The two of us one of a large backpack, but also to take two big bags, get out of working as migrant workers, like ~ `we reached the bus terminal to buy a 11:30 start to the Dali Shimonoseki tickets (103 +2 yuan insurance / per).
Kunming to Dali to be open 5 hours, full 350 km, and good car or a Volvo buses more comfortable. You drive along the highway began the first day of our trip. In fact, we did not plan, are there Eileen said her cousin, then arranges for, what am I route all the halo Hu Hu to visit Yunnan has always been a sudden change to make money, although the Yunnan Tourism is one of my travel dreams, no think of to say has really come. Pondered squinted on board to fill a sense, back up and took the opportunity had not slept before, anyway, there is still a long time to do. "Hey, you looked and" I do not know where's the woman cry woke me up, ears ringing in the ears a bit suddenly, his eyes opened the window to see the North Korea and the subconscious, wow! Car originally opened at the edge of the cliff just a 90-degree turn and four mountains stretching, have just been flat highway, is now in the mountain, and vision is quite broad, and daring was scared Yida Tiao, The reason is that this woman called Eileen I Xiachu my tinnitus! Awake do not want to sleep, and the car is being broadcast to my brutal teacher. Car to Chuxiong stopped to rest for 15 minutes because the driver has to eat. Chuxiong still 217 kilometers away from Shimonoseki.
18:00 can not reach the Shimonoseki station, called a car to her cousin at home (a taxi Dali are 6 yuan). Night at her cousins house for dinner, Daisow is the Bai people, not to speak but very polite in the evening so that we live in her daughter's room, her daughter live on campus school in Sichuan. Her cousin said that since the coming of course, we want to play Dali in Yunnan Province, in fact, some of us have seen before travelogues, said Dali is not fun, because she was so enthusiastic cousin, but is still doing the tour, only an oral promise. So, the night she was cousin to call contact trip, he added to his help we have arranged for FIT travel agency group, as long as the cost of fees paid on it. We are very grateful, after all, did not know that this trip to Yunnan, a total of how much to spend, because we just also rafts National Day holiday golden holiday, with more or less off the mark, reference to the Shanghai travel agent with a self-store price on the cost of that is enough (subsequently proved to be non-gold holiday is enough, and gold holiday a little bit tight, but for Eileen this financial analysts in ~ hoho)

Starting at 7:30 on the 28th, car is a 8:00 start before going to Lijiang, Dali to Lijiang 3 hours.
Or take the mountain, but I did not fall asleep this time, they are afraid that this woman again Eileen suddenly scared me cause I do not want tinnitus incident happen again, and second, I want to see the spectacular beauty of the cliff rock walls, wide vision, after all, reinforced concrete of the city grew up and saw little chance of the mountains, this trip just to satisfy my visual experience, Hehe. Enjoy the scenery is a pleasure, but some noise is a kind of suffering, sitting next to me a row of an old couple, 60-something, that old lady on the bus began to make, arguing do not want to go, the old gentleman Daoshi good-natured, non-stop trip is out to persuade his wife relax, and his wife seek death, and fights would be no thoughts rest. Granny features a move that seat in front of the incumbent, A, to touch up her makeup A, to the toilet A, and still had the driver stop .. to know that this is a mountain cliff `_`!!
Drove more than an hour in a shop door stop is to facilitate the people to the toilet, the car must also add water. Out of the car that old lady was still saying that did not care for her, and only kept her husband comforted her, and had the car there are a lot of people tried to persuade her to go out travel a good distraction, and now did not care for her, it seems everyone She can not stand for, who the older gentleman is really pathetic! On the train move on his way off the hook one time. At noon arrived in Lijiang, Lijiang tour guide to pick, because the two of us are the FIT Staff Committee, Lijiang to help us pick managers entrusted with the arrangements for accommodation. Lunch, tour guide arranged for us to begin the trip, first stop was Black Dragon, is actually a park, but after the picture went really good, clear, green lake, fish a lot of lush vegetation, as well as magic zhenzhuquan, you only loudly called on the non-stop risking bubbles. And then to a garden, is the middle bit of the warrior riding a horse, called Arp 3 - the protection of the Yulong Snow Mountain of God, the locals very much admire him. Not interested, go to the next to the tea, tour guides say let everyone rest of Yunnan tea products goods, in fact, that is, finished goods, tea, let's buy tea. I have no interest in this, and Eileen, sitting in the last two rows, is also happened to sit next to Shanghai, a couple, that man said he came in Yunnan Province, and of tea are not interested in talking with us on up. The park is very quiet, occasionally one or two tables mahjong in the park, such weather, such as atmosphere, good people who play mahjong uncomfortable ^ _ ^
Out of the park, we started to tour the ancient city of Lijiang. We should not tour guide, like his stroll on some delicious dinner and tour the ancient city before the door looking for her. Lijiang Old Town of Lijiang is due before the earthquake reconstruction, and basically maintained the original structure of the ancient city of housing. Mostly within the old city shops, there are many inns, where the famous youth Inn also has several, as well as the Naxi style residential accommodation. Speaking of Naxi, have to say is their custom, black, fat men called for the United States, where fat gold brother, woman is called fat golden girl, woman masters of the breadwinners, men do not drink if you do not smoke reception "married" can not afford to. ^ _ ^
Speaking of inns, there is also the most famous inn, established by the BBS, is a perfect mountain climbing posts, if you want to chartered missing person or are looking for partners to reach their destinations, can be found where the person or Posted convener. This is my first one, because in Shanghai, discussed when and Eileen had to be his foot on the Tiger Leaping Gorge, just where you can find someone who've been together or consulting, are easy.
The ancient city of Guang Zhao leisurely enjoy the small bridges, shops, bars in groups, here is really a nice place, although the layout is similar to Zhouzhuang, Zhouzhuang do not know, but larger than a few times, but also prosperity and a lot of great features one said. Are not people say that the ancient city of Lijiang, Beijing, after the sea, Guilin West are all characteristics worthy of a place to go. Old Town Square Street within the center is, you can see the circle enclosed by the Naxi people dancing, visitors can also join in, a lot of people take pictures. There is the color of the scarf features accessories, are sold everywhere around the head with a visitor to see, 5 yuan 1. To eat, the well-known is the Lijiang Baba, 3 yuan one, looked like a bare bread, little spirits. Guangzhao Street, watching the shops bars inn, full of novelty, because we live in Lijiang and goes back, so look for the city planned to go inside the Inn provides the room during the National Day, and asked to ask to the National no room to room should first reservations, prices are usually three times the 250 yuan a peacetime standard rooms 60/70/80, general inter-25/per, it seems to Lijiang tour manager to help us set the bar.
It is almost time to go door to find guides, but also so she took us to the hotel ..
Bath inside the ancient city of luggage put away we went to eat dinner around bars. Exceptionally beautiful old city at night than during the day are more characteristic of red lanterns hanging everywhere, little bridges and the gurgling water, bar music, noise, voices everywhere, lively extraordinary. We found Natiao bar to eat a street, on the water side, it's a nice selection Chang la carte dinner tables by the riverside, has passed, blazing ~ `take a walk after dinner stroll at night bright city. Square Street there is a group of people gathered to dance, bonfire lit at night, fat, fat, Kim Jin-mei sang folk songs, Costa Rica, tourists and interest to the jumping ..
Indeed, at night a beautiful old city, full of red lanterns, small bridges, the Naxi people ... America ~ pass by the inn, by the way go take a look at other people's posts to see if there is not consistent with our time, Tiger Leaping Gorge on foot, no posted a post on the call. Passing several inns, my favorite coffee shop in Prague (PRAGUE CAFE), also known as traveler's home, a very warm small inn, the following is a coffee shop to do the living room above is the inn, foreigner Tingduo, but I am not because after more than foreigners Rather like the kind of warm and quiet atmosphere, compared to other bars Inn Old Town, this small and quiet a lot, the taste of home to see residents are drinking coffee, listening to music, reading quietly. Bbs would like to paste the shop to find their own posts, a quick look at a perfect mountain climbing are mostly written in English, bitter resistance to their own standard of English is limited, seek out their own boarding pass, and negative words to write in Chinese and English together with a toothpick nail bbs, the Kazakh ~ so even though foreigners can not read, the Chinese people can always read the bar! ^ O ^
Asked the waitress in a bar here, which compare well-known, she said that a good cherry house, the atmosphere good, the boss is a Japanese. We follow the presentation to bars, where the service is very interesting, waiter dressed as ancient Chinese hawkers look very lovely, the location of the river are full, we can only sit inside, in fact, the location of the river the most spirit, However, the minimum consumption of 200 per table, which no minimum charge.
