Yangshuo Guilin travels ten years ago, we had excellent swim Guilin. Static consider switching, one's spare time to re-visit, the Pro has to foot the previous homework, from the major websites downloaded more than 10 pages of information, really did not expect to find a very different route with the travel agencies.
Fri. 7 pm, we ride to the terminal in Guangzhou, Guilin Fangcun sleeper car, fare 100 yuan / person. (Later learned that can be directly with the drivers Kanjia to 80 yuan / person, He He ~~~~~~ deficit it.)
Sat. 5:00 Xu arrived in Yangshuo bus stop, pedestrians are few. Back forward luggage arrived 10 minutes walk from the famous West Street. In blocks of one of the Mi Fendian the door has been open for business to sit down, called for a bowl of famous ya Doll's Guilin rice noodles, a look, wow ~ ~ as much as seven or eight ingredients, red pepper, green parsley, green of the chopped green onion, fried yellow soybeans ... ... and then a taste: ah ~ ~ ~ ~ Yum! Under the thin aftertaste, but also a bit less than the people: This Guilin rice noodle if we are in Guangdong Braised Beef Brisket for garnish, simply on the ... ...哈哈! Checkout finished only 2 yuan / bowl. At this point the sky micro-light, the pedestrian streets have been in twos and threes. According to the information found from the network: In the West by the Lijiang River and that there is a landscape park, fare 21 yuan / person, free of charge before 7:00. In this connection, we decided not to break. It did not intend to eat a cold shoulder, which one is being cleaned leaves the shop said that today is not open.
Turning back to walk through on the West, it was found out of this world-famous six-meter wide streets, but also three or four hundred meters long, paved road all quartzite, look clean and age-old. Streets full of small building two three-story brick-wood structure, see all been carefully renovated. Are now a number of bars, hotels and small shops, etc., and their signs are mostly in Chinese and English co-exist, or is purely English, we can see that West's reputation loud!
Back to the blocks, to a small shop and bought maps, rent a bike (normal 5 yuan / vehicle / day, with a shock speed of 10 yuan / vehicle / day, more people can Kanjia or holidays) to the the direction of high franca ride to go see big banyan tree and the Mountains of the Moon, ah! At this point the morning 7 am, the sky more and more bright, more and more pedestrians on the road again.
Yangshuo, all the way to the Takada asphalt along the roadside scenery is very good, while cycling while watching the scenery, unknowingly went to the bridge of the workers and peasants. In the deck to enjoy the scenery and the camel crossing the river a short break for a while.
The workers and peasants over the bridge and then ride five minutes, went to a big banyan tree park. Take a look at the price, a bit fuzzy! Rubbed its eyes look! Days! Tickets turned out to be 18 Da-Yuan / person! ! We Xinhui the so-called "bird paradise" banyan tree inside a full ten times than its third year, and only dare to close 15 yuan / person. Strike, strike, strike, do not look worth mentioning! Anyway, I've seen about 10 years ago. Then able to go riding, over tens of meters and found that there is a road on the right path, the end is a pair of set off a small village in the trees. An old waterwheel to turn the creak Ya Ya, get up early the village women wash clothes in the river hammer. To see such a good picture, can not help but turn into to go to shoot a few. At this time a middle-aged guy with my bike and head off to see him left-handed Yi Tai: "Look! That is big banyan tree!" Ha Ha ... ... do not have to spend money, we could see the original Star banyan tree.
Photo finish, abductions of the direction of a highway to head for high franca a five-minute ride to the mountains of the moon. Mountain Tickets 9 yuan / person, bicycle storage 1 yuan / vehicle. Forget! Former U.S. President Richard Nixon do not have to learn to climb the Peak, Mountains of the Moon to study the moon hole is drilled artificial or natural formation. Just riding along the road ahead, his eyes staring at the moon holes, "You see you can see, the moon's face surreptitiously changing the ... ..." And from a change to the 15 who started. Turned around the front, to Yangshuo the direction of riding, the moon will change from 15 back to Crescent Moon. Very interesting, very poetic.
Read changeable moon, back to ride on the worker-peasant bridge, after crossing the bridge, turn left along the Yulong River to Jiuxian, the direction of riding to Baisha. This is a field paths, wide, but in two parallel, narrow only allow a foothold. Roads are rugged, in some places even have to go bike riding on people. But the scenery along the way the United States was a complete mess: Dento labors of the farmers, roadside grazing of cattle, the wind of the rape, the smoke curl in small villages and even the lonely tree roadside trees, are all made me the murder of film , so hot the camera shutter.
Yulong River is still the most beautiful, green river flows quietly, the two sides of Castle Peak, such as Dai, morning mist shrouded the river's fish are free to Xixi, from time to time one or two playfully jumped out to break it as a mirror of water, Dangqi a circle ripples. Sloshing of the water as if like magic, suddenly has a beautiful landscape painting Peng Chu, people marveled at. From time to time came together with several more birds singing, Chongerchangyin, several suspects are in fairyland. This picturesque scenery often tempt us to leave the trail, hovering on the Yulong River River. But this allows us to spend more than three hours to arrive at the Jiuxian, this time it is posted back and chest. Out the door carrying a few pieces of bread in the recently Guairu Yulong River paths, they were the two dragged the nose a little boy: "I can try it?" Slap stolen along the way we are just a few to drink saliva only. Jiuxian happens is just a village, can not find the local temple festival a festival five internal organs had to bear in a tight belt resumed.
Happens we may be the wrong one bend Po, went to one of the sections under construction. Passers inquire, before we know have been away from the Yulong River, and then ride for half an hour is coming forward Baisha town. He suggested that we continue riding to Baisha Town, because of this section the road is better, and the shorter distance to the town crossroads, turn left towards the direction of Campbell's riding for half an hour you can see the Yulong Qiao. In this occasional look at the two same bike in Guangzhou Yulong Qiao girl, sing the same tune of the illustrious company, naturally with Sheung.
Finally to the Baisha town, looking for home Mi Fendian hastily filled in the stomach to continue the road, secretly decided to be eating a cool evening, and a good look at corruption. 1:30, we finally arrived at Yulong Village, Yulong Qiao in the village on the Yulong River.
Yulong Qiao is a stone arch bridge built in the Ming Yongle ten years (AD 1412), across the Yulong River. Campbell was originally white sand leading to a must pass through are a result of newly built road around the Yulong the village before, so only the tourists to the. You can find the deck on the side of stone, engraved with the villagers carrying the self-organized in 1944 against the Japanese devils, and defeated by facts. Bah! How can we allow that I have beautiful rivers and mountains of the Japanese pirates degrading peep!
Look around, time here seems to punched a nap, everything is so old, Yulong River water is still clear, the villagers still sunrise and sunset; also remains warm hospitality, whether it is the age of three juvenile children, or 80-year-old white-haired old lady, can be very popular to tell you "Hello." Probably English gentleman companion quipped, and he (she) be able to hear the dialogue to the London accent. Modern economic tide is only a small spray in this emerging: There are several small bamboo raft under the bridge for the tourists hire. Stays raft could have been said by bamboo raft and drifted into the workers and peasants under the bridge, large banyan edges, and each can take the two rafts, 150 yuan / person. We hear straight tongue: "expensive, terrible!" He explained expensive is because the entire process to go through more than 20 Road roller dams, a total seven hours and, finally, with the motor vehicle will be transported back to Yulong Qiao rafts from the downstream . Because we also went to the day xingping accommodation, calculate the lack of time before giving up.
But here is the scenery along the way they see the most beautiful, especially in the downstream Yulong Qiao Looking back, semi-circular and a clear reflection of the bridge opening sketch into a picture frame, frame is a colorful and constantly changing landscape of Tawara painting. Real small bridges people ah!
Linger for a long time, which consumed large amounts of film before set foot on Return Journey. And that has to wait two girls along the Yulong River in Guangzhou ride to see a large banyan tree, the moon, mountain, back to Yangshuo after tomorrow is to Xingping. Apart from admiration, to a large banyan trails free of charge to see advertised, the fleet they have been long gone.
Next we spent an hour riding along the highway back to Yangshuo. Walk through the bustling crowd at the West, suddenly bursts of flavor rains, glance right and left were found to have several files which make pumpkin pie, Green onion pancake stalls selling 5 angle / month. I do not know starving, or tastes great, and anyway, we ate several pumpkin pie before give up. Blink of an eye they were found selling persimmon cake, and a taste below, it is incredible! Backpack too heavy for quite a few catties. Hurriedly dragged companion was also a bicycle, went to the station to sit CMB (2.8 yuan / person) to Xingping.
Wake up the car arrived in xingping, is nearly five o'clock. In the Lijiang hotels and booked on the edge Yung Tam (Kanjia to double 40 yuan / rooms, the key is where there is hot water bath), wash my face terminal contact on the ship went to Lijiang tour tomorrow. According to the information available, tomorrow there should be a trip to the Yang Di country fair of the ferry, but they do not sail without an accurate time and more detailed information. As we stood there speculating on the face of Mitsue vessel, when a big red tourism Daiding cap woman smiles went up to: "The two are not to travel by boat Lijiang ah?" So she is we are looking for The proprietress of that ferry boats. Contact a good time and the ship, boat, (as early as 7:00 am departure, 5 yuan / person / one-way, and later learned that the local people is 2 yuan / person / one-way, He He ~~~~~~) we can worry about tomorrow No getting up early, the boss each of the offerings promised to call tomorrow morning Hanxing us and will wait five minutes before we sail. All the arrangements in place, taking advantage of empty stomach is not sound, the time is too early to decide immediately climb the old Walled Hill. "Ship number is 189, remember, ah!" The owner of the voice is far from catching up.
Old Walled Mountain is about 200 meters above sea level, on the port side, because there is no door, so do not need to Mai Menpiao. Today, physical exertion may be too large to actually charge to climb the hill for half an hour, just before the top when you are really in the "climbing" mountain. Standing mountain friendly entry pavilion overlooking the four weeks, xingping picture at a glance, so far be considered to understand the "Green River to make baskets with the mountain such as the Jade Hairpin" and poetic. In view of such beauty, the chest can not help but give birth to a bit, "pointing Jiangshan, Jiyangwenzi", "dirt then 10000 Hou," the lofty!
Under the very mountains, to find the nearest restaurant to sit down for a meal. Braised Chicken plus Li River Quanpi Jiu Huang, very, very cool! Companion thought that only Pijiu Yu illusory. Fond, looked around you, across the street is a big-name, "RIVER VIEW" restaurant, we'll take this home actually is the famous "Spring Hotel, Lijiang." Internet legend female boss on the "Mix" who are pointing their warm hospitality and can we save money Dafa, Lijiang tour, chatting under the Sure enough. Only their own selfish to think that her restaurant food prices as high as her passion.
That night, we looked on the Li River of waves sleep.
Sun. Did not call until the boatman, we have already awake, and haste will make a breakfast of rice packed on board a ship set sail. Ferry is a single-layer, and not so big that small is not small, can hold dozens of people. The entire vessel covered with a metal Ceiling and wife come up with a few armchair son said we could go to sit above. In addition to passengers, we still have 56 students from Guilin, the other all hands are portable to the Yang Di locals go to the market.
The weather really did not expect to suddenly become so cold, not a few drops of rain falling Shi Hai, we will put all the clothes, and whole body tremble, or straight. But even cruelly cold, we and the band of students and the ship has stayed top of Yang Di, greed watching the beautiful Lijiang River, breathing fresh air for this incomparable. Is indeed the "Guilin mountains and rivers under heaven, Guilin, Yangshuo A", especially when you are faced with such an increase is now Amidst landscape map will also be the envy of Yangshuo people living in the fairy picture inside. No wonder the ancient seven items Ruan Yuan-ning to do Yangshuo county magistrate, do not want shoes soaring. Our original plan intended to drive directly from the Yang Di back to Yangshuo, but the beauty of the scenery, subsequently determined to take this ship and then return the way a lot of Kanji Yan.
During the voyage, the boat will be at the right time boss ran over, pointing everyone to see turtles climb mountains, and the elderly to sit the chicken, the boys worship Kuanyin, Lions look at nine horses, attractions, looking at the reflection of yellow cloth over the pocket digging Shihai We find a new 20 yuan, let us mutatis mutandis, on the back of the similarities and differences between design and real. Explain the level of their professionalism and expertise absolutely no less than excellent tour guides.
Yang Di, whose real name is sheep hoof, so named because of the mountains. I do not know too originally named Tai Su, or incorrectly relay erroneous messages into its present name. However Bambusa Multiplex remains the same, green Flows, Yang Di Bamboo stretching for miles and is also a major attraction Lijiang. Yang Di Wei is very small, small enough to be able to stroll without five minutes again. The villagers are selling sugar cane, soya and green vegetables like-grown crops, the general dress very plain, could see that they are not wealthy person, it is emotion for so many years the tide of tourism has also failed to give their lives else has changed. But the smiles on their faces in Iraq as brilliant as the sun in his eyes, like the Lijiang River water-clear, filled with the joy of contentment.
Most of the time we hang around the upper reaches of the Yang Di moonlight on the island. There is an abandoned holiday village, there is a long pebble beach, I remember a year ago in a photography magazine posted a story: two were originally far apart, the opposite sex not know each other amateur photographers, in the film Lijiang River Landscape on the way encounters, lodging at the Moon Island went through a scare sleepless nights. The next day the woman in time take the train back to Shenzhen to work, do not hurry to leave contact information, tap the window regret away. Later, the men would be to write the story out hope for a miracle. I hope that days one would be able to gradually!
When we look at the pebble beach waterfalls, picking up small stones, when starting from the Guilin Tourism to open mighty fleet before, the board of visitors also waved it. I humbly believe, by such a ship tour Lijiang River are indeed very impressive, but the scenery is better to look at the boat ride itself, but, as the reflection of yellow cloth such attractions, to be calm, and slowly see that the taste was fine goods. Companion recalled that in the past by the Li River cruise to see when it is like to abandon boat landing, walking about. Now we finally can not think of a dream come true. "Perhaps those on board 'squeeze' were also envy you it!" I answered the sentence.
Stomach was finally hungry. The boatman to the river bank to buy a few samples of fish, there are good few catties re-do! Also at the market to buy vegetables and absolute system of traditional crafts to do with the Yang Di rice noodles, of course, beer, only spent a total of less than thirty yuan, on the ferry through hands-on cooking on the stove. Boatman see our hands the duck's legs look like chicken must be amused and can not help themselves dry up. Can not think of真人不露相, boatman's cooking class: freshwater grouper put soup, fish Fried resort to a qian quickly on the table, and the taste is really great (I must go to Zhang paper towels, and now drool of )! staple food is rice noodle soup fillet, round tough with smooth crisp, ponder also stocks a touch of fragrance. The face of first-class landscape, taste authentic Lijiang River fish, so I'm afraid the restaurant is unique in this world!
After dinner and the boss and chatted with him that she was the ship on a daily basis and from the embankment xingping and yang between the 1,4,7 every calendar day is Yang Di's Market Day, this ship xingping open from 7:00 am out at noon and from 1:30 Yang Di return; every day is a 3,6,9 xingping Market day is the 2:00 pm ferry from xingping open, but only to the nine horse painting mountain directly return, do not arrive Yang Di. Passengers are mostly villagers along the river, to take the ship's tourists are Shitu Mix.
We have also come across a photograph in the Lijiang River took three decades of fanatical photographers ---- Liu Changwu. Old Liu is xingping the people at the pier side to open a shop, may be the opportune, every 1,4,7, taking advantage of the Lijiang River on the ferry, No. 189, consumption of film, so along the river landscape, weather and the humanities are overripe in mind. His photographs published numerous award-winning lot. The photographer came to Paipian Zi, if there is such a guide, be sure a lot of interest. Old Liu said that he was not hard to find, xingping film placed on the pier side of the counter the most varieties of the most homogeneous of that is that he opened a shop had.
The return trip, we climb onto the boat roof. Something like that is really a good place to enjoy the scenery: you can stand to see, sitting, watching, and even squatting, lying down, tummy of view, the mood, and you still can take a look at upside down! Think really happy: to see the same scenery, "the ducks are," to spend a hundred dollars, and we are also Read it over twice, but 10 yuan / person only. When people come to nest in the space point of view, we could still without shelter stopped to enjoy, it is value for money! The only regret is that we will not sing folk songs, or else all the way along scenic song, never mind how beautiful the! That time the teacher really regret not seriously teach, and he is not a good school.
At four o'clock boat by xingping terminals, good-bye after the boss and old Liu, or by China and Pakistan back to Yangshuo. Yangshuo to Xingping all along the widening of very severe bumps along the way and did not know yesterday how come when asleep. There are two girls in the front row together with Guangzhou to Yangshuo in the mantra that the number of post you want to eat pumpkin pie, the number of Green onion pancake, Cecil ear, they strike Chanchong, but could not sleep.
Fortunately, soon reach the end. Inn on the West saw a few are not sold out is too expensive, when we wandered in the streets when found hiding in the newly opened lianfeng alley, "Ch'en Kung-Hing Hotel", the boss Chen Xianhui was a teacher. He took out a stack of printed information to prove that the store is how well-known in the Internet, and let us look at the courtyard parked motorcycle, brands are Chongqing, and see all the long trek from . Hotel very clean, together with Professor Chen is very generously gave a "low limit": 40 yuan / sets of standard room. Of course, live here any more.
Ms. Chen, a grand dinner was recommended by the "yellow × sister" big food stall to eat on the network's reputation resounding "thank × Sister" in next door. Alas! Grade than the "Lijiang River Spring" low tens of class, the price is as high as several, several levels, such as our freshwater grouper at noon to eat here is sky-high price: 100 yuan / jin. Companion that you can be optimistic about it, her it is written, wild freshwater grouper. I laughed: "At noon to eat freshwater grouper was not the Li River where wild Is boatman is over the mountains to buy back ah?"
Not eaten a good result is to find somewhere another netizen in a grand recommendation, put out after 7 pm, there is a big umbrella of the small food stalls. All their efforts, only in the West was relying on that end of the theaters to find, I pointedly asked the proprietress end of last year there would be a girl every day in Guangzhou eat stewed chicken legs? Boss loudly said: "Of course!" And pointing to the sun umbrella, asking me if I was to see it anymore? I downloaded the information from the network gave her, and saw she was crying joyfully came to see the boss, the boss took out his spectacles, carefully read it three times. "If I put it in his words copy paste them to make larger signs, the business will certainly be good times!" I said, "how do you know that business is bad people to see." Incredibly good business indeed, on the We bites when the nearby table had been replaced three or four guests dial. Mariko sorghum, beef stew wonton plus soil legs, eat the two of us round belly. A blink of an eye also found adjacent row of stalls selling powder, the wide ± a ± a, more than we eat in Shahe Fen slightly narrower, their teeth a bowl, wow! Guilin rice noodle to eat this morning than we should be much more delicious! At the night market on the delay for too long, the original plan of the Lijiang night and watch ospreys fishing did not go into. Well are not much clubbing mood, in the West on the east to see the West looked to shoot a few night back slap Inn Road, go chat with the Duke of Zhou.
Monday, today the former do not have to get up early, but it was only when they open their eyes more than six. Anyway, have been awake, we see that the landscape garden bar at no cost!
Come to front, it really is a garden door wide open, get up early morning walk everywhere in the shadows, while staff have to work until 7:30. Park, some of the attractions such as the KAM Temple gates were locked, and free will not ask too much Well! The hillside in the Green Lotus Peak can be seen a big LITHOGLYPHS "band" of the word Qing Wang Yuan-jen handwriting. A cursory look, there is no competitive edge goes, look at next to the description, the original of this tape contains the word "exalted area, juvenile efforts," eight words. Hei hei ~ ~ ~厉害bar! Could not help but also to the ancient Chinese culture gave birth to a bit more respect! Think of riding the day before yesterday at the Yulong River River, there are several local people whispered to guess that we are Japanese or Korean, I loudly said to them: "is the Chinese people!" Share of pride in Chinese culture, there are at least Bacheng stays up.
In the riverside, we also see a fisherman on bamboo rafts insisted on fishing, a little less last night did not watch the osprey fishing regret!
Swim landscape garden, walking in the West, looking at those roadside shop selling fake antiques, filled with shopkeepers energetically soliciting voice, suddenly feel that the West under the sun with a strong commercial flavor and a strong utilitarian nature of the like a youthful whitewash the country girls, dress wear straw sandals have inadvertently exposed feet, is so without looking. So pack up to go to Guilin.
Compared to Guilin city a decade ago, is clean a lot, a lot of new high-rise buildings. But it became even more utilitarian, and even the direction of passers would suggest that you inquire about buying her a map. Had a walk in Riverside you can see the Elephant Trunk Hill street, but also do everything possible to use a pot that nearly withered block your line of sight, and then want you to dig 15 yuan / person into the park, but how can we read in Yangshuo will spend the money wasted it!
The long day we are in Guilin that this new pedestrian street ---- Zheng Yangjie through, and less than 5 minutes away from the Elephant Trunk Hill. Here shops everywhere, eat, drink readily available, and prices incorrect? 哈哈... ... only the West that a quarter of small shops, but you Kanjia ruthless than the owner's asking price Caixing.
Lunch also in Zhengyang Jie resolved. Sunny city of Wuzhou wrap chicken soup, and soup is indeed good, it is worth a try! Prices are too. 8:00 pm in Guilin luxury car station, take bus back to Jiangmen, temporary front of the car and went to the station on the opposite side of the authentic old Ming Kee Mi Fendian horse eat a bowl of authentic Guilin rice noodle (Alas, they are rice noodles)!
Recommended trip:
The first day: In Yangshuo West Street rent a bike, preferably with a variable-speed mountain bike shock absorbers (5-10 yuan / day), to prepare a lot of water and dry food. Then take the shuttle to the event to the Campbell's Long Village (2-3 yuan / person) and get off watching Yulong Qiao (the advantage of saving time and effort and will not be taken the wrong way), and then along the river down to Ranger to see big banyan tree and the Mountains of the Moon. If your swelling wallet, you can take the bamboo raft drifted into the workers and peasants under the bridge, large banyan tree next to the (150 yuan / person), I believe that is a good choice. Then ride back to Yangshuo, China and Pakistan to xingping (2.8 yuan / person), climb the old Walled Mountain (free) to see rural scenery and xingping panoramic night-Rong Tan hotels or places xingping Wangjiang F (20 yuan / person / double room ). Spring Hotel, Lijiang Xingping phone 0773-8702106 and wife Xu Yu-lian where you can consult to the situation.
The next day: get up early and take the ferry Yangshuo 189 (one-way 5 yuan / person) or chartered boat (100-150 yuan / ship, but also to leave port at 7:30 in the morning to avoid boatman was embarrassing) to the Yang Di, the proposed time adequate, there is by ferry back and forth on the xingping (to be seen two-way scene Oh, but also eat fish and Yang Di Lijiang genuine rice flour). Then back to Xingping or Yangshuo accommodation. Proposal back to Yangshuo lianfeng Lane Ch'en Kung-Hing hotel stay (40 RMB / standard room, very clean, call 0773-8822652 look for Ms. Chen), at least you can eat a big meal (do not go to thank × sister, yellow × sister, where to eat, too expensive incredibly, the taste is not very good. We strongly recommend to the West by theater apart, Wang Dan there is a row of food stands, big folder Disi). Free tour tomorrow landscape garden, provincial and 21 yuan / person.
Much more at ease on the third day you can take half a day strolling in Yangshuo, Guilin in the afternoon, or slide clatter Paula Lagos. Night sleeper train or bus to go home (Do not take those luxury bus, sitting is not, lying is not yes. A night off, they never mind how painful a).
Note: when finalized, I heard there was money in the consortium bought the Yulong River in fifty years the right to operate and is prepared to engage in what food along the River City! Oh ~ ~ ~ ~ want to see authentic Yangshuo's a quick go!
