2 Dunhuang Tour
1, Dunhuang Dunhuang city Quwang car is actually met a school teacher, who also play husband and wife. Exclaimed after the chat a few, but we are all in Dunhuang during the playing of all of the.
On the road very smoothly, and more on the 6 o'clock the morning to Dunhuang City. Hall went to see the first ticket to see Dunhuang hair Golmud car trips, the teacher couple going to buy the return ticket that night, and I plan different. He and they waved goodbye to go to accommodation. Dunhuang hotels, fly hotel seems to host foreign friends, and I look for in their next one, and asked for a one standard, the 60, I think that can accept and, indeed, be a good sleep in. Wash After breakfast, go out about tourist information. Mogao Grottoes and Mingsha not far away, Yang Guan, and yumenguan there nearly 100 kilometers down the road here and that rents are generally prevailing side, back and forth to 250, but is still down 67 individuals sharing a cost-effective. In accordance with the principles of the first well in recent, two should first off I want to win, and may not find people who share the fare. Look at foreigners, in particular, the Japanese slaughtered too Sibaiwubai do not care that a person went to, I would be a bit anxious. One driver told me that tomorrow there may be four individuals to go, plus I should have no problem. Said that there is still near the ancient city of Dunhuang, you can cheap points, 60 a person to pull me. I accepted it.
In fact, a film base in the ancient city of the same thing, what is inside the castle, stables, cottages, Jiusi, tea houses, pawnshops, Yamen, barracks, ranging, the same color yellow sand loess. Wall gatehouse sub-Upload the movie "Dunhuang" in Acoustic, water chestnut, killing one, and made the atmosphere a little bit. Because all of the buildings are generic, so too, as according to the Bale. Ms Alison does have a bit of Mr. calligrapher to write couplets throughout the premises kinda interesting, so bought this. Slightly Zhai few: the oil front of the store is "doing things can not be opportunistic, eating despite the exaggeration." Pawn shop door is "Murdoch is not fooled fooled, and the money to change the living dead money." Yi Guan door is "Herd drive on are both Wang Ming, Zhao-yun Muyumatui people."
2, Mogao Caves Tour came back at lunch time, five old men and women of wide experience, speak good a car the same afternoon, go to the Mogao Grottoes, very cost-effective. I asked whether they plan to go to two off, but was told to leave here tomorrow, go to Xinjiang. It seems tomorrow is still great.
To the Mogao Caves to see their first museum, so the same go. More visitors in recent years because of the Mogao Grottoes, open caves and murals vulnerable to external light, moisture and even tourists respiratory damage, I heard that had planned the typical style of caves and murals of imitation to this museum, I really only after the goods Scholars research, is no longer open to visitors. Turn full circle, no matter how good imitation of something, after all, is false. Dunhuang studies intensive huge, I obviously can not be reached a higher level. But felt that she could frescoes from different periods form the use of color and character to see something, a little complacent mean.
Cave to see real time, gather the tourists have to wait a certain amount before it can go with a guide. Our tour guides dressed in white dresses pp uniforms, wearing a summer hat, left to take only a small horn, right hand raised a bunch of keys, it is a lady. Each cave the doors closed and install two sets of locks, there are temperature and humidity recording instruments, obviously more than I see Yungang Grottoes in Datong protection measures more closely. Yungang Grottoes weathering very powerful, quite a lot of caves are open and semi-open air. I keep pp guides, carefully listening to the presentations and make the record.
We were very lucky also, saw a total of 10 caves. 328 Cave is the Tang Dynasty period, the cave is a typical roof structure covered the Big Dipper, the main release gamma respect the right and left is Kasyapa and Ananda two disciples, wood tire clay. Ananda and Kasyapa which shape is quite distinctive, Ananda face wrinkles, a look that is a weather-beaten penance Huseng, Kasyapa is Zhuyuanyurun intelligent and wise young children. 16 and 17, two caves together, belong to the late Tang period, the level of imaging relatively low percentage of deformed human body. Mural is the Xia Dynasty, Western Xia people seemed very much like to use dark green. Cave 17 is the famous Cangjing Dong, Wang Daoshi tour guide here was again curse roundly foot. 320 Cave is the Tang Dynasty, the flying shape of curve of the body twists and turns beautiful. 257 Cave is the Northern Wei Dynasty, the famous King Deer Jataka fresco, that is, that Jiu Selu story. 244 Cave is the Sui Dynasty, for the III Buddha, looks not good. 237 Cave of the mid-Tang period, for the Goddess of Mercy Manjusri Samantabhadra three disabilities, one of the more famous frescoes playing the guitar, on top of three rabbits caisson quite special, 96 Cave tire clay stone Maitreya the Luxiong loaded, the suspect later repeatedly re - plastic. 130 Cave Buddha 26 meters high, the first 7 meters, molding process has been used in the far smaller near the laws of perspective. 148 Cave Cave is a coffin-shaped, 15-meter Buddha sleep Taqian, performance is the case when the Buddha attained nirvana, Tang works. Tour ended, another tour guide mentioned that Stein, Paul Pelliot names of these people together and inspire everyone's patriotic enthusiasm.
The driver bought a watermelon to eat and asked us to carry us back, I asked him to help find a few people also go with two off tomorrow. He promised that there was a little girl in Japan may go tomorrow, he implemented the evening that, if the words to come to me tomorrow, I put my house to tell him, thinking that I hope that little girl would go.
3, Ming Sha encounter after dinner, in accordance with the information prior to departure to see, some old broad who ride together to the Mingsha Mountain Crescent Moon Spring. We are all young and quickly become partners, but also very excited. Each in front of the hotel are also available for rental car, an hour 2 money, deposit certificates can be. We changed pants, and choose the good car, and they asked no forks in the road, you crazy tread gone. Parking lot tickets, tickets are actually to be 50, even more expensive than the Mogao Grottoes, student card is also tnnd No matter.
Enter into the inside, is entirely a world of sand filled the sand dunes one after another. I Tuo Lexie socks to lace up to the neck of a guitar hanging, he began to climb sand dunes, thin sand crevices drilling up from the toe a little bit uncomfortable, they also put on socks. Then met 2 mm, and a tall foreigner, they speak English, I thought it was foreigner Please guide on the Cou in the past and intend to listen to, and foreigners approached. It turned out that 2 mm is a local, one of which called the Swallow, have been working, and the other is called Xiaoyu, now Xi'an, go to school, learning a foreign language, leave home to come to practice speaking foreigners, and they are high school students, today comes along foreigners play. Foreigner named Tony, was a young man in Australia work in Hong Kong, to vacation, the next stop in Xinjiang. I immediately introduced the old broad that they may be able to peer, Tony quite happy because he almost do not understand Chinese, probably feel that China will be more convenient with the playmate. I asked him want to go tomorrow, yumenguan, he said that he had booked the train liuyuan the evening rush liuyuan station, if the go can come back at noon. I am glad that some people do not share the Japanese girl fares, and better than I am a human being. Xiaoyu said that my foreign language well, she just thought I was the guide. I laugh a bit is because I do this dress gives me less of you're right actually spoken quite good. So chatted again gone through a sand dune. Then they found that with the old and widely separated, and have no attention to the timing got separated in. Some dark days, the sun hung in the west is about to fall look.
4, thoroughly enjoyed themselves and go down the sand dunes when the sand dunes to see the opposite side is that some people out "Yo," slipped to, so cool look. Swallow said that is called the sand-boarding, is to use bamboo to do the same thing as ice sledge, the following some wax coating will slip faster and suggested that me and Tony do.
So swallow them to go below the sand dunes Nazuo to wait for us, I and Tony then climbed across the dunes to the sand-boarding. 10 per person, put skateboard and told our attention to the matter and asked whether waxing. Upon hearing this, I translate to Tony and his two dozen sitting on a skateboard wax has slipped down. Really enjoyable. And swallows them to continue after the convergence to the Crescent Moon direction.
At this time the sun has reached the horizon, all the dunes have been sprinkled with the last golden light, the distance under the Crescent Moon Spring in the setting sun shines upon as something like the crescent moon was lying quietly. Looked at this piece of mysterious quiet desert sunset chart, I am somewhat stunned. A moment before responding over, grabbed the camera shutter button is pressed. After a few seconds, the sun seems to jump, fall down, it was dark.
In the Crescent Moon Spring side met the old broad who got separated, they did not sand-boarding, but a camel to go. Who has never seen a real camel, they are excited. Although I was not rare camels, but also very happy for them, because we are properly provided for, and was joined by.
To go back, soon 11 points, and I asked for a Tony's address, and an appointment tomorrow at noon and the old broad with a Tony to look for them, and we can all go to liuyuan railway station car hire. Tony and swallows three of them are coming by bus, you can also take the last bus back, the people that are this good and tourists are generally not informed of the availability of information such as buses. Time to say farewell Xiaoyu said that if tomorrow there is still time to find her to play. We ride back, completely dark days, and fortunately, there was wide with a tall old flashlight, when approaching the city, there is a street lamp.
Back at the hotel waiter asked whether there hot water, to go after Mingsha play, and who are all sand. Attendants said the hot water has been, and knew that if she can take me from beside the drilling to go, do not buy a ticket, and I regret it incessantly.
5, strange combination of multi-Hai Zaishui 8:00 the next day, someone knocked at the door, opened the door to see the driver actually is to the Mogao Grottoes, he said that Japanese girls are waiting downstairs to look at me. I immediately wash clothes to pack bag down the stairs to the girl to see. The girl looks very small, like a small campus of those freshman girls. She probably thought I looked fairly reliable, they nodded his head. I asked her if she would not speak English, she said a little, and then told he also had a guy in Australia has also come along with me, we can share the fare, she nodded. So I went to negotiate with the driver, the driver said no problem, anyway, a car that is 250. I bargained with him, he said that the price should not be allowed, because this already low price of the foreigner, but you can let them all out of 100, are you out of 50, anyway, they do not understand Chinese. Although I feel a little bit ashamed, but another would like devils's per capita income higher than ours, and I was a poor student, will no longer be ashamed of. Then follow the above check-out transactions, but fortunately, the package can still exist here. And then to Tony live sand hotel, found him, waiting for him to withdraw the room, save a good package, saying that a good three one-person 100, then set out.
On the road through the city, the driver asked if we go and see, I told Tony and Japan, introduced the general situation of girls, they said the two could be. I thought to myself knew that the first day of the past 60 on saves. Then move on. The fork in the road when the driver asked if we would first go to yumenguan or Yang Guan, because in both directions. I decided to first go yumenguan.
Vehicles have a very strange, as a tourist, I and foreigners who belong to the same group, but belong to different groups and the driver. But as a Chinese, I and the driver belong to the same group and belong to different groups and foreigners. Drivers do not understand English, foreigners were, and his realization of the exchange through my intermediary, which is a test of my spoken language. The three of us tourists because of their different languages can only be used to communicate in English. But Tony did not like to speak poor English, Japanese girls, my spoken language is not too good, and many place names and proper nouns of expression is very difficult, so communication is very limited. Only know that Japanese girls learn Chinese at Northwestern University, but almost do not know, because only a semester in China, my parents very much hope that she can come take a look at Dunhuang, go home. The Japanese seem to have a strong feeling of Dunhuang.
6, yumenguan former "has arrived." Driver faint to said one simple sentence. There's a ground-breaking four-block walls and building the wall had cracked a seam, the outside wall of a circle surrounded with iron railings, hung with the words: Protection of the ancient city. Dig from the wall openings into the city and found a bit which also take the scaffolding, there are two oil drums, it seems that in the repair, addition, nothing else. My understanding of "Spring is not crossing yumenguan" phrase sky imagine all kinds of poetry, at once vanished, can not help but looked a bit of shock to the Japanese girls and Tony, want to know what they are thinking at this moment.
Looked a quiet, no wind, into the heads of loess Jie Wei boundless desolation, I once again entered the city gate, his hand touched the wall has been rammed into a sudden a kind of strange feeling, as if yesterday, here is the border, a man named Zhou Huaian intention to cross the border at night when the wind whistled arrived, yellow sand rampant, and he walked into an inn, met the boss Jin Xiang Yu, the next everything you already know, and hatred, the athletic field, the pain , helpless feelings in the open desert in the outbreak to a peak. Then a big sand like an invisible giant hand buried everything, leaving only the front of the dilapidated Tucheng for me to do an unlimited imagination.
Imagine that you would say the above is totally inconsistent with the "Spring Breeze is not crossing yumenguan" This poem, the mood, I must admit that I was a lack of poetic people, because I think that a rationalist can not be a good poet. In fact, I is not a self-proclaimed rationalist, I see you have already seen in the description from my way out. I am a good wine, lust, greed food, look at Hong Kong and Taiwan films laymen. Eat Drink Man Woman, man's great desire to say I have any special features, you may feel very little intention of some Bale.
7, the Han Dynasty Great Wall, the driver told us that Yang Guan probably a similar earth Taiwan and Taiwan, if not interested, then, it is better to go in front of the Han Dynasty Great Wall, the road a bit in recent fare will be cheaper, 210 better. I asked Tony to their views, they also feel better to see a "Great Wall", want to come they may have neither seen the "New Dragon Inn", it was not necessary to read Wang Zhihuan's poem, facing Taiwan issued land is a more secluded feeling of the ancient difficult.
In the Han Dynasty Great Wall on the way to the driver to leave the rut pressure out of a driveway across the open terrain, the car suddenly some bumps along the downward slope of a large time, Tony said one simple sentence a little nervous and whispered "take care", my heart to foreigners a life-saving awareness is still relatively strong, could the driver not only do not know do not care and just play the steering wheel.
Han nothing like Beijing Badaling Great Wall, Mutianyu Great Wall to see, because it is re-reinforced Ming and Qing dynasties, but also because it can take stone, so is the brick wall. Here is the Great Wall an age-old, two had no merit in stone, so is reed bundles, Populus wood and rammed loess layers together, and I have made it clear in the Dunhuang Museum, the Great Wall to see the layered structure profiles. Many years of wind and sand erosion has emerged to make the walls of a trench more than just the walls in the Jade Gate to see a more obvious, these places should be a gap layer and layer. Nevertheless, the Han Great Wall still survive, it is rare. Consider now the bridge made of reinforced concrete dam at every turn on the collapse of the ancient wisdom of working people and engineering awareness is clearly admirable.
Back on the road to see the distance seem to have water, a rare green, so take a look at the driver in the past. Approached unexpectedly found that a group of goats, two sharp corners bent grass. Japanese girl little girl what Mind revealed, and tits ran the sheep, it seems to hold a touch, but the sheep call Lara's dispersed. Back to the Dunhuang City parted when the little girl left a month e-mail, finally know her name Mayumi Nakamura. Pay for the cab when the money according to a pre-plotting, we first had each paid 80, while no one noticed the driver and then I secretly still 30.
8, farewell Dunhuang because of the proximity and the old broad who agreed the time still early, but I bought a ticket back to Golmud 7:30 at night, so I think looking for Xiaoyu. She told us that according to the position, and I found that Tony Lengyin Tan, selling cold drinks is Xiaoyu's mother, hastens to say hello we sat down crying Xiaoyu. Tony and I were hungry and thirsty they drank Xiaoyu mother to our holding apricot skin of water. It is the local specialty, a similar sour plum drink cold drinks. As a tongue of the wishes of the ignorant and incompetent temptation of believers, I can only tell you that it is slightly sweet in a little sour, cool unparalleled, refreshing. But so far I do not know its production process can only guess from the name it might be related with the apricots.
Xiaoyu came, and to accompany us to dinner, a home accessories noodle, Tony probably also know that people here eat "noodle", on the agreed. I would like to Fuxing skin water, money, Xiaoyu mother said nothing close Xiaoyu also very angry, were dropped. In the Noodle House, I would routinely noodles, Tony will have to the soup. I would be paid for out of shop, Tony put his meal money to pay me, I am a little surprised that he actually read the price on the menu, it seems Devils squandered the money, not blindly, they must still pay attention to.
Away from the agreed upon time is almost up, the three of us together took the luggage to accompany Tony to see the old broad. We leave each other contact information, then I wish them all the way Xiaoyu smoothly, and watched them to sit six people rushed to liuyuan surface.
I asked Xiaoyu willing to accompany me through the last half a day in Dunhuang, and said she was happy to swallow to eat with us after work snack. So we are on the streets with their feet Dunhuang measuring the road, finally sitting on the parallel bars in the stadium and chat or talk about campus life and up to learn English. 6:00 more and swallows to join, she asked if I wanted to eat something, I say they want to Hezhou. So to the Snack Street, asked for a cake, red bean porridge and pickles, I immediately had to take a long-distance truck regardless of the danger of drinking two bowls.
They insisted on seeing me to the station, so I am deeply moved. Car still for a moment before opening, I would say that nothing has been reluctant to allow them to wait until the car, it will create extra melancholy, we again express their sincere gratitude to adhere to good-bye. I do not know whether Xiaoyu, and the swallows will see these words, but I think that can be faced with this problem in a foreign good, simple and sincere girl is my great luck, as the same students born in the west, I miss Napian Yellow Earth and her upbringing of children. Tony and true by the United States will see this text? Whether they will forgive me 30 money selfishness it?
9, I got on Japanese women find that their premises are close to the cockpit of a window and upper berth, compared to the rear of the double shop for a bit narrow. The car actually has met a Japanese woman, she is a double stalls, but was lying next to the Han dynasty a grin. She seems to feel very wrong, so with the changing of my single bunk below and sat down. The driver has not come yet, the car's passengers appeared very interested in the Japanese woman, someone asked the question aloud. Japanese women apparently do not understand the tone of ridicule of those with problems, but felt to be the focus of everyone, and then looked at the guy who dressed workers, instinctively on the board of Chinese people have a kind alert. I will skip some concern, he felt an obligation to do something, then pick from those questions a bit less crude and fairly decent English, to explain it to her. She came to understand, so politely expressed China's favor, then I will tell the Han dynasty, after modification of polish.
Drive, and I do not have upper berth, sitting in the cockpit on the uplift of the engine cover to continue to talk to her. Because the things she said to me just to lift a number of alert and told me she intended to go to Tibet from Golmud. I told her that if procedures for foreigners to Tibet, a number of more trouble. She immediately nodded yes, and come up with a very thick of the tourist brochures, turn to Golmud City maps, pointing to Golmud hotel, said there a reception area, dedicated to foreign visitors to Tibet to do the procedures. I had a look at brochures and had to admire the Japanese do things carefully. Although I do not know Japanese, but according to a similar Chinese characters that can probably guess one. Travel guide booklet is the nature of things, written in a very practical and concrete. Tony, I like an album where I had seen could have never seen a country out of this guidebook.
The driver is also able to talk to people, driving experience for decades. Smoke begins with an exchange of two Qinghai-Tibet Road, the ideal retirement talk to his place, from the Communist Party do not want to give their lives to talking about digital cameras. There are one with the car co-pilot looked quite small, like a high school graduate, probably at night when fewer cars will be the opening round of his shops on the engine lid top. Chatted for a while, I am afraid this array of rest affect the co-pilot on the back of his shop.
10, traffic jam of the night, probably five or six o'clock already approaching Golmud, and the car was stopped. Passengers have awoke from their sleep and found all the way stopped in front of the car, the opposite has also had no car to come, obviously an accident. The driver said the crash came back from the front, and there is not a vehicle may be opened, starting a trailer or crane hijacked.
I experienced such a traffic jam, often wall is a good few hours, because generally will not settle in private, on-site can not move, to wait for the location of the accident, road traffic police camera before they can come to the follow-up treatment, if the cost of the crane may also be requested To wrangling. Because we know that start to go to Lhasa, three or four o'clock in the afternoon, so I'm not very anxious. But the car was anxious, and advising drivers to take the shortcut in the past (that is, driving under the roadbed, from the highway side of the dirt road to bypass the blocking of this section), was the driver flatly refused.
Very experienced driver, said: "This sidewalk to see a very loose soil, it is easy to fall into the inside, and the car in front of so many around do not know how far to go around." Added: "Other cars are waiting to see who does sidewalk Biebu Zhu go first, if in the past, we will follow you drown out the road in the past. If trapped inside, and so will road leads to everyone who will not pipe you. I did not do such a stupid does! "co-pilot immediately own experiences:" It's the last time I take the sidewalk Biebu Zhu a result, trapped inside, × fuck who did not pay attention, finally seeking Grandma Grandpa warning finally found a vehicle to help drag out, gave 60 money. " No one said anything of the passengers. The driver said: "There seems to Golmud Oil cranes, last nag family car is to ask them to run a trip to the 500 money."
We all no sleep, and the driver and co-pilot began to chat about their experiences encountered in sports. The co-pilot, said: "Old Zhao Dongfeng Cummins house that open and hit a pull-pipe, and his car chassis, high, steel pipe that came from the windshield to wear obstinately Old Zhao nail house seat, the intestines flow in one place. " The driver went on to say: "That is what the old house to spend miserable, his car pulled up tanks, and later is no way to know, and said that he sold a lifetime Communist Party life, loss, and their points of a lighter and burn the car the. "
Sports car drivers for decades, we prove that there are all these human tragedies come if nothing had happened, he said, but it makes us frightened passengers, for fear of their own someday come across such a thing. Circumstances at the time what reminds me of the "书剑恩仇录" plot: Qianlong was caught Luhe Hong Huahui Tarja, midnight black and white talking about rivers and lakes on the impermanence of all sorts of miserable to deal with Chou Jia Du Zhang, therefore, to what the Black Tiger Gang Hao Zhaizhu then lost the wind captured, then went to dig up the arrest of his prefect's eyes Zhao; what the White Horse in Shanxi Province, Sun 7 in order to revenge for his brother, the enemy of the family were buried alive; what Akinori House Zheng hip scissors The Young Son He cut his side boots, and ganging up on him a good friend, and his body cut in九九八十一The Young Knives.
Days finally bright. Vehicles finally talked. To 11 am, and drove through the salt bridge, sunlight shining white one, reminded me of the soon to Golmud. Zheng hip sub-Night has become history, I'll enter Tibet by.
Car to Golmud, I saw a woman carrying a large bag of Japan to stand outside the bus station looks so helpless, but also helped her one, and they asked the way to Golmud Hotels, China and Pakistan on the bus brought her to wave goodbye .
