According to plan the next day (9 days) to the Hengshan hunyuan see Xuan Kongsi. Long-distance gas station just near the train station from the place we live in close proximity. The previous night at the station to see written on the wall 7 o'clock in the morning the car, while the map is written 7:30 that evening in the hotel there are several points I asked also said the clock was not clear, for fear ride the bus, had been think 7 o'clock got up early to catch the car, then a thought, Hengshan such a famous tourist area should not have a train to go or sleep your fill Zaiqu later proved to be very wise decision.
About 8 o'clock to the bus stations, the stations have no ticket, only a consultation window, in fact, this long-distance bus station Datong is only this advisory function, adding that it's ambiguous! No wonder the night before the station waiting room to see a lot of people dancing, in fact, has been changed to a dance hall. Consultation window woman told me, to the original 8:00 minutes Hengshan has a group of day trips by car, not knowing drove off not, few people may also be no open, go to Xuan Kongsi car parking lot also, she can Take me to also go to my own, I found that she said took me to the price if they seek for themselves than I was a bit higher. To the parking lot a look, go to hunyuan car lot, I found only one line card also comes with the above read, "Taiyuan - Hengshan luxury bus" on the last car, and to have seen before in Shanxi better online friends warned doing here car to be patient, I also do a good job waiting for a train preparation, almost an hour later the car had to stand out, and my heart glad that they are in luck, do not wait that long, or at least more than online friends Fortunately, the situation is not they described the terrible. Automotive Ring opened the circle and found that the direction is not the right track, then back downtown to the horse stopped at the roadside, the driver of the vehicle owner and his assistant conductor there is a group of people who look like they have made cars, they could not understand talking about, after a while they left to go an and dropped us a car passenger, where BS-ing, it was just fight gone. We've been waiting a long time, came a staff holding a camera to shoot a few phase front of cars, vehicle was back on the road, when already 10 more!
Car out of Datong, the face is a good school of the North scenery, flat road on both sides of half-green half-yellow poplar (my guess) the trunk straight to the fast speed along behind, both sides of the boundless wilderness of marginal on the left after harvest from time to time a small piece of yellow could not utter the name of the northern crops, more places are yellow weeds and bare loess, autumn after floating in the earth over the remains are those yellow soil dust. Yellow, I have not seen in a land so clear-cut and uniform, single color, it reminded me that autumn is now in the Loess Plateau. On the road, cars to flip over a hill, with the altitude increases, the roadside poplar leaves less and less, and the mountains, under the noon sun's shining face, the glittering trees on both sides, people seemed into the volumes, see the dream of trees covered with gold pages, and then looked at the valley, where the red and green and yellow shrubs co-exist is another bright-colored world. Can not help but want to get off to a real touch it, bring home gold Zhai Unfortunately, we do not stop the opportunity to feel it can not be more beautiful.
Hunyuan County, close to the time of arrival at noon, the county seat is not, relatively old. Here, I called off, and then a taxi without a license me pulling the county is not very far inside Xuankong Si, although eventually be sold, but such a sale method will not cause too much psychological discomfort . By Xuan Kongsi following that kept the driver said to me in the following can also see the temple, which no, dozens of quick money, tickets went to see a place so not worth so little, and then he could pull me to Hengshan (which is refers to the main peak scenic area), where tickets for little money, you can also look at the eight sites. Xuan Kongsi is the screen name I come to run so far, which place no matter how much money I tickets are to go in the. As for the Hengshan, originally planned plenty of time when the climb about, because I know that in Shanxi Province in this way actually less to climb, although the Hengshan is not known for its natural scenery, but also miss the opportunity arises, there are also looking for what I like the feeling of journey tired, but was delayed due to Datong too much time, I was already aware of the plan is to be abandoned.
Xuan Kongsi built right on Hengshan Xifeng Ping peak valley side of the cliff, where the mountain is named Jade is really almost not see the trees in the gorge in looking, solitary Xuankong Si embedded in a steep, as is the Red Cliff, the reminds me of the cliff nest. Climbed the Temple Diange connecting corridor wrapping, the temple is very small, due to carrying all the belongings with the luggage, and up and down stairs often I get stuck export only sideways by. But here is also a lot of halls, and which enshrines Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism three of the statues, is the only existing temple of three religions. Xuan Kongsi where a large number of sculptures have left me a very deep impression, which were copper, iron, stone, mud in various categories and vivid, dizzying. Xuan Kongsi ancient flutter is what I like, although some buildings and a statue of a little broken, but it made me feel very real, it is kind of old-fashioned to satisfy my desire to Probe into Xun Gu!
Xuankong Si face of Hengshan, perched Ping, upload cliff, overlooking the deep valley, 1500 would not fall steeply over the years, I can not help feeling creative builders of bold, sophisticated design. Of course, the so-called vacant, only about one-third of the building, but also many ancillary parts for the Pavilion, the following wood shaft with long top and stack wood Heng Jia, the feeling is very strong. Xuan Kongsi is said to be able to keep so long, simply asked the site is a great relationship, in the valley of the wind erosion in the Loess Plateau can be avoided in high valley walls can prevent flash floods abuse, built in the west wall on the morning could be dawn of the shine, but also will not be prolonged sun exposure at noon the sun. Brainstorms really admire the ancients, almost taking into account all the factors that affect construction, but also to such a bold vision into reality, I think it should also concluded a number of failures come on the basis of it, right Today, we broaden our thinking and the modern vision should also be very enlightening.
From Xuan Kongsi out the door there are a lot of cars waiting for passengers, seems business is poor. Take me to the taxi driver is still the gate, to 10 county money to pull me back, I think the more expensive, they said I came here by car from the Datong 15 yuan minibus before they can get 5 yuan pull them from the county over 10 yuan is the pricing, of course I do not believe it. Because in the scenic area have heard about a bus back to town, I decided to speak later. However, there has not been trying to get both cars to, it seems not quite reliable, and heard him say that the car is also a private, only many people from work when it opened, and perhaps is true. See a motorcycle in the open to say the money should be four after pulling me back, then a taxi also "reluctantly" dropped by half the price pulled me back, but had just met a few people down, when hailed in the street To the Xuan Kongsi, he actually threw me half way and told me to pull those few people waiting for him to pull me back up again.
Back to the hunyuan county is already more than two in the afternoon, and bought a block of bread in the street look at the first top belly, special unsavory. Look at the map Hengshan and Wutai Mountain is relatively close, to finish here before the program directly in the past, but check the information has not been recognized without a car, and asked that the driver is only the morning, but I think there may be a passing, if indeed can not even go to, and directly to Taiyuan, or else additional day upset all my plans. Heard that afternoon, however, does not necessarily go to Taiyuan. In the county asked local people to confirm there is no car to Wutai Mountain in the afternoon, when a Pakistani to be the county conductor told me that the car had Datong to Wutai Mountain have been here, now, because the tunnel expansion of Hengshan unreasonable, and changed to go to be County He wanted me to take their car to be county transfer. Tunnel expansion I have heard the taxi driver talked about, so from the peak to around Hengshan Xuan Kongsi go a long way, I think this should be true, but then too late, to the county is also likely to be no car to Mount Wutai , because I am the person minibus words are discounted, he said, in order to be able to move I was sitting in his car entirely possible to fool me. Then see the next to the car to be written by the county to go to Taiyuan, I would like to be county seat if the car can not go to Wutai Mountain, it can also be upgrades to this car or the car to Taiyuan, Datong departure, because it is evidently will not open so early. Then check maps learned, though late Datong to Taiyuan, the car has, but not by the Ying County. If there is not one night in the county there is a pagoda to be read, than to waste an afternoon in the hunyuan stronger.
An hour later, I called a road intersection off. The road is also prend episode, not long out of hunyuan China and Pakistan on the selling of votes of the brothers, opened the car on his own, to take so many of our passengers would Peilian, he drove more than a small tractor, encountered along the way slow, but still at a junction nearly hit a large truck parked on the roadside. Let us scared into a cold sweat. I find it very strange, and I seem to hurry to hurry to go out when the time is always encountered on the drive particularly slow. Here is the county seat should be a road outside the mouth, one side is a petrol filling stations, while there are several Shop and stall, some locals might be too much talk, and come together to curious eyes looked past pedestrians and vehicles, volunteer to eat dust. I decided at the junction and so an hour, stopped less than a car on a whim to go to Mount Wutai, Taiyuan. But one hour only see the cars go to Wutai Mountain to the Taiyuan not see a car. Looked at Yang Guan gradual West Ramp, their own shadow getting longer and longer, feel a bit bad, bought a boiled eggs that, after asking a roadside stand selling grass jelly of the fat woman there did not go to Taiyuan, the car, when I right to the Wutai Mountain has lost any hope The answer was not after 4:00, and now too late (I think she should be referring to where the county town of origin, and that intersection should always failed to go after the car in Taiyuan of), my heart has been cold, ready to find place to live, and then casually asked a then go to Wutai Mountain are not, she pointed parked in front of a Pakistani, said, "You go to Wutai Mountain, that does not is it? "I have seen that car, I did not write the above to go there, just a moment ago, when we stopped a lot of people above the noise down to eat grass jelly. Then just pass through the car, that person may be the driver or travel agent who said he could take their car. That is a chartered tourist on board a group header with a unit of visitors, they are very warm and hospitable to me chat to me like an unaccompanied travelers expressed a great deal of curiosity, admiration, including difficult to understand. But that owners are not so polite to me 40 yuan, and said Xiangui other up, and then only submit to humiliation. Those days car experience tells me that in Shanxi toll is still very cheap, and they want that price is certainly an opportunity to fleece the.
Finally went into the Wutai Mountain, and I grow a deep breath. That afternoon, a little bit of experience of the taste of Yau Yat Tsuen Liu floral names, so maybe I sincerely touched by the Buddha, maybe I was destined with Manjusri bar, to the Wutai Mountain, I left the whole of the four major Buddhist mountains in China.
19:00 With that many tour groups to Taiwan Wye town of Red House Hotel, the role of lighting the outside looks as if getting bigger, but also tour live, which is a look at small hotel, the disadvantaged, too late and too lazy to look for asking price, the manager of Mo Yang who solemnly told me that here, more expensive, could be introduced cheaper to me and ask only that 60 yuan a night, in my mind, almost laugh out loud, perhaps because they were the eyes of people like me is certainly very poor can not afford to tour with only one person out of the Rangers. Results night live, where the price is the same with that group, lower than at the beginning says a lot. However, stay there a bit later regretted it, conditions to be very bad, cold, so I suddenly feel a bit sad in the morning brings a tour group that has long been awakened. Wutai Mountain in autumn has been very cold, and covered with little stiff little quilt I did not warm the frozen middle of the night kept awake, and later to another also brought a blanket cover only fall asleep.
