"This is a free place where young people gather, food and clothing from around the world doctrine backpackers, all over the world proletarian artists, advocating a utopian vision of knowledge is power homeless, approached a new life Garden of Eden's anti-revolutionary tradition, can Here tacitly competition to gather, or planned to visit the mysterious "
Return later this evening, I am close to sleep, just because I dreamed that the town.
I have been struggling in my mind to search for that bit by bit memories yet to retreat, I am eager to photos in search of the past few days all the leisurely pace and companions earnest laughter, fear in the fear of some of the later will lose any slightest aftertaste sweet.
Yangshuo, Guilin in October coincided with sweet-scented osmanthus blossoms, the entire town filled with the fragrant wave of temperature and humidity in the south, each breath, there will be a casual little surprise, the sun a little lazy during the day, the night breeze a little coolness, in the This day, if we do not put down dip side of the chores themselves overflow In the vast idle where it really is a pity, no more, only released 35 days time, a person or wandering, and you are willing to accompany a friend, quietly no desire to come into the human landscape, in this border town will be feeling wash solution.
West, may be my life, one of the best streets of nostalgia, I would like to use my life to humming its charm, I think I will sing long, long time.
Ship Lijiang, in the painting is nowhere in town to find the beginning of the pier to board Yangshuo, we saw the shore into the rows of stalls, selling a small local specialty, the new drying a good batik, arranged in circular array of dried persimmons, a man just home shipped grapefruit, women have just wrapped sugar sweet-scented osmanthus cake pull, and many visitors think they wisely to bargain, in fact, simplicity of the Montagnards have their own business coup, of course, fraud is not going to do.
We are carrying heavy luggage shuttle in the crowd were sweating, the well-intentioned local guides to help us raise wrapped bent his eyes are so honest enthusiasm.
Walk about 500 meters, you can see the heart of town - West. This is a handmade work of art to restaurants bars and shops clustered known streets, a few hundred meters long 45 meters wide, a quartzite road, on both sides of the most exciting style of restaurants, bars, cafes and silver shops, batik shops, Gallery. The ground floor of these houses are side street shops, while the upstairs is almost always clean up for people to spend the night in the room, waiting for every pair of tired Dengshan Xue rest stop here.
The West during the day, visitors Rusuo, but few are holding a pennant sub-head tours haunted Little Red Riding Hood, because it is a free place where young people gather, food and clothing from around the world doctrine backpackers, all over the world the proletarian artist, advocate a utopian vision of knowledge is power of homeless people, approached a new life Garden of Eden's anti-revolutionary tradition, can tacitly competition to gather here, or have planned to visit the mysterious.
West Street, legend, the Chinese mainland, one of the few of the petty bourgeoisie distribution center, I finally came here, opened her mystery.
To find a place to sleep, but also to find a place because the West precipitated the night more nights are getting crazy, and they tend to clean place to live here are not suitable, or less than three in the morning, the music resounded through the neighborhood, hit wine sound, called laughter makes you not believe your watch is still accurate and operations.
We chose the West Front Street, as the county population to settle in here just need to walk to the West had a stone in Panchiao, less than 50 meters apart, but the flow of the river seemed to cut off the noise at night, the platform can stand days to see the streets lined with red lanterns, hear an echo because of the mountain to the songs of reflection to faint.
We stayed in this hotel is a private hotel and wife surnamed Mo, in charge of four floors of this building a small hotel business, the boss is a person who laughed all day long to see the old man a little bit shy during the day behind the counter writing and painting, or Bei Zhuoshou stroll in front of the eye down to business in the evening on a chair, sleeping in the hall for the young goalkeeper stay late.
As the National Day period, prices rose a lot of good news has been psychologically prepared, so one or two round of bargaining, we are basically able to accept immediately admitted. Room smaller than a standard hotel room facilities for regular, but it is also a neat white mattress, then know that every change must be a guest proprietress's daughter, to re-replace all the sheets bedding pillows, and a careful disinfection of the room. Air-conditioning, TV, hot water bathing everything with full, squat-style toilet sitting more than feeling safe and hygienic. We lived on the second floor, wash the clothes you can get the top floor roof drying, there is no any issue can be asked directly to the owner of a hall, they would very carefully to tell that until you fully understand, family-style hotel real than hotels warm a lot.
After moving the first day, whenever he woke up, rubbed Xing Zhong's eyes and loose dress, pajamas wash is completed, go to the next room, and peer playmate to discuss itinerary.
Breakfast, West Street of a required course, if only from the 12 o'clock lazy began after a meal, it is best to change to the West to look into the problems, otherwise you will lose a taste buds of the travel experience. Here is divided into Western-style breakfast, since it is a petty bourgeoisie and distribution center for Europe and the United States where tourists account for half the amount, of course, points to a Western-style breakfast would not have risk.
In a T-junction, to find an open table, in the face of the hill after street, 10:30 sun climb over hills, through the table beach umbrella body temperature falls just can stretch travel weary body. Point to a Continental breakfast, there is a large glass of freshly squeezed local orange juice, baked to a golden toast both sides of bread and butter, an unlimited number of jams, mellow bacon, fresh fried double yellow eggs, vegetables, salad and yogurt mixed with fruit, and last but Pure fragrant cup of coffee, an authentic taste of slowly slowly, unconsciously have been lunch time, and again had to sigh, where time always seems superfluous things.
Checkout, there are unexpected cheap, the price, if in Shanghai, Perhaps we can only go to STARBUCKS drink a cup of LATTTE.
Do not ask me, I could not tell where the call sites the past few days in Yangshuo, there is no tourism objectives, the prevailing mood of all interim plan the direction of travel. Hashiguchi downstairs rental bicycle shop there, good mountain bike single, double car or three-bike, at any time by any time they do not have to pay a deposit, but also when the vehicle re-pay the confidence of the visitors with their family comparison. Here once again feel the commercial transactions were circulated by the honesty and kindness.
In Yangshuo around, there are many attractions, are generally similar, in fact, the whole town itself is in the painting, why should they have been in front of struggling to find things. Guilin, famous for four things say, mountain, water, hole, stone, in fact, these four things, how to open the discussion.
Speaking of scenery, more well-known large banyan tree, the moon, mountains, Yinzi Yan, Yulong River, Butterfly Spring, nearly starting a bike from the West, can play within half an hour to two, far to the town car sit minibus station, but also it takes less than 45 minutes.
Out of town almost all of the big wide roads, green trees on both sides of farmland, hills near and far patchwork, tread bicycle, in the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrant breeze drifting inside a leisurely walk around, it is already the venue for King, why do you care about is not in the spots or only halfway through. Along the way there are many tourists like us, colorful bicycles are an unspoken secret codes, head to play just be a call to vote a smile, or a double car close behind walked the couple catch up the speed challenges, are then teach people ease of mind. Where it is easy to make friends bar, I think, because this environment, there is no way to teach people restrained their feelings, where is also very easy to talk about love in a bar, I think, because the air everywhere Fasan Zhao Liu San Jie-style romantic.
Lunch, chewing mountain town of afternoon sunlight, or West Street, two in the afternoon to find a more empty seats restaurant dining is a necessary experience. After several days of dining experiences, is that their rule is the serving table to table, first come, first served, and so a table dishes done, and do the second table. Coupled with family-style restaurant cooking conditions, so the speed of serving never responded with much discontent here is to think of as too lax days off, and was not to be so demanding of time. Fortunately, the Europeans eat one main meal usually takes two or three hours total, so here, but they are used to this pace. A few friends, laughing, and time does not seem so long had.
Here all the restaurants, the price almost no difference, so do not bother to see the facade decoration, unless your goal is to study the art of it, each restaurant will also be the menu on the street door, with the guests look at, like, to find a place to sit, do not like and never to pull you, all free.
Or the point of Western, personal habits, like the two-thirds cooked steak, every point of service meal always frightened young girl to look at my eyes, and then confirm it again I was not kidding. After the steak up, forget and then asked one, if they feel too alive to cook may be required to continue to look at. It is that passion.
Drift, if the mood could have drifted to the Yangshuo, it is necessary to go rafting. Yulong River upstream to find a ride to the pier, called the boatman insisted on bamboo raft in the river downstream Mashimo. Fall river here is not cold, when we have just on the rafts, only wearing sandals, or very carefully explore your foot into the river, when the water-way, a few hundred meters, everyone's innocence began to naughty together, see the water on the mad about a child's nature, we have a total of three bamboo raft, so you can start a water fight with each other, the situation in the Three Kingdoms in the three rafts often transform the role of friend and foe to complete along the way there are standing dam on the sale of home-made bamboo water gun to a child fan the flames, seducing us to buy a lot of their water gun. First or attacking each other with the water column, then wait until the clothes getting wet also refused to take a panic, jump from the water pouring into the river, the old boatman leisurely behind point in the rafts cigarette, smiling to see us play, buffalo from us walk through . Along the way also used water cannon on a raft of other visitors to the challenge, excited about the strange appearance frightened girls fled.
Mischievous to the tired, climbed the raft to move forward, clothing, pants soaked, lying to a bamboo raft on the sun drying belly and back. Rob rocks near and far sides, behind No. boatman song the way rod, feeling people have shrink into the bonsai.
Afternoon nap, drink a cup of coffee the best in town next round, in the West the heart of little facade, green and white characters at the end of the building numbers, the words "Ming Yuan THE BEST COFFEE IN TOWN", a person to find by Street location, point of a cup of CAPPUCCINO, or visitors to see where you Rusuo cardiac shadow, or a favorite book with a look at an afternoon, or do nothing but drink coffee, who knows, anyway no one Tisn't我.
Dinner, for night-time activities, the critical heat flow reserve can be picked at 8:00 to eat dinner after the play because the basic attraction to the dark from about 7:00 to come back, back to hotel bathroom changing clothes, also about this time. The time meal is also very consistent with the eating habits of Europeans, as a rich nightlife and the total to continue until midnight, plus lunch in the afternoon to eat, so eating late to have enough heat to maintain physical helpful. In the Mediterranean region, the afternoon of 56 points, can not find a restaurant for dinner, the West Street restaurant although almost 24 hours door, but because more foreign tourists, so about 20 o'clock, or part of prime-time period.
Eat a lot of Western food, playmate since China has already begun to miss the meal, and it is very simple, good or ill or in the land of China, to eating a decent Chinese food is always easy. While the West has Chinese food restaurant, but we are 200 meters far away from the West where, select a relatively centralized open-air stand, in fact, that is, a restaurant at night to put tables and chairs are placed in a tent outside, ho graciousness Dang nearly 100 meters long.
Picked a shaved head stalls along the street boss sit down, open the menu, and six heads of state, points, eight dishes and one soup, which is relatively well-known local characteristics of "beer Lijiang River fish." All the vegetables, the amount of both feet, the boss himself chef's "Crispy Duck" win everyone's appetite, worth recommending.
Then one day we are still next door to eat a Ganguo rabbit meat, and tastes good, have the opportunity to try, and if the winter here, it is recommended to a Huajianggourou pot.
Night, let's get drunk in the moonlight under the open-air bar a few nights you can go to the same one, you can also go to several a night, you decide. From the street to the end, just a few hundred meters away, there are nearly home bar for your pick. Pure chat type, the lights would go quiet and elegant "IF if's" here, a small mezzanine floor is quite distinctive, street loft, put all of your body are caught outside, there is no fence there is no wall, if you prefer, you can jump directly from the second floor of the rattan chair the street. Like the crazy type, then "dance clubs" is probably a good choice, DISCO's dance floor is not so crowded on the inside you do not worry about Donald Duck-like posture laugh, DJ is very easy-going, as long as conditions allow, you can Play your point of any dance. Point of a group of people wish to say something, then more and more choices, and a little music, a little beer and then a few of the bosons Lut enough you HIGH to midnight. There are also Italian ice cream dessert restaurants, Japanese cuisine, Korean barbecue, etc., midnight snack definitely not a problem.
Clubbing, but learned, here is where young people gathered, there are so many artists and foreigners, it is bound to give a show of skill, first went to walk around the streets is filled with the attractive men and boys & girls, take a look at, and then consider carefully the clothes back for re-emerge from it, so good fortune would be more likely to come easy Oh.
The night sky roof, even if there is no Star will be less romantic place 2:00, just out of the bar, clean the body, put on pajamas, you can go to the rooftop Chuichui cool.
The night filled the rooftop you can see the stars, surrounded by a faint shadow of the mountains surrounding the town to the distant hope, is the night sky under the Lijiang River water, and river fishing boat on the waves, across the river is a wide lawn during the day when the cattle where the grazing, but also see a backpacker camping in a tent beside stacked stone fireplace to do barbecue, to the night, tent lights still vaguely visible. Looked the other side of the direction of the rooftop, that is, West has not yet closing the night markets, the wind rains hit wine and singing in antiphonal style of laughter.
Pull a chair at midnight starlight roof, and the looming shadow of the mountain sat a small group will be closed eyes, breathing Rapids, the river to the water vapor may also encounter some unexpected romance with the roof, and then sitting side by side and then hugged Then the kiss of dawn ...
West, how willing you are tired of the thought of Yangshuo, in the West Zhuliang Tian, and then went to other places. But when I came here on the first day I felt her charm, photo of my souls to live so I am not willing to leave. Like me, an impulsive person, and finally it was decided to soak in the holiday are here and some companions went to look at Longsheng terraces, and I and two other friends to continue to live under the cabin roof in the starlight house.
Do not rush spots, what to do without thinking about tomorrow. In this way, Lanlansansan, and can cross the river to the other side of relying on each other lying on the lawn for an afternoon, you can also use the bike to go in any direction, and then there is the shopping and to draw the line not come as tired of the West.
She was always such a bustling, batik shop where to buy a piece hood, you can buy coupled with a new black silk Tang suit; to cut a corner linen custom tailor a coat, can be delivered the next day; with grapefruit skin made of a small water bottle became a folk arts and crafts; out of 15 money, and street artists on the white T-shirt painting of your comic image; sell old smiled and blew the flute "Willful" walking on the crowd, and looked detached ...
Visiting the endless business, the endless visitors, in the bustling Yangshuo West Street, if the fear and love of people became separated, they must be holding her little hand.
Yangshuo West Street, a story where a small town Southern charm of Chinese culture, away from the hubbub of the Shangri-la.
I am pleased, I am pleased at the encounter to this sweet-scented osmanthus fragrant as sweet and pure as was Zhang Yang is quiet lover;
I fear, I fear in people like me a passionate person, but willing to youth to stay in her side dock more time.
West, be sure to wait for me to come back.
