We as the yellow lead into a village, where villagers met with our friendly greeting. Out of the village is the beach of the Yulong River. Lijiang Yulong River is a tributary of Li River landscape rude, known as the small Lijiang River, the river Qinglie and shallow, reach out to touch the underwater swimming aquatic plants. Shades of the two sides at reasonable distance scenery, is also a masterpiece of God.

Dinner water caves (120RMB/PPL). Cidong statements allegedly made by foreigners explorers found no commercial development, thanks to hand-foot climb climb was very stimulating. Cave high and sometimes low and sometimes when the narrow width, without the prior belt helmet, I do not know his head knocked a hole for a few. It should be remembered that a very flat channel, I call it "monster small pharynx," the letter here at first glance will not be able to learned person. The first monster hard penetrate into the mouth, the mouth is a smaller space, relying on open-miner's lamp, the whole body squeezed into it yet to see the export of fine throat, and so strive to let the body and stalagmites friction few meters, psychological after questions, concern, despair After finally saw the light. Them hooked.
Tang Zhao waist of groundwater, we have the name of miner's lamp in the dark, and finally found a mud lake, washed his first return to the mud bath. The cool feeling, "No person who can not be washed clear." Required to bring their own swimsuit, and prior to wear inside. After the bath quintana smooth, just wading through a mud of groundwater can be cleaned, if summer, proposes to retain the mud in the body, walking in the West, the set for 100% keep returning.
From the cave out of the water is already dusk, the sun not yet down-hill, basking in very comfortable. Return After Mountains of the Moon, Butterfly Spring. Daoshi some unknown place more beautiful scenery, This time of travel are the most beautiful pictures taken at this path.

7:30 embarkation (50RMB/PPL), began to rain. Boatman Zhigu ran around the scenery flies find what you want seeing the reflection of yellow cloth, nine horse paintings mountain attractions, do not have thoroughly enjoyed themselves. To the wave stone, decided not to return onboard, disembark, Dayton remarkable beauty. Xiufeng Danru painting, Chui Jing jade water, shouting an echo, gateway to fresh air, reminding us of scenes in Wonderland. We sat an old fisherman insisted on a bamboo rafts (15RMB), upstream. In the hazy mist and landscapes, we have a boat, only four seemed like a fairy tale. Boat trip to one of the marshland around the pebbles, the old fisherman no longer willing to move forward, given that nearly 10 o'clock, the Marine must dispatch control of private boats in operation. Sure enough, we landed is limited, open motorboats, a team of cruise ships to open, the silence was broken. The envy of tourists on board we can leisurely swim in the coast, tut the expression written on his face.
All the way Ta Ge, noon to Yang Di crossing.
Decided to give up kwan'am deliberations in the afternoon went to terrace. Accordingly by the Yang Di back to Guilin (to transfer 2 +4 RMB / PPL). Lunch near the bus station in Guilin, horse meat noodles (4RMB/PPL). 13:10 on the bus to the peace and township (11.5RMB/PPL), at the roadside on the train to a double-mouth (2.5RMB/PPL), wait a moment, there are loose Huajiang licensed minibus, adventure mountain road from being built to the Dazhai (7RMB/PPL), because under construction, able to open to where it all depends on luck. Then there are girls volunteered to take on the road Dento Yao Village (15RMB), we arrived before dark this village more than 1000 meters above sea level.
We have chosen is the latest from the observation deck on the 1st one family, but also lead the way girl's relatives, the master Pan Zubiao (M: 13907835021), Weiren simple, warm and hospitable. Guilin Qiayu three young people, are also settled in this tour, because one of them is that the families of Guye, we are fortunate to rubs up against a very grand dinner meal. We have 10 groups come to sit around the fire, drinking the sweet potato-brewed wine, eating terrace vegetables, laughing bragging, leaving a beautiful memory. Terraced vegetable unique local Yao eat: the bottom is the fire; and then a big pot entrees, soy chicken stew, soup, are more chicken is very fresh, no MSG; in Guo Lifang a metal framework, there is two, the second layer is a Tangci Wan, which is just fried bacon, from the bottom of the piping hot steam can continue to insulation; highest level, put a small bowl of chili. Structured into a terrace-like, hence the name terraced vegetable (I played the name). Only regret is that power failures, the village dark, alone, and head of the kerosene lamps lighting fire eating, Guilin Liang Xiong said, not regretful Naishi perfect, that also-ran.
Gongchoujiaocuo late into the night, swinging up the hill to the hotel. Suddenly see the mountains as much as a blue jade-like lakes, such as the mirror-like calm, mysterious magnificent, suspected Tianchi. The owner explained that this is a mountain in the mist of illusion only makes us staggering.
11/20 Wed
6:30 get up, through the terraced fields on the window to see cream, a white elephant down the snow. We do not wash, straight on the 1st observation deck. Several mountain from the bottom up is very spectacular sweeping curve of the parallel. Up on the hilltop to see even more spectacular, and parallel curves into concentric circles, high and low scattered, excited ups and downs, filled with co-ordination and rhythm. Distance is a billowing sea of clouds, sea of clouds and a few vaguely emerged in Yaojia stockade, although do not see the sunrise, and this sea of clouds are beautiful, and I said: Huangshan Cup. FY mutation, Ai Ai became a sea of clouds and mist, vapor in the ranks. Several recent mountain looming in the mist are also quite good-looking. So beautiful, rapidly disappearing, not more than a moment, we are surrounded by mist, and eyes a vast expanse of whiteness, and also it began to drizzle. Such as fog seemed to be able to go back retreated.
Consultation with the owner, saying that this fog is difficult retreat, I hope there was a heavy rain tonight, then tomorrow morning will be sunny. Decided to stay a day off before the others were not scattered cloud days.
Eating lunch in the fire next to the Kaohuo, Little White - host family a mild watchdog - also lying to sit down with us Kaohuo. We stroked the little white head, chatting with the host family, talking about the history of Yao, their production and living, are is not easy. Generations left the barren terraces, because of the rise of the tourism industry, giving them the opportunity to bring a little bit. They are still poor, for the future hope of holding flat.
Here are the hotels and residential wood-structure Diaojiaolou, two-or three-storey, large roof, black tiles. Is so amazing even without a large construction nails, Tenon knot support thanks to Wooden. The evening, the master out, the huge hotel, leaving only the two of us are still power outages, but also off the water. Others are not around, walking in the wooden attic, listening to an echo of the squeak, quite an atmosphere of terror, but also the fan experience.
11/21 Thu
5:30 at the urging of clock opened his eyes, like gamblers flop like the curtains opened, to see a bigger fog, my heart is broken. At eight o'clock get up and go downstairs to eat and shops accordingly farewell was very reluctant to leave, having left that honest people do not care which still holds pipa terraces.
All the way down, after several stockade, walked straight road, spent a few hours. Mood as it deep in the mountains of the quiet and comfortable, although there are still regrets around the heart, but red light that is not pleasant mood. Pass road Dazhai completion next year, we do not have so much way to go, but the quiet is also a rare situation indeed.
Afternoon arrival in Guilin, the famous also beneficial to eat the noodles horse Hin (2.4RMB / 2), things are inevitably different.
Walking Street at night teach you, try the street food. Guilin, lively but not noisy streets are more people, but very clean. A variety of snacks, unique flavor, it is to my taste. Guilin has fallen in love with.
Then go to Lijiang River side walk, that night there are guests for the leadership of a high standard performances, fireworks, searchlights there are symphony, Lijiang was illuminate the bizarre, to Guilin, the fly in the ointment.
11/22 Fri
Today, as the Guilin tour. Xiangshan morning sunrise is an unforgettable beauty.
From zz from sina at 7:00 am that the major park free of charge before the Guilin. We got up early, went to a recent Xiangshan Park, the famous Lijiang River Elephant on the shore this park. Lijiang has a layer of morning mist, the sun the other side of Bambusa Multiplex Congjiang a pair of raised, red, like a salted egg yolk, tender hairy edge gives the impression that was an elephant on the top of the forehead, are extremely cute. Our minds have been vulgar in the Xiangshan have suddenly become brilliant together. We went to pick Dan Zier island Lijiang, in the elephant's nose with a cheerful good Guilin aunt chat, unknowingly passed most of the day.
Lunch is worth a book, is in a civilized way small farms the mouth of an open-air restaurant to eat, very clean, very delicious and very cheap. By their own side dishes, the boss chef, the two of us spent seven money to eat so cool.
Afternoon went to the Seven Star Crags, nothing to write, nor spirits Zaiqu the other parks. Good music to go downtown more than the supermarket to buy souvenirs (the kind of local product store black to death, we thought it generous to Kandao half of the amount, they readily agreed, d.m.z. find fooled, flying also like to escape will be away). Fermented bean curd is essential, and two 51 vial very refined, is also very good to eat, you can give as gifts. Also bought a Maonan beef jerky and Vietnam produced jackfruit, good food, far better than conventional native chestnut ointment.
20:30 From Guilin North Station to leave good memories away, leaving a deep attachment. Have the opportunity again, I would like to live a few months.
Summary lesson:
1, Guilin day tour is a waste of trip, can go to resources for investment capital River, is another strange landscape. Only later did the return trip on the train to listen to the player introduction.
2, the best viewing terrace view to early May planting and at harvest time and the end of October. Dento Walled requirements and villagers as a total meal, great taste, cheap.
3, to farms before telephone contact to ensure good weather, or other too embarrassing.
4, early in the morning ride rafts down the river downstream of the Li River (Yang Di to xingping above) should be Gengshuang, shall make arrangements to travel.
5, in Yangshuo tour guides to help cut down the door to Jilisongyong fares, can save a lot.
6, if you are a night to Guilin, Yangshuo, Guilin station has direct access to the CMB, but have to wait a long time, if the car less than Jiucheng passengers, wisely or stay in Guilin jumping bar.
