Love Man-Li River (1) --- Guilin masun first impression, published in the Traveler on the Notes from 2002.08.12 13:03
"Guilin mountains and rivers under heaven" in secondary school textbooks in the United States on the learned description of Guilin, quiet words, and later repeated on television to see pictures of Cheung Pei Shan and the Lijiang River can only use one word to describe Guilin - America!
Since the Huangshan one another, right Xiaoyu thoughts deepened day by day, so give up plans to Zhangjiajie, swept south, straight to Guilin. Nanchang Yi Shangju on pondering Guilin looks like. Yichun, Jiangxi province near the car to where the rain had just suffered an attack, a little flooded the streets, pedestrians in the water long and difficult journey, the roadside paddy fields have been flash floods washed cluttered, muddy river flowing in the terrace between the indiscriminately, a appalling picture.
And the immediate scene in stark contrast to the distance of the Castle Peak looms, between the mist-shrouded mountains, the water buffalo farmer shouting at the finishing paddy fields, 12 from the low river flows through the middle of the hill, yellow and green and white clouds pose a tranquil rice and Castle Peak harmonious rural scenery, and here I would like to be almost Guilin bar.
Car to Guilin, well see the scenery of the hills everywhere, hills in the city there is, I first met. So, my first feeling of Guilin to the feeling is very special, very kind.
The car, and went straight to Guilin rice noodle Xiaoyu old and famous shop, I had brought with her over Wuhan, Guilin rice noodle delicious, especially the inside of the fried soybeans, both crisp and flavorful. I am so happy to see Xiaoyu, combined with feeling here, the weather was very cool and more comfortable than in Nanchang. Can not help but appetites, porting spicy rice noodles. Touyebutai one breath to eat dry drunk, to the shops, mostly tourists, all of them eat very enjoyable.
I found that Guilin is a natural park, everywhere green plants and flowers, no wonder Marshal Chen Yi's hand mention words: "I would rather do Guilin people, not do the sky fairy" Xu Xia-ke also have a poem: water on white jade with a mountain to do Jade Hairpin "to Praise Guilin.
We passed through the bustling plaza, has traversed a tortuous pass secluded lake trails, came to long pieces of famous Elephant Trunk Hill, which many times appeared in promotional media, almost a symbol of Guilin. Cheung Pei Shan Li River and Peach Blossom River in the intersection, as an elephant bow of drinking water. Lijiang River on bamboo valve for visitors to ride, cormorants live in the bamboo pole on a leisurely boatmen. Lijiang River water fairly clear. Along the steep stone steps up the stairs, boarded the Peak, overlooking the Li River and found that it wrapped like a jade belt, like the Guilin City, looking like a charming young girl, wrapped in white neck with a flowing silk scarf, emitting a delicate atmosphere. Top of the hill stands a tower of an overgrown with weeds Fugen. Down to the mountainside, through the long cave, came to Suigetsu hole, tunnel wall on the engraved inscription of the ancient and modern celebrity, in order to Cheung Pei Shan added some cultural flavor.
At this time the world is starting to rain, we went to Seven Star Park. I like adventures, adventure, and karst caves is a good place to go. Across the Rainbow Bridge, came to China Light Square sculpture, in the fan-shaped carvings on the walls of the representation of the Chinese nation and cultural development pattern, from the Compendium of Materia Medica, Dunhuang murals, Longmen Grottoes, Yungang Grottoes, Sanxingdui sword, of course, there are Xi'an's Terracotta Warriors and Wild Goose Pagoda and the famous horse riding Swallow. The middle of the wall, engraved with bauhinia of celebration. Being bauhinia, in a place where fan-shaped walls of the center of a circle, casting a tripod.
Heavy rain, such as injection, I Xiaoyu stays a total of umbrellas, umbrella always unintentional bias her side, try to not let her pour a drop of rain. She did not want me to rain, in the repeated to correct an invalid, she simply grabbed the umbrella, I am obviously biased in my side. So she and I have wet clothes.
Qixingyan hole Journey Into Amazing Caves, along the long stairs down to the caverns of the hinterland. In some places flat wide strip of crowded in some places, some places unexpected out, some places deeply recessed, it is surprised to hear the underground river is also splashed water sound, and some stalactites from Dongding hanging down, some first emerged from the ground, the hole extremely cool from time to time there is rain dripping from the Dongding, or slowly leaking from the tunnel wall. Coupled with laser-light background, even more dream-like, mysterious and unpredictable. Step by step along the way into the King, King with the walking. Stalactite formation of spectacular Great Wall, vivid old theater, multi-media production using laser harp listening, the vivid pumpkin, plump melon, wheat and clear capsules hanging height of chayote, constitute the bumper grain harvest to harvest picture . It also takes the cake on the ground formed shuiliandong underground river, inside the caverns can see waterfalls, is really incredible. After a construction of the underground river erosion on the formation of the deep trenches of the鹊桥came to a snake hole pairs of the landscape before the rain on the alluvial years, forming the two serpent at the same time can be taken as real hole spectacle. Standing height, overlooking the distant lights and water, stalactites formed Yunshan murals, some people feel very much like a night view of Shanghai Bund, reluctantly out of the Seven holes. In the tourism process, tour guides can be fully felt for dedicated personnel working attitude, enthusiasm and the tourists of care for the elderly.
Hole suddenly see the light, walk to the camel piedmont, piedmont open space filled with a lot of budding lotus, the individual is also quietly blooming pink petals. Clinton in a speech published here. Going round to mountains, the waterfalls down from the hills a diarrhea in the cover under the looming trees, raindrops hit the issue of rapid sound of a lotus leaf, and splashed water waterfalls exist side by side.
Then I went and Xiaoyu visitors grew from the back of the mountain -桂海Forest of Stone Tablets, for loving me, cultural landscape, really overjoyed Wang Wai. Along the hillside before the line, one side is a cliff, one side is fast-flowing Taohuajiang. In the formation of a riverside mountain cave Dongding there is a narrow groove, looking like a dragon, so called "Hidden Dragon Cave," I especially like the cave, there are mountains where there is water, there should be a full one. Here the formation of the river drops, water, sound particularly loud. , And Xiaoyu together, we are very happy, there are unexpected surprises and adventures.
Night, rain had been coming. Walking Street, we finished eating at a restaurant, shopping rain, which in my life, I was the first time in heavy rain the night shopping. We bought a couple installed in the pouring rain along the Lijiang River edge walk, rain pounding the umbrella, the issue of the rhythmic "pops" the voice of the ground water submerged our shoes, in the Li River side, in the rain in, play duplicate "Waterloo Bridge" Rain farewell scene, which I think is the most romantic one cut-off pieces, we have a true interpretation of the romantic encounter inadvertently.
Xiaoyu always wanted to go resources, she heard people say that there blessed with beautiful scenery. The next day, perhaps moved to heaven, fine the. We ride to the resources of drifting. Car Shanlin Jian shuttle, more and more steep mountain, plant broad-leaved plants from the transition to the coniferous forests, mountain turning more and more, Lu has become increasingly narrow. Fog began to thicken, and across the mountains gradually fade, bamboo bathed in fog, we walk through the car in a fog.
Down when the sunshine, clouds dissipated, the Valley Office, Hao-miao calm lake in front of the steep hill, like a pearl inlaid in the mountains surrounded by the. After 4 hours of bumpy in the afternoon to reach resources in the county seat.
In order to take full advantage of the time, car rental went to Baoding Waterfall. The first sailing boat on the lake in Baoding, as the sky began to Piaoqi a light rain, when the dusk, visitors scarce, we enjoy a special treatment. A ship carrying the two of us sailing in the broad lake, than the "Titanic" also full of fun. Lake is surrounded by a gray mountains, occasional strands of rain drift floated into the cabin. I jokingly said: "It's Romance in the Rain," Xiaoyu infatuated smile.
In the distance you can see the Baoding Falls hanging in the mountains, a closer look, when I saw mist flying splashed water roar like thunder, the sound of water into the pit Hong Hong. White mountain waterfalls and gray seamless. Flowing water in the rocks on the rampage, a diarrhea down.
Abandon the shore, along the winding mountain climbing, rain Xiaoyu wet hair, down his cheeks, I put the umbrella to her, and she politely refuse a. So I put away the umbrella, and her rain climbing. Reach the top, you can even approached a waterfall. Next to the Great Falls, there is a small waterfall, wet air face descend quickly, and we dressed couple installed in pre-open space Shenqingxiangyong waterfall. Ear is the sound of roaring waterfalls, overhead is the drift of the rain, at the foot of the lake is clear and the small fish swimming the distance of the buildings looming, I really do not want to leave her there.
The beginning of the evening walking in the lantern on the street, the breeze blowing gently, taste the snacks, the night under the town is so quiet. Rise in the water that day, whether drifting is also unknown, but we are very optimistic. Back to the hotel, but also met a couple, two female students, an appointment the next day to five rows river rafting.
Fortunately, the balance is always the side of us time and time again. River rafting in five rows at the beginning of the rafting trip. Here a broad river, the river can be seen from time to time beat in stone, reveal stemmed spray. Kayaks with undulating waves suddenly hurt suddenly, I remembered the drift of the idiom. 2 boatmen discrete Kayaks two combat readiness. We talked and laughed, six young people from time to time with each other playing in the water fun. The surface became narrow and up, rocks everywhere, waves rolling, canoe violently bump up and I sat in the bow Xiaoyu, Kayaks for a while, was thrown into peaks, while another low trough. Suddenly, a big wave head-on call, everyone on the raft at the same time exclaimed, and instantly a huge wave to me and poured in a thoroughly Xiaoyu whole body. Wet clothes tightly affixed to the body. A everybody's big waves kept rushing sound of cheers and waves relative to the corresponding call. Soon the entire skin raft filled with water in the river down the empty flat where the water Kayaks. At this point all the same as La Tangji, looked at each other, and then laugh!
This is the thrills of a five-row river rafting, laughter, joy, joy, and full of vitality is the drift of the real feeling!
