九乡remember waterfall
America can lurk in any one person, but never for any one person private.
- "Golden Pavilion Temple"
(A)
Starting from Kunming city, drove two hours, our destination is Jiu Xiang. Everywhere in the city's ad is "less than Jiu Xiang, vain to Yunnan." This slogan is also inspire us down endless imagination. Jiu Xiang, what is what like?
Jiu Xiang Yiliang located in the territory of the road on the left is a thin layer of rivers, shallow flood, stocked with flocks of ducks, in the plateau under the sun, rivers, endless golden light shines. Is the high side of the river embankment, I am suddenly a bit confused, because the scenery clearly had appeared in a dream, I dream of going back in the water swim freely, but also easy to climb up a high embankment Grass Is Greener dark.
10 o'clock sharp, we arrived in spots. Gate is extremely common appearance, simply can not imagine what the inside can have an enchanting scenery. Been through a southern garden-like paths, turn right off to the sightseeing elevator, a few minutes later, we went to the Journey Into Amazing Caves of the canyon bottom. Water, not seen, has heard the voice.
Rafting in the Yin Chui Gorge. Turbid yellow Jiangliu relatively out of both sides of the rock out among the rushes. Gap Road, was horn-shaped, the entrance width of thirty or forty meters, drifting narrow, a few to the boat may not enter. As the amount of Two Mountains and arrived in a relatively quiet couple, on behalf of the other blocking the sun, so the rocks covered with moss and shade-tolerant plants, a note of the chloromelanite years. Spring dripping down from the peak, episodes blah, around the clock. Sitting on boat, the emergence of a ray of sunshine, brilliant twists and turns, but can not penetrate the surface. Only bow acoustic, Jiang Sheng, we do not speak. We meet on the water speak Jiangliu.
Turn right off the boat after about hundred steps, that is, Cry Gorge. It is said the country's largest cave canyon. Gubi like Dao Pi, the river was imprisoned have been buttressed by the long-anger, turn right to go off with a burst. All the way ups and roar. Cry Gap You Zhaiyou long, stone steps Slippery. And then move forward line is the cave of the Jiu Xiang.
Lions Hall worth a visit. Last million years of water rushing into such a polished Fangcai an area of about 15,000 square meters of natural hall. Hall was the top micro-radians, just as the sky. Look up at the roof of the smooth distribution of the large and small, concave eye, a pit existed thousands of years is a swirl of proof. Hall displays a lot of counters, the counter was still lit I do not like fluorescent lights. Corner of the display in the lobby of a similar raise tropical fish, glass fish tank, which Pan raises a few gray slender fish. Originally Jiuxiang blind fish. The fish lived for generations in the Jiu Xiang dark underground river, the eye has been degraded. I stood before the tank, watching the fish submerged in Bottom and felt that the cylinder on the fluorescent lights shining white photo in my eyes, no escape.
But even if a slip lamp decorated hall counter, in the vast hall still as a stone Yinghuo. The Office of the exit from the stone - Tianshengqiao outward-looking, in September the sun glare, away from the hole Carrot Cranberry Phi, out of the hall is really a cave heavens sigh.
Jiu Xiang is the most famous attractions in the underground waterfall - male and female pairs of waterfall with a maximum flow of 320 cubic meters per second. Drop 30 meters high. It twists and turns along the way and not the table ahead of wonder, I saw the rock in a cave mouth was suddenly broken off, and flying out of thin air span the middle of a boulder. All the way from the flow of water Shoubu Zhu Ji Ben potential, moving sharply for two and a half screamed the fall, I bent over the railings while, I just feel waterfall away thunder, human language did not pass. Seeing double waterfall at the rock bottom and two into one, the sharp reversal of a few bends, roar of disappearing into a dark and unknown to the underground caves in a flash, no more noiselessly.
We also play a Goddess Temple, bat caves and so on. In my opinion, and not much different from other caves. Bat Cave-style name alone is a Journey to the West, according to tour guide said, had tens of thousands of bats live in caves, but the untapped tourist attractions, after they are moved. I can only see 23 in the caves and bats alone swirling.
From the caves and come out, we take the cable car turn around now, it is the air to see Jiu Xiang Chong from depression to go on a little green secret territory. My heart is the most remembered and that stumble waterfall, then a turn, they go what kind of darkness at out?

September 4, 2004, Saturday.
Have always thought that travel is a state of mind of refraction. Although not to be missed attractions, but those who are fresh like the rivers and nourishes the land to escape the eye. I like to sit in the rear, all the way bumps. Looked at the plateau of the mountains, slowly undulating as breathing, the trees on both sides of the hasty retreat is like a youth.
Our companions are not comfortable with, so leave the Jiuxiang car stopped half way. I said leave me along the path, so that they rest better to drive to catch up with me: I got an opportunity to move forward alone.
I grew up on those subtle things that are fascinated by. Belonging to the kind of blow smoke to the mosquito group, imagine the clouds for the 1000 crane dance fool. Now stand by the roadside, fields shadowy lonely. This is a very quiet place, both sides are the lines of gentle green hills, like most of the southern hills. Nearby plains are large tracts of corn. Corn high, spit soft tassel. I am in corn were ripe met them. Corn Tanabe long with thick wormwood. There are insects in the call, I do not know what the insects. The autumn sun in the afternoon, the air pressure a bit low. Arbitrary deep hum low-flying the dragonfly. I walk aimlessly, startled the grasshopper. In the fields of small road side parking in a navy blue car.
I am a person continue to walk along the undulating mountain, roadside Acacia trees greeted me. And I are not the same as the common acacia tree, they are particularly high. Color is dark green, deep-green. 500 meters away from my place on the slopes there is a small forest, should be eucalyptus. Very young trees look very young. Their upper leaves are Qing Baise's. In the sun and sky, they rely on a one closely together, as if afraid of the wind, which is a group of children on the plateau.
Stretching on both sides of the mountain has been to accompany me go. Self-service station wagon from the truck or a speeding too close to one. Yunnan, the sun great, but the sun and Nanjing, the ratio is less spicy, more moderate, at most, to describe it with enthusiasm. Suddenly, a wasp flew from my side of face, ha ha, is also not afraid of me! I bent over to see the coral fruit, orange red, as well as unknown wildflowers, spike-like. Pink, yellow, purple. I looked up, and transparent blue sky, very far away from me. I stood under a blue sky.
Autumn color purity and a high plateau, it is saturated. I do not see the usual rich southern signs, but seeing the quiet. I am not afraid of a person walking like a person walking. Zhishai the sun on my body and my eyes. To hear my own footsteps rustling of the ring. I am now standing in the territory of Yunnan, an unknown side of the road, horse everybody go all the roadside trees to the sky in a long effort, like the Dutch landscape painting in the tree. Road out of a dirt road next to ramp must lead to an unknown village. This is an ordinary country road. There are many people and feeling doomed to go from here the outside world.
A wilderness may only be a long one tree, but the tree alone is still small. You want a person walking in the streets until you find one and your peers. Must go there to find individuals.
