Beckoned stopped by a taxi driver said to the new south gate to the station, along the way and the driver chatted Chengdu present level of traffic to see failed in recent years come to Chengdu, feeling has changed a lot, not much time to the Station . Take a look at the time still early, ready to eat breakfast before going into the station, but went to a few operations are not all that Long抄手noodles and dumplings, early in the morning his not used to eating these things, think about Let's just let go first then we'll talk!
The new South Gate station seems very few people who travel, there are small groups of students go on a trip, but my overall impression is that SARS kicking up clouds of disaster. To Mengding Shan, you must first car ride from Chengdu to Mingshan fare 32 RMB. Mountains 138 kilometers away from Chengdu, in Yaan city about 18 kilometers east. Here luggage still had security checks, confirmation of my film is not affected in the case, luggage safe passage, management staff should be an oval-shaped green card attached to my camera bag on. The car has sat three passengers, plus I was 4, but did not expect the distribution until the 8:30 car, there is no re-Exalted. After a half-hour high-speed car to a mountaintop to mountaintop, I sat in the front and the driver was also a joke, this train with the oil money is not enough bar!
I do not have a famous station attendant that the female conductor, I pointed to a green little bread, that is to say that the dream of the top mountain car. Driver is a 40 away very enthusiastic person, to help me put things on hold is good, in fact, my luggage accounted for a seat, I sat back small bread. As the car is small, very soon we will set off. Car into the mountains, to the Monsanto road can also be, that is a bit narrow, the driver appears to be an old hand, often up and down that path. So it is not much work on is the Monsanto rope breaks, the fares for 5 yuan a whole.
Saw the car coming, some people immediately come say hello, some asked about buying a tea, to eat not eat to live not live hotel. I stopped in a store front, watching the workers that roasted tea, took a few pictures, waiters are enthusiastic, busy introducing Monsanto tea, I just inquired about some of the situations here. By ropeway-way 16 per hour, a great fog, it is difficult to see very far, about 10 minutes or so, the cable car to the top after a period of selling tea stalls on both sides of the trail, I came days cap Mengding Shan Temple, photographs, products tea, listening to a guide talking about the, very well. Basilica dedicated to the founder of tea Mengshan Wu Li-zhen's statue, climb the stairs, the attractions are many inscriptions on the tea, its winding Department does have unicorn stone, imperial tea, nectar wells, on the road to see the workers picking tea leaves to understand a number of tea-picking common sense. Down is that the Red Army Memorial Hall, where to see a lot of Red Fourth Army north of the anti-Japanese propaganda posters inscription left behind. Understanding of that period the Red Army's activities in this area. The highest point in the Mengding Shan palace after the Eight Immortals after the Yuanwang Pavilion. In fact, Meng Dingshan is not very high, 1456 meters above sea level also generally have gone downhill mountain road though distant, but it is a complete process of the park. In Mengding Shan grow on with a small yellow flower, like Ono chrysanthemums, 8 valve, with a collection, and photographed. Gone mountain roads, often loosening the stone, so walking to be more careful, slightly Bu Liuxin consequences would be unthinkable, and take Monsanto's paths, to provide me with a special photo shoot mountain trails, probably shot from 10 a few Chang, a small street behind the mountains there is a Goddess of Mercy Temple, one side of rest, and donated a number of incense money, and presided over master chatted for a long time, and asked the little yellow flower called the fine old English, is a Chinese herbal medicine, its flower stalk have heat-clearing and detoxifying the effect. During this period there have come in asking hexagram draw students and tourists to see if the hour is late, for fear miss the car, with good-bye over and continue to the monastery laid down, after Sheshen Ya, as I am baggage back more, there is a slit can be subjected to is very narrow, but I am trying to find fault, no option but to turn around and head off from the rocks, but it is dangerous, I am as close as possible the inside of the rock, hands held firmly inserted into the crevice, the fear of the slightest mishap. Fortunately, to climb the stone size is not large, finally safe down, not a few minutes, I was back to the days of covered temple. And then by cable car, the two Monsanto bought two mannose, it is doing so that no white store attendant gave me introduce Monsanto tea. Only then did I feel a bit hungry, hungry! Even one day without eating, stomach protested. Inquire about transportation vehicles is also Wait a minute, with the traffic and the hotel restaurant and then chat with the manager. My point is that Monsanto tea dishes, fried belly piece Mannan, mannose scrambled eggs, there is a vegetable soup, very tasty, very fragrant! I give them a photograph of phase, then when the manager says, the gave me discount, anyway, is to make friends Well! I promised him to go back to photos sent to his mailbox.
Yu Meng Dingshan, quality Monsanto tea, tea and food to eat Monsanto, when I feel good. When I was traveling to the big time with the off road, riding the bus in one go Ya'an fare 4 yuan, half an hour is up, because I had asked around the town where the walk go to France, so in Yaan bus stop who want you to stay at the letter did not hear the person say no vehicles, and traffic jams of the kind of remark, or in person to see the good, without a car has to say. So, sat a human tricycles, 2 yuan to the tricycle, with vehicles such as the yellow minibus at that to see if the above was written on the inside, sat up. Go to where the road is very bad, very severe bumps in the road, along the way road between the car in the mountains, the black days are slowly down the river valley loud, the car had heard I to go to, the full I am delighted to introduce the local situation with me, I am here, and morals is very simple, people are very kind. Around 8:30, the car to the inside, where there are still 10 minutes away on the distance, single drivers, a human being becomes small, I wanted to put on the other car did not want to, but it was full of inadequate people, I he says the more you how to add a few dollars? Finally agreed.
To the last, the first thing to see is near water Villas, from the river side looking in the past, there are a lot of people eat, is in line with a team, but the accommodation was no one. I had to leave, there is no purpose to the town inside, inquire about 1-1 Yunhong Hotel, 30 yuan a night pack a house, feeling okay. Bath to give the electric charge on the camera, take out the flashlight and Yang master night town, while walking to ask and then listen to the master introduced the ancient town of Young, in the two Xianqiao Department, on the bridge through flashlight light, read the inscription on the Second Xianqiao. Back to Yunhong hotel, I again inquired about the town sunrise time, camera position, then the world is starting to light rain, I am very worried about rain tomorrow. Back to the room, originally intended to write diaries, but a bit tired, have no clothes off to sleep.
April 20, 2003 Sunday Xiaoyuzhuanyin may be due to too want to make the morning sunrise style town, so about 5:30 woke up. I was embarrassed to disturb the Young Master, their own washing is completed, discovered that a light rain outside, appears to shoot up the hill at sunrise is absolutely impossible, but would like to pat another town of the rain and fog cover King-ri under the old town, but also did not count a trip in vain. This one think what kind of regret that will not die, and his relieved themselves, would like to come can not do this place to come and go a hurry, to take good stay here for a week, and that only mood.
Young Master may have been awakened by my ring, he got up, he opened the door, watching the hazy sky told me to go a little bit too early, so I was in the hotel lobby to sit down, then waited about an time, which was out of the restaurant's door.
The town is very quiet, only to see if one or two people, when walking in the road and the bridge junction town, I see the twilight of the night This was originally going to but did not go near water Villa, 2 a long, red lanterns hanging from the sign, in the early morning eye-catching, I propped up a tripod, takes out his camera shutter fitted line, in time for the bright light had not entirely the case, captured the small bridge, flowing water The Villa scenery.
Young master of the town is very familiar with, when he was a soldier in Jilin, is empty after the fact, dig holes in the mountains, but he gave me that he was lucky not to dig holes, but in the rear when the group of tubes, So, demobilized and sent home, put the two-storey town's supply and marketing contracts, built Yunhong hotel. Before there is a small hotel and now the new store not far off, also known as Yun Hong Hotel, last night I went on flashlights and Yang master of light also looked at the facade of his past, of course, and now a lot more backward than to see to their days are now flies very wealthy. Yangsaoxinglin, and I the same year of Health, she had two children, a child and a woman, great is the daughter of the high 2, next year on the college entrance examination, a small son before the fourth grade, I asked to ask his daughter learning, he say no good, but I hope she was admitted to a major professions are also OK, we can not at home farming.
Followed by Yang master's footsteps, he and I came to the hillside opposite the town, the road is very muddy and very slippery, Bu Liuxin should wrestling, because the trees are too dense, is in line with hard to find a suitable photograph of the ultimate goal I found an open space, or a town government has been ordered to cease preparations for construction of a private cemetery, too busy to think much.
From the hills looking over the distance two small peaks in the morning when the rain and fog when hidden, and that the shape of peaks and Guilin mountains is somewhat similar to the town over the roof of the room forming a fog belt, but slowly drift, that view of the very United States, people could not help imagination and sigh, pastoral beauty, then stop may be a long time, and perhaps be attracted by the beauty of the town, loosening the soil of my feet I have not felt, I am also due to focus forward, my body suddenly flash a moment in the protection, then that is down with the camera and stand down, pretty good following are branches and weeds, the camera Jiazhu, but I people have a butt sitting on slippery ground, Fortunately, people are not affected much. Finished in the mountains back to town, Yang Master on the first home, when I began to stroll slowly in the town, a town to absorb the fresh morning air, and 2 to re-looked at the ancient town architectural style.
The town government office where the master was from the Young home not far from the door the yard is not, of course, there is no janitor. I went into the hospital, head-positive house hanging on both sides a lot of brands, people to see that is an organ located at the top of the door of the room is a coat of arms and tweeter into my line of sight, a thought suddenly flash into my mind, I raised this with the camera captured pictures of the national emblem and the loudspeakers. Are houses on both sides, one side is the venue, on the other side who seemed to live in the house is opposite the wall with a very high publicity walls, with the above data, representing the people's governments at this level of achievement. Then it was into the yard, while North Korea is the door house away while still looking the other way is not to see me, I nodded to him good, I feel this should also leave the seat of government.
I was back yesterday and Yang master that part of the evening walking the road and the water when they heard a small voice, I suddenly excited, look for that voice to go along a trail brought me to a small river, there is a small dams, in the middle you can go, in the upstream of dam, 50 meters there is a 3 hole bridge, in particular due to the surface calm, the bridge's shadow reflection in the water, forming a beautiful rural ink painting, I put up a tripod stays and never let such a beautiful scenery, a full shot over 20 shots. In the river town's unique trees at the edge of towering trees, also belong to heritage objects, which take anywhere from a few trees there are over 200 years of history. When I came to two Xianqiao again, that's the beauty of scenery, I would like to express can only take pictures. Duck swimming back and forth on the river, played out to the morning of the town added a lot of fun.
Upon my return to Yunhong hotel, run out of breakfast, packing to, we must bid farewell to Young Master, has been nearly 10 o'clock, when the time seemed a bit tight, had to sacrifice to see spring hundred paces, while the Courtyard directly to Korea . Guta see the word on the road, standing on the road this side of the bridge tower when the Red Army slogan engraved. Not far from the bridge more than 500 meters, there was a stone wall around the arch. When I was taking pictures and carefully watched, a group calling itself the appointment by the cultural relics management Murakami administrators come in, here is the original charges, the income can be received, and I gave her 2 yuan money, This learned a lot. It turned out that St. Paul is a two-Han Han-laws of the arch is the reason to save to now, the reason is that the arch inscribed with the Fourth Red Army propaganda posters. Here, I also heard about some of the inside story on where the original is called 5 Ka, because in the years South Korea, Yang, Xu, Chen and Zhang are the five most common surname, Han money, an official Yang, Xu The women, Chen Arita, Zhang aggressive, and this is also another five have relatives, so in this area when the Qing dynasty which was very powerful 5.
Then walk 1 kilometer to see a concrete sign at the roadside, wrote in the process of South Korea's Grand Courtyard of the road, with about 700 meters turn right and walk to come to South Korea's Grand Courtyard. South Korea's Grand Courtyard has been dilapidated, and compared to past glories can not be in the same breath. The original seven large yard, four olds, the destroyed four, and now the only well-preserved church hall and positive. When I entered the compound, when a little girl walked over head, and she asked me not to visit, and I said yes, she said let's pay 2 yuan of money, when an old woman came from the side, quietly, and that The little girl said something, I did not hear what to say, but you can guess or for money, so I took out 2 yuan pocket money, just to be handed over to the little girl, the results of that old woman the money from the middle intercepted the past. I shook my head no Hang Qi. I asked the little girl you are the first generations of Korean home, and she said that the first 13 generations, you can see from the Han to the decline of the prosperity has also experienced from generation to generation. Han in the last years belong to wealthy families, but they are also focusing on the family, the people reading trained, although unlike the Yang, as there are a lot of people to an official, but the lobby of the plaque can be seen they are still very much advocates to study. Hall lobby and is originally linked to, but because of family, many people up, so have some separation between each other, so from the lobby to the hall door was blocked up, I had with the little girl from the adjacent tracks, into the to positive Hall, in fact, and the lobby I saw or similar, except now the courtyard of a larger church, but the hospital building from the dilapidated houses can be seen the extent of past glory. From the Han out, I stayed connected to the small road for a long time, the rise of the longer term, field scenery, panoramic view. A group of white geese, wriggling across the plump ass off trail into the other end of the paddy fields, I stared at the group of geese, listening to the calls they are sending out, kind of a natural and harmonious rural scenery Yao Ran eyes.
Taiwan looked at the time, has been quick 12 o'clock, I fear that not enough time to accelerate the pace of walking toward highway. Fortunately, just then came the small cars to Ya'an bread, there is a seat, but that seat really too severe to bear, because the sponge is not following, and I had to endure such pain to the Ya'an bumpy bus stop, in fact, that today's Also drove fast, because there is no way due to road and traffic jams were, so too early for that. I have learned a bit over the car to go from Chengdu to Qingyi Hailuogou out high-speed, so called, a tricycle, side tour Ya'an style, while walking toward the convergence of land. Xiao Zhang guide to the phone, saying that they had been coming, did not take long distance, I saw a white van driving empties over.
The car has been sitting a young couple, because the prior Shenzhou International Travel Service of Miss Zhao has told me that they are in Shanghai a pair of husband and wife, exchanged greetings on the cars to look inevitable, did not expect this talk, the topic would not stop down. From now on we should say that three people plus guide and driver, a total of five people started a real western Sichuan style tour.
We talked and laughed the way was very happy. After Erlang mountain tunnel car drivers overtaking in the tunnel because of the small high, fined 100 yuan. Then we have the opportunity to shoot a lot of photos, which the beautiful scenery, stay into the machine at the same time, let those of us who first arrived in western Sichuan were outsiders, without exception, emotion, the environment here. In the car because of bad road to go, when the world has played a light rain, finally came to the Hailuogou vehicle grinding down the hill west town I live back pack of their own arrangements. At this time a written Xin Fei Hotel, specialized motorized shuttle tourists and accommodation appeared in my eyes, I did not say two words, 40 yuan for one night so I got on.
Hotel condition also good to bath, near the outside can be the Internet. When I look at the Forum, when a few guides have arrived. We had a meeting at the cafe chat days, they go first had. About 12 points, I was back to the hotel. Originally intended to write articles, the results of lying in bed asleep, and notebook music rang one evening. When I awoke, the sky is already bright!
