Southwest line of a person's chapter of the Li River Yangshuo
Warmth of spring to walk away thinking they had. In determining the destination, gone through quite some thoughts to turn to the Atlas of China turned again and again, repeatedly pored over. Finalization of Yangshuo, Guilin, Longsheng, Sanjiang, Fanjingshan, Phoenix's lines from south to north, and then a day online, with reference to donkey altar, Ctrip and other travel sites StrategiesChinaInc no less than forty to fifty articles and articles Accordingly, even re-enacted unavoidably contains recipes of the southwest line of program.
Of course, every trip is always scheme can not change fast. Initially, I plan in time is 12 days, 10 days after the change. In the two days before his departure, when you buy a ticket, was told the day of the trips were canceled because not enough people, I also had to act according to circumstances, and then compress the next day, again to change the itinerary. A plan is changed also changed in the final print out of the "Southwest bank plans to" the final version into nine days. Fortunately, sometime at 8:30 on April 13, I finally boarded from Xiamen, Guilin, long-distance sleeper cars bound. Xiamen station car out of the whole cars on the three drivers, two passengers, accommodation, transport loose This point was reflected in the southwest line is especially evident, let me feel in every way a blessing for off-season trips ah!
But also because so few people in the car was very slow, all the way soliciting, 11:00 before reaching the Zhangzhou, Zhangzhou to Guilin tickets Jinshou 140 yuan to 240 yuan from Xiamen! Ate a neighborhood shop in Xiamen MM pies and comes with a McDonald's, right when the Chinese food. Continued westbound, 13:08 from Fenshuiguan in Guangdong over the past three in the afternoon arrived in Shantou, sat in the car visited the Shantou Bay Bridge, Old Jiang is also a question of words, and quite a bit similar to Haicang Bridge. From afar the bridge is located in the seaside city of Shantou, Xiamen, seems to be like, but feel better Xiamen soft.
Dinner and lunch at the Kwai Chung Tam after fears of SARS continue across Guangdong. At night, head covered with the smell of greasy pillows blankets, immersed in the foul-smelling in the half awake. 6:20 am on the 14th car to Guangxi eight steps, simply get up under the bed, sit assistant seat, with the drivers did not take a ride to a Xialiao. Was also a guest conductor of the role of Lu-yu hailed passengers Lakaichemen, inviting voice shouting: "Where?" Only to Zhongshan, "do not contain!" Vehicle-off Pingle County, see the on-street Brush the walls with the slogan "to enhance population awareness, and establish the concept of per capita", thought for a long time, but also do not understand Han mean, does anyone know?
Finally, after a full 24-hour, 1260KM arduous trek, on the 14th at 8:30 am arrived at Yangshuo. When I walked down the hold in a day and a night of sleeping cars, and breathe in fresh Yangshuo unparalleled air, it is quintana comfortable, filled with energy and ah! Five minutes later, I walked into the West from the intersection. This time the West, floating thin strands of rain drift, a serene silence. Most of the dianmen have never even been opened, people on the streets rare, occasionally a few foreigners Beizhao Bao limp limp and off, but added a lot of individual guides, scrambled to introduce my boat, cycling, when they hear I would like to Xingping to the Yang Di foot, there's a little girl asking price 50 yuan, it seems today, I saved at least another 50 Tai Yuen Oh. I slowly swinging to the West Street side of the Lijiang River, in the riverside view of a bamboo grove will be a bird, only found in the far north Warbler, quite a number of noisy.
Open the door to find a home inn, one asked, there is breakfast to eat, accordingly, within a point of entry 5 yuan a Guilin rice noodle, the waitress asked if I would like this do? I asked her a copy of a person to eat enough rice, she said with a smile, it should be enough. Guilin rice noodle eaten warm, but also by the way in this store, wash face, brush your teeth, have resolved to sit lack of long-distance sleeper cars, you can start a walk.
Went to the station, on the one Yangshuo to xingping the CMB, the prices stated are not predecessors of 3.5 yuan, 5.5 yuan Instead, Mangwen Why is that? Owners and the conductor pointed to the door with a smile stuck on the price list, the original, has been implemented since April 1 the new price list. Yangshuo very strict traffic management, one to time, quasi-point out, and the price tag could be removed from donkey were priced counter-offer of the trouble.
Along the way, few people, I have a big package to account for positions. There is a woman carrying a mother hen on the train, take the wrong car was found sitting near, and anxious to get off, and, and the conductor and several other passengers with ups and downs, cadence, the tone of the tone is quite Guangxi folk songs were some joke, let me sincerely gave high praise indeed worthy to be called Third Sister Liu's hometown ah! Within a short while, then up a middle-aged guy, step by step, and brought a thick "bucolic," It turned out that he had just been involved in a pile of cow dung. In everyone's burst of laughter, he embarrassed pulled out a roll of toilet paper, first throw large pieces of cow dung wrapped windows, then carefully wiped feces on the floor track, so it really wondered under my heart, did not he have been foreseen he would step on it with cow dung in such a roll of paper?
From Yangshuo to xingping, also four for ten minutes. Out of the car, but also surrounded by over 35 tour guides, of which one of them wielding a Swiss Army knife of the Beautiful Lady told me to man marking tactics, has been following me as I walked xingping terminals, but also keeps complimenting my Mandarin is the standard 1:00 do not like the Fujian people, so that my colleagues are fastidious about my accent, certainly belongs to splitting hairs, and Hehe.
Thanked the Zuitian guides, I started alone on foot. The xingping bridge, three old man chatting, I ask one of them to help me take pictures, surprise, he waved again and again, said: "I do not photos, I do not portrait." I explained hurriedly that asked him to help me take pictures, Only with open eyes, hands, carrying the camera away from his eyes and feet are a foot away, help me shoot the starting photo.
At this time, clear up days, and the sun glistening under the convergence Yan Li River, the two sides of the bamboo and Castle Peak Let me just like entering a one ink Dan-li. A deep breath, you can even smell the fragrance of bamboo ah! The beginning of a section of road, river, wide gentle water, walking in the river bank on the edge of the bamboo has been stopped from time to time this avenue. In a stone steps, I Shui, on the riverside path, path paved with cobblestones, uneven, not so good to go, my new shoes, but not too appropriate foot, walking speed slowed down significantly. I have consoled themselves slowly with the benefits of slow, I can bird-watching ah, anyway, as long as it rushed to the Yang Di before dark on the line. Though the package back more and more heavy, the sun also Yuejue hot, but the boundless Spring walk in the Lijiang River, the ears Jojo birds, serve two purposes, bitter, there music, its Joy has!
After a one school, but also through a small village, I was hooked on the river bank. Marched in the bamboo shade, the river winds seats seats, soak into the depths the heart, hot flashes immediately disappeared. Walk along the river bank, but also the inconvenience, the narrow river bank, and more are on the slippery mud, I do not want because of the rise of bird-watching and stumble Zhigu the river, so I nag of "walking is not bird-watching, bird-watching do not walk. " Under the heart to myself, this way, I can create a new donkey-line records: the longest time-consuming xingping to the Yang Di Walking Tours.
Over time, went to the foot of the beautiful scenery at the first one - the reflection of yellow cloth. This is the reflection of yellow cloth to what extent the United States, we invite you to take out their own version of one yuan to 20 yuan, then back it wants to think about going on to the people's currency, they represent unusual beauty ah! Has there been films MTV "Guilin is my home", which is the background image of this paragraph, and now personally be able to see, it really beautiful! Verdant mountains Antonio Chiang, a reflection in the water, the mist shrouded Ruoyouruowu in the spring breeze gently swaying bamboo leaf bamboo raft quietly while before, two egrets flying over lightly and disappeared in the green bamboo forest. At this moment, I suddenly felt the trip no matter how hard the road ahead, I have been satisfied, and I wonder if I could live in this world, the paintings How good!
The reflection at the yellow cloth, there is a peasant woman in the laundry, farmer's wife also wanted me to help him shoot ZHANG Zhao. But she made me a dialect could not understand how her mailing address, and that she was not literate. While she and I even hand gestures with a foot when the disaster has, fortunately came two farmers, This used to come in the address designated on a stone on stone, I would back down and promised to put a return to Xiamen photos sent to her. Photos have been sent to, and did not know she had received yet?
Reluctantly bid farewell to the reflection of yellow cloth, still walking along the river bank. Is limited, to the one covered with grass, trees and bamboo sandbar, where an uncle is braided river cattle. Buffalo comfortably soaked in water, so I envy not do too want to be diverted to work like cattle and donkeys forget. I also have casual look, sitting in the grass on the ground, drinking water, watching the river a while to take a cruise Wei winding. A short break, then go with the cows come home uncle walked chat, and soon came to the first crossing on foot - cold-water crossing. An uncle just returned from the ferry down slowly onto the slope, look at me carrying a big bag running from rushing to the transition, with a smile told me: "Do not worry, the ship will wait to open." Here people are not so simple, kind and warm-hearted ah! I deeply feel that their smile like a spring, like Lijiang River is full of nice and warm in spring to ah!
I was the only one transition, 2 yuan, came to Lijiang the West Bank, here is watching the famous horse paintings nine best at cold mountain village. Wear the village before, and cut cake stalls put the old Aunt who say hello and to ask for directions. Out of the village, looking back nine horse painting Hill, may be observable for a long time, they can only see a 34. Just then came a pair of carrying hoes, push a wooden handcart young couples. That's about as big as thirty-something man dressed in red T-shirt, saw me head-on with a smile, said: "Walking?" Surprised that, I hastened to reply: "walk!" And then we stood way in the chat up. His name is Shun-fa, is the cold water village, he asked me to see the horses are running in Malay, and then pulled my warm up the ridge, Dian Qijiao sharp, pointing to nine horse painting mountains, so I followed the direction of his fingers to see go, 11 refers to me. Due to the close proximity of, his spittle flew the stars are my face, I was head flashed a word "SARS", but soon feel the blush. In fact, that really worry about "SARS" should be them, "SARS" is not exactly what we were created by these so-called city, and spread do? Young Brother grown familiar with, love their home, but also young people, easier to accept new things, from the "walk" the word used so naturally we can obviously see its evident. He said he intended to do so specifically in the village give visitors the nine horse paintings mountain near the customs, if the donkey to the Lijiang River are necessary, they can play Shun Fat Brother Tel :0773-8703540, I think big brother will definitely be warm Yang is the most excellent guide candidates.
Shun Fat bid farewell to his wife, who he said faced with forks in the road on to the right direction, I am under a riverside path Po. Stones walked gingerly stepping on a Treaty, 10 meters wide creek, a stream of small woods and saw a beautiful golden color excess birds: brown-breasted Flycatcher Blue-hee. I stared closely at it, are reluctant to go see, and really very beautiful. Unfortunately, the opposite came a pair of young men and women, Flush the birds. At first glance, what about the men's grown very like a foreigner, approached each other with a smile say hello each other as they are the only seen on foot in the ass, and donkeys on the way to see the same lines, can upset do? ! Chatted and learned that they came from Zhejiang, and I walk in the opposite direction from the upstream to the Yang Di xingping, and they will have to go tomorrow, Longsheng, then Meet in Longsheng, each other a treasure, waving good-bye.
Passed at noon, on the riverside found a simple terminal, something to eat breath. Sitting on the dam, off shoes, one foot stuck it into the river water, cool, wow, a surge of coolness to the head from the soles of the feet have been through, all the fatigue and soreness have vanished. It's that sit under the shade of a foot soak, eating bread, to see their wives pound clothing, white goose floating, I do not know how long it sat, Jiang surface ships came and went, the sky Baiyuncanggou, only frozen in time, and so surf at the leisurely life on the water into the Lijiang River.
Riverside issued a stay at the foot re-leave hurry, this is one of the major advantages of self-service tour ah, you can always enjoy squandering your time. To the old village of Lijiang hotels, restaurants, roof terrace, several men and women sat in the sun foreigners Guangzhebangzi chat was much better than what I have leisure. Declined to a low-cost used to send me to the Yang Di raft of people, from the old village on a mountain hotel next to the Po. Although since this section is Lijiang edge, but that it passes from the slopes can not see the river, has been ups and downs in the forest, deserted little, but fortunately, are also few forks in the road trip is not very long, very quickly to the second Ferry - Family Island.
Island ferry near the river bank in the family of a gap in his mouth with an old man said, and kicked accidentally, a butt sitting in a mud where the river bank, fortunately, GETTY telescope okay. Island in the family transition, boatmen asking price 5 yuan, bargaining to 3 yuan, saying it was hand-cranked motor boats expensive than the ship that is also, this year also is a man worth. After a ferry and went back to the east coast, walked on the river bank, backpack on the sandwiched together with a pair of slippers with the plastic bag fell into river. Dyke is not very high, I would like to put up with bamboo sticks to plastic bags, the guessed that bamboo a scratch, scratch a hole in the bag, but also just a passing boat, Dangqi waves to bag a red, two slippers After floating on a previous one out, as if the two boats on the so away from me, went to the Lijiang River rafting.
Farewell slippers, parked next to the river bank in front of a cargo ship at a time when I brought in two cans of water have been warning chime, you think to find boatman buy some water to drink. Approached the vessel, only the old Chuanniang and a cargo owners. Chongqing owner who came here to buy grapefruit, the grapefruit acquisitions placed aboard a rented boat. I asked Chuanniang have water to sell, the elderly, smiling a bit strange looked at me, when I explained that the weather is too hot, water to drink over, grandmother said with a smile no money, and then loaded my kettle Man herbal tea. A herbal tea Xia Du, really is "from that this is comfortable." Chongqing businessmen in the side, said: "People here are nice!" Yes ah! I think I am no longer just drink tea, but also sweet affection than water ah!
Lang Ishimura walked the entire journey on foot near the end. Stone entrance to the village in the waves, are roads, a young migrant workers are also kind enough to me to introduce road Lijiang side peaks. After asked about the forty-nine individuals, and received in good faith with the help of many people, successfully reached from xingping Yang Di, I am very grateful to Lijiang people, today they told me that, in addition to scenery, there are many, many landscape outside things.
Lang Ishimura from the last transition, 3 yuan, went to the Yang Di, today took six hours on foot to an end. Exhausted, sat waiting for a train crossing. Ferry has to Yangshuo Yang Di-Palestinian cars, but also clearly marked, accurate point of view, there were very few sit Yang Di junction, 2. 5 yuan. In the road interchange to Guilin, 6 yuan, half an hour you are there.
To the Guilin Railway Station, fought to the Binjiang Road youth hostels, the driver told me that youth hostels temporarily closed due to road expansion. Fortunately, there is tantamount to plan reserve hostels above list, it turned to radio and television to find hotels, a single room, 64 yuan, in good condition and occupancy. And radio and television between the hotel at the railway station and bus station on the streets, walking to the bus stop only three minutes walk to the Elephant Park or Central Square food court are good Aunt about more than 10 minutes, is easily accessible.
According to a good dinner, Aunt predecessors Gonglue food court, a person called four or five kinds of storms food, determined to make up today's consumption to come back, because there are 78 days of arduous journey goes on it. Well fed, in Guilin, walking the streets to see PL's crush, I feel a lot of ah beautiful Guilin. On the streets singing and dancing and band performances, a small band began to West song is "Auld Lang Syne," and let me startling is that there are as many a band erhu is pulling De Qijin, so Chinese and Western, and is pretty rare, but Another flavor ah. This is presumably in order to attract tourists in Guilin, a move it, worthy of Xiamen learn.
Leiliaoyitian, back to the hotel early and stayed to sleep, had to get up early tomorrow morning to the Elephant Trunk Hill. I leave at six in the morning, 6:30 to Xiangshan Park, main entrance, morning exercise a lot of people, without consulting anybody look inside run, but I do have the security checking. Turned to walk along the river side door at no fee be imposed on the entry to visit an Elephant Trunk Hill, by the way the record the occasion. However, the toll here to open the door quickly, and thus still 6:40 scores. After the donkey had to Guilin, in order to go to Elephant Trunk Hill, you'd pay attention, and time had to back ah, otherwise, you will imitate the cost to the person morning exercises, a short dress, openly running into also. Changsha is also the case of a girl is traveling alone, had come out six days, and would also like to play all the way to Vietnam, even donkey ah. Chatted with each other a few words of blessing to each other, respectively, Sheung.
In the park near the edge of a dessert Mifen Dian Tang Dynasty, ordered a ham, Crispy rice noodles, only two dollars, taste, extremely beautiful, really inexpensive. Jiaoqian to the owner boast a few women, female shopkeepers do not be shy, but also proud to say that even the Hong Kong stars have come to the shop ate it.
On at 9:20 on April 15 to catch the fast bus bound for Longsheng, it is so, Lijiang tour to rush over, but the beautiful scenery of Lijiang, Lijiang kind-hearted people to the left a very good deep impression.
