The warmth of spring swimming Yangshuo
In March, a weekend, the thought of feeling a return to Rain in Yangshuo Lijiang and Rain can not keep up, but it encounters a breathtaking wild flowers everywhere, while the Yulong River picturesque beauty, is even more difficult for me a long time has been forgotten.
In March the weather is so unpredictable, winter clothes are intended to be incorporated into the closet, suddenly come to a wave cold, starting when the skies with drizzle, are secretly glad that finally realize their dream of misty rain Lijiang River.
Six o'clock in the morning, sleepy eyes were dim crew wake-up, and Guangzhou to Guilin, Yangshuo car has arrived, standing on the dark station, not being expected to in the rain, but the Sound from the Dark invaded body, degree of cold than expected surprise, a little shaking, and to the corner to eat a bowl of hot rice, noodle soup was not feeling much better. Into the West when the days had been daybreak, to the West, said Fan Naozhao seem deserted this time, loneliness, individual bars inn is still revealing light listlessly as if tired of telling the last night here, have occurred in all, knock These are light inn door, and perhaps are some of the inn known Surprisingly, in this off-season have full-off, and finally, Tintin inn a tall handsome brings us to the outside of them a few minutes away from the West in the another county, a division of Front Street, where conditions are better, but also quiet, of course, fall short of that kind on the West's unique atmosphere. Upon entering the room, and we will be hooded to sleep night after night sleeping in cars, virtually no how. The starting time has been 9:00 to get up more.
The first day is the essence of the Li River boat tour xingping to Yang embankment sections. Inside the station on the one most people to Xingping CMB. Xing Town in may seem small, a way to go in the end went to the pier, in the middle looking for home in the town looks pretty decent restaurant ate. Because local authorities are now in the grasp of private small boat, and some boatman did not dare to do to the Yang Di xingping business, premenstrual inquire about one o'clock on the afternoon we drive to the local fair ship, before the board was also informed that the former do not inquire about exposure to tourist identity, pretending to be local people or their relatives directly on the up, in fact, one who is able to see that we are tourists, there is a big sister to an up money, also asked how do we know they can take their boat, exhorted We do not go out walking, and so on for a while before we can ship out of Funakura outside.
Slowly against the boat on the river, just out of the warehouse, the shipping workers older sister who had money left on the front of the two pointing to a small mountain, said it was "20 yuan Service", that is 20 yuan on the back of scenery patterns of materials in place, peer busy taking pictures, but I spent all his money scrambling to dig out of control, and later discovered that there is a body, and an emergency but can not find it, but fortunately, that the timely provision of a big sister to us. I saw two small peaks towering stands in the riverside, next to have a mini-mountain, said the morning dawn light shines here, a row of peaks are clear reflection in the Lijiang River surface, illusory plausibility, magnificent, known as " yellow cloth reflection. " From here into the Lijiang River's most picturesque section of the waterway, on both sides Qifeng Emerald, rocks everywhere, an attached one peak, a peak than a peak strange, there is the Elephant Man, there are like objects, there are like animals, or legislation, or leaning, or sitting or lying, as long as you give full play to the imagination, to see what get them all. The most famous is that nine horses painted mountains, and along the river side of the towering rock, which, like such as Fu Xiao formation, the above black and yellow-white and white, like a number of painted horses, Wan Si a giant painting of natural. That big sister is also a guest on board to play tour guide, pointing to both sides of the mountains from time to time have told us that this is what the attractions, like what. But I am not very concerned about reversing scenic place, I think the United States as long as it gave me the feeling to my senses and consciousness caused by a strong feeling very satisfied, and if some sites are really very much like what , vividly, and then manually compile the stories, listen to see, they do increase the fun of travel, but some are not how elephant, be applied mechanically, as what is said, can not help but suspect there are far-fetched, do not listen worth mentioning. As for the scene in the end, as what started as love might as well let your imagination wings to imagination. Of course, some people may be the imagination is not strong, may indeed be described as the original was too far-fetched, as if my playmate, nine horses horse paintings mountain can not see.
Just put water in Lijiang, there is no clear imagination, but more like a jade ribbon Wen Ruan, blue in the green belt, with the river's depth varies rather volatile, the two sides are brown-yellow sand sandbank, and then shore up the tree hanging green, verdant daunting, fresh and green in the passing of the spring, the green garden of white flowers on another piece of the unknown, with both sides of the Qixiu peaks, and blend into one another structured. Baihua local residents told me that fish cauliflower, then I went to the fields you'll see that is a vegetable radish flowers open. Lijiang River at this time is that over the gloomy half-drop of rain does not drift down, like God intends to make fun of me, cold and fierce wind river knives, reminds us that chill of early spring, peer unable to bear it all went to Funakura go cold , and I was not inclined to let any one of beauty and has been "standing" bow.
In the Yang Di ashore Zuoche Hui county, cars and a bit on the last mountain to Guilin to Yangshuo, the Grand Duke on the road, landed a sky full of clouds like a curtain has been opened, the bright light from the gap at Zhixie down, the sun under the road on both sides of a pack of pastoral scenery, which is still far Zuozuo delicate peaks, near the broad expanse of green on the pink Li Bai, Xiang competing in the sun Doo-Yan, and my heart has returned to West Street up the foregone , in a cold afternoon in the West is full of lazy sun also been a luxury before I came to Yangshuo. After two days of bright sunshine along the way there Xiang Pei, warm day by day, God for us to wipe out the sky a cloud of depression, let's play more relaxed pleasant. However, the afternoon or not to the West in the end we go back to when they just decided to continue to sleep until nine o'clock at night has always been to big stall Street, "a tile" where to eat Pijiu Yu. Each food stall where the large sign that read, in what award-winning cuisine competition, we are not careful to have taken the bait and engage in too much can not eat it the next day to talk about the mere mention of the Pi Jiuyu!
The next day bicycle tour to the Mountains of the Moon Ji Ma line. This is a garden full of rustic charm of the classic bicycle tour route. We do not want a rush, just want a more leisurely than Yangshuo, get up relatively late, Car Rental, eat breakfast, departure has been nearly ten o'clock, to the Mountains of the Moon is a road, Yangshuo karst landforms can be said that everywhere is the scenery along the way is still is a charming scenery, the air is also extraordinarily refreshing. Mountains of the Moon on the hills can be beheld one the other side of the sky hole, Lex resembles a full moon, but a look at the scene, and its relatively low, I am disappointed. To the moon hill, most of the people on the back, and we but never to its path around the side to go, the destination is the Yulong River next to Ji gama, and from there longer follow the road back to Yangshuo. In the Mountains of the Moon passed one after the bridge is a large field, through the quiet little village, a few companions to be lifelike Jiti soon as the sound of the village cited cock sing, come and go, the masses were barking dog, a great look at our These words speak of chicken look like a monster who has taken a dislike to want to discredit the potential to get a quiet little village, after we see the cat among the pigeons outnumbered and had to quickly evacuate. Along a small mountain but on the side is a quiet creek, river Qingbi, shore, Takada green tree, blue sky飘云, Toyama Qixiu. To the slopes, shade trees on both sides, bicycle wheel creak of Montreal, was run over by the dead leaves, empty mountain wilderness, the quiet but clear easy, downhill from when I can not help but take the lead in singing "沧海一声笑... ..." Come on, do not know then how could all of a sudden chest full of pride filled bowel. Bicycle Tuozhuo who sometimes danced in the countryside Huangyou You's a small road, but the person's carts when walking in the fields on the stems, they encountered along the way to see much more than yesterday into a piece of white radishes cauliflower, purple purple Yun-ying, occasionally there are a few stretch of golden yellow rape, we are excited, and ultimately, getting lost on many occasions, we ask the way side while walking. Do not like to tour with a walk, more like holding a map to find the road feeling, a sense of accomplishment, there are constant surprises and discovery, while walking in the fields stems, the map has basically lost its significance, but the road occasionally encounter foreigners Cycling Team Let our hearts are free from anxiety. In a small village said to have nowhere to go to see a small stream, a group of peasant women chat, we ask for directions at the same time can also asked to eat in their homes, finally, in which a person eating a simple peasant meal, after all, has been two in the afternoon, and dinner when it felt that the already very hungry, and is available along the way meals Xiuse Let us also forget the hungry. Sister Aunt kept the village on his own harvest of oranges and grapefruit to give us to eat. Q clear crossing Yulong River, Ji Ma on the direction of, we hit the road, walking bring a big Shihai Shengqingnanque of grapefruit, half-way plastic with a broken, almost by our local solutions, and finally a very creative partner bicycle anti-theft locks up and only brought it to flee back. In mentioning the bike climb a mountain pass is not high not low, we finally heard the sound of Yulong River water was wonderful, and we finally reach their destination, we have found the export, we have not lost!
Yulong River Road on the building there are more than 20 half-flooded with water, dams, water storage both pedestrians have the role of wading barefoot carrying a bike crossing so many exciting things I do not want to easily let go and see the local people above Jianbu Ru-fei, I can not help but also eager to partner a little bit hesitant, I take off your shoes go on a test, the water dam slippery and cold, and perhaps those of us who reside cities, shoes and socks not leave people the functions are degradation of feet, and finally by bamboo raft crossing the past. Back to the Yangshuo has five more in the evening.
On the third day to go on foot Yulong River. This is the greatest achievement in Yangshuo, Yulong River of the North American and out to my surprise, the US's incredible, the people came after the United States unless it is difficult. Less than Yulong River is tantamount to have never been in Yangshuo, Yulong River and the best way to travel on foot. Get up later that day, nine o'clock faster, because the evening will leave, pack up the luggage, to a well-known shop is said to eat a bowl of rice noodles, dallying, to the station car hop Campbell already fast eleven o'clock. Would have been prepared starting from the Yulong Qiao suan down on foot, but the people on board that we see in more strongly promote Fuli upstream bridge, we Yulong River a tributary of the river to get off the bridge is still some years away from the rich distance, ultimately we do not have in the past, but for walking down the river, Yulong River in the Yulong Qiao following that period is the most beautiful scenery, this section of the landscape that some less, but here we have an unexpected encounter with the cauliflower over and over, This is the largest of the entire journey the most beautiful one, almost boundless wild flowers at the end of cauliflower, rape gorgeous warm yellow, the simple elegance of radish gray, warm and deep purple milk vetch, all kinds of different color phases co-exist again an integral whole, for this piece of fields between the mountains and rivers put on a colorful spring, colorful dress this piece of land. I could not help the flowers to go in, and do not care that covered with pollen, flowers sitting on the ground, but do not care about the man's backside, mud, surrounded by flowers I want, look forward to close in with the United States.
Yulong Qiao is a centuries-old stone arch bridge, in addition to its vicissitudes sense do not think that there are other special places. Bridge, the village, we ate a farmer, farm houses on the river, when a meal in the yard to see the Qing Bi river flowing from the side, feeling very special. Continue down the walk, the scenery along the way more and more good, we try to rely on the banks of the Tien River stems walk the shore from time to time there is a lone tree, clusters of tall bamboo, cauliflower pieces under the fields, water buffaloes only, with there are farmers who work in one or two, on both sides Qifeng Zuo Zuo, suan monastery is surrounded by sights, mountains and numerous, increasingly distant becoming blurred, looming in the mist up at the people walking along the river, is like walking in to the fairy realm, North Korea paintings go all the way in pursuit of the United States, but that is always elusive. This feeling, that other modes of travel, experience. As the role of dams, Yulong River flow especially slow, if not see those submerged dam dodger dodger water, almost feel it flow more like calm waters are separated by a small dam Lake, but also like a quiet side surface mirror, mirror inside the mountain, tree, bamboo absolutely still, Yulong River has a child-like at the quiet, peaceful people share a sense too gentle; Yulong River is so original, the original this was so people wandering heart flutter back Guizhen, the cynical enjoy the play together; it's beautiful, beautiful people too afraid to picturesque photo, as my buddy said the same.
Yulong River is a scenic spot has not yet fully developed, and now have only developed a bamboo raft drifting items, if not many people, the river there are no major roads, a small dirt road, also has been the coach can not see an unpleasant , the road, a few small groups of hikers, there are several bicycle tourism, but this is not the best way to travel Yulong River, because fields can not ride on the stalk, paths is still some distance off-shore again.
As the scenery several times to keep the pace, we have 17:00 minutes to get there Jiuxian, Gui Xian bridge in a hand-made map and put a small stall uncle lead the way for tourists waved to us, saying that as long as 23 years to take us away Lu can be a great road car, the results of this section of track we've got more than an hour, which also climbed over a mountain saddle. Fortunately, that particular talkative uncle, along the way words never ceased, but also for our solution of the nausea.
Be hailed on the road back to Yangshuo, eating take luggage, when the night of the bus back to Guangzhou, Yangshuo, reluctant to leave unless the clouds.
Travel Tip:
Attractions: We have traversed these places are currently still do not have tickets, the estimated range is too large, to earn income also can not. Xingping near a fishing village, as President Clinton went to become famous, which houses some of the ancient Ming and Qing Dynasties to see, this small village in the traditional emphasis on education is known throughout history has produced a lot of Sage, there may also be interested in go and see.
Mountains along the way to the moon a big banyan tree, Butterfly Spring, Moon Hill, several charging spots, in fact, nothing which is also not necessarily have to go look. Yangshuo travel rather than bothering to look at some attractions, walks by, or with the bike around the turn, you can see the beautiful scenery, there will be new discoveries and surprises.
Travel: We have three days time, relatively abundant, we can have a leisurely swim, if only the weekend two days, can be arranged in a compact point and not, we go out tourism is also up late. One day can be arranged to go on foot Yulong River, go big banyan (general drift, the end of the foot) on the road, by the way look at the moon near the mountain, Zuo Juhui Yangshuo; a day to visit Lijiang, but also ride first Yang Di, all the way by boat down the stream down to the xingping, and then by boat to see what fishing village to return to Yangshuo. Half the time can also be a day tour to the Lijiang River xingping Yang embankment sections, half the time riding tour to the Mountains of the Moon line of big trees. From Yangshuo cycling to the moon about 40 minutes, xingping to Yang embankment sections cruise for about two hours. In Yangshuo travel arrangements, remember not to travel too tight, with the remaining time to the West go shopping, take a look at people, in those very characteristics of the wine bubble Barry, hair daze.
Transport: Yangshuo County, in every town has a bus, where the above-mentioned cars are straight to the Yulong Qiao Campbell can sit under the car on the road. Guangzhou to Guilin there are evening-morning train, sleeper 180 yuan, can be sub-car to Yangshuo, Guilin, car lot, about an hour. Can also take the car in Guangzhou to Guilin Yangshuo, the frequency of many, most of the evening-morning. Provincial Bus Terminal in night luxury bus fare 150 yuan, the Rainbow Road in the western China market, go to the parks in the vicinity of Guilin, China-made luxury sleeper buses, the fare is about 100 yuan, 60 yuan is also heard that sleeping cars, do not know where the hair car. Back to Guangzhou may also be back in Yangshuo, Guilin and Guangzhou on the car, but written out of the station, there are few flights (there may be some cars do not stop stop), the price is also expensive, if the schedule time is not suitable we can ask a local travel agent will block Other trips, and they are put on cars.
Accommodation: Many hotels in and around West Inn the most suitable for the road, price of a cheap, off-season from more than 10 yuan a bed to a standard rooms ranging from tens of dollars, very clean and comfortable, like corruption, there are also hotel stay, the price With the seasonal changes in the floating section, Golden Week would be very expensive. In fact, it is not appropriate in the head Yangshuo surging Golden Week to go, when only a human being becomes crowded, will not find that relaxed feeling.
Eat: The most well-known than Pijiu Yu, but in fact is the basis of stewed add some beer and other ingredients, the taste is quite special, it is worth a try, followed by Guilin rice noodle, and also good to eat, definitely want to try the . Other flavor dishes withhold recommendation.
Last Tip: everything along the way owner-occupied travel bargain, you can also bargain. Especially those who live and ride a small private boat, they would open one that is tens of dollars, and we sit there and catch one person ship Fair 20 yuan is not expensive in comparison, but have definitely become the price of the locals sitting several times.
