Longyan
"A person standing on the station empty hall, there is no congestion and noise around, but some are not accustomed to the inverted."
Longyan is a prefecture-level city of Fujian Province, in fact, are in Longyan Yongding and Changting within the jurisdiction of the city, only the cement pit area is located in Zhangzhou Nanjing County belongs to. Earthen directly to the car from Longyan, the voyage take more than two hours in the car we met Abin - the same journey from Guangzhou friends, so until the Ruijin the three of us go hand in hand; while his to join, but also for a few occurring in the future's interesting planted the seeds of causation.
The traffic is very convenient in Longyan, West went to Canton, North pass Ganzhou, south from Xiamen, but beyond that, nothing can Longyan an impressive place. For this, we abandoned the original plan in Longyan Zhuyi Ye and instead jumped into the 18 o'clock bound Changting cars. Longyan has actually become a transit point for our transportation, from Changting come back, we take the Xiamen-Longyan is also a train and then to Guangzhou.
It is worth mentioning in Longyan, Longyan will be as long as the empty train station, either in the booking hall of the conductor saw a beautiful young lady, I thought that owners do grown-ups put the empty city. As expected, all the passengers to Guangzhou, we must fill out the registration form; a man standing on empty station hall, there is no congestion and noise around, but some are not accustomed to the inverted.
Changting
"Chang-ting of the United States, concentrated in inconspicuous corner, there is no patient who can not seek her beauty."
The darkness came Changting all three of us crowded into a small tricycle out from the bus station. At this time I began to size up the "one China, two of the most beautiful mountain" in the old town. Remark people are foreigners, called Louis ? Alley, a New Zealand writer; but may be due to the time she was saying this was 80 years ago, and the Internet, and many friends of this Brigade The small town of Fenghuang in Hunan par with one word to describe: disappointment. And I do not think so. Changting Midao U.S. only, do not expect her to jump into your own field of vision; Changting can savor the beauty, but not in one breath swallow; Changting the United States, is static, not the flow; Changting the United States, concentrated in inconspicuous corner, there is no patient who can not seek her beauty.
Will work on a tricycle, as if the well-known attractions Changting passing, and what the Confucius Temple, ah, ah Tingzhou test homes, ternary ko ah on the road. Like this, "one street" town of the country, a lot, while walking can also be used, but motorcycles and tricycles are the main local transport, buses have only CMB enough; on both sides of the street stands the unclear road signs , vulgar billboards visually overbearing occupy space; driver Xinshou pointing to the ancient city wall looks like a very new, the city government on the road to a corner of the small buildings. 1 to 22 o'clock, and the roads a bit deserted, only the Ting riverside snack stalls and junk food chain has some popularity. My first impression, and most of the same: Is this the most beautiful mountain city of the legendary Chinese?
Song, is the highest point of ancient Chinese culture, but also the most flourishing period of the city Tingzhou. From the historical perspective, since the Xuanzong County Kaiyuan is located since it became Tingzhou and Fuzhou, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, par statehood in state; but also because moving into the Hakka, Zhi Song, Tingzhou of the population actually reached more than 20 million! Tingjiang imagine then both sides of Funabe gathered, rudder sound curl; three curious outsider through the city gates Shoubing inventory was the face of a wide quartzite Avenue, porters unloaded their shoulders, on the roadside small to make a break, the children ran out of breath from the windows looking in, saw the old people's face relaxed, Wealthy beauties Miss high out of the upper probe, smiled, looked at the young to visit Customer ... ... While most of the night the two doctors have been harassed, but I made a dreams. Early next morning, we visited Tingzhou test homes, children ages try their three-day trial behind closed doors, but is also subsequently the Chinese peasants and soldiers, the Soviet Congress of Fujian Province for the first time the venue. Because Changting from Ruijin close, until they were before the KMT encirclement, Changting are the center of Fujian, the red power base, led by Mr. He Shuheng. Sunlight from the roof of the wooden lattice between the shooting at the hall, and dozens of bench neatly lined from top to bottom, I seem to still be able to hear a voice of justice are words echoed in the ear. Overtaken by events, Tingzhou trial Court has now become a Changting museum, but is responsible for ticket sales and rental bicycles porter Xiaohong still wearing a Red Army uniform, actually quite good looking. So far, we have seen all Changting town's two kinds of face, but 80 years ago so that foreigners such emotion Chang-ting, there is still hidden in a piece of billboard after. Tingzhou trial out of the south from the hospital along, then the shape of the ternary gates Court, who is also reported in the Tang Dynasty architecture, but Now the next gate is just like the Honda motorcycle neat square. We are Entering without consulting anybody, and finally to South Street.
Tour Friends of the Xinhua has commented me: "I know your preferences, the more 'side, well, the poor' in place, the more you like." No high-rise five-star hotel, not the size of many of the numerous travel agencies, not an unexpected man-made structures, there is no bustling outsiders, there is no 'dirty, chaotic, and poor': the most beautiful picture is not always "spots", but in the "road" - This is my idea of travel. So when more and more worn around the house, lime walls were peeling off a piece, when the street lanes are increasingly quaint, from the windows looking into to see the old people's face relaxed, my heart gush of three words: I love it.
South Street, according to the current sense, at best, is nothing but an alley Bale. Wire disorder to cross in the alley of the airspace, bowl-shaped street overlooking the people in the past; vision down shift, full of dark tiles, there are often surrounded by an air corridor from scratch, wooden cross on top of the past; further down see, the old house had tightly next to the windows ajar, a small TV which broadcast the Lakers and Timberwolves Playoff games; bowed his head, and many abandoned courtyards have been covered with weeds, the corner on the faint residual the children's doodles. In addition to residential areas, a wide variety of wood carving workshops, old-fashioned barber shops, kiosks, snack bars, dental clinics, pharmacies, calligraphy and painting everything Square, you can always enter into any inside an old house looking around. A lug pole of the old woman from the "Three Represents" walk the wall opposite the "Hisense HISENSE" a few characters, a bit like Hangzhou "Hu Qing Tong" four huge Hefang Street on the words written on the flavor . If you look at the houses or streets on both sides may find several different architectural styles: one room is basically wooden structures, there is no facade, you can enter directly from the nearby wooden door to the houses inside, you can see is also a simple room, and perhaps the high roof; and another appears to the atmosphere and more will certainly be the first "XX Ancestral Hall" in St. Paul stand in the outside, after a short open-air walkways, can be entered into the open type hall, people were living in the hall around a room inside an independent, high on the roof there will be exquisite wood carvings, seemed to remind people easily forget things; third on the most surprising: internal and general residential areas should be no different, but the facade is a curved arch, firmly attached to the wooden doors on the outside, this green-brick structure with a bastion of Western-style arches reminiscent of the architectural style. The last is a tall iron gate locked in the police station, there is the matter of the direct blow to the "XX real estate" sites.
South Street Hakka are very friendly. Started, with a strong curiosity, we are bound to stand residential craned puts inside the door of view, an old man greeted: "The coming'll see." Then we just blatantly walked to another's home and asked: "Can we Visit about it? "" can ah. "even the masters of several houses also kind enough to us about what they know about the old house's history. Of course, if someone asked them, we still claim to Xiamen with university students.
South Street without mentioning that Wu, the old house. In an ancient street, the other plugged into an alley, covered with green leaves of its airspace, faint brick wall on one side you can see traces of doors, but was blocked on the. Stuffed reason for this is the original alley brick wall on both sides of the house Ye Hao Ye Hao is a son of the property you, but it was later divided into at least two, so the two are not mutually connected in the house. But even so, located in one side of the Wu, the old house, or from head to toe with the big to the gas permeability. First, it is actually a double arch, outside of a return to the street, just a little one Shui, they can enter into a small courtyard inside a tree (I am blind plants) will become particularly shady courtyard. Is another arch and the outside is not a word of that re-linking, but in a perpendicular position, that is, the entire row of old houses, is lying in the South side of the street; arch inscribed on the use Engrave "Ziyun Ancestral Hall "four characters. Kuaguomenjian, you have left or the right to enter into the hall, this wall should be used to indicate an "advance" the concept of it, the kitchen seems to be the first entry. Jin Ancestral Hall is the second inside the most open place. Symmetry of the aisle sandwiched one about as big as six or seven-square-meter courtyard, behind the patio is a spacious hall, a large wooden pillars on each side firmly supported the roof. Re-entry a forward, is also a square of open architecture, the middle of the small hall seemed to worship the ancestors, more than 10 pieces of the Republican era of the table in the elegant black and white portrait photographs of the frame, the neatly arranged in front of the wall is said to tradition of ancestor worship among the Hakka people in Fujian, or to retain and pop very well. On both sides are mutually symmetrical four small rooms, windows, or old-fashioned horizontal pattern Court, with a small stick to support together. Similarly, each side can pass a small staircase to the second floor of the room than on the first floor of the spacious, because both sides of the aisle on the first floor above, is to take on the second floor of that part of the extra area; rise seen dragons carved on the wooden pillars, it is believed came from over a hundred years ago Tingzhou the best craftsmen. The fourth entry into the other, except for the smallest one first place, is basically the middle of a reservoir, and its opposite, that is, the back of their ancestors, close to the large Lao Mao portraits, left and right side there is only a hut . Finally at the end of an entry, here is the entire piece old house where the structure of the design of the most ingenious, though also very small: into the wall, both sides of the aisle and rooms, as well as the middle of the rear hall is still surrounded by a little out of the ark, Teluk sun came in to the hall after the good lighting conditions and the fresh air. According to Abin said it was a typical characteristic of Huizhou houses, from the Central Plains area south to the west of Fujian subject to Huizhou, so no surprise bar. The most interesting is that when you looked up, they can saw the attic, there is a long, clean wood horizontal position on the balcony - this is the famous "beauty depends." According to legend, in ancient times the people downstairs and see the lady who can not easily be strangers (or let strangers see you), but they can not be isolated it, so it is this long, flat wood, of course, there is a wooden bench embedded in the back of the balcony, so beauty can be leaned on by the beauty, overlooking the courtyard, visitors look inside there loved one. Americans rely on the second floor where the room must arrayed mirror, which means there are dressing rooms features, while the real beauty of the room in the dressing room side. Such as the thought of here "peeping", there must be another example of the stairs up, through the Americans rely on, take a saliva finger dipped to Zhichuang on a stamp, Hei hei ... ... past, will the former owner of the Qing Hu Jiahui Huang's Foundation , was sold a lot of trouble was erased, Wu, a few families settled here, Americans rely on is an old man standing next to. Wu, the old houses were small and relatively cramped inside, but the sparrow may be small, fully-equipped, despite the old houses, but lower than the ordinary houses becomes more impressive. Then we see Ming Ancestral Hall Although both the house and yard to more spacious, but the design structure is simple; the only common is that are no longer a household in the world.
Changting in the United States and inadvertently jumped out one by one, the end of South Street is Baozhusi. Baozhusi across the South over the street, there are high above the high lookout tower can be the entire city, so I suspect Baozhusi is actually built on top of a gate. Structure of the temple is very strange, the hall dedicated to the Buddha statue actually only from Pianmen entry, but when I stand before the Goddess of Mercy, I suddenly understand the secret of the! Baozhusi where the original city gates and the distance the same as the gates of the ternary Ge echoed; in between them, a green tile in the sudden split a brick cracks, which is South Street; more distance, ternary Pavilion behind the hospital is located in the Tingzhou trial, while the test back with Changting Feng Shui House Mountain - Wolong mountain peak there is a temple in Wolong. So, this should be close to 4.1 lines far, they naturally overlap in the same line of sight on one; from a small window, they can from the bottom up to see them all. When I claim to be surprised when the singularity, Bodhisattvas are peacefully sitting behind me, smiling overlooking Tingzhou people, I do not know what kind of spent the Spring and Autumn. Therefore, a nun asked me to a worship of their idol worship, I worship only rarely a break of Maitreya's cases.
Yes ah, the calm and leisure Changting has been scattered all over to every corner of Changting. Yau that I finished visiting the ancient city zone, half of the afternoon at the silly hair Ting River, and 27 elderly people sitting on river bank up to half an hour later, I finally came to understand two things: first, 27 There are 17 elderly people is the white-haired; second, they are bored, I am also.
Changting or Changting,那座beautiful town.
