Flying in Yunnan, I am the sky
--- "My Shangri-La Tour" continued
September 28, 2002 Saturday, rain Lijiang
Morning, 9 o'clock, and we sleep the natural wake. And his wife had breakfast ready for us now branded Lijiang Baba and Zhuji soybean meal. Wow thiophene, that incense! We eat a two Lijiang Baba. This round Lijiang Lijiang Baba is the most common form of staple food, raw materials are flour, add sugar or salt, in the baking pan in the Lao Cheng. Zhuji soybean meal is mushy, like porridge, have a hint of green, healthy uncontaminated food.
Chibaohezu, Li Yin and I are out the door, the sky is still inundated with rain, the air damp, and cool to. 51 years time, the air is very dry, so this time we also brought along a deep moisturizing cream specially appears to be of no little use for a. After a "sanyanjing," there is a roadside inn, called "QIAO Jia-garden." And went in, which a few friends kind enough to greet us, Tingkou Yin, or northerners. 1 inquiries, one of which Peking Man, but also out of his own jeep, and drove all the way to play all the way from Beijing to Lijiang, has been more than in January, and envy! There is also a young man today to go to Tengchong, I heard that we are going to want to go along together, but we arrived in Lijiang, have to spend a few days of small, time is not coincidence. Asked him to Tengchong line, he has taken is my summary of yesterday, on the 2nd line. And this bit "Mix" back to us with an important message - today's "Big Paul" formally opened to traffic, it was a big good news! I decided to call directly to the Dali long-distance bus terminal, so that you can confirm this information is accurate.
House next to the wood, there is an Inn called "Wooden Classic Inn." In fact, 51 years, we have to commute from here have gone through I do not know how many times, but they did not go off once. Psychologically, people are sometimes very subtle, such as entering into a vegetable market, each selling the same things, but usually will not buy things at the first pitch. "Wooden Classic Inn" is located at the entrance to the ancient city of Lijiang, probably this is the reason we never visit the bar. Then rained some secret, so we go in rain. Oh, this is located but it is still pretty good! In particular, worth recommending is the second floor of the tea-room chic decoration. Yunnan unique "big hat" into the shade, the old pattern of the door cover on the hollow glass as a table, the room floating thick scent of lily. Two packages, the "concept of comfortable" and "enjoy freedom", as we feel the same as in Lijiang "comfortable view of Lijiang, free to enjoy leisure." Now in the morning, few people in the early morning to tea room, there is no guests, but is said to the guests a lot of the afternoon. Looked out from the second floor is a wood outside the government, in the middle twin appointment in a path, the same architectural style, and something like a wooden part of the government.
In the rain washed shiny stone on the road, we slowly forward, in front of an old umbrella caught my attention, he wore a sleeveless jacket design is very beautiful, is a traditional bat bai shou patterns, workmanship is also very particular about the most important thing is that his behavior somehow so different, laid-back, aloof but solemn. Go to the side of an old look, you guess who? ! Who is a 94-year-old Dongba! "Quick, quick, quick camera!" Woliang become like groupies, like take pictures quickly to stand beside Dongba. Unfortunately, the old Dongba know the Chinese language, or else I really wanted to talk to a few words, and the wise man will certainly benefit.
Through the Square Street, we go to the "big beard" selling Chinese knot of "Fu" series, the store's younger sister said that he went out for dinner, and one will return. Then go near the "Square Street teahouse," tea bar, in addition to that we have recognized the father and son owner of Fujian outside, and there are a small owner, the original co-father with two sons take care of business. When the tea at the end, our paper bags are stuffed full of tea. And then came the "blessings" series, "beard" also came back to see we are very pleased to have invited us to sit down and chat. He is now growing in booming business, not only in Chengdu opened a special jade processing factories in several cities to open a branch, but also by the end of October to participate in the China Arts and Crafts Masters Competition. Right sex, the beard of his works are about to play out to show to us, and we Zai Zai to enjoy the thin one piece, the store attracted a lot of customers have stopped watching, there are a lot of asking price you want to buy . Beard is very stubborn, "these are not selling! These two are my friends, I did give them a look." ('s Nice to feel privileged!)
Today also think of at the Bay "green Sessai" to see, in 51 years, he is preparing to establish the "people of Lijiang Old device Museum" has now officially opened to the. If you have not been to Lijiang, may I say there is no concept of these names. Is that, outside the Lion Rock at the foot of the ancient city, there is a reservoir, known as "white Longtan," the people of Taiwan in Chung --- one came here, it will be white-white Longtan Longtan, together with the adjacent semi-permanent seat at the Lion Rock contract down and built one at the foot of the mountain named "green snow vegetarian," the tea-room built halfway up the mountain is still an "old device Museum." This time the point? Yu Yong and our warm greetings, but the yard a lot of workers are moving things, he does not rest assured that away, called one of his buddy took us to the museum to visit. Are hill walking, I started worrying about Natiao named "Bear" Tibetan Ao. " 'Bear' grow it? Bites it?" We asked folks, "grown up, several individuals of the Du Yao!" (Later I asked in the Bay know, there are several people in the "Bear" is the time to eat It is funny to see it ignored, on the old funny it was "Winnie" was finally given funny urgency. I think these people are self-inflicted, funny what is wrong, but why tease Tibet Ao!) In order to be safe, specialized in Chung to the "Bear" repair of a small house, and presented a small courtyard and a 10 square meter! It is in the house to sleep in the yard running. Six months of age of the "Bear" really grown up a lot, but not yet grown into. The last years, when it is love bite shoelace, and now love to bite the bones. Perhaps it was because childhood together with people, so we do not see from its eyes Xiong Guang, but we dared to touch him. Yu Chung museum show was acquired from a nearby rural areas to some of the old objects, most of them for daily, visitors can understand Lijiang's past lifestyle and customs. There are many things that are hundreds of years, "said Bear," the mission is to protect these cultural relics, it is very competent.
Went to the dinner time, we came to the bustling "bar street", "Phonon" has a Menlian on this street, but he is not in the shop young girl told us that they, and who phonons Mr. fat out, "he does not always make good business, it is always thinking about playing the game" mantra that the young girl. Lijiang, our friends a few inside phonon is the only one not good at doing business. He also maintained that the artist's unrestrained lifestyle, open a shop just to provide him with a steady income, a rest period of time, he too eager to go to Tibet to collecting folk songs, and comes back with new inspiration, the accumulation of new material, re-creation of new works. It seems to artists and businessmen to find a balance between the parts is not easy.
One day to find old friends are busy chatting in the evening he come not to the terminal Dali call tomorrow will certainly be completed!
