Brought windbreaker from Shanghai to Lijiang finally came in handy early in the morning get out of hotels, standing on the street, cool breeze blowing. Turn looked, the end of the road, clouds in mid-air flowing, snow-capped mountains, quietly standing, so lofty, so mysterious. This seems like a natural creation quiet sleep, and close but unattainable, and his body almost equal to insignificance extremely conscious of my want to praise Quewu that word, awe for a moment give birth to a sudden people will understand the cult of mountain .
Lijiang Naxi ancient music already heard, today's been listening to this great historical value and cultural meaning voice. Ancient Music for the Central Plains Tang Yiyun, string and wind music with the strings sing, which is quite elegant. The band is only 15, six people, including several 80-old man over the age of seventy years of age. They embrace of the musical instruments, dressed in bright gold of the Black Lands pattern Duijin short gowns, long beard sparse, calm, kind face, no eyes after lens turbidity. Their music, how the standards may not be superb, but I think they are aware of their subordinate flowing out what kind of culture, and thus could be so leisurely a plucked-string.
To the Yulong Snow Mountain pass Baisha murals, this is a 600 years of history with murals depicting Guanyin lifetime experience, to teach people from the good. One of the biggest during the Cultural Revolution narrowly escaped a fate, but fortunately it was on its surface in order to Mao Zedong's quotations and paste escaped, but the Buddha's body powder and inlaid with ruby Foyan but ultimately could not escape the greedy black hand, and now we can only see the murals of mottled. To protect the murals, indoor ban photography and video can be expanded with the popularity of Lijiang, visitors increasing, I really worried that these paintings will eventually be destroyed by excessive concentrations of carbon dioxide; or perhaps a few years later one can only watch them across the window a.
Ring of spots around the streets, lane-wide is a small stall and sell all kinds of antiques, jewelry. There are many skin painting, a foot square, is drawn on the sheep's clothing on the folk customs of Yunnan, is quite distinctive, thirteen-element and bought.
Alley was the warm sunshine hanging over Lijiang, home planted a weeping willow in front of the door is a couplet, modified elegant carriage waiting to greet visitors, pull goods race horses leisurely walk in the narrow road. An old man sitting on its own in front of some plain old dress, and cap underneath a sun-tanned face, his face was like sunshine smile. He is blowing a piece, and read out the crude home-made instruments, and looks like the root Hookah. In front of him put out a small cup, surrounded by a faded red cardboard wrote: Xpress free. This old man was so satisfied and happy, not so much he was waiting for a handout, but rather that he was enjoying his life. Somebody said: Nature is beautiful, simple and is happy. To this state, explained by this old man so brilliant, perhaps, he does this is a Gao Ren?
Lijiang has been evident as the Tibetan people: the head of the green cap, blue cotton robe, a white cross with his chest after the bamboo basket carried on the shoulder Gouzhe the plateau the sun drying their face was black and red. Xu is the high mountains and clear water bar, where not only people happy, even Huadu is different from the so-called "Global first sticks", "Lingnan first flowers" to settle here permanently. This is a two encirclement of the Camellia, flower age has been 500 years, each year more than two dozen flowers, each over a thousand Duo, a total of over 20000. Lijiang warm bright sunshine, they are entrenched in a few-meter-long flower racks, large group large groups, back and forth, up and down in full bloom, Manzhi full of branches of a tree full of colorful Roumei red, dumping of the blue in Tung Toru world, so wanton, Zhang Yang case, if only they had the entire space. This momentum, apart from flower essence, there is next to the interpretation of Mody? I looked up, there is a time to kneel idea.
To the snow-capped mountains on the way there are large tracts of Shashi Lu, saying that dry Haizi, because the original is water. 6,7 each month, when the moist mountain wind blowing, the snow melted, all kinds of wild flowers will use numerous colors will be paved huahaizi here. Just stop eating the moment, one that takes away people's intake of the green line of sight. That pool of emerald green water Fasan Zhao Guanghua, driving people into the green, quiet, Yingying, and seemed to say: I do not need to be found. Snow-capped mountains in the post, tree green shop will be down, he wanders the dark days of the blue, the snow line, clearly visible. Water from the spring and the melting snow merged into, bottom of the pebbles, gravel seen clearly. Is very shallow light blue, as previously used by blue-black ink. Stocking the pond for visitors to take photographs of the 5,6 head of yak with the temper is very stubborn, life and death not let up on things, even if the pull of the grass fed, but also disdain. Always believed that animals are free of animal, the higher the place, and even life-restricted life; even if service is also the destination hard to reach places where human beings, not a wish at the moment they are forced to stand in the cold at all times water, was dictated by a few shots.
Cable car to carry us to reach 3,500 meters of mountainside. Jade Dragon Snow Mountain an elevation over 5600 meters, 4500 meters above the snow line, if the cableway ride to the 4,500 meters large, it will encounter the cold snow, and if rented cotton-padded clothes, most people will be cold. At this point, it was sunny, the wind from the mountains whisk come slightly. Standing on the Peak, distant, dark quiet hillside lying in the blue sky, the snow line eyeful are green, and a group of things dark and fluttering in the sky, cloud call? Smoke call? I do not know why they are still consuming a lot of thought. Walk forward, walk through the spruce forest, full of towering trees, better Sang Sang inverted tree on one side, waiting for decay, disappeared in the soil. Yunshan Ping Lin is the end, it was a large pasture in order to take on the Plank Road wooden circle Wai fence outside a spruce forest and layers of complex layers. Has just gone through winter, the grass was just a yellow. No entry for pasture, a boardwalk meandering walk in the grass on the. Ping line, the wind from the mountains, the parked to dance in the spruce branches, so leaves touch the sound waves spread go, come and go, like the palm of friction with the wind.
Down the mountain, and the car flying in the back on the road. Suddenly a helicopter hanging in mid-air, behind the hills was actually burning. Had seen earlier in the Peak, not biotite, is smoke, snow-capped mountains on fire. Just a moment, the mountain top was shiny red and blue days, though not directly see the fire, but it can imagine a fierce momentum. There are several local people on the roadside brook and gasoline barrels scoop of water, I can not help very much worried about how fire-fighting like this? Akin to finding far, only the transport of horses to do, how to get Hill to putting out the fire on it? This fire will burn when will that someone is destroying the number of elderly into the woods by then? Along the way a police opened before, would like is to the fire. The beautiful Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, praying the gods to help you safely through the bar in this robbery.
After dinner, only 7 points and more, we decided to take a look at the travel arrangements to the ancient city of the night. Of the seven stars from the hotel zone in which to walk to the ancient city, about half an hour. 96 years after the Lijiang earthquake revived after reconstruction. Metro is very clean, smooth wide roads, buildings, shops, well-organized layout of the park, where the city is not uncommon for a general electrical shops, selling audio, VCD's, particularly over; FUN, BALENO actually sort of stores can also be in such a remote a small town to find. It appears that people's standard of living of Lijiang is not bad, compared to the previous Jinghong, Dali seems to be better. However, more important reason may be foreign, because the Lijiang's fame is no small, since the only two among the Chinese World Heritage Site, visitors more, and foreigners in particular, love here, but it was a long-term stay there, these stores sub - Bacheng is also required in order to meet the daily bar foreigners.
The entrance to the ancient city in two road junctions, sign a petition: Wood House. Earlier the city mostly aristocrats, built the city after the emperor Ciming Wood House. "Wood" if the word box, and then as a "storm" is taboo, so the ancient city without walls. The city has more than 3000 households live in a population of over 60,000. First saw the ancient city, somewhat like the Jiangnan Water Village, a small bridge, flowing water, people, until you enter the city, Shi Jue otherwise. The city is easily accessible by roadway, those stone paths, although not flat, but was extremely smooth and sharpen the years. The total of each of the vertical roadway, smaller bifurcation, the upward slanting away deep is the home of. Roadway between the two is the waterway, there are a few steps across the aisle wood Dacheng side of the road will be two waterways connected. Waterway, the rainwater, spring water, snow water feature in the meantime pour, leaned over looked, then clear water, snow-capped mountains under the water previous almost exactly the same watercourse under the long, green plants, is water, as the impact of women's The silky 3000 worry endless drift. Who cherish the city of water, water stress, daily sub-time to act. Between a few to a few points, such as the morning wash in the afternoon between a few to a few vegetables and laundry, night, is another period of time. Think of Jiangnan Zhouzhuang, can not help but sigh: same city, this water and that water, as much worlds apart. Since then, fear is no more to see the evil Zhouzhuang water.
Waterside there weeping willows, the roadside stores. Lijiang Naxi Dongba filled with rich culture, ancient city shops sons and operated from outside vendors, are sold everywhere Dongba Woodcut, disc majority, there are primary colors, and also has a number of other red, blue, carving is the pictographic Dongba text, works behind the comment of the hieroglyphs; In addition to wooden plate, there are bottle-shaped wood carvings, bottle shape is the mascot of Dongba culture of worship: frog. The city is also dominated by hand-weaving, all kinds of bags, dresses, shoes, tablecloths, scarves, coasters, wallets, or cotton, or hemp, and many hung up a wall, tempting thoughts, taking a closer look, on the Kan Xia, this also liked, that love, in order to be properly Guangbian, fear is a good few days. Of course, a variety of shops selling antiques, while there are hung silver, genuine national costumes rental. We finally found missing in the Baisha murals painted skin, types and prices are better than Pak Sha. To appreciate the ancient city of thin, they live in abandoned alley inn hotel bar, even if only to satisfy curiosity, the owner equally enthusiastic welcome you into the premises. That set the grass trees, antique, was eaves and small building Wai holds enough to keep your garden with these creatures. Live here are mostly young people who self-tour, several did not know Cou in the yard, a cup of tea, a few words, maybe the next day the team will be success. Walk the Quartet, delivery of new friends, Lijiang Inn by doing my part.
Tian An, and lamps bright. The ancient city, there is no weariness of the stretch, the filling up. Shop yard, tunnel, on a variety of accent mixed with the air under the night. Bar, tea house, coffee shop, hung with Chinese, English, Japanese and hieroglyphic signs, baskets of various shapes made of shade on the table covered with tie-dyed cloth, the room is a rattan chairs, loudspeakers sowing the JAZZ, it was while eating French beef side push lightly Yangzhou fried rice, hand a cup of Lipton black tea; next door to foreigners drinking Pu'er online news. The ancient city as the weather-beaten old man, tolerance, acceptance of the overseas visitors culture; he was deemed to lively child, with joy joy the footsteps of thousands of pairs of walking together, naughty a, slapstick with.
Visited the more than two hours, I feel a bit tired, want to find a rest. All open seats are relying on water, we have chosen a seated under a willow, called the rose tea and chicken bean jelly beans. Not authentic bubble tea can be a very beautiful tie-dyed cloth, small light bulbs were replaced by smoke candles in the carved wooden shade chic wrapped inside the divergent peaceful warmth. Bean jelly beans made with chicken, thick deep green beans, combined with vinegar, soy sauce, pepper, Dangling with a big side will be up, seen in a lot. We do not know on the inside, big mouth and swallowed, first thing that strikes you open and very salty and sour and spicy and delicious, and so find that their effect has been too late. That unexpected spicy, not an ordinary Jiangnan region can bear the, the most staying power, the tongue and stomach pain on the turbulent forced up the heat, until the two individuals have the eyes to light up like Wolf, the last End failed to endure, but also left a lot. Sipping tea and blowing wind, so presumably those of us who have become the ancient city of a bar scene, close to the tourists come and go, there have been curious eyes cast over, or simply got into a beautiful temptation to join together.
The night was deep, people still refused to leave the lights remain. Tomorrow, waiting for me, is how the beautiful ancient city style it?
