February 2, 2003 (first month in two days) 4
1. Dali Old Town and the Shimonoseki Fen (Metro). Coming off the railway station, bus station has two, while the attractions are concentrated in the city, there is a 4-way bus to and from the ancient city and Shimonoseki.
2. Is about as early as 6:00 or so, the train arrived at Dali railway station. Out of station, all tour guides who swarm in and pulled you go to "one-day tour." After some comparison, we chose a man named "Da Yun travel agents," the "day trip" activities. On the coach, after some bargaining, the end, 570 / 4 the price of the transaction, travel content, "full day tour, Lex Three Pagodas." (570 yuan)
3. Car to the "Erhai Lake" edge, baggage put on board, ride, "Dayun number" Cruise (external price 80 yuan / person), starting the tour Erhai Lake, Putuo, and many other small ways to the South China Sea islands, in the 13-point landing. If you do not take off cruise ship tourists still worth a ride back, the ship can see Bai dance, tea. However, as I had a back 98 years, and now and then by a sense the same is not much to see Cangshan to see the Bai people village, watching seagulls, burning incense on the island ... ... and the 98-year no different.
4. We are on the board before the commission, "Dayun travel agencies" in the ground guide to help us to purchase long-distance tickets that night to Lijiang. Guides the efficiency of the pricey, and we disembarked, the ticket had been bought and sent to the dock. 0025 times, Shimonoseki sent to Lijiang, the departure time of 19:00, ride Location: Old Town Station, 50.5 yuan / person. So we waited to buy a whole ticket, but half-way on the train, but later found out the price difference between the 2 yuan / person. (204 yuan, including round-trip fares for tour guides)
5. Ashore, the guide let us 10 FIT transfer a Jinbei vans, reprovision of a guide. This woman was able to tour the mouth, said, let us not call her "tour guide", but "Golden Flower." Because Bai girl called "Golden Flower", Bai small group called "A Peng."
6. They ate a standard lunch, the value of 15 yuan, the Golden presented to us an extra program, free to see the "panic marriage" performances pulled a Tingda our yard. Into the know, to men and tourists to participate in this game. Began to participate free of charge, then the game is over faster than the other side to pay the points, "dowry fee", the number can figure. In this write up, just to remind you fellow men, there must be mentally prepared, "dowry charges" ranging from 10-50 yuan, or even higher, for reference only.
7. Tours of the traditional items - shopping, is essential. Store shopping up to the next attraction - Butterfly Spring (external price 25 yuan / person). Nice scenery, not changed much, the only difference is that, 98 years of attractions within a small paving gone, replaced by a spacious forest road. Spots where there is a clear bottoming out of the spring pool, water gurgled emerge from the ground, said every time in August, a variety of colors will be a large number of butterflies come here one after another on the branches upside down in the spring, you can always onto the surface of the water, there are flying in your head. Could imagine that this is a kind of picture, amazing, unfortunately I have never had two visits to see, really very sorry.
8. The last one attraction - Dali three pagodas. We have chosen the "Lex" rather than "Xie Wan." This is my proposal. 98 years, there has not yet built the wall, this has been a high brick wall over the entire 3 3M pagoda surrounded the entrance door is also made good angry faction, tickets unknown. Because only a temple, the most famous three towers already in the boat on its list of style, standing on the road outside the wall can also see and do not burn incense and worship without, so no need to spend money into the.
9. The whole "day trip" to this end, the van will send us to the ancient city of stations, and drivers say good-bye.
10. Old Town Station is a small station, at best, mixed as Shanghai, a smoke shop, there is no waiting room, everyone stood waiting for a train. Since only 17 points, the time too early, we have luggage placed in a station, decided to go to the ancient city and going shopping, also solved the problem about food and clothing.
11. I know where the most famous ancient city of Dali is洋人街, walking on the size of the whole street bars, and because many foreign tourists spend the night on this street, a very strong business climate, and the perfect combination of modern and classical. Here, I bought for the wife of agate bracelet - make gold barrels a day, the name is very nicely it, after some bargaining, asking price 160, the end, 45 per transaction. We also tasted the name of Dali Milk Cake baked snacks, 2 yuan a, which make and sell, you can also. (129 yuan)
12. Limousine bus delayed 20 minutes ago, on the bus you drowsy and to the late 22:30 and arrived at the new city of Lijiang in Terminal. Similarly, the new sub-urban and Lijiang Old Town area. Lijiang at night the streets empty, we are holding a map prepared in advance, dragging luggage walked to the Old Town of Lijiang.
13. In the ancient city edge, we have encountered a solicitation of the inn-keeper, with vigilance, he came to the ancient city with a busy section of farmers, but rather the atmosphere of "Old Town Inn." "Standard room No, 4 earth today, the price of 50 yuan / person, tomorrow is 60 yuan / person, because today the room is empty, empty, hard to say by tomorrow!" The boss says. Today, we indeed are all tired, here it, then after some bargaining, we decided to stay four nights, a total of 820 yuan, but the boss let us lump-sum payment. (820 yuan)
14. Lijiang Old Town is not the same, when other places have Hunhun sleep when it was still extremely busy, shops remain open for business, tourists flock in the streets. Inn owner said to be operating here, the general was close to 3:00.
15. Today before talking to here it, went to sleep ... ...
Fees Sub-total: Transport 204 + 570 + travel expenses souvenirs 129 + 820 = 1723 yuan accommodation
Old Town of Lijiang is known as "Plateau Water Village," said, but also the ancient Tea-Horse Road as part of a clear waterways throughout the city, a stone paved road, because of its smooth and shiny and the testimony of the ancient city. 98 in the summer, due to abundant rainfall, and even can be called excessive, the ancient city of some parts of the waterway to accommodate no fewer than have been so many water diffuse the streets, water, a thin layer covering the entire street, but the terrain pour down the endless, plus stone road ups and downs, splashes blossoming of small water droplets that scene left me with a deep impression. One year we lived in the ancient city of the edge of another hotel, we were only 20 yuan / person. Is already very cheap.
Exchanges in the next few days, we found that the owner of this Inn is still very warm and hospitable. To stay in addition to foreigners are also frequented by foreign citizens, but also come to play the majority of foreigners in China-pass, or if not Chinese, is also a handy cut starting to hand mouth and use, exceedingly terrible. Owner nor a person born and raised, from the northeast, to borrow here, business accommodation industry, the annual payment of 5-6 million, the landlord. He said that the Old Town of Lijiang has a street-level real estate is like a cash cow, the locals firmly would not sell it. Generally leased to the Inn would like to open people, tourists accustomed to the majority of live-star hotels, here are willing to live in the antique houses of the Naxi people.
There are two Japanese Inn, the young girl, the Chinese will not, little will be in English, pronunciation is extremely prohibited. One day the boss pestered to do for them to eat dumplings, fried also be boiled, and even bone soup, but the date did not account for a little sloppy, one a second, two, two individuals also put off points clearly give a sub is not even think about. Quite interesting.
