A person's Southwest Bank of Longsheng chapter
From the hotel out of radio and television, three minutes walk to the bus stop. Guilin to Longsheng climbing the first class was 6:30 AM, Express bus is 7 points, are 20 minutes intervals, idle 13 yuan, 16 yuan Pakistan soon. I got to the station, just 8:20, a fast bus to Longsheng soon leave the. Quickly buy a ticket on the bus, boarded it, people are still not much of a sweep, did not find that the encounter yesterday in Lijiang Zhejiang donkey. Rear of the vehicle without leave go, give me a big package also looked for seats. Quasi-car point of view, waiter deft distribution of mineral water, newspapers, and motion sickness drugs, car VCD stood relaxed music. The morning sun bathed the land in Northern Guangxi, roads on both sides of the small poplar verdant shoots appear vibrant in the sun, spring, so that sitting in the car and I lifted the mood yesterday, already without a trace of fatigue on foot a.
Guilin to Longsheng 78KM, about 2 hours. Road, both sides can be seen from time to time caused by delayed, amid the hail of red mound and dumping small branches, but always said the road is quite good. I have this person in the ZN's also not forget the pursuit of FB, while knowing that soon can not come to Pakistan in a peaceful rural customers can not be in a peaceful rural direct transfer to the dahushan, but still feel that sitting in spacious and bright and clean and more comfortable on the fast bus , also had to waste some more time. Donkey had to go to terraced fields, but also to sit idle, to the peaceful countryside after the vehicle at the roadside and other bound dahushan of the CMB, want to go to Dragon's Back terraced fields, and to get off yellow Luo, tickets 30 yuan, want to go to Dazhai, and sat down terminal dahushan.
Unknowingly went to the Longsheng, Longsheng County, gave me the first feeling is quite busy, modern. To Longsheng, he immediately went on the cars dahushan of the CMB, 6.5 yuan, the car is very clean, but also the prospective point of view, 20 minutes. When you drive out of the station when a passenger car only I, but fortunately, they pulled in the street five or six, or even where I feel bad for the owners. To a peaceful village, turn off the car park waiting for passengers in the village 20 minutes to take this opportunity, I bought off the root ball-point pen, and in Guilin Flanagan bought exactly the same, but cheaper Ermao money, 20% oh.
After starting the car, I told the conductor to ask about Aunt Dazhai terraced situation, Aunt enthusiasm out a greasy terraced map to seriously introduced, and said that the scale of Dazhai terraced bigger and better than the Dragon's Back terraced fields of view, this consistent with the on-line information. I said I was going to Dazhai, and Aunt put a person in front of me said that he was going to go and people to build off of this Dazhai stack, the workers who turned to chat chat with me. Aunt said that out of the car I can tell that the workers with the mountains, so as to avoid the wrong path. Driving through yellow Luo, no stop, looking out the window and saw dozens of outlets while dressed in colorful ethnic costumes, Yao off the women are bored to sit resistance to the chat.
By dahushan I have is myself and that the workers of the two passengers. An avenue Dangzhe bars in front are roads, cars can only be reached here. The car, immediately came up to 35 rejoice. One asked the price, it really is the predecessor of the ten-dollar words, I'll bargain with them, earnestly warned them that it is now off-season, you idle is idle, cheap point is also earned Well, or else I am with the man walking up the hill a. They see me carrying a huge backpack, have expressed my strong doubts about the mountains on foot. Said that there are ten kilometers up the mountain, to go more than two hours it! "What kind of a two-hour? I walked more than six hours yesterday it!" No letter? I pull up posture, step left open. Walk a few steps, looked back and found that there is no one rejoice over the now, and my heart seem to have some contradictions, such a hot day, two hours is really not good fruit eat them. Is a dilemma, a roar of a washed rejoice front: "six money or not?" Wen Yan Dai Hei, I probably have an effect of the hearts and minds battle, and the ah!
Along the way, your Excellency's clipped the chassis N times, turn off three times, I helped cart off three times, finally to reach the end of the road. Frankly, this section even in the off-season, ten-dollar is also a great value. To listen to the drivers said the plan to 51 the opening of this highway is necessary, but the scene of the road personnel, equipment and the status quo of view, is a castle in the air when the opening 51, to the opening of the National Day can be even higher efficiency.
Stepping on a rock in a creek off to wade across, and then a bend Shui Po, Tai Zhai appeared in front of the. Is Dazhai, in fact, also one hundred or so households Yao Jia, most of the houses scattered in the foothills, some of the mountain themselves up. All the houses are built of wood, the bottom is used to raising pigs and chickens, second and third floor is the living person. Cuntou is a school, big Zhai national primary and junior high school to organize together. Just as I was standing on the dry fields before the school shooting school, the leftmost one on the second floor window suddenly opened, a girl wearing a light green Diao Daiqun of the United States appeared in my eyes, was so beautiful, I am the The trip saw the most PL's crush! She also saw the leng in the fields of me, turned light disappeared. . .
Dazhai reluctantly bid farewell to school, I go into the mountains along the stone path through the big Zhai, plow to a higher office Walled Paqu. Tuozhe floor tile horses walked split step beyond me, horseshoe step on the stone, the issue of the crisp's "tick, tick" Tisheng, breaking the silence of the cottage afternoon. The Yao people here warm and kind-hearted, whether young and old, see me, all with a smile to greet me: "come?" "A person?" "Come take look at it." Hearts and minds of their laughter, let me think the sun did not seem so hot, and this is the home ah! Just by the sound of greetings, I felt that I chose to Dazhai terraces undoubtedly be extremely correct.
Climb up the high ground of large Zhai be far away from the farms Walled yet, and sat under a tree or take a break, overlooking the foot of the mountain villages and terraced fields. Zhai is also some large terraces, but smaller scale, Daejeon Tien also Hill Village, so visitors view terraces, generally to the fields to the Village. Yamashita's school has a small playground, in a small cottage there should be a landmark building. Bright side of a black flag flying in the residential context, particularly the eye-catching, a student playing on the playground. I do not know why, this picture made me think, I suddenly remembered that song, "a big tree,", think of the movie "King of Children", think of dandelion flowers and weeds.
A lot of forks in the road up the hill, and whenever I can not tell which way, I stopped, by the way rest and bird-watching, until someone came, and then ask ahead. To a pocket-sized version of the covered bridges, remove the backpack and binoculars, water bottles and other pendants, sitting "beauty by" on the valley enjoying the damp mountain wind blowing Qingling really comfortable ah! Along heard coming from the top of the voice, Dento Walled finally drawing near.
Walled into the farms, the same is very quiet and peaceful, do not see a few people. Have been two more, not eating lunch, they found a home gold pit hotels, entry points, a small bamboo fried eggs, bacon and leek soup. Are eating, they come in wearing a straw hat was sweating profusely in four middle-aged man, after coming here and talking and laughing loudly boss. They were neither the local Yao people, nor donkeys, a man saw me eating rice, carrying his cup on the Wai come say hello to me. Reveals that they Longsheng County Tourism Bureau's leaders to visit farms Walled work, they look at me is the tourists, they asked me have any suggestions or comments. I said I have just come here, forget about things too deeply, only two aspects of personal feelings on the hair-point proposal bar. First, from the Great Shan into the mountains to the road too difficult to go, they have scurried to a nod, saying that they were also having just taken over an hour up the trail. They said that Highway 51 to open, which I expressed doubt, they later said that before the National Day will certainly be repaired. This is a good news, but there are also bad news Oh, they say after the road repair will pass terraced Dazhai charges, and may be even more expensive than the Dragon's Back, was 50. Alas, donkey were about to swim free of charge Dazhai terrace, available early as possible of the.
Secondly, I said to the farms, whether from Dazhai Village, or in the terrace between the spots, or plow to the Dragon's Back of the mountain, there were no road signs. I suggested that could be adapted to local conditions to establish the rich characteristics of terraced simple signs in English and Chinese, or even directly to the Chinese and English road signs painted on the roadside stone, not much money to spend, but also greatly facilitate the visitors. They listened to each other between the immediately say, should first carry out road signs up. To leave the terrace for almost a month ago, I do not know where the signs somehow not?
When I put the last piece of meat to eat which goes, it is 3:30 a. Dazhai wanted to read one or spots on the foot on the 2nd to the Dragon's Back, but the sun shines brightest, but also and Dragon's Back terraced not as good as here, act decisively and not Dragon's Back, and tonight live on the farms. During meal-time, with the gold pit boss of the hotel chat chat, I discovered that it is in the "south-west bank plans to" inside out with the then home, and, last night I was in Guilin, home to the hotel that the owner of PAN Qiong Xue call Unfortunately, numbers have been changed can not get through. I quickly pulled out a share of plan, pointing to the above print "PAN Qiong learning" in the name and let the boss see PAN Qiong Xue, PAN Qiong Xue Gonggongzhengzheng see your name printed on yellow paper, laughing. So, the next bargaining has become an easy and pleasant handy Shier, PAN Qiong learn quickly promised a bed ten-dollar money. Of course, the food price is not cheap, just to eat a soup with rice, 15 yuan. At this point, to correct outdated information on the previous Gong Lue, idiopathic gold pit hotel phone once again, contact PAN Qiong Xue, telephone 0773-7584196.
Upon saying this, PAN Qiong school took me to see the room on the third floor, casually I picked Which, anyway, tonight, the whole inn, and even the entire cottage on my one customer. Pick one for the terraces, open two windows of the room, opened the window, across a distance stretching from the foot of the mountain the previous layers of grade-level terrace, near a hill, round a small terrace Peak Lane was also filled with water even in the sunlight like a mirror Side shiny surface, the foot simply is terraced, and let me look at a commanding terrace, as if looking at a grade level, has been leading to deep center of the earth Department. Col There are a length short of the mountain, let the sun tan white shake, and from time to time Yao women carrying wood used in building slowly passed. Here, men seemed less than women, maybe men are gone to work overseas, leaving behind a woman who provoked a variety of farm work burden. Often met with them in the mountain road, I always stop and stand by the roadside so that they should pass, and nod and smile with each other and their compliments, I sincerely admire them!
Stay there, I go to a lightly armed, on the 2nd viewing places head in the sun, climb up on the Peak One concept is almost attractions, is already a sweat, but all I could see the beauty of so hot I forget, forget the fatigue. The distance is the Dai-green mountain ranges, across the whole mountain are cultivated into terraces, from the foot of the mountain rolled from, layer upon layer, the momentum of Bang Bao, incomparably magnificent. Half-slope at the three connected to a small hill, but also three round hilltop terraces, which are filled with water, as if the eyes of three tenderness Feelings are with the sky in the whisper whisper, they are so one-year after year and keep looking at the vicissitudes, keep looking at the cultivation and harvest. Suddenly, I feel that this is not absolutely terraced layers of mother earth is round after round of the ancient Shensui wrinkles on the face ah! Her selfless dedication, hard-working, Is it not the mother's description of what we do? !
One view from the scenic spots down, went on the 2nd scenic spots. Field walking in the winding paths, the upper and lower left are the same terrace, inadvertently, people in the midst of which the terraced fields. At this time, I thought I was a hurry to cattle, blowing the flute of the twilight owned by farmers. Terraces along the winding hill and do is a beautiful terrace, and completely forgetting heaven's graceful lines, far better than thin ring of fat-yan ah!
Back to the inn, lying in the windowsill watching terraces, Hu Ting out there was a male voice to bargain with the boss, and later to a female voice, I turned around one, Oh, is it not that when you walk in Lijiang Zhejiang seen do? Phase, as the laugh, hearty talk about, I said I thought you went to the Dragon's Back does. They said that early in the morning starting from Yangshuo, all the way and turns, in large Hushan invited locals to do the same bus as a guide, from small path to the mountains for two hours before. Coincidentally, that guide is this hotel underboss. It seems to me over the lazy dog, is really a nice ring to ah!
Are talking about Deqi Jin, from the telescope saw mountain path was again dragged its feet coming five backpackers, step a shake, it seems to go is cruelly. After a while, they are separated by a 5 a slowly appears in front of the hotel, the three of us were busy downstairs lined drum. They are from Guangzhou, South China University of senior students, taking advantage of the eve of graduation out of "social practice". Besides, we actually have found this inn, Zhen Shiqiao ah, it seems that tonight there will be crowded.
Before dinner, we sit on small stools, chatting with the owner to see if they are stripping a small bamboo shoots, carrying chicken and out. I think the landlord proprietress wearing huge earrings, and asked that she would not hurt, she said used to like. Yao women pierced ears from an early age, married after the wear silver earrings. Earrings large and heavy, to grow up bar pull ears, making ear, ear lobe longer deformed. She told me that if you do not wear earrings, wear red clothes to look good in Yao ethnic. It seems that beauty is always a price to pay, East and West alike. Moreover, there is a beautiful geographical features, if unfamiliar with local customs, the beautiful would have been misread, such as urban adolescent girls in order to lose weight and poor feeding, make sure that the mountains are not even dream of eating a Baofan girls grabbing .
Boss took out a red Yao Hand Embroidery T-shirt, who Zhejiang MM put on, it really was other kinds of customs, the shiny, the image is simply a spokesman for Dazhai terraces. We Doukua good, and that five students in Guangzhou, so you compete with wins, the race to put on this jacket, put on all the exaggerated funny POSE, frequently pressed the shutter, everyone, including the main Inn It is also seen wreathed in smiles, laughter rang in the night sky terraces.
To eight began to eat dinner, killing two chicken, prepare a broth, stewed, white chopped, small shoots fried bacon, fried eggs, vegetables, as well as fried bracken, drinking cold beer, far apart in the Kan. Out the window, full moon in the sky, also do not see the brilliant Star, and was a little disappointed. Moonlight in the terrace and saw day completely different, vague, hazy beauty of being a trace of a mysterious mountain tops, after the rains seem to have days of dense vegetation, or insects humming cicadas, who knows, tube It does. In such a away from the city, away from the hubbub of the mountain, nothing do not have to do anything do not have to think, make you tired soul good to take a break bar.
Finished, and the boss and a great debate was held in commodity prices, from the clothes and talk about the final tie-in sales of clothes, meat, chili powder, silver earrings and silver bracelet and so on. Would also like to get up early tomorrow to see the sunrise terrace, we rest on their wash. Cottage low water pressure, water heaters or out of cold water on such a high mountain on a spring night, a hot bath of cold water would also be a people remember the profound thing.
More than five points the next day, the sky still be in the dark, you get up into the mountains to watch the sunrise. Can be out the door, fluttering strands of rain drift so that we understand that today's sunrise is to look at Buzhao a. But we still with enthusiasm to the concept of spots on the 1st climb, I have a flashlight in the front leading the way, walking and listening to the roadside bird. To on the 1st point, the sky was slightly bright, large group large groups of the mist from the foot of the mountain roll-on, to the magnificent terrace covered with a veil, making terraces adding to its charm. We are eight people from different places, in this group photo to commemorate in the SARS period, the stranger in the Dazhai of us spent a pleasant terrace shared a warm experience.
Back to the inn, ate two dollars a bowl of egg noodle soup of shear, we bid farewell to terrace, bid farewell to farms Walled started down the. Up the hill difficult, downhill is not easy, even if stepped gingerly, wet stone still letting slip our feet. In Dazhai village, a few innocent and lovely child smile looking at us, I told them greeting: "Hello!" They heard this, he kept learning, I shout "Hello!" "Hello!" Roughhouse with each other , one played with voter support, Chi Liu look, slip on the stone, attracted everyone else laugh. Passing through the school, and we consent, but also shot a few into the PP, although the school is extremely simple, but the Morning Reading time voice loud reading a book, childish immature, and mixed with the voice of reading English, so I can see clearly a nation that is studying, knowledge, forging ahead of the shadow!
To the intersection, there is no one rejoice, because yesterday, this is to walk into the Dragon's Back, after, from the Dragon's Back down the mountain, so that the drivers have no appointment. The three of us decided to walk and waiting for a train, in the sky are inundated with rain Xu, just hurry. About two kilometers away, to a one rejoice, and we Yaoding six dollars, from me down, then told more of the car to. And they waved goodbye to each other treasure, I'm going to three rivers, they are back to Taizhou, Zhejiang, and I specifically reminded them that they have to live radio and television Guilin Hotel. Perhaps we will never meet again, but the two encounters have been very pleased with me, and wish you a safe journey home! Friend!
To the foot of the mountain, from the CMB dahushan bound Longsheng quickly opened. Looking back and then look a hill, the beautiful terraces, Zhejiang Mix, Good-bye! My car is only a passenger, the driver and conductor had seemed lethargic, but fortunately, to the outside, one after another on the number of people. Jinjiang pass to see an iron chain bridge, a tour guide is leading a four foreigners cross the bridge, Mangwen locals, they told me that there can be on the Dragon's Back, and do not buy a ticket Oh. I am also after the National Day for the donkeys were worried about how the free tour terraces do, immediately found a way to really get the whole are not tasks are. After the donkey can ride to Tai Shan from the car, get off at the Jinjiang, from Jinjiang on the Dragon's Back.
11:30 to Longsheng station, immediately to the Sanjiang one another on the car, the car sitting is full to the brim, and let me be very surprised. But the next bus to wait 40 minutes, well, squeezing spots on the crowded points, or on the bar. Pedestal sitting on a small stool, holding my big bag, listening to the car VCD Wu Bai's songs, they shake so sway left Longsheng, to the southwest of the third leg of I, Sanjiang CHENG Yang Boasting Jinfa .
