1:40 pm on September 28, sunny, Beijing West Railway Station, and the family ride from Beijing to Jining's K177 Train slowly sailed out of the platform, we began a tour of this National Day Erlianhaote the border.
We had intended to buy the ticket directly to the Erenhot, but at several points, but he was told could not buy tickets because the train is Quwang Erenhot international train, we have no way directly to the West Railway Station, who knows the West Customer Station staff were also unclear how international train ticket purchase, just told us the tickets should go to Beijing Railway Station. We are reluctant to run, but unfortunately, we are forced to buy set-ning tickets.
Train is air-conditioned cars, seating is very clean, the temperature is appropriate, Tong Tong is also very excited. From Beijing to Jining ticket money is 63 yuan. We sat opposite the home of three university students who Linhe from Beijing to Inner Mongolia, the city spent only 59.5 students half-price ticket money, but have to wait until 4:30 the next morning to the train, they play very well with Tong Tong We also play poker for a while. By 21:51, we arrived at the station Jining.
Them to stay uncle of Tong Tong already come, but after that meeting, or I was taken aback, Tong Tong uncle's arm and hung on bandages, the original two days before he rushed from Hohhot Erlianhaote had an accident on the road, shoulder ribs broken, the entire shoulder is in a cast, but September 27 is something, let me sigh. We sat rented red car and started toward the Erenhot.
From the Jining to a total of 365 kilometers Erlianhaote accident occurred Erlian red car from starting to pick us back Erlian Jining the price of 800. Indeed well-deserved reputation of the prairie of Inner Mongolia, straight road leading to the front of our car flying towards the north of the road. In the quiet dark of the night, the lights like a sword stabbing the road ahead, as if being in the cave. Road is straight, and occasionally some of the pathway, a good road conditions. We have to drive three hours, slowly, and Tong Tong was asleep, this time is 23 o'clock a. Once the way had been stopped was to go to street carts shop to buy the water, when I found out a star-studded sky, Qinglie the air rushing toward us, cool and great.
China and Mongolia will we have reached a good hotel is 1 o'clock at night, and the temperature really very low. We are tired slowly into sleep.
Grand Hotel China and Mongolia is a three-star hotels, we lived in 205 suites, daily price is about 3.18 yuan, a ten percent discount, breakfast free of charge, sauna free of charge. The entire hotel floors are Mongolia, carpet, room coffee table also has a Mongolian style, Ruoyouruowu's music greeted our ears from time to time, the condition is pretty good.
September 29, rain. I have been awakened by the wind waves, and outside of the north wind blowing, intermittent light rain also. After the bath, I go to eat breakfast, Tong Tong, dining room Yigu Health lamb taste, the smell of the Mongols! Breakfast is very simple, there is tea, steamed buns, Jian Jiao, congee, etc. restaurant around the walls are decorated with frescoes of the Mongolian-style.
After dinner, the rain, under the more bigger, it seems there is no way out of the morning, looked out the window of the scenery, quiet, monotonous, occasionally have a personal shadow of shaking, time here seems to have solidified a.
Noon meal, because of the rain's sake, we eat at the hotel restaurant, there are roast leg of lamb, and burning cow tendons. This is what we come here to eat things that taste really good, unfortunately could eat much. Drank a bottle beer, watching the rain outside the window listening to the wind, we decided to still go out sightseeing, since come, we should go take a look at today's goal is to prairie, yurts, doors and so on. First look at Sheung yurts, drove about a quarter of an hour, we come to a resort, since we came here is the fall, coupled with wind and rain, visitors are few. Yurt is a tourist project, not a real shepherd's home, so it can not take it seriously. Prairie is also a chill atmosphere, and in the autumn blows, the grass is feeling ashamed of themselves of. Hope looked up the horizon, we saw a black cloud, a heavy pressure on the prairie. Appear empty, deserted.
This raised a number of tourist spots in animals, bears, Mongolia hounds, wolves, and some birds. Tong Tong with an animal's apps, it is very happy.
To leave the grasslands, we came to the dinosaur museum, said Eren was among the first dinosaurs found in place. In the years since 600000000-2亿五千万年ago, this was still an ocean, to the Mesozoic era, dinosaurs dominated the area. Now only can see the dinosaur fossils in the trace.
Come out from the Dinosaur Museum, we came round the international exchange libraries. As China and Mongolia, the width of the train tracks is different from China's track width slightly narrower than the width of the tracks in Mongolia, so the international train travel for hours to conduct rounds of working time is about 40 minutes, the international exchange wheel base is like a big factory, the train wheels neatly placed in the railway side, ready for the change-round exercise.
In the country in front, we were stopped, looked far, doors dignified and solemn. Mongolian trucks coming and going, cars filled with all kinds of items back and forth with Mercedes-Benz. This is also verified Erenhot is a cross-border trade town. All the people here work is carried out around the trade. Because tomorrow is scheduled to go to Mongolia, Zamyn Uud, today's visit to this bar.
Returned about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Xiu-Hong, and Tong Tong to bed, I went to wash in a sauna will also feel in some fatigue, hastily wiping the body of water, returned to the room. Although the fatigue, or do not want to sleep.
Digital camera battery charger forgot to bring, and I had to go out and buy a four Nanfu battery, preparing tomorrow's photographs.
The evening after dinner, we have several people sitting in the room, chat, very quiet outside, the invisibility of the National Day here tomorrow, they have agreed to go to Zamyn Uud.
21:00, fourth floor ballroom with performances, we are up, sitting above the sofa seat, quietly watching xintaizi above the singers sing, and then we have a point of two songs, "yearning Eagle", "Aobaoxianghui" , singers sing very well, down to shake hands with us. Finished singing songs later, a Mongolian woman danced a Mongolian dance, dance, drew bursts of applause from time to time.
September 30, sunny, wind greater cold outside, like the end of Beijing's 11. Today, we go to Mongolia Zamyn Uud, 9:30, and we travel from the starting Haifeng, embarked on tours of Mongolia.
From departure to travel all the way into Mongolia, we see our country turn from the car's door pillar. Mongolia's door and pillar. However, because there is no parking, only to watch what is far.
After the entry cumbersome customs procedures, 10:30, when we went to Mongolia, Mongolia, the land stood, feeling the space-time brain disorders, where the ground is not grass, no trees, full of yellow sand. Soviet forces have been stationed in a roadside house, has already broken chaos bear, showing the vicissitudes of history. Yurt, the residents built a house at random, there is no plan, Zamyn Uud only 8 1000 population, the relative has a permanent population of 20000, 80000 Erlianhaote the floating population, the town is like a child. We visited the railway station here, then the best building. Residents yurt. At noon time meal to eat lunch Mongolia, Mongolia's lunch has basically westernized, and the first one is the one on the tomatoes, five cucumber, a meat dish consisting of a little salad, followed by a glass of tea on, and later a piece of bread, a bowl of soup, a rice. Something more than enough to eat. We go to their shop to see if they sell something, we gave the teachers Tong Tong bought a bottle of French perfume, Tong Tong bought a barrel of chocolates. Outside the sand is not small, to the eyes, scratch, no flowers, no grass, no trees. The children looked at Jiaoren yurts distressed, the poor's sake! Mongolian nation has a strong cohesion, there are a lot of nomads in northern China, in the long-term contacts with the Han people were assimilated, while Mongolia has always maintained his own style. Inner and Outer Mongolia because of historical reasons, and now from the living habits have been greatly different. Outer Mongolia from the appearance, diet and even everyday life in imitation of Russia, including text, are now using the new Mongolian text of the letter is the Russian alphabet, Xiu-Hong is the study of Russian, but a word to understand. The Mongols in Inner Mongolia, but closer to the Han ethnic groups habits. Along with a nation divided in different directions of the two roads become increasingly serious. Back on the road, tour guides gave us Bama sang songs of Mongolia, though did not understand, they also hear the majestic, unrestrained emotions.
October 1, 2003 Today is National Day, sunny skies, the wind is not small. The morning we went to the market to buy some things ready to go back a friend, bought nothing more than foreign chocolate, dairy products, etc. on the grasslands. At noon after dinner, a little break, we go out to spend 40 wallet a car, set foot on Quwang dinosaur cemetery trip.
The company, in Asia and the earliest dinosaur fossils and dinosaur eggs found in quartz of one of the areas, known as "dinosaur town" in the world. Dinosaur graveyard is located 12.5 kilometers away from the downtown area of Erlian salt ponds, as early as Qiqianwannian ago, there is a paradise for dinosaur reproduction habitat. When we arrived at a time when the dinosaur graveyard, where it is a desolate, azure blue sky, constant north wind blowing, blowing the forehead pain. According to the driver master speaking, this year's rain, the ground have long grass, a few years ago had three consecutive years without rain, the grasslands are yellow sand, it seems, in spite of wind, sand or not.
Dinosaur excavation sites around the cemetery we are careful observation, Tong Tong ran in the run up and down hills packets. I inadvertently found the front there is a fossil, take a look at them, it was dinosaur fossils! I found a dinosaur fossil, really happy! Tong Tong, and Xiu-Hong is also very excited, the driver also said that we are very lucky, Tong Tong, picking up a lot of pebbles to bring back for Beijing on the occasion, we took many pictures. 3:40 pm returned to China and Mongolia Hotel.
The evening, we do not want to go out to dinner, and bought two packets of instant noodles in the room to eat for dinner on the bar.
October 2, today is our last day in the Erenhot.
The morning, we Erenhot twisted my city, Erlian city is very clean, blue sky, fresh air, local no industry, no agriculture, are all cross-border trade, known as a transit point for trade in goods. Cities do not, people are not many small cars, single-view from the street is not like watching the National Day Golden Week. I like the refreshing sight, as if everything is pure, simple to an extreme. The air was cold, like the end of November in Beijing, like bursts of wind forehead pain, we do not buy anything, approaching 11, when returned to the hotel.
Easy to eat more meals at noon, for the sake of the train at night, we all need to sleep in a nap to cope with night travel.
After getting up the afternoon and I went Tong Tong, a hot bubble bath, sauna and steam for a while, Erenhot trip coming to an end, and outside the room Ruoyouruowu thin sound of folk music passed my ears, soft The lingering.
From Beijing to Erlian seems to enter another time and space and the people here is significantly slower pace of life many of the streets many people, cars, few people are slowly led a life of laid-back way of life!
Farewell, Erenhot. With good memories, we have embarked on the Return Journey back to Beijing.
