7.28-29 Japan Jiayuguan
After 30 hours of hard work, finally reached the first stop on the Northwest Jiayuguan. Because there are more than a dozen kilometers away from the urban station, out of the station will be sitting for a dollar a bus to the city by pointing the locals live in the East Asian Guest House, very good S & P between 25 yuan / bed, two bed only I am a man, as well as hot water, color TV, how have to fifty or sixty in Wenzhou block bar.
As the night, how the car did not see clearly, but he's Jiayuguan quite small, not like a city, somewhat like a town. To listen to the locals talk of Jiayuguan city, only 12 million people, of which there are 40000 Jiuquan Iron and Steel Plant employees, plus family members accounting for almost the entire city of more than half. Economy mainly relies on to prop up JISCO, this is like the city of Panzhihua in Sichuan. Here, 1,500 meters above sea level, but also much higher than the top of Mount Tai. However, if not what their reaction to the altitude, I heard that some of Golmud response to severe.
Turn out to settle down after a moment, in a small restaurant to eat dinner with the boss and one of his friends to chat with. According to them are now very favorable investment environment in Gansu, ground may not give you the money first, with the engaging property, farming can be. Despite the development of the west are now talking about a very powerful, but only a small area in Sichuan, where a lot of money, or lack of. The local people thought was too conservative and are usually reluctant to lose formal work, so there will not seize the opportunity to local people. In this place, the relationship between the post-Netcom, if the brain alive, money is easy. Jiuquan Steel's information system is made by a company in Beijing, of the four million (this figure seems a little problem). Here are a few big bosses are all used to be Dan Mianhua of Wenzhou.
Early the next morning to five dollars of Jiuquan hotels rented a bike to Jiayuguan tower. In a strange city bike, listening to music really feels good, and the. In the ticket office to the Shandong Foreign Affairs met a tour, we went with them, a sizeable listen to tour guides to explain that those foreigners also seriously help me correct pronunciation, listen to enthusiastic.
Jiayuguan Great Wall is the first hurdle (West), was built in the Ming Dynasty, five kilometers away from the Jiayuguan City West, the Silk Road must be passed through. Now on display is the one off the main floor, which is divided into layers, some of the courtyard walls dimensions into the training is probably used before. Walls are all done I do not know how to use soil for hundreds of years going from seed. In the forefront by customs outside the castle on the Liao Lookout to see through the vast expanse of the Gobi Desert and some corrosion of the bare mountains. Flames no longer exists, but the battlefield of grief seemed to have at hand. The tower is still preserved, but those are the Great Wall is almost blown sand collapsed, and only faintly see a wall across the Gobi Desert Lane. "With the desert tolerance, you can become the great cause of Han." Closed out, in, outside of customs was holding the camel gives photographs, triple time, I will be riding with interest a bit. Originally squatting camel looks quite short, thought the station up so high, and threaten me Yida Tiao.
Wanted to tomorrow morning and then traveled to Dunhuang, but returned to the city until 13 o'clock number, just a bus trip to the Tun-huang, overtime cars hastily packed luggage ticket got on. Only know that the cars got on a private 10 small bread. We also sell tickets air-conditioned car, everyone Dahushangdang. However, I feel kinda good, and this car to Dunhuang as long as four and a half hours, faster than the average car for nearly two hours, as we chartered like. Jiayuguan out of the car flying in the vast Gobi Desert, the only green is the telecommunications visibility billboards. The girl sitting next to me is a student of medicine secondary school students, along the way told me a lot of things Jiayuguan, Anxi off when she gave me a very bright smile, and bless me, so that the original monotonous Gobi journey to become relaxed and happy. Come Anxi County, the sun not yet down-hill, the moon already climbed up, and then look at twilight in the desert, like a beautiful picture, quiet and the atmosphere, to thousands of years between the same dedication to meet people.
9.29-30 day Dunhuang
8:00 pm arrive Dunhuang is more, to bypass those soliciting the crowd moved into the labor hostel not far from the station, 15 yuan / day, quite cheap, but conditions are not very good, there is no hot water, good I have long been prepared, and do not care.
In a Sichuan restaurant, eat three square meals a meal clutch lamb, appetite surprisingly good. When eating quickly run into a group of open-Lanzhou - Dunhuang line drivers, they are very enthusiastic asked me a drink. Northwest had heard that drinking to life to begin has not dared to in the past, the kind they would not stand up to them with enormous amounts of up takes numerous. The Northwest's bold and really worthy of the name, but fortunately my stomach evening performance was good, 782 highland barley go on as if nothing matters. May be the relationship between the mood bar. After dinner they took me to sing karaoke ok, had to toss it back more than two guest houses. Early tomorrow morning they would drive back to Lanzhou, and perhaps the future is impossible to see them again, and can not help but sad.
Very late the next day a whim, rented a bike and ready to ride on the Mogao Grottoes. Back and forth from the city to the Mogao Caves are 54 kilometers, the hotel's boss to see my thin body kindly advised me to go by car, but I declined the ride of her good intentions still insisted on going. Bring water bottle, sun hat a person will follow the direction signs to ride all the way forward. Out of Dunhuang City, first along the National Road from Jiayuguan to ride the 12 kilometers, this section is a downhill, riding up and especially easy. Because he did not know the road to the Mogao Grottoes missed enumeration slipped, thanks to a group of school to remind students before they did not take the more costly mistakes. From the aisle to the Mogao Grottoes turned into the road, both sides are blowing in the desert and Gobi, started uphill, riding up and not just as relaxed. A cars a car full of tourists from around Jishi and before, from time to time there are many tourists come to the attention of casting, feeling quite proud. In about nine kilometers from the national highway when hit a water station to live in a household. As the Mogao Caves in the desert, their job is to ensure that the water supply to the attractions. This is the Gobi Desert where a simple little cottage, man of the house in the repair of a tractor, the hostess was holding the child in the play, a cheerful, thick people, as if life did not feel how very meager existence. They are warm and easy to get to the desert with fruit in honor of me, so I am particularly moved.
Finally to the Mogao Caves, visitors many Tingche Chang parked full of cars, horse riding, I put in the middle of hand, the most prominent. Mogao Caves also known as "Thousand Buddha Caves", is located 27 kilometers southeast of Dunhuang County, under the Mingsha as it is located in Moga village is named. It is China's largest and most famous Buddhist cave art. Mingsha precipice distributed in three to four levels ranging from 1.6-kilometer. 492 existing caves, murals total area of about 45,000 square meters, more than 2,100 body-color statues. Grottoes size, a statue of varying height, large majestic vigorous, small exquisite exquisite, their attainments of the depth, imagination is rich, is very striking. But for the purpose of protection of cultural relics, many caves are not open to visitors, but a symbolic construction of a number of cave door for visitors. Listen to the staff, some of high artistic value of the cave is only open to professionals, to read all of the caves, tens of thousands of tickets on the well. The content of the story are mostly Buddhist murals, such as the Buddha's life and do good at the expense of the story of pre-existence. There are Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Heavenly King, Lux, small terra-portraits and feather people, trapeze, flowers, birds, animals. Despite thousands of years of wind and sand paintings erosion, is still colorful, crisp lines that people have to admire their superb craftsmen of ancient art art and creative spirit. To see the gate that the crowd, plus I'm Don painting is illiterate. Temporary change your mind did not go to the ancient Tang Dynasty paintings, but the climb up the sand dunes after the Mogao Grottoes loud yell. My voice echoed among the sand dunes in the Mogao Grottoes, open and long. Some of the visitors were down to hear my cry, and I have the collusion of loud, as if the entire Hills are crowded together, and that the real feeling of carefree dripping. Unfortunately, we do not Montagnards of singing in antiphonal style, or even more interesting.
The way back on the difficult of the many, just cry in the mountains has made me excited exhausted, three or four o'clock in the afternoon desert sun is the most powerful of the. I rode while the number of edges next to the mileage card. Sometimes deliberately do not look at a period of time, thinking that should have come to one kilometer, and can be Made in mileage card, was only three or four hundred meters. In the last few kilometers and sometimes feels really can not stand, and have the idea of free-riding can be do not want in this final Wanjiebubao. In such a fierce ideological struggle in coming to an Dunhuang. To the hotel, two legs, the same as the filling of the lead, and even climbed up on the second floor room, there is no enthusiasm, and they are down on the sofa in the lobby of the rest. To see my boss looked tired, and some can not bear, quickly pour me water, and handed towels, really have a feel at home.
After dinner, spiritual feel much better. Had just come back on the road would like to cancel the evening to go Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Moon Spring's plan, which would be thought of the essay Mr. Yu Qiuyu beautiful prose, and then think about 10 kilometers back and forth also, almost more than during the day, not feel their hearts moved. On the wound and onto the car, I hit the road again. Although the day or Jiaoyangsihuo, but at night they already had in late autumn coolness. Along the way there is no street lamps, a number of evening visitors to drive to go back in time now, lighting, thorn was nothing I could not see, only feel of the way through the moonlight touched the Mingsha this time was nearly 9:00, and ticket office have closed down. Guard did not want tickets let me go, but exhortations came out, I casually look at and immediately be closed down. Inside, dark and everywhere, and I would like to inquire about a girl out how to go up the mountain, and she kindly advised me not to climb, now the top people do not have one, nothing can not see. I thanked his good intentions still insisted on walking to the foot.
Reach the foot of the mountain, as the moonlight shines upon the sand, surrounded by hand, bright up. According to legend, long time ago, bluestone Mingsha is a verdant and luxuriant lush mountains. Crescent Moon Spring River Temple and more every temple, we must sing worship. Fifteenth day a year agency downtown fire, the fire teams gathered in spring Crescent Society, craft slice. Unexpectedly, alerted the desert in the desert Dragon Prince. Dragon Prince roar heard, would be sinister wind everywhere, piled sand like a mountain. Last night, it intolerable loneliness, sneaking out to see Du fire, to see wonderful Department, was moved to loud applause. Instant dumping of windblown sand, a sand hills, plains, sky, and all the people, all pressure in the yellow sand below. Dragon Prince Edward knew that crime ridden, go back and no means of subsistence, they killed a mountain in the bluestone. Since then, around Crescent Lake has a sand hill. Hill under the countless innocent people, they always pounding on drums and about their unfortunate experience. Even today, locals said: "The back of the mountain the sound of rumbling. Before the mountains the sound of gongs and drums."
Mingsha Mountain may not seem high, but very strenuous climb up. Sand is very soft, set foot on a step half step down immediately, 20 minutes later finally reached the summit. Are surrounded by sand dunes shadows, quiet and charming. Yamagata appearance, peak, such as the blade, seen from afar rolling, such as Qiu Long winding. Now under the moonlight shines like gold-chan yellow, soft as silk. The moon looks like from the very close couples in an amorous girl watched as his lover. And then look at their own climb to the road just like a line in the sand dunes on the black satin, twists and profound. A gentle breeze, I felt the heart and soul are flowing, as in the fly, like light, comfortable .....
Down when a lot faster, keep up the opposite hill, down a half step on the step, there is Yuhuachengxian to get high, soon went to the foot of the mountains. Yamashita has an artificial lake, is the Crescent Moon At first I thought, could not help being somewhat disappointed. Later, go look inside know Crescent Moon Spring is still inside, so excited to forge ahead in line. The entire Valley Jingde scary. Crescent Moon next to a very old tower, which lived an old man watching TV. Asked him if he borrowed a flashlight, then down to the fountain. Unfortunately, too dark, only to see an outline of this lake, like a newborn crescent. The wanted to call about who portrayed Mr. Yu Lao Ni, but listening to the old man speak Lao Ni has passed away, and nunnery are also removed, and indeed people have changed. Fountain covered with dazzling aquatic plants, in such a desert, there is a Wang Qingquan, there was no God of grace. There are indeed "Mingsha Yue Xing, Crescent Lake wash heart" feeling.
Back to the hotel is already more than eleven, and calculate their total today, there are 62 kilometers of riding a surge of pride wells up. Since I live between Pu no hot water, eat a few Haoshuidaishui please attendant Kebab for her gave me a standard room bathroom wash a hot bath, then they go to bed fall asleep ....。
