Red Star over China (3)
My memory is not very good, anti-trip back to Remembrance of the Hexi Corridor I often irrelevant feelings. However, since the opening of the first, non-stick was not proper.
I wanted to these days listen to your views and writing in order to stimulate me to continue to write down the drive, but obviously, my friends seem to still waiting for the next one story, which I can only advise you not to expect too much or expect too much bias.
Back to September 30 morning, when I asked other people to leave Lanzhou on how this road, they say, well go again. Because our first stop was Wuwei, 280 kilometers, the second leg of Zhangye, Wuwei, 230 km away, which should finish in one day.
Is becoming increasingly fast pace of modern society, we not only complain about Wang Suman, also complained about slow aircraft. But the trip is a different matter, and sometimes want is Renzailvtu feeling. Hey In fact, no one confused in the end we want to hurry up or to slow down a bit.
Soon a Lanzhou, the next high-speed road, on the westbound State Road. I know, that was a strategic highway, because it has been pass to our Xinjiang.
A map of Gansu in the past always find it strange that some people say that it is dumbbell-shaped, I am difficult to understand its body is so long and narrow. In practice, this is the Hexi Corridor.
From Lanzhou to the northwest, on the left is the Qilian Shan mountain range, the right is the desert of Inner Mongolia, in this narrow region, due to the formation of mountain snow to melt down a few more rivers, Ziyu this piece of land, forming a unique agricultural area north-west, At the same time, but also the hinterland of China Xinjiang and Central Asia and Europe leading to the channel. The ancient Silk Road, is just walking. The Hexi Corridor, as property is relatively fertile, but also the ancient agricultural-based Han and other nationalities, mainly to the nomadic fierce battle areas. Do not believe in you Look at names, Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, as well as any bearing on anything off it, all with the Chinese dynasties diligently with a view to guarding the place about.
From Lanzhou to Wuwei, the middle section of about a dozen kilometers of the circuit, it is bumpy. Pebbles everywhere, people say that there is a submarine in the past you believe it?
Read the Confucian Temple in Wuwei and Ray Taiwan Han Tomb, unexpected bronze galloping horse symbol of China's tourism was unearthed here. - In fact, I was the first time that Chinese tourism logo. Horse riding Fei, powerful, powerful.
Have seen a number of mud houses along the way, I really do not know how the people here live. Way back ancient Western Regions of the difficult expedition can only sigh and then sighed. Without these expeditions can be, how can the tranquility of the Mainland. Well, heartbroken people天涯.
Zhangye is the time to the evening. Gansu has the "Golden Zhangye, Wuwei Silver", which means that the two places are very wealthy. Sure enough, Zhangye hotels impression like a dream, Jiangnan, to know that in this northwest, to see the pond and weeping willows, that is how Burongyia.
After dinner, rushed out to buy lip balm, dry weather impatient, my lips chapped harder and harder.
Natural or go clubbing at night, this time they and two other friends from Inner Mongolia. Gang Chu hotel, we have the big brother (known as the "Royal Highness") is called holding back urine, Inner Mongolia's younger brother had to pull any aid, both the moment that the railings outside the hotel to open on the potential scattering.
Livestock, livestock.
I could not find where the bar should carry a can on the one side just a turn, people say, and a look at this bar called the so-called "Dream of the Moon" (which may not be allowed to remember), right under the bar, behind Royal Highness opened cavity, "generous point, for others a money!"
It really makes people fascinated by the bar in Zhangye. Europe and the United States put the popular classic, open the wine list, the preferred red wine, the most expensive 48, 10 only the cheapest money! God fair, Lanzhou, although this place dry, fruits may be others Well, even the seeds are delicious.
Lanzhou, Zhangye to foreign flavor is much more than that, people grow spirit, seems to be particularly educated young man. Laid them out for quite a few bar tables, is giving a young birthday, I can not help in the past done a cup.
What we want is wine and melon seeds, and three open-Kan. Is also a troubled young people, unknowingly wander what the Korean War, the pull incredible, what Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution, China-US relations in Afghanistan Saddam Hussein all have come. From the bar back to the time is already 2:30 at night, and may be due to a Royal Highness began to sleep in the spirit of a small bar particularly vigorous almost kidnapped me back to their room to continue to criticize me and his little brother.
3:30, I Dangling crawl back into bed, dim inside Royal Highness directed at me his hand: "I declare, you are an existing counter-revolutionary."
