January 26, Hatsugo
Busy with work up. Travels have to hurry to an end.
The last leg of the Yellow River Hukou Waterfall.
6:50 am, boarded the car Yan'an to Linfen, we start at dawn in the darkness.
Usual companions began to fill the car feel. There is also a man and a woman on board two donkeys in Beijing. We all know at the station before, sitting the same bus, the destination is the same, this road is the first time in public transport to travel out of the same encounter.
Days slowly release light. 2 Beijing donkey also chatted tired and engaged reverse gear to sleep. I and two fellow behind nothing cackle. From State Road 210 south of Yan'an and Yulin north, as are two walk through the mountains Jia Zhi. The road side is a frozen river. Side of the mountain, and the Yanan north of the somewhat different. Mountain trees and hay increased significantly. Trees are not large, reckoned that is 3,5 years of age. Although it is winter, all dry grass, but the mountain looked eyeful, but also imagine a spring green. Villagers said the past few years, the policy of returning farmland to forests to implement well. The mountains are all kinds of trees, the state farmland and the people made rice, baking. I have made Zhefan scenery. They recalled 20 years ago, where the mountains are dense forests, but a few short years, it has been deforested. Now the country began to closed forest, they are very supportive.
11:00, bus to Yichuan. Drivers to jump the line breaks, and we all got out. 4 donkeys get together, find restaurant to eat.
Lamb face, Rou Gamo, fried Daoxue. Wants to, after this the village children, the next meal in Shanxi had.
1:00, we have four in the Yellow River Bridge, under the bus. Both of them prepared to spend the night in Hukou, in order, and Beijing green convergence. Green of the large team of people are said to have opened the 3,4 cars arrive in the evening. We have not enough time, and only came out to see whether the car riding the wind to Linfen.
From the Yellow River Bridge to the Hukou 4 kilometers down the road, we decided to go into.
Winter, the Yellow River, is the dry season. Most bare the wide river. Only the middle of no more than 20 meters wide is also covered with snow and ice. Occasionally, one can see the exposed ice cracks under the Yellow River water flow.
We walk in the middle of a quiet river. Between heaven and earth only if we are four individuals.
Exposed riverbed is a layers of stone. Color Qing Hei. A thick layer of snow covered the middle of the channel. Snow color is yellow. The loess is probably blowing the top of the falls. Both sides of the mountain stretches noon, the sun shone on river, the warm.
Four kilometers of the Yellow River Road, and then walk about an hour. A break of two, sitting on the ground, backed by big packs, were overturned. Drink hot water irrigation in the hotel at noon and continue walking.
Hukou Waterfall kinda busy. To number about a hundred tourists from all over the visit. The hotel from the highway, past the river on the ice of all. We went to the river from the ice cautious. Nearly 200 meters wide, the ice surface, only the middle 10 meters of ice. Hukou Waterfall Pentium down.
Surging water potential, Yellow River. Although it is winter, the Yellow River is still here, the surging passion.
Water rainbow. Under the yellow against the background of water, especially beautiful.
Linger by the river for more than an hour, enough for a photo shoot, which dismissed.
And the two Beijing-ass good-bye. Can not find the car back to the Yellow River Bridge.
Really do not want longer follow the 4 km road back. Luck to see it, can take a ride.
Rejected twice. Finally on the vehicles, Hubei tours car, back to the bridge.
Very quiet on the bridge. A car at all. We are left in the middle of the road.
Bridge asked the police to determine the bus today, did not go through here, or Jixian of Linfen. Can only continue to intercept ride.
Hukou out a few more from the west side of "Beijing" brand of cars, I have tried my face Jicheng a flower, car, or roaring past. Let companions, girls do, chances are able to find a point of sympathy.
Still failed. Half an hour. Probably out of the car 7-8 cars to travel, have unfortunately had left.
Some local car to touting, and opening 150 Tai Yuen. Not be reached. Drivers have nothing to fear, standing next to the baseless rumor.
4:00, and even the tourists have gone car disappeared.
Also came a "Soviet" brand Jetta car, and quickly waved. Car even stopped.
Was originally a local driver, linked to the field plate. Fortunately, he is going to Jixian things, see that we will insist, the only thing the price from 100 to 80-50 to drop down.
Crossing the rolling mountains, we learned that the map looked close, but from the waterfall to the Jixian this mountain are really turning bad walked. Hill attached mountain, all the way up to climb for an hour, 50 yuan to run this section of track is really a big penny cheaper.
Mountains on the road, the road still covered with snow and ice. Local drivers drove fast, even to catch up with half an hour before the rejection of our "Kyoto" brand car.
It would also have no sympathy for the "Beijing" vehicles a stomach upset, in the process of crossing the mountains, have vanished. This mountain, for they do not know who it is dangerous enough. If we add the two of us the weight, this car is really hard to open.
More than them, more than 1 hours, we went to Dargyal County.
In the bus stop told that the car today, to Linfen has been gone. 5:00 tomorrow morning a car directly to Taiyuan.
My companion said,咱on the outside look, should be able to see that a few more "Beijing" vehicles. If you say that they saw Zanliang, will not be scared to death ah? Obviously see us in the Yellow River Bridge, hailed, how one would go to work we have come to be hailed in front of them? Is estimated as a ghost not a non-to Zanlia.
Sure enough, three "Beijing" vehicles sped to, and we stand by the roadside hailed reaching. Imagine the car driver's face, we laugh.
January 26 sixth days of the tide of workmen has already begun. 5:00 am on almost missed the car. Fortunately, peer violence, occupation of other people to others, and with the car seat occupied by the boss Tong Su revolutionary history, and we continue to be considered not being bombers.
12 points, Taiyuan. To buy Taiyuan - Qingdao, train tickets, but regrettably only a hard board.
4 pm, the train left the station in Taiyuan, heading for Qingdao.
Because the car is just too large, peer at this time to the brink of collapse, we have two night stop over in Jinan, defected to her classmates.
27, our hotel in Jinan is also the soul of the senior to continue to ride back to Qingdao.
10 days, we Shanxi and Shaanxi line is finally over. On the map is a small a circle, but we mad rush down to dusk for 10 days. Although it is frivolous, but also memories. The snow-covered quiet Wang's Grand Courtyard, mountain deities of the Yungang Grottoes, five of the sky the stars, wubu Yellow ice blue, Hong Danxia stabbing the sky poplar, Yan'an Qingliangshan of the cave and snacks , yellow snow-capped Hukou. . .
Thank you for your patience, I also counted the first time travels finish. Would like to share the way of scenery, unfortunately gifted with an Institute of Technology head, only to send you a running account of this.
