Return westbound many thoughts in mind, casually painted a few strokes. Is purely a number of tedious running account with the feelings of some far-fetched, I am talking nonsense, are you blind to see. Must be able to help you travel a little bit busy, and also the of my wish.
Nonsense is not to say, 6 am to buy a train ticket from Hangzhou to Shanghai, then take the express from Shanghai to Xi'an. Because Shanghai to Xi'an express only the next morning at eight to almost the same departure time from Hangzhou to sit idle in the past than the one per cent more during the day to play.
The train to Xi'an, cold, followed by Chinese New Year at home during the coldest time of almost. Fortunately, the Dunhuang had heard that there are sub-zero temperatures, where the recent, well-prepared, with a pile of clothes. Just arrived in Xi'an, God would give us a Xiama Wei, it began to rain. His next to his rain, and we have to in order to move forward the revolutionary cause. Put a deposit luggage at the train station and immediately started. Xi'an Railway Station is really like the line described in a number of Posts a bit chaotic, soliciting more than the car thieves, a group of people gathers around you Jijiwaiwai. We would like to tour the West line of the original, but a long way to go to West line, back and forth there are more than 200 kilometers, than an earlier bus departure, we did not found, while the east line of the vehicle, plethora, and then we will be on the one China and Pakistan go first eastern front. East line a passing through four spots, Li Shan, underground palace, Qin Mausoleum, Terra Cotta Warriors. Lishan Mountain Forest Park is to admonish soldiers, Zhang Yang and Chiang Kai-shek at the general; underground palace was a later imitation, being insipid; or should we look at the latter two, although many people say that the Qin Mausoleum is a large mound, boring tight, but if who are interested you can climb up to launch the imagination, think about you under their feet tread the endless treasures to enjoy a bitter spirit.
The next day take the West Line of the points are Xianyang Museum (Han Dynasty Terracotta Warriors and Horses), Maoling (mainly to see the tomb of Huo Qubing burying), Itoku Prince tomb, Qianling, Famen Temple. Qianling is still feeling the best, in which the terrain is indeed magnificent. The famous statue of horse riding Huns in Maoling, working and normally Well, the main value lies in its sense of patriotism. Itoku Prince of Pei Zangmu Qianling tomb is, this is my first time under the tomb Road, is very curious, so feel pretty good. Famen Temple is mainly to see the Buddha's finger bone relic, just returned from Taiwan to come back, when the plane in Taiwan, when a lot of people kneeling before the relic, painful tears of a few, the power of faith is boundless.
The third day of departure to the Huashan, railway stations have direct bus wanted to climb in the Dongshan Fu-cableway ride to the Western Hills gate. Of course, the young Well, certainly is an uphill啦. Pull themselves up almost noon, the weather was gloomy. Not many people up the hill, disappear as soon Ins and Outs Panic, Xixi. Single-minded thinking and climb mountains, do not feel tired, plus take a rest stop-and soon, full of 1 / 4, 1 / 2 points (marked, and all shops along the way the legislation before) were more than 11. After a 1 / 2 the distance, mountain has only just begun in front of a relatively flat at best, could be considered. With the location of a gradual shift, in front of night scenery is not all the time for change, more and more majestic, and this time, Huashan began showing its true face. Hundred feet into the cliff Qianchi buildings, and how can there be nothing dangerous at all, as long as your hands can hold of chains, then there is no problem at. Then could not walk as long, to the north peak, scenery really good, Everywhere you look south, the other four peaks are in front was like a gold ingot. At this time about four o'clock, people Tingduo because North Peak is a cableway to reach point, it can be said is an indispensable part of the Department. Continue upward, after a scaling ladder (steeper than the Qianchi buildings, there is no problem), is the famous black dragon Ridge, and look a look, but it is spectacular cliffs on both sides of the ridge above the open a path, but the spectacular does not mean danger hands grasp the chain wanted to fall to really be difficult. Guo soryu Ridge, that is to throw the book of Han Yu's Office, the dignified scholar I remember when John is in tears on the spot to do here? Then road far from now, able to come here before opening cry, quite well! That is slightly up to five Yunfeng, this time the sun in order to gradually west, I am afraid then further into the accommodation problem (does have a place to live, who knows what black is not black), so camp five Yunfeng Hotel, due to the off-season, one 30, the cattle freshman sleeping room, enough to have 20 beds, has four. Sitting on the bed, looking out the window is straight Xifeng, it is one of the beautiful sunset scenery. Cold, a white mouth are exhaled gas right away companions rented a military overcoat. The gang in broad daylight will be indented a blanket, listening to those people go on the afternoon of that this afternoon the mountain snow. Snow! To stay in Hangzhou for several years gone, where they had wanted to die. Began to eat something silly, we chat. Kan for a while to eight, to open sleep. For a long time never tried to sleep so early, and still only a few of us, each person brought regarded clinical mattress quilt, one sleeping two, and then I add so Otherwise, this is not even think about fall asleep in the evening. Starting from 4:50 next day bed, up the mess after the cold, all the people that have to rent the military coat, but I firmly believe that as long as the walk up, it will not be too cold, it definitely will become a military overcoat on the road behind the revolution a stumbling block. But the days still dark, flashlight is a must rent, and they ended up 10, I could buy a mountain, and no way, working people would have been so helpless bourgeoisie exploited. The restaurant people say that today the weather is not good, do not see the sunrise, and later proved that there is no white group of people to stay in the mountains. Also living with several people went so far as a U-turn to go back to sleep. Not previously Heidengxiahuo climbing experience, had originally Tingmei good. Jinsuoguan passed on to the peak assigned to each fork in the road, of course, to Dongfeng. Last night did some snow in the woods all along the vast expanse of whiteness, and in some the water edge of a cliff have also seen an icicle, a long absence, the! Passing the peak when the companion has suffered deeply coat, angrily retreated in peak coat, ran 10 yuan surcharge travel, hey, really suits them. So advises newcomers, resistant to the anti-, in some places is very cumbersome to wear coats, such as the ladder on the Dongfeng. Sunrise did not as, it is regrettable. In the forward line, they arrive at that legendary Yaozi emancipated, and how many people are kept away from a bite the go, the result is the word "disappointed" or goes, as long as the hand is good, grip is maintained chains, there is no问题. The biggest problem here is that there are several places to completely eat the hand, foot useless. Go to the board on the kiosk, if a little fog, this place is really like a fairyland in general. Continue to move forward is on the south side of the road by Peak road is not difficult to walk. By Nantian Gate, here is a well-known insurance office - the sky Plank Road. In Pro cliff cliff, on a path paved with wooden planks, the cliffs trimmed with two chains, but the cliff side without any protective measures, one looks down really thrilling. I think that Yao Zi stand up to see strength, while the sky Plank Road lies in the psychological, or the latter be regarded as a risk, but it seems difficult to turn around some of the locals say that Yao Zi. Two insurance Guan and how they, and bad mood. Up from the Plank Road, the section of the road and then walk back onto the south peak of the other way can go to the mountain's highest point, 2160 meters. In a few Xifeng, then back to hotel. Huashan Road, walk down circumvent, but also some different scenery, we can not to miss. Circumvent Huashan Road is not difficult to walk, but there are two vertical slope along the road, there are chains son. Although a good way to go, but the effect may not, if they accidentally dropped a wrestle, roll-on roll 2, it would only go down the mountain to look for you. Coming down the mountain by car out of the mountains and then change cars back to Xi'an, Huashan on such a trip is over. Two days will be very abundant, all the attractions can go to a lot of people are climbing at midnight on the grounds belonging to Huashan is too dangerous, are not afraid of climbing at night, so I think you will lose more than you get a little more than a sense of security a lot.
Because in advance on the intention to spend the night at Huashan, so should first go to Huashan Hotel before being retired, and some do not have the baggage up the hill the first place hotel. Back to the hotel, my old bed had been, and is a Japanese, sub-small, back of the bag were greater than others. The Japanese are funny, then two days old and poor-mouth in front of me and said how how your train ticket in China, he said he can only sit Zuobu Qi hard seat sleeper. I have lived here a few days ago when the one in Singapore two days ago, always come back very late, I fell asleep, and has been unable to talk on the early come back today, finally, he said it was a taxi driver annual dry-run for six months to play out all over the world for half a year, it is to heart of a person, more than 30 fast 40 people and you still not married, saying it was unwilling to subject the amount of interdependence (marriage really do, nervous). He also took out all his equipment to SHOW the one, two digital cameras, an amateur a professional, as if there is a lot of CF cards, Microdrive can be used a Pocket PC (Casio E125), there are a mess a bunch of things, good envious. Still later the only one empty bed room came a Japanese friend, quite handsome (and hey, want to Why, you do not you?), Four people inside on his standard of English that is also a backpacker, After graduation, he was also out all over the world stroll in England spent 4 months, and then to Italy and Thailand lap wandered here, this life really beautiful! Can be considered to fate, a room of four, are a bunch of self-help tourists, but also from different countries, to sit together from different places to McCain, but also never had such experience.
The next day, the morning of the first to buy tickets, peer directly back to Hangzhou, I bought a ticket to Jiayuguan, 24h express buy anything, and sit idle to 30h, forbearance bar. Then went to the city's Forest of Stone Tablets Museum and the Shaanxi History Museum, right when the rest.
12, a rare Lanjue sleeping in the afternoon to sit in one afternoon Xingqing Park purely to pass the time, lacks meaning, the way to the taste of a National Chiao Tung University's style (on the opposite side). Back to the hotel took luggage, proceed to the train station, I was 22 o'clock car partner is the next morning back to Hangzhou and stay one more night, then I am only one way, and was also very ill at ease when the. To the train station, or a luggage deposit, found a cafe (good well) mixed with an hour to go back, The time is right.
Found that vehicles on the bus quite a mess, many working for. As the psychological effect on everyone guard. After a night in the car, the second day of the car a Lanzhou, in front of the very different landscape, and this is the real West, could see the scenery can only be described as bleak. The Gobi Desert near the distance of the Qilian Shan mountain range. Occasionally skirted the shepherd sitting on a hillock, the guardian of the distant grazing sheep, for this endless desolation added a touch of anger, but it was more angry Chen Chu of the desolation.
In the evening, a sudden temperature drop, and this is the weather here, the characteristics of big temperature difference between day and night. The distance and see the magnificent snow-capped mountains. Further down, the sun goes down ... ... 4:00 minutes, the station had. The original assumptions huge waiting room I was the only one sitting alone scenario does not appear, is still quite busy, find a personal question to ask of the local tourist attractions to finalize the trip. 6:00 am, Wang Menwai walking, playing off a car to Jiayuguan City, 13 or so inquiries into more than 15 yuan lower a bit, but the city has not closed the door, drivers are added to the 20 yuan could go the Great Wall section a pier to see if sending it I came back, think one can do, to the first pier, the sun not yet out, here, at least seven more years out of the sun. The immediate scenery is indeed awesome, the vast Gobi Desert into the soil structure of the party stands a mound, imagine, in the days when not bright (this is important), a person standing alone in the Gobi where (I let the driver in a very far away to stop and let myself come in), is the ancient Great Wall in front of the first beacon tower, and years of erosion had been allowed to suffer broken mess of a sudden, I realized that in the vast span of history in one person's small, my God , I think have been moved! Respect for this feeling, I think it a worthwhile trip.
Desolation is truly a breathtaking beauty of intake, especially the lone time, more desolate beauty of the play to an extreme, because your mind already with a little bleak, it is probably called scenes.
The first pier is still confiscating tickets, I heard that soon to be collected. At that time a barrier fence, original appearance will be exhaustively change, then some regrets. Unfortunately, I'm here to shoot pictures of all underexposed, I hate, I hate Why do not you have to point with a camera. To leave the first pier, back off Jiayuguan City, the driver went so far as to propose an increase this section of track is indeed a lot, hit the table at least more than 30, but not increase the halfway ah. Take a look around the Gobi Desert, a bit nervous (just minutes), and finally say a good 23.
To the Jiayuguan not open the door, asked an old gentleman morning exercises that can enter from the side door, do so (by 20 Haha, I'm not unintentionally Oh, indeed no one ticket Well, now before 7 o'clock, 8 o'clock began selling tickets on , time is precious not waste ah). Enters are some man-made attractions, the real Guan City, is to make a circle surrounded by ancient walls, all the locks on the doors. God ah, is as much below the door side to accommodate one person, but after a gap, but this person was slender, such as I (less than an equal weight for height more than 20 kilograms) may enter the party. Guan City, Barbican inside, the old cable was tight and there is no loophole. Around for quite a few times, passing out of the main tower closed the door, I suddenly heard heavy footsteps, very loud, not me, I go very light. Often billed as a look, I work at the door the door of the gate, due in front of the door closed, so the formation of the echo, roaring sound to do, then this quiet environment, too scary. At this point, but also feelings of Dayton Yi Gu desolate heart, as if that between heaven and earth I was the only one person (students, your feelings such a mess how come so快啊, 1:00 brewing process can not, worse). Pondered on how on the tower to the main tower on the city of stairs, perhaps God really did not want to have this trip in vain, I found that can escape from the stairs from the main tower of erecting barriers on the tower turned into. In vain a world with big, military communications center, a community scholar who actually allow me to dip in and out. Climbed the main tower, looking outside of customs, is full of Gobi, panoramic view of the military fortress of the strategically located and difficult terrain, but then Bingge the iron railings have long been erased history, leaving me feeling alone a person. Sitting on the castle to eat breakfast, experience the marshes sentiment with life, look back off, the sun is rising, but also is a new day. After dinner, made a few messages to the students, telling them that I still exist. Then thinking about how to go out, and backtrack should not, along the way ticket office staff should have in place, and early in the morning not one person came to see you out one to see that you do not hit into the right path. Sat on the city pondered, went so far as to the following staff members should first under the city's staircase door opened, then closed the door open to a surprise away, this is not obvious to let me out of customs Well. Days, why are you so kind to me! Chu Liaocheng, to the outside of the Ming Zhengde years, with big stone in the world to observe a moment there (pretending to look like an implicit meditation for a long time, in fact, had nothing dry), and then walk back around the outside walls.
Back to the export, ready to cantilever the Great Wall, found好难taxi. Jiayuguan, as a tourist city tour of her bus system is still very weak, and to various attractions to the car very little. With great difficulty Xiali cars, on a good chartered to cantilever the Great Wall and the Metro throughout the Wei-Jin tomb 80, was found to be expensive, and less than 80 km is estimated that the whole process should be able to be pressed. Cantilever Wall tickets 8, followed by drivers crawling along with the son of Zhang Ting, the little guy after the uncle, his uncle called before that sweet. Is not very high, but its not hosting package away, carrying a climb up the highest point, or a little tired. At its highest point, was found on a hillside in the mountains get a lot of people out of a variety of stones Lei, text, most of these words I love you, ah. Followed by Metro Wei tomb, the second time under the ramps, which brick painting really very beautiful, than the age of Dunhuang murals sooner, but for a limited visit, only opened a tomb, for me and other non-professionals to said that the 10 minutes looking at almost 30 dollars a ticket ah, coupled with a long, car money out of a half is here, so feel a little worth, it is recommended for such works of art there is not much interested in Students may not come, to save time can go down to the bare cantilever where the mountains climb the Great Wall.
Car back to Jiayuguan bus station, it was noon, Jiayuguan in the play several spots in one morning, went so far as all get that Who does the early departure. Jiayuguan more than 100 kilometers away from the outside of there 71 glaciers, many people go to, if more people can be chartered in the past take a look at the estimated half a day is enough, but the glaciers are also other places, so do not have to insist on . 12 noon to buy tickets to Dunhuang, immediately start!
Left on the road seven hours, nearly 400 kilometers, along the way on both sides of the highway or the side of the Qilian Shan mountain range, while the vast Gobi Desert, and occasionally see the distance of several towering snow-capped mountains. The others are mostly local people, have been numb to this view, and one by one all to sleep, and I am a man sitting alone in cars behind, Zhang with big eyes looking around. Here, you can experience only desolation, but the bleak, is this not a kind of beauty, and that the United States is more intake soul.
Car to Dunhuang, live station, guest houses, one for as long as 15, a good double, and the attendants vowed not to allow another person to live in.. But there are still TV, not read a long time. Take a walk, by the way go well the next day's car, with the same gang of co-pack 12 Changhe facet, 15 yuan, the Mogao Grottoes Mingsha two points. Go to the night market to eat here Sào famous face (General) with the barbecue, which is already fast GMT 9:00 of the sky was still lit. Bath back to the hotel to sleep, too tired to even open until dawn television.
A full day morning, the Mogao Grottoes, Mingsha afternoon at noon take the opportunity Leiyin Si (said to be Journey to the West in a small Leiyin Si), the time is sufficient. In the Mogao Grottoes, with the Road Tour, after reading the 10 caves want to rub a bunch of foreigners to see an open cave, was hit by the administrator stopped out, ah the power of money is said to add 50 to see a cave to be closed, sky-high price to afford. Stroll in the inside for four hours or so, remember to rent only the flashlight, 3, are not expensive. A total went 320,328,16-17 (17 at 16 which is well-known Cangjing Dong, Dunhuang culture sadly also), 259,257 (Jiu Selu legend), 249,96 (Dunhuang first Buddha It seems third year more than 10 meters, is China's third Buddha), 130 (or the Buddha, not in front of large-scale), 148 (Wofo, saying it was the case when the Buddha Nirvana, look at the structure of the cave, like a coffin ) These caves.
Mingsha Mountain climbing pm abnormal excitement, climb sand hills, people say step back half a step, and I did with sandals because of this wise decision benefited one to reduce the pressure is relatively strong in some of the sand Local Rulvpingdi, and secondly, by the midday sun the temperature rises of sand to avoid the hot legs (this is very important, I can not stand wearing sandals, a little bit). In the inside spent four hours (I did not want to stay so long, but this time chartered vehicles but not always waiting for you to pick a good time to talk about), the Ins and Outs read a times, twice before and after the climb the bare in front of the highest sand dunes, have thoroughly enjoyed themselves and go. Puts inside of the rear stop in advance, when a person reached an invisible zone, actually met a foreigner, with meager English-language McCain had a pass. From the sand hills, down, in the car until shaking under a full pound of sand. However, there is one point I was 6 points to clock back, no fancy sand hills, the sunset, a little pity. Mingsha ticket is 50, fun is fun, but a bit expensive, I guess from the next to go around (and I was coming in when there was people from the inside out so to go), as was a 30-Mingsha km wide and 20 km of the small desert can not be all stopped up bar. After going back, roommate said I was a lot of black, it is estimated more than half are Mingsha on the sun, and lesbian remember to bring sunscreen cool.
The last day of 16, chartered to the Jade Gate, the Han Great Wall, ancient river warehouse, or take the car the previous day. Unable to find people eat regularly, only one person chartered to go to expensive, 125, but afterwards think that this is the essence of this trip where the entire nearly 250 km, roads are difficult to walk, because rare, it becomes all the more the United States.
6:30 am departure, day is also black, the hearts of nervous to say that this time we will have to in-depth longitudinal to the Gobi, I am but a man ah, but think of the one driver that's nice, too, and secondly, no fiscal no color, no go to rob someone else has been pretty good, afraid Gesha. Drove dozens of kilometers, the sun rises from the Gobi Desert in, quite spectacular. I think that some of Gobi tour, ah, ah such desert attractions, days when daybreak is the most beautiful, your lonely desolate Reinforced with his dark environment, you imagine the bar! With the drivers say, they are promised, early in the morning and returned early because they can do more business. Then found in the city yesterday, I have a Japanese than we start early, are parked on the roadside camera, but also a person plus a driver, he is not afraid, I am afraid?
This morning, my first experience of what it meant to Gobi sand, too bad. Were the top even walk the wind, like this van Drag relatively large, if you do not brake hand brake to stop even if the wind blow back, the windows have been beaten Pingping do ring, if the face will be out the door the wind very painful.
Drove more than an hour, about 100 kilometers down the road to the Jade Gate, but also the first visitors today, the first title of this out has already pocketed several times. Yumenguan did not stop, first went to River City, warehouses, even after all this section of the road along the pressure in the Gobi on the wheels out of India and forward, simply can not be called as a road, at this time if there are four-wheel drive off-road vehicles, it can really be heaven and earth the wind took it but be careful getting lost. More than a dozen kilometers down the road on the map to open even less than the first, even the drivers did not become lower and lower end, because he said that driving here about two years, and prior to soliciting people came only once, few people will come here. So inaccessible office, but also adding to my curiosity.
Has finally arrived, the confidence will soon be exhausted before. Standing tall in the vast uninhabited valley that was isolated, although only ruins, but America can not erase. More unusual is the city behind, and yet there a lake, small, but in the Gobi, the meaning of life! Against the background between the ancient city of lakes constitute the Gobi in a magical picture. Wind was so strong, people can only make one out of the bus to the clothes shrink, and then move backwards with the wind. I take pictures when the camera is difficult to predict with confidence, there is always this feeling, one let go, the camera will be the wind run. Go around in a circle around the city at heart, or in front of surging recurring feeling.
To leave the river warehouse city, returned to Yumenguan, this time, there are some tourists arrived. Non-degree yumenguan Nazuo spring is now only an isolated castle, and stand in there to receive time-tempered, for posterity Thanks for the Memories. Now the castle has been let into the only lap bypass. Then go to the Han Great Wall, Gansu, Xinjiang, here is the junction, and then there are tens of kilometers, you can go to the famous Mo Guicheng, and unfortunately this did not take place. Seoul City is now able to see only intermittent dilapidated walls, you can see the straw and mud structures. Exasperating is that the camera now has a problem, a critical moment, how can they stuck! Halo! Han Dynasty Great Wall out of the driver when the car went so far as playing a sleepy, which is also terrible, I can only drive when he continued to chat with him to confirm his current state. By the time the West Thousand Buddha Caves want to take the opportunity to take a turn, the driver said, plus five, indeed, the morning and that road trip I have embarrassed even the remote, and so they agreed. Western Thousand-Buddha Grottoes Jingyou is a rare visitor where the ticket office simply did not people have to go over the wall to find the conductor. Tickets 20, to see six caves, because I was the only one person, the conductor became my personal tour guide. Western Thousand-Buddha Grottoes of the original size and age than in the east of the East Thousand Buddha Caves (that is, the Mogao Grottoes) bigger and early, but because the party is located in the ancient river channel, the foundation has been seriously eroded the party's River, resulting in a large number of collapse, damage seriously. Reading the murals along the corridor comes to an end, the party the dry river bed will be displayed in front of, and they should not have a style. The two sides towering cliffs, the river bed over her an underground forest, from a distance, and must not know there was such a paradise here.
Back to Dunhuang, put her luggage from the hotel directly to the resumption of the station by car liuyuan train station, days, even from the city to the train station is 120 kilometers, more than two hours. Evening at eight, is also bright in the days when the jump back to Shanghai Express, in the face, but also more than 40 hours of journey ... ...
End tell the truth, for the first time a person experiences a long journey, feeling good, and harvest a lot more than imagined.
Let me talk about this trip's most impressive scenery, the Great Wall first pier before sunrise, empty off the city of Jiayuguan, as well as the Gobi suddenly emerged in the ancient city of the river warehouse and moved to a small lake next to the people. Their America, the United States in the desolate, the United States in the vicissitudes of life. Huashan is also the United States, but the beauty of the United States and the former is not the same.
The trip also allowed me to appreciate that had previously not experienced by two of the United States. Desolation is the United States, lone is the United States. Bleak and desolate expanse of the Gobi Qi, this desolate made me feel insignificant, but also let my mind has become a vast, coupled with the vast darkness of night, this feeling will be more intense. Walk alone, walk alone allows you to stay away from peers, laughter rumbling, forcing you think, in this thought into, you will get not only the scenery everywhere.
From now on, I fell in love with a lone. Back luggage, and release steps, accompanied by colleagues, music, lone a lone United States, no matter how pleased like.
