Flying in Yunnan, I am the sky
--- "My Shangri-La Tour" continued
This is the third time I go to Yunnan. "Yunnan in the end there is what attracts you?" A lot of friends have asked me this question. I think everyone in this world to find that one of their own sky, is like looking for his lover in general, about the plot of my days there in Yunnan.
Remember in my last article "My Shangri-La Tour" at the end, once wrote, "Next time I will go to Lijiang - Tengchong - Ruili" do? I came again, but the trip there is a little adjustment, Lijiang - Tengchong - Yingjiang, a total of 10 days, re-record the travel diary to share with you.
September 27, 2002 Friday, Beijing - Kunming - Lijiang Lijiang rain
Yin Li and I took annual leave early, so everyone is still sitting in the office when the pitch darkness, we have boarded the plane to fly to Yunnan Province. 7:50 am the aircraft took off, and shows that we travel anxious, 10:30 arrived at Kunming. This experience, and direct air ticket to the second floor, one asked around and found really nice surprise, 12:30 Lijiang flying aircraft, do not stay long at the airport. "A good beginning is half, it seems this time we will travel very well!" I Yin Li, said she has a look of pride, "That, of course, before they come, I worship the Buddha, has promised the would like to do ! "No wonder, it seems too would also like to go back she would have had.
At the airport to Lijiang and I called in Mr. Long, Mr. Xiang He informed that we will arrive in Lijiang in the afternoon. In fact, I give them a few days ago, husband and made a phone call, and heard the two of us have to come to Lijiang, and husband and very happy and give us leave the room. Ah, one of Mr. heard and Lijiang accent, I felt exceptionally warm and feel from the Lijiang has become increasingly closer.
13:30, we again set foot on the land in Lijiang. Blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains and the Naxi people dressed in national costumes, those who often appear in the dream scene alive again, jumping into my eyes. I am deeply breathe in the air this long absence, but the familiar mind quietly think: "Lijiang, I'm back!"
Lijiang has been raining the past few days, so the weather a bit cold. Sit down at the airport to the Lijiang airport bus, half an hour later, came to Lijiang county. Glance right and left between the last time we suddenly found a chartered driver Xiao, Li Yin called out the sound, "named Xiao Liu, named Xiao Liu." Unfortunately, little Liu busy driving, did not find us.
Long-distance out from the station, we are very familiar with and considered Lijiang, there is no taxi, we walked towards the direction of Old Town of Lijiang. Results do not know how to actually engage in the wrong way around in a big circle, and only to the house of Mr.. Way too Chung "green snow fasting", the found that many students are lining up to the castle. His "Folk Museum, the old device" was finally completed, and to see so many people, the hands of another luggage, we decided to find time to come back, anyway, there are several days then.
Mr. and go to work, only his wife at home, are packing the room. Naxi Women's really hard work, a huge courtyard, there are more than a dozen rooms upstairs, downstairs, all rely on one sweep, but also Ben clean! We have considered tourists come in earlier, and there are some of the rooms empty, and his wife so that our own chosen at random. We looked at some up and down and decided on the second floor settled. Mr. and renovated family room, new for the Simmons mattresses, blankets and sheets are all new, white, very clean. On the road a bit cold, to see the soft quilt, feel a burst of warmth to the heart, a kind of feel at home. At this time it is the season of blooming orchids, which pots of orchids in full bloom, and only be able to see in a garden to be, but it filled the house of Mr. and courtyard.
Was settled when the husband and come back. We heard in the upstairs of his resonant voice: "Xiaopeng, you have come!" Not too many greetings, and we already had an acquaintance.
Today, we have two important tasks, it is necessary to the terminal to check there from Lijiang to Tengchong long-distance car, second is scheduled to fly from Kunming, Baoshan ticket. Because after careful study, I think we should be No. 6 or No. 5 early evening flight from Kunming, Baoshan, so as to catch up with us on the 6th at noon on the plane back to Beijing from Kunming.
In the house of Mr. and brief rest, we have to go out. But the 6 o'clock to come back, because husband and said he wanted us to do meal authentic Naxi style meals, we are also not finding a way out of.
Sky fluttering misty light rain, a slight coolness. To the long-distance passenger transport center, query results, there is no direct access from the Lijiang Tengchong car, but there are two kinds of moves to reach the Tengchong.
A ride from Lijiang Ruili, the sleeper cars bound for the next day, start the evening, via Baoshan, we learned from Baoshan to Tengchong sub-car. From Lijiang to Baoshan take up to 12 hours, Baoshan to Tengchong, there are still about 3 hours. The fare from Lijiang to Baoshan, with 52.5 million cars from Baoshan to Tengchong a lot, you can a few people to fight a small van, about 20-30 yuan a person.
Advantages of this rail link: compare car at night to save time, went to sleep one night, and not to delay play during the day.
Disadvantages: Happening less secure, especially our two girls;
Driving at night can appreciate the scenery along the way;
Poor road conditions, need to climb Gaoligongshan, compare turbulence;
The next day start, we are scheduled to leave on the 30th of Lijiang, just no car;
Without high-speed express train, condition poor.
Summary: whole journey takes 15 hours (not including transfer time), the fare is about 80.
2, first by car from Lijiang to Dali, train number is very large, one-hour intervals, travel about 4 hours, 50 of money. And then take the car from Dali to Tengchong is said that "Big Paul (Dali - Baoshan)" high-speed road soon in the "11" This is the opening a few days, but the specific date for opening is not known. If you take the old road, then, from Dali to Baoshan need 8-9 hours.
Advantages of this rail link: from Lijiang to Dali's condition, and road conditions are very good;
If the majority of the opening of Paul, then from Dali to Baoshan only 3 hours, condition and road conditions are also very good.
Disadvantages: Big Paul did not know the specific time for the opening and can not journeys.
Summary: whole journey takes 10 hours (to go Great Barrier Road) ,12-13 hours (take the old road), full fare is unknown.
In the case of incomplete information, and we think we should inquire again about to look up flight information, if direct flights from Lijiang, Baoshan, it would save a lot of time on the road.
To leave the terminal, we went to look for air ticket. "Look! Look! This is Who?!" Yin Li finger along the direction of a look, even on the roadside discovered the "phonons," he is still the same as before, wearing comfortable sweaters, foot sandals, but less head hat, appears to lean a little. He also recognized us, and quickly stepped forward and shook hands. Phonon next to a fat President, I heard from friends from Taiwan, ready to go with 11 after the phonon Tibet collecting folk songs. "How? You two ready to Lijiang after the long-lived?" Phonon asked us, me and Yin Li laughed, "Maybe!" "Tea at night to my family, my wife and son were at home then!" Phonon invites us, "will, will, we just arrived, had to wait for several days then!"
Flight query results are not from the Lijiang Baoshan fly the aircraft, it seems we can only take long-haul truck had; but bought a 5 nights from Baoshan, Kunming, flying aircraft, Return regarded as basically implemented.
6 o'clock, we returned on time and the house of Mr., one into the courtyard, a surge of food scent on the face descend quickly, greedy get us straight Yankou Shui. Good a sumptuous dinner table! I was surprised that the original "chicken soy flour," not only can be made into "chicken bean jelly beans," when the cold weather, but also to eat fried, fried with eat, eat a good variety. We quickly brought the camera, in this table have not become our food belly meal time, rushed down according to their never included.
Somehow, as long as one to Yunnan, my appetite on the Xian Zhang, Yin Li is the same. We are laughing, eating, even went to husband and lives on a chatter. Eat over, Wolia decided not to go out tonight, and talk talk to Tengchong line, early rest, starting early tomorrow.
In Lijiang, the house mostly from wood, and resistance to earthquakes is an important reason! Mulou, wood, wood floor, lying on the Wenruan wooden bed, leaves the listener sent light rain fell on thin Susu voice, I am pragmatic and sleep.
