Qingdao Random Notes
After a night of bumpy bus in the morning arrived in Qingdao Railway Station. The car, wet pick up the air makes the spirit of the city shrouded in a fog.
GG has long been at the station and so on, see I took a bag pulled my left front is the sea.
The original train station is opposite the sixth beach.
A long absence, and the sea! Sea breezes blow off the night's tired, refused to take a lady image, Tuo Lexie go wherever the sea. A wave to attack us, trouser legs wet half. At last, and close contact with the sea.
At this time the sea was shrouded in a mist, the deep and be refined. The sea there is a reef, and many people holding a pail and a small net to catch scattered among the reef's fish pond shrimp, contend from the music.
6th beach in the west, is a famous pier. A long stretch of the embankment the sea, at the end is a pavilion. Here is a former lighthouse to guide the ship of the. Trestle, the hawkers were shouting them the kinds of shellfish, the selling jewelry. Trestle in front of the sea there is a small island known as the Small Qingdao, because of the fog can not see any real.
Coming down from the trestle, I've been hungry. GG said the hotel took me to eat them, Qingdao dumplings, mix with my Hala Zi Zhi Wangwai risk. GG, I walked with a few quiet streets, on both sides of the buildings have on the age, with a Western-style, most of them made of the German colonial era. Suddenly, the eyes appeared a twin-style church, GG said that this is the Notre Dame Cathedral, is also the oldest Catholic church in China. Because hungry, think of a few days time, no go, who knows what it is, at first sight, Qingdao tour, the last one.
To find shrimp dumplings, had no such Qingdao hotel, but unfortunately had to go to a small restaurant to eat the shrimp-flavored fried dumpling, and then decided to return to rest about accommodation. On the taxi, GG so that drivers also have come full circle around the Ba Da Guan. Ba Da Guan city Qingdao famous casual place, it was extended eight seaside road, by naming off the Great Wall 8. On each route, both sides of the trees of different kinds of flowers, each season to introduce different flowers. Between a block of trees of green and small trees in the dim shade of red walls are exposed colonial villas built by the Germans.
Sea water, trees, flowers, red walls, mist ... ... How can we help people to forget where you are?
Back to accommodation, MM only feel tired, hot bath, lying in bed on a Void of sleepwalking.
Wake up the afternoon, GG said that swim in the sea to go the middle of MM play into the hands toward the first beach. Eat a pile of barbecue, to fill his stomach, put on bathing suits on the rush towards the sea. Dense on the beach full of people, stepped into the sea, "Ah - good cold!" MM yelled. GG is a wave rushed inside. MM Not to be outdone, also fell into the sea depths. When the water came from all directions when surrounded, MM suddenly there is a return to feeling. MM energetically to swim to the depths of the sea, swimming to the side of the nets, looked back, the crowd on the beach has become misty忽忽, or at least swim in San Wubai m bar. MM sat on the rope corsets, with the surge starting from floating floating, feel comfortable. Sea fog still do not eliminate the distance to see what is unclear which is the sea days, each exposure to the embrace of the sea, there will be drop in the ocean feeling. Tianyi Tian sea water, salty, as if the taste of tears. Increasingly thick fog, we began to slowly swim to the shore to go.
On the beach, many people lay there enjoying the sun; little children with the sand all kinds of bizarre things; there are people playing beach soccer. People are comfortable smile, and not affect the. Shanghai people are used to looking at the faces of tightness again after reading Qingdao people smile, as if from two of the world.
Take a look at the sea, in addition to those who swim, but also erected the sails one by one, shine in the sun. MM because last year studied, just to pull on the sail to float tens of meters, it is a technical oxygen. Later it was found that a sailing club, you can rent windsurfing, MM hearts Qiexi tell GG sail tomorrow to play.
Come out from the sea, and we slowly walk along the beach. Seaside has a wooden plank road built along the winding coastline. Plank Road is very long, the middle of the second and third after a swimming beach, this side of the sea is more blue, the waves bigger. Plank Road is a newly built up in recent years, Qingdao, is still an extension of full-length from the first beach to the stone for the elderly over 40 kilometers, be completed before the 2008 Olympic Games. I do not actually laments Qingdao on something like that is indeed a masterpiece. Line to a bit tired, the climb up the shore of a large rock, close your eyes, the wind whistles from the ear, the ocean tidal sound huge success. Looked down, a wave and then a wave hit the rock to pieces, from 10 million droplets cheap, but also reconciled the sea. All of a sudden, MM heart health from a gut feeling faint, wet Lulu, like the sea breeze.
In the evening, MM hungry, and asked what he ate, GG. GG said that there buddies please咱children to eat seafood. MM suddenly two shine, GG see in the eyes, pain in their hearts (GG is a Buddhist, basically do not eat live food. MM as well, but occasionally makes its own indulgent look. Hei hei), but fail to beat the MM's mouth slander, was left to me slightly. :)
We hit the car straight away restaurants, GG's friends have been there waiting for the. After serving a look, this is really a genuine, ah, almost not subject to any treatment, only boiled a bit, we then stained with ginger and vinegar to eat. MM eating grin, patted his belly, not so long before saturation.
And GG's friends broke up after the night had come, but we do not have to go back to meaning. GG has brought to the 54 MM Square, Square, there are still a lot of people enjoy the cool air. Place on the beach, leaning on the guardrail, the distance Yingyingchaochao some light fantastic. Were much more vigorous sea breeze at night, people do not feel a trace of heat. Compared with Shanghai's Bund, is really not comparable not comparable.
Back to accommodation, MM exhausted, fell asleep in bed.
Morning and opened his eyes, he was dazzled sun-yao. Thought to play today, sails, excited Yi Gulu jumped out of bed. Shidianzuoyou morning is the best time. Went to the beach, there are already a lot of sailing cruise in the Gulf where the. Rush rent a piece of board, change of clothes to go on. Qingdao sea is not like last year, so calm in Pinghu, finally enabled him to pull up the sail, a gust of wind blown into the sea with sails Lianren Dai. Do not know how many times the struggle and sail, anyway, would just pull up once or twice, maintaining a few seconds, or to end up falling into the water. : (MM think that is a failure, but think about, or at least better than last year's poor bar. If it is not so much wind and waves, and perhaps be able to run. To see if someone else played with casual ease, MM unhappy. This time on the shore waving GG , MM think there is no effort, and the sail to push back to shore, have been found up afternoon knew the play more than two hours.
GG said to Chizhai, we went to the Cham Shan Monastery, vegetarian, had no. Had an empty stomach to see the monastery.
Cham Shan Monastery in China, Buddhism has played a significant role in modern times, and gorge where the virtual master had chaired, and many senior monks have also been there, closed-door practice Buddhism. Temple trees, was very quiet.
Come out from the temple, it is imperative to eat, MM has been hungry soon fainted.
Briefly go back to the afternoon break for a while, they began to stroll around. 54 square exceptionally busy over the weekend, as well as the band performed in the improvisation. People are out from home, the beach is still bustling. The road, many people apparently just out of the sea, with bare feet, holding the banner redback, GG said that swimming is the night tour, Qingdao people's habits, the proposal has to go swim in the sea. If it were not pulling the morning sail MM consume too much physical strength, but also busy changing clothes back trouble, really want to jump into the sea again.
Because tomorrow to go through the Laoshan, not consume too hard, early on back rest.
GG boasted that he had heard you had a good many times through the Laoshan, it's all professional-grade, from the mountain side, on the other side the next.
Early in the morning ready to go, we took part in Qingdao mountaineering club, team leader is a former South Korean national team captain. Extension of the club almost every week through different routes, and some players have participated for several years.
Did not start smoothly, and our car went two routes, no through, forced to spare a larger circle of the car also broke down twice on the road, originally 9:30 you can start hiking until midnight to foot of the mountain. Braved burning sun, I really do not want to climb now, but this time do be able to beat a retreat? Na can not disgrace himself. Bite the bullet and only targeted at the road, load all go to the GG body.
No line of how far the emergence of a huge reservoir, fills the water rippling blue waves, as if embedded in the mountains of an emerald, Dungan cool, really want to stay here and do not go. May be large forces did not mean to stay, I have left behind. Reservoir section of the road in front of a mountain stream, where we rested for a moment, wash face, Xie Jieshu in front of the mountain of all.
In addition to rocks along the way is the thorns, the sun did not obstruct the body to sun, hot. Drink all the water go out into a sweat. Particularly in the first half of the road almost no shade, no wind, brushing sweat. Occasionally look back one, was clear and thin clouds, the mountain steep, do not have charm. Finally found a relatively flat place, the two trees just to cover the sun, the back also found a clear spring, the team leader before issuing the order, in-situ rest and lunch. After eating some things, just Nazhen lack enthusiasm began to fade, amidst growing strength.
Continued on our way, the next section of the road, less rocks, weeds and thorns are more and more, and sometimes even completely covered road and had to head down a path through to arches, and finally understand why the jungle animals to 4 feet touch the ground. Along the way, in order to maintain each person does not get lost, we all shouted the walk. On several occasions, because the vegetation was too dense, can not find the road side at this time emerged in captain experience. To the summit is already 17 o'clock, and the mountains began to fog, a brief rest we started down the mountain. The way down the mountain better than the mountains, in order to hurry and had to speed up the speed, but also attend to look at the scenery, and until you reach the North nine of water, before pressure of cross-breath.
North-east nine water is famous Laoshan Scenic Area, there are nine inlets. The water really clear here, ah, fiber cents visible. Wait for them to jump off cool about immediate moment. Frustration getting dark, and then we also went to the car, and everyone is tired. Grandpa said, accompanied by three years climbing mountains, today is the most tired, the road is also the longest. GG looked exhausted look, I began to destabilize: "Go home, swim in the sea no better?:)"
Return to the town has been the lanterns Zhaoliaoyichu feast on vegetarian restaurant (again GG friend of inviting guests). A few friends while eating, one side is talking, late into the night unnoticed.
In Qingdao, the last day in the morning to go up one third the beach, the last to embrace the sea. Today's waves really big ah, I was trying to wave red go, it was again hit back. In order to chase a bigger waves, I and GG swim out of the shark prevention nets. While on a separation of a heavy net, but the feeling is completely different, this time, it really think the vast sea and its own small, raised a little bit of fear inside. Suddenly, at the foot of what seems to Ge Zhao is a rock, and then the knee is also a bit sore on the hi-hat to the reef. GG shouting this time carefully reef, greet me back. Travel back to the shore, we saw GG's feet were a bloody rocks confused. GG does not go to sea, and I alone returned to the sea, washed by a wave it will be sorry to see him on the ground of the shore.
The afternoon, GG took me to meet a few friends, spent in the chat.
Time to leave, and the four-day trip to Qingdao, like a hurried glance at things made me see the city's most exciting side. I must also Zaiqu, more in-depth integration into the beautiful seaside city.
