2004 Festival of the 51 tour Jiuzhaigou Huanglong
More than a year no time to leave, the boss finally agreed to the 51 Festival holiday week. Suri likes to convene a friend with good river tour of the motherland I naturally first think of a way to see whether there are counterparts of the people around them. Speaking of the idea of going to Jiuzhaigou, or two years ago with a group of friends visit Zhangjiajie is to produce, because at that time the emperor peak tour, looking at the car to play VCD "magic Jiuzhai," can not help but to Jiuzhaigou as the next one domestic travel destination.
Unfortunately, due to travel time in the Festival, surrounded by friends are not able to participate. Really out of frustration, only joining a tour group. Of course, tour has its advantages: one, do not have to worry about stroke, 2 do not have to worry about transport and accommodation, three, the price cheaper. I participated in the Spring and Autumn tours of this special on the 6th of 1890 yuan, on its Web site intended, but also less expensive 10 yuan. As I asked one person, one room, then add to the Housing costs 170 yuan. Of course, joining a tour group also has its deficiencies, including the trip there is no autonomy, team meal and tasteless, can not be up late and so on. In any case, to share with you some of my bar on the 6th row.
DAY 1 2004 Nian Shanghai 5 Yue Fei Mianyang on Friday, 7 Weather: sunny Spring and Autumn tour took office at the airport ticket (discounted ticket price of 550), take MU5545 flight time from the Hongqiao Airport 17:45 PM fly to Mianyang. Flight time 2 hours and 40 minutes (but Huihu only 2 hours and 10 minutes on a), 2100, before reaching the airport in Mianyang. Then see our guide, a handsome black skin Yau: Man guide, as well as the driver Zhao master. This also saw the tour to you to do a presentation because of subsequent stroke and ultimately, their style, a total of 25 adults, 1 child:
1, 10 women, school colleagues, Nanhui people
2, two pairs of young couples, a typical Shanghai people, a pair of stout, a pair of medium build
3, four plus one, a third generation, five-year-old boy as the center, the parents of two pairs of very interesting
4, a pair of middle-aged couple, both curly hair, so the "Curly couples," said
5, a pair of slightly younger and middle-aged couple, for the time being known as the "loving couple"
6, two beautiful sisters, Wuxi
Night stay: Jiuzhai Hong Hotel 0816-2686688, listed among the standard price of RMB198.
Episode: There is a team private tour (Samsung standard accommodation), of which two are overseas Chinese, the same day with our standards of members of the group stay together. The reason is that the original private tour tonight live in a Science and Technology Commission under the hotel, the hotel might be worried about two old overseas Chinese spies stealing the National Intelligence! ? &%#@, Is really ridiculous thing.
Use fee: 50 yuan Airport Construction Fee
DAY 2 2004 Nian 5 Yue Saturday, 8 to Jiuzhaigou, Mianyang Weather: sunny already know that today's journey was very difficult, more than 10-hour drive, or all of the people find a good tired, tired people, sitting in the back After some passengers of the hip after exercise, slightly "injured."
Mianyang hotel's breakfast team, be rich, and after the Jiuzhaigou you should not compliment a meal. 7:30 leaving the hotel and started the long journey. 11:00 arrived at Hoonji, Hoonji historical background I do not say, it is worth put pen to paper is the first time I deeply appreciate a return to "wonderful招财进宝meter" is a very successful, and can be placed in marketing management books "excellent case." Please allow me to slowly Road to:
Since this attraction does not belong to trip, in the guide's lead, we each paid 20 yuan ticket (individual price of 40 yuan), filed into a long history of this temple. So scenic debut of full-time guides, and a 40-year-old middle-aged women, voice to coax bright, clear articulation, rather some cohesion and appeal of the characters, but also very professional. Good show debut, and went to the statue of Avalokitesvara, she declared, we were clever, just a few monks in this free solution for everyone to sign, and guidance on how we worship, we all raised their hands and clap your hands together three Koushou, and high lift our left hand, down the right hand, because the right hand is not holy. In turn to the place where there are many signed cards, each taking a sign, each sign on the assigned numbers, and a side of the temple staff in the numbers under the sign belongs to you give you a yellow paper, Coincidentally , in front of the staff have a donation box, so if you have indirectly helped put money, you will not get the wrong impression that piece of paper. So it was very obedient of their money into different numbers, there are ten-dollar, five per month. The temple tour guide told everyone to get a yellow piece of paper, you can not see, want to equivalent palm, and went to another room, lined up by the monks solution. And have a principle that the same family, take a common solution to a monk.
Came in front of me is a pair of plump couple who somewhat reverently, listened attentively to the interpretation of the monks, and occasionally nodding and answer simple questions to guide monk finished, the climax part, is also expected portion, and monks Introduction: You should burn incense six high note, each three columns, protect themselves, parents, health, children and grandchildren. . . . . .
Hardly faded, so the established procedures for the next person on stage a woman wearing temple clothes, appeared and guide them to buy high-Xiang Department, about his wife, six columns to the high fat incense, and to help ignite as he let her husband go to pay. Fat lady looked at six high-chu Xiang, mouth murmured: "Why should I burn so much incense呀?." On the other side, her husband took out a stout 540 Ocean incense for 90 yuan a payment. Process consistency, character convergence and co-operation world-class event.
So the team who have been "going to fall into the set of" curly-haired wife, four plus one other person riding a tiger in Wuxi, MM burned incense. Even more interesting is that fat wife also lobbied successfully invited has ever been a Goddess of Mercy, but also more than a thousand.
Exasperating thing is: When you somewhat do not understand, or unwilling to buy high-Xiang may also subject to "intimidation", the woman who would wear temple clothes, said: "I did not want to say that on a tourist because there is no burning incense, the results 。。。。。" or "you do not burn three columns, one can do, a column can also be burned."
All in all, most of the members out of the temple later, regret, there are couples dispute, there are hair grievances, only a few people do not enter set to a different reason to delay or refuse, early out of the temple, to spend a few money, eat the mulberry (8 yuan a pound) or cherry (5 yuan a pound). Including my啦:)
Lunch is also a matter of analysis in the beginning and end. Restaurants are sold out of cucumbers, tomatoes, apples. I bought a 4 cucumber, Jiuzhaigou Department has very little because they have heard of fruit and vegetables. One dollar a cucumber, the price began to enjoy the scenic area.
Afternoon read 3500 Azalea high mountain, to the Jiuzhaigou area, this zone is Bothriochloa Tibetans living area of a fork head feathers that married person, the text guide joke that there are two head feathers that those who remarry .
Section of the road going to Jiuzhaigou is expanding, vehicles can only be a single line, so blocked 45 minutes. 19:00 arrive in Jiuzhaigou Hotels: Evergreen Hotel (Two Star). At that time, the sky has not all dark, you can feel this place is in a valley location, both sides are high mountains, tucked a floating clouds sky. Everywhere you can see the site, not in the construction of new hotels, is to build roads, stretches 10 km Mizoguchi, make the hotel. Heard that the only six-star hotel, Jiuzhaigou heaven, still halfway up the mountain, quite far, this want to look into the idea of hosting the Games also shattered.
Cost: Hoonji 20 yuan tickets, 2.5 half a catty Cherry (estimated shortage of weight), 4 yuan cucumber, pre-paid tomorrow Jiuzhaigou mouth of the Tibetan and Qiang ethnic song and dance show: 150 Yuan.
DAY 3 2004 Nian 9 Ri Yue Sun Jiuzhaigou 5 Weather: sunny, overcast and rainy afternoon to
7:30 we set off on the train, the morning chill and cold Jiuzhai some of Italy, plus a need for short-sleeved thick jacket or sweater can be. After a ten minutes, we went to the Mizoguchi, because it is repealed, so tour groups small, the car can be opened to the Mizoguchi, otherwise have to open to the parking lot, visitors walk on their own Mizoguchi takes about 10 minutes.
Get the joint ticket, a ticket for 145 yuan in Jiuzhaigou, a tourist car for 90 yuan ticket (at valid). Tickets are now tourist postcards way, quite beautiful. Unfortunately, shoes, Cheng net free booklet describes the problem early on because of cost, and stop sending. To remind students of travel permits Friends: to bring up your student card, you can get some discounts at various attractions. Jiuzhaigou example, could save 40.
7:45, we boarded a tour bus, began to follow the tree is on the groove and groove tour, end of virgin forest. Tip: Ditch the landscape tree is generally on the left, while the Japanese landscape is in the right groove. They must be the first one on the train, sitting in the best position! The best location of the driver side!
Jiuzhaigou scenery beautiful morning, no wind, fresh air, road clean, all the Haizi are so calm, reflection is so clear, you can not help but listening to Bing gas concentration, Miss scenic tour every articulation, and focus to pay attention to the corresponding scenery. Along the way see the lotus leaf Village, Bonsai Beach, reed sea, sparks sea, Wolong sea, tree is group of sea tigers sea, tree is Zhai, rhino sea, to the Long Center Station Snow Day, and through the mirror sea, Pearl Beach Waterfall , Jin Ling Hai, Wu Huahai, Xiongmao Hai, Jian Zhuhai, swans sea, Caohai, until the highest point of the most distant forests, at about 3100 meters above sea level.
We arrived at a pedestrian virgin forest, the tour for about 30 minutes, where you can see dimly the snow-capped mountains, but because these two days the weather turned fine, so most of all the snow melted. Then do tour to Jian Zhuhai, that is, film by Zhang Yimou's "Hero" filming locations, which out of Jet Li and Tony Leung in the absence of wind, the lake the rally scene. While it was the season can not be compared to the autumn scene, there is no color forest that must, but no wind Jian Zhuhai let all of us can not help but jump for joy, because the reflection of the beautiful, still lake, blue Haizi, precision Mi morning.
A few steps can be called a scene, because only walk a few steps along the road Hai Zi, it also found the scenery to see another worth shooting, and just in general they are different colors, and sometimes look back on a look into the vision of the landscape also worthy of our the camera to record.
We are five: Wuxi, MM, and curly-haired wife, Xiong Maohai walked along the road, about 15-20 minutes, you can take the Plank Road, but there are a good couple of choices, and may not see the whole picture Xiongmao Hai. At this time the sun had been some intense, and the waiting areas in the Xiongmao Hai encounter another tour guide was holding a map and members of special gestures. We then went Coushang listened, I also borrowed a tour guide who looked at the map, this map is very unique, as I had to purchase a map of Lijiang in Yunnan, as the tree is also a pristine quality of materials, Mo Shangqu very there is texture, not only a map of Jiuzhaigou trench three lines, as well as the tourist map of Jiuzhaigou Aba and has introduced the style, specialty text. More interestingly, has also published a so-called "20 of the petty bourgeoisie on the Jiuzhaigou memory", where 11 is not listed, but some meaning: such as "collection of one relevant Jiuzhaigou myths, if not collected, then fabricate one on his own good, "Ha ha!
Sat sightseeing car, soon to Wuhua Hai, visitors, more and more together, Wu Huahai the color of water is very beautiful, standing on Plank Road, and felt from the water, close, very close. Along the faint of Plank Road, right up to Pearl Harbor and Pearl Beach Waterfalls, then felt the flow of people, feel the noise. Pearl harbor before the trial can go on the water, but now can not do that, the narrow section of Plank Road, the crowd tend to return to return, and rhododendrons on either side of exceptionally enchanting backdrop of the sun. Pearl sea water is not, because this is not the rainy season.
Under another walk, they can hear the sound of the waterfall, Pearl Beach Waterfall is the TV series "Journey to the West," the first song of film location, the more visitors at this time, we hold that can be taken to the Pearl Beach, panoramic viewing Taiwan, one by one down the line shot. Imagine if Jiejia how packed the meantime, and voices of the.
Falls come from the Mirror Sea Pearl Beach parking lot, about 30 minutes. We 11:30 into the parking lot, where a bench to solve the problem of our lunch. Personally feel that the travel agency that such an arrangement is still correct, because in order to have enough time to visit Jiuzhaigou's scenery, while Snow Day Long Center Point 25 yuan buffet really can not swallow. Morning, the lunch box it has distributed rice pudding, biscuits, water, cake, killing its two little Mary, a small ham, and even a small packet of mustard. Although relatively unpalatable, but away from home, also will of. Travel alone, a friend suggested he make my lunch.
1200 at noon when a pedestrian with the paper guide on the tour bus to the Central Station Snow Day Long. Through the mirror sea, fully agree with the netizens saying: mirror the sea must be appreciated when the windless morning, only the best. In fact, I said, as long as any one of the morning watching Haizi is pretty. Of course, there is more sunlight hitting the surface of the water Haizi words, it is an excellent. So when the tour bus through the mirror the sea, we did not find how beautiful it is.
To the central station to the plateau the sun began to experience the terrible morning of the spring to summer. Central Station there are many small stalls selling a variety of gadgets, jewelry whenever they call this the "Tibetan silver" "Jade" "bead" and other noble terms. Wuxi MM and I fancy a necklace pendant, pendant for turning the shape, more lovely, but also to Tibet's characteristics. After a inquiry, it will be the psychological price control within 5 yuan. We went to a booth and started "tackling tough problems." The sellers asking price is 5 yuan, 15 yuan over the previous several asking price is really much more of. As the so-called "Group buy", so the price set at 4 yuan, but considering that we bought 15, so buy 15 get 2, and thus to reach an agreement. So spend 60 yuan was 17, cost-effective bar! (Later, it was informed that in fact is not very cheap, because there the road in the future there may be counter-offer to 3 dollars: P)
12:40 everyone on the tour bus, heading for the low-lying ditch residue long sea and began the afternoon run-length. Along the way there is no scenery, far less then the ditch on the morning. About 30 minutes, we went to the highest office, long sea, an altitude of about 3,500 meters. Can be seen from a long sea clearer some of the snow-capped mountains, Haizi before welcoming pine, the largest Haizi - long the sea, and not far from the snow-capped mountains, constitutes a beautiful picture. We must remember that high altitude areas can not be a big step to go, or speak loudly, because the air pressure, oxygen and other thin reason, people will not meet the. Our mission in the fat lady, it is clear that she was somewhat an air of moral one.
Subsequent Wucaiche, at best, that is, a small pond than calcification, which is no water, blue and green water color, but quite some features.
14 o'clock we left the Wucaiche over, sitting group tour to the tree is the sea, because the afternoon wind, Hai Zi than the morning so beautiful, there is a clear reflection. As I drove Snow Day Lang Center, some visitors to see Snow Day Lang waterfall, and our tree is waterfall and a tree is the direction of the sea base.
After Tiger sea, we immediately went to the tree is waterfall. Water tree is issued by the sound of waterfalls was also officially named the source of the sea tigers. Although there is no tree is Pearl Beach Waterfall Waterfall large extent, but I think it is more imposing than the male soul Pearl Beach Waterfall, water flow is more rapid, the wind whisk oncoming water vapor into the face, is very comfortable and pleasant.
Waterfall down the tree is on the sea base to the tree is, where there is a small mill has a water transfer through the wheel where the flow through the wheel while the rotation, the principle as the rural water tankers. We all know that the Plank Road Jiuzhaigou is posed by a wooden article, because after the trials and hardships, it is inevitable there will be rotten and broken, so that staff members are re-laying of the paragraphs of wood.
The Plank Road along the way, we have zero distance contact with Wolong sea, sparks sea, overlooking the tree is Village, about 1 hour and 45 minutes to walk to the sea of reeds, reeds the sea can be divided into two sections, the blue jade belt running through them, very eye-catching, reed birds are also faintly visible in the play. At this point the weather has changed the dark, it seems to rain. We decided to move to the road, take the nearest station, take the tour bus to the beach last bonsai. Just went to roads, the sky was beginning to rain, the air accompanied by the coolness. The want to persist in a while, walked in front of the station, the rain did not expect a sudden big, as big as beans raindrops hit over our heads, because many people did not bring rain gear, so is the way coaches look back on the line per capita over, and finally to see a car reached the years, so stop waving show, drivers and guides the car well, stopped vehicles, and waiting for pedestrians to hurry behind the small steps on the train, naturally they do not see you, whether they hold tickets a. (So to some for not following the Mission Mix Tip: You can bring previously used tour signs, caps or other signs, generally can muddle through this:))
Not the slightest meaning of nonstop rain, so we did not travel was, and direct visitor center at the terminal exit and get off at beach bonsai can only wait and see in the car. At this time (4 pm) We are also slightly "Shenmeipilao" the. "Shenmeipilao" is for "mobile phone" This Feng Xiaogang's movie, this used to Jiuzhaigou scenery, although there too, but this is the case, because after so many Haizi, you eventually will find many similar The fundamental lies in the beauty of the color of Haizi shape are secondary. It can be said that some Haizi there is no need to go one under the Plank Road back on the road can appreciate her grace, and sometimes a better effect.
In short, the essence of Jiuzhaigou is: on the groove: 1) Wu Huahai 2) Pearl Beach and Pearl Beach waterfalls, tree is ditch the sea and the tree is a tree is group of waterfalls, as well as the low-lying ditch Java Sea and Wucaiche long. In fact, one days in Jiuzhaigou is enough, of course, if you have enough physical strength and endurance, and hope to go at large in close more Haizi and some tours can not come into contact with the scenery, you can choose the two into the ditch.
When we arrived at the exit, I already see the text of directors and the majority of members wait in line there, because most of them did not take the reed tree is falls into the sea route, but take the tour buses.
17 o'clock we returned to Evergreen Hotel, nap a bit in preparation for 1830 to eat dinner, watch Tibetan and Qiang ethnic song and dance show in 1930. In fact, Mizoguchi troupe performing along the way there are many places, the price ranged from 100-160 yuan, of course, the quality and size are different. We are looking at one called "Snow Lotus Tibetan and Qiang Art Troupe", 150 guides have been handed over yesterday, Wen said the pre-scheduled guided better position. The results we have reached the venue a look, not many guests, we have a pedestrian sitting in the front row, there are quite a disciplined group of soldiers one after another recently, sitting behind us.
Import Department has performed staff a warm welcome to tourists each sends a hada to tourists in the next show as a gift or enjoy your favorite performers. The performance time is 2 hours, 2 hours of performances including dance, solo, duet, national costumes show, there is a so-called tug of war games, there is mass participation, the winner can be used as the groom to participate in a Qiang's wedding. Interestingly, a foreigner is also playing with our people to compete, and shamelessly hands to help ropes, in fact this tug of war is to rely on the strength of head and neck to win.
Performance is quite exciting, interesting is that they will entertain themselves, self-flattering. In the circular in scattered venues of their own people, in every program in progress, there will be their own people desperate to clap, whistle, there will be an artist before the artist sent to the hada. The truth, however, this still has effect, and can lead the visitor experience and participation, in subsequent performances, you can see that after another continued to visitors to their own "Idol" a gift of. MM on me and Wuxi respectively, "Lee Hom" and "Richie," a gift.
It is worth mentioning that there are several of the vocal performers is absolutely up to the professional level, I do not feel inferior to Han, and when they sang "home" and "Tibetan plateau", you can feel the power of a rushed-yun Xiao , residual sound proudly, thoroughly enjoying. There are their looks, clothing and facial expressions, is also very coordinated, so that you feel and the song are one, let you feel the national characteristics and shocking.
DAY 4 2004 Nian 5 Yue Huang Monday, 10 Weather: overcast rain, overcast
7 am we will proceed, because the mountains today, noon Huanglong is to reach and to stay tonight, Maoxian. Long distances and tough, so tours are staged all of the inevitable "seat grab" controversy. Parties to the conflict are mainly 10 Nanhui and the four plus one's grandfather side.
When the Wuxi MM and I are on the car, found that all of the positions were occupied by a number of plastic bags and luggage, and now are seeing the grandfather of four plus one side and 10 Nanhui person in the seat while the dispute. In fact, the two pairs of smart young couple and the curly-haired couple early gain an advantage from a month earlier, after the driver opened the door, it will be their tool to be placed in the car occupying the first few rows. At this point they have breakfast in the relaxed and enjoy it.
Wuxi MM and I can only sit in the last row of the natural. Tasted the bitterness of the rugged mountain, the way of the bumps, as well as up and down the "bounce movement."
Has decided to Huanglong is also quite some story in it. Because the next day trip, tour guides on impressing upon us the Huanglong water, there is no sense to go is not worth, it is better to Munigou sort of rhetoric. Several groups of suspected companions insisted on going to fear hard to go a long way to the driver bar. Yesterday, it reached the climax of the conflict the two sides, curly big temper, or even speak out rhetoric like: "we are all the people of Shanghai, to have to go, do not have to go", the results of kicking up 10 Nanhui people do not happy, and already has a small number of people willing to heed the recommendations of tour guides, so at daggers drawn with each other do not give way. 4 small husband and wife are determined to Huanglong faction, they attempt to win over 4 plus 1, because 4 plus 1 is 2 down faction, they will most probably choose Munigou, and that guides the car while they secretly doing lobbying work, originally is already 15 to 10, most go to Huanglong, the results of the evening meal and other guides say do a new round of voting. How do you think? During his break, to Curly, and two pairs of young couple's room for a separate lobbying啦, unfortunately unsuccessful. Therefore, Huang's trip was also quite a period of ups and downs it.
The way to Huanglong, we see the plateau yak - Black Pearl. Although unable to see appropriate, but scattered on the plateau meadow, or the ubiquitous black yak to our journey to bring touch of joy. As everyone knows, is the collective characteristics of tours arranged by tour guides into the "black shops" or so-called "characteristic shop." We are no exception. We have "visited" the Ganhaizi crystal shop and after the native shops, the text derived from a batch insider, saying that he could get a 5% commission, but I think it is absolutely more than that number since. A small string of Buddha bead 1300 asking price, eventually the price of 400 yuan was four plus a child's father bought, we can see how much water there.
Subsequently more than 10 points to a native store, let us at least think they are slightly Value: There is a free tasting yak meat. There are dozens of different flavors of yak meat, so that a large pedestrian-yi duo and ultimately our 25 people to buy more than 2,500 products, the main contributor, or four plus one, they spent a thousand dollars to buy a variety of specialties, including highland barley wine. Shop doors have a circle of stalls selling small things, mostly female Tibetan vendors, they are mostly used Bumeng face to keep out the strong ultraviolet radiation plateau. Because I protective measures are not enough, even after returning to Shanghai dermatitis occurred in daylight, and evolving into atopic dermatitis, because the doctor said that is different from the spring, summer ultraviolet wavelength ultraviolet light, will be more lethal. So would like to remind MM, must be UV coated high-value, high SPF value sunscreen, even without the sun, but also so, so as not to further my footsteps呀! !
At about 12 noon we have finally reached the Huanglong, the way some tourists rented the oxygen pillow bag 50 in order to unexpected needs. In the Dragon gate restaurant we have started a simple lunch, because it is not tasty, this time the sky slowly Piaoqi rain, the temperature dropped because a lot of high altitude, some people in rented coat, 10 yuan 20 yuan range.
Huanglong ticket for 80 yuan for 110 per season, each of us make up the difference Munigou, 40 yuan, began to Deng Huanglong. Along the way does not have any scenes, because the dry season, hardly any running water, the way of the travertine pools and there is no water, only in a place halfway 2,000 meters before pulling to see some small pond there are some blue water. Some of the team began Buxing Le, young couples in the fat lady ready for home. In fact, if there is no significant physical problem, or can insist on the Huanglong top, after all, on top of the Yellow Dragon Temple and Wucaiche, as well as close up Xuebaoding is very worth it (though in fact still very far away). We must remember that we must live within its means for, do not step walk, do not go fast, do not talk too much, as it would be a waste of all kinds of physical strength and energy. One would feel more step up, the more they feel more suffering breathing and heart rate speed up and head hair up.
There are people who give up halfway, there was initially decided to Zuojiao mountains, including the "loving" couple's wife, and four plus a young father and child, when the old couple's altitude sickness due to the elderly, there is no entry Huanglong Scenic Area . The price is 200 yuan uphill, of course, the price will come down a little cheaper. However, the money is hardly worth the effort bearers, because after all, watched them with the shoulder and carrying an umbrella while he was struggling to walk carrying a sedan chair Yibubuxiang height.
10 Nanhui there are six women who drop out, all final and only through its own board Wucaiche: curly-haired wife (the original Mrs. Curly legs no, but the results verify that by adhering to, or can do), the young couple one team, four Nanhui a woman (of which there is a very powerful, even for walking guides are complaining about slow point) and Wuxi MM 2 and I, of course, accompanied his wife to reach the Peak Zuojiao loving husband. Young married couples and the three of us is the final one team, the coach waiting for us down the mountain to reach people with the convergence of the vehicle, the 1530 points from the afternoon of the appointed time has passed for 20 minutes or so, but we are still pretty proud to be has completed and Huanglong.
We took only 50 minutes down, partly because the more terrain to the Di Zou, so every next step, you will ease a lot, so we are almost underground mountain walking trot.
Huanglong scenery of course is a Wucaiche as the most, when we finally boarded the Wucaiche, the rain is also a little to a bit smaller, but the temperature was only 0 degrees may be lower, because you can always see a lot of snow and the ice has not melted. At that time we come up with the camera's hand is trembling, and shoes and pants were all wet, can be said is truly a "Poet" is conceivable that at that time come down in phase bar.
The hard way at last to see the beautiful Wucaiche and cloud gradually spread the snow-capped mountains that moment received compensation and satisfaction. Next to the slopes of vegetation and trees in the mist-wrapped under the exposed face of her shy, this time want to stay for a while, but since time does not allow, and then have to start down the mountain. Huanglongsi were merely glanced at only to see a row of the prayer wheel.
Wuxi was originally interested in buying a bustling MM sausage, but the high price of 8 yuan to 1 that they scared off. Of course, we refer to 10 yuan one of the poncho, because the three of us with only one umbrella, so one of them even with the gear I rented clothes, but also because of rain is too large, but had to purchase such a high price poncho. So, everyone is still advised to bring along their own than the cost-effective.
16:00 pm We are a pedestrian to leave the Huanglong, to us this evening for the accommodation: Maoxian work towards it. Along the way down along the Minjiang River, after the site are Qiang, see their Tsuchiya, rather crude. There is something interesting is, when we travel through the primary and secondary students around, they would like to salute the car, and later guided the mouth from the text that they were told the teacher: it is those of us tourists to spend money in part for their of education, including the construction of schools, etc., so that they can see the coach through, we must pay tribute. Of course, there are some big kids do not see the salute, as they have their own independent thinking ability, no longer will be the teacher's words as the Bible has.
At 2145 hours we finally arrived in Maoxian of nine Grand Hotel, as usual, there is no air-conditioning, because the Jiuzhaigou area, including Chengdu, once the non-summer and winter, the two stars, and some three-star hotel is not to offer air conditioning, and the so-called reason is maintenance. Therefore, if the blasting heat encountered in May, and only its own trouble.
As we all became exhausted, muscle intestinal Luk Luk, and then a late dinner meal everyone will soon be resolved out. No night so, because everyone because Huanglong and today's expedition is already tired of.
One thing to remind you is: To the toilet, remember to bring small change, but terrain the more that the higher the cost, even if it is very primitive equipment, a very unpleasant odor. Ranging from 0.5 to 1 yuan. So the best way is in the hotel or in restaurants or resolve in advance, it is recommended occasionally men sing "folk songs" is also a good choice. :)
DAY 5 2004 Nian Yue 11 Ri 5 Tuesday, Chengdu Weather: overcast cloudy
Today's itinerary a bit lenient, we 8:00 departure, going into the direction of Chengdu. Way to a pedestrian under the guidance of the guide into the possession of a pharmacy, there is a female staff member to introduce a lot of Sichuan, the name of medicine, I had no interest, therefore, impossible to hear the real. Only know that was later cited as the hall and saw several doctors to wear robes to do church, calling them: free pulse. Some tourists came up to receive free services, and later was diagnosed as most of sub-health, and then be recommended to buy this or that medicine and pharmacology.
But most people resist the temptation to the contrary, we were outside a shop in a small stall holders to attract help. As we all know today, to Chengdu, there may be some things that would not buy, while cheaper to buy a small souvenir, but also only in this last one standing. Then, we fight the snow. In fact, cost is not large, some people buy fruit, some people, especially women, then buy some small accessories, such as mobile phone chain and ring so exaggerated. Wuxi MM and I bought one on each of only 2 yuan blue and silver and white rings. I also bought four mobile phone chain, you can take home to send to friends. In fact, the car is returned later, after seeing her man bought Lianmang Gan to cover their short positions, the Hehe. After bargaining, only 1.5 per one can not help but loudly cheap. Wanted to wholesale more, back to Shanghai to set up their stalls, and recover the cost of some small money, then of course, is just playing more than just a tongue that it can.
Stella Beer Plaza at noon to eat lunch, quality and quantity of food than in the previous few days, much better. Eat play later, the text-oriented drama River this evening we received tickets for fee 100 yuan and Chengdu hotpot buffet Little Swan 50. But most people do not participate, only four-plus-one, 10-bit Nanhui people, a pair of loving couple, Wuxi, MM, and I took part in 50 of the hot pot dinner. Play at night when the River is the only four-plus-one, a pair of loving couple and the three of us had.
After lunch, we went to the Qin Dynasty Hydraulic Division - the famous Dujiangyan, in which three sections of the great works I am not tired out, and where they spent two hours tour, in fact, do not need啦, but we have plenty of time for comparison only.
In which there had been a little confusion, it is 10 yuan ticket controversy. Po bottle from the fish head Koudao section of the road, we follow the local scenic ride of the tour guides at a cost of 10 yuan, in fact, about 30 minutes walk away. So some people feel cheated, because the tour guide also failed to make clear in advance, here why a car, since the time off, why not allow visitors to make their own decisions? I personally think that if the weather is good, this section of the road can still go, after all, the ground was more relaxing.
1600 we left Dujiangyan, to Chengdu, only less than 2 hours. We live in is gold-ground restaurants, two-star standard, location is also good, ride in front of 61, three points can be directly to the Tianfu Square.
Let us first shop in a small pot into the so-called swan buffet, non-participation of the people went to places around the dining. Because the two young couple in a husband, because of sudden abdominal pain, and canceled the scheduled pot, four cars hit the first check in hotels, of course, fares reimbursed by the tour guide.
Why do I call it the "so-called buffet", because the species is indeed incomplete without all of the balls, bags and pork balls, fish balls, fresh dumplings, no ice cream, while the guide is interpreted as a "different style" halo! But honestly, the environment and service was good, but finally agreed to let us bring some corn on the cob out the restaurant, we are to prevent that is to look at when the hungry Sichuan opera, but the final validation that only Wuxi MM's sister, was consumed 2 months, and the rest were we gave up, Alas!
20:00 to 9:30 of the Sichuan opera is still a very worthwhile and exciting. In the cultural plaza, we appreciate the trouble of Shu Feng Ya-yun Taiwan, erhu performances, Zhangtou puppet (puppet will blink of an eye, will pick flowers, wearing flower, will be thrown next handkerchief, etc.), hand shadow play (a 18-year-old young man will be其两只软软的手发挥到了极致)、当然还有川戏的绝活:变脸、喷火及滚灯。由于我们支付了另外的20元,所以享受的是前5排的位置,由于我们的钱交得早,导游帮我们预定得早,于是我们如愿以偿地得到第一排的位置,欣赏表演十分过瘾,看得真切。
唯一有些缺憾的事是场内不允许用摄像机录像,当然我们庆幸的是用小体积的DC来拍一些有意义的DV喽!不张扬,自然没有人管啦!
表演结束后还得到一套书签,这也是120元的VIP门票换来的。结束后的余兴节目是同表演家合影,当然这不是免费的,20元一人,搞得象在泰国人妖合影似的,当然若不收费用,场面肯定会混乱的。从效果来看,不得不承认经济杠杆的作用,因为仅有两位中国游人参与。坐在我们后一排的一帮日本游客,没有一个人参加,真不知道他们为何舍不得区区20远人民币,要知道在日本,连一碗面都贵过20元呢。可能是比较没有钱的那种团吧,我暗想。
当然除合影之外,还有其他的赢利模式,就是卖VCD,CD,签名售带喽!终于还是有些捧场的人的。
DAY 6 2004年5月12日星期三 成都天气:晴转多云
今天上午是自由活动,下午是游览青羊宫和文殊院,然后驱车往绵阳,晚上搭乘MU的2100时起飞的飞机回上海的可爱的家喽!
说起成都的自由活动,自然离不开春熙路,离不开成都小吃– 龙抄手啦!无锡MM和我三人早餐后,上了61路公交车,往天府广场。广场正在修路,没有什么好看的,不过敬爱的毛主席的雕塑还雄伟的屹立在那里,他的大手向成都人民告诫着:“打麻蒋,可不能超过五块呦!”
成都人是很休闲的一族人,不是泡茶馆,就是找人搓麻蒋,这在游览青羊宫和文殊院时得了到了充分的验证。因为即便是在道观与寺庙内,成都人都不忘开辟场地,喝茶的、开聊的、打牌的、搓麻蒋等等,男女老少均享受起休憩的快乐与放松,我们要记得:这天可还不是周末呢,是周三,大家应上班干活的weekdays!
龙抄手的特色还是在于抄手吗,我们三人在逛完春熙路,两手空空就进入了小店,开始左右点了一番。我们没有买东东,是因为买衣服,没有必要,有许多都是连锁的牌子,上海一样可以买到,还避免了万一尺寸,颜色不中意,要换要退就麻烦了。还有一点就是发现其中有许多衣服是从上海进的货,则更觉不值得了。总不见得我们还要支付上海到成都的运费吧?于是没任何具体的采购行为。
其实红抄手是不辣的,不如那凉皮来得辣。我们没有点18元的套餐,因为觉得有些东西我们本就不爱吃。我们三人仅吃了18.5元就觉得饱了,一碗白抄手(10个),一碗红抄手(10个),一碗凉皮(最终仅消灭了两小口,因为实在不合上海人的口味),一晚凉面(全部消灭,有些辣,不过挺好吃的)。
最后的青羊宫和文殊院给我没有什么特别的印象,倒是路上的特有的自行车前的伞架引起了我们极大的兴趣,并费力找到一家修车摊,购买了两个支架,准备在上海大展身手,相信必然可以吸引路人的眼球。不过,得要在无风或微风的时候使用,因为即可防太阳,也可防雨,不过要是风大,就建议不要使用了,否则很容易坏了。当然还有一点,就是还要防盗,自行车最好是停放在有专人看管的地方,否则新新事物马上成为他人的囊中之物。
下午1530时左右我们离开成都往绵阳,两小时就到了市区。大家都知道绵阳就两件事还比较出名,一是航空基地,一就是四川长虹集团的,不过最近长虹电视受到美国反倾销的调查,日子不太好过吧。
吃完最后一吨晚餐,我们就准备往机场出发了。文导有些别有用心地请我们喝啤酒,原来是因春秋旅行社有随访调查,希望我们不要投诉他,他说了句挺诚恳的话:“你们游客不经意的一句话,可能我的1200就要赔掉了。”无法考证其正确性,不过还没吃完,就有春秋绵阳部的女经理过来我们的桌前,向我们做随访了!其速度之快,其随访的方式是我们始料而不及的。大家一开始还是非常给导游和司机面子的,特别是司机,赵师傅得到了大家的一致好评。不过随着话题的深入,及这位女经理所显示出的诚恳之意,于是有些人忍耐不住了,将文导的“小贿赂”- 啤酒已经忘记了,可能早已排出体外了,呵呵!四加一的年轻母亲就其小孩的费用问题首当其冲地“发难”了,当然还有抢位风波,10元车风波,黄龙之游说等全盘托出,真不知道女经理密密麻麻记录了这么多,我们可怜的文导是否1200元的罚款成定局呢?不过相信这些均非导游的原则性过错,仅是协调上的一些不足。不过我们可没有爆出“佣金”的料,话说回来,相信旅行社也是对这种行为,睁一眼闭一眼的吧!
总而言之,此次随团之行,有收获,也有遗憾!美丽的九寨是最难忘了,我想,会选择一个深秋,再去领略一番吧!届时,你会与我同行吗?
