January 23, two days of Lishi, Shanxi, another a city. Unfortunately, we do not have time to stay. CMB has to Liulin car, immediately jump. If you go to moraine mouth, it should sit in the north direction of Lishi car. We are all the way to the west. To the northern Shaanxi.
Fast one hour, to the Willows. 18 Bend Road, the roadside cave multi-up. Each cave door are a different color of the curtains hung. Curtain are simple geometric patterns, triangle, square, diamond,
Circle. . . Coloring games like primary school textbooks, they have contracted a different part of the bright colors. Loess in the monotonous snow, this everybody curtain decorated with festive colors.
Willow can not find the bus to go wubu. Asked the station, saying that only after the car to sixth days. Asked taxi
Said to be 60. Available from looking at the map, the distance to the Liulin than Lishi ah to be nearly doubled, to wubu should be only 10 bar a few kilometers. We sat Lishi come from China and Pakistan took only 5 dollars. This is not new revenues do. Can not do things that drive up local prices. We have 309 national highway side so ride. As long as the west, should be to go in northern Shaanxi, over wubu bar.
Do not wait until the west of the car, even if it is a big liberation of coal at all. Also a taxi came to solicit.
Is 15:00 a. We shiver in the cold. Drivers insist on 60 Tai Yuen. We continue to so.
Two local teenagers are going to wubu visit relatives, so hailed a partnership. They bargain, 50. We are all out of 25.
Cave more and more closer we are from the Yellow River.
15:30, after the Yellow River Bridge, we have entered the wubu.
LP introduced the inn closed New Year. A family business hotel door still open. Just opposite the coach station. Hotel is only one uncle in the register. We must live in 10 beds. Grandpa suggested that you still live in Superior Room bar. Conditions are good points. New Year's poor health during the ordinary beds, high room a lot better. The price from 45 Kandao 30, we have moved into senior housing.
Open the door, sank half. This also can be called superior room? Otherwise you do not say I did not report any high expectations, but now. . . Sheets is black, has been head is shiny black, pillows do not see the original color had been. Has a separate bathroom, toilet still sported age-old predecessors left behind a mound of gold, hand-washing the pond do not know who vomit already blackened residues. Fortunately, but fortunately, no money to live 10 beds, what kind of uncertainty does.
2 is also called the waiter brought out a little color to distinguish the pillow to get out of sleeping bags. Fortunately, there are sleeping bags, or really hard to dig into the blanket.
High room door on the front of the Yellow River has. Of the Yellow River at the foot of the flow. Came to the yard, the original Yellow River at our feet.
Wide river. The other side is a stretching of the Luliang mountains. That is the boundary of Shanxi Province. We stood on the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi.
Icicle Village floating over the river, slowly southward. A quiet river banks, were frozen Dong Zhuo. The depths of winter the Yellow River water is still deep tan. On the land to us all the way through the color. Icicle river reflection in the light does not glare.
It took three in the street money to eat mutton string of nine strings. Hired a slow swim (Hubei called numbness, Hunan, called the slow travel, that is, with shelters in three motor), to send us to wubu city.
The ancient city built on mountains, mountain road motorcycles in the loess bumps. And smoke. Narrow and rugged roads, polished wheels on the edge of a cliff. Onto the mountain come to regret it better.
Mid-standing point of view of the Yellow River, the sunset under the river and mountains on both sides of the same, showing a dull red color. Icicle covered river, in the Youlan issued under the glorious sunset. Heaven and earth so quiet, only the north wind blowing fluttering of the frozen face.
Dilapidated city, but still male, as the two sides.
Walk down the mountain, 4 km trail head in the Yellow River. We watched the sun, the last ray of light is also hidden to the side of the mountain.
Finally found a restaurant still open the door. The food there was a lot more expensive than in Taiyuan. Point of a tomato fried eggs, one up, all eggs, tomatoes, put about 1 / 4 less. It seems that here is a rarity in the winter vegetables, ah.
We really do not want to return to that high-level room. Fortunately, there is a computer learning center, is a small cafe. 2 yuan / hour. Internet irrigation. "Tibetan antelope," the Northwest chapter, said there is no Internet cafes wubu do not know to give them the information point of the change there is no payment for it.
Tomorrow morning 6:00's car to Yulin, back to the inn, water-cooled pools dirty, do not wash the face, and sleeping.
