D1 (9 29) Guangzhou - Guilin
At 22:30 on September 29 air-conditioned shuttle bus to Guilin, originally about 8 hours to arrive, the reason may be slippery due to rain, until the second day of 9:30 leads to the Guilin Bus Station.
D2 (9 30) Guilin - Longsheng look at the car, and I could not wait to KOMAN toward booking office, hoping you can buy a bus ticket back to Guangzhou on the 7th, but only to the sale of No. 3. No alternative but to go straight to the Longsheng. Because it can only be purchased through train to the 11 o'clock, hungry one night we finally found a chance to get sympathy to look at a hungry belly flat. Based on our experience, the small shops are usually more authentic things, on into the station in the vicinity of Guilin rice noodle to eat a snack, a test turned out not bad. Guangzhou definitely miss a meal come without hard slippery rice noodles.
Time too early, so we decided to go shopping. Later found in the vicinity of Elephant Trunk Hill, of course, look at this symbol of Guilin. In addition to just such a mountain, nothing depends on the income 15 yuan, and we certainly would not do such large turtles. Although outside the scenic area can be seen as the nose, was most objectionable is the spots are used up to 1.80 meters outside the plant surrounded them, we can only see the gap from the plant elephant's trunk.
In the way to the Elephant Trunk Hill met Shoko from Guangzhou, is just the car ride to the Longsheng 11:00. Shoko alone a person has finished the Hezhou, Yangshuo and other places, Meng said, "is." Our hearts are also Qiexi: "There is a pioneer, our trip to Yangshuo, a lot will definitely exciting."
To Longsheng, they found the same car from the east, Shunde, so we go hand in hand. East carrying a fully equipped 60 +10 backpack has finished the Hezhou, Yangshuo and so on. So we force over her envy in accordance with their vivid descriptions of the mind constantly emerging out of the beauty of Yangshuo.
Be, God forbid, a few days before it rains, we have just come across a sunny day. Local guides Xiaopan comrades, brought us not sit down to develop Guzhai car. Accompanied by a car, chickens and ducks to reach the village Surabaya, Xiao Pan comrades argue that we ask a person on the truck. Be regarded as open caravans it, although trucks. With a car competition for small animals and commodities to the pins, construction sites, the car had started. Escorted fence, half-exposed body outside the car was surprised to find that our car toward a "This road has not acceptance, non-motor drive," open to, and then further road before a look, God hey, after days of rain the moisture the road is a muddy Needless to say, just a small tricycle through the mud of the rugged road is won I do not know ... ... that is extended to where the fields.
As expected, the car did not go out, I leaned on the railing of the buttocks is miserable. Because the arm clutching the railings just finished more like a ball of endless pain. Just came across a boulder in front of highway, gang being processed. We will break off the road following is a stream, flowing from the stone between the voices of special crisp. The higher the altitude, the more spectacular scenery. The beauty of terraced fields so that we can only Da-mouth, speechless. Can only be issued by the most primitive call "wow ... ... wow ... ..."
Finally to taphan Uchimura, and this is already the end of the road, we can only take the mountain to the Guzhai. Did not walk a few steps, we Zhangtailezui Pakistan, but this is not a "wah-wah" sound is the "whirr" sound, tired ah. Many paths up the mountain was incredibly fortunate that there Xiaopan guidelines, or else, can not go getting late. 32 liters of the backpack has already I inspired people were not people, ghosts not ghosts, and is making life difficult to imagine that the East carrying a large backpack is how to survive it. On the road met two little girl, flew into me on her own, but also far ahead, it seems only Shoko is the most relaxed. Later we discovered that two girls, yes we are ready to lodging that the daughter of the family, their dad is Guzhai elementary school teacher.
The house is always hanging feet Mulou, the following raising of livestock, occupied the second floor, third floor, put debris. The most classic is that urinate, you must be like a thief, as casually looking for a place in the underground local solutions, and accompanied by livestock and to keep the door to beware of a huge slab; bowel movement? More Classic! In addition to Shoko, no one has gone through, is said to be as high as 1.6 meters underground placed a wooden box, (there is no light in body really is hard to imagine how to climb,) opened a hole in the top box, Tin A, but also aim at it ! Looking down from above the occasion, facing as big as dinosaurs sows.
To lay down their luggage, we photographed a few houses before the photograph, the Xiao Pan took us to see the sunset on the. About 10 minutes less than we have seen the golden yellow of the setting sun terraces and is located in the field of ancient stockade orderly. Again issued a "wow ... ... wow" sound of. At this time I completely forget the hardships of the journey, the immediate are those magnificent sunset, golden paddy fields, ancient cottage, mixed with grass, soil, fragrant breeze, there is an unknown bug in calls, everything is so perfect, just like Xanadu, like exposure to the many secular people to forget the unpleasant. After the sun sets, darkness fast also cool quickly, we are now only reluctantly back.
D3 (10 1st) Guzhai - Dazhai - Dragon's Back terraced get up at 7:00 am after the girl took us to a stream. Stream of clear water can be seen at the end, in the strangely shaped crevice between the land flowing with joy. Osprey from time to time come and go in the banks of streams, unfortunately it is not fish too small to wear glasses invisible weight. If the floods, standing on the bridge will be even more spectacular view.
Eating breakfast, 9:30 am we set off to Dazhai. The most difficult way is only now kicked off.
Hide a few days the sun is finally starting to take hold, according to tingling in the skin bursts. Can not remember how much in the sun turn the mountains, but I am just the pace of mechanization and marched, bags are not heavy, but at this time is the same as if extremely heavy stone presses I breathe. Road is not only muddy skid, as well as sizes of stone, in some places span and big feet have been feeling pain to the tortured incessantly. Until 11:00 after the summit the road began to go well together. A short break, physical restoration, we have brains to enjoy the scenery. 1,500 meters above sea level should have a bar, days seems to be particularly blue, and endless views of mountains structured. 12:30 Dazhai on to the observation deck of the Walled farms. Viewing platform had not been completed, I believe that very soon on the development of sound, then, farms scenery certainly be very weak. Long to wait for days, clear up a few photography enthusiasts laid them out as posture, the murder of the film has. Is indeed the Dazhai, He does have a commanding air, the landscape is particularly spectacular. If the Dazhai is ladylike, that can only be regarded as Xiaojiabiyu the Dragon's Back. Dazhai scenery, not only because of terraces and the United States, scattered in the staircase of the stockade is orderly, very original charm.
The Dazhai Hotel (picture special is good, right out of the landscape that is Dazhai, Tel: 7584175) After a lunch break until 14:00, we set off to the Dragon's Back. This section does not tragedies go, a lot of time passed from the field, but because distance is longer, the morning consume more, but also quite difficult. And the landscape of this section is not Guzhai to Dazhai good, and hence relatively boring. 16:00 Ping Township in the sixth to reach the village, the village in six large, but the planning quite messy, lacks good-looking. 5:30 to reach the Dragon's Back terraced No. 1 spots "Kowloon Fab Five." But I still do not know what kind of Kowloon and the Fab Five. No. 2 spots, "seven stars the moon" very delicate, a little man-made artificial. From the attractions waiting to Heian village child is full of poles, is shot taboo. This is the development of the deficiencies of the mature scenic spots. (Walk this line, we save a 30-yuan tickets)
Xiao Pan big brother live in the house and found the special expensive dishes. Could not help his recommendation, but also booked a second day of the bamboo-tube rice, no he said before the mushrooms, bacon, and only a few pitiful and peanuts. 8 yuan ah, we Taihushangdang. Rates would also like to close our 20 yuan / person. Doors are not, of course, talk the price down to 15 yuan / person transactions.
There are dragon dance show at night, and we followed behind by large groups of tourists and foreigners crowded, and thus had to suffer the text from Guangzhou are postgraduate education. This event will introduce tomorrow to Xiaopan large Nanshan ranch.
D4 (10月2日) Dragon's Back - Large Nanshan Pasture
5:00 get up and hurry to the No. 2 spots to watch the sunrise. The sun rose too fast, bass soon as the jump to the mountainside, the glare made it in 6:45. Leisurely walk back to hotel, in order so that bamboo-tube rice, almost catch the 9:00 train out of Longsheng. Quite a rush to catch up with the 11 or so big the mountain to the car, Longsheng Much to our surprise found that only two shuttle bus every day, one being 8:00, the 1:45 class was. No way, only to sit at 1:45, and go to large Nanshan, are almost 6 o'clock.
We take advantage of this gap, went to the water Dongzhai silver on the silver side of the road in large water Dongzhai 1:00 stockade taste are not worn, but also 50 tickets. We have lost five staff in the expression of large turtles in the chest and head high to leave. Kuwae only brought us a little bit of consolation to shoot a few photograph, time too early, we walk back to Longsheng. Laughter all the way, not only watched the spectacle of sending wood down the mountain, but also the way watch the Mulberry River fishing people.
Bend at the station finished Guilin rice noodle (also cheap and tasty), the 14:00 car out only slowly. Red when the vacuum cleaner all the way and found that his hands slippery, and I smile that right when it is talcum powder. Everyone has experienced ethnic transformation, from black hair to blond hair and skin from yellow to brown. Whole body from top to bottom, every pore is covered with dust.
All the way over the mountains to the plateau scenery panoramic view. The so-called 80 years big Nanshan, indeed a different extraordinary, endless mountains, broad-minded people inspired with enthusiasm. More than 1000 meters above sea level up to the bar, we will continue to add clothing, Hill is also a growing bald, yellow with green grass in the east of the hill all covered with reeds in the breeze blatantly forward, in the sunset under irradiation reed, as a whole mountain covered with bright feathers.
Reaching the Nanshan, in fact we have reached Hunan jurisdiction. We are the car, feeling in general. To find a place to live after the sun has set. However, Luo Xia is still beautiful, Shoko dropped backpack, it rushed towards the hill, we have a few really Paobu Dong, and can only go slowly out of the cow. Cows scattered on the hillside, the very taste of some grassland Unfortunately, it is hilly grassland type, there is no hope that we imagine an infinite sort of open grassland.
The most appalling is that when we go to the yurt, you must want us to purchase in, hard-bargained to 20 yuan a total of five people, I thought I went to see shows her surprise, eating instant noodles, we find it cold roof do not live, 21:30 finally left. Dressed in shorts and wearing a T-shirt KOMON East to puffing air hissing stamped. Out to the yurt, we have seen in the large Nanshan We are most satisfied with the landscape: such as the black jewel-like stars embedded in the dark sky, the Milky Way-like veil hanging in the sky above the speckled veil is for each of the shiny silver stars at light, good America.
D5 (10 Jan 3rd) Great Nanshan - Yangshuo
5:00 and his entourage got up to 5 people want to go to the hand-milking cows, go to the yurt, the door is not open, see the dawn sky under the clouds, we found a trail up the mountain section (this trail into the yurt can be free riders on the In the ticket office on the left is the cows out of channels). Finished a sunrise, and saw a rush of cattle were cattle pens and scene-ho soup, have killed a few films. 7:45 shuttle almost can not keep up, and milk drink also fail, the text was even more peculiar, bought two steamed buns, as one would like to add a little meat, a bite, inside empty.
Because down the mountain, back to Longsheng on much quicker. Road and asphalt at the junction of Wong Nai and found a hill there is a just like the image of Buddha holding his hands was lying, it is strange that not to allow these sites will soon be as famous as Leshan Giant Buddha. Kuwae accompanied us all the way back to the Longsheng, the tour also Gebenqiancheng: the East, according to the original plan to Sanjiang, Man planned to go to see a gold car houses, and I, and KOMON to Yangshuo, Shoko plan back to Guangzhou after the straight Shanwei friend left him to eat fresh fish.
Back to Guilin was fortunate enough to buy a ticket at 2:00 on the 7th of the return trip, I thought I could in the car straight to my legs, I could not help them happy.
Go to Yangshuo, found that housing prices remain high, searched the West, and was finally settled, "Our family hotel." Chong finished immediately cool, wash the dirty clothes accumulated a few days, thanks to the room with a balcony, I can finally find somewhere to put clothes.
Yangshuo, of course, tasting dishes at night, "Pijiu Yu", but really good, especially the skin, taste very good. Eat three square meals a meal, they stroll Street. Each bar has its different characteristics. We specialize in going to the "coffee shop, under the moon," Mix said that this is the most romantic cafes, turned out not bad, each bar is covered with a different color pattern batik cloth, the best embodiment of the perfect combination of Chinese and Western. Full of laughter, every one is such a happy face, as if integration into here, will let you forget all the unhappiness.
West features many items, CD shops, there are many dishes not found elsewhere. I am a Tibetan goods shop and enjoy the monopoly of these unique things, he suddenly heard the music from the jukebox inside me scared for the Sound Of Nature, the owner is a long-haired man, proud to say that this country has just released 25 CDs Zhang, opportunities sub-tropical climate, grinding him a long time, still to no avail. Subsequently, each time visiting the West, I have to go take a look at his shop and found that there are people obsessed with me, like we expect him to part with. Results? Of course, this failed啦.
D6 (10 Yue 4th) Yangshuo Welfare - New Village - stay in the public - Wood Village - Dwarf Mountain - Moon Hill
6:30 am, in the "colt of the day" next to spend 35 yuan rented two mountain bikes, we will proceed towards the welfare of the town. Originally planned to catch a ride to the welfare of the town after the ride, but later found the weather very good, without drying, so I decided to ride directly to the past. To the welfare of this section of track Meisha good-looking, followed a road. Find a large light crossing over the transition, we proceed toward the new Village. Totally do not know how to go, thanks to the villagers are very enthusiastic guide us, the way to go across such a typical rural scenery, a beautiful sight. Inadvertently turned into the public to stay inside the village and found a postcard of the old roof is shot here.
Road is difficult to go, in some places even three octagonal pointed directly sown on the gravel dirt road, the car has passed, just like full-body massage, stepped on bottom half of the journey a bit much.
Go to the dwarf mountain, found that gang of people from one lane to turn into the back there are bicycle riding double couple, next to the other middle-aged woman is definitely a local tour guide. We rushed and took up.
Right on cue, a good special scenery. Dwarf Mountain Bridge River and beautiful lawn, and later discovered that this road is the path to the Mountains of the Moon is no wonder that landscape is fine! Mountains and water, there are fields, a good school of pastoral scenery. Roadside continuing cattle drive villagers, visitors can ride on a Yak to spend a money taking pictures like a matador-like.
From the KAM Temple is the main road beside the Po came out, after a butterfly chatter springs, rock climbing base, water, rock, poly Longtan and finally reached the moon after the big banyan tree hill. But we did not go. I thought on whether a path from the side to find imports, the implementation of our fare evasion scheme, but we found that two tourists and a small bicycle tour through the one asked to return to Yangshuo. We do not the letter, because just asked an Aunt, is not the way Yangshuo. Having consulted with the girls behind them, know that this is another path to go back to Yangshuo. Guided with, according to our experience, there definitely beautiful. As a result, decided to go with them.
Encountered heavy rain on the way several of us chatted together, originally from Liuzhou, Shenzhen, Sichuan University, students are now working with in Shenzhen. Rain stopped, we resumed. Very bad path to go, many times, the high Tian Ji paths, side of the creek, Shen bottomless one side is a field, to fall to, if the choice is of course fields, because I can not swim. To Yulong River River, scenic special United States, had just finished the next rain, distant mountains seem to cast a veil, such as a splash-ink landscape painting. After Ji Ma, we must transition from the dam, then a narrow Bazi, covered with moss, green dam, and dam the water depth is not bottomed out, because it had just finished under the rain, the water they were very eager and thrilling excitement. In particular, can not swim I, really a kind of dying experience, a good terrorist.
Rain off and are the, we have both, and anyway there is no upper and lower body and that is that all dry, watching people hiding in houses, we are full of mud a few high-spirited to the mountain bike riding, back-stained pants, and shoes slurry back to the town of Yangshuo.
D7 (10月5日) Yangshuo Yulong River trail riding to Baisha Town, originally planned to ride upon, from the Yulong River upstream along the path back to Yangshuo. In the "colt of the day" met a girl from a few days before the bridge to the Yulong River upstream of workers and peasants, the scenery special good. But since rained on the road will be particularly difficult to walk, but most people opted to Yulong Qiao Ji Ma direction, we intend to listen to her say that even if the hard points, expect to see in the picture, decided to go this way. This decision is almost so that we came back with nothing.
Guilin rice noodle eating a hurry after (almost every day to eat Guilin rice noodle, as well as I now think of Guilin rice noodle on the nausea), we will proceed towards the direction of the Moon Hill. The workers and peasants under the bridge stopped full-shun Yu-down bamboo rafts, good looks relaxed faction Unfortunately, we have chosen this path. Bridge, the workers and peasants of the mud from the trail turned into gone, did not take long to see the girl. Before everyone warned us not to take this road, road mud or even make a bike all the blame does not move, but we crossed the girl took off on its own.
All the way up along the Yulong River River, and accompanied by rice fragrant flowers and grass, I was secretly glad of the occasion, but found that we have entered a stretch of rice fields, even the paths are not, and only hardly enough to stand on location of the ridge. According to push the fixed cars, only hold up bicycles, while looking around a way out. Come here, the feeling is virtually no way of way of no return. After a large orange fields, heart Qiexi, but also believe they have found a way out, and then forward, Yulong River lay in front of swimming in the past certainly will not do. At this time do not see a bike speeding away and had the original side of a road, but also the house (and later learned that Yangshuo Resort) Unfortunately, we pick on. Toss in 1 hour, an uncle came face is really our savior, with his guidance, we finally get out of this maze. Shoes have been covered with mud, hand held out because the bike to go, there is no capacity.
When on the road again, I met from the Guangzhou East, Chao, Ru and Ming. Individual has completed six full Qiaozhi Yulong River from the workers and peasants, this rugged trail. Tall even threw out twice, once to grab like dog feces, so we are tickled pink. Go to the Yulong Qiao is 4:30, tired and hungry more too busy to think of our deportment, and the crazy eating bread and snacks, drift is impossible, so a break in the river after a period of time to leave. Not out to Baisha town, see a bound for Yangshuo from Campbell's car, six individuals while making the decision to do a traitor, in order to avoid letting his buttocks worse, adding to the pain the pain by car to go back! One person plus a bike count 5 yuan went to the comfort of Yangshuo.
6 people tired face expressionless concentrating hard to eat after dinner, after bitterly repent after meeting tomorrow to do a fairy, sitting bamboo raft drifting down.
D8 Yulong River rafting rafting starting point is the Yulong Qiao, today is the arrival of light infantry, but also in the mood to enjoy the scenery of the Yulong Qiao. Shiba extension from the clean water flowing under bridges antique, blue sky and white clouds, such as Dai-hills, park the shore, bamboo rafts, good a paradise! There are two bamboo rafts for each chair, chair top of a sun umbrella, three bamboo raft slowly drawn so as to become an immortal feeling really not bad. Qifeng strange surrounding mountains can be seen at the end of reflection in clear, green as jade in the river, through the clear water can also be found in the fish swimming among water plants; shore cottages of the villagers warmly invite you come ashore from time to time to eat rice farmers. Everything is so delightful rustic charm, scenery winding Li. Everyone could not help clear the river of temptation Ba Jiaoshen in, kind of cool feeling, so you expect this time docked.
Yulong River size of the total of 28 dams, which originally was built to irrigate and facilitate people across the river on both sides, so there are gaps, but the stimulus is not. Public chat up with the raft, before we know, until this year's National rafts only by the government unified the whole village there are about more than 200 people queue up to the way that they do not lead to vicious competition. Because rafts are more round only once a day holidays, usually to 1-2 days.
Stayed in the cottage to eat more than 1 hours, and we move on, after Yangshuo Resort, and soon reached the workers and peasants on the bridge, here is the end. The drift time was 6 hours, if not rushed to the car, while a few people would like to find a place to swim it. Drift time can be determined at this time you is not absolute. If you hurry, raft union designated quickly; if you like photography, can also be ordered drawn slowly.
Back to the Yangshuo is already 18:00, ultra-four split up to go pick up their things, rushing to buy specialty car ride 18:30. I KOMON hurry to send a postcard (or did not send the final end, out to Guilin, another mad to write two hours, at the end, postal kiosk stamps are not enough, the only put down money to help prop up the main pavilion mail). Until 20 o'clock before going to Guilin.
D9 (Guilin - Guangzhou) Special slow train, from 2:00 until 18:00 to get to Guangzhou. Fortunately, the weather cool, or else, there is no air-conditioned train will let you can not stand.
At this point, Guilin, Yangshuo, Longsheng trip was successfully completed. Thank Guangxi People's enthusiasm to help and Dongdong, Shoko, super-charged, Wen Wen, Ru, and others, has made my journey full of fun. This trip, I was impressed by the mountains and rivers here, I yearn, I believe that soon I will once again back here.
