Morning woke up, he said that early, we can read DVD - "taste of Green Papaya" in the last 25 minutes. An aesthetic mood of film, bringing light, like dew in Shanghai sky diffuse. Our mood is like this one say goodbye to the inter-city ceremony. Then we hit the "plane" to the depths of loess - Taiyuan. That is the lunar New Year's Eve.
Pingyao a tricycle into the night with our New Year's Eve. Rattle of the cars the way creak, suddenly stopped the car Fu Langlang to recommend, "Do you live in this Inn Bar - Germany ranks the source." This is a local folk Inn Mody? I am surprised, because in my imagination, the northern city in the Inn will have a run-down doors, rough kang, glowing red quilt, I did not expect that it would like the streets of Shanghai, a teahouse, a fine old teahouse. Inn across the glass, I saw four or five Zhang Mingqing-style tables and chairs. Candle stood tall on the table, candlelight flickered, Jiao-yan's daffodils gently to one side, and sat around the speaker's smile. Indistinct, I know the way airplanes, trains, cars run around is right, I fell in love here.
To meet us is proprietress gentle smile. She took our luggage, took us to see the room. Came front yard, pushed open the door, a wide wide wide courtyard, very clean, the courtyard up a micro-light the fire, lit lit red lanterns. There are several room yard lap, nearly every room are placed on the windowsill, a flour made ornaments, and a section Candle. Pushed open the door between us that and saw a huge bed, clean and white, bed coffee table, coffee table stood snacks and a section of firecrackers. Boss said midnight, we tenants can go into the yard firecrackers, "the New Year on the map to a bustling city." Courtyard, the entire city has been sporadic with the sound of firecrackers, not play in the courtyard of the festival so spread out, let me shed a joy of Yun Zhi.
Back to the front yard to eat. Sound of ancient music in the courtyard there is a zither sound, so he and I both measures less than Fangde "elegant" up and put aside the "Elang" gesture, laughing with the election of the window position to sit down, Point a few samples of the surface point of the name of fun, the famous Pingyao beef, fish soup, but also a little wine.
Incredible, in Pingyao, an ancient northern town so they can consume the word fun, eat to very fine noodles, snacks, there is a very good rice wine. Looked at in front of small bowl, small dishes, Xiaopen, we can not help but have to pay attention to them, so that boss to replace a small cup of the wine glass, "Doraemon" and Peng Zhao cup, drinking a cup of cup of glass. The rise look out the window, across the street is a row of quiet old house. This quiet and let the night I could not help miss Shanghai, Shanghai miss the old house bar.
Been to Beijing Sanlitun, knowing the concept in the north, the so-called bar is a warm atmosphere, a kind of wanton passion, a simple bold. Those bars are very simple, in that kind of night, there is alcohol there are thrilled to have the joy of youth, and only the quiet there is no clear rhyme. In many different places the concept of tourists, Shanghai Hengshan Road, the night is the Naoteng. In fact, Shanghai is the true essence of the night outside in the Hengshan Road. For example, the Bund side of the Richard Hotel, a dilapidated and hard going with the old and famous hotel, has a beautiful and lonely atrium, we focus on carved wood railing, shiny floors, no one, around midnight, you can follow the broad corridor walk, stay with you for the wall on the Hollywood star photo with their footsteps. On a curve, you can walk into the restaurant on the third floor of that between the broken bar, drink some beer, middle-aged waiter there will provide you with elegant service. For example, in the depths of Hengshan Road is also in a nine ileum alley lanes have such a restaurant - Yang kitchen. It was a very wonderful lies. Because of the noise from the Hengshan Road, into, into the Natiao Shenxiang, you will find the world is so quiet and dark. There are some dim lights it, shining deep in kindergarten cartoon alley fence, while the fellow back, and his teeth were shining on a silver pan. Light at the end all of a sudden there is a particularly beautiful old houses there, all like a dream, a local cuisine restaurant on the most exciting end of the dream.
Shanghai Love in the old house nostalgia, in fact, with the same nostalgia Pingyao, different century and the millennium is only the difference back the source of a different culture falls heap Bale.
After dinner he and I were walking in the streets along the bright red lanterns go into the millennium. Suddenly discover that thousand years, Pingyao not the slightest decline of the old state, he is a leisurely, old and homely. Pingyao has four Main Street, 72 lanes, 4 Main Street is a busy hanging lanterns, and a walk in any street, you can see the lanes Yingyingchaochuo, Pingyao ordinary people in this New Year's Eve, it seems street-sweeping habits, in the dark, they stand as the throngs of the same silhouette, standing in the landscape thousands of years, you know it is a beautiful Pingyao substrate. At night, you do not see the small town in the slightest by visitors "pollution" marks down as if those who love life, before the arrival of tourists inspired another small town beauty, and the other clean. All you can not help believe Pingyao of Shanxi has the magnanimity to travel extensively with so little commercial civilization, and all before it in the ancient land stands out.
The most famous walk in the Ming and Qing Street, Pingyao, the Inn is everywhere, a lot of visitors, several of the foreigners married couples, with their children, with fireworks display, one side Peizhao Xiao, Zhong Zhuang stood the inn owner, turned out to be understood "LADY FIRST" principle, that some of the forehead magnanimity, it is seen the world look. One asked, and indeed it done before the boss antiques business, and later sights on the tourist potential of Pingyao, before opening the inn, this foreign-related. He knew too much about what is modern aesthetic, and again and again with his antique collection adorned every corner of the inn, "What kind of antiques do not use an object that is brought Well, what objects are used only good-looking . "Then, the boss is holding a yard dug up last year in the Jiu Weng, inadvertently carved above to us. That kind of look, I am very familiar with. "Sit it." Kind invitation of the owner, is from the north of the simple and honest, people can not refuse.
He and I also Luozuo, and asked for a two cups of coffee, sat in this music, there are flowers, pay attention to decoration of the "Heaven Corey Yuen," inn "bubble with" very comfortable. I know that I found that some cells in the live pan-up, I leaned in the back of a chair, and he did not take a ride to a spoke that morning, the Department of dish, the kind of papaya color and taste, my taste, were unusually sensitive sense of smell up, I know the role of night, I said I did not think in Pingyao, I was able to enjoy such a night. Oh, I always thought the mood of night to find only in the city.
Out the window, a group of Chinese, foreign children were firecrackers Ying-reddening, the kind of glow I Xiangnian Qi "Degut source" of fireworks on the coffee table, and turned back to go, I suddenly knew for some degree of Pingyao of custom-built something. Very fine and, probably, it is custom-made business for the city people something. That stuff does not belong to a small town once those things are being brought into the town's Tourism and Culture, but its combination with the small town everything was so perfect, incorrigible, I was struck by it.
The next morning, wake up, first to see the windows of the red bars and printed with the sun, very beautiful, could not resist, I picked up the camera in bed, all the way gained a lot of room. Incorrigible, I fell in love with Pingyao, in love with this real-life, nourishing live, beautiful and calm life of the town. It is a dream, I think, is a Chinese New Year's dream, just like the day end of the year, I watch a film in Shanghai, "Green Papaya flavors."
