May 2 to Lijiang today, on foot Yang Di to Xingping.
Heavy rain the morning of our stay in bed, helpless. To fast 10:00, the rain, we decided to still go to Lijiang.
In the Yang Di ferry to get off the rain has stopped, and the shore gathered a lot of tourists wait in line for the ferry. Good while several vessels were parked, but only one crossing of people in between, each 20, while the team a long row of old. The scenery is really good Xing, complete a light ink landscape scroll. Guanchuan an even a way before, which goes, and on top are filled with people.
Over to the other side, passenger traffic on the pull, and we began to stop-go, and truly enjoyable play on. How do I describe it clean water and Castle Peak, charming enough to write their state, cool and bright enough to write their God, are lucky to have my cameras with. Slightly overcast days, and occasionally sprinkle a few rain, just suitable for walking. Happy emotion in each five-sat we spent a short time into a small bamboo raft climax, and then steep drop. Villagers set up roadblocks card charges, congestion, a lot of people in noise theory. We are for less naughty, selected by bamboo raft off cards. Expensive, but because only two of us, you can take pictures, free to walk around in rafts, boatmen and good-hearted explanations, it is still happy.
Follow the Meat, we have come a Fan Zhuang, decided to Treat belly, and points of Lijiang shrimp and taro burning ribs, sitting in an open-air look landscape eating, fresh shrimp, the amount of feet, then the price went so far as we have no imagination expensive.
Continue to advance, all the way shoot non-stop, when there is a boatman to ask us whether or not to a boat. We go a little bit tired, riding on a raft. Water cooler than the shore, many, and better field of vision, the water is open, then I just feel like I was between the mountains and rivers glide, beautiful, light silent, as we are part of this piece of water. Rain was underway, getting anxious, we are carrying an umbrella stand on the bow, the shore of the old trees, the water red with a color of the stones, occasionally, a wave is simply unwilling to xingping of.
Walk on its streets Xingping. Tall old brick house, narrow street, was exceptionally clean, the rain washed the twilight, really liked.
Back to Yangshuo, this time to eat rabbits and stuffed snail Ganguo soil, delicious ah. Shopping, buy a grapefruit. West really do not attract me, and sell things and one tourist street do not have much of any difference, packed like me to pay their last respects the so-called petty bourgeoisie paradise of tourists who packed, but it seems to me that in such a crowded noisy street pretend to be serious in ju a knife and fork to eat Western food (except for foreigners, because people will not use chopsticks Well) really does not make sense, too much humor, he is too much of.
May 3 Yangshuo passion lead the way, the way to make money to really commendable. We rented a double bike to the workers and peasants, bridge, moon, mountains, along the way just a little to stop a moment, people come looking for customers, and the eloquent and persuasive, indomitable all comes down to: or to bribe them (such as buy cheap tickets, etc.) , or convincing people with harm (for example, difficult to walk and Multi-forked road, etc.), our only way is to quickly get on the train leave.
But in the end is the scenery of Yangshuo, ah, the way it really was the Shilihualang, to the workers and peasants bridge, west of Campbell River and the Yulong River rains to come meet, to the east of synthetic Lijiang stirred away. Vessels and rafts in the happily busy, the sun is also the Yan Yan to swagger, style 10000 bell. Quickly to the moon, mountains, rocks in the curved space-indeed a big one out of the moon.
Go back to walking paths, across from the dwarf mountain village. A group of kids that we reject them lead the way, the prediction will be lost, I am elated to express our gifted and experienced will be able to self-reliance. A result, riding a long time, riding over a variety of difficult terrain, hot and tired, we find ourselves back at the beginning of the slope encountered by the group of children. Prophecy is indeed quasi-ah. We found, an excuse Road, met a lady, she was eager to take us want to get away, but is unwilling to tell us that way. Partial nothing and although we have gone to a dead end, they met two foreigners, have lost their way, their path to the moon from the Yangshuo Mountain, and we are come from the Mountains of the Moon, so their proper place, both out of this beautiful fan Soul of the village.
Sun exposure, I think the arm pain show tonight, a look has been red, but fortunately I wear those pants Sleeve and medium; while LG is the whole arm, even the legs and knees are burnt; we two faces are all red, ridiculous. Closer to Yangshuo, the more overcast days, passing fruit shop to buy watermelon, suddenly from strong winds, Jier the drop down in a storm right about face. We are in a very awkward posture of the end of today's run-and returned to the hotel red hot shower.
Evening out to dinner, the temperature had plummeted. LG miss the beer to the ducks and Sanjiang tofu. And then drank a can of yellow corner piping hot delicious fish porridge, steamed dumpling came a cage. Walk around and bought a string bag orange, in the LG again the strong request of a cage steamed dumpling. Boss and our mutual giggle.
May 4 yesterday, is indeed a sunburn.
Today is very cool and continue to ride, to Fuli Bridge.
Ma Ji walk along the Yulong River, over-cents Duqiao to Jiuxian, all the way walking in the verdant plain of farmland and villages to see the water not far away and distant peaks, and then through the Baisha Town, to the Jinlong bridge. Can be seen on the bridge east of Yulong Qiao Gong Zhao curved figure, but can not find nowhere in Fuli Bridge. Drift in the pocket a lot of boatmen on the bridge business, as usual, ask to take us to Fuli Road Bridge and refusing to tell us. We continue to promote self-reliance spirit, ride on the village and inquired from the view of the bridge across the fields stems. LG sharp-eyed to see a half-hidden in the arch after the big banyan tree steps, to the!
Fuli Bridge are beautiful. Ancient natural stone steps, bridges, taller arch, a boss of the banyan tree, clear of the water quietly through the grass and farmland. We ask a few village girl to help us take pictures, but also for them took two photos, promised to send to them after a good washing. Then we went to Yulong Qiao.
Yulong Qiao edge-Zhen Renao, are looking for customers and drifting. Wind and cold weather, today's ride bamboo rafts may from time to suffer. We pick a point of a clean break slope. Landscape is still good. Delicate and pretty than the Lijiang River, because the two sides of the signs of human habitation is a kind of rural scenery. Eastbound along the Yulong River to the direction of high franca Mountains of the Moon, we rode a half kinds of head, Look at others around the green water.
Take the road back to Yangshuo. We go to Yangshuo bridge. It is sunset, the sun slowly sink into mountain, the river flowing east from the tube.
