Back to Lanzhou, misfortune.

The evening, slipped back into the public alley, would like to eat a bowl of beef noodles Ma Lu. Unexpectedly, the side hall door closed, a tranquility. One asked, I discovered that Ma-lu do anything to the evening business, the afternoon will have to play a molten, an early break went.

I thought to wonder: such a good business, stood a lot of money does not make a profit, do not fool? Turning back to one thought: Jesus? Also yes, the money that things will never make endless, exhausting Leihuo figure what? Is not a comfortable figure do? Say anything more, the money we earn, why bother have T? into their own purses.

Remembered a story, saying that Hong Kong has been like family lived in remote areas, their dumplings do particularly well, every year there are always a number of dignitaries and the wealthy to specify the dumplings, in short supply. It was later the name of their brands selling dumplings in the city. The son heard an urgent, they have to go to court. Do you think the parents how to say this. He said that people are to eat, and we litigate, do not put other people's rice bowls smashed, and we take a step back, not to feed several people do, say the package anyway and we could not finish those dumplings, so why bother? We left a way out to the bar. It seems an ordinary person, who frighteningly generous parents.

However, I thought that the parents are very wise. Now this world, how to compete a lot of smart people, but people must understand the interdependence of people do not much understand the wisdom of group life and even fewer people.

Nag home, may also be considered a bar.

Other hand, possession of his wisdom is not wisdom,咱stomach can Buxing Le, Xining's Liuxiang patch has all gone belly strong protest. Can not hastily, looking for a restaurant to go drilling. A la carte, tea, smoking, food ... ... be a on-to-know well, a taste, Taihushangdang, hitting every one of our ancestors!

According to my experience, and this theory is rotten restaurant owner will not have any results, and had to bite the bullet and eat it. Bah, mouthful of strange odor, and quickly pay leave. When we go out, the boss kept highly piled smile, straining, said: "Welcome to the next visit ... ... welcome to the next ... ..."

Bah! Next? The next free ride did not come.

Bought a yogurt pot shabu mouth, with great difficulty only pressure of cross-breath.

Lesson: where the dinner, be sure to go to the name or names snack restaurant, or at least the locals agree that the restaurant, and never to what nameless shop, or buy the same yuan is completely different services.

Late Night by K657 times Gansu, tomorrow morning to Jiayuguan.

The Great Wall first pier (2002/8/24)

Jiayuguan is up.

Approached the Jiayuguan, solemn, desolate, sad, depressed feeling of the oil, however, to the. Sky, clouds falls, the ground, the vast Gobi Desert endless.

Prior to the first pier.

The first pier is the Great Wall and the first piers, called the first pier is the western starting point of the Great Wall, located in the south of Jiayuguan discuss Lai River.

Discuss Lai River, Jiayuguan's mother river, from the Qilian Mountains in the outflow stream by the year long, a surge of snow actually in the expansive Gobi Desert blanking out of a deep 100 meters, long hundred miles of the river bluff, the gray In the vertical cliff under the water slowly pop. Standing on the cliffs, watching the flowing river under the cliffs, like a skyscraper standing on top looking at the foot of the traffic, and some dizziness.

The first pier built in the discuss depends on the cliffs above the river, long width of fourteen or fifteen meters high is about 78 meters. It is south of the cliff 82 meters deep. Great Wall in the north is connected to the first paragraph of walls, walls straight toward the vast Gobi crossed out, the more cross the border town, then north, began its journey thousands of miles, until thousands of miles away in Liaoning Shanhaiguan.

The first pier is the Great Wall, as pioneered by the Great Wall in recent years. For centuries past, the mountains and rivers rheology, the passage of time, the first pier is still in its stubborn shadow, stands proudly discuss rely on the river cliff on the left to wind and sand play, re-melt snow and ice.

Climbed the first pier, looked and looked.

Lai discuss the foot of the river, rolling eastward, in the Gobi Desert on a large cut out of a deep river valleys, winding for access to the remote. The horizon of the Qilian Shan mountain range, Trip Nanling, towering mountain peaks, faintly discernible. Monju across the mountains, large hills and mountains, broad, deep, magnificent and fat weight, the mountain and the beauty of the earth bare head. Around the vast expanse of the boundless Gobi desert, empty profile and the bleak, distant trains like ants crawling slowly like the Gobi Desert.

The wind, dust Yang Sha Fei stone walk, water, sobbing, grass bleak. "The green and wild and fog, wind-swept pastures see the cattle and sheep."

Unconsciously, in a poem.

Cantilever the Great Wall ((2002/8/24)

I gasped, struggling to climb the Great Wall to the top of the beacon tower of the cantilever, Jiayuguan faction the scenery.

Shine the Qilian Mountains distant peaks, such as the beautiful woman came down, flickering; near Montenegro, it seems a traditional Chinese ink landscape ferocious, insolent and ferocious.

Mountains, the sky, under a look boundless Gobi grassland, large like a huge carpet. This blanket head is yellow, and then far, is the yellow-green, and then far, dark green, dark green carpet at the end, is a smoothing horizon. A blur outside the horizon, is constantly changing clouds. Weather changes on the horizon, the emergence of a ray of Colts Yan, growing more and more near, the last cavalry parties to form a magnificent team, a large carpet in the spacious Mercedes-Benz ... ... rough

Burst of wind blowing, the immediate cavalry washed clean, leaving only a yellow-green carpet and the ear the sound of high winds kick into gear.

Yamashita Huangcao Poplar Camp nod in the wind, and little sparrow hopping on the yellow walls, the wind from time to time came Liangsheng donkey sounds.

The distance, Gobi Desert on the roll played a white storm, horizon, clouds are still changing the color of the earth, quiet, as at the child.

Jiayu with big (2002/8/24)

Vast expanse of the Hexi Corridor, where Lai has been living off the river and south of the north of Montenegro, squeeze over, compressed into San Shili space. In San Shili space, Jiayuguan scratch, as if a large lock, the Hexi Corridor firmly locked.

If the first pier is the Zuoquan Jiayuguan, the Great Wall is its Youquan cantilever, while the Jiayuguan City is its head.

Its head, arrogant and ambitious. Each line in the desert in the Middle East who approached off the city, watching the majestic towers and walls bearing, discipline, without exception, by its mighty momentum of the rigorous shock and awe. Jiayuguan, they have been known as the "best in the world with big."

Jiayuguan City, the construction, its unique features.

Guan city built on mountains, mountains and city of seamless, usually soldiers stationed in the mountains, war can be transferred to stick to the inner city. Inner-city tower peaks, design sophistication, is a move forward and attack or retreat and defend a large military garrison. The inner city square, the size of three football pitches, four sides of the tall solid walls. More than ten meters high walls, compaction of loess, wall turret, watchtower, watch tower, there are large arrows stamp, wall Road to Happy Valley, there are horses under the Road and the city connected to wartime cavalry from the city fighting directly onto the wall.

Simon Kwan city name "Rouyuan door", meaning "soft to Zhiyuan"; Gate name "photochemical door", meaning "light bold aesthetic." Two in the name of a very good taste, no hint of chill of the air. Two sets of doors have a large Urn care. Even if enemy soldiers scored Barbican, Barbican, on beating the wooden Rolling Stones, bows and arrows pronged approach is Wengzhongzhuobie, no matter how you offer all kinds of martial arts, has cast shall not be within the Barbican.

"Rouyuan Gate", the additional of a Rochester, wide and tortuous Rochester to closely guard the door Rouyuan included. In ancient times is called "heavy town and keep" (ie, overlapping Twins guardian). Rochester, Rouyuan door, Gwanghwamun built a tower on top of all, the richly ornamented tower, brackets stacked weight, flying volley Pavilion, three towers in the blue sky, the very powerful and majestic, three towers, together with their walls, constitutes a the most classic pattern of Jiayuguan.

The stamp standing Jiayuguan watchtower on the walls and glance out the four sides of the Gobi Desert is boundless, endless, a bleak, mournful sense of Wu, however, to. Frontiers of the officers and men who have dedicated weapons, standing on the walls, the day and night, the face of the vast Gobi, wind and sun bear. This uprooted, lonely lonely, sweet, who is also having a hard time off.

I was standing on the watchtower, blankly looking at the city's incomparable under the desolate Gobi Desert. Suddenly, the enemy's horse speeding, growing and becoming more everywhere, cavalry Gordon out, dust Bitian ... ... a grabbing, the walls and flags flying high, the soldiers sword in hand, arrow in the string, vigilant; the city's open space, people are crying masi, the cavalry is lined up, ready to strike ... ... War II imminent!

Lurches violently, a loud shout: "Dunhuang tours, the collection here!"

END! Was no more.

Down the tower, touching the wall in a huge section of the stone, foot within the gates faint of quartzite, can not help but right here, the builder had a deep respect, and in this barren land to build such a great project, how difficulties, how hard! In the walls, the Zhuanfeng in stone articles, as if to see who the people were conscripted into roads lead to bloody and praised both hands sweat.

Jiayuguan construction, there are many legendary legend, regarded as the most famous, "scheduled for bricks," "Ice Road transport stone" and "goat pack brick" story.

"Set bricks" said the construction of Jiayuguan City is not only first-class, but the calculation of material is also very accurate, full-city construction is good, just more than just a piece of brick. This piece of brick placed Simon's going to be very door, as a Jiayuguan City, set bricks.

"Ice Road transport stone" that was the fact that the transport of stone to build a big gate very difficult. Later fairy Tuomeng winter with irrigated Road, frozen into the ice Road, used to transport the stone section to solve the transport problems.

"Goat pack brick" puzzle that is the stamp in the wall, the bricks from the wall at the end of transported to the wall, workers are very difficult. A child come up with ways to use goat Tuo Zhao Yun on the brick wall, so that works greatly accelerate the speed. (Alas, this legislation Waer nor a third class, what a shame.)

The sun sets, in the afterglow of sunset, good-bye to Jiayuguan city.
Night, by T295 second cars, to Urumqi.

(Off the city only camera allowed to camera, once discovered, a fine of 2500 yuan. Xiongguan irresistible temptation in the next, I braved the "dangerous", carried out covert operations, if a fine ... ... can be disaster. )

Added:

You Jiayuguan, there is a scene cut can not be ignored. Namely, the east Chengguan "yue chuen flowing water." This Unit 9 Spring is the lifeblood of the city of Jiayuguan, initially able to build off of this, only been the mouth活泉. Water is irrelevant. Otherwise, a strong enemy force, the Jiayuguan like Ma Su's Jie Ting Fort, only wait for their demise. Today, this stock活泉are irrigated the vicinity of the mu green. Tourists passing rippling blue waves, white goose cruising the lake, was her contemporary works.
