7.28: We went to the beam chartered river town, we seem to return to Lijiang in the past, there have Square Street, but not for those antique banks, not to display exquisite sheepskin Dongba paintings, or the Yizhenyijia Tibetan silver decorations, there is no overcrowding of tourists, but the strange thing with residents rarely see that many houses were abandoned, desolate, and in comparison with the large research ancient city, only to end up here "slack" in the words of the. There are also a city of water along the veins to do the compass - Jiuding Longtan, the water is very clear, splashed the water to water plants held down Didi Di, Tam, with the shore and float around the Luk Lau, Tam, which is a lot of "God Fish" -- - careful look at the back is blue, while the belly is yellow, these "divine fish" by locals honors, they also ate seeds it!
Along the water, occasionally surprised to find several antique shops, antique store owner is very sensitive to the guests, shop has been vacant for a long time the child is like - walls, covered with spider silk, the row of the wall than the height of a man an old wooden cabinet may go to the middle of Au, and cabinets filled with candlesticks, pottery, covered with dust, but for those placed in the middle of a number of jade glass display cabinets, it is difficult to imagine this is the place to do business too. Owner understatement to say that is tantamount to wiping out the dust wiped off the past, there is no "historic" is there? Shangri-La land has been retain that person is in the open grasslands and low clouds and the ground shook, but he was beam is probably directed at those who keep it quiet that it's "ancient" and the simplicity of the folk customs bar.
Dayan old town courtyard inside the countless Inn, Inn River in the beam is not common, the most special is that the "Dragon Inn", was two dead wood prop up the "Dragon Dazhai" and "rag" it is indeed rich in rivers and lakes taste. The owner is very kind to let us go upstairs and sit, two-story more dark, with wood or bamboo is divided into four intervals, each interval with wood tables and rattan chair, wooden table, inserted a bit colorful dried flowers, but also stood some books, do not have fun. Overhead wooden canopy was short, plastered Dongba hieroglyphs, ancient prop up the window sill with a bamboo pole there is also a decorative dried flowers and unique, the most special is a branch with Jigen, "wild" a patchwork of shade and room The design with the seamless, spider silk and dust enveloped the old ambience remains tools. Outward from the old house to see is the old stone road, and then you'll see people walking puts inside the house, and the soil layer of the stone house is built up as a layer of bricks and mortar, but because of where the economy is Depression, many people have moved out, originally the stone on the road that only traces of cattle and chicken, and now has backing on both sides of the earth, I heard that is to Xiushui Li, develop beam river. Now we see the in-beam river several tie-dye shop is very small child in the near future, tie-dye culture will be like Lijiang Dongba culture has been commercialized as breeding them. . .
