From Yangshuo to Guilin
The hottest year of the beginning of a period of time, the annual leave are my one-year period of time can not tolerate one of the best choice for me than the back of luggage left alone destination in Guangxi. This year is early in August, Chongqing is the stove's right, I think in most parts of the country are also the same. To Guilin is noon, the temperature is in no way Asia and the "stove." IVECO airport car back to the urban area, 40 minutes later to. Along the way there is a long stay in Chongqing, the hard-won sense of renewal, western Sichuan Plateau snow Snowy Mountains, Xinjiang Mogui Cheng's elegant single-topography, Fujian Wuyishan is Danxia terrain, the Guilin mountains and rivers under heaven legend , a unique karst terrain and formed by water erosion, the landscape, on the road will be able to feel faint, how can a show Zile De.
To the urban areas has decreased, after such a feeling, Guilin area surrounded by two rivers and four lakes, there a ring Guilin tour 4 --- 2 River Lake Tour, I am not too interested. Since coming to see that说什么也得lost signs Guilin - Elephant Trunk Hill, the original River Road will be able to glance in the bin, and now a lot of kinds of roadside trees, you want to take pictures, the best place you've got to buy a ticket to enter, "Sorry, there is no student discount card." scissors tellers told me. Guilin region half a day I only plan to visit Elephant Trunk Hill Park, and photographs were slight break I would have chosen to leave, Elephant Trunk Hill Guilin sign this for me the meaning of it only so far. Is less than 6:00 the next day I got up, because as far as possible to catch an early train to Long Sheng-long ridge terraces, have some time to think of dawn, where the street is still very quiet, that can be sold earlier said there was no, Yunnan 18 Strange there is a Guaijiao ride on the "can not afford early, do not bathe," said the person is not an early rise in Yunnan Province and Yunnan, with its spring weather is cool is not easy sweating, never thought that people do not get up early in Guangxi. No option but to found a supermarket snack a meal.
Guilin Coach Station is still a fairly standard view in the country, Guilin, the city mainly tourism, tourism development time is relatively early, after all, is a veteran tourist city, there are free public transport, transport services are relatively satisfactory, on board water and newspapers, in two hours to Longsheng county, time is 10:20 or so, in no way tired after the long-distance car. In Longsheng County, inquired about the station go to Peace Village shuttle bus to 11 points before opening and stuffy in the car for half an hour later, he set off, half an hour to reach the entrance cottage. The villagers here, the main crops are mainly grown in the mountains a lot of repair Diaojiaolou provided to the tourists who come to terraced accommodation, entrance of the village, many villagers came to introduce you to the tourism situation in Longsheng terraces, you can also take you to find accommodation , help you with your luggage, take you to visit the terraces, etc., but these are to be closed in such a small cost. Before starting my online access to a project called "the moon Corner" Inn of the information, which is the highest village inn, overlooking the scenic spots, "seven stars the moon," Panorama. Up to the mountains did not expect the moon Pavilion in the decoration, but unfortunately I had to choose the second-highest count in the mountains to live down an Inn, when the weather is hot, not many tourists, I am a person living in two rooms, the boss only charge I am a person's money, and settled in the room has been over lunch time, the boss at home to eat a local specialty meat, the taste is not the kind of city to eat fresh, that is, bad teeth, thick skin, if available a bit uncomfortable in. The boss asked me to try to do what their own pickles, pickle Well, for us to book Sichuanese be familiar, I'd like to try a side of the pickle in Guangxi, what is the taste of the pickle surprise is that they taste, and we here are relatively large difference, neither salty nor spicy, there are only sour and sweet, taste, and Western salad I ate no distinctions, and perhaps the owner of the store to do their own taste rather special point, so they like to on the boss to see his craft has also been confirmed that visitors are pleased, in turn give me a small bowl.
I crawled under the scorching sun had dinner on the 1st scenic spots overlooking the "seven stars the moon", this season's terraces where crops have already matured, and I asked the local villagers, we learned that, terraced drainage time is in May or so, at that time Like countless terraces mirror, sunrise and sunset when the scenery created numerous excellent photographs, and now only a green terraces, combined with hot weather, the fight against a lot of pictures of my creative enthusiasm, did not go big Walled I go home, and had intended to shoot up the next morning at sunrise, but to see today's weather, I am afraid that not even think about the sunset photographed, and shot the golden terraced period early in May. Helpless only this time our students have a holiday at the same time lamented his bad luck there is no other alternative.
Back to Guilin, a rest one night, the next morning minibus ride to the bus station to the edge of the kwan'am Lijiang, which is so much cave in Guilin, I only go to one. Inside the cave, full-length 1.5 kilometers, through the water, land and air are three ways to travel the entire distance. The previous section of the road on foot and ride a small train along the way you can see many strange rocks according to type, color of the lights in the above is particularly brilliant. The underground river inside the cave, take a boat tour of that section of the other people experience the most memorable, in order to create an adventure of anger, which did not lay a sea light, the ship only a small flashlight lighting, water is very cold, when inside the cave, high and sometimes low from time to time there are water droplets fell on his face. After the near shore, they take the high-altitude lift up to the hole, this is called a cavern where the three kinds of methods of travel Guinness Book of World Records.
Eaten lunch, go back and took luggage will be prepared to go to Yangshuo, and the square outside the railway station every 20 minutes has made a small minibus to Yangshuo, an hour arrives, fare 9 yuan. Car to Yangshuo County, I saw a lot of people riding a bicycle tour. The team came from Guilin to Yangshuo along the Li River cruise ship ride under the Yangshuo, Li River to see the boat half-way fare 260 a person, I think it's too expensive, but look a little harder to see the boat on the Lijiang River is not what I hope, so they choose a first-Yangshuo, Lijiang tour again. Guilin mountains and rivers under heaven, Guilin, Yangshuo A is already heard of. Yangshuo gave me the first feeling is that one is surrounded by mountains and a small town Lijiang River, Yangshuo County, the most famous is the West, and many foreigners to live here long, give me the impression, and then in Lijiang Dayan Ancient taste exactly the same kind of town. Intended to stay in Yangshuo Wangjiang floor that day is a Saturday, has been fully booked, and then finding a little later down Tintin hotel stay out Inn cross the road can give the edge to the Lijiang River, in the evening, many people playing in the water. That day is August 2, Real Madrid in the room watching the masses perform acrobatics in China, after the star, to West Kingston Western eating first, there is my favorite tuna PIZZA, taste, or more than the street in what the Lijiang Bar French chef to open restaurant handicap.
The next day, after up to Front Street rented a cool GIANT mountain bike to go around Yangshuo area, very cheap, the money will be able to ride a four day, the sun relatively large, the boss also gave me a straw hat. Out the West left out of the 5-minute walk around where the bridge is rich, and stood on the bridge can be seen surrounded by the mountains of Lijiang and pier and a number of cruise slowly waving bamboo raft on Yulong River, can not help but stop by pressing the shutter. After a Butterfly Spring, and Black Dragon Pool, came after the big banyan tree area, a car parked on the roadside stalls selling everything from office, in order to free riders I sat behind the Third Sister Liu's former residence Rao to large bamboo cutting the number of pre-Yung, although this water is not long, right forward to be able to see the shore, shaking bamboo cutting of the master planning was particularly slow, but also spare a few great circle, as if deliberately to show off in front of me beautiful scenery of Yangshuo, of course, they have the capital and the surrounding scenery I almost overlooked a large banyan tree is a symbol of this Yangshuo pretty things, it seems to me the meaning and the Elephant Trunk Hill is no different, finishing a few photos, swaggering through the front door of the out of doors to fetch the bike, Hill embarked on to the moon. The mountains of the moon is the curved shape of the famous caves, the moon is named after this mountain, in the mountains can also be panoramic bird's-eye view Yangshuo County. As the hot summer weather, there is no how to go out, combined with hot weather, only up to the Mid-levels, I have to rest two or three times soaked with sweat, not only clothes, and apparently the head of the space can no longer satisfy them, fell on my NIKON F65 aircraft on top of the hill climbing are feeling some of its inadequacies. Coming down the mountain is at noon, and at the foot of the mountain opposite the farm to eat rice, and so on for half an hour before the meal, because I order a dish before going to the ground after they get food, very fresh. How did the summer at home, exercise, coupled with great weather, climb down the mountain I was more tired, then decided to change the afternoon to go Yulong River by bamboo rafting expedition.
Lijiang Yulong River is known as a small, in my opinion, it's delicate features and is nothing worse than the Li River, Yulong River upstream from drifting if the whole process, if needed 4-6 hours, I began to drift from the middle, as long as two more than an hour, along the way asked the boatman slowly shake, so I shot a lot of photos. Although there is no Lijiang Yulong River water surface width, than the Lijiang river, but it's clear, although many workers have in the water rafts played a role in the propeller; it's for both sides if not then it is the Li River mountains on both sides of the momentum, what nine horse painting Hill, Huang waterfall reflection, but it's the two sides can see more off the green, is not only a mountain, there are trees and water reflections, there is no momentum majestic, but it looked very beauty; Yulong River is also not on the Lijiang River Cruise, some only a bamboo raft and pole of the people who keep the way Uygur, giving a more honest feeling, as if this is true from the cultural atmosphere without any natural scenery. After Yulong River this paragraph can be considered a worthwhile trip.
Early next morning ready to travel by car to the pier Xingping Lijiang, the famous "Xingping scenic" is RMB 20 yuan on the back of pattern, then we can see the panoramic view embarkation pier. Xingping ship out soon, and we take a small motor boat began to leak, to enjoy the view of tourists standing in the bow, and on board were mostly university students and foreigners, and cultural qualities better, the Lijiang River water is not deep, not wide river We do not panic, we have replaced a back off from the ship, climbed to the top boat, the boss afraid of an accident, took stool let us sit down and slowly enjoy. Because it is opened up from the downstream, so attractions are in the back, I was in the stern and relentless was shot a few. After a yellow cloth beach not far from the "nine horse painting Mountain," I still can not see the mountain cliff on the shape of nine horses. Yang raised to the bow of the ship turned back after opening, when the fog relatively large degree of air permeability is not high, the water reflection is not very clear, is not the best photographic time, but since I have come a lot of film.
From the swim back to Yangshuo, Lijiang, after I spent two days wandering in the West, where many people abroad, there are three shops selling CD of the entire non-mainstream music, there are many foreigners in it to listen to disc exchange. Because it is to travel, can not be what I want to buy back, simply pick a ten-Chang back. The whole building, including Guilin travel services, scenic area development, are doing very well, Guilin is a very clean city, the quality of local people is also high, you have to ask the way will be a warm reception, unlike some of are areas we talk about the conditions for it is the brake landscape. Unfortunately, there are still a lot of this trip, such as terraces, and some villages surrounding Yangshuo no go, but there is a saying, "Unfortunately, the actual occurrence of the best reason to re-visit," One day I will from Guilin to Yangshuo.
