D2 Yangshuo - quietly Yulong River the next morning, we are at the train station (Guilin has two railway stations, generally speaking is the South Station) next to the minibus ride to Yangshuo, 10 yuan / person, about 70 minutes or so to reach Yangshuo County.
Car has not stop, a group of people had flocked Do not misunderstand, not to rush to be done on the bus but the local tour guides. Their tour guide fee is generally 10 ~ 20 yuan / day, if you are not very clear on the surrounding attractions, we might find a tour guide. We do, because before the trip to make enough of the homework, but also carry a few heroes on the Raiders, so we are loitering in themselves.
After the hotel check in and return to the bus station and get on board bound for Campbell's car, sat down Yulong Qiao, the fare is 4.5 yuan / person. Got off the trail along the river took about 15 ~ 20 minutes, you'll see an old stone arch bridge, which is Yulong Qiao, great flavor. Locals say that it has been 600 years of history. This is very nice scenic road, his right hand is in full bloom with rape fields, the left hand is quietly flowing Yulong River.
We have encountered a small white dog roadside, very beautiful, very clean. Wanted to and its like taking pictures, did not think it was cowardly hide behind the master went. A few days later, we see many of these dogs, it is clear this is the local farmers at home to support the watchdog. It seems the South dogs and a very large difference between the north - the North greatly dogs are high, it is mighty, while the south is very delicate and elegant dog (how feel like saying that the difference between northerners and southerners, He He ).
Yulong River water is very clear, moderate flow, it is suited to take bamboo raft drifting. Yulong Qiao side there is a small hut, when the peak season, here is the ticket, the fare is 240 yuan / Raft 2 person (full), there is a leisure craft, that is, their own planning, 100 yuan / hour. When we go to is the off-season, so it can be themselves and boatman Kanjia, we request the entire drift and end to the workers and peasants Bridge (that is the great banyan tree), and finally to 180 transactions. General, boatman are willing to float half (to Yangshuo), rather than floating throughout. Because of the dry season the water flow slowly, and takes 5-6 hours to reach the destination; and along the way there are 26 Bazi, a time when a lot of shallow water exposed Bazi will need two people to go along with the raft lifted very hard.
Planning for our raft was younger brothers, very kind-hearted, this sub-two people. Guo Bazi very thrilling: Every one dam, we will be first up to the Bazi, the brothers work together rafts carried to the dam, until we get on to later, they would strive to push the raft into the water. It feels like playing in the playground where rapids Yong Jin: first, not the front-end raft into the water, watched the water should you have not seen our seats, and suddenly float up immediately (but do not forget to Gaotai legs Oh), is very interesting.
Mr. childhood had seen "Sesame Street" and "Big Bird in China" program, which referred to the Li River in China there are many feathered edge of the "tree." A raft riding, sir, began to search for such a young age charmed the "tree" was not long before the rather excited to discover that these "trees" over the River. Did not expect - boatman rather scornful tone, said: "Oh, that's Bambusa Multiplex.": (
Yulong River scenery is beautiful, because it is low season, the river rafts small, 5 hours, we have only just met more than a decade. Four weeks is very quiet, the birds can hear the crisp; shore is one of the Bambusa Multiplex dripping clusters of green, the water beautiful kingfisher skimmed from time to time, as well as wild ducks splashing in the water; water clear bottoming out, you can to see the fish underwater walk, as well as the reflection of both sides of Castle Peak. Is really relaxed and happy.
Husband to see boatman designated rafts, moving the heart, gearing boatman helped draw up. One more person designated, the natural rate of progress up the soon, the result is - how quickly went to a dam.
The living conditions of local people are still not very good. The boatman told us that they also used the river washing clothes, but the water has been eating machines use pressurized water suppressed. They light a fire is still uphill firewood, but now closed forest, so see where along the river can not be cut, and can only cut the mountain of the.
After 5 hours of rafting, we went to the end of big banyan tree, is said to be the year where Liu lived in the three groups. Because in the past to see some guests wrote, is not worth buying tickets to see, but also no go.
After landing, to the workers and peasants can be stopped on the bridge to return to Yangshuo by car, 2 Yuan / bit.
Night we go out of the Lijiang River dishes taste - Pijiu Yu, but the general feeling. Daoshi good fried river snail, snail's heads are great (and table tennis almost), and tastes very good.
Walking at night in Yangshuo County, and West Street adjacent to a very few blocks are furnished with taste. Yangshuo West Street somewhat similar to Beijing's Sanlitun, but he's delicate and elegant than the Sanlitun, quiet a lot. If you like clubbing, here is a paradise; if you do not like, you can stroll Shop selling souvenirs, or along the river walk.
