Although the full information gathered before, have reminded us that the road Kunming to Lijiang is very difficult to go, but the 9 hours of 7 hours in a bumpy journey into the unexpected, or surprise us. I took a great effort and finally could not sleep. Those foreigners Daoshi lower berth is very optimistic, they seem more can not sleep, short and narrow beds so that they have to huddle up your long legs, sharp bumps so that we can not help churn up and down rolling around, which make me sleepy companions, asking this question, but the foreigners who are constantly Qing Xiao, it seems that this is a quite good to play things.
Which Pakistan has finally stopped the bumps and I started going to bed, close to one of my companions gently but firmly shook me: Hey, quick wake up, we went to the Lijiang! Open its eyes and a look at the house is different, the sun shines on the wall of the distinctive color, exceptionally brilliant! Although there is no clear evidence, but I really feel like standing on an altitude of 2000 meters above place. Out of the car, direct sunlight down, looked up at the heavens, seem to be particularly pure, the sun seemed to have an especially warm to. Zz from sina read a lot before he came again and again we have to take account of long-sleeved clothing, less with short-sleeved, because the weather here is always changing impermanent, so get off before the Pro more than wearing one. Wearing two clothes, carrying a bulging backpack, walking in Yunnan pure passion is nothing but vague under the sun, I sweat pour off you.
Just out of the station, a local's aunt on the enthusiasm went up to us. She insisted to give us lead the way, which gives us a little bit uneasy, not knowing that she would not turn back to us to bring travel expenses, but the aunt seemed to see through our mind, insisting that a free service. Tens of meters away, left a Shui, we saw a row of stone houses. We started getting excited. Aunt walked up to our explanation. Has completed the row of stone houses, turn right our eyes bright, still stone house, but building more beautiful, wide stone road, interesting is that each section of the road away some of the writing on the wall always greatly of "Purple air from the east." Qiguaibaguai alley, where a quiet abnormal fatigue the body seems to have been from such a soothing tranquility. Have already seen some signs hanging from the inn, steal a glance a look inside to see, when it comes Inn which has always placed a lot of flowers, the pattern like a small courtyard. Finally saw a small ditch, water gurgled flowing very clear. Inn More and more, each decorated and patterns are similar, but looks are full of family atmosphere, comfortable and warm. Lead the way aunt told us that approaching Square Street of the old city center. Have already seen some of the tourists out for a stroll, and some shops have opened the door. When we finally came to a four-square is not big, lead the way's aunt, said: This is the Square Street of the. It was early, can be square, have a bunch of people activity. Who love photography to capture the most beautiful scenery of the ancient city, some of the work tired office workers to walk a daze, there are some that, as we have just arrived in this new intruder. Constantly around someone cries, someone contact the inn, some people take pictures, all this a bit too exuberant. Before he came to the impression of Lijiang confined to those two rows of stone houses boat for a small ditch flowing quietly, and now all that has changed the real true and may be offered is somewhat beyond my vision. Before finally online recruitment had met some of my friends, living in the vicinity of one of the Square Street Inn, the name "wagu Inn." Clean beds, simple furniture, opened the window, went so far as to see the roof of varying a distance, can see the mountain's shadow.
Because a good night without a break, while recent arrivals to the excitement has not fully subsided, I did not even know the exact time. Wash away a fatigue, and my friends go out together after greeting hug, the ancient city has been crowded with the. All around are all human beings, white skin, yellow skin, accent is even more diverse, can be described as Accents South and North. Has also started its activities in the various tours, tour guides holding a big horn shouting their visitors. Shops have also opened the door, selling Hulusi, and selling jewelry gadgets, and sell apparel features hood, and selling wood carvings, and dazzling, colorful. Some of our panic to go away from the city's direction, the final selection of the beam he first went to town. Played two taxis, seven people were to go into the. Seems to be a laid-back mood of the ancient city of the driver to drive much more slowly. All the way in the past, the scenery constantly changes. Street full of modern villa, designed very much with the mind. The most interesting thing is, the weather changes. Clearly here, or blue skies, but not far away had been looking at the dark clouds covered, as if we must rain. Get off the train, the driver kindly reminds us that entered the town should be a rain.
After all, there is no rain the next. Because the town is being rebuilt, so very few visitors. We were in, the locals met with very warm. Accompanied by a number of others kinds of girls on the town particularly interested in the fruit at the roadside, clamored to be accompanied by the only two boys climbed Quzhai, host family also met with the constant does not prevent the side He He smiled with great interest. More than girls, and always will be particularly busy. A nice little place to go, as long as one of the proposed camera, several other flew Hula pull ran along for the ride, so photos became a single photo. Went to an inn and bar, the rain together, we all ran into the parent's house. Lijiang ancient town of bars and pubs have a marked feature like antique, and all furniture, furnishings have sought to ancient style. This is even worse when placed in a small courtyard, two rocking-chair, lying on top of the pan a shake leisurely, cozy endless. Perhaps fewer visitors to town, shops also fewer bells and whistles, which for us is a good thing. Here we feel a real quiet. Occasionally there are one or two shops, but also highly thought for! Scarecrow's accessories such as a shop selling the shop there is a big scarecrow outside the marking, which filled a small scarecrow is not cute, but unique, and then further inside is a big scarecrow, a close look at it The top is filled with lover's signature. There is also a shop selling antique ornaments, and its entrance and even placed a real old saddle, which was also hoisted on a big black wooden fish, glass cabinets display a number of ancient coins and antique jewelry. Town road is not the same as the ancient city are the stone road, some of its deep alleys are muddy road, we are curious to go into, but the way found a lot of horse manure, because the unpleasant taste of the final forced to withdraw. However, the lens seemed so simple charm of these paths. Inside the ancient city of Lijiang ancient town also has a similar minor groove, small ditch also splashed shedding clear water. When we passed an alley, a wrinkled grandmother sell her plums to us, we kindly bought some, and then kept trained on the clear washed clean, and put his mouth to taste, Tian Sisi very delicious. Town where you rarely see locals, they can have one when we Shui of a bend, was surprised to see a local Naxi grandfather wear their clothes sitting on a bucket in front of smoking, any person who met with loving photography wanted to give him a can when we put to him by this request, the grandfather even shook his head again and again, but also stretched a few fingers to us, then we trouble to understand, the original grandfather was to model the cost. Presumably in the group after he argued a group of photography enthusiasts, the uncle who already know how to use their own to create economic value, and we laugh, only give up the idea.
Time too early, so we just sat in a bar to enjoy a moment's peace. Bar layout is still antique, wooden bar, wooden wine racks, wooden baskets, these are some of black wood, the time appears to have the blackened wood static and sedimentation. Point of some of their characteristics, buttered tea and chicken bean jelly beans while waiting for the gap and wife to our sensational of the Naxi ancient music. In the sonorous and ancient music, in black wood, we have once again lost themselves, I do not know where you are. People just lying lazy to sit, not words. The smell of butter tea milk fragrance gradually come, some of us hold herself back any. However, the taste of a hurry, salty, a little taste of tea is very light, and a little taste of milk was more light and in the end almost made a hard task before us will be a pot of tea drinking. Chicken bean jelly beans are also a bit unsatisfactory, and light had almost no flavor.
Night, trying to get into negotiations, decided to go clubbing. Clubbing in Lijiang is another concept, there are no dances no DJ, is almost pure alcohol. However, it is one which is second to none. To which the well-known in the Square Street alley, ditch the low-lying side of the high side, on both sides in a small ditch filled with tables, chairs, tables covered with fine cloth, came alive again in a light cast a feature Lijiang lampshade, everything seemed fine elegant leisure. Although there is no dance and music, can never reconcile He Menjiu visitors. As a result, drink the rise of a table of people began to sing songs, sung, and some people on the opposite applaud. Drum End palm, also followed their own to one. In this way, there echoed over and over here, over there over and over here, cheers on both sides who have been driven up, it was not turned into a singing in antiphonal style. Here, what song can sing, songs, ethnic songs, pop songs, we sing the whole day. Bar girls, who also participated in the Naxi come in, they are high-pitched singing of the rotation so that we opened up a back field of vision. This evening, we have thoroughly enjoyed themselves and go.
However, 35 young people travel together, are naturally lively and happy, but come to such an ancient city of Lijiang, you will not help very much like a moment's quiet exclusive. Early next morning, I got up. Because this day soon to Lugu Lake. I am alone in a place where people have never been a leisurely stroll back, Lijiang locals seem to like to get up early, many people have already opened the door, exposing them to the courtyard where the flowers bloom is Yan. On several occasions I think they slipped into the courtyard and enjoy a return to flowers. Originally did not expect a quiet courtyard, as long as I stepped through the door, flew out of there red bark of a dog barking. Interestingly, these dogs are mostly the same as petite as the Beijing Pekinese dog, but look to see if it barks, it is probably as tall dogs themselves, and this attitude is enough to dodge behind me scared.
Because once the excitement of being frightened of Lijiang, which is why the ancient city of Lijiang, we did not experience the taste thin on the left. Then along the way to play in the past, my playmate constant replacement. When all the attractions swim, I have been exhausted. Luggage storage because of some reasons, I again returned to this city, this time I am the only one person.
Back to Lijiang, when still very early, two in the afternoon. Strong sunlight in particular, it illuminates the stone road, light shake, very dazzling. I am a people travel in the busy crowd, leisurely selection of the gift. Bought a black scarf on his head, feeling cool! :) A young mother or even pointed at my headscarf to her little girl said: kids, look, aunt who wear headscarves more beautiful, you can also buy a bar! It made me secretly happy for a return. After Dashiqiao time, see the better sell to eat, what Lijiang Baba, Baba walk away, noodle casserole, much love all the way to eat the past, while holding up the final stomach discomfort, but he's very enjoyable.
The evening, when the inn rushed a cool, ready to put together a few days the accumulation of large wash dirty clothes. The boss's grandmother kindly told me that because it is family-style inn, laundry can only rely on a water faucet, wash clean and time-consuming, it is better to wait half an hour to 8:00, outside the laundry can be a small ditch. Due to geological reasons, Lijiang 20:00 minutes still daylight. I roll up their trouser legs, line and on the sleeves, they squatted since the small Mizobe wash clothes. A kid, in the home also has such a small ditch, it gave me a lot of childhood happiness.
Who was busy working all the time, a friend sent a text message, because she has returned to this ancient city. So, ultimately, everyone gathered together, went to one called "Left Bank" of the bar, this bar especially quiet. Chatted for a trip back to their own, but also excited about seeing some pictures, even unconsciously to 12 points. But my friend is a Luchi, even forget the way back to the Inn. Fortunately, she brought an Inn's business card, you look closely, where she lived and I actually live in the same alley. Although the same alley, but because there were too many alley Lijiang similar, but also Qiguaibaguai, so a sudden we really still can not find that family Inn. When a family is identified on the faint light of the discussion, a sudden bend out of 34 middle-aged man. The way they look, I know that all visitors. It is so late, they seem very relaxed. Suddenly, they are one of the men looked at us, up on the Qing Xiao, said: yo, are a group of people who can not find the way home! It turned out that they lost their way. My friend and I laugh. No laughter died down along their way out of our Guaige Wan surprise, she found a friend live in the inn. While stocks last friend came out, those early middle-aged men also do not see shadow, and probably they have finally found his way home, the bar!
