Where a person who visited Lijiang, Yunnan, everyone Xiuse its landscapes and customs of the dumping, especially the large research ancient charm of language and text are difficult to describe to the best of. Perhaps visitors will have such a strong feeling that in Lijiang seem to have found their homes in reincarnation fall out like the warm feeling of deja vu blurred Nanshenanfen would like again to return to or stay in here to do Lijiang person.
Three years ago when I first had this when you leave Lijiang, a strong desire to, in my travels "light up the two weeks to" try to describe it has been. When I recently returned, this feels even stronger.
When the people increasingly aware of Lijiang, this place is the Pure Land, after the Kuangyong come. Chinese New Year period, waves of tourists, accommodation is fairly tight and want to live in the ancient city during this period it is very difficult thing, but asked a friend as I have already booked accommodation in advance, there will be no worries. When I took my daughter out of the Grand Canyon from the Nu River diversion Dali car, arrived in Lijiang in the darkness fell, the friends have cars will we received outside a city hotel. Lijiang City, brightly lit at this time, and more than three years, I had come to a more prosperous and colorful. Clear night sky moon like a hook, a star-studded, a anaphoric when I first arrived in Lijiang scenery. According to Jie Feng's friends said Dayan Old Town Lane Inn has long been full, the Inn 20 minutes from the city walking distance, environment and sanitation is not bad.
This is a hotel near the Black Dragon Pool Park, called "Dragon Inn", in an alley house reminds me of the martial arts heroes portrayed in the shop overnight child. Red lanterns hung in the inn door, looked elegant simplicity; small streamer flashing lights for the holiday added some festive and security. A friend arranged for me to run Check In, say, arranging the car for us and I thank him for his kindness, saying that the current visit is to re-round the ancient city of dreams, and I just want to hang out in the ancient city where, and then properly Gone with the Wind weeping willow water taste bridges on ancient music stars, accompanied by the feeling of graceful ears, just because I devotedly attached to the ancient city. I have heard says the shop owner is very warm and I accosted, he had seen me to fill in to land "in Guangzhou," the land Road, Cantonese said to me: I have University, Guangzhou people!
I looked surprised, and locals have been assimilated to this image of handsome and robust about Ershiqiba-year-old owner of the plateau of the wind and ultraviolet his tan cheeks and nose blowing red burst forth, and hung above the bright smile, if the authentic voice is not how you were not where he will be synonymous with the Cantonese. He briefly describes his early years to carry out renovation works in Lijiang, where they fell in love with the mountains and rivers, but also fell in love with a beautiful Naxi girl, just started settling here, and this is his hotel for his wife, the Naxi opened, and their daughter has already had four. Ha ha! Surprisingly, these and other romantic story? Strike may be fate or coincidence, every time I go on journeys outside the always encounter some interesting people and touching stories to tell, the hour is late, I would like to put away into the ancient city of luggage can not wait on him goodbye in a hurry. I said to him, and so I took over to find time to listen to his story.
Took over the day, apart from my daughter, come back here to sleep, on the day and night to stay in the ancient city, the city's streets will be gone a few times to see sunrise and sunset to listen to the spring played catch-ming; in the bar taste with mixed style; to buy on the Some favorite craft products, experience the bright lights of shops brings us feelings of pleasure; bathed in the sunshine, sitting outside a small tea house concept sky clouds, listening to the gurgling sound of nothing to think about running water; re-board the I had climbed over the wall upstairs to find the eternal dream of the scene. That a few moment's Our Time in my mind a blank gradually shift to the second to make the time, respectively, and meet the difficult Bie Yinan, in the parting will be in the moment I do not know what body is part of a dream world of the Or the real world, I would like is the weeping willows along the banks of the ancient city with a long length in accordance with; I would like is a stream inside the plants, in the springs where the Yao Zhi dancing with Qianrou; I wish I felt as good as exile WATER LANTERNS With the flow of water long under the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
The eve of parting and return to Dragon Inn to pack up and saw the owner's like family. Owner of the cooking himself invited us to dinner in the store, could see that he was very diligent lean. Chatting in the beginning that his surname capacity, called Yung-chi, a wide tolerance for common surname in the Guangdong region's surname. He introduced himself born and raised in Guangzhou, the parents are settled in Hong Kong, I would like to make a sightseeing tour was put a long time ago, almost invariably, traveled throughout China, and he explains his final choice to do works to settle in Lijiang, only margin fell in love here the mountains and rivers as well as his wife, the Naxi. His charming wife, Qian Xiu, a local guide; daughter, beautiful and lively, taking their strengths, such as the Little Angels as lovely. Close scrutiny of the Inn ventilation translucent, in the atrium there is a courtyard, room clean and fresh, full use of solar collectors for heating. He is said to be renovated section of the lease period to achieve the store for seven years, usually carry out fitting-out works that he, the House has his mother and brother-care, an enjoyable.
Night, I hurriedly came, and hurried away, there is always a blur of cure does not have a faint sadness, in fact, endless life, so? The long river of life, we are a come and gone in passing, in a certain period a certain state of mind to stay under the always want something for themselves what is recorded, but often find it difficult to grasp this opportunity fleeting recalled the feeling afterwards is always unrecognizable. The return to Lijiang, not only let me play connections are broken already begun residual memory, capture the return to the reflection of the Yulong Snow Mountain, re-experience the ancient city of charm, but also gives me a stronger desire, that is: endure long do people in Lijiang !
