River Without Buoys off the Yangtze River and Pearl River watershed, large and small rivers in the east are no longer a time, but the south away. Beipan surrounded by the previous paragraph in the mountains to find a breakthrough in the direction of more shallow beach can not be navigable.
Starting from Guiyang, more than four hours feel oppressed in a variety of strange odor mixed sleeper bus, we Jiyu vomiting. That night sleeping cattle farm town. It is the cleanest I have ever seen the mountains of the town. Altitude wind, dust accumulation is of course difficult to reason on the one hand, residents have a good living habits are equally important.
Know the characteristics of Guizhou, was "to free three feet flat on the 3rd day without clear." Of the first phrase I have no doubt, the last Well, the available marked with a big question mark. SMS from around the world report to us, "Chongqing, cloudy, cool weather," "Qingcheng Mountain, moderate rain, some chill", "Qinghai, light snow, cold." Who would have thought we will advance the aestivation, at high temperatures over 30 degrees to endure the sun's grill! Lu has not been difficult to go from one village to another company. It is wheat harvest season, blue skies, mountains Pingba the middle of the wheat has been dyed a golden ripe. People toil in the fields of labor, the harvest season of hope. Grab a handful of wheat, rubbed a hand rub, and remove the awn and the shell, thrown into the mouth chewing a chew, the new fragrance mouthful is wheat.
Stand Yakou, a new world is revealed. Looked north, known in Asia, the world's second highest Beipanjiang reveal a red cable-stayed bridge. Kuimen steep is better than the Gorge stand tall. In front of the vertical wall of steel-like stone walls erected, yellow and brown heterogeneous, is composed of a Road shrubs horizontal division of the Green Line, is clearly a wonderful picture, reminiscent of Guilin, the nine horse paintings Hill, or the opposite gongtan The Wujiang River Shek Pik. Our place was 45 degrees foot gentle slope to the foot of the white ribbon extended. There is Beipan.
The destruction of vegetation has reached alarming proportions barely see the trees, of course, also do not expect the cool shade blocks out the sun. Exposed to the sun in the neck and arms like a pins and needles as tingling, arms glowing red, as if the oil on the roast Tibang. Drink into the water quickly turned into a sweat evaporate, and this water is also seeing Dier met. Follow the example of the ancients, "fancies" approach, we began to fantasy, this time to be nice bottle of cold Coke. The initiative of a Coca-Cola advertisements in respect of a tired and hungry to travel as the theme, and even advertisements want good: "Give me a bottle of cold Coke, you can go nuts!"
At noon arrived at the riverside is located in the northern disk horse Jiaping, a former state-owned fruit forest, mainly planted banana, villosum and other cash crops. The sinister curse the sun, we continued on our way to dispel the idea of a fellow in the rest home under the package. Such a decision was so wise, and give a simple example, from the outdoor metal pipe where the water flowing close to 50 degrees, almost human burns. Treat yourself to a long way the best way to fine cuisine. Fish are my objectives, the chicken is also my objectives, then noon, fish, chicken bite at night. This is the origin of the fish was not easy. 2 4 kg more than Beipan rock carp. Fisherman's people waiting for a whole evening until caught, are preparing to slaughter their own enjoyment, we Haoshuidaishuo before Hukouduoshi buy down. The pot at the end of material with self-burnt out, delicious and delicate, is indeed a rare case of a taste.
Several young men could not put up with this hot weather, braving the sun to go Beipan swimming. I nap for a while child, until 5 o'clock, and the sun's heat not so intense it was going to join them. A few people lying on a beach break rocks. Gou Gou actually catch a fish with bare hands, and raised near the river bank with stones surrounded by a water-Taipa Village. Beipan shallow, the deepest, but chest, you can walk on foot from the West Bank east coast. The river flow is fast, careful, it will be washed away. The so-called swimming is inaccurate at best can only be regarded as showers. With a little river of silt, it is actually quite clean. Lying on the riverbed, allowing the cool water soothe sunburn of the skin, massage tired muscles, blue sky, and catch an early moon, fantasy, he is a boat, in the absence of aids to navigation of the river where there is no destination for rafting.
Cement formation, post-harvest field is uneven. I assume, the choice seems very comfortable in the concrete floor above the pitched tents. To the middle of the night, taking the heat accumulation on the ground, tents, has become a "human flesh steamer." Tough summer heat coupled with the frequent harassment of mosquitoes, so I can not sleep. The city can only dream of moonlight illuminated mountains, the moon hung in Zhuiman truly the stars of the night sky, as if at your fingertips. The bright moon illuminated the earth, it makes artificial lighting tool for this moment in outdoor lost value of its existence. I found a place to sit down and give a good "sun moon." The sleepless nights in the city through the window glass, see a lonely street lamps and neon ambiguous, people even more impetuous. Tonight's no sleep, Xingyue TONGHUI, shadow crossfall, those who fall out thousands of poetry legacy, in the darkness fell. "On Black Stars is low, Ye Jing river anxious. Lazy mountain away, just sit and wait Dawn."
Moon Xi Chen, surrounded by all plunged into darkness. When I cooked eggs, Aohao coffee, the sky began to pale, and they get up one after another. Hurriedly ate breakfast, took advantage of cool weather, we will set off just after 7:00. God fairly attention, thick clouds covered the sun. Walking on the right bank of the North Panjiang, both sides are towering cliffs. The bottom of the mountain vegetation, significantly better than some areas. According to the locals say, no one walked downstream along the North Panjiang've been, so they gave us another one to climb over that mountain road. Now think about it, the northern dry season Panjiang leave enough open space on both sides of the foot Beipan Canyon is entirely possible. We lose a canyon adventure opportunities. Taking into account the large number of coupled physical uneven, we chose the safer route. Encountered along the way mountain people are very simple, let's irrigation of Grandpa, take us to Aunt plantain for our Zhai loquat young girl lead the way for us, they gave me has left a deep impression. Where poverty is also worrying and sad. Limestone's only palm-sized piece of land, also had been cleared out and planted corn and potatoes. When the rain washed the soil depleted, Nanbu Cheng kinds of crops to be on the rocks?
After a Dong Gang, that is, three chahe, North Pan River and tributaries to play pawn West. From the ridge from afar, mixing yellow Beipan absorbing states play clear river, a clear a muddy, were clearly different. No wonder the locals were giving them the name "Ching Ho", "mixed River." A motor boat rolled-up layers of spray and finally parked in our two rivers intersect the other side of the headland. When we down to the shore, starting from the morning, nine hours have passed. 3 Chahe is not what we imagined flowing with Coke and ice cream paradise. The nearest towns and villages accessible by road there are several kilometers. The only hope is that the other side of a small steamer. But no matter how we cry is the opposite of the boatman he paid no attention, perhaps our voices can be heard playing pawn thunderous sound of water drowned. Boats launched, is not seen coming towards our direction, but moving to the lower reaches tens of meters, crossing the playing pawn. The four rocky beach on the shore in the rummaging for something. The other three lazy lying on the beach waiting for the arrival of follow-on force. I am across the reef, walk along the river bank opposite the boat, where acoustic slightly smaller. I explained to them the torn throat, 12 in Chongqing tourists want to rent their boats wishes. Them to consider a moment, finally he simply promised, and people overjoyed. Behind the eight people arriving, one of whom pulled a thigh, they are struggling. Ship has also opened over, and headed by the surname Huang, Sanshiqiba years old, tall, bold and straightforward, is coming from the downstream Xingyi City, looking for stones SHI You. When he was standing on the bow, holding a bamboo pole over command of the crew when the rapids, how it all like a boatman. His ship send us to a place open road invites us to camp in the flood side. Hurry because we would also like to thank him for his help and hospitality, the rented minivan hit the road again.
Finally, we temporarily change lines, did not go to the leading mountain, but rather to Weining Caohai. Beipan we have taken, but also in the planning construct hydropower stations. I do not know whether I should feel happy or sad. Project completed, can be power generation, navigation, and develop tourism. Could be along the fragile ecology, as well as local customs are still followed the burning mountain of soil erosion in the deterioration of the situation, let me Beipan worried about the fate of. Perhaps, it is they want to continue to make a River Without Buoys.
