September 26, finally left the annoyance in Beijing, embarked on a journey of the Phoenix, perhaps because expectations are too high, so even slightly tense mind. k267 plays really slow, but trains from Beijing to Phoenix this is indeed the best choice, the next day at 3 pm at Jishou get off Gangchu of the station, on October 4 to buy a return trip ticket, but what are not, so he boarded the train station to the wax Fall Hill bus (train station plaza there, although the driving time, no guarantee, but okay to wait 20 minutes to drive a), all the way to the road in Phoenix. Jishou here are roads, walking for a long period of violent earth Yang Chang-breaking road before dark can not really be afraid to, but the Phoenix side of the road well, eventually went to a little more than 5:00, and then days also very bright. We are four individuals in the Phoenix line of the car under the bridge This feeling of Phoenix is very small, at least where small is beautiful, but in the next few days time, everything here quietly changed our view. Because several Inn beforehand what Tuojiang others, miaojia inns, to finalize the Jiangbei Inn (20 yuan per person per night), so get off the phone after the fight to the Jiangbei, the boss quickly ran to the bridge pick up us. Owner surnamed Huang, was a painting enthusiast, enthusiastic to help us holding a bag, but I have gone through the first skipped a jump that well-known rock, then found the river is very clear, there are many weeds, gentle and calm sway with the waves, so I have an input to the river impulses. And that after years of jumping rocks washed wood and stone steps as if to prove the silence and calm of this ancient place. North Gate where there is a lot of laundry, women pound snapping of clothing, and the melodious sound of flowing water are distant sound of voices in song, so I feel the original can be beautiful but also people's lives. On that piece of the ancient city across the working life of the scene is the bars and inns, to tourist couple sitting in riverside, adds the slightest romantic. Jiangbei Inn on the dancing rock near Hongqiao 200 meters away from the distance, the Inn is one of the most attractive super-invincible large balcony (in its fourth floor), overlooking the most of a Phoenix city, and this became a balcony every night we have 4 people's paradise.
To lay down their backpacks, we can not wait to start a city tour, has yet to come because of Golden Week, so not many tourists inside the ancient city, a very beautiful girl carrying a small basket carried on the Hmong, we recommend to wear Hmong clothes to photographs, we are victims of fellow colleagues lament for a long time. Jiangbei along the shore, walked leisurely to the Hongqiao, melodious folk songs of the wind waves rains, let us have a sudden feeling of living in border town in ethnic minority areas, there is no city noise of motor vehicles, more Some cock barking, there is no tension in the pace of life, have become more not scattered and comfort.
Hongqiao both sides of the snack has already begun, but is flattered by, it is quite unhealthy, as well as what you recommend Mix bean jelly, indeed can, sour sweet, but a half-eaten even when they find that people in We finished a one-time income tableware, apparently re-use, simply make me sick bad. Draw your attention to hygiene!
Turn right down the Hongqiao Shui went to an upstairs floor and the Killer hotels, have long been heard about these two, anyway, we can try, we entered the upstairs floor, to the blood DCB duck, fried beef bacilli, etc. spent a total of 100, is the most expensive tour in a meal, the taste Mody ... .. in general.
Casual evening stroll in the ancient city where a stroll, looked at the silver and Jiang Tang, Jiang Tang can be more than taste, everyone has different hobbies do, they said that we will certainly be bad taste. But there are two packaging is slick, if you want to save a long time or buy packaged.
The evening sitting on the big veranda, eating on the road to buy kiwi fruit (preferably 8-pound of hair), flying Firefly, the river slowly away, the night sky the stars bright, tranquil life of people is always moving.
The next morning we went to a gigantic stone bridge, and three rivers. If you are not engaged in bridge-building, and if you are not interested in barren hills, I suggest you just can not take up the largest stone bridge, because that is just a bridge. From the Sanjiang there are 40 minutes away, there is nothing nice. We have come with a trace of disappointment Sanjiang, re-issue with emotion, do not believe any country fair, being insipid. Is selling clothes, vermicelli, paintings and tobacco, and really felt let down his own, so we bought a point of tobacco, very cheap, to one dollar is enough money, there are bag full of it, is said to taste can be, but also natural. Then, we see a special interesting thing: tooth extraction. I do not know listen to not have heard of extraction of the crosstalk, that is, that according to the classic. Sanjiang go to the market staged real-life version of the tooth, we saw a Hmong women's hand-held vise, and the other Granny Zhang Taizui was just like pulling nails, it's energetically pulling pliers, do not look out, or two, or no down and see us tremble with fear , the third time that extraction of the bitter one energetically, pliers, there is a bloody thing, we can no longer afraid to read. Then we all think that the tooth is too God, and is a big gain. We have been along the street market to go up, about 15 minutes, went to the Ma On Shan Miao Village, on the edge of a nursing home, there are big name on there, good looking, we must go, a very good place, despite the bustling market, where huge crowds of people, when you come to the entrance of Ma On Shan Miao Village, after a bend and suddenly suddenly see the light, prosperity and tranquility in an instant was switching, an ancient stone fort on the quiet is located in front of you, behind the stockade is a hill, blue gray and green is always in harmony, stockade in front of a few acres of land, several low-lying water, no farming, only a few ducks, where rest and roadside trees has given us a solemn Ji Si Ji Si coolness but there are still several of us quietly walked to the stockade. This is a very typical Miao Village, stockade in most of the buildings still preserved the original style, they are using a piece of hard rock base up, and these stones are arranged like the one books on the shelves stood in the book, its sturdy and durable but let us admire. Stockade door is very interesting, like a bunker, people can climb to above there is a lookout hole, blue gray stone tablets even be able to create such a unique Zhai Men, experiencing ups and downs, weddings and funerals, may also resist the attacks from outside off, only the front two tree surrounded by old trees and its accompanying order to witness it all.
About 1 o'clock we returned to the Phoenix, playing the car (2 million) to the famous Ambassador Hotel for dinner, or in general, the price is not very cheap. Remember to eat a black-bone chicken hot pot, 45 yuan, there is no imagination delicious.
That afternoon, we went to the yellow wire to do cars bridge the Southern Wall. I think the yellow wire bridges can also be, quite interesting. To spend 5 dollars to find a girl to take us to a walk in the city, looked at the County Yamen and barracks, as well as making note of the gates Oolong mountain bandits. Than to spend money on a walk around the castle is interesting. As for the Southern Great Wall, we just looked at the following.
Killer night, we bought some dishes and beer, back to super-invincible large balcony, the United States and the United States to enjoy some really Yoshiya!
Early in the morning on the third day we have chosen to do the boat tour Tuojiang the public sector. When the early morning sun sweep aside the layers of mist on the Tuo River, the ancient city had just woke up like an old, Miao folk songs and the pleasant breeze to you with the rains, sitting in a boat on the real feeling of gentle Tuo, the ancient city of standing of the gate, full of national characteristics Diaojiaolou riverside, as well as ducks and fighting cocks riverside Xun Shi, all eyes, the ears are also wonderful to breathe naturally, after wins unique Tsui House , the ship sailed down the river, Shen Cong-wen's grave. Shen Cong-wen's grave as his articles, pristine, serene, the simple, makes you food for thought. There is no tombstone, only a boulder, positive, "as I thought, could understand me; as I thought, could understand people," negative "non-discount not from, but also chee also enable; l'etoile his writing Knows his heart." Only then the Qingshanxiushui in order to have such a state of mind.
Came back from the cemetery, we pack a car or going, Luo Village (70 yuan, about to play a 5 hours), along winding paths through a lot of Tujia villages, about an hour's drive came to this deep in the mountains within the stockade. Kiwi harvest season comes, the stockade had been stacked in the mouth of the hill kiwi, the villagers are busy packing bustling. History of the village is very old, the village there are many old trees, the village green in the gray building, as well as the Tujia people, black clothes and then called the Western Hunan is always pure green, make you feel everything is so clean and transparent, many years, perhaps Memory is no longer so clear, but Dan Banfang with large mountains with forever forever stay in the heart. There are primary and secondary schools Zhaizi seat, where only the primary, if you want to attend secondary school, to go a very long way. School children and our children the same joy, and perhaps even more laughter here, do more, in fact, is such a happy easy, but how many people can give up the city's prosperity and the impetuous brilliant money do? Me, too.
Through the stockade, to the back of the mountains around, the way only seen two crops, one is the kiwi one leaf. As it was noon, the ground no one, the village smoke curl. The few of us hungry towards the Peak Paqu, the weather was very hot, about an hour before Padaoshanding far beheld the valley there is a Bay water in the mountains a lot to bend between the Po has been meandering into the distance After the mountain. When several of us climbed to the foot of the mountain, it was already hungry for Buxing Le, unexpectedly the canyon, there is a small thatched houses, smoke-sheng, the aroma of food a few people let us particularly excited. So we eat a meal here, Tujia farm rice, stewed pumpkin is the best to eat. In the quiet places, people tend to return to the purity of self, a few adults actually plays a game of make sense to, this pristine lake is like a mirror, then small stones actually danced danced, jumped across the river has always been, at least jump more than a dozen the next. My God, can apply for the Guinness World record. Fond later, we are not so tired, so along the stream toward the guiding of red lanterns, walking around, or a quite good way to go, but very few, very rustic charm. Approximately 2 km away, it is necessary and crosses, and said this mountain was an ancient road, very historical, long, long time ago that people left on this road for trade go to the market, so the road is lined with old trees, as well as on the road slate as well as the wells is also very historical vicissitudes of feeling. Along the way listening to the stockade where the simplicity of the villagers to us here in this quiet and peaceful, said it was still closed at night Lubushiyi households it! Will take about an hour to reach the stockade, and several of us went to eat a meal chicken inside the stockade. On this day for everyone to cruelly tired, back to a time when Phoenix is more than 16:00 o'clock, because tomorrow morning we will have to go to Zhangjiajie, so everyone in the ancient city had been carried out on a buying spree of action. (Silver bracelet are basically 3 yuan per gram, and later come back we encountered a local train a little girl, she said the words of local people to buy is 2 yuan per gram.) Evening, we went to eat too much of the Killer meal, just to catch up with a big head shop, so head to a hot pot, along with sausages, and steaming, was so nostalgia, or it is best to eat vegetables Killer.
The next morning, under a misty drizzle, the ancient city presents to us a still holds partly concealed the face, mist transpiration, Cecil rain, big beads beads off the jade plate, as if in this moment, I had to recognition of its beauty, as well as reluctant to part with me. In fact, sometimes that is like a feeling, like it is, indeed, the same: When you love a place, Xu is due to those exclusive moments. When you fall in love with a person, Xu is due to certain moments and feelings.
In fact, the ancient city to say something is particularly good in fact, can not tell you where, I think the interesting comparison is the city's two gates, one terminal of the north gate, but also one of a door in the city, they After giving a vicissitudes, rhyme-filled feeling, as well as a part of the tomb is from Shen Cong-wen's the way to Hongqiao streetscape, both sides of the building seamless, so you have to integrate into the feeling of history.
From Phoenix to Jishou has spent about two hours, at 10:00 on September 30 o'clock when we had come to Jishou railway station, Jishou to Zhangjiajie, a lot of cars, do not worry can not be bought. We have to do is 11 minutes by car, although standing tickets for the car, there are many empty seats, but when the car must be careful, there are many thieves. And the girls on the train with us in the chaos of a mobile phone and wallet was lost.
Zhangjiajie scenery was very beautiful, but we encountered a heavy fog, God said to us: "Come back," basically do not see the scenery Tianzishan, only to go there.
Back in Beijing, the face of heavy pressure of life, in the bright March sun, suddenly find themselves in the days of the Phoenix is so hasty, then the non-stop running at various spots, why in such a quiet place and still can not escape city gives me even have become accustomed to the hurry and rush, this is my sorrow, may be a lot of people's tragedy. I do not know a few years away, and both can also Zaiqu Phoenix Luo Village, did not know Phoenix calm and not scattered all the purity and harmony of Romanian Village can no longer feel.
