As time passed, the details of those on the road become increasingly clear.
Has long been eager to travel, until the university last winter, and finally everything is in place. BBS tourism pages looked at that sentence: Travel can not change the world, but change the look of the world's eyes, I made up my mind, this year the Chinese New Year far from home. January 9, 2004, Three of us starting from the Fudan University. McDull, niu-niu, I, I then had no nickname, then later niu-niu called "Daweibalang."
2 MM than me is small, Mcdull sophomore, Shanghai people; niu-niu Peking Man, and Mcdull a University, freshman. For me, came from Hubei. 3 longing for the distance, like the rush of people, China's iron triangle Union, the perfect combination. Proponents of travel is McDull, she began to pull niu-niu occupation, and according to her claim, because they are all girls, there's boys on the road safety, later to find me, a film both together. So travel plans in 2003 to the end of October on the finalized, and until then, I do not know them. I remember, and McDull a meeting, she dwell excessively on the West's desire, there are Lijiang Petty Bourgeoisie, the whole future of a petty bourgeoisie. We have a good discussion, and the journey started from Shanghai, Guilin - Yangshuo - Kunming - Dali - Lijiang, and then their return home.
9, before they sit, leaving ago, I travel edition specially made one: Tatema starting tomorrow, went to Yangshuo. Part of our night at the supermarket before the confluence of the students, playing the straight to the railway station. We are all immersed in the fantasy front, forget the day outside the Shanghai night geometry, and so I only remember them when the wind a little big bit cold.
At that time the idea of the biggest is undoubtedly the hurry to leave Shanghai, Guilin arrive as soon as possible. But the need for a full 24 hours, the train on the way from east to west in the night crawl, little by little through the Zhejiang, Jiangxi. We are in the car, has been lightly to chatting, to find common topics. Baby Anne was seen newspaper pictures of the youth when it comes to Anne's unique charm, and we finally talked about together. Niu-niu is the absolute Anne fan, her bag on the inside with Anne's book "Rose Island." McDull is a literary youth, and later she took out the "Kitajima poetry," I suddenly surprised, I had also intended to take that collections of poetry on the road to see. We sleep, but I can not sleep, they talk with each other jokes, Mcdull talking about the story of a rabbit and bear, I do Let's talk about Hitler and Mao Zedong's gesture. Wait until the dawn of time has passed Yingtan station. Car into the territory of Hunan Province, outside, played a misty rain, originally monotonous scenery looks even more bleak in the winter. I do not know how, suddenly homesick. However, it was instantly curious to watered down. McDull from the travel backpack out of the information downloaded from the Internet Yangshuo, Guilin's landscape is too rich, and dazzling, we shining map, planning where to go tomorrow. Everything is fresh, fresh is more interesting. Looking out the window, Hunan how everywhere hills, muddy creek, depressed villages, leaning against the window, on a word to take out - Badlands, where the growth of the number of people had to pay efforts to change their original living呀No wonder so many out here, "revolutionary."
Hope of the dawn, but also hope dark. Finally to the state, and the following is Guilin. I sighed with relief, all the way loading compartment where the fire has been almost completely filled with air boring, and we can finally end Lawton, hugging Guilin.
From Guilin North Station out at 20:12 on January 10, the outside has long been a friend to pick the students, my students gained in Wuhan,, 9, came over, which is an appointment with me and he had been. And his home in Guilin classmates. It's great! I am excited, and they embraced each other on a moment, then walked the hard road to tell out loud. Unfortunately, at night, the wind is not small, yet far more level look at the Guilin mountains, they entered the booking good hotels, it's name to a very auspicious "Fu gather." To lay down their luggage, we came out, that new friends have been placed under the Guilin Jie Feng Yan, Shengqingnanque.
At this time, my mobile phone text messages, and obediently, there are three, all issued in 1860 in Guilin. One I still reluctant to delete, "Welcome to China Mobile, the Guilin mountains and rivers under heaven, I hope you in the San-ching, Shui Sau, Dong Qi, stone landscape of the United States to spend an unforgettable time!" That was my favorite China Mobile's time! That dinner is quite distinctive, there are wild Jizi meat, and then talk about wild animals who have been pale, but I have to not care so much delicious food. There is also a small fish like the same needles, you can do to eat, you can click on the soup hot, in particular, chewy. Laughing wind, gained new friends met, in particular, excited, saying non-stop. Later, also tasted the well-known long-pomelo, sweet. McDull is the happiest, and met with the fruit on the elated. End, I naturally made in this family, Xie, Guilin people really warm to us, this is how good start. For the time being refrain from that.
Back to the hotel, washed hot water bath, be properly sleep, Guilin waiting for us tomorrow to review it.
January 11, Guilin. Sunny today, woke up very early, Mcdull they also fell asleep. I quietly get up, a person went outside oncoming cold, but fortunate that there is a weak sun, cloud, or a lot. Finally see the mountains, and those peaks on the small green surrounded by four weeks, that we were already living in a painted mirror. Streets is a small market, people set up their stalls to sell vegetables, daily necessities, and some clutter. Would like to find a sale early, and indemnity compensation authentic Guilin rice noodles, but only the cake and the like, can not help trace lost.
Returned to his room and found Mcdull also up and is mirror dressing.
"To the train station to buy train tickets Kunming it, we have two to" get her hair while his mouth, "Do not panic Well, first Guilin city to play a lap before making any moves," I feel a little unpleasant, how no point heel sure, they look out of here.
"No, as early as early to buy peace of mind," she can be really impatient, it should be said to be doing a rational, methodical.
Well, leaving niu-niu, and gained sound asleep in the room to continue, and we went straight to the North Station train away, very close, walking 500 meters went to, where almost nobody, but fortunately the conductor already at work.
So ask questions, the results we decided to go to City South Station ticket, North Station waiting a few days it not come back trouble, but also a starter to Kunming by train, 2059 times, tickets good buy.
Wake niu-niu, gained, and we discuss some, given the cheaper room rate here, there are four human day, as long as the water heater 50, so come back tonight or settled. Baggage will not have their backs啦, we catch on, go out to the city on board a public gas, began to feast their eyes on the! Approached the line of cars in the street, both sides of the peaks constant is the round one Tuo, Guilin City, sit between the fall of these lovely hills. To listen to next to a native speaking, the highest buildings in Guilin City, not more than nine floors of the building not be allowed to outweigh the natural man-made fortune of Castle Peak, Guilin is indeed a purely tourist city.
Felt the city center, we get off, and which stops in front of a fine bridge, not far away is a red bridge. Under the bridge is estimated to Lijiang, and the river fairly clear, Sujiang looked, the mountains with Tsui, the other side of the pavilion built on mountains, is quite distinctive. We are a snack bar in the bridge, the point of the long-awaited rice noodles. A small bowl, nothing special feeling. McDull is actually very satisfied look.
We stopped at the shore a moment, gained seize photographs, he is not to save the photo enthusiast, I would not have to bring a camera, and wants to find pictures of him snip snip're in business. Niu-niu DV machines Banzhuo a leisurely shoot Mcdull holding cell phone in that I do not know who to send text messages. For me, would like to know the name of the bridge, resulting asked a few passers-by no answer. Thus, we crossed under the bridge, through a Riverside garden, walked massive red bridge.
At the moment, are 10:30, and at the urging of McDull, we stopped in a taxi to the train station. If the initial fee is here, eight, the result took 8. South Station looks really small, but the door down with a fountain plaza, bought the tickets, bought McDull Chang city map, we are ready to come out into the Seven Star Park and Duxiu Peak, which is the most famous of the two. However, the car how do? A pair of middle-aged couple in front of a tourist line that can go to various attractions on the down they are only guidelines, walk south across the viaduct. That couple is also with us, So now they are engaged in tourist guides, and all the way recommend their van, nice accent to understand, or Jingzhou people, half of the villagers. Hands over to end for business cards. We have been walking on the way to buy a pound a little old lady selling bananas, very tasty, but no tours there. A large mountain standing in front, came closer, the original is the South Stream Hill Park. In this regard, we are not interested in, looked at trouble.
Direct play got better, I would readily call on the roadside of a Santa-na, driving the median age of 30 or so driver, then we know that she is the elder sister Tang. We are pleased the ground vehicle, Tang eldest sister to see that we are a traveler, we asked the Seven Star Park, the prices, she said that about 10, and then say chartered day 50, 1 pm 25. We figured a chartered, when Sister said Tang also be free of charge, as long as we go to a newly-opened a craft shop Guangyi Xia. I fear a trap, and asked simply have to buy anything? She said that does not want to buy do not buy, but where she could register to obtain 10 in petrol. Why not do it? So, we went to a shop that looked at specific, local is not small, indeed very expensive, there are jade, jewelry, root carving and so on. Dazzling, but really is a technological level. We have nothing to buy.
Goes out, four of us thought that the road ends here for free, and ready to go directly to Duxiu Peak, according to Sister Tang said that far from here. At this time, Don older sister's car chase came, she called to us: "how do you not get on the train"? The following section of the original drive is free of charge. Nice! So, we say to the Elephant Trunk Hill, a turning to go. We have great interest the ground floor of the car, I saw a young age like to see the Elephant Trunk Hill, was in primary school textbooks, the writing on "Some, like an elephant's nose." Later, song: "very young, I dreamed to Guilin, but have money when I did not time, but I did not have the time for money," the first impression on the Guilin, first of all is that this Block of Cheung Pei Shan. When the stands, through the trees, look at the past, only one round Rock Hill, there is a big hole in the barren land, where the shallow water below. Import a Tahsi a stream, it should be remitted Taohuajiang Lijiang. Some disappointment has come not the time. Sister Tang said that now is the dry season, only a year in April, around the Ching Ming Festival, after spring rains, the water rising, where the most beautiful, and then could really see a life-like long nose elephant stretching drinking water. Don and I posed for a Big Sister, they regret leaving here. Immediately reach the next stop --- Duxiu Peak, in the Guangxi Normal University, the door, we stopped. And his older sister goodbye, her mission was over, handed Chang cards, before we know her surname Tang, is leasing the company's labor model. At this time, a fast 1:00.
We stood in front of National Taiwan Normal University wide, hung above the plaque - Jingjiang Palace. Here is the original used to be a grandson of the emperor's mansion, called one Jingjiang King, later, in early Qing is virtuous Shuaifu set Nanwang Kong. Has historical roots. National Taiwan Normal University is located in Canton with this, some outstanding people. In the past, I am also very impressed widely National Taiwan Normal University, National Taiwan Normal University Publishing as wide a set of very fine books on the philosophical thinking. I used to travel every city is bound to first go to where the most famous universities, I feel very comfortable on campus can help make the buffer on the local tension. Now ancient wide in front of National Taiwan Normal University, but also confirms the set of my strategy, Hehe.
However, into the palace wants 50 tickets. Obviously too expensive, we are hesitant. At this time, we have seen next to a Pianmen, but the door was written: Please show your student ID! The students dip in and out, I have a swagger to enter the door, Zhuang Dexiang inside the students. But after three guys been stopped on the outside, they failed, had to detour into the back door, where there is not check tickets. I give McDull made a text message to rendezvous at the top Duxiu Peak!
I am another person, and to the palace's main hall looked before, when a tour guide over a foreign tourists, and the door 2 Ming Dynasty warriors dressed person, standing cried out: ride to Royal Highness! Gaode like a really, is not it, should not be so exaggerated, and I regret and the left here. Next to the red paint of the wooden structure is also a house, I walked into a look is the text of the original law school building at the entrance there is a rusting Lilium, inscribed the Qing create a prefect. I went into the house, empty, on holiday, a person does not. Inspired by wooden stairs, giggle straight ring. Hint of sunlight come in, I think is very warm here to be a teacher, would not leisurely! Is not far out of the classroom building where, in fact I find the toilet, just in the office, she wondered, how did not. Finally between the two school buildings and see the common WC.
Plum Blossom in the open lawn, I asked a woman in red, before we know the way to go Duxiu Peak. Yamashita is a personal guarding ticket, I had to put away the surprises travelers face, if nothing had happened to the monastery on the go. Cross the border, next to a mountain climber, back bags, wearing boots, appears to be the school's female students. The are looking for her voice, but no openings have only concentrated on the top with excitement mounted Duxiu Peak, which is really a ride going up the Gushan, was a small fortresses surrounded by the Quartet, the whole panoramic view of Guilin, landscapes and street house interlaced with each other, distinguish the city in the mountains, or mountain in the town, but those states Zi 100 Taiwan mountain is always a hero, looked all around, countless peaks, the following people also see very clearly, but did not find that they gained. I have so that when the wind pass away, and my heart can not help but recite: infinity landscape character alp!
Within a short while, McDull will come up, gas kick Xu Yu, niu-niu No. 2, gained Finally, holding a camera, a step a viewfinder. I leaned on the railing loudly exclaimed, "Guilin, I love you", then, that foreign tourists will come up, tour guides, and his English description for this under heaven landscapes. McDull secretly listening to one side, as if she was in March to test high-mouth. Gushan distance also has a echoed, the name Fubo Hill, dimly visible to the mountains kiosk, pavilion for visitors, resounds Lijiang River water waves. River side, Qianshan competing show, unlimited soft. If I widely National Taiwan Normal University's students, it blessed. Daily boarding, our hearts will be how to relax. The pavilion in the mountains, we take a break and found numerous columns on the lettering on the wall, there is a such a reading: "Liuzhou, like Hubei, Wang Ting Luo Army." Thought of Fudan four taught graffiti on the desks, as well as Yanyuan Zhongting inside the message, similar to, quite interesting.
Down from the hills, the sky is more clear, we are free to walk along the road, in the Department of Fine Arts Gallery that bend, look back Duxiu Peak, good a strange mountain, on the throngs of so stiffly, like garden sculpture.
Unfortunately, exhibition closed, and had to go to art store and turns it inside, there are many paintings. With mostly Chinese painting, oil painting, watercolor embellished them. Staring at one of only two fish painted watercolors, I feel really simple, Yiyun do one of them. McDull pointing to a painting, said that inside there is an unforgivable mistake, painting woman on end playing fife. shop opposite a wall, inscribed with an ancient inscription. I arrive in high spirits with your fingers on those writing on the outline.
Canton Changchun Normal University campus as if the four seasons, A gentle breeze blows, trees swaying. Resembles the pattern of Sun Yat-sen, floating forward Yi Gu elegant atmosphere.'s Road on both sides of fragrant camphor trees, banyan, sweet-scented osmanthus trees especially lush. Our party of four walking on the campus, I wonder if unknowingly come to a library before the kind of classical architecture, good one laurel, planted a circle-shaped shade. Shupang Li a monument, on the Notes: Sun's resident office. here, have done the handsome Mr. Sun House, 1923, he really would be location, picked for such a beautiful place. Mr. Sun is my most admired figures for China's democracy and freedom, devoted life, glorious defeat. Today, in his footsteps, he Why the dream has not been achieved today? Not much thought, we sat down on the steps and enjoy the tropical winter sunshine.
