Dali Diary
October 1, 2003
Is scheduled for 11:50 the aircraft was finally expected to take off late, he saw wave after another wave of people boarding, suddenly getting a bit agitated. Hard-won five-day vacation for every minute is precious to waste in the machine room is really unspeakable Hou grievances.
Thankfully, 13:30, speakers burst into gentle female voice: "Please note that visitors to Kunming, you take mu364 flights to take off soon, and please bring their belongings in preparation for boarding."
Through the thick clouds and saw the clean days.
Yunnan has been many times, but close to big fake everywhere tickets have become hot demand, can only buy one at random, where does not matter. I just want to go out, leaving the familiar environment, set aside the inherent lifestyle - positive a few days, lazy days; indulgence a few days, quiet days.
Incomparably dazzling sunshine, pull down the shade panels turn a blind eye, traveling and resting heart a little bit closer.

Early morning to the Dali, the occupancy was in line pushing a "pure heart courtyard." Old-fashioned courtyard quietly faint, subtle fragrance floating centuries of sweet-scented osmanthus trees. And the owner chatted for a while days before the day is not remembered properly eaten a meal, so go out late-night snacks.
Some people are happy to eat the sea Hu drink, innkeeper actually called Lai Cui, using a very slow very slow melody, said; "You are - too much - too late, you - the time - too much - too long !. " I faint, strike strike strike, since the people called "pure heart garden", residents are certainly not linger on the night of beer and barbecue nightlife owners啦! But in any case, whatever the outcome, others have also left a golden week for us two rooms, kinda clean, you can let us go back fond, after a good sleep, but also to the satisfied.
At dawn, the next big rain outside. Sleep a while is not bad, anyway, do not rely on a long time before bed.
At about 10 o'clock, the rain began to idle under the stop-heart impermanence underground, humid air mixed with the aroma. Originally intended to坐在院子里a good clean look at her surprise, the boss began to come tell you how he helped a lot of people like to worry about booking a "story" so I told him breath heavy businessmen shy away. Panic had to say today, to rush to Lijiang, hurriedly check out of the door.
Coincidentally the city outside the "Three Friends of the Inn" boss wife is her husband, a friend said to the girl before in ibm company last year, had resigned and her husband co-operating inn, has done a very impressive and really ahead of schedule after my 40-year-old wish! Went straight to three friends and wife Zhao Fang had met us at the door.
To sit down to discuss the trip, after several sets of the program decided to ride a bike around the Erhai Lake. Said to the sea and 120 kilometers distance, ride time of 12 hours should be sufficient. Take a look at the map you can see along the way to look at houses Hei Chau, last week the city to see tie-dye, fish can also be accommodated in the village riding on the way ... ... remember all the uncertainty, a kind of inexplicable excitement.
Turn the ancient city on the right paths, they completely escape the hustle and bustle of the 11 Golden Week. Roadside wildflowers bloom, in the light rain in the wind swaying; every household wanton roof Bougainvillea blooming, incomparably brilliant.
I finally set about to begin a long-awaited flying.
Little old car, and only the few scattered villages and towns and from the local time of the CMB does not roaring, hard-to stay a long hair and finally the wind blowing. Cangshan Erhai riding in the middle of the whole person suddenly became very quiet, suddenly burst into song好想. Yuanwang horizon clouds, there are dark clouds suddenly torn between a small piece Cham days, I think, I was free, free fluttering.
Have always thought that no one to share the joy you're not really happy at the moment feel that the truest sense of inner and sometimes even the most intimate of people may not be able to share their feelings, both sad and happy regardless.
I was riding on the road, or the period of the tunnel?
I was riding in the Cangshan between Erhai, or my heart of hearts?
Along the way visited the Hei Yan Chau Courtyard, but also go to the home of weeks the city look at a few local Bai women sat quietly lush careful wearing a cloth under the mulberry leaf peony flowers, 7 pm to reach river at the end of time, bottom has been so painful that did not dare to put a bike Zuodeng.
Jiang Mei did not find a suitable accommodation, had the night went to double-gallery. Although only a short span of 12 km, can be rare for several of our usual cycling and movement of people, in the riding of the six hours later, has some of the Zhaojiabuzhu. Chartered it, be regarded as a small reward of their own. Of the vans parked outside a supermarket in the driver willingly agreed to take us to the past, one asked fares, 4 cents! 1:00 leng did not react. Later, a companion said that he was on one side when the bike repair, the boss also said that for as long as 5 cents a foot. Oh, ask clearly before know that the field misunderstanding, they said 5 minutes is 5, 4 cents of course, is a 40. Odd car cushion soft, incomparable to enjoy.
Extravagant dinner, hot and sour fish, plum wine what a large table. See Ge Bizhuo riding tours are also two foreigners on the one to eat rice, tofu, ruthless, for we can not be adhered to and eat and drink a little bit ashamed.
At night in order to save, to a 3-human. 3-bed, and made the Chase with shops, four individuals squeezed a night laughing and joking.

In addition to her husband insisted on riding the entire distance, three of us are planning to dig up the colors or the days of mirror Court there must be a boat or chartered. Butt is too painful, and there is no way to endure. Either the boundless beauty of this road make driving force, I am afraid that long Orthogonal surrendered.
Open up the road. One side is the quiet early morning and the sea far from the leaf Erhai boat, one side is full of the soaring of the cactus.
Not forgetting the lake side, in the visual and in the sea What is the difference? For example, Qinghai Lake, as well as in front of Lake Erhai.
Riding at the beach winding road, deep deep breath.
There have been so sure that he is indeed afraid of an experience, I have to take photos as evidence to prove that I have enjoyed the autumn of 2003 a brief holiday.
Ask for directions several times, to reach the fishing pier dug color. There are several hotels near the Erhai Lake, the election of a doorway into the blossoms and the most-yan of the last night of luxury meal of delicious shame before his eyes away quietly. Is also a large table casserole fish, fire pig, Dali beer. Met last night to eat tofu two foreigners, chatted in the know that they came from Israel, the woman is very beautiful, very sunny man. Invite them to sit with us. Good or ill people pay a visit to China, the total of the taste cuisine from around the bar, the old line of how to eat tofu. Food came, the men ate quite in happy girl on light drinking and eating tofu, potatoes or something. Old people do not eat meat! For convenience, we deliberately help them write down on paper in Chinese, "not to eat meat, do not eat tomatoes," the words to prepare for future ordering purposes.
The more rain the next larger, and finally decided to return by boat until the village pier, then 4 km ride back to the ancient city of Dali.

Mother, so early Cangshan, who has also been ranked as the rope as a snake winds had. At least we have got three hours before the cable car, or a refund quickly drift Toru bar!
Yesterday洋人街see every family meal bars are arrayed on the table for a good-looking flowers of earthenware jars, is said to be every last 7 days last ganchang can buy in the market. Thin one calculation, really good luck, lunar Double Ninth exactly every market in September. Fart Britain Britain to go the market, in one breath and bought more than 20 large and small. Handling has become a problem, not to mention still intact on the back back to Chengdu. Also bought two straw and the like, a fairly large, strong bag, loaded ah, plug ah, finally Gao Ding. Calculate what the price of things loaded twice, and finally know what tofu dish made of meat prices, is also finally know what is like.
Lose no time in the afternoon, three friends of Hall properly Bai authentic taste of the three tea, sitting in the high-leg chair by the window while a daze while once again overlooking Lake Erhai. Sunshine broke through the clouds set down, extremely bold, extremely powerful.
16:30 of the bus along the way see cars overtaking at night, 11 point us back to Kunming, and glamor.
