1. Warm-up and the rain
2003 April, yiyi & vivi intends to "51" travel to do a warm-up exercise. This has not experienced the core figure in the planning arrangements for the test of two self-help Tour rookie of the time has come to. Thus delineation of the mountains and water, the story lot, was good, the provincial capital of Nanjing in Jiangsu little risk as testing ground.
Vivi students tend to be busy at work, so travel planning matter were responsible for the yiyi student's shoulders. Ctrip forget to walk around on the first reference to a number of tourist prawn Nanjing Raiders, 11 note, such as jimingsi of the plain room, the liberation of the best viewing angle of the door, and spirit of the Purple Mountain tower overlooking the valley, Lion Bridge The Yin Shi seasoning sauce soup packets, and so the details. And then humbly ask around experience to capture the "Ming Palace gutter street there is" "the Presidential Office must go" "Wu Yixiang really disappointing," and so constitute good advice. Installed seven dirty mind full of the eight prime tourist attractions, ready to leave the train and bought maps, the re-Old and 11 for their location. Vivi reported that the tickets had been bought, see the weather forecast said that "over the weekend, Nanjing, moderate rain turn Xiaoyuzhuanyin. Tonight, rain."
二. The pre-dawn darkness in constant fear of the arrival of heavy rain at any time, in the bag stuffed a folding umbrella, two points late in the evening, stopped for rental to the train station and vivi join. Master all the way drivers take care of the past, the little girl, courageous, and to the first scheduled to stay in Nanjing ... ... choose the train, to 7:00 in the morning when you can appear in Nanjing began a full day of play. Vivi appears, is quite eye-catching, ± a ± a hatchback with the packet, a small pink coat, saying that as long as you can with money, and everything can go to Nanjing to buy. Fortunately, a little professionalism yiyi pretty area of the toothbrush, towels and umbrellas.
Euphoria of the two people, the coming storm of the night flight, pulls out a small bag of snacks, muttering muttering special talk big talk. Finally, said the tired, expect a nap on the train. But as the temperature decreased gradually to fall asleep with eyes closed, is no longer possible, is very miss my mother before leaving into the bag firmly rejected the sweater. Clothes of the two small thin woman, pre-dawn arrival of the extreme cold, the window of the last heavy rain, such as a note to the window on a dark no end. So dear, let us embrace the bar. Hugged heating, still shiver, Hanqixiren. Vivi tired eyes, teeth, said: After the train, first to buy clothes, and then look for hotels to sleep. With complaining with each other with Yi Wei, miraculously fell asleep.
Look forward to, look forward to the dawn of footsteps near, days gradually bright. Finally felt the touch of warmth, both sober look, pulled out a small mirror, "began to make-up!" Vivi pulled out a powder, lip gloss, eye shadow, and Moss, suddenly come to a spiritual. Yiyi Before leaving the intention of giving up with a cosmetic bag, vivi since the "do not take people's zone". A good thing brought the two men was "complementary" shape. So brightly dressed myself. In the three seats next to the horizontal night's Big Brother just woke see Yilengyileng. A renewed spirit, the train finally stopped at the Nanjing Railway Station slowly, a five-hour torture of cold and sleepy over!
三. Purple Mountain drizzle out of the railway station, the first thing to buy maps. As planned, the first leg of Zhongshan scenic area. Vivi shouted to eat hot breakfast, there is no frustration. Disappointment, smooth, and hop on the Purple Mountain to find a "tour a" line of the last row. Yiyi started over maps to find the impression of Nanjing Normal University, Qinhuai, Ming Palace ruins, jimingsi ... ..., but unfortunately cars shaking, word is small, until seen dizziness, still do not understand that these sites far apart in the end how the placement. Vivi dig a can of red bean porridge with the teaspoon to eat, look at Nanjing street Fumio beauty, it does not look like their minds.
Car with us first in Nanjing city where a large circle around and saw the afternoon to come to the "Presidential Palace" the door to see along the N number of colleges and universities, and finally saw the towering Purple Mountain. Votes in the "tour a" bought the car on the discount for each purchase travel packages, including the Mausoleum, Spirit Valley and the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum.
Admired the long-Mausoleum, continuous drizzle floating in the sky. Foot of the mountain there are groups of pair of tour groups, Little Red Riding Hood wearing a uniform, small yellow cap. See clothing store, when, vivi eyes lit up. No matter how look like extrusion products, and sets of a red coat and left. 29 money, cotton coat, or Benming years of red, vivi proud Oh! Hungry of the two in one hand and a bunch of stinky tofu dry in one hand and a corn on the cob, in the Inclined rain to the advance of the ladder leading to the Peak.
Base-base step by step, climbed the stone steps, at first the two facing the poor and put a digital camera pose, positive, side, and jump for joy, they also have some background in. Walked, back to the lush green mountainsides suddenly saw and felt relaxed and happy. Hope for many years, Nanjing trip alone on a good feng shui from the beginning Purple Mountain. Under the rain wash Qingrun natural scenery, such as the weaving of the misty rain dream, looking upward, looking above, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, pilgrimage in general respect mood arises spontaneously.
Mausoleum down, go take a look at Spirit Valley, yiyi and vivi all the way to go to. Only to disappear as soon hear the mountain birds Road, occasional passing car fast. Spirit Valley before it looks strange plum tree, temple of the "no-Liang Dian", respectively, of the murder of countless storage, each have their own thoughts. Ling Gu tower, nine-story, vivi decided to Bottom waiting. Yiyi circle began to turn up, in order to appreciate the whole picture, and overlooking the Nanjing Zhongshan City. Facts have proved that, vivi Bottom Buy Children are encouraged to stay waiting for yiyi the choice to eat it would be unwise. Despite the misty rain in the top of the tower scenery not quite clear atmosphere, but there is a different kind of empty deceive Yun Zhi.
Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum of quartzite road, wet by rain, moisture and solemn, quietly lying down, stretching far away. See "The Mountain Tomb of Ming Tai Zu Zhu Yuan" signs, it is for the farmer emperor's "Big Yin" moved, as the days of the emperor's monument without words and let the criticisms of later generations tracing.
四. Duck blood soup and the Presidential Palace from Meihuashan, stone Road "Big Dipper" all the way go back, and finally because the firm does not thereby give up vivi the "Zijin Lake" tour, that the Peak on the lake, dream the same name, only left to the future have visited.
"You 1" again to carry us back to the urban area, to see the Presidential Palace this stop the Nanjing famous "duck blood soup fans chains", and got off, first taste of the fast. Now has three in the afternoon, an unprecedented tired, ever hungry. Point of the seasoning sauce soup packets are Yangzhou fried rice, of course, duck blood soup fans. Meal down, but 20 yuan a total of two unified look. Is really excellent taste, began to lament that Nanjing is a dependent place. Zhongshan green trees, there is extension of the ancient street trees, there are inexpensive soup and soup packets ... ...
Vivi says something to be swallowed finally transformed into a "power", and the two pacing to the presidential palace next to. 40 yuan tickets for a surprise. However, the Lonely said favorite place is here, so they threw bought a ticket to follow the crowd into a. A tour followed, after dipping with other people's guides, starting from the "Xu Park" stroll from. Sophisticated garden, flowers and trees lined 4:00. Vivi was recently Xiao Cao GG's sake, began to plant flowers and trees showed unprecedented interest. Begonia flowers before vivi smile more sweet.
The Presidential Palace, a former mystery lies. Here was a two-Jiang Qing Dynasty Governor Department, is the palace of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of the Celestial Empire, is Sun Yat-sen's provisional presidency, a series of impact events in Chinese history happened here. Small courtyard is more concentrated in this mysterious atmosphere, walk to see, there is always a "voyeuristic" emotions. Visited Beijing's Forbidden City, grand buildings, in Miyagi shuttled back and forth, feeling the sadness of the end of a dynasty, you can hear the history of drums, but did not almost certain reality.
The Presidential Palace a small souvenir shop, one of the stalls selling Xun before a middle-aged women were doing very attentively to a beautiful Chinese knot. Has always been on the shoddy side of the road "Chinese knot" dismissive of me, this time by this beautiful gadgets deeply attracted to smell the fragrance of Aromatic and see this color, this shape, thinking it just may be an auspicious Dongdong sent to The Lonely.
五. Cool rain and street children, according to plan, we should go to Nanjing Normal University, the place to find accommodation. Then dragged his exhausted body, the two stopped the car to the South Normal. 7 yuan's initial charge, from east to west.
The class teacher in high school, "Hsu Tai Sin," namely, the university graduate. Have heard the Southern Normal University, exquisite beauty of non-South than in other institutions can. The door stood a very handsome very spirit of the armed police and give us detailed directions pointing guest houses, than in front of our school, "Black Cat" is much easier.
Carrying an umbrella, yiyi and vivi National Taiwan Normal University's campus in the South walk. This is a very unified architecture school. Uniform powder wall black tiles, big tall eaves tilt, a traditional quiet beauty. Slightly sloping campus ups and downs, ponds with bridges, winding paths joy after sorrow. Quite the envy of the Southern Normal University, harmony, which colleges and universities in Shanghai, perhaps we rarely met: Every year on campus will be smoke 12 unexpected modern architecture, and the atmosphere of the original tune.
Until the time of the back door one asked around and found two days of Nanjing University Graduate Management Admission Test double, guest houses already overcrowded. Not help reversing suction Liang Qi 1. So with hope, the two were an umbrella, walked next to the Nanjing University. Numerous small shops all the way, but also made a deep envy. Nanda's fine is not enough time scan and was told that House has already "full." Close to despair, then holding the last glimmer of hope, and then eastbound to the Southeast University luck. At this time heavy rain began to fall from the sky. But God is not the slightest pity on us. They have been mercilessly told to "Man"!
Standing in a strange city, there are luxury to star-hotels, but more looking for an affordable guest house, but they are "Where is he? Where?" More fierce rain, wind and rain arrived, mood fell to freezing point. The first independent to find accommodation, did not expect so difficult. Stumbled quite accidentally into being, and finally there came a Triple of "Green Hotels." Called "guesthouse" is inappropriate for the condition that only Tangtang room, but our request is a Tang Tang. Tired Oh! 18:00 more time, have finally reached a place where you can take a break. Two big bang, lie down ten. A full four hours last night, lack of perception on the whole to be recovered.
六. Impression of the ancient capital of the window late at night the rain stopped, yiyi and vivi Shuibao of. It is late at night, remember not to eat dinner. So decided to stroll hand in hand "Night of Nanjing", walk to the famous shopping malls Xinjiekou. After a nap together, completely no sense of direction. Yiyi With many years of experience of the Shanghai city bike got a little poor sense of direction, was taxi drivers thoroughly crushed. So mercy of cars turning left, turn right, forward. Saw the bustling Xinjiekou, seemingly everywhere Shanghai Huaihai Road commercial. Little pedestrian street, shopping malls have been closing.
So take a look at the night market to turn to the Confucius Temple. Following heavy rains may be to imagine in the stalls, food stalls has absolutely no. Only two or three small cars with sweet corn on the cob cooked. To see a river, in the darkness, a slight pan-ray, river is a powder wall Daiwa residential areas, can not see any real, vaguely thinking that this is the Qin Huai River, and every night Shengge, Qinhuai Rain in, trance the walk, vivi said that sitting in front of a restaurant than go sit.
To see the new service to two guests, rather is a Kudachoushen appearance, lost to the menu that must be set with the dim sum is called. Days! A large set of full, more than 80 yuan for dessert. So unless embarrassed. Turning the small two smiling faces, saying that "living well, we have had this work."
Night in the forward line, a small Fanzhuang, there is the welcoming hospitality qipao woman downstairs. Go take a look. Point of the toon fried eggs and fried river snail. Shibuzhiwei. Asked for a bowl of rice, on the drinking water, Pa 2 chopsticks vegetables, fill the stomach.
In the next to a shop, bought a crisp candy Nanjing specialty. Red bean cakes taste good.
Their return journey, empty Street after the rain alongside the vibrant display of century-old trees in wanton attitude, there are branches of the fragrance filled the air in the wet. So quiet, there is a huge neon lights flashing, centuries ago, the night is fascinating.
7. Find what you want enjoy to the full the next day open their eyes when the sun Man Shi. A sunny day. Ease of mind, sort of luggage, and walking to jimingsi. Holding a map, set bearings. Gradually see that this is known as "480 Temple" the head of the temple. There cheerful music came, it was that dance. Is not a fan dance popular in Shanghai, is the national standard. In the middle of the street in front of city park.
Jimingsi ticket is a five-yuan, Hai Po surprised to get the three incense. So burning incense and worship Buddha. Facing the bow high above the ancient pagoda. Small area of the monastery, but it is multi-layered tower is becoming charming eyes. Came to the Ctrip is widely praised "Monte exemption floor" look looked out and saw the ancient city wall of Nanjing, as well as the vastness of the Xuanwu Lake. Decided to eat here, plain room. The early morning hours, following the recommendation of Ms. point of "stewed octopus" and "sweet and sour spareribs." First up a bowl of rice porridge drink blood, ah, yes good! vivi here quite boast appreciation of craft. However, the subsequent "octopus" and "small row of" to the, how to look anything like, how to eat are also not. Yam flour, round and round and chew on the Nanjing dishes completely disappointed.
Since jimingsi the back door, it is all Xuanwu Lake Park. Vivi chasing a very thin very thin dog walking. Along the lake, the ancient city walls accompanied us slowly forward. Good time for a day yesterday, today finally able to leisurely pacing of the.
Ming Palace is a must go place. Sites in the Forbidden City Park, saw the gigantic kites, and the Shanghai People's Square of the flower kite is not a class. There are folk artists who make sugar, there is a large circle around the child to concentrate on looking at. Yiyi and vivi bought popcorn, sitting before a handful of sites a handful of places to eat. See a very beautiful white hydrangea.
In addition to the presidential palace outside the Gate of China is another one so that we Liulianwangfan place. The high wall there is a horticultural garden, is vivi extremely interesting. Look inside the roots bonsai, vivi one side to yiyi excited about, and Xiao Cao GG Dabie Mountain area of the line, while a small pick ginkgo bonsai, care in the palm of the hand, a few pieces petite heart-shaped ginkgo leaf connection with vivi from Nanjing back to Shanghai.
Yuhuatai to take along in order to give her sister a few pieces of stone and the small pendant. The way the sun shines, vivi can only take off the red jacket tied around his waist had. Yiyi test to vivi, yesterday we all went a bit where呀? vivi what went numb, "yesterday, ah, yesterday, first ... ... hills, right? and then the afternoon ... ... in the afternoon ... ..." yiyi so desperate, then we have just come out from where it? "... ... Ah ... ah ..." My God! yiyi one person arranged the itinerary of the results is like that.
The afternoon rush of Hunan Lion Bridge Road, a street snack, try the prestigious "Yin Shi seasoning sauce soup packets." Feeling too sweet memory of Shanghai's crab dumplings. Decided to return to Shanghai after the time to eat. To see a variety of sugar-coated haws. Strawberry? Pineapple? Kiwi? Any fruit can be up like strings. Le Zizi a bunch of people ready to go home.
8. Departure, Yang Zhou, Xuanwu Lake train station to buy tickets. There are many traffickers near the same aunt pulled us to go back to Shanghai by car. Disregarded. Bought a fast inter-city passenger, 86 yuan tickets come more than three times the time. There is also a half-hour from the start, yiyi pulled to the opposite of the Xuanwu Lake vivi Yang Zhou. Rented a mushroom-like electric ship, mushroom to mushroom in the lake to go.
Lake waves, he saw the branches spring, lake small white car drove through the island, there are couple riding a tandem bicycle around the island ring. Off the motor, he served as the waves rippling boat. Seeing departure time approaching, the small motor chug slowly advancing, also dominated the total wrong direction. Jump ashore, run down the station. Just one seated, the train slowly passing on the move.
Looking around, he saw the crowd masks until SARS is now thought rampant. Back to Shanghai after the Beijing SARS outbreak that day, the number of infections over a hundred years, the school restricted access, company holidays, people panic rush to buy goods. Fear in the capital of the Lonely, quickly sent an auspicious Chinese knot, hoping that he can stem the tide.
Come back these days, the National about a high degree of tension. Suspension of the suspension of classes, isolated isolation, insecurity and 51 of the holiday has also been canceled. Such a sudden change in social situation, people are really caught by surprise. Believe that as this atypical pneumonia, a lot of people good, "51" plans are forced to cancel.
"Warm-up exercise" has become the "ultimate goal", I would like to miss this article in Nanjing worry-free trip.
April 29, 2003 was finalized in the shadow of the Shanghai FD
