At 8:30 on July 21 starting from Ningbo, just finished night shift a bit tired of the feeling, do not imagine the excitement, before the journey has become a very distant vision. I leaned back on the two video after we went to Shanghai.
Because there is no booking, pre-class train ticket did not get it. We decided to go to Xi'an.
From Shanghai to Xi'an takes about a day or so, that was a night on the train.
That I do not mind used to Well on the night shift. Xiu said that he had sat in college train oil, the fact that he was indeed veteran. The space under the seat is that he found. Take a few newspapers, a shop, stays in his back with both hands, one energetically, steadily the meter eighty's body curled into the chair next. I do like playing blocks, turn a blind eye Meditation. Middle of the night it began to rain, roof leak, and
Tang Shui down, just drop in the seat next to me, the rain stopped, some people sit, I drowsily awoke several times and found that those who chairs River constantly changing, feeling very strange.
Woke up around 5:00 am, the car window, and no major change in scenery, goat numbers rose, and some climbed the hillside eating the grass, no wonder called the goat, I would worry for them, for fear that they fall to their deaths. Night Train to be an experience to sit, wash to catch an early, or simply wait for someone else after it's happened, and so on up is very annoying.
Xi'an later, we immediately began looking for hotels, found near the train station Xitou Fang Trinidad and Tobago, Miss Yi Men who are selling real laugh, very exposed sitting, feed the land cried, I was very calm, and repair seems to be shy appearance, head down just Jianqian.
Checked into a hotel as soon as it was recommended to us day tour, sub-West Line, East Line. Our plan is to Terra Cotta Warriors, Huaqing Pool, and the ancient city wall, listening to the economy, he says, quite temporary seductive,
Had made a big mistake.
We pulled the coach should first eight wonders of the world, the former seven needless to say is false, is also a model of terracotta warriors and horses did not expect. Then the Mausoleum, tour guides called the strongest artistic, false.
Several failed to eat lunch on board, Akira for a long time, saw some wax people a bit upset. Under the guarantee of a guide is true, came before Tomb, Tomb is in fact only on the fief, climb overlooking the imagination underground mausoleum, rather nostalgia to ponder. However, the door can also be seen, save money. Then eat, expensive death, the local saying goes, to "get rich depend on Qin Shi Wang." Therefore, tourism still have to have their own ideas and tour routes are often seemingly convenient one-stop slaughtering plant.
Be able to see the value of the terracotta warriors and horses also. Makes the deepest impression is the one riding and shooting, like, time seems to stop the flow of his expression, action, perfect, quite a satisfactory level. Hall on the 3rd, when there are many broken soldier figurines unearthed, stump broken bodies, broken horse's body, like the smoke of the battlefield after the quite tragic, as if soldiers struggling out of figurines from the loess, in the face of the sun fragmentation of the moment.
From Xi'an to Dunhuang need for a day or so, it is necessary to spend the night on the train, with the last experience so much easier. Around 7:00 am to Jiayuguan, and we got out.
After the first cantilever chartered the Great Wall, too early to open the door failed, the driver let us go on the road since childhood.
The so-called trail is climbing the cliff, originally posted up along the foot wall is not less dangerous,
We were too excited, straight to go up, climb into the upper and lower half of the dilemma there is a feeling - a very steep cliff, the surface is gravel. Revised a lot more than I, over the wall Huokou safe arrival.
I am very careful to go step by step along the water leak, and the crackers out, and dallying reach its destination. Repair that my feet were shaking, and tired Well, after all, pay over, and
Is not easy. Hsiu says here can be closed it as "dead land", I said next-bit climbers can be happy, and half on the water to drink, cookies, edible.
Cantilever on both sides of the Great Wall is the vast Gobi, and year-round crown snow Qilian Mountains, near the mountains black, seems to be Montenegro. Gobi plants almost did not last long, from the ancient to the present is like that. Knight roaring, with hunger and thirst and exhaustion, fell into the food and water, then disappeared in the Gobi Desert, Gobi's indifference people are struck by the feeling of desolation.
Vertices on to the most After the Qilian Mountains on the see more clearly. Snow makes it seem mysterious, as if there is another world, and put it asked the driver, he said that the snow-capped mountains to five hundred, above, extremely cold, the day before yesterday Jiayuguan rain, the mountain is the snow.
Beacon Jiayuguan in the vicinity there are many sites, the Great Wall first pier for the most. Overlooking the ancient river Liangbi Gao Qian Chi (exaggerated a bit, seven, 80 meters bar), was reportedly under construction in preparation for Liangbi ropeway between the planes.
We saw the ancient city wall in Xi'an, quite vigorous, the south gate people actually produce a feeling of constriction, so wanted to compare, and Jiayuguan. Amendments would also like to compare the two structures.
The passage of the new repair of the gate, it tries for a while went to the Jiayuguan. Xi'an ancient city built on by the masonry, Jiayuguan is the loess surface, so the whole fortress yellow. Overall it seems a square, even the Great Wall, to Qilian Mountains, Montenegro for the River, the Gobi surface, the terrain is extremely advantageous.
Xi'an ancient city under siege a week, Jiayuguan more like a base, closed square. We went to export, found that the exit of the tower of Jiayuguan is the real main tower. Concluded that in order to repair the ancient city of Xi'an, known for momentum, while the Jiayuguan wins in the terrain.
By car straight out of Jiayuguan Dunhuang. Before travel read some information on the Dunhuang City do not have much fantasy to feel quite busy after, many people. Looked on the small farms, vegetables are eggplant, tomato-based meat Tingduo, there are fish, much like the South river carp.
Monotonous. Resident rooms, many of brick made of loess do not know no resistance to anti-rain. Local color is very dark, there are a number of Aunt took to the streets when their own face masks with a towel and cover the Yanyanshishi. The idea is not the same as the original, where the temperature is not high, 20 bar several times, but the strong ultraviolet radiation.
Into the Mogao Grottoes, a guided tour took us. The first is Cangjing Dong, light inside the cave is very dark,
In order to protect the mural only allowed to use flashlight. Even so, the lines of frescoes still gives me the feeling of dizziness. Cave No. 249 in particular, the movement feels very strong. Mogao Grottoes is not a cursory can understand this time is the only secret. To leave behind stuffy, and various image slowly faded, grasping is also not catch.
Seemed more empty feeling, as if that space is a true non-stop rotation.
Noon to the Thousand-Buddha Grottoes. The cave where the relatively early age, rather crude, but in many boutique, in a Six Dynasties there are some Buddhist cave paintings very special, and I land obsessed with viewing,
A very dark inside the cave tour guide thought that people had sneaked away put the locks, and hear our busy playing the door opened the door.
We joke that you can enjoy the treatment of cultural relics.
Author's name in most non-mural examination, it is conceivable that their living environment is very bad.
Like the terracotta warriors and horses of the authors, is inversely proportional to the environment and achievements in the arts, it seems less personal freedom, the greater the work space. In view of the riding and shooting as the terracotta warriors and horses, when there is this question was the state of slavery to produce such a magnificent work?
We are riding a bicycle to Mingsha. Into the yellow sand is the flooring, watching a seat gentle sand hill can not help but excited. Mingsha line, there are two, one camel perimeter, and second, by virtue leg muscles to climb sand hills. 20 Several of the young man, of course whichever is later. Light foot on the sand so cool, warm. Climbed halfway up the mountain some dizziness, a good look down the high slopes, as Daoxue like,
Is actually rolling down does not matter what the injury less than a psychological effect. Climbed them first a bit used to it, we'll follow to the peak of a few Qingdao embarked. To the final every step Duli pull Qian-jun, or not quite right. Is already at about eight o'clock, and looked like the south at dusk. Unspeakable lighting changes.
Is a slide down to go down, like boating. When playing back a sand-boarding, sitting on bamboo to the fall. Spray a face full of sand. Xiu play very smoothly, I am down to one third stopped, and had their backs up skateboarding again, this thought will be revised ridiculed a few words, can not think of a straight face, to me a few strokes, to his feet to make its this way, which makes it ... ...&%(_+${)$#@@+++++
Out of the door and bought a large cup almonds in water, dry dead.
Snack Street in downtown night eat a meal. Sitting in an open-air seats, the hand-held mutton string,
Almond drinking water, feeling very noble.
The next day we went out about the sixth day, and I parted ways and the repair, he continued to sets and preparing to Urumqi. I pack up to go home, squeezing time to look at the Nanjing line.
Station in Nanjing, the car was almost breathe, too hot. Bought a map and found a very well-developed public transportation in Nanjing, basically every famous attractions can take the bus to reach. I first went to Yuhuatai, Yuhuatai is vertical monuments, statues and to the entry of the People's Heroes Monument to the end of a museum. On both sides of the garden, the ancient Yuhuatai momentum Tingda. Yuhuatai and topography combine well, feels very natural. Mausoleum The same is true. Roughly divided into four areas to hills gate is separated from the steps Tingduo corridor to the top provides a panoramic view Nanjing King. Because of the situation and lead can be said that the Nanjing architectural features. Mausoleum where a lot of Cantonese, like a pilgrimage.
Zhongshan scenic impressive in a lot. Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is quite good. Preservation of access ramps and Si Fangcheng, other mostly destroyed by war, and its pattern of impact on future generations deeply Mausoleum there is a shadow.
Nanjing's historical sites can be seen everywhere, Ming Palace ruins became a park, retaining the Meridian Gate, covered with climbing plants, dense natural.
Plum Village, the presidential palace when passing by saw two, but added the troops residential street impressive, made of brick, neat and have a sense of history.
Night, planned to go to Qin Huai River, marked on the map in Stone near to just find a nearby wall, said playing with the driver can not see near the river, a wet blanket. Had to skip. Yu Pingbo, Zhu Ziqing pulp in the Qinhuai sound Dengying Where My son? Qinhuaibayan crying laughing off Qinhuai Where My son?
Xuanwu Lake is very general, in addition to Phi Hung wounded in Xuanwumen, enjoy the cool air to many people. It was way back fighting, Nanjing, people feel cold, especially for foreigners. Tall girl in Nanjing, Xinjiang, said a girl can not help but mention the girl, eyes, rounded face is reminiscent of the grape, really charming. Wuxi girl was saying good listen, I bought a bottle of mineral water,
A salesperson said, go to Nong 3 money, endless, and took me to the halo, the money will not the.
Yanziji from the map the terrain is very advantageous point of view, face the Yangtze River, and excitedly went, much better than this, at least not imagine spectacular.
Nanjing's ancient city wall of protection is not very good, war is too frequent, fragmented.
The afternoon of Wuxi. After the return to Ningbo, and people chat with the Nanjing Massacre remembered on the map closer look to find a memorial hall, in the suburbs, it seems many people have forgotten that part of history, including me.
In Nanjing, and a teacher and rent a room in Sichuan, Wuxi and one live. Feelings are particularly freedom. The evening stroll the street, despite the very modern shopping centers in Wuxi, the city's overall feeling is like a bazaar. Shopping centers outside the building quite old, the road is not very clean. Is a lively, coming and going. I found a lot of ballroom, Wuxi of the consumer goods industry is really well developed.
Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal from time to time, the ship continued. Has been reached Xi Hui Bridge, the bridge is very open line of sight. Nanjing, the direction of a lot of rain clouds gathered, lightning across from time to time, are struck by the feeling of sitting watching situation.
In the Taihu Lake to spend a long time. Look in the morning Yi (other words, playing not, that is, with the Hermitage and the beauty of that scope what) Park, Rong ancestors at reduced, depending on water corridors built well, everywhere water color, Maner Ocean Waves. He was reportedly built after a Mr. Park, that this garden was beautiful, but no mountains, sub-gardens Tao. So-jung old man a rockery was built specifically added. It's a bit too Chuanzao, and at least unnatural.
Taihu Lake water is not deep, and waves, lake open. The tour boat is quite Haomiao was intended. Zhu Xiandao go or not does not matter in general.
In a hurry, did not go to Lingshan Giant Buddha, I am sorry. The train back to Ningbo, there are some at a loss, do not know if this is the end of the journey is still beginning.
