Trip to the southeast of Guizhou
February 4, 2003 (fourth day), five members of his: political commissar Chen, captain yellow, to pay captain Zhang, photographers beams, young Zhu, sitting K111 (Shanghai - Guiyang) 9:10 departure time from Shanghai and reached Qiandongnan Carey is the second day (fifth day) afternoon 1:10 pm. Station entrance with CMB 1 yuan / person Bus Station directly. The shuttle to the West River 1:00,2:00,3:00 afternoon, and we just catch up with 14:00 of the CMB, to the Xijiang River is not the ticket window to buy the car directly buying on line, this car was not very punctual generally filled will advance a little open, as dissatisfied with it may have to delay sitting, hard to say. All the way to the West River Road is set on the road is not very good, is a newly opened Stone dirt, close distance, about 60 kilometers to the West River was originally going to Ray Hill Bypass to go. (In the car for the vice-captain Zhang, chat with a girl quite in warming up, and we are still muttering how one would go out looking for the girl!)
We reached the West River more than two hours, a little over 4:00. By coincidence, when the sun sets, 1000 Miao Village is in the mountains to the west, from the top of them are listed, in the West of Ri Yang sets and shining, look particularly prominent, spectacular. In a sparse trees on the slopes of yellow, like the two horns supine with the composition of Diaojiao Lou, is extraordinarily eye-catching. Yoshiya! Wu Hu! "Khan is not啦"! (To use the Dong language, the meaning of cheering)
Car along the slippery slope down to have to go to the stockade, we're not into the stockade, in the middle of the hillside let out of the car parking in advance. Pay captain left Xiao Song Zhang seize the phone (we later learned that the girl surnamed Song in the car). Started taking pictures to see enough to shoot enough, and along the way into the stockade ---- West River. (Miao Village in the mountains to the west, so the best film of the comrades a good time to count after 3 pm, you can also see the sunset all). In fact, the Xijiang River is already very well developed, not to mention electricity, water, as well as China Mobile, Netcom, China Unicom, transportation, etc., were all which have been. There are many small hotels, in addition to festivals and some national costumes, the nation in time of peace has been hard to see the costumes, and the presence of either Diaojiao Lou, really thought it was a village of the Han do.
(Of course, this time we travel the greatest feeling is that regardless of a few days after the Dongzhai, Basha people (Miao's faction), even if that is Yangshuo, from the beginning of the first leg of the villagers feel the honest, warm and friendly .)
Economic sense on their side still in its infancy, there is no point to cheat the consumer is also very fair, reasonable, and remain in place until further unexpected surprise us cheap. In the Xijiang we live in is called Miao Zhen Jie in a hotel, 6 yuan per person, rooms OK, the owner is a young, very polite, warm, room and board one-stop service to bacon, sausage as the main meat, Wai furnace is that they eat the other side of the form, regardless of the guests, or their own, the bacon, sausage everything, sit-ting around a hot pot on a shelf, with a big vegetable get another sort of began to eat, and kinda have taste. We went to the stockade, pay captain Xiao Song Zhang a hurry contact with the thought of her family to see (mainly Zhang a bit like her), really Xiao Song came, very warm, inviting us to her house guest. Her home in Miao's highest point, bypassing the Miao households rugged mountain roadside buildings every household Pan raises pigs, and the environment a little bit dirty (like most of China's rural areas).
Miao Village is almost invariably built on a slope, in the construction to the lower when it first played with stones or wooden pillars and flat, there's a flat surface on the plane and then take the room, in order to moisture is perhaps the need for space for the subsidiary often made the house from the air, above the lives of people, the following wood pile, or to support their families build and so on. This is the Miao Village of Diaojiao Lou.
Xiao Song's house there are not many went to, and this time the sun has already sets and shiny red sunset sky, the small Soong has seven brothers and sisters, she was third, there are two brothers, the children are four brothers and sisters, his family was not rich . Although Xiao Song dressed quite in refreshing, jeans, mobile phones, heard her played in Shenzhen workers, in order not to trouble her home, but could not push her to retain the enthusiasm, decided to leave Chang, vice captain, but also for fear that he was drunk excessive and can not be down, so that photographers stay accompany beam. The three of us down to look for a hotel.
The results of five of us were the only one meal in the West River is also a separate food. Three in the shop and bought a chicken, making pot at the end, drank a bottle of locally brewed rice wine, rice wine, but it is not Zende, without the Wenzhou region's "Laobaigan" taste good. Later it transpired that the two of them in small Song eat like us, taste the same, but they are more of a color.
Get up at 6:00 the next morning. Last night we had a good contact with the Pakistani driver, his car in the morning from 6:30 am starting to Ray Hill, West River (Xijiang to Ray Hill is the first shuttle 6:30,9:00). When we wash is completed, the CMB cars come, and we boarded, the driver drove headlamps, desperately sounded his horn to inform the car to start, and we have get the car until 7:00 sparse With some people, almost approaching dawn of the (as is the mountains, dawn, late), car has finally set out. Along the Thunder Mountain, hovering forward, China and Pakistan for a while, as an old ox-breaking cars struggling to climb drag, one would also like the Mustang off the rope without adventure, and asked the driver to a maximum at nearly 2,000 meters high above sea level.
40KM road, 10 points more to Darrell Hill.
Each shop by the roadside to eat a bowl of rice noodles 2 yuan of money on the side of the road and other Rongjiang car, and soon their cars, and very broken, but fortunately, there are seats, the voyage arrived at 2:00 p.m. Yung Jiang, Lei Shan to Rongjiang 120KM.
Lu Zhang planned to look at the Drum Tower and the banyan tree, one sitting a Dodo car, 2 yuan / person, in fact, this time we travel is that it is the worst place, and tickets for 5 yuan / person, one built just last year by the end of the To Dongzhai Drum Tower, the river there is not a big banyan trees at the lay quietly, Rongjiang pollution, worth a look. Back to town by car. At that time because there is no careful look at the map, in fact, we want to go to slaughter finishes is a direction could have been on-street ride to the car can pass through Fengdeng Liping (az swinging Fengdeng hill). Waiting for a train time is very long, when almost 3:00 pm, and on the package of a three-row agricultural vehicle 50 yuan, 50 minutes Fengdeng. If you do not chartered as long as 4 yuan / person enough, but all the way to pick up passengers, a waste of time, of course, chartered to talk about well, it would also take 40 yuan.
By Fengdeng off, there's the newly developed construction base, heard that at the national level, to move out Fengdeng village.
Jae-swing good, not too high on a hill, through the Fengdeng village, along the mountain road all the way up, and take nearly two hours in the evening we have places secretary brother's home, Lao Yang. The only village, his family opened a wife and children daily shop, the shop did not sell food, only to supply the villagers some of the most basic daily necessities. The villagers are very friendly, and children around the circle, all came to lovely, honest, living conditions are relatively poor. In a very simple room we have 5 people to settle down, accommodation 5 yuan, food is also his home and bought him a chicken, 12 yuan a jin. In the dinner to sing great songs than a dozen young girl has been replaced with national costumes, the door ready to wait. (This is what we let them arranged in such a great song to sing at least 10 people or more, each 10 yuan).
A village chief's daughter came in a toast (out of the village that day), sung a song, let you put a cup of wine drinking that respect. Dongzhai finished supper went to the Drum Tower to listen to great songs, the villagers have also the same as the festive rush along for the ride, in the Drum Tower lit Gou central fire from the flame slowly Health, Ying-tung, may we face red, Dong girl in the harmony of the accompaniment Next, gently sang the song, is particularly beautiful, nice-sounding. This is my first time to listen to Dongzudage life. Great songs are the Dong people celebrate the season, a traditional form of expression, which was very far. Now, with the intrusion of modern civilization, the Dong people are beginning to finished, there are many young people no longer learn to sing the great songs, and Dong In addition to great songs, the song and that is saying little, and little songs are mainly young people, Shall We Shuo Ai, in order to express their own mind that the singing of the singing in antiphonal style, and now almost a sleep. This evening is our most happy to go out one night, hand in hand with the Dong sisters dancing again, but also singing, until 10 pm only came to an end, but also get enough.
Jae-swing name: Rongjiang County, containing Ma Xiang Dang village slaughtered.
Jae finishes Village is still basically maintained a relatively well-Dong customs, because of traffic inconvenience, little contact with the outside world, little village, only 100 to families, coupled with not many people have come and live a quiet leisurely life. In the slaughter less than a place finishes, while a village called Jae Dong, due to time reasons, did not go, it is estimated with the slaughter swing the same.
The next morning (seventh day), days of rain a little hill, like the rain again like a fog, ground damp, and very slippery, Tien Meng Meng Liang, down the. It took almost the same time, with the uphill to the intersection, which is a road Rongjiang to Liping to Rongjiang car a lot. We still sat an agricultural vehicle 5 yuan / person, 10:00 back Rongjiang. Mailiaochepiao, 14:00 came Congjiang.
In the car we come across a small yellow three girls and a leader Dong.
They are a place in Guiyang singing performances, the Spring Festival just to go home, have been more than a year did not go home. Along the way we talk things Dong, used in the slaughter learn knuckle finishes count Zodiac (Dong people are counted with your fingers to Zodiac), the three girls, quite lively, but also with our singing in antiphonal style, quiet vehicle suddenly crowded together, laughing one, they are warmly invited us to their hometown to play ---- Xiao Huang. Originally, we intend to do to Dong Xiao Huang plans to go, plus their introduction, warm invitation really hesitated. That from the River, the final decision, or gave up. The reason is very simple, time is pressing, and we Go out time on Yangshuo, if the small yellow things need to live night, the time on not enough, coupled with slaughter swing Dongzudage have heard, though Xiao Huang The stockade bigger, people will be singing more well known are also great, or give it up.
The Congjiang called a facet, and 50 yuan to the Basha back and forth. Now go to Basha asphalt road are, quite good, car has always been open to the Basha village, roll secretary received us. Basha in the 50's when the central government during the great national unity will be transferred to Basha Miao nationalities, but he is with the Miao sac to other days, whether it's clothing Ye Hao, beliefs, Ye Hao, living customs are not the same. There is a large stone in the village still says "Basha nation" before. It seems from their hearts are not willing to classified Miao, but Basha is too small, the population, but 2,000 people. Retention as the men's head like horns braids, waist knife stuck in the past, there are guns, and now have all been confiscated. A few people have guns, but also must be registered in the register of. All men and women villagers still wear the national costumes down to the black cloth from the dye-based belief in the sun, in the festivals together, facing the sun, they would blow Lusheng, to pray for fine weather. Young romance in the slope to fight a fire, while Kaohuo, side play to play. Always accompany us roll secretary Akira play the whole village, return to Cuntou, each gave him a 6 yuan regarded as tickets money.
Back to Congjiang.
Because from the River to Longsheng, the car no longer exists. Only 3:00 into the final group of three rivers of the car, we had to get on to the three rivers.
Originally Sanjiang we can go CHENG Yang Boasting a result, in order to hurry, nor think of it, eat dinner, pack of 150 cars were on the bread arrived Longsheng, when 10 pm have been much more.
Eighth day (8) early in the morning 6 o'clock, in the Longsheng package cars vans, 100, straight to Dragon's Back, 1 hour later to the Dragon's Back parking lot, received tickets yet get up, 5 people saved 150 yuan, up the mountain , the sky fog Meng Meng, a pity! Pavilion at the moon, after eating breakfast, fog or not to return the look. At this time we have been extremely weak yellow captain did not want to climb, and that is to return to parking lot waiting for us. Was aware of this and so on, we journey on the left behind four of the. Dragon's Back is no turning back, the captain of yellow given a free hand went to the Longsheng Hot Spring (from the Dragon's Back 60KM), after something happens because of the company, he went home early.
In the Dragon's Back Mountain, we also know the two girls Jinan University in Guangzhou is precisely the ride, although few of the captain, but not lonely, all the way cheers small language. Is the photo did not film the fog is too great, but we can see that Dragon's Back terraced really spectacular, is a good place for photography, will have the opportunity to go once again. In the afternoon we arrived at the Guilin, 11, bought four tickets, we went straight to Yangshuo has. Guilin to Yangshuo, the car at the train station parking lot ride, every 10 minutes, 10 yuan / person for three days in Yangshuo places, the whole is playing a two day, it had hidden. Our content is as follows:
Living in the West, the world interlocking youth hostels, 30 yuan / person per day. (Yangshuo's most famous dishes is Pijiu Yu is the use of carp from the river to do. Yangshuo have three great treasures: hot sauce, Rufu, three Huajiu.)
Ninth day (9 days) at the Hostel called the guide 30 yuan / day, borrowed a bicycle, 20KM to Baisha Town, Yulong River rafting, 6 hours, had hidden! Drop though not too big, but the landscape, the voice reveals a picture of Yi Gu ideal world, a beautiful sight! Almost no visitors, occasionally a few "donkey" from the river walk, lunch is also a riverside farm in the shed beside the river take the meal, fish dishes are the most fresh, delicious tofu fish, tasty very a.
The workers and peasants to large banyan tree floating bridge bike tour has brought us over, and here is the famous banyan tree Yangshuo Park, is also a Third Sister Liu's hometown. We are a line along the country lanes (Yangshuo dedicated fans have contributed to a road bike routes, Yangshuo to sell hand-drawn map of the above are marked) 20KM, back to hotels, eating at night in the West Pijiu Yu. Yangshuo West Street is best to eat at the Pi Jiuyu or blocks the left side of a roadside food stalls, cheap. There are also the bar, but maybe you points, but after a waiter is to go get from the big stall, we must take notice. Of course, if you pray for environment, nothing in order.
Malaysia and Singapore (on the 10th) 7 points, by car to the Yang Di 30KM, extension 25KM walk away from the river to the Hindu Town of, that is 20 RMB patterns, where the reflection of yellow cloth, sitting back to West Pakistan.
This is where we have basically the end of the journey, of course, there are some playable parts of Yangshuo, such as the Buddha Rock, Kou Yan, ideal world and so on either of these caves, some man-made, I am not interested, no go.
Away from the river and the Yulong River, away from the river is more like a canal, water pollution are also great, there are cruise ship traffic, but the big mountains, spectacular; while languishing Yulong River is more like a village girl, shallow, clear , static, foot of the mountain there are large areas of rape fields, the backdrop of yellow in the sun, especially the gorgeous look and villages in the mountains under the constant ups and downs seem so distant and ancient. In short the beauty of Yangshuo, it is natural, very simple, very sweet. Allows you to easily make you aspire to. One last cry: "Khan is not amazed."
Whole road mileage of more than 500 kilometers, the Shanghai train to ride K111 Carey, Guilin, fly back to Shanghai. A total of 11 days.
