One day, two-train journey is finally over, the station from the liuyuan ride the bus two hours to reach the urban area of Dunhuang, northwest of the weather, did not we think is so cool. In order to be delayed, and other three players, the original itinerary to be extended next day. When Joy and Xiao Zhang in the hotel watching TV when I go shopping alone. Dunhuang city is very small, not an hour can be everywhere on. That is the weekend, the pedestrian street, not many of the stalls are placed stocking filled with a street, watching the Tingyou Chinese New Year atmosphere. Restaurants, small shops selling, photo studio, the others are a lot of convenience facilities, audio-visual store, also sells flowers of the album, four dollars an hour Internet cafes where young people are sitting. Dunhuang, the historic border town, and I saw many in the South is not much difference between medium and small cities. On the street who is not wearing a heavy, dry climate because of the north, although the temperature is low, do not feel the cold than the chill damp of the south. Daoshi me, sets the two major cotton-padded jacket, down pants, hat and gloves, scarf, fully armed and a look that is alien and, therefore, over time many people asked me whether or not to car rental.
Will be at noon on the second day of the Macedonian Qi Dunhuang, integration of four Takeo two talented woman, just filled with a minibus. Silk Road Dongyou mission team from Shanghai, Guangdong, Wuhan, after two months of looking online and offline, communication and understanding only gathered one. Since I was given the title sponsor of the credit for their hard efforts of the captain, another talented woman Icey has also been honored elected as deputy leader, keep a close watch finance, but because of poor financial management capability, and lose herself to a hundred pieces. In addition, Icey concept of time is also very poor, even when they were starting from Shanghai, missed the train, sleeper Meal Service into the second day of standing tickets, but fortunately, she was enthusiastic about the handsome guy in the car met only boil over. Icey self-proclaimed typical modern Shanghai girl, the standard is a highly educated, the future of good jobs, independent personality, love actually, but Ningquewulan. I admire her for her aura and ability and insight, from the literature, history, recipes down to a joke, she can readily twist to cope with ease. Icey on the road with my easygoing atmosphere often, "Bai Ku," in sharp contrast, cool, is Andy gave me the title of the highest rating, I have been very strange how the word will be used in me. Andy was a handsome guy from Guangdong Shunde, his most famous mantra is "I go first of the" permeate from Dunhuang, Tianshui, becoming the highest rate of sentences along the way sound. At first I did not expect Andy will be with us too, though he was to see my post after the response to the earlier one, but he is always on and off the audio, but also has been such a far distance, so I finally doubt His sincerity. Joy among us the highest educational level (graduate students), he first learned that the Silk Road Dong You planned and ready to make trouble, but unfortunately the economic difficulties of twists and turns finally take place. Xiao Zhang The youngest, travel experience is very rich, Old and traveled to the small half of China. Just do not understand why the journey, he has been insisting to wear pairs of shoes in Bashansheshui inevitably cumbersome. "Alex, aged 30, single, unmarried", which is the only section of the site recorded Movie, Alex seize the time to market themselves. I promise he's on my site leave a space for his board Personals, interested persons may contact 13,607,749,111:)
Tempted from the Mogao Grottoes in Yang Huishan inspired by the creative bent glass products only westbound, the real Mogao Quemo quite shocking to me. Perhaps because of its reputation too, admired many people caught in the flow of people in worship, even though I was too extraordinary passion, but it can not be passed to the Shek Pik know this millennium. "I see more charming, Castle Peak, Castle Peak to see me is the same material," which is a close one to one based on equality, which is why I prefer the bare natural landscape. When you are fortunate enough to work with hay scattered in the Gobi, the wind from the desert dust Chung, the sunshine of the snow-capped mountains dialogue, or just a roadside wildflowers, mountain Yihong springs, it comes from deep inside feelings and shock is the most real, rather than on historical, cultural or other external factors. Cave art is one of the major development of Buddhism in northern feature of caves and temples, like the construction of the mind are awarded for the Master Road, believers worship place. Ran some unknown reason, the temple has been developed to today's incense-filled, but since the Han and Tang Dynasties caves after being abandoned to rot away beneath. Along the way see the caves came most of all alone in the barren desert, perhaps the deterioration of ecological environment, urban migration has led to the decline of Grottoes. I thought if they are hidden within the cave wall paintings and sculpture and the artistic value, they face today whether the roadside, as it generally unknown number of unnamed hill? Cave art preservation, art shine a grotto, a newspaper has reported that one or Down?
Mogao Grottoes to be seen is the priceless art, although this art is that most people may not even be able to enjoy listening to talks, the Western Thousand-Buddha Cave and Yulin can see it is complementary with the beauty of the surrounding environment. Western Thousand-Buddha Grottoes's reputation is not big enough, we did not went in, but inadvertently found hidden in a poplar forest (poplar is yet to be corrected), followed by the junction of the ice stream. This is the first back in the vast Gobi see murmuring streams, the previous Crescent Moon Spring is just illusory. Streams from the valleys meandering through, their delicate features and graceful looks like south of the scenery, natural shore a dense cluster half the height of the reeds is typical of northern temperament. Yulin caves excavated in the gorge on both sides of Ten Thousand Buddhas, Yishanbangshui, keeping the cave houses built around the largest cave on the 1st, it was noon, we saw smoke curl, just a few kilometers from each other, belonging to Xanadu. This place is not exactly a day or two to see in any event, I imagine if the countless days to live, and holding a book sitting on the river, enjoying the sunshine and the Northwest to study the history of soul-stirring book, the passage of time on that passed away dynasty culture, history and art have a certain understanding, and then look back inside the cave wall paintings and sculptures, they will not be at a loss nothing to move. But is this the ideal but that is only rover, the rich luxury.
Yang Guan and yumenguan the original is just two people today can not be confirmed, Pianyou deliberately drawn out of lap ruins, ancient "West out of Yang Guan without cause" and "non-degree yumenguan Spring," the mood could there in contrast to closed off the outside of the prosperity and Luotuo out, and now the ruins of the cliff around the circumference Shiji Li are both the Gobi, drove from the Jade Gate to the Yang Guan, everywhere can see an open, did not feel Qichu and desolation. The Northwest winter sky is always blue, blue sky thousands of miles, climbed the cliff's height bathed in bright sunshine in between heaven and earth rare deserted, and my heart leapt up in the only heroic, only "It's back also, even if this meant 10 million-yang Guan is also difficult to leave "... ...
Walking alone in an oasis in a wilderness on the headset Tingyao Gun stuffed with what it feels like? Kick into gear after the wind from the ear, rock sound has been twisted into the largest avalanche is perturbed. To enjoy the solitude of walking without direction, "Gone with the Wind xiao pian I was lonely, not a total enmity Red Dust," is not true that lone moment of happiness and pleasant it?
24 years, the first New Year away from home and loved ones, Danian Ye Spring Festival Gala has an opening that we are still in the hurry to get somewhere. Till Jiayuguan City, is filled with restaurants, looking for a meal, and finally did not let us hungry. Six strangers from all over the world, through the network that point magical, half-truths from the flow of information to filter out, in the 10000 reunion time sitting together, Do not worthy of this celebrated by a toast? Unfortunately, the restaurant has quite a VCD that Taiwan can not sing karaoke OK, we wanted to dispel eagerly singing Masaoki, but this point has been made up later regret.
Jiayuguan Great Wall is the only way to see the first pier, as tower and cantilever descendants rebuilt the Great Wall but, very general. Again, I prefer the natural landscape, even if it rings like a legislature, as a monument yumenguan income the money a few tourists, but also completely artificial than that towers like a palace staged at a much Reiki. The so-called Great Wall No. 1 pier is only imaginary only be concerned about who would go to whether it is the first of several piers do? The real interesting thing is that recessed valley winding twists and turns water a distance, like a number of Road ice embedded in the cliffs, the sun shines under the shining brilliance. Mountains and Water, always is to look at tire of the scenery. Walking in the completely frozen stream, on both sides of the mountain where they stand, towering into the sky and think of just from the look, the overlooking is the pride of the generous, and now look on from below, looking up to is another round of calm. The same scene from a different point of view, there will be different feelings. Not limited to the natural landscape, this world has been true of everything.
The use of night time the coachman, for breaking off the days as we travel this person would be a good idea. From Jiayuguan to Zhangye, Zhangye to Wuwei, Tianshui Wuwei, Tianshui to Xi'an, we are all just sailed over. I am pessimistically think that if time and money could not escape the shackles of my travel will always only be cursory. We have seen, Zhangye Horseshoe Cave, some have been destroyed, no murals, sculptures and the like cultural heritage, they seem to have lost it for people to look at the value of the local people that everybody either empty loess mottled exposed, and withstood the wind blowing rain. Ran a natural not just a carrier of human civilization, you love it well, do not like to be bothered with them, a hundred years, a thousand years, it will always have their own language and display their existence. These bare foot grassland grotto, face toward the snow-capped mountains, are woven into a unique magnificent western style. Qilian mountain beyond the Great Wall and the Central Plains to connect the ancient past, often to read from the martial arts, how many swords, both good and bad of life and death occurred in this, and now are displayed in front of reverie How can people not even fly fast? Till prairie, although because of the winter wither defeated not see, "wind-swept pastures see the cattle and sheep," the trend, the decline of the lush natural that people are still ecstatic. Met Gobi, meet snow-capped mountains, met grasslands, is my greatest achievement of this trip. The northwest and south, a broad spectacular, a winding Li graceful, natural magic, even if only a glimpse of Leopard exhausted lifetime evident, why not contentment.
Wuwei is the ancient city towards the west, but like many other historic cities, Wuwei city under neither to retain the previous style, modern building will have no Zhang Yang of the Department, the only one days I wish grassland, but because travel a longer distance, time, tight and not rush. In the city also has sea-Fat Jong Temple, Confucian Temple and other attractions can be described as a place, but these cultural scene in the city may also be rigid as to avoid mechanical and enjoyment of a hurry journey, to make every effort to experience the natural folk, and take more Road, in the thinking and physically beyond the self is the purpose. For the "all mysteries are guided tours of" saying I was dismissive, and understand that I prefer to seek knowledge from books or local residents, tour guides explain the mostly monotonous, but tied the imagination. Fat Jong Temple does not go into the sea so I do not look at the Confucian Temple, but is willing to spend time walking, thinking. Even a simple observation of life, watching my grandfather play with grandchildren, watching a man riding a bike was chatting up a woman Pao Lu, may well be a pleasure. If possible, I would prefer a person to travel, to maximize the arbitrary, not for the trip of the beam, claim whatever they like, even if the plan to go 10 scenic spots only completed one, if you really had fun in which the , another side?
Walking, in a strange city, "What are you doing here?" "What are the factors, what kind of a life history of promoting such a time you choose to come to this place?" "Before you come to what kind of life, to later What kind of attitude will be put into the next stage of their lives? "Every time I travel, I would like to ponder. A trip of a life that is a summary of the beginning of the next stage of life. Daily life stress suppressed brain overload has gradually lost its thinking, the ability to imagine, even if the occasional spark of wisdom is fleeting, only the road can relax, rest and concentrate on to do such thinking. I have come to the motherland's northwest, the western city known for its winter of losing their leaves and alienation for those who glance in passing. Love such a person walking in a strange city feeling of the wind, like the freedom to stay out of the detached aimlessly easy, it needs to know where this road leads, do not expect what in front of scenery. Only Bop Road, then walk in thinking beyond the physical mechanical movement Sky to fly. In the survival of the city I do not have such calm and composure, but here as a passing, reckless so reckless.
Tianshui is known as known as the small south, compared with Maijishan Grottoes standing on the vast desert on the Mogao Grottoes, Yulin Grottoes, topography and style are all close to the beautiful luminous Jiangnan. From a distance, like an invading Wu Li said that the rocks and boulders Maijishan, is a layer of a layer of chiseled out of the ancients, and I do not know if this is a myth factor. We went Maijishan Forest Park, the snow had been made a more than a month, regardless of the ground, trees, mountains everywhere covered with snow blanketed by trees, no matter from which angle viewfinder, is a wonderful landscape painting . The whole journey we have been in a rush to hurry into, often an attraction not have thoroughly enjoyed themselves, they were forced to leave the time. By Maijishan, due to road closures we are unable to go to the snow fairy spring, watching the leisure travel a lot. Build snowmen, have snowball fights, no time for such a long time to do or not the conditions of the game for us to return to the simple and carefree youth. Even though there are details to be run-in, which lie spontaneously formed a team of travel is still very successful, promote collaboration, friendship and mutual respect, teamwork, getting along in just 11 days, the forged a profound friendship. Travel is not only to see a landscape, more often, we savor a difficult encounter in daily life of the mind calm and relaxed and harmonious interpersonal relationships.
Travel near the end of wandering people packed up and ready to return the city to survive near the train station filled with a restless mood, our hearts are also surging with very fond memories from the situation Biexu. And this scenario seems to be the last night we went to the square fireworks, firecrackers Tingna ringing off, look at the air at first raw moment between downtown and the dreams vanished, I thought of all the fireworks of the story, reminded of the past, all the parting parting of the fragments, remembered Annie said that the perfect full stop, perhaps in relation to this point, an end.
