Our Naxi friend - hills finally came, speaking also very interesting to know him is blurred by the network --- the only one we know fraternal peoples friend. He was wearing a striking red hat, the above is a big footprints pattern --- this is a sign of travelers. His people are very thin, a heavy smoker, in Lijiang wind was obviously thin and cold. He is actually a very warm and enthusiastic friend, but to be honest, this first impression and we imagine that not the same, this is our first contact with a person's impression of Lijiang.
The first step of course, to go first to a temporary home, whether he is or what hotel. Hill's recommendation (in fact we know nothing about at the moment is right Lijiang), we checked into the Old City the edge of a Family Inn: and's Inn --- because of the price for us, is still very appropriate, in addition, the most important in, you can also experience the lives of ordinary residents of the Naxi, double benefit.
Pear and I am very pleased that almost all the tourist guides, Gong Lue, both referred to this point, that is, in Lijiang, the best accommodation is all over the streets and alleys of the family Inn. We are excitedly towards the old town of ---- Now we know that Old Town of Lijiang and the Metro is a totally different situation, just two hours and I have experienced from the new pear return to the ancient.
taxi parked in a small alley alley ---- say, for me, still very spacious, the hometown of Yangzhou to be a long and deep multi-lane --- Unfortunately, the past few years Yangzhou老城区改造, Shop the quartzite, wet weather in the summer so that we wade barefoot lanes have fewer and fewer.
This familiar and unfamiliar streets, is the same way --- stone home is a rigid stone articles, Lijiang is a streaky colorful stone, smooth gorgeous, at the end of this streaky slate is our temporary home in Lijiang --- and s Inn.
I inadvertently looked Time: 3.00 pm.
Although the afternoon sun plateau remains strong, our shadows in the alley in the old long drag. I do not know from where the water came the sound of, but it also seemed a quiet alley.
And the Inn's precise name should be: the ancient city of residence Inn. Owner name and is a fat Naxi guy looked like a Xinjiang people, hearty and warm, I call him and tert-pear. Kindly smiling proprietress, naturally we call her and the aunt of the.
Inn is not ---- but as a residential, but city people out to make a big eyeball. Naxi dwellings are generally two-storey small building, as close to the mountains of the reasons are basically soil structure and the housing styles are slightly brackets, in the different parts are often decorated with various auspicious patterns, Zhaobi ---- the Chinese unique architectural features in the Lijiang Mingju more indispensable. And tert-home - Our Inn is also, years and 96 years, a major earthquake does not give the ancestral tert cause great harm, on the contrary, but also adds a sense of ---- I began to like the vicissitudes of Lijiang.
Settled, I stood and tert-pear garden a feeling of freshness and curiosity, listening, and tert about his home, to attract us, is a colorful stone courtyard lay out the pattern, the middle years of life of the roundabout words, in the courtyard corners, and another gravel plots the bat (fu), the courtyard is not, in the corridors of the surrounding, and tert-raising flowers usually are Lili.
Our Naxi friend suggested that we make use of this hilly section of their leisure time to the ancient city of Old Lane, a turn, we are pleased from the life.
Ancient poems said: a Bay water network far from the village, saying that the scenery of Jiangnan, but in Lijiang, a Bay pipeline network into other people might be more appropriate. Long in the Water Village of Lijiang, the scenery at the moment I am facing, but also have to admit, Lijiang water well.
1 and tert-door to clear water flow is unimpeded, there are few, water and even hallway burglary out of clear water as jade, and swift rivers Ru Jian, and thus the flow through the day and night, having left the Millennium years.
See our enrapture endless hills and a little sorry to say, and now the water no longer as urgent as before, clear, and the water source is the towering snow-capped mountains, but now, less snow-capped mountains of snow every year. Do not know if this time we can do in the mountain snow.
Three people walk in Lijiang streets, hills pointing, narrative forward, in front of us to spell out a live color alive incense to Lijiang.
See, 96 years, that field of natural disasters caused by earthquake damage to Lijiang, many of the entrance to "focus on protection of residential areas," the bronze medal of the compound to go into the often empty, has long been abandoned, only no one was cleaning the courtyard The weeds in the wind, and their masters? No one told us that the hills are silent.
