In December last year, had never been seen, the weather has been singing "Beijing Snow," and so on. Had never been to Beijing, I could hear blood HUI Tang, packed up his luggage, and excitedly Ben capital away.
December 26, Wednesday to say no one expects to find at home in Beijing, how difficult it Douzhi stores. From the first day in Beijing, I clamored to be going to drink Douzhi have thought it was kind of spring up all over the breakfast was spread over it. Results asked how many people, until the last day saw flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square, if you ask them a kite-flying in Beijing early in the morning the old man before groping ciqikou the southeast corner of the crossroads of "Jin Xin Douzhi shop."
Business was very good and everyone sold out of focus. A girl sitting by the door, his hands holding Douzhi bowl, a small port on the pickles, a small mouth to suck, and a look to meet the like. To buy Douzhi people who flocked to the Beijing Aunt carrying a large thermal tube to overdevelopment. See I Xinyangnanjin, up bowl Douzhi, pale green liquid, reddish foam, smell a little taste. Ji Houhou drink a big gulp, almost threw up, my God, stomach's acidic water taste much better than this bar! Time goes on, we began to eat Haggis soup, Sesame Rice Cakes, pickled vegetables, fried dough twist ... ... Shen Nong tasted a hundred herbs like, any store to buy things to eat around, and eat what the results could not finish. An elderly couple looked at us do not live in my heart probably exclaimed, today's young people ... ... Hei hei.
Chibaohezu (not eat enough) to Silk Street "shopping safari," (SHOPPING). There's nothing to buy things wordy, fun is the process rather than outcomes. Bearing in mind the Silk Street is the secret of bargaining - "to fold, to fold, to a fraction." For example: asking price 180,40 block done!
Kao Hongshu afternoon Liulichang West Street to buy food, both foreigners had left, and asked the boss how much you sell foreigners a catty? He twist refers to a smile: "The income the money their 10 one, not a large number呀." Listener laugh.
Tuesday December 25 when the primary school, listening to his father returned from Beijing travel read doggerel said: "ah, the Great Wall, a symbol of the great Chinese nation, I really TMD long!" Grown up reading an article written by someone else the Great Wall was 1, "with big Iron Man Road, go away" to quell the. So put aside Badaling and Juyongguan alone to go to the appeasement of the Mutianyu.
PLB to Huairou sat all of which are native Beijingers, Eurya two small satchel to return to her parents like to visit relatives. Were removed from the meantime, the arms Chuaizhuo from the station bought a small shop selling warm orange juice, cheerfully to Xiren itself Unfortunately, there is no gem horse come to visit, only the package was Yanyanshishi the conductor to selling tickets.
The car out in Beijing, no longer block line of sight tall gray buildings, roads, large tracts on both sides of the shelter there. High Noon, the sun is far between in the birch flickering, golden light is divided and fragmented broken bits, warm lighting, soft in the faces of the people who jump.
To reach the Great Wall has more than 14 o'clock. Inspection pit their votes, I have to wait for them to vote Baba was also me, and accede to the Aunt, said: "You have to be reimbursed, ah, is not counting on the ticket would be finished!" I said I want as a souvenir, drew hearty burst Aunt laugh.
Lasts half an hour to climb the mountain, during which the King and the extraordinary hills seen no difference, is full of stone steps and the rusty iron railing. The more I climbed the more angry and not understand This is called Deng Changcheng? Continued for ten minutes, looked up, the whole colorful flags fluttering in the breeze, feels like the walls of pressure pressure Ukraine Hydra general, prostrate winds in the mountains of the summit, just made Wu Qi d.m.z. dissipated.
Qiao day to go, and the Great Wall from top to bottom, in addition to staff on only the two of us tourists. As usual, the first big photo shoot a pass, and then go and take a look at a distant designated Liao Lookout, saying that a good climb up there on the return.
Land was initially flat, with the undulating mountain terrain increasingly difficult to walk. Step into the plains, rugged, and width. I do not know when there is no railing, and next to the wall walk. At this time can not look back but look a Look at almost 90-degree angle of the terrain, simply feet become soft. Encountered in risky locations to hands and feet, all ranging panic.
Drift away, tired, stop and look at scenery. At this point no other people inside and outside the Great Wall, Shino quiet silent, not speak, could not bear to break such a wonderful silence. Wind blows over, all over the buzzing sound of mountain forests.
Has climbed to no longer climb - was stopped by a fence and barbed wire avenue - drilled Liao Lookout, the sun already down and will not twilight of the evening twilight, the Great Wall, the contours of vigorous when compared with the previous magnificent sunset, significantly a different kind of everlasting desolation come. Increasingly dark in the sky.
Sit down the mountain slide. En hum (cough Liang Sheng), Yours faithfully Tell me what note is the "slide" is not a ropeway. Aluminum open-air pipe, plastic pulley, a wrench, "push forward on the fast, backward pull stopped, along the body tilt when cornering." Administrator's introduction to listen to my nervous: it off again into the tiger's den wolf's den? ! A friend is grin to try it. Life and death, I asked for a double pulley units, is also thinking about how to get their lives on the road Zhao Geban ah. Go sit before I re-verify "In the past there is dead people do?" Administrator laughter, friends put to utter shame. Ula your voice down to the person!
As with all the comedy end, to the chagrin of the mountain at the end he kept only the "Just now and then a little faster right away."
Monday, December 24 Two years ago, had heard a friend talking about Prince Gong's Mansion in Beijing, there are blocks of Taihu Dan all the way from southern pulled in Beijing, found a small stone door big, so the door to the demolished. Since then the Qing fortunes plummeted along with the master stone of luck, so called "unprofitability stone." I heard an interesting, she said, so be sure to come take a look at Prince Gong's Mansion. Garden just a few tour groups to visit the same time, we have two lone warriors will be followed by a blind rub. Detestable a Hong Kong tour guide, Walawala and speak about the birds, loud strange sound of the voices of the other guides have been overshadowed, and we had far fled. Did not see the "unprofitability Stone" came back asked a friend, she said: "Why, in the Summer Palace, ah!"
Out of Prince Gong's Mansion, the door had been induced Hutong Tour. Guides and tricycles abra for us in the alley near Shichahai wandering around telling us what is the door when, what is the door stones (the resulting good match), how to recognize this is a civilian or a military attache. Guide, not without envy to start, "and now own a courtyard hereby If all of the rich." How to say? "Many people from outside Beijing ah, take a few sheds in the courtyard, you can rent out several hundred a month, then!" I looked at those who lost in chaotic disorder of the residential compounds, "Memories of Old Beijing," where our beautiful courtyard, on which gone?
"Big Shot's Funeral" is not aggressively, cinemas and all are full. Couples and flowers everywhere, people began to feel the atmosphere of Christmas Eve. Out from the capital, cinema, standing on a busy side of Chang'an Avenue, listening to the clock tower unhurried Qiaowan 7:00, I do not know quite what Jin Xi Xi feeling.
After a pair of broke up the men and women, the girl just has a look of outright refusal, the boy turned away, they not stop to cry. I walked a good long look back, the boy had turned around to catch up to, are handed towels to the girlfriend. I can not help but smile: in the end is Christmas Eve! Square, small groups of young people wearing Christmas hats laughing and joking with our passing, could not help but also to buy a Ding Dai, the integration into the joy of this remote ocean to go.
The Quanjude Chiba dinner - how can there be 180 pound of roast duck, but also so-called "put your mouth on the technology of the" Li Jindou boast na! However, in Shanghai Quanjude taste better than the point (estimated to be a psychological effect) - drive to Sanlitun.
Taxi along the Chang'an Avenue east, then north. Night all the way deep, and have a sunrise industry body, taxis, private cars gradually increased recently. Into the Sanlitun road almost like Tai Huoer washing line. Such as Ali, saw out the window feasting drowned Qiannvxiangxie shuttling back and forth can not help but a breath: almost think that Beijing no beauty, the original, in this what!
Get off to walk across the mid-air inside with a root tube rainbow, a tree hung with countless sparkling little light bulb. Turbulent flow, or vice versa what to say words are, that is not seen a few foreigners. Surprisingly, today is not their "Spring" do? A thought, Oh, foreign people are homesick go home the New Year, people with an enthusiastic without distraction it could do this "Jiejiuxiaochou."
One next to a bar, the bartender, speaking in foreign accents are hard to door soliciting in the street filled with cardboard boxes, sound like microwave ovens, and are used to draw prizes. Tickets 100 / person, "complimentary" drink. Isshiki street landing windows, the dark room to see the men and women face unclear huddle, and everyone packed. Bartender shouts and calls up more spare no effort: "There are two seats do not no啦, and then forward all over啦... ..." Some cardiac admission tickets, the door opened, hoarse roar of the band, drum and music flood Chung out, as if the roof should be overturned.
Go or not go? This is a problem.
December 23 Sunday morning to Xizhimen subway, transfer to the Summer Palace.
Summer Palace, a total of five doors, we recommend entering from the North palace, all the way Gaokaidizou, better and better. Guo, Suzhou Street, Hong Yan were Indian Pavilion, the wisdom of the sea, then to the highest point of Buddhist House. From the Buddhist Tower overlooking the Kunming Lake, the sun was shining and the broad vision, it is mind as one of the swing. If it were not frozen lake, feeling like it is to the south in general.
Buddhist Kok promenade down the two rows, backlight, people walking slowly in the winding corridors, who are all railing shadow. I do not mind happy (as Xiangling into the garden, everything is good), could not help but puts to song: "Sunny, Sunny, peach Si Huo Liu Ruyan ... ..." My friends listen to the interesting I read lines with a smile: "But heaven and earth a spring of the emperor!"
Kunming Lake with jade stone on the railings, if the summer, especially in the evening, sitting to see boundless expanse of blue, weeping willows Yiyi, an immortal life is much better than this strike.
Walking behind us grandparents with little granddaughter, granddaughter arguing with people to ice Naozhuo we should learn to play. Grandma to scare her: "Those people are not their fate!" Little girl blurted out: "I do not!." From the Kunming Lake in the east found a gap down, the bridge has been walked 17 holes on shore. Fear Binglie first and carefully, and more to the middle of the greater daring to go up. In the lake flew excitedly exclaimed, tired, on a bottom Zuodao on the ice, as if returned to a happy childhood.
Yuanmingyuan the charges are extremely unreasonable, tickets 15 yuan / person, to the Western House (that is, a common pile of stones on TV) and also received 15 yuan. We are not help greatly angry, 1:00 stubborn heart Daihatsu decided to go over the wall. This is my life the second time to do this dirty - the last time at home near the small garden, turned into the gates did not even discover until after the lock - in the end guilty conscience, action can not help dragging its feet, climb up the railing to hang clothes and actually a! My friends took photos: I am into riding a tiger at the railing on top of the trend, a sign on the right impressively: "For your safety please do not climb."
Early look at Chiung Yao drama "dumb wife", remember that the male and female snow maze, playing in the Summer Palace of the lens. Maze Central People's pavilion, "Mid-Autumn Festival Night of the emperor and the other concubines enjoy the cool air in the booth is the full moon, holding the yellow lotus lamp life odalisque in the walk through the maze before finding an exit can score reward." Emperor Lao Er Well it would be fun to create!
Unknowingly days have been dusk, sunset, shining on the huge ruins. Stones were not speaking, the long strike hurt enough heart, and now quietly volts in the weeds, watching the rising and moonset, autumn to spring, but also regarded as a destination.
Tsinghua way to go. Liang Qinghua garden there is a design, Chen Yinque inscribed to commemorate Wang Guowei's "Ruin of the monument." Such a heavyweight relics should be no one wanted to come to know. Campus caught 78 students are looked totally bewildered. About to give up when faced a scholarly man, said: "on the edge of the Lotus Pond." He Shun Shou Yizhi, we would like to receive imperial edict to find the past, traveled frozen three feet of the Hawthorn, I saw, "Han Tang Du Crane Shadow "the storm scene, where there any Ruin of the monument? Cold, tired and hungry, there is no effort to obtain other go-day too late, only live to regret leaving.
Dinner in the Chang'an Avenue, "Donglaishun", the long-established eating boiled mutton. Taste is general, the advantage of weight enough, there is no smell of mutton and mutton flavor. Sitting diagonally across from the two pairs of men and women, since the girls went to Beijing two days to see the most beautiful. Unfortunately, traces of heavy makeup, clothes, more than a dignified and stylish enough, coupled with two men speaking foreign accent, quite a lot of "sugar daddy" syndrome is suspected.
Hot to go out to eat was a cold wind blowing, people suddenly punched Ji Ling. Chang'an Street night, although the Chinese Lantern flicker, it must have seemed like empty wilderness, in any case could not withstand the high-rise buildings on both sides of the biting wind in the straight wide avenue callsign rampant. Has been unable to tell the direction of the wind a bit and asked a number of road, say that we go backward. Although skeptical, but my sense of direction is well-known difference, even if the rebuttal is not accepted had to grit one's teeth Yi Yan trip. Actually went to the station! Two were almost frozen, and angrily stopped cars rented back to the hotel.
The first two days of the itinerary too full, has been Bop, and drank countless cold, coupled with the toss, as if were swarmed all of the tired, the whole body of the aircraft scattered like. Back to the hotel fell down asleep, or even too late to dream.
Saturday, December 22 7:00 to wake up out of the window is a vast plain, the trees are empty with one of the northern winter chill and scenery.
8:00 arrival time, frightened to get out of the warm car. While some raw cold morning air, gloves, scarf but can not. We can not help but laugh: "This is the legendary winter of Beijing?!" Guesthouse in the pretty, Jianguomenwai Avenue, close to last about ten minutes walk from the train station, to experience the severe winter in Beijing. Not the same as with Shanghai, Beijing is dry and cold. Wind for a long time, face with hands frozen Sheng Teng.
Threw her luggage went straight to Tiananmen Square. Played several times since the self-immolation incident, my friends loved to joke that going to take a stroll along Tiananmen Square, the son of Sprite. Indeed, the square of increased vigilance, the military coat figure can be seen everywhere.
Golden Water Bridge Road after passing through several doors, is the Forbidden City has. Huang Huang weather of course great powers a century ago, but as China's largest and most valuable of the museum, in the daily maintenance is a bit too casually: the furnishings satisfied with dust dirt, Zhandianluozhang dilapidated, treasure containers lost its luster ... ... Manager They probably wanted to give the Chinese and foreign tourists from afar to leave the impression that: "the not, the original dust of even the Forbidden City are heritage it!" extremely busy the staff were nothing to do, hand in the sleeve cage to discuss year-end bonuses. The Imperial Palace as its history, stumbled bloated, senile even walk steps.
Read "Zhen Fei well", only odd wells as small as the next person may actually be able to plug, perhaps Zhenfei extraordinarily thin? She also drowned probably too late, as early as when the eunuchs were desperately pushing consumer-yu Yun-Xiang ... ... Excuse me ruins the scene of the imagination. Read more on the Hundred Days Reform of the test, according to the article, I recall that one says Zhen Fei's not that people think of as virtuous Shukutoku her pet at the Empress is said to not see from recklessness. Palace concubines Silver not enough cases of each month, they resorted to embezzlement, loan, sell, and so the means, as well as the final wrath of the Empress, even the emperor can not justify its action. History of the original non-people's wishful, it is not difficult to understand why the article, now to reverse the verdict heats up.
17:00 more than sitting on top of 10000 Chunting Jingshan to see thousands of inside and outside the Forbidden City palace, quietly immersed in the setting sun's twilight years, as if a Majestic symphony played to an end, gold-like extremely gorgeous, but also endless desolation despair.
KFC in the North Sea where the park sipping orange juice, hot days when the outside is already very dark, and a French window outside the frozen lake, contrasting a store exceptionally warm. Pair of couples sitting around, listening to listen to the original topic, when people across the country similar to love, is nothing more than typical Jing Qiang Jing tune adding to somewhat interesting Bale.
Do not have to Wangfujing, and I guess that is Shanghai's Nanjing Road - "to outsiders see." Discovered after reading more like a few years ago in Shanghai, is filled with nothing unique about the "specialty stores." Beijing City is characterized by the "big" space if more than they could ever use. Building between the discrete, so much more like shopping in the hurry to get somewhere. Better than Shanghai, the house next to a one, dependent Qingyimianmian.
Friday, December 21 an hour commuting to the train station in advance, usually this section of track to play as long as 10 minutes, even an entire day because of the weekend left three quarters of an hour. Jiangning Ludu sun and the moon was no light, in order to copy Jindao how, we are almost up and the driver noisy. Forced the driver to the screams of: "are you so impatient I would hurry. I have an urgent Mody, it should be Do not know how can I walked in!" Seven Shui 8 bypass to the Hengfeng Road, only 10 minutes away from the departure time of the! We can no longer contain himself, rushed checkout, Lakaichemen run. Total journey: to climb over a bridge across the railway station square, burst into the waiting room, desperate Ben on the T14 times. See table, 18-point difference 4. Two people in the bunk Qichuanruniu Diezuo This felt chest pain, dry lips Shezao, arms and legs weak ... ... in the neighborhood of the surprised eyes, I heard ringing, the train slowly started.
... ...
The last day in Beijing, thinking his homeland cut - be able to return to Shanghai at night thinking about the lovely warm home, but do not forget that at the moment is still to stay out of a hat on the door can not be the capital of an excited Shaochuan sweater, resulting a cold . That taste was cold inside and out parcels, shaking in the wind Can Ye. Being known as the Beijing Capital International Airport with international standards of health care room for medicine, doctors Xiangyebuxiang way to the Tylenol case, saying it was here the best. Home in bed for three days and nights, eating liquid food to survive. Speaking with friends, without exception, to laugh to death: the snow did not see, pour yourself a cold sick!
The only consolation is that my good after a bad cold, the national influenza began.
