April 19 (cloudy, sometimes moderate rain)
Get up early, gloomy days, the cloud is low; Luggage storage after check-out at the hotel to the Bus Terminal on the departure of the. Thought in front of the ticket (purchase tickets Longsheng places) you can get to kwan'am of the votes, did not expect inquire about for a long time, they said do not know. The more rain the next bigger, our trouser legs and shoes were soaked, and had parent's house on the roadside kiosks. No one looked at and out of the bus is to kwan'am, and our hearts began to commit a whisper. Fortunately, children rain down after a while, and we immediately rushed out, in a parking lot under the guidance of the administrator, and finally in the parking lot of the innermost found to kwan'am car, a sigh of relief.
Bought their tickets (6.5 yuan / person) got on the car tick found in the leaks, but this is our only choice, no way. 9:20 start of the last. We are also fortunate that the car started only three or four individuals, but then one after another on a car full of people, all sitting very crowded, when the passengers are really afraid of what SARS patients. I have noticed that people on the train midway to pay more fare than we do, so buy a ticket to remind you to bypass the ticket must not be dealing directly with the driver!
1 Guilin area, found the road under construction, bumps and hollows did not say, because the reasons for rain, the whole site is like one big quagmire. Thought that the road will soon be over, so did not expect to open more than half an hour in the car who like horse back riding, skeleton pretty soon, Britain dispersed. Not only that, I open the window ventilation, the Pajero also come from behind to catch up with mud splashed a point of rotten luck.
10:50 finally arrived in the lawn parking lot, but there is still some distance away from the hole kwan'am (walk about 40 minutes), but also it was raining, so we decided to extravagant one, each of the cars rickshaw ride up the mountain (16 / 2 ). (Note: From the parking lot to the hole many ways, in addition to rickshaw, orbital pulleys, and battery cars can reach). Passing through a small village scenery really is good. Under the rain is still, even sitting inside rickshaw also still have to Dazhao San. Driver quickly told us the destination, though it is not a hole, the following needs of our own way to climb appears to have been slaughtered by a driver, so-called no injustice is not happy Well. Five minutes before the line came to the kwan'am's "Journey Into Amazing Caves," Import and Export (kwan'am: 60 yuan / person, including tour guides, sightseeing elevator, small train and underground river tour boat fee) will be waiting for a guide, see no other tourists on the belt Both of our hole, and this is really special treatment ah, because it will generally take a guide with dozens of people, like us to eat special treatment for the situation is rare, no wonder people keep us cast envious eyes.
Kwan'am scenery in general, and other caves, as nothing more than some stalagmites, stone pillars, Shiman, stalactites, people rely on imagination, prepared in accordance with the stones inside the cave, a strange story. Of course, kwan'am also has its own characteristics, it has the longest underground river cave country, a great cavern of space, the highest point there are as many sixty or seventy meters high, coupled with investors, Off the beaten track to install a small train in the cave, tourism elevators, although there is destruction of nature can not help but suspect, but it greatly increased the ornamental, with its magnificent momentum and diverse forms of tourism makes up for lack of cave scenery. Inside the cave is the most attractive part of my underground river boat tour. In order to maintain its original mysterious underground river did not install any lighting only in the side of each seat on board there is a flashlight can be used for visitors to light. Another walk in the cave under the bridge listening to the Zigzag Bridge on the sound of roaring water is also a big enjoy ah! In the tour's end, sightseeing elevator has been sent to us from the cave above the hole, there are more than 60 meters vertical height of it. Visit kwan'am took a total of 70 minutes.
Another export from the kwan'am "Green scaling ladder" out of its hole, down by gravity pulley (30 Yuan / car, can take the two), in clear water along the Castle Peak speeding down the track, this feeling I wonder if you tried did not really to feel so cool. Down the pulley is said to still walk 20 minutes to get to the parking lot. Fortunately, there was no looking for another means of transport but the honest foot, and it did not miss the beauty of their way. The path leading to the parking lot was built along the Lijiang River, lush vegetation on both sides of the way, there are several small suspension bridge. Can choose to walk on the riverbank in order to properly appreciate the Lijiang River Spring, but also along the path forward, full of fragrance inhalation of soil atmosphere.
13:40 From lawn parking lot to return 15:10 arrive Guilin, still remains a bumpy mud, and good for lunch or will not spit it out. Rain is also the next stop, we boarded the bus straight to stone in mind that San Taiwan rice within minutes were exterminated.
Back to the hotel took the luggage arrived at Station Square, the rain is catching up with a group of buses to Yangshuo, 16:30 drive, all the way smooth, an hour later arrived in Yangshuo parking lot. Yangshuo looks no different from other southern towns, I do not know why the famously. In the following few days, we will be a little bit to feel the difference between Yangshuo and found Yangshuo in its essence.
Under the rain is still out of the bus stop is the new West Street - West Street to extend the new section of road on both sides of the stone is a small white building in uniform, driving a variety of transactions, there is to open Internet cafes, Kaifan Guan, and selling arts and crafts , selling clothing; off a new West Street West Street is the world-famous, because in the rain, no street people, all kinds of bars appear desolate, there is no anger. We are struggling with dragging luggage around in the rain, inquire about the location of Four Seas restaurant, it was up from time to time struck up a conversation asking whether we need to tour guides. Finally found a girl under the guidance of the hotel, has fast six, and are fortunate to be returned to us actually universally Retention room, because the universal standard rooms have been filled, and if he does not leave room for us, we had braved the heavy rain to the streets Zaiqu are looking for.
Universal standard rooms small, no sofa, all devices are pocket-sized; outside the window is a residential building, separated by less than two meters, and we had all day, pulled the curtains. But the price of 80 yuan to live to such a room I've been very satisfied, and Moreover, it is still warm and cold air-conditioning, which in the coming days helped us a great deal. Settled immediately after network with business travel arrangements for tour guides to our contact Hsiao-I heard that tomorrow there will be two other people walking with us, Lijiang, an appointment at 19:30 in the "Red Star Express" bar meet again to discuss the future of specific arrangements.
The only one pair of pants and sneakers were soaked, and had to go out wearing a pant and sandals outside, or cold, no one like me wearing so little. An appointment before visiting the rough a bit West Street, found that the street is not long, also like Five, six meters, mainly from the bars, crafts shops, and departments of tourism services. The style of small souvenirs, basically and all the other tourist attractions to sell souvenirs or less the same price Guilin expensive but cheaper than in Beijing.
And the tour guide and two from Shenzhen Dong Mix in the "Red Star Express" chat for a while, the next day to determine the set time and place, the only worry is that the rain will be the next stop on our plans. "Red Star Express" is not flattered by the steak, lemon tea taste good, I heard that pizza is the West's best, but have no appetite for a taste. Dong took us to buy a raincoat, 7 yuan / piece to prepare for tomorrow's walk by. At this time the rain had stopped, and West Exalted gradually increased, many shops opened one after another lantern This is beginning to show some of the busy West Street scene.
We decided to find a mess at home too dirty laundry to wash the trousers look, did not expect the entire West went so far as there is no a dry cleaners, are to be washed and then ironed dry, and both are charged. I really do not understand that if I did not pay him to iron dry, did not he would give me the wet pants count finish the job? No way, we had to put pants on the "Lisa" bar, saying good morning 7:00 take, and hoped to be able to wear clean pants.
Back to the hotel front desk when bought two hand-drawn map of Yangshuo (6 yuan / Zhang), back to the house to savor. Later discovered that the map actually accompanied by a number of bars restaurants discount coupons, buying is still very values and decided to leave, buy a few more before the back to give love to travel with friends.
