In fact, yesterday afternoon, is to the beam River ancient town. Shu River ancient town is now no longer known, perhaps because the local tourism bureau to where the cars are wearing "Longquan Temple" of the brand. In addition to the so-called Longquan Temple in front of a little bit that I saw a beautiful pond outside the temple itself is very poor. Full-called "Longquan 3 Sheng Temple," Trinity, I saw the Buddha, the other on both sides of what should be what the Buddha of Tibetan Buddhism Unfortunately, dimly lit, old fly my eyes is not good, I did not notice anything, but added to see Buddha's right foot under the left hand side has three small Imaging on Ceramic: Goddess of Mercy, the God of Wealth, and Taishang Laojun, perhaps "Trinity" refers to the "Trinity." However, my eyes still see the Dianmen winding corridors of Neiva. There Goi was time for a little blackened surface of hand-painted tiles of the traditional "blessing" of words and other patterns, more beautiful is the bat, a little taste of Impressionism. Later, the new system compared to Tim Watt, ancient tile have a sense of the times the precipitation. Of course, these ancient tiles, have also been part of the rare varieties.
Daoshi beam Changhe Town, has a lot of centuries-old house, and even three hundred years the house. Those who hung the county government "to protect residential areas", and almost all on the centenary of the house. However, this town may also not adapted to tourist atmosphere. We have seen a more distinctive residential (carved doors within the house of "chess painting" and "Ju Mei-lan," and is a rare six door structure), they abruptly break into it, where to see see Furuya, patted photos, talk about feelings, had a moment, out of a man, perhaps the old house owner of it, said a pass something, anyway I do not understand, but accompanied by a Hubei friend says that he is saying that we so come in, do not say hello to play, not like a thief Mody? In fact, stealing, nor will there to steal, because in the old house, the most the most valuable, in addition to outside doors carved wooden window frames, that is, a pig (as to why local people willing to "throwaway" pig in the old residential areas, I am that is because the ancient dwellings are not free to change it is not suitable for people to live, and for pigs, they will not care about the living environment, so what they need in)! You say that we really want to steal it, but can only be stolen doors carved wooden window frames (of course, you see, we do not like the stealing of the people). Stealing pigs, we absolutely can not make come.
Obviously, pigs, we are not, they can not steal; doors, you want to, we will not steal, or that we dare not steal (which is the truth). The most we see is where the ancient buildings, look for the remote mountain country in the city came to a village feeling, after facing the photo could be some lamented his own arty, and My Beautiful Laundrette. Therefore, we dingy back to the ancient Square Street. Said to be Square Street, in fact, is nothing but square-shaped 10-meter square one small square. And Dayan Town Square Street than even the Quartet. Lijiang in the afternoon of the Korea-day light, a streaky stone shines with a strange color, making the sale of those four weeks I feel that Tibetan Naxi souvenirs or we are not familiar with the "Heritage" in stores have cast a kinds of legendary colors. Flurried trance indistinct, I actually saw where the Chinese use a round drum mounted smoke! In the dark old wooden structure of their stores, the ear ringing the stone mason chisel crisp percussion sound, nose full of pine straw smoke, surrounded by wearing denim clothing to do cap-style hat wearing old Naxi ...... you say that this is a what?
Of course, paradise does not exist, so the local shop owner, under the warm greeting, we had to quickly get on back to the town of Dayan's car and left the beam river town.
Today's afternoon (perhaps you wonder why all the afternoon, because in Lijiang: a, sunrise and sunset time, later than in the east at least half an hour, so our work schedules are also followed by migration; b, in the ancient town of Lijiang, the people are mostly used to get up late, very late dinner, late bragging, late to bed, because they do not consider the drive subway, drive train, is speeding up the child; c, as to Lijiang, is to give the soul a bath, and they should not hurried soul How do I get one no matter how excited the old mud), we have traveled to the former residence of John Locke and Lashihai. Locke, surely we all know, and I will not say the (if you do not know, can ask Lingyun, who in April this year, the magazine has landed on a detailed report). His old home, at the foot of the Yulong Snow Mountain Yuhu Village. Yuhu and Baisha Naxi Ren is said to be far the most ancient of the two villages. It might be really is. We went to the beam Changhe Town, although the ancient, but still a lot of brick-wood structure of the house. In Yuhu, many of the house starting from the stone wall lei, and then add a little wooden beams and ceilings. In addition to the only shop a white tile wall, "modern" buildings erected at the primary side, the whole village looked like four decades ago look. Not only the house, even the people are, we are pointing at the drivers, we found the former residence of John Locke, it is not at the edge of a road, but in an alley inside, down the street just outside the walls of the small sign nailed a block read, "Locke's old home here forward," the words, as is also the gray wooden plaque, not the driver that to us, and we really do not know anything about it. But the old home of the Naxi came to the door of the small courtyard, he saw the door of the copper generals. We feel like these past few days will be "internal decoration, will not be received" appearance, and then asked the next door's house, they can not really explain it herself, the most positive answer is "We do not know." We can only guess gatekeeper for people to eat? Later, our driver, or inquiries to the doorman of the elderly in the village idle it (and our driver and he was a relative!), And quickly recruited him, opened the door for us.
Locke's old home, which is a 10-meter square of a small courtyard, three sides of a house in the middle inside that is the Rock place to sleep then eat and drink Lazard. Naxi the second floor of a small building, walked Gazhigazhi on the second floor to the stairs and saw the empty house, only relying on the best place to end, according to the layout of the year, stocked with Locke's shelves, folding table , chairs, and beds. Locke and a few hung on the wall in this room decorations pictures of the past. It should be said here and in the past to save the Ting Xiang, probably coupled with Locke himself, would be entirely in the past the same again. The other two houses are the exhibition hall and canteen, where they also saw that their period of Lingyun "Travel heaven and earth."
Locke's old home, in fact, not much can be read. Perhaps still my favorite of the natural world than man-made. Less than half an hour, it ended the visit here. My heart has been yearning for a Lashihai. After reading the Seven Star cross-country, I right Lashihai "devotedly attached," the. Especially in the heard of are now able to see where the migratory birds, the more I want to go by. Chartered straight bird watching villages, but the result is rather disappointing: Maybe the wrong time, maybe wrong place, anyway, we only saw a few birds like ducks (of course, more beautiful than the ducks). Do not see the large number of migratory birds. (Later to listen to Qiu Lin said, should go to a farm labor camp during the first look at a bird!) Can only be where the winds blow 15 minutes on the back to the hotel had. However, as a natural lake, and Latin American city, the sea is very beautiful. Lu ancient lake is not big, but it looked like a very cozy and peaceful. After reading, I was a bit selfish, I feel there should not be put on the Seven Cross Country held their voices does not look like there look.
Lijiang around these points, can be said to make up for the last time we regret that for the Lijiang.
Lijiang, AD December 26 (weather is still sunny and beautiful, but even the slightest possibility of snow is probably none. You will continue your good work bar!)
