January 20 Today is the Lunar New Year 29. Morning from Datong to the original level of the train was empty. 咣finishes in four hours to the original level. Yuan-ping is a small station. 17:00 there are here to go to the train station Wye town. Bought tickets. 7 money. In order to save strength, in the train station before the House asked for a room, 20 yuan. To lay down their big packs, trying to make.
Kuaiguo Nian, and not see a few people on the streets. Hotels were all closed the door. Walked in the cold wind of 2,3 miles hungry, paste the back of the chest, but also could not find an open the door. Called the cars back side of the station. Here down home open.
Restaurant is small, greasy on the two small tables. Cooking their own boss with the outside pipe is also a small grocery. Point of a specialty in Shanxi Province had oil meat, a pound dumplings, a fried tofu what. Companion stood outside the kitchen, watching cooking boss. Also euphemistically about "I most want to learn cooking in and so on", I think is to look at this shop is dirty, afraid of what else was sacked as boss into.
Back to sleep after eating Inn will continue on the train to go five.
The car is the original level of origin of the climbing. In fact the equivalent of bus. Each township should be small station stop, people under the Exalted, we all know. The jubilation of the car a year ago. The conductor to check tickets, others do not ask, just ask Wolia, I do still depressed, and later saw him talked and laughed until we all know, this train is to give local people prepared for the shuttle up and down. We are two unfamiliar faces on the train, of course, was to have been suspicious.
Car is really slow, 1,2 100 kilometers of the road race in 4,5 hours. Finally to the five stations. Moment cleared to return home, we also get rid of the several Circuit holding to the guest houses in the side, leaving the two of us carrying a large bag, we have an anemic stranger, sitting in the empty room of the Hou car.
Asked the site where the staff there did not go to the town bus station pregnant. Results were not good. Because there is no recent visitors into the mountains shuttle has been suspended. Because of heavy snow the day before yesterday, mountain had been closed, even if chartered, and no driver would dare go up.
Worth of Wu Nai had to give zz from sina Zhang presented an inn-keeper to call to see if he has any means to meet us into the mountains. These zz from sina presented the puppet is generally unused. Read a few about his introduction, but also knew his way to make money.
He asked me to wait so, he has chosen the driver can contact me.
Came a solicitation of the surface. At this point an empty station, Instead, he became my savior. Asked if he could into the mountains. The answer: Yes. But because the old road has been cut off by snow, can bypass Simon. 40 km of road had erupted in He walked 160 km. So, from the peak price of 20 yuan / person chartered into the mountains rose to 300!
Cut for a long time, cut intact. The only possible for us to stay down, take a look at 3 am over there to the Beijing train into the mountains of visitors, we can share the 300. Ran into the site asked the staff to ask, the answer is the same.
Have no alternative but to find ways to first settled here.
Open Inn has been a companion of the old man to draw, and the old man is a retired old masters, the edge of the station opened a small Inn. Have no alternative but to go with.
Room there was no heat. Outdoor temperature of at least minus 15 degrees below. Fortunately, with a sleeping bag, drilling inside, then press the top layer of the quilt was barely stayed to sleep.
3:00 more than the driver to call. Said that this train a visitor to Beijing at all. There is only one of the locals to return home, is only willing out of 20, asked that we do not go away.
Side of the curse of this snow as he reluctantly agreed. However, fought for a discount, which should include 280 of money around the beginning of our costs down and help us free riders.
At 4:00 on the 21st, cars starting in the dark. Lack of surface heating, cold toes like a cat scratch, like pain. Mountain in the renovation, we have bumps and cold in another daze of sleep.
7:30, day light slowly release. We have reached a high peak. Passing a large sign: Qingliangsi. Remembered Wei Xiaobao and Shaolin 18 Arhat. But the cold, and lazy to get off Zhanyangzhanyang the wife married a man seven flowery idol who had fought the battle place.
The sun came out, Asaka scattered in the snow-covered peaks. Fiery red golden peaks, did not expect to see sunshine again in five Jinshan.
Thinking Kuaiguo Nian, and then seal off the snow, chances are selling tickets in early to go home. Riding locals also promised to help us into the mountains, to the time we went to not say anything, say that they are his relatives home.
Ticket closed. However, roadblocks into the mountain have been sealed. Had to go knock on the door. The driver and the locals continue to say for a long time. Conductor, or out of view despite the cold. My companion unable to speak, that local passengers that I was her brother, would not say if it not for local Luxian. The conductor was very serious and responsible and forced me to open one's mouth to speak, and then immediately let us get off ticket.
Students had also pulled out a card, bought a half-price ticket. Five of the half-price ticket is 38, two were 76.
Smoke in the morning mist, we entered the town of Huai Taiwan.
The driver probably will not do to take us to escape into the ticket a bit apologetic, took us to a good inn. Dai Luoding on foot, there are heating hot water bath TV, 40. Today, TV is a must, it depends on the Spring Festival Gala. Stay there bar.
And drivers checkout. First offered him 200, the remaining 80, said he came to pick us a good time to pay again coming out. Away from home, defenses can not do without ah.
Breakfast, 5 yuan a person, on the inn to resolve. Had lived here for many years the pilgrimage guests. 2 tables speak Cantonese, the table from Inner Mongolia, a table from Beijing. Their room rate is said to be 100 Da-Yuan. Heart of the point a little comfortable. They should all go directly to five from Taiyuan, and this snow so that the number of costly mistakes that we go ah.
After breakfast, peer tired, do not want to go out. Thus, a person carrying a camera to see the temple.
A temple next to a temple. Do not have to buy a ticket in the New Year period. I look at picking up some unimportant. Temple and so on in the afternoon and companions with me. 7 Buddhist Temple was originally a nunnery, I have just one go, there are more than 60-year-old Lao Ni warm reception. Kowtow burning incense, when she was next to mutter prayers. Had to throw five of incense money, and hurry away.
Temple, probably as early as classes do. Bursts of chanting voice heard. I want to see Pusa Ding. The temple of the Yellow Sect has always been interested. Ling chubong upward along the mountain road, after Enshoji widely Munedera, I go turn full circle. Hiromune temple now has a bunch of Buddhist monks playing Bo chime in knocking around the Temple of Rush. Walking and chanting. I also picked up the pace to follow watch the fun. They reached the Daxiong treasure shop, sub on both sides to stand. Dressed in red cassocks, the middle is probably a monk over his mouth mutter prayers, hand movements transformation. I stood in the doorway first sigh sigh brain.
They also did not care for me. Said to be in the chanting, I would rather say that singing is more precise. Tone change, the sound of the Ministry of tacit understanding, coupled with a variety of instruments used in accompaniment, I am indeed a is the first time I heard such a pleasant male chorus.
Finished, and they began to line up Rush. I am a man entered the palace, for the table is for the Buddha's four kind of vegetables and white rice for one night. Vegetables are cauliflower, peanuts, seaweed, potato silk. 咱also took the opportunity to knock both of the first bar, chances are good enough just to catch up with the Buddha down, I promised to hear wishes come true.
Ling chubong re-looking at the head of the Pusa Ding.
Took 108 steps, one wearing Dahongpao monks from the temple out. Sitting on top of the steps. I climbed in the morning to eat 5 or less the same money would likely be consumed, and probably a little bit mild altitude sickness, feeling out of breath.
And the monks raised their hands to say hello, he is the sun of happy. Give me a brilliant honest smile. So sit down, and monks pull engaged in small talk.
He called the sharp measures, from Qinghai to. To the five have been half a year of. If he wants to knock Tayuan Temple pagoda 100,000 under the long head before leaving. Now six months have been knock of 50000, there are half a year he will be back in Qinghai. Chat very happy to talk about half a year he was kowtowing to Lhasa, in five of the five sets over the top all the way long head knock. People have the kinds of natural Lama happy. When he complained that, when cultivation of these physical suffering, as it were, spoke a very enjoyable thing. The second half of this year, he will have a further knock to the Tar 100,000 long head. Oh, think of a guy to say, they kowtow, that is, doing gymnastics Tibetan broadcasts. Oh, maybe they put that practice Buddhism is to do as a game.
Chatted for a long time, I turn into the temple. Out, the tip measures are still there.
He has to go Tayuan turret of the monastery. I told him down.
