I have not been to Dandong has long wanted to see, today it finally happened aspirations. Boarded the T27 meeting September 22 at midnight express, in the absence sleeper had to ride "hard board" of the. Sishuifeishui spent nearly six hours less than 7:00 in the morning to my first leg of the trip - "Phoenix City." There is no county-level city of Phoenix is just - Feng City. I hurry I called a taxi, less than 15 minutes to come to the city is located in the southeast near the Phoenix Mountain climbing rope. Ten dollars to pay the fare, it takes more than three dollars ticket money, and began climbing the run-length. Since there is no tour guide too early to plan but to go Xinmayoujiang toward a plot of land. Some walked 34 miles to the "Chaoyang Temple" - a temple under construction, of course, there is no spectacle, just passing through to the mountains on the board to look at. It is not often leave an old mountain, mountains and trees shade the road was a deep cover. Most of pines and cypresses and hazelnut trees, and there My name is not on the names of various trees and shrubs. I was pleasantly surprised that has met three adorable pretty little squirrel, they are not far from jumping around me, so I felt relaxed a lot. Road, is almost too hard to go climbing, but fortunately there could be climbing the trees Rotary will not fall. Posted about half an hour came to the terminus of the cableway. Climbing before or whole body feels chilly, it is now sweat sounded, asthma Shi Shi has. Here is the mountain in the upper part of the staff told me the wrong way, and several spots along the mountain did not pass, you can only continue to board up to a peak and then down the mountain along the southwest side. I think the time is still too early before 8 o'clock species, to sit down and smoke a cigarette, drank a little water to continue to a small interest rate a bit to go up Deng. More and more difficult to convince more and more steep hill, and some sections can only be passed sideways. About twenty minutes to board a second peak - "Old Cattle", where about 780 meters above sea level, and great, smooth stone surface has fifty or sixty feet square meters, there are trees at the ancient pines, and a canteen for visitors to rest . Standing here four panoramic view overlooking the landscape, may be overlooking the west side of Phoenix city panorama, stretching east to the hills overlooking the rolling, as well as between the white clouds floating in the mountains, sun glare is not to give people warmth. I continue to pinnacle - the top board to Phoenix, or more precisely is that even the board with a crawl, because there is a good long section of a very steep at about 800 or more, non-buried in the stone by pulling inside the hoop, or iron railing in order to boost really feel a little ladder to climb. I used 20 minutes after boarding the most peak - "Phoenix top." Here than the "old Cattle," and also scenery, it is 860 meters above sea level, I used the telescope to see farther and more 4 overlooking the endless scenery. Dan Shen, being built in the highway like a long queue at the foot of the mountain lying, the ocean like a small silver snake winding river to the southeast crawling around. I enjoyed the beautiful scenery here, unconsciously of time 20 minutes, in order to rush to Dandong, I reluctantly started down the mountain. I have not the right way from the southwest, because I want to swim northeast side of the road are a few spots, had to reverse down the mountain. Retrograde uphill than downhill is even more difficult because they are too steep, but also from time to time with the mountain of people's avoidance (road is too narrow). In the way I swim down a "general peak", "Fairy Cave", "stone waterfall", "Phoenix TV" and other attractions, which each has its advantages, but not as the main peak of the scenery. Encountered near the foot of several temples, I was just watching the outside about it, because I was inside the statue of the Buddha and so not interested. 10:00 back to the gate, just come across a small bus bound for Dandong.
Phoenix Mountain is located 63 kilometers north-east at Dan. From the observation windows on both sides of landscapes, villages do not have some funny. Here the trees are more than Jinzhou, Jinzhou vegetation more so than the United States seem to be some. After 70 minutes car arrived at 11:20 Dandong railway station. I do not care resting on the ride on the bus bound for Dagushan at 11:50 to leave the city of Dandong. Car along State Road 201 heading southwest. Lunch is eaten in the car from home to bring food, water, eaten enough after the confused again. Pass Donggang (formerly known as Donggou County) when I just saw slower to catch, and did not go to appreciate it. 14:15 assigned to Dagushan, I cook a "board" (that is, human tricycles), less than ten minutes to the gate. "Dagushan ancient architectural complex," the great stone arch that spring to my eyes, over the arch is paved with uneven stones of the mountain. Walk along the mountain is an ancient architectural complex not far from where the Buddhist temple is not large, useless 20 minutes on the Guangbian. Way out of the temple to continue climbing upward, and another twenty minutes came close to the peak of another group of ancient buildings. This is a Taoist temple, much smaller than the foot, I simply stroll a stroll on the stand in front of the temple overlooking the south with a telescope Zhongting years. Here is not high above sea level is only 320 m away from the Yellow Sea shore, 3 kilometers, because there is no surrounding mountains, buildings, and rarely (because only a sub-town), so eyes are open. The sea not far from the big island of Lushan Mountain is clearly visible and the deer, there are a few fishing boats on the sea floating, as well as catch the sea of people I do not know what is on the shore. I put down the binoculars staring into the distance, reminded of the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894 naval battle. That market also shame the Chinese people's war is from here, and did not take long moved to the main battlefield is the Yellow Sea west of Liugong Island waters, where the Qing Dynasty is annihilated the Northern Navy, and ... .... I was down there is not much work, and I think that there is not much to look at, and the sea there is no broad Beacon Hill, the ancient buildings there is no large temple of the magnificent Yixian Formation, appears to be somewhat "illusory."
At half-past three and two other tourists, I rented a vehicle partners, "Santana" cars began to rush to Dandong. Fairly cheap fare 20 yuan for every talent money, ran nearly 85 kilometers away, fast five o'clock arrived at the Yalu River Park. One into the park saw a lively scene, there are several pairs of lovers sitting wedding "ancient-style Great Bridal Sedan Chair", called video image division in shooting wedding photo. Sedan Chair, and playing gongs, trumpet, and umbrella, and give brand of (very like the Royal family to get out and the set of lines head), all of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's costume, Chuichuidada, voice cries mixed one, it is Visitors stop onlookers. The park is small, far away look inside is Yalu River. I stand here with a telescope overlooking the river, overlooking the Yalu River Bridge, overlooking the river the other side of North Korea's Sinuiju city. Surface of the river about more than 1000 meters wide, and I can swim the past, the river surface with North Korea for cruise ships, yachts, fishing boats, sailing or floating in the river; Bridge is made of steel railway bridge, had not seen fifty years ago U.S. aircraft bombed the wounds, I saw a North Korean soldiers patrolling the bridge; the other side appears dark, do not see tall buildings, there is no colored eye-catching billboards and neon lights, it's rare to see pedestrians, occasionally a few soldiers and military jeeps, and our side was very less in comparison. I think that there is no longer a good-looking, and belly are hungry, began to back, this time is approaching 18 o'clock a. Useless 10 minutes on foot to the train station, I looked for a nearby hotel, to a cod stew tofu, a cup of white wine (32), 12 water filling steamed buns start meal together. Fond after 19 o'clock by the T28 times on the return journey the train, very lucky to get a sleeper, I lay me down to relatives after I called phone, do not work on the daze asleep, perhaps too tired a.
