Lijiang - why was it so for this small town in northwest Yunnan sophisticates from such a name? Does she really have southern elegance? With this question I and the "Yunnan Province on the 10th to talk about" the author of Han Zheng visited this small bridge with flowing water scenes in Lijiang, Yunnan.
In the ancient inn-keeper, under the guidance of a set off the plateau in front of the pastel hues of ink spread come. Lijiang ancient city streets are not wide, chosen by bluestone paved. Lovely gentle river is three away from polite to visitors to those of us who rush into the already narrow stone path give us half of his or her own wall-and-line, without the slightest stint. Lijiang heard in the past, every night the gate will be down south, the river also diffuse on the ground, the terrain through which he will be in every morning to a brand new city of Lijiang, presented to the local people. Therefore, they have the world's only an automatic flush feature of the city. There is such a beautiful river to meet our generous --- a very good sign!
Having the river, we can not fail to mention the willow. Submissive willow stroking the river, ambiguous palpable. This may be a dependent for themselves as partners combing the river and let her to forget the road's fatigue. Willow river side finally came to slow down, there is such a passionate and thoughtful fellow who wait to run around in this way is worth it?
Gone through a wooden bridge, came to a Naxi houses, "This is my home the" inn-keeper said, cis-the direction of her finger, I saw a piece of the amount of plaque, a letter to "Xinhua Inn," written in calligraphy is quite good. "This is my husband's name," saw I was staring at this piece of signs, female business owners face with a blush color to us. Around a few bends, I came to the room on the second floor. From the windows of them are listed, it was found that the small courtyard of the elegant Naxi. On both sides of a room, full of wood, such as in the statement exaggerated cornices Naxi Ren diligence and wisdom. In the other side is a very clean bathroom, across from a grape trellis, wicker chair under a few. Tea, boiling water, when the time for a new, self from drinking.
Generous river, informed of the willow, hard-working Naxi Ren several hundred years ago in order to weave structure in China's border with such a beautiful picture, I am obsessed by.
Wake up, Lijiang and there were no mosquitoes! In this moist environment is simply rare! Slept a good feel, refreshing. And our sisters together is the AMY and Asya (two beautiful women, energy and beauty go hand in hand but for all men of the greatest self-help travel Luck, was that we met), all factors are wonderful! Our goal --- Lugu Lake, Mosuo people's house. We check the line shape, the band are in, and our songs. Fortunately, the road there are two bright girls, 5 hours away, and did not feel much fatigue. I did want to sing a Jacky Cheung's "Along the way are you" dedicated to them, to show their gratitude. But when I catch a glimpse of the lake first thing when I actually forgot.
This is where? Jade lake like a calm lake net with blue sky and its reflection can not be distinguished. At this point can only be heard is our breath, we looked at the window screen, in the pro-Mianshan cluster under a Bi quiet and kind of water. Was lying on the water a few small islands, island due to the water but also has a spiritual, water, island and has been a result of personality. Harmony --- I would not help to think. Live in the village fell into the water, evening bonfire party so that we appreciate the Moso people singing and dancing, only the accompaniment of a bamboo flute, singing pure as the lake water into my ears, I actually did not get this song coming from the direction of may come from above, and I would like to wait senselessly. I have two girls and the old Korean way or another, connected to the Mosuo people dressed in national costumes, jumped after, until the moon jumped out, so that the sparkling smile, turned over the body. Bonfire party is over, then the lake to find a bar, this has Buzuibugui! !
Open your eyes, has missed the lake sunrise, golden has been boating on the lake casting a net of. The peninsula as long as the cell to inside 20 minutes, here is Tashi's home, when our two men's eyes with a devout cult into his home, the two girls seemed to disdain in our move. (Tashi is the Moso tribe away the meaning of marriage, King, Mosuo people still follow the walking marriage system, have children to do for mothers rearing duties) Unfortunately, Tashi not at home. Simply multiplied by Zhu Caochuan to a small bar fell into the water. Boat loaded with our departure, and walked a few hundred meters from the boatman dog found swimming in the water to catch up, cute little thing, and so it is over it, the same boat.
Here retains a more complete Mosuo style, into a family with his grandmother something interesting conversation piece. Although many would not understand, but take a look at the vicissitudes of life in this old lake, her voice and facial expression, gestures have a story. Sumptuous lunch, a few lights-brewed rice wine for guests from afar so that those of us who feel a deep sense of taste. Take a look at the table, the hour is late. Back to the way a Gaohang's "Lugu Lake Love Song" came, with curly long sound high. Out "Elder brother" has cited our Xunsheng but look, I heard, "Chang Hui-mei," We are quietly met, now think of it that it was indeed a beautiful song, really is.
