Spring Watching the Sea
In 2001, more fashionably called the new century, the first spring, I counted with ginger pocket the money that has enough He Yu, and decided to go a few days small. Their family did not lack is the map,咣brother again when the telephone line stretched the truth like spider's web, online searching. To avoid the tourist army, 51 the week before, we have selected only the summer waves will flow long mountain islands. Chang-shan Island in the east of Liaoning Province in northern Yellow Sea waters, under the Dalian Changhai County. The main purpose of this trip is to eat seafood, the need to carry the most important items is the yuan, and furazolidone. The evening of May 2 we started to work out the house dao trip.
May 2 days are always gloomy, and either bought a ticket, mother certainly would not let me go, or we also have to back off. The afternoon, really began to rain, not quite, but cold enough.
Veronica from Dalian to call over, ordered us to wear more clothes. This exact message Gengrang mother a restless mind, knowing can not be persuaded, they took great pains to start looking clothes. Wear it, being prepared, carrying a big deal to go. Pullovers, trousers and let me look stronger line a lot.
Oh, on his backpack, put on the travel eccentric loading and slammed the door pull, it really feels pretty good. While away from home, the home the same as being overpowered. 咣when the hand grasps an unknown journey full of charm.
Wake up, Dalian is up. My first sentence was "really broken." Station with COSCO not the same as I imagined, broken small, and good fairly clean.
6:00, we ran into the Xinghai Park, thus saving 20 yuan ticket. Park, who has been a lot of morning exercises. And my eyes only the Yellow Sea, and this is the Yellow Sea, a wave, a wave Yong Zhao, would be bundles of kelp washed ashore.
Wind damp, and blowing in the hands not help think of the winter in Tianjin. This is in Dalian, which is the spring of Dalian.
Sun Asia Ocean World come from, surprised at the crowd outside. Fortunately, we have not only survived the rest of the ticket has also rushed the crowd. There is another point of time to look at the not too distant Heishijiao coastal bar. Along the road moving forward, much as so many seaside city in the mountains, a Road slope, a seat overpass, one grade level. Top of the hill is a big bright McDonald M.
Rain, Heishijiao coastal rocks black and only a few pairs of young people do not that the wind and rain. Ya Ya and the seabirds flying over from time to time. In front is the sea, behind the tall buildings of the city. At this moment I think I have understood the city, that is, the sea is the sea.
Come along, the big rain, and today may not catch up to the dao of the boat.
Dalian was thrown into a car, and the cities if there will be no end.
The stretch that far from the sea port of Hong Kong is the leather bar.
Paper mouth, I do not know what allusions and names so strange. The pikou aquaculture market brands to咣when the excitement was intense.
Go a long dao drove off the boat early in the leather pocket live night was inevitable. Paper Town less, if they had two blocks. Because of our fault, can only spend 80 yuan a high consumption. Ms. hotel registry looked with suspicion Woliang long time, which gave the board had in mind, because we forgot to bring a marriage certificate. To find a good accommodation, the rest is the seafood market. 咣as has been impatient. Expensive, but the variety of fresh, clutter the market is indeed very attractive. Carrying the conch bought there is a big shellfish not seen, I go to Hong Kong along with the咣when the road went over to see a leather mouth after the door to go back to Hong Kong. 咣When said that this will allow more than eat dinner, and we all know, this can save some taxi money. Checkpoint at the port tomorrow morning to ask clear dao a lot of time the ship can go, we are relieved that a few sleep count points, not from a severe drought. Fog up the long, leather I do not know where the lighthouse in Hong Kong.
There are restaurants, there are supermarkets, everything do not worry, enough to eat conch, as well as cookies, can be a hot shower, lie down you can watch cable TV.
Outside the window is a little seaside lights.
May 4 sleep, sleep anyway, there are boats sitting. I do not know what time, and咣when the curtain opened that: "fog a bit scattered." Early in the morning is foggy and hazy morning, the skin Town, quiet and peaceful.
9:00 clean up properly, we have found a roadside noodle shop, store worn, but clean and tidy inside unexpectedly. Two bowl up, another boiled eggs, I felt for a long time without food meal in a decent meal. Incidentally, inquire about shipping can be answered and we heard yesterday was different. Just a middle-aged port, said first class of vessel has returned to drive away, and the next one should be 2:30, only two classes a day. In any case, to the port do intend to look at the bar. Town of unique leather Taxi - passenger and cargo pick-up trucks, and can carry four people to the port triple the money, had to sit comfortably.
Vehicle maneuvering coastal embankment to open in the past, and have a pikou Hong Kong is still not slow down the door, straight ahead, the depths of the sea. More recent influx of seawater, with the sea breeze whistling along. "Ship!" A ship approaching, there is no background, only the sea, the real ship, the real sea. This is the Yellow Sea and the Yellow Sea.
Case not to imagine that bad. Chang-shan Archipelago numerous islands, while the skin is a port of Hong Kong Island from the mainland into a major port are bound for different islands at different times of the ship. We do not have a clear destination, after discussion, bought a ticket to the big long hill. 12:10 sail, there is a half an hour.
Shun seawall walk Dibian a few people are wearing a rubber joint body of clothing, only to reveal two eyes tight. 咣When that such clothing may be able to block the leech in southeastern Tibet. Of course, a few fishermen, rubber clothing is to block water, they want to sea the. Change clothes before work, as we usually like, of course, is just not so hasty. Three packed Tingdang and jumped over the stone wall along a steep embankment stone brick wall into the sea, and "Come on, open," said one, as fast and stable as Gecko down the embankment. Ship not far from the sea inundated with, and received three anchors on board, to collect a distant network. Using a telescope, boat farther and farther, but stopped at sea seven or eight boats have gradually leave the region, to different people go through the same dress day of fishing after work.
Red rough face, messy hair, hard work of the fishermen made me feel extremely heavy eating seafood stomach.
咣also awkward when Liu Xia seawall rocks at the beach to find a few small crabs, a few small conch put it in a Coke bottle, we talk about the great dao Letting Them Go.
Boat opened, the first time in a real sea passenger sat genuine excitement I ran to the bow position strayed outer fence. Here all of a sudden fierce wind up the boat with the waves surging forward, the real feeling of winds and waves. I suddenly see a reason, This is not the Songhua Lake, seemingly calm surface there is infinite power thrown the boat shuffled around, but also with the car on the contrary, in the rear of the ship is much more stable than the bow. Mood, eager for beauty Duohui ri dares. Paper Koudao Dachangshan Island slow boat trip one hour and forty minutes. Cabin in the place of television comedy album, heard the second time, "Maiguai" soon as the whistle when the large Long Island to the mountains.
Quiet street, are also coming and going of the local people, there is no imagination flourishing tourist destination. In Hong Kong pikou solicit business of that store actually filled. Or a little oil and water to see if we can pass to expose early as possible. In this way, in between the wandering uphill downhill for nearly two hours, legs to go hard. Finally found a shop stay there, conditions simple, but fairly clean, good is just 10 meters away from the aquaculture market. Dropped luggage, he was immediately咣when pulled to the real situation. Fisheries market is not skin Town, large, distinct varieties, but all of the products are extremely fresh Moreover, when there咣eat crab, I like the scallops. Bought, and a practice, still stroll before eating. I would have a better appetite and digestion.
Dachangshan Island, Changhai County seat of government, but also a long hill the largest island archipelago. Do not look to the sea, on the same land-based cities is no difference. Clean and tidy streets, fashionable style of the building, the beautiful county square, post offices, cinemas, commercial street, than the average small city is also rich. Between groups of people do not have many red-faced roots fishermen. This more or less let us down. To find a shop stay there, opened the door that is the sea, this is our dream. County Square, one side stood a deserted place dressed in police, reminds us of the morning in the paper today, I listen to Governor Bo Xilai said the driver would go a long sea, it seems pretty soon. Folded back to back away from the county government, in an intersection, traffic police stopped the car to indicate the past, a convoy drove from the other side of the island, the size of a dozen vehicles, maneuvering over the opening, and then everything back to normal. I have the same咣when that team must come from the direction of the port, then it is not to the mandarin duck in Hong Kong.
Park in the Gulf, we will pour Coke bottle out of the small animals to send them home. Excellent eyesight咣When they are thrown one by one the high sea wall and told me the little crab, a floor on the fast-climbing away. I suddenly moved, as I咣pan in the cold of city life also remains the point of life and save natural goodness.
Eaten seafood, the coastal Bay Park, the long walk, fog up again, cool very comfortable. The sea seemed calm, dark with night dissolved into one, I feel the air inhaled into the lungs hint of salt, as in a small hotel, like the water you drink, do not know who is really dissolved salt in the air, water, or have been lost in my minds. In a small supermarket to buy a bottle of Coca-Cola saw the bag of Nestle coffee, misrepresent the walk,咣when understanding the people, took a box of very generous. Go back onto the cup, although You Dianxian, but still commendable heard, tastes great.
May 5 boats started the first minute, I said to myself, this life is no longer sit Clippers. I handed over to the sea life, while the sea is very generous, in the ship to Shicheng resorts also left a half to me.
No high-rise buildings, there are no hotels on the island of our agricultural car uphill downhill, you can see is the terraces, is chickens and ducks, is the forest. Island, is the mountains, mountain is Island. Slope strewn roadside farmers, much of the trees there are rhododendrons bright smile. Turn a mountain is the sea, mountains and slide down a slope.
Shicheng Island is a long mountain islands in the island nearest to the mainland, the island mainly on agriculture fisheries. From the big long hill to sit here, "zhangzi Island, No. 3," fast boats with one hour, three times the speed of an ordinary passenger. Traffic hostels terms and prices all came to the right, but in order to live in the sea, farm vehicles have turned a few hill whistling. My car was parked in a small hospital, the hospital is a row of stone steps of the new tile, clean and beautiful. That is the real fisherman, I咣pleased to stay there when the two tubes 100 yuan a day eating and drinking, your yes Guile Dian, but咣long been the window when the eyes of a bunch of always wanted to escape the small crabs caught. As they are not tourist season, only our two guests, are placed in the side room of the house a little kang shop, clean and very unexpected.
Homeowners Aunt called her daughter to the sea to buy fish, I咣when Le Diandian's followed.
Shui to Guaiqu the trail, so I think it is the childhood home of the alley of those wandering in the shuttle. After a garden everywhere, off groups of chickens, ducks and turned that fence, is the sea, and 10 meters in front of the sea is never-ending tide. No terminals, dozens of fishing vessels or far or near the park in the sea, there is no beach, beach, black gravel of different sizes and low tide the sea cabbage leaves. It was approached, a group of flying birds call up Yiya circled. The sea is quiet, it thousands of years in there, the sea is moving, it never stopped coming a moment receded. The time has stopped at this moment, in the Stone City Island, a fishing village forever stayed.
Girls bought some squid, on the road told us that the village is called "Silver's nest." "Silver nest Stone Forest" is the Stone City Island, a scene it, the girl Shouyi Zhi, not far from the rocks are indeed lined Langya group. On the way home, much to see her brother's body dressed in rubber clothes came together, the second time to the sea.
Aunt started doing lunch or breakfast for us. 7:15 am lying in bed, the咣when rushed to wake me up, saying that there is 7:20 to Shicheng Island boat, we catch up with the boat, also abandoned, including breakfast, wash your face, etc. There are not very necessary process. Shicheng Island, water scarcity, and scarcity. This again makes me dispel the idea of a wash, anyway, all went to noon. The咣as early as holding a small basin of cooked crabs to eat opened. Lunch is very rich, cuttlefish and fresh appetite for our son very much.
After a meal, we see the sea. Tide as though retired, several people at the beach picking something. My myopia can only squat to see whether there are living things green, then dark layers of a triple last night, the money that we bought a pound a night, eating a small conch shells, here, they are nowhere to is not, and are healthy and lively. 咣As has been complaining about how even a "crab g" at all. Much less sea boat, all at sea, while seabirds sharp Yi Ya sound still continued to break. Shilin a distance is a gray and white, approached, and the original white locust are oyster shells, will be a rock covered with layers of sea water up where they where hygiene. Water erosion of the rock has been beset with a wave thousands of years, billions of years of erosion.
咣When the head told me, straining to looked up to see him standing on a huge stone forest above. "Gee, how I can go呀." I hear his voice frustration overjoyed. Look at the rock face are also not very smooth to climb ideas. Stays on the one hand a step back is blue. 咣When the above is also not squatted down to see me up trying to stop too late. "Check it out," he pulled me one. Pay close attention to the stone of my hands, craned looked to the sea. The sea Yeah, quietly, where dragging days veil, Wu Zhao Chao, Yong Zhao its ship. Fog in the depths of the sea, the birds in the front of the sea, played static and dynamic, silent and sound of the song. I can not let go hand to take pictures, I also understand that even if the face can be according to sea, but also the soul of the sea can not be photographed.
咣When you start descending, so that the highest tip of the stone so that I stood up, while the trembling legs told me it was impossible. Looking up the road, but see the Stone Forest is almost 90 degrees, more access roads to speak of. Feet stepping on the beach, leg strength was restored. Looked up Yan Ding, involuntary shaking his head.
Stone Forest is the mountains behind, the girl said, standing on the mountain kiosk is best seen in the sunrise. Now the terrible overcast days, the sunrise tomorrow morning I do not report any illusions. Climbing my line, and anyway there will not be reflected in the plateau. I咣when the station the Peak, seen ships come back.
One after another to dock the ship at sea, the fishermen harvest Waterfront carrying water in from the waist to go ashore. 咣When looking at the palm has been a big crab Tianzui Chun. Sea breeze was underway, more overcast days. Wu is still not seen such a long time his son ashore, air-cooled people were trembling. Birds are still circling the tireless.
Back to the Wu father and son soon to close the net back up and the rain began the next.
Wu Aunt took us firewood to burn Kang, sitting in his blanket feel the heat of the long kang. 咣cup when drinking a cup of Nestle, cold gradually recede. Out of the window lightning drought is water shortage on the island which is a good a good rain.
May 6th a thunderstorm yesterday, not only saved the crops, but also smashed the cable and telecommunications equipment, send us to not contact the drivers had been on the road to the pier does not seem near, he failed to Zhuanghe of the boat, and again to live another day. Here is an island, you must boat ah. Zhuanghe Hong Kong time, according to incoming tides may be, from the Stone City Island to Zhuanghe ship as early as 6:00 each month 13-fa, a day after the delayed half an hour. I Qiazhao on his fingers, today should be 15, ran it was 7:00, but who knew that I counted right is wrong with it. The morning is very quiet fishing village, it is even more anxious. Not in the mood to eat breakfast,咣Yitang Tang ran when looking for cars in the village, but after a long time have not heard the voice of motor vehicles. Six more, I put bag packed just like a car. Finally,咣down when running from the top of the hill waved to me, grabbed two bags, put on the cap, we bid farewell to the house Auntie Wu. Pickup truck stopped at the top of the hill, closed the rear door, he saw his wife, Wu to take us out of the car chase.
The port there are still many people, glad that did not open boat. To buy a ticket was aware of this class vessel has filled the remaining people had to wait for the next class. Ship not allow overloading, wet sea breeze on the island so that we ship an hour later from the Zhuanghe come back here.
Hand Pazhuo windowsill, nose almost pasted the window glass, I looked at the sea of greed. The sea for a high, one will be low, a big wave, a small wave, one will be splashed for a calm silence. Big Wave on the boat rocking, but that's okay, this is not the Clippers, and I know that very soon we will have to Zhuanghe Hong Kong has. Small window in the boats, and ship in the opposite direction to us open to, I do not know where to go. Fishing boat suddenly suddenly distant past, I do not know where to go. Water in the clouds under the care mapping is a light green, and it illustrates very clean, very clear. There are still birds fly, but can not hear their calls. Who at eight o'clock in the morning facing the sea depression does, not to mention Zhuanghe Hong Kong is up. Soon as whistle, our boat dock. Drifted for two days then boarded the mainland, a very exciting day in the rain. From the port to the bus terminal Zhuanghe 4 yuan per revenue money, we have shouted expensive, but when you drive no one said anything when you get a never-ending. Finally they are both fortunate to ride the bus, if such a long way to take a taxi to consume at least I do not know how much silver. Buses go at least half an hour before to the beautiful Zhuanghe. No time to look at the City View,咣when trotting on the way toward a long-distance bus, car door shouting off in the breath shouted, "Dandong, Dandong, Dandong ... ..."
Zhuanghe to Dandong very good road traffic, buses speeding along. No less than the rain, and my thick coat damp and heavy. Three conjoined narrow the seats were not a people can lay down their shoulders,咣when the left-right movement is still Akira backache. When nearly noon, plastic bags only a few slices of snow rice cakes, after the burst of sound Kacha have nothing. Looked at a pile of plastic bags咣comfort when patted my back said: "to Dandong, you eat large hotel." This temptation is true mantra that the hotel confused with sleep.
Off East Hong Kong, but also it began to rain.
Looking at the water-Lin Lin, Dandong City, our hotel completely washed away. Shenyang, the train ticket back to all sold out, and the two meters away from the "vote down" a lot of hands but holds all the tickets, the sound is not a small selling of "Shenyang, Shenyang has." To spend money to get the ten-dollar ticket to see the time there are two Hui Chen for three hours, we intend to see end of the bridge.
50 years ago, the bridge in that war was severed, it is also called the Broken Bridge. Arch of the bridge stopped at River Center into a flat bar, from the People's Republic of Korea was the beginning. Got into the Riverside Hotel, a flavor, I used binoculars to see the opposite, it is separated by a river with our exotic. With our way along the river is different from the other side there is no high-rise hotels, but Misty trees. A person riding a bicycle along the side paths are fast line, rain Debu smaller.
Yalu River in the silent flowing.
Rained constantly, can not be laid-back streets of Dandong Guangyi Xia, Lin Zhaoyu the end of the bridge on a photo shoot not be in vain once. In the urban area as long as 5 yuan taxi and just pick up where. A taxi to buy the big bags of strawberries,咣shoes when walking in the rain, a water-Yi Gu, already soaked.
Ticket brokers do not deceive us, train No. 110 on the seat is there. 16:45 start time the train began to cross the Liaodong endless mountain.
