【Brooms OK Heart chapter Qiandongnan】 Longsheng Dazhai: donkeys are OK song (1)
From the River, We decided to go straight to Longsheng, accompanied by one girl back in Liuzhou, Guangzhou, while the other four friends according to Carey Zuoche Hui same route back to Chongqing, in the carnival night, we broke up Calvary, the remaining nine person boarded the bus to Longsheng. Country Road, 321 Congjiang - Sanjiang segment of the smoke and dust, enough to allow us to be a thoroughly excavated, we do not have put on protection, backpack travel cover, the result naturally miserable. Red Dust in even if the degeneration and does not need such a health tortured, right? Well, fine line between heaven and earth while only poor, but also shape, really two. It zips along the way from the car with dust flying, and even the roadside trees were not spared religious ties, have been covered by a layer of "snow", then if we had to get off the camera, then, perhaps really be able to deceive us Back to the saw snow, and dust of the big, Putian cap day, not to mention a small blade? Alas! The day that we want to come unkempt also really live up the name of relics.
Intermittently slept more than six hours, or not to Longsheng, we all sat back pains, watching the clock at the turn, it would only sigh nonetheless. Finally see Longsheng's names, heart exultation, suddenly found there in the mountains a Bailian vacant and hanging, water shock stone, spills Saika, but also feel that creation of the magical, the heart of the gas within the depressed nothing, went so far as single-minded look at the scenery a. Turned an also seen floating on the surface of the river house, floating house looks no different from other housing, but not as good as the other rooted in the ground, floating on the surface of the river above, it is surprised at its subtlety, but unfortunately, shuttle ruthless and did not let us take a closer exploration, in turn hastily gone.
To Longsheng, we have After a series of bargaining, the decision to go Dazhai to see larger terraces, the famous "seven stars the moon," it's on the 2nd viewing platform at the Dazhai be overlooking. Terraces have been some photos of the excellent photography awards have the opportunity to see the true capacity, but also to carry out a premeditated free riders, we are excited to stimulate too.
Car travel to Longsheng, we hard to eat lunch, then waiting for the wizard to lead us to fare evasion. As we look to help guide the driver refused to come, we are all ignorant at once, and fortunately the road there is a woman who is willing to lead the way, Hung-yao, we have finally decided to go with her, and then to the car know阿娇open terrace hotel accommodation .
Actually, way fare-beating is obvious, because a little steep slopes Lingding there is a road, next to no one passed the scene. Sure enough, the mountains of this blind alley and fare evasion more people on the road is also left out. Dazhai The scenic area is surrounded of several hills, and thus to enter the Dazhai, you must turn the a natural barrier to enter the inside. Trail So actually that piece is actually people climb the mountain road out of the stampede, we must climb the hill side of the road in order to turn to mountain side of the road. That is a very thrilling experience, for me, and not afraid to go flat or go mountain climbing, but are most afraid of, in particular, fear of weight-bearing mountains.
I carry a travel backpack, in front there is a small bag to free up both hands, grasp the hillside of the plants, as to rely on and support, struggling to climb with a sudden here are a few people asking us loudly at what we heart an emergency, have to press up with the tight, I pulled up next to the plant struggling, who knows at the foot of a slide, but fortunately not before pulling a tree slide down. Like a big rucksack behind the stones pulled me, and often to an energetically pull themselves up, it likes to pull me down, but in front of a small bag but wore my feet, let me lumbering . Such a long time had not climbed mountains, physical strength seems to not quite enough, when I climbed to a relatively gentle place, when actually pale, peer folded a branch gave me a cane, and I finally had to use on this thing . You see me face was bad, I am afraid the process of climbing out of an accident because it is after all a mountain without any of the roads and rails, have persuaded me to backpacks to help the woman that Yao back, but unfortunately the Under this I had had. Alas, what would have would like to challenge their own physical and limits.
We continue to climb, in the help of hands and feet, and finally climbed that mountain top, is also the most dangerous section, walked a relatively flat place, sweep aside half the height of the roadside grass, continued to trample the predecessors the way to deepen the footsteps of his own, that we turned a bend and saw a terrace! Very big one terrace, good spectacular! To stack things, like waves rippling, has been rippling to the bottom. While we are excited, when accompanied with the little girl warned us not to be too big voice, and now Shui This bend must be quiet and agile, because there is no tree shelter, the following is a parking lot, management office of the rise can be a of us see fare evasion. We quiet down, ran the fastest climb up the small mound half the height, and then ran that fast in a turn, until no longer dare to stop breathing space parking lot.
In this way escaped the barrier of our success, turn to the Dazhai from another hill. Fare evasion is always stimulated, excited, looking back at the place where climbing, as well as the hard way, really I was surprised. Clothes, still lingering traces of the roadside across branches, and even stained the leaves without realizing it, the mountain wind is blowing rain, places, people very comfortable, after a breathtaking climb involved, we all sweat dripping of , standing height watched the following terraces, as well as distant layers of mist that only a real "Dang chest Health clouds" feeling. Off the coat and tied to his waist, back, backpack and carrying cameras, a pedestrian walking on the stone Dazhai winding road, looked from behind, as the march of the donkey, all the way gone away, leaving behind footprints song seems a row.
I walked behind, watching the front of the mountain path companions came forward line, think of the donkey before the trip to see pictures of donkeys suddenly truly feel the meaning of real travelers, dare to face the journey all the difficulties , glad to bear the journey of the hardships of such ascetics like everyone to travelers as "donkey" is because they are the same diligence as the donkey and the NYPD. For us the primary donkeys, in order to really become a strong donkey is still a long way, think about it, and the way to go compared to Dazhai, but also much longer a lot.
The way a lot of people see us, either tourists or villagers, are not forget to ask one of you back so many things are not tired? No matter how we are tired, are always persistent, shaking his head, telling them that we is not hard. A lot people have a genuine donkey can not understand a love of travel, and perhaps gone, as we have chartered Wang chef said, as tourism is a very chic luxury things. The way that we are so infatuated with the beauty and the journey that will constantly record, what is to what purpose? Some people even able to give up for this purpose the family, wandering alone, they are not in never tired to do an impossible thing?
I have no idea. The companion continually looking ahead to memories of the scenery along the way inside the camera, even a small flower, a tiny insect, they are very happy to collect. And their perseverance to capture with his lens compared to, I am also constantly use words to describe the images I saw, as far as possible to see all the detailed in my article, but I really need what kind of image, I can to do with a virtual image expression of a certain temperament Mody? All these are unpredictable. Only certainty is that we are true to life and life is love, would like to record all of life, even though it is to spend money to know what suffering, but with ease. I do not know whether it can be called ideal, is called love, always felt that the wording was too rustic, and also the journey there is no need to assume such a heavy topic, but it has been others, have been touched by his own bent forward.
Or should be say, people always want to do some personal things.

【Broom line Heart】 Longsheng dazhai Southeast Guizhou chapter: donkeys are OK song (b) of
In Longsheng, everywhere could see a small piece of a large terrace, terrace is the most proud of Longsheng the most spectacular scenery, and the most precious legacy.
Longsheng magnificent terrace set integrated with the beautiful, one must be called the world. As the large terrace together, open terrain, magnificent. Terraced fields such as the chains like belt coiled from the foot to the summit, winding among the mountains; hills, such as snails, mountains like tower, layer upon layer upon layer, high and low scattered. It is as waves, rippling layer lines Xingyunliushui natural and unrestrained soft-Chang; scale majestic spectacular, magnificent, known as "the highest terraces of the world," people have shocked the perfect combination of natural and artificial.
Stop and Go us, do not know how much film photos, see cascading terraces, exhaled toward the sky, you feel that a cheerful heart, it seems that all the anger of the gas, all unhappiness and trouble are thrown upon a hill. Terraces were occasionally see a few chic house, especially in the mountains, mist the shadow of that yellow house, silhouetted against the golden terraces, exceptionally love introduced. Us walked on to the observation deck on the 2nd, next to Yao pointed to a woman, told us that this is the "seven stars the moon," the.
Longsheng has One, the viewing platform on the 2nd, watch the sunrise to go on the 2nd viewing platform on the 2nd viewing platform over the Taiwan Strait on the 1st viewing dial is low, but the landscape more open-yang, you can clearly see the "seven stars with month "beauty. "Seven stars with month" is less difference between high and low peaks of the seven have been opened into the terraces, terrace level by level from the foot of the hill narrowed to the peak is a flat Mo Yan-shaped fields, seven field exposure in the moon Next, he became the "seven stars the moon," the beauty of the. There has been a photographer shooting terraced fields as the best venue. Under such a change, Light and Shadow, if irrigation by the end of April early May, when the photographer is a dream.
We hastened to carefully counting the terrace below, now is the harvest season, the fields are all full of golden millet sprays, although in some places has been harvested, but the majority are still golden and splendid one, and we went to annex an edge of the field and the heavy Rice photo, Oct autumn harvest season, us? We also gain do?
Finished photo and suddenly saw several head of cattle, orderly, swimming freely passed, I stood watching them passing on the ridge can not help but think of Yangshuo bull is encountered, the kind of casual attitude, really of what I envy.
All the way go all the way to see terraced fields, then the woman told us that Guaige Wan Yao went to the Kiao and their terraced hotel, and we are attracting terrace in front of all forget the time, forget the road, seems to have gone a long time , but excited stubborn resistance with fatigue, sleepiness has yet to surround us so.
We go Dazhai is located in the valley among the under layers of terraces around the street to see a neat and tidy blocks of a high turret, in twos and threes scattered field of the Yao people, a golden paddy fields, sun-reflecting sidelong into the the valleys, all eyes are so detailed and quiet, a time, like a remote control in exposure to Xanadu. A mountain, the two women sat Yao embroidery, needlework embroidery tight-knit and delicate work, together with their full range of national costumes, kicking up a public visitors have stopped watching the footsteps of a hurry.
To a bend on the sub. We laughed himself, and how many turn the corner, even we are sure about this. Street flowers, ducks, mountain spring, or so funny, from the slaughter swing to Dazhai, it seems that we have not seen enough. Went one place where people are relatively concentrated, had left under the section of the stairs, he heard loud greeting in front of peers, this is really up. 阿娇couch sat a bamboo, her than we have since a lot to go.
Kiao and their terraces we entered the hotel. That is an all wood structure of the hotel called the Inn may be more appropriate to it, the whole wooden inn brought Cecil rhyme, so I am just back to the era of the world that a measuring tape. Pushed a carved wooden doors a bunch of the corner of sunset shot came from a window, the first floor of the lobby stood a few neat square table and some chairs in the middle of the staircase on the second floor is a room, down a layer of a bathroom and toilet. We Dengdeng Deng way onto the second floor of the room stood a short hallway table, several small bench, it is the feeling Inn. We went into the room which is very easy, only a few beds, a chest, the other nothing, and walking in the board, as if walking in the years to come on. I pushed open room windows, like opening a landscape as a whole Dazhai terrace overlooking windows can see the endlessly rising peaks of the mountains and waves the terraces, but also to see the formation of the quartzite along the terraced fields The tourists on the winding road to see the new journey clean family hotel curl smoke, quiet countryside, in the sunset under the terraced fields, such as a mirror, a distant village dotted with mountains, surrounded by just a few kilometers from each other, Washeng one.
Scattered inn like it here, it is a place I can call Inn. Yangshuo has many inns, but they are too modern and makes no monk's demeanor, it seems inherently an enjoyable place, Yangshuo inn, behind the more comfortable and lazy. But Dazhai Inn are so addictive. Although the simple, but rich in taste, less modern convenience, but much more leisurely and tranquil farmland. Tao could not help but casually hum the words verse: "the human Jielu territory, without even traveling deceitful. Ask jun HE to Seoul? Heart remote from the side."
This inn we stayed set, and went downstairs to bargain with the阿娇can be stained with a chair, we found to be really tired, lay down their backpacks, to throw things aside, we do not want to up. 阿娇are also considered fair, giving us two rooms, and then prepared dinner for us, and we regard the luggage on the inside, the proposal is to walk around outside. Out of the door, then we were attracted carved wooden patterns, from a slightly dim aisle taken the door, really rather from a feeling of space and time conversion. Our gate playing with the long, still holding a Yao woman there taking pictures, I would not wait the whole Inn back in Guangzhou, unfortunately, Guangzhou's character is doomed is not possible to store such a tranquil paradise.
We are walking on a small mountain road, is not a humane way Douzhe enjoy the clouds and rain of the Huan's dog lovers, enjoy a "white pan fish" and red pepper together, the impact of color, there was the silence of black tiles brick posture . Gradual bleak days go on, and we turn back terraced hotel. Blowing a door to smell the aroma, mouth suddenly felt water filled with uncertainties, that give us thought阿娇get a good at a chicken, we could not wait to find a good seat and sat down. Next to where some people are eating rice, living person in our next trip.
Soon put food came,阿娇, and aroma tempting after a day of back and forth, nor how eat at noon, we do hungry, chopsticks a move, dish, dishes has been reduced by half, next to the old lady saw us eating the phase Hehedexiao asked us whether or not to own brewed rice wine. Wanted to come to the mountain this cold night, drink a little rice wine can also be added to warm, each of us to a small cup of steaming soon took up the wine, wine does not intoxicate, first met for our clink Bar! 6-day trip, we have gone through together, Guizhou, landscapes, long-range raid came to Longsheng, swarmed mind bit by bit on the journey tomorrow, back to Guilin, we should split up, although there is not much Biexu, but still should be We meet and happy.
After fond that we bring each wash the dust along the way today, especially from the road in Sanjiang River to Red Dust, smile not let it disturb the quiet here, and Chu Chen.
Soon very late at night, and we lie down into the blanket to fall into a soft dream, and Duke meet the mountain tops, tapping the wood on the outside, and we huddle inside in the warm in, forget where you are.

Alarm was called out on time, in fact I have been awake when the Crystal up, and lay lazily over 10 minutes later, I got up, holding the camera a person ran out and enjoy the early morning of Brisk Dazhai .
Book the morning fog, and terraces from the foot coiled to the summit, with layers of rolling hills, majestic amazing, in a graceful curve of the foot extension, such as roads lead to Bailian around the mountains and looked like a belt tied around her mountains, allowed them to drift here, Chuang Yao people and people living in the big mountains for generations, long ago and the mountains blend with each other, inseparable from the mountains of.
From information on the known world, many areas are terraced fields along the steep slopes upward layers of distribution, like almost impossible while others have built stage. For the cultivation of crops and terraces cut into the slope of the plains. It is human transformation of the surface morphology of the most stunning one of the ways. Appeared in the prehistoric period of the first terraces. Initially people to clear forests or hills items in order to grow some crops, or as fortifications. Roughly the same period, these terraces began to appear around the world. The terrace here has played on the Yuan Dynasty and Qing Dynasty limited, so vast project Yao family members really do not know how many generations of heroic ancestors, humans struggle for survival and nature, this terrace is a proof, in the limited areas to develop infinite vitality of human trained by their ability to survive. However, another point of view is that human beings fight for their own survival also destroy the balance of the environment and the denial of the existence of other powers. Think of Jay Chou's "terraces": "site-specific utilization right or wrong to use, selfish human wolves do not panic, destruction of natural ecology will tired. You say that art should be in order to cut down a tree right or wrong ... is not ... record of the natural with the camera showed only the next generation of the next generation of aftertaste. Poor sad documentary on the forest green is all in just to enjoy the lush smell foul ... ... under the microscope, we will be more realistic self-serving the art is really difficult comprehend. "
Though the lyrics do not agree that some of the points, but for mankind and nature of the struggle of the sentiment, but never started a long time ago when this issue has not wanted to, is the same as the West conquered, or the same as the East coexistence ? No one can give a satisfying answer, probably still the best moderate. I laughed, and laughing himself silly, like a number, or return to a moderate start. Think really tiring ... ...
The sun, and distant mountain creek, the sun's radiation, the fog began to evaporate steam, fog and slowly climb to the mountain, gradually four-way spread out, smoke enveloped the special beauty of terraced fields. The peace of mind, really a very peaceful people, watching the terrace, without any modification of terms of the terrace, I can not deny that it is itself a miracle and a great project, to fight for survival is also the right of every person, right? World affairs may very often not the sole answer, so wanted to come, all worrying too much, or terrace bar to enjoy the present.
The quiet mountain makes the city more and more reluctant to go back taste of island life. Total more than anything could feel that the environment affect people's mood, and therefore not available in the city a real quiet mind, here's a flower plants, seem limitless with spirituality, even if it has only the same people are also peaceful. Chan Yu goes: "a sand one of the world, one flower a paradise." Perhaps it is because of this journey we have the desire to let the tiny world of it, why can we be so fascinated by.
True envy where people can have too many things. I have once read one article which said that the world's most well-being of those who are not the rich and powerful men, but unknowingly to get the quiet people, the world's most tired, the saddest are those who deliberately looking for happiness and quiet person. Or the calm thing is a very natural when you are mind can not concentrate to do when the same can be, as I am now bent on enjoying the same journey.
Then little thought I am returning to hotel, you are up, my love is still the door, leaned against the door so that Crystal took me a good few photos. After eating burning hot Guilin rice noodle, we bid farewell to阿娇and terraced hotel, putting a heavy baggage, out of Dazhai, return Longsheng.
Down the stone path down the mountain, a 1 Taguo mountain ladder through Dazhai of others, the chicken is still puppies jump around chaos from time to time scared I was really surprised, the roadside scenery from time to time be recorded. A walk, when suddenly came from behind and heard a ring, rotor look, a juvenile riding a white horse to walk leisurely down, the horse pinned Tie Zhang, kicking collapse kick was knocked stone collapse issue a sweet-sounding and rhythmic sound, juvenile holding horse reins, the posture and composed an occasional paw the horse's hair, then the horse will be light to wagged his tail. Walk beside me, when that horse's eyes filled with good, young to see and we nod and smile, all so natural, but there is not a word, but people never forget.
Walk for more than an hours, we have seen fare evasion yesterday to see the parking lot, out of the Dazhai unknowingly, bought a couple of Yao women's embroidered pouch, Tang got on, they ran back to the Longsheng.

【Brooms OK chapter Heart Qiandongnan】 Guilin: The Last Carnival car to the Guilin bus station around noon, my backpack carrying out of proportion with the body, two hands holding by buying from a high drift, baskets, and walking in the crowd them. Floating baskets has become the focus of people's vision, the way out, many people pointing to them, there are people's hearts softened also came up asking where it was bought waterproof boots? I am laughing, it seems what I really bought the core of the quite special, for me that people can not not be particularly aroused my interest.
Continue straight, looked next to the "Guilin" word, I would uphold the laugh. Guilin, as I have come three times a. Only in June went to one back, do not expect more than three months later I once again set foot on the land in Guilin. To walk out of bus stop in Guilin, huge crowds of people. How these days, no one waves we would have seen at once can not adapt to feel too taste of island life. But to think, perhaps the current wave Beijing Road were higher than this level, the heart also relieved of the next. 9 people in Guilin in turn we have parted ways, of which 4 were Zaiqu Yangshuo playing one days, while the remaining five people we decided that night to Guangzhou.
After several rounds of discussions finally by one determined to buy a bus ticket back to Guangzhou night. Itinerary established, the next is how to spend the remaining time. Guilin Lijiang River, the name is always linked together, of course we also went to the Elephant Park. I never forget how in 2002 Spring Festival Elephant Park plight trip here, really a bit uneasy. Into the Xiangshan Park, actually I do not live by Nai, anger starting from the heart. In 2002, when, in the Lijiang River, walking around, able to see panoramic views of Xiangshan, really like an elephant standing on the river bank in the morning in the riverside walk, see the mist shrouded Xiangshan, quite sen as the advent of kindness, fog Qingjiang cage is beautiful. Of this to happen? Actually using billboards to all riverside cover up, any one point of view, can not capture the whole picture to the Elephant!
The landscape is naturally thanks attractions used to attract visitors of this is also nothing wrong, why do so absolutely? Insisted arrogate beauty, this in exchange for cash cow? Such a move is really stingy with the government of Guilin, "complementary", or to add more points Lijiang stingy fills always people still willing to fight, it was willing to suffer for.
Several of us it is very boring, also deliberated to go rafting Lijiang, anyway, I have the previous two paragraphs did not really swim across the Lijiang River in Guilin, this also happens to be back. So we had five candidates for a raft, the river roam. River cold wind, went so far as has also been quite a cold, I taut coat, holding the camera desperately waste the rest of the film. Autumn dark earlier, only 16 o'clock and the sun is as yellow as duck hanging in the sky has not enough light, and sprinkled on the surface of the golden little river, as fish-scale lit, floating light-Yue Jin, a flashy . Whatever the time, the Lijiang River is still a tranquil river, Jinlin the overgrown grass in the river to swim, the shore vegetation, though still depressed in the early autumn, green. Longer smoke in restaurants and the shore, took off streamers fluttering flags, the wind and move with one of joy. For scenery of Lijiang River has been drafted in a relatively tired, although a fraction of the evening at dusk its own color, Ran also inadvertently write another, but added that the shore is quite cormorants personality, pour point is worth wasting ink.
That cormorant looks majestic Britain hair, vibrant, constantly thump in the bamboo raft wings, it seems that in the display with its own vitality, as well as fishing in his capacity as a hero, then curved, Ying Ying's peck tick of the bold curve is tough appears insufferably arrogant. I was about to entered it, capturing its thin profile, but was breeder warning do not go too near it, it has no fishing, and they will peck people. Drying I ran. Cormorant this seemingly brave, but it also, but be fair without, foul within. To see it is still vigorous gesture, but also could not help Shouyang to shoot a few, After all, people still have to pursue the good things, even to know is nothing but paper tiger.
Reading the cormorant, and we returned to port, and then wandering around, bought a lot of unnecessary stuff back as souvenirs, until 9 pm and more into the Guilin station, ready to go home. The last paragraph near the National Day holidays Many people are in Guilin as a transit point to go back, an additional shuttle bus is also overcrowded, resulting cars late, and we waited more than an hour before boarding, daze, do not know how to return to to Guangzhou, in the extortion of "Edward," a breakfast, I've tired to go home, as my previous trip every time.
