8. Wandering in Lijiang
D7 to sleep more than nine sleep, get up early a few days ago has been the dark, and finally have a stable feel. Szeto, and Xiao Li Dao Shi diligent than we played got up early, to avoid the tour groups of people, look in the streetscape and the early morning Lijiang Yulong Snow Mountain, also climbed to the floor forever. I looked at the photos, turned out well, there should be a quiet and tranquility of the ancient city. But they say are the Naxi Ren at home, should be charged only for the outset. : (
In the ancient city where my husband found a casual place to eat breakfast, this time more visitors coming up, we can not provide breakfast naturally low, unlike the two of them to eat the morning before the money spent more than two, as was then sold to local people. We spent 10 of money, eating the famous Lijiang Baba and scrambled Erkuai. Baba points two kinds of crystal sugar and ham yesterday, ate sweet, very love of her husband, then eat salty good today. The taste is very general. Fried Erkuai show tonight, it is in line with our taste. Ate and chatted with the proprietress. They Daoshi authentic ancient city residents, but also moved to new city for next year to go, so I really could not stand the ancient city of the endless flow of people and noisy.
Today's plan is to rest, we decided to ride a bicycle to beam and town. Where the visitor should be less. I bought a hand-drawn map of Zhang Lijiang, afraid that time has lost. In this way, also walking asked to find a red sun plaza, there is a large statue of Chairman Mao, I feel very kind. Found a two tandem bicycle, each also gave two bottles of water and a hand-drawn maps, fortunately, we met two Guangdong Mix, was about to ride to the Yulong Snow Mountain, yesterday, just go to beam and can be given We lead the way. Oh, good-hearted people, or the Tingduo. Sheung bar!
Weather good, clear sky, and we follow the Guangdong Mix, round and round for a good trail a while, so time will be faster. Double bike just to ride, when the direction is not easy to master, we are all askew, and Szeto their car went so far as the chain fell off twice, and had to go repair. That should be the phrase goes, "key when the ball dropped." From the small winding road washed out, Shui Po, on the one road, road repair of really good, wide flat keel over, and to which we have just tormented buttocks liberated. Not even a car on the road, opposite is the rolling hills and suddenly that refreshes! Feelings of frustration from yesterday to recover a lot. Li was sitting behind the lazy Szeto, Szeto one tread very hard, we laugh Bu Xingliao.
Go big intersection, we and the well-intentioned on the split of the Guangdong Mix. Left, in front of the shadow of an ancient town and surely that is beam and the. Although an hour's drive to the inaction tired.
Beam and is a small town, and is pretty Guzhuo simple, flowing water compared to clear a lot of Lijiang. There is a fixed-tim weak temperament, in the photo was taken by many Nazuo stone down there, there are many grandparents were sitting there chatting, and many hundreds of years old grandmother together on the bridge arrayed on the sidewalk stands, Sell some fruits and vegetables. Even time here have lost its magic!
In-beam and on the purpose of such a scattershot Xiaguang with, but fortunately not much. Sunshine lazy person, without the clamor of Lijiang, walking in such a town in a few more visit to Cuba in this endeavor.
More than two points, we decided to return. Riding back on the road, but also lost. Stuart and her husband to an east to west one. My sense of direction has always been more backward, simply do not know where to walk. We think back to the ancient city is also quite expensive to eat better in the new town to find a cheap hotel to eat, the way road.
Looked for a wax ribs hot pot shop, taste good, although the poor environment, but tasty to impress. Is my toothache attack up, food present, it can not enjoy. Later, a few days in Yunnan Province, has been lit and troubled, is it on the plateau side effects.
On the return trip on the way, but also ran a large vegetable market in New City, bought some fruit, take a look at Lijiang residents eat anything!
Back to Lijiang, old town where not allowed to ride a bike. We had to obediently cart into the city, watching a film at the foot of the stone road, suddenly remembered a child in his hometown, to draw the line well-known ten-mile Long Street, the quartzite is also a long way, in the drizzly rain Jiangnan, my childhood time is spent in that kind of guxiang.
The remaining time is in Lijiang years of wandering aimlessly, and is still a lot of people, habits, and also fine. Wood House tickets too expensive, and pictures of many people, had photographed according to its roof, after all, is the hometown of Mu Jianping Yao!
Worth recommending is the city's high-level toilet, every five angle, the ancient city residents holding identity cards to do a pass, as if free of charge. Just entering the city and saw the notice that is hanging in the toilet next to the really good laugh. Do not go do not know Yeah, you can really luxurious, each compartment is voice-activated, people will go and so bright, out, lights automatically went out. And each compartment of the walls are hung side by side Naxi and Chinese Tang wood, I went in that particular moment is that Du Fu's poetry. Xiao Li and I have found there is similar to the water heater compartment things, but also a small shower. At that time we can feel the ancient city of regulatory bodies like that can be really thoughtful, taking a bath in the toilet can ah! But there was no toilet paper, very strange! Out, we share their feelings and experiences that can wash this point a bit strange, so asked a very gossip girl Naxi entrance fees, the original, Oh, that is Xi Pigu useful. With such advanced equipment, no toilet paper in Nature. Back insight really long! Stuart came out seem to be intimidated, and had the male is even more ridiculous, he came out to wash their hands when there is actually someone to give him Chuibei! We guffaw admiration for himself in the female toilets have not been such a "preferential treatment" rather than flat.
Gradually the sky late at night to appreciate the Lost Horizon, set in ancient music. Now find something to eat inside the ancient city, diligence and the clouds Naxi snacks are cheap, but the taste is really a general!
To speak frankly, because of all the experiences in Lijiang, I reported that ancient music did not have much hope, speculation has already turned into a business star Xuan Ke. I am very afraid of his fabled.
Farm yard disorder, and Xuan Ke and his band came in time to the very people indeed a awe, because those old grandfather is too great. I particularly like sitting in the middle, wearing red clothes, Retention long beard, chubby, a grandfather, not play music, he basically is nap. Very cute!
Xuan Ke introduction and later playing and singing to prove that my thinking is wrong. In China's southwest border, there is a group of elderly people are still hard to maintain China's cultural legacy, and I was really impressed. Xuan Ke is a very interesting elderly, the subject of ridicule, very self-possessed. He's looked at my admiration for ancient music of the heart.
In particular, Nagqu Li Houzhu's "Gold and Sand," hear "the spring and go to pieces, heaven and earth", is almost even tears fall.
Xuan Ke heart of ancient music is to come to realize, when you close your eyes, your heart to catch a performance of every touch of charm inside when the distant mood Nagqu make your soul has been washed.
Xuan Ke's Ancient Music, is a feast on the soul!
