(A) decided to flee when the Labor Day Golden Week, in order to escape bustling crowd, chose to work overtime and stay at home. Dad said I was only three times a year to be an exceptionally well-behaved, and will take the initiative to stay at home and clean up the room. Hee hee ... ... By the way, three Golden Week for me is not particularly fun, I think of the flow of people on the street, a headache, let alone out of traveling. I really do not understand that people are usually plenty of time to Meet in shopping and eating, call Friends of friends shouting, why should it crowded during those seven days?
Finally get over the Golden Week, although the weekend, but the others are busy at work, and I was resting, that's great! Suddenly shocked friends have to go to work, and then stroll to a man chanting, looked at the sun outside the sinister, but stop by. Internet access, walked into my favorite travel site, watching other people enjoying themselves travelogues, that has been repressed for a long time tourist impulse, mixed with the work of the trouble, so I have decided to escape from Guangzhou. Released a bunch of short message to a friend, and finally determine the Shan can be together with me to go, the starting date is five days after the place that I have longed for a long time Phoenix.
The next morning back to the company for vacation, see the boss reluctantly signed his name on his face, I secretly gave a V-to the back of colleagues. Of course, there is a price before the holiday, in order to put things next week, or begin making arrangements, which have not been doing five days late. Although Phoenix is the place where I want to go for a long time, but before that does not determine what it is able to go, so apart from that she knew nothing of the outside in Hunan. Boil the nights, and finally know Tuo, knowing Shen Cong-wen's (though they do not read him the works of the elderly), Huang Yongyu, finally locking the destination for the mengdong he, Phoenix, and Deben. In the online search of the train schedules, so that Shan bought a ticket then, on the other had no time to think about.
Starting the night before and forcibly itself from the company "kicked out" The last metro to go home to catch up, only to find tomorrow, really want to set out. However, after the got off the train but has not yet decided where to go. As the train from Guangzhou to direct Jishou only trip, but there is no air conditioning. For sanitation and safety reasons, I chose to Huaihua of the air-conditioned train, and then transferred to other places. But now apart from the Phoenix accommodation can be found a lot of information on the Internet, other are unknown. After a golden week, with a total Buzhi Yu no place to sleep? I do not want day in Hunan, a news version of certain newspapers have a "two MM sleeping on the streets of Western Hunan" news Oh. And the last lesson in Hangzhou, let me know the importance of booking the room.
2:00 Xiangxi also browse the travel of those pages, hoping to find the information that can set the room, but found nothing, but found another untapped attractions - Hongjiang old mall. Mangba the information printed out, but forget about the lack of time and can only sigh. 3:00, and the protracted with the Duke of Zhou could only surrender, only travels on the message in a hope that the author can mercifully sense to my cries, to set a telephone warning of the room.
At 8:00 on May 14 minutes get up and start to pack up, turn the computer more than 11 o'clock to see that "hear," I shouted netizens to Furong of the most famous "snails best in the world," the phone available to me, really good want to hug her in this lovely. Mengdong he decided to go the first stop in a hurry call to set the room, telephone big blow was their boss's friend, must take the best room to stay and so on. Everything is ready, take a look at the time still early to think this evening is to spend on the train, and Mangqu some grooming. 2:00 minutes to go out, after a Mi Fendian, think about anyway, is also on the train tonight, no taste, so decided to have something to eat. Are enjoying this delicious rice noodle, the Shan caller know that I am not going by car, on the phone over there straight up noises, urged me to hurry up. I promised to forward on to see the table, less than three points, five o'clock train Why should so early? Continue to enjoy the end of my lunch, or Quzuo think metro bar, avoid traffic jams. 3:40, Shan and then call and asked me where I said that the subway ah, she exclaimed, "Ten minutes after the train is about to leave, how can you still subway!" # ￥% ZX ... ah ... no it, do not the 16:59 train? Alexandra is very cruel to tell me: "yes 15:59."
See this, awareness should be the glasses of my friends lost a way of it, how can this kind of thing took place in me? Right! Even I myself feel that it is impossible. I also wish for a long time before to accept the reality. Ming ... ...
Went to the railway station is already 16 o'clock to see Shan stood there, very strange, and we actually Xiangshiyixiao, she was not angry with me. An old friend for so many years, understanding and understanding thus self-evident. Refund ran together to buy a bus ticket, but fortunately there are sleeper. Refund Shihai almost to those cunning fooled by scalping elements, but fortunately we still conspicuously expose them. Toss to five am, and finally changed 19:49 minutes of the votes, we went to the station sit across the M-note. As the guilt, I told Shan said: "Although eating on me." Shan says with a laugh, "how to eat is also the Mo Budiao.哈哈... ..." (:
6:00 and more, my cell phone text messages constantly, it is because I have online booking of time, notify the parties of the six friends I'm out of the message, they reply. I did not dare tell them the truth on the train, lest to explain a Chase, has attracted a string of jokes. Humph! However, Ye Hao, chatting with other parties also made quite in time is too fast.
19:50, the train started. I finally really escape in Guangzhou.
That day TIPS:
* To prepare things: sunscreen, insect repellent, medications, and the credit Caledon (if ready to go Canyon's words) and other tourist essential things.
* The best preparations for a number of small stationery \ gifts brought, during visits to Miao Village may need them.
* One-to-date train schedule site, and accurate information for me along the way bring a lot of convenience.

(B) huaihua - Hongjiang
May 15 is the next day morning, 10:15 am train arrived Huaihua, and had originally planned that by train, is 6:00 arrive mengdong he can immediately go to the train ride, but now not having enough time had. No cars go mengdong he also did not want to first go to Phoenix, only to remain in Huaihua, but finished my tour Hongjiang dream. 6:10 am the next morning bought a train ticket to go mengdong he, we are near the railway station had a fairly clean looking hotel, 90 yuan a night, to lay down their luggage, ready to leave for Hongjiang old town. Station there car to Qichenanzhan, the driver said, will soon be driving, so we abandoned the intention to take a taxi. Who would have thought that such a large half an hour, the driver explained that although they had the bus, but then those who dedicated the train car, there are train delays, so only two of us on board and the other an old man, he would wait for a while. In desperation, anyway, is also sitting bored and ran off to talk with the driver, holding a map so that drivers talk about what fun it Huaihua. Driver is a young boy, talk about playing also mention an enthusiasm, that we not stay a few days to a nearby tourist area of Sinko Dong is really a pity to see that he was last overhauled to the drunk girl was Dong Jia a. I laugh at him, do not give him wine to drink, I saw other people are also to be drunk pretty girl's. In that we have to rush to Hongjiang old town and at night they still back Huaihua, the driver exposed look of surprise, you may think that these two MM too crazy bar. This is also the fastest round trip takes three hours, and from Huaihua Hongjiang back to the last train is 6:00. Get our answer in the affirmative, he can only tell us not to sit for half an hour faster than a car, unsafe. (Haha, Well were quite good.) Night when you come back to look at the new city of Huaihua, where musical fountain and glass bridge. Having said this, it may then trains to really come to a lot of people, the car had opened.
Ten minutes they arrive at a Qichenanzhan know the fastest shuttle to Hongjiang to 12:45. In desperation again castigated a moment that we waited so long for the driver. I hope he did not sneeze when we go. :)
Turn a few laps around the station, there really is nice. Back to the waiting room, after a while and see where the staff came a hurry, with the words of a lot of Huaihua things, quickly ran to see how one thing. The original result of successive days of torrential rain, landslides have taken place in Hongjiang there, build the road to the blocked, shuttle to suspend, but do not know when to return to normal, to the best tomorrow, taking the road of Hongjiang. "Alas, not so black it, you do not like me!" I heard the screams (I use the Cantonese), the staff thought I was a very important thing to do to go Hongjiang, taught me to sit An Giang's car and then change to car to Hongjiang, to two hours. However, a different way, you can pass. After consulting with the Shan, as Huaihua do not want to stay all day and decided to transfer.
The map point of view, we are a big bend to the Po An Giang, and then to Hongjiang. To the An Giang is a mountain, cars kept in the mountains turn, the more we climbed higher, the way a good picture, you can also see quite a few very unique wooden houses and stockade, it should be Dong's bar, the original thought that after the journey There are many opportunities to see, there is no shoot down, now regret it to death. To the An Giang has three points, and found that the station is not the same to the Hongjiang one, but could not hear what the conductor said to the station, sent for him out looking for a Moroccan to say to Hongjiang station, two brings us the money to send passed. To the station to find that air-conditioned buses, did not go to Hongjiang's. Was told that next to a small surface is to Hongjiang, and saw the car had been piling up inside a lot of cargo inside the car dirty and can only smile that is called in life. Then sit down Zheliang two people and goods loaded car. The way to go is also a good mountain scenery. The driver was on his way through a village, not only in time, into the village to see if there is no one to go by car, but was also very carefully to drive to a factory going, let others unloading. And I can not help but Alexandra, said: "Today this attitude is quite good Well!"
Car to Hongjiang, but I do not know where the old mall, to a small bookstall to buy maps. Who would have thought the boss said, Hongjiang no map. I can not help but exclaimed: "No bar." Although there is not development, but also in the process, the total Buzhi Yu Lian maps are I guess not. Raise another one, the boss or should I say, "No! But," he said, referring the next behind a simple map, said: "Only the old mall." Halo!
Hurriedly bought the map, asked to understand the ancient city on bus stop opposite the entrance, we went to buy a bus ticket back good, we began shining on map to go around the city.
Into the red this 7 8 9 Lane Market Street Mall of the ancient pattern, it has more than 380 well-preserved buildings of ancient cellar sub-Lou, still inhabited by more than 6000 Hongjiang; the long road winding quartzite loop, high and low scattered; many are hanging outside the house, "such and such a firm," "such and such warehouse," the introduction, so you might have imagined the ancient past glory. According to statistics, there are more than 60 seat Palace, Temple, Temple, Temple, Temple, homes, Hall, Temple, and the old 17 Club, 23 ancient banking house, 34 old school, 48 and a half old stage, 50 more than the old brothels, 60 more than the old den, more than 70 hotels, 80 more than the inn, there are hundreds of workshops, nearly a thousand stores scattered in various locations in the old mall.
Hongjiang old mall's most notably those attached roof eaves, walls next to the walls of the ancient cellar sub-house. It is these pieces into the street into the lane into the old cellar sub-house. Will constitute the ancient mall's domineering and prosperity.
Sub-cellar houses the external green-brick structure, and then powder with lime mortar, covering an area of 100 square meters. Shaped courtyard, the high bank up a fire wall, the roof from the Quartet, in proportion to the Center for low-slope into a small square yard, or do not cover watts, or overhead and then cover the glass tile for easy lighting and ventilation. Cellar housing more than a two-sub-two or two into three, three-three, three on a bridge between north and south connected. To make up for lack of sunlight, most of sub-housing has a drying cellar floor (Taiwan), three sides or four blank walls, roof tiling specifically designed to drying washed clothes. Sub-cellar and other parts of the house is different is that Hongjiang cellar on the pattern of sub-housing construction has obvious commercial properties. The most iconic is the question of a door wall, not the usual rectangular plane rectangular open the door, but was double-bevel edge geometry door. Into the courtyard, its architectural structure of the cellar with the other sub-city housing is different from a layer, such as stores, high and spacious. Are mostly two-story warehouse structure accessible. Three small rooms, or front yard, the second floor of the hall and storage, backyard three levels of room.
As the old mall has not yet fully developed, which have been those who are living, we can only standing room in the house to enjoy the cellar vested with the child. Later went to a brothel the site, which an elderly couple living in a very warm with the less pure Mandarin explains the brothel that three-three-tier design, how to make it significantly depending on the hidden nature and commercial properties. Well! If the local government can arrange for some professional to explain people's good enough. However, that time may be necessary to close a ticket.
In a very limited within two hours old mall had been around to see the local people living the kind of simple and quiet, really envy those.
18:00 Huaihua riding back to the through train, it seems that the road blocked by landslide had been tidied up. Sure enough, when you return the scene to see two really quite insurance. Later, they heard that day, there happened to a high-level government to Hongjiang, so called the incident a lot of people to clean up the site in order to keep the roads open, otherwise, we might also not be straight back to Huaihua. The road did not come back when the beautiful natural surroundings, I suddenly felt the time was also quite fortunate to have chosen another line, otherwise you can not appreciate the beauty of the An Giang in the vicinity of, but that the driver either late drive, then we might be sitting As early as a bus, landslips, and traffic jams experiencing it!
Back to the Huaihua is more than 19:00, it was the morning that the driver, said that the new large-scale musical fountain in the city 8:30 to end, so we jumped in the car said a bus station, because where there are cars to that fountain. Ride was also observed that no one Huaihua a very special bus tickets, cash box located in the front door, followed by Guangzhou is no different, but there is a flight attendant sitting in the front row seat through irregular, if you do not have small change, then we can first to the crew that the money dispersed, then the money invested in the money box. What kind of logic incorrect? It was selling tickets with What's the difference? Finally, we conclude that: the local government did not want to raise the unemployment rate, but they need to catch up with the trend of the imposition of automatic coin, so such a situation arises. This interpretation may be acceptable?
Although the station crew have been reported, but with Huaihua then, so we do not understand what she was talking about. However, we do not feel that the station would know the way when we get off. But when you drive twenty minutes later, we feel wrong, because the time for as long as ten minutes. One asked the only ones who know that the car did not enter the train station, just the place where the bend at the junction, and now has strayed from the good far. MY GOD! In that under the guidance of well-meaning girl, we have another one somewhere Ride bus. This time we say good crew Yi Shangju Jiugen destination, she told us to get off. Were told to your destination almost an hour's drive, we have a little regret. What fountain never seen it, Why should an empty stomach to see it? However,既来之,则安之. Anyway, no program at night, to go chanting.
That what has finally come to Creek Square, thought it was some large-scale shopping malls area, but found that there is really only a casual square one really makes a very comfortable place, if Guangzhou to have a good enough.
Here also occurred一段小插曲: We get off the time it had been 8:20, so rushing in the past. Went a little fountain, we Taihushangdang, such a small fountain, but also with those that do not on the music, we were asked to stand for an hour to this. We Shahu Hu to stand at this fountain before, and a look of anger, there is a feeling of been playing. Standing standing up, I suddenly felt the center of music, not on where we stood, it seems that elsewhere, busy crying to the Music Department, along with Alexandra ran a large-scale musical fountain in front of the water column following the music and passion to dance with, very spectacular. Although only the last five minutes, it feels that we have already seen the most exciting moment. Fountain Square in the rear there is a lake, Lake Center is a glass of the pavilion, while the bridge leading to the pavilion is made of glass, and very unique. Can be considered to live up to this trip啦.
With so jealous Huaihua people can enjoy the feelings of a good place near the car back to the hotel, they find people who do not love Huaihua night out. Few people on the street, finally sought out a place to eat, but because it did not understand the words of a la carte Huaihua have spent 20 minutes, attracted Ge Bizhuo of a couple can not help but laugh, and act as interpreter. This is a day in my belly holding Gebao incredibly sleep has been completed.
That day TIPS:
* Prices for the traffic Huaihua 1 yuan. Qichenanzhan have a through train to Hongjiang. Half an hour drive one and a half hours, the fare is 15 yuan. To Hongjiang, the bus stop opposite the entrance is the old mall into the former is best to buy a map, to avoid getting lost, the best time to arrange at least half a day to wait and see. Of course, if there is to study the matter of construction, the time should be more. There are a number of nearby natural landscape, such as forests and parks, and who are interested can also Duodai day.
* In the train station can take the 2-way and 15 way to the river that what the Square (forgot the name of).
