer able to go but to Minato and housing down, then listen to the boss said it was a house usually does not rent. West standard rooms in the "51" period is 200-300 / day, season to go there Oh, the budget must be good.
Hastily dropped luggage, and go to Red Star Express online introduction to a tuna pizza, taste good, but not biglions how the Italian meat surface samples had to share a little pizza to him. Stroll along the West all the way past, the end of the pier is Yangshuo, see the box office is selling Yangshuo - the welfare of cruise tickets, 130 / person, it was expensive, think they went out in a boat to the boss about our welfare as long as 80 yuan, when Xiangui did not go there because the internet said that 30 / person, decided to walk along the edge may be only a few stalls selling the vicinity of tourist product, the terminal side of the Lijiang River and the water dirty, and only fairly distant mountains beautiful, but the bustling crowd, no a good mood to enjoy, and perhaps rent a bike to the county in the external browser can travel fatigue blowing hit, there is no effort to toss about, and weigh, or by boat to look at the Lijiang River downstream, according to an online travels that scenery is not bad. So 260 yuan to buy two tickets official is said to travel 3 hours, even rest her surprise, had just boarded the vessel, there are attendant up asking whether or not to order food, taste what the characteristics of Yangshuo Li River fish, were declined after the others is also a look of dissatisfaction. Boat just getting two steps, then stopped not go, and inquired into the reasons, as if that was in the "declaration," I can not remember, and because it is what it means. Then, after more than 30 minutes, the ship slowly out terminals, the two sides are hills, there are some Bambusa Multiplex scenery can be, but I then swim xingping - Yang Di, the feeling of the Yangshuo - being called " Small Lijiang River "It was too much. Closer to home, Cruise to continue to slowly move forward, as well as tour guides in the captions, to each the name of a hill in front of camera to be stopped to give visitors, dallying to walk the forty to fifty minutes, we reverse the bow, Road Back government, and waiters began serving visitors to the a la carte, most are air-conditioned cabin back to eat and drink, a few tourists scattered on the deck, facing the two sides a daze, including mimi9 and biglions. Will soon return to Yangshuo pier is still hoisted ashore to see the sun, is at best a two-hour, mimi9 Taihushangdang, spur of the moment wasted 260 yuan, out of hatred for cruise ships, mimi9 decided to cancel the ride from Guilin to Yangshuo Cruise The plan, while the biglions believes, on-line to boast about a "small Lijiang River" who is definitely "You care."
West Street has many of the numerous western restaurants, dinner is easy to resolve health conditions are very good, originally intended it to stand, and the roads did not see, can only continue to eat Western food. After dinner, walk to the nearby, only to find stand not in the West, but in a nearby street, perhaps a dimly lit, looks a bit chaotic, biglions that where health is not good, but I think the taste of food is the first temptation , but the stomach has been saturated, and too lazy to argue with him. West night, a pedestrian far fewer than during the day, mostly in the bar closed, we have to "Under the Moon", asked for a bottle of beer, breeze blowing and hot during the day to ease a lot, unconsciously is midnight .
Return train ticket is still a big problem, we asked a few places, Guilin to Beijing berth simply Moxi, youth hostels booking a seat that votes can be set to, but have to pay 80 yuan per ticket fee , it is necessary to know the fare for each hard seat only 238! Votes than the more expensive ticket brokers. Speaking of youth hostels, there is another thing people angry, and the afternoon to ask them to rent a bike and that the price is 10 yuan / day, saying that come the next morning you can rent, but after a less than two hours, we will certainly intended to prepare the bike the next day, they called without a car can be rented out! The reason is very simple, because we do not live in their hotels.
2002.5.3
Night, the United States and the United States slept, body and spirit are restored. West Street in Yangshuo, feeling overcrowded, so decided to ride out the next day. 50 yuan / day price to rent two bicycles, more than 10 points before proceeding to the Mountains of the Moon. Because I do not know how to get path had to drying under the hot sun along the road healthy color, about 40 minutes, to the workers and peasants on the bridge, Yulong River flows from the bridge, the bridge on the right (upstream) has lots of passenger floating bamboo rafts, a noisy scene. While on the left (downstream) has a wide sandy beach and the quiet river, surprisingly quiet, and only a few people walking on the shore. I envy no better and decided to come back when you first went to the shore to sit for a while, and then riding a bicycle to accompany biglions Yulong River upstream. Bridge over the workers and peasants, and soon went to a big banyan tree, mimi9 right Paula Lagos not interested, so continue forward riding, 10 to minutes to come to the moon hill. The so-called Mountains of the Moon is the top of the mountain there is a hole, with the observation angle is different from the moon change, but also because a lot of holes at the end of the Minister of plants, it is always a semicircle appears, and then asked biglions, when the Moon will become a round? Replied: winter. mimi9 feel justified, and returned to Beijing after the sudden thought that the winter will be like Beijing, Guilin, like bald? In addition, there is a dirt road leading to the highway, Dubbed the "full moon Road" bicycle past a look at each charge 8 yuan is really eye-opener! biglions therefore be inferred, if not the Mountains of the Moon radius of 10 years (?), some people will definitely repair the high walls and are selling tickets fees.
Mountain biking back from the moon walk was nearly noon, passing large banyan tree, I saw that side of the road selling watermelons, mimi9 a burst of inspiration, decided to buy a watermelon to do lunch, sitting in Yulong River eating, how beautiful! So mimi9 one more bike on the 22 pounds of watermelons, valued at 22 per. Approaching the bridge when the workers and peasants, mimi9 found a path, as well as visitors ride over, feel that the road may be able to come to see the Yulong River downstream of the beach, so, and biglions a headlong into paths, riding ah ride, first passing through a small village, a small roadside shop selling the boss wanted to buy a large watermelon mimi9 under, mimi9 of course, could not bear, and went Hao Bantian, or not see the shadow of Yulong River, dotted with rice fields do have the headline, emerald green vigorous seedlings to vertical in the water, and accompanied by the beautiful Bambusa Multiplex and heavily upon layer of distant mountains, the sky has always drifting away a while rain is really a touching pastoral scenery. Along the path to stop-go all the way to enjoy pleasant scenery and fresh air, they still did not find a place to eat watermelon, Could it be the wrong path? However, occasionally there are visitors to ride through it, tell us to continue to move forward to the road. I do not know when the sun came out again keep company had, mimi9 and biglions hungry to move forward, on-street there is a water truck, as well as buffalo, two old man in the recruiting business, you can and buffalo waterwheel photography, mimi9 found that distance seems to there is a river, as well as the water splashed sound, it seems that there is a grass, bent in the past to see, but no road leads to the past, only to do the furrow of cement, is that local people use water, but higher than in paddy fields 23 meters, mimi9 courageous critical moment, and then walk over 20 meters, "beam", just a little heartbeat, from the high of "Beacon" down the stairs and iron pipes and down, his legs finally struck a beautiful Napian lawn, lawn edge gently flowing river, the river's opposite bank a long with clusters of Bambusa Multiplex. mimi9 elated and decided to feast on here to enjoy the watermelon, fly in the ointment is that the sun is too drying, and a little hot, parked on a bamboo raft, looking up at the shore, but also with awning, so the boss to discuss, we have spent five money , sat her on the raft, lay down their backpacks, open the watermelon, mimi9 and biglions each holding half a watermelon, while enjoying the breeze while eating watermelon, bamboo raft down with the water gently rippling, ear buzzing of the river are accompanied by, but also a group of light ass little boy playing in the river, where civilians can enjoy the happiness. From the rafts boss's mouth, we know that this place called the dwarf mountain, the river is the Yulong River downstream. When we eat a watermelon, went to the shore grass to play for a while, the temptation could not help rafts and decided to ride a bamboo raft and drifted into the bridge below (which may be dwarf Hill Bridge), two were just 10 yuan. As a result, leaning against the chair on the raft, so smooth down, took off his shoes and socks, Ba Jiaoshen into the water, close your eyes and understand quiet and peaceful Yulong River, while to a low hill on the bridge, abandoned boat landing, ride bicycle to move forward, after a number of villages along the way without any particular scene, unknowingly had come to Yangshuo island, when it suddenly realized that we came back the line is the path to the Moon Hill!
Back to the Yangshuo's West Street is already 17 o'clock number, the return of bicycle, backpack back to the Yangshuo bus ride to Xingping. China and Pakistan is very comfortable, with air conditioning, 7.5 yuan / person. Although only more than an hour away, in the mountains along the simple road walk is very hard sometimes dusty, sometimes stopped to make way across the vehicles. Sat in the car was not lonely, far and near the mountains, paddy fields, there are buffalo farming and farmers, is the most natural of the most real life, mimi9 no chance of sunrise and sunset to live, but is willing to With a little reflection farmers and the pain and frustration. Look at those roadside simple adobe houses, as well as the village side of dirty children, mimi9 willing to give them respect and encouragement, rather than sympathy and compassion.
