Flying in Yunnan, I am the sky
--- "My Shangri-La Tour" continued
October 2, 2002 --- Wednesday, Tengchong hot sea, Shun overseas Chinese, Dieshui River Falls, the National Memorial Cemetery clear transfer of small rain showers
Tengchong the weather good, our spirit is also very good. Out of the door of the hotel, walking contemplating going there for breakfast. Then just 7:30, the street is not over, there are some lug pole of the hawkers have started selling vegetables door to door delivery of fresh vegetables to the restaurants, and two baskets hanging in the pole 2, the basket inside the clean, fresh vegetables piled have to take a sharp, closer observation of these plants, are unfamiliar faces, most of us do not know. Came to a hotel where we lived not far away from the Muslim restaurant to sit down, to the two bowls of egg Er Si. To ask how the taste? 4 consecutive days since we eat the same eggs Ersi. How would you say taste?
Good to the traffic police yesterday asked Where can I take to go from Atami bus, so very well today, to find the station.
Tengchong is one of China's three major geothermal areas. Billions of years ago, was once the sea, and later the Indian mainland and Asia and Europe where the collision with the seabed uplift of the momentum of an extraordinary Gaoligongshan, while the Tengchong orogeny in this area is the most intense part, leaving the world's most densely volcanic group and thermal Quanqun. Atami is located 10 kilometers south Tengchong, Tengchong County, Atami is located in the geothermal heat center is state-level scenic spots of geothermal volcanic.
Less than half an hour, we came to Atami scenic entrance. This time, very few tourists, the weather is also cool. Atami first entered the door, we found one like the movie "Jurassic Park" where the dinosaur-infested bushes, but also the steam, such as blue smoke usually emerge from the bush from which it is to heat-hole, we are excited to take pictures. Yesterday arrived in Tengchong, we have not found intensive volcanoes and hot springs, is finally able to witness.
Due to thermal Sea region rich in geothermal resources, high temperature, so the growth of some tropical plants here, there are many I have seen in Xishuangbanna. A lot of hot sea plantain tree, Musa has not yet fully mature, cyan, Yingying, and heavy to hang on the trees, bending the branches, the branches also fall with a huge dark red banana flowers.
How far do not go half-way up is the famous "big rolling pot", which is the highest temperature of the sea hot boiling springs. "Pot", everyone must have seen, but such "big roll pan," Oh, surely you are unheard of. Although I have read before to Tengchong, a number of Atami described "big roll pan," the article and photos, but when I stood in the "big roll pan," next time, I can only use two words to sum up --- "spectacular." "Big rolling pot" diameter and 6 meters and 1.5 meters deep, the water temperature as high as 96.6 degrees, around the clock rolling boil violently. Boiling springs surrounded by eight stone slabs into the gossip graphics, steam high into the sky, like clouds travel fog, the water is clear and transparent, suffused with a touch of blue. I think the hot foot, bent down touched the stone, the boy, turned out to be hot! It will make use of local Tengchong geothermal resources in boiling springs surrounded by a number of holes, it is built into the pit for its topography, natural heat steamed rice, boiled eggs, peanuts and other foods, especially delicious flavor. Some local people banding into a strip of straw, each string of five eggs, as hot water tank, 5 minutes and cooked. The strings of eggs, which is "strange Yunnan 18" in a strange --- the "egg with the grass wearing a sell." We bought some steamed sweet potato, sweet and delicious.
Just the "big rolling pot" down, there is a group of women to greet us to do, "their feet, cupping, massage." We both had been consulted before he came good, climbed them all tired after the mountains have to enjoy the hot springs here, their feet can be when the morning before 9 o'clock, the time too early. But the women looked very sincere, the price also offers a lot, people are few, so we sat down. Feet or the water is from the "big rolling pot" where playing up, of course, not just playing up, or else we have to "faded hair" of. Using local resources, the "big rolling pot" water is a natural, alkaline water, skateboarding, and is said to rich in a variety of trace elements beneficial to humans. Bubble the feet, another women are beginning to give us a massage. I have done every week of systemic and foot massage, that is the kind of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture. A comparison would be to know that these women are not really superior technology, but also recover from fatigue a lot. In fact, they had previously been a local farmer, and now more and more people travel, hot sea scenic keeps them organized, set up a "massage team" also be diversified. I've never tried cupping, this has also tried a "pull tank." Women put to a bucket of boiling water, buckets filled with a lot of floating "small bamboo", a pick with chopsticks and a bamboo tube was picked up and the water rejection toss gently to the need for cupping the site a place, just a few seconds , small bamboo tube to firmly pull on the body. In fact, the idea is very simple bamboo where the original hot air, after pre-cooling, air volume contraction, pressure smaller, thus sucking in the body. The latter two of us to pull back, densely filled with small bamboo tube, such as narrowing of the "Plum Blossom piles." Women asked us whether or not to pull the temple has two tanks that can cure a headache, we have agreed. Oh, this time Li Yin and I could not staring at each other a glance laughed non-stop, two temple wore a small bamboo tube like a buffalo horn-like. Cupping the time try not to tamper with, or else will be pulling the skin too Sheng Teng. (End of tanks will pull the skin leaving a round purple mark, I returned to Beijing after the neck there are still Indian children were his colleagues discovered a mockery of a back!) Bamboo tank removed, we lie down In the wide benches, from time to time called massage to our Foot bathtub where women continued hot water. (Massage is the time, but their feet are not limited to time.) At this time to massage their feet more and more tourists, just the empty chairs are now filled with people, there is no chair, and later the person who had crowded in a long article on the bench. To be the person on the back bench pull them altogether after the full tank, each drum the back, dozens of people a slide, several rows thick, which hundreds of people at the scene Cupping is also really makes opening the eyes!
"Big rolling pot," the side of a road you can pass to the "old roll pan," go take a closer look, a bit disappointed because the "old roll pan" was JANSEN ground covered up, has been opened up into a hot spring bath in. She began to Guan Qiao, hot nautical dozens of hot springs spewing Fei Fei, a plume of steam curl vapor, with the sound of the eruption Huchi sound, large stocks of sulfur smell Pujin thick nasal cavity. The whole valley, air waves smoked smoked, Yingyingchuochuo, clamor clamor clamor, such as "fantasyland" General. There is the famous boiling springs hot sea "zhenzhuquan", "toad mouth", "well conceived", "Drum Oriental" and the bathhouse River Falls and so on, its own styles. There are many hot springs hot sea baths, there is one person, one room, two-room, etc., all of these boiling springs where the water play up, after cooling into Zaochi, it was said to cure many diseases. Each bathroom line in front of all, we have no Qucourenao. There are several hot springs swimming pool, so many people, like boiled dumplings. Near noon, when the weather heats up, we began to sweat, the whole scenic spot is like, no, that is a "super sauna room"!
Atami out the door, we and two other young men carpool a small van, they go to Tengchong county, we have to "cis overseas Chinese", just give a lift.
Cis Township is located 4 km southwest of Tengchong County, for a small basin surrounded by mountains, beautiful mountains, is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese. The border between Yunnan and Myanmar, Hwasun Myanmar Overseas Chinese also travel overseas Chinese majority. Cis regional climate and pleasant, no Big Chill winter and summer without heat. Dazhai hometown of overseas Chinese to earn a Linshuei, trees set off layers between the houses, showing faction Jiangnan style. Cis is the hometown of overseas Chinese in the residential characteristics of a great scene, cis houses mostly built in the late Qing and early Republican periods, even after the war and turmoil, but most structures are still well preserved, like the former residence of Mao Zedong's philosophy of consultants Ai, located in Rock Lane called "bending Lou Zi" in Lee and Liu Ancestral Hall courtyard and so on. In addition, it is worth mentioning that cis also has the largest rural library --- "Hwasun Library" inside the glass tubes rich in ancient and modern books and local literature, including many rare books, rare books. In the library, we see some amiable locals inside newspaper, reading. A beautiful environment, ancient folk customs, culture deeply rooted in wonder Heshun hometown of overseas Chinese is a typical 4 in Yunnan Province, one of the cultural ecology of the village.
Prior to cis read an article that came to cis, if they are not of Chinese descent here, only adding to homesickness, sadness, we do not have this feeling, down joyfully lively feel.
From the cis out, take a taxi to the southern tip is located in Tengchong county, "Die Shui River Falls." This is said to listen to the few cities in the country of volcanic waterfalls and little waterfalls, a big Yingjiang from north to south through the Tengchong, encountered a huge fault Shiyan, falling from 46 meters to form. But frankly, after seeing how much a little disappointed. Does have a waterfall drops getting bigger, but the water is not clear, but yellow, dirty, and somewhat unpleasant. (Photographs taken of them okay.)
Die Shui River Falls up close is the "War Cemetery" is a commemoration of "World War II," Expeditionary Force, part of the Kuomintang during the war dead memorial. 40 years of this century, the Tengchong resistance, is the known as the "very edge first city" of the county upon the completion of the worst in a tough fight. KMT's 20th Army expeditionary force after more than 40 days and nights Bosha, more than 9,000 of the bloodshed and sacrifice has made the complete annihilation of the Japanese victory, and finally recovery of the Tengchong. In this battle, has been bolstered by more than 400 years, destroyed the ancient Stone Tengchong, Tengchong in all city buildings are all gone, is truly a "scorched-earth war." (I check the information, we found that the number of wipe out the Japanese are 6,000 people, while we lost 9,000 people. This is because in the beginning of the war are very brave Japanese legend, a kind of expeditionary soldiers the psychological fear that the However, the Japanese army to fight its own; and the first Japanese troops seized the easy and hard to attack the Gaoligongshan as a natural barrier, so Expeditionary Force in the early heavy losses. But then, the Japanese army on the Gaoligongshan a serious shortage of supply, expeditionary force struggling to onslaught eventually wipe out the Japanese.) into the cemetery, we have suddenly been infected by the atmosphere of solemnity. Being the door of the "Martyrs," there Chiang Kai-shek's inscription "river Yue Ying Ling" and "Black Sheep Affair thousand years," Cinei outside the column and some other flying Yingqin Expeditionary Force generals problem together, there are large numbers of records of Inscription, we also Cinei Expeditionary Force that year saw the old soldier presented a wreath. After the Martyr's Shrine of the shaded cypress pine cone under the hillside, bottom-up small tombstones everywhere, every tombstone buried under all the ashes of a dead soldiers. We pay tribute to those national heroes who sacrificed their lives for the nation, a national hero, "Treasure of the Sierra fierce scattering thousand years the Chinese spirit"!
Days, almost dusk, we are ready to return to the county seat of. Memorial cemetery in the door, stopped a taxi, so to know that we chartered a few days after the driver --- Li Tong, a spiritual young man. We see other people are really on the negotiated package in his car to go tomorrow Mineyama clouds and volcanic parks, 7:30 am to the hotel to meet us. The traffic issue is resolved, we have a lot of practical at night to eat a meal of mushroom hot pot restaurant meal.
