First, my husband before departure (ie, "husband" in Ya name) to take annual leave has stimulated little granddaughter summer, where play it? Typhoons this year, very little patronizing, heat intolerable, we should find a cool place to go for a summer we go. Everybody says that Dali, Lijiang scenery is good, located in the plateau without heat, it decided to go to Dali, Lijiang tour a bar.
Before starting first prepared. First, check the weather conditions online, ah! Where only 17 ~ 20 ℃ ah, so the trio of autumn clothing and footwear are from the churn out of the box, put into everyone's shoulders back bag, which was also put on a play with the hand bag when attractions, as well as camera , binoculars, etc., really busy for a while.
Followed by reference not to participate in tours of the issue, after the family discussion, agreed that the Staff Committee or not good. Because we are an old married couple already five, 60-year-old granddaughter with only seven years old, old old, small, small, and that travel arrangements for tours are tight, and we certainly can not keep up. Then only the "self-tour" of. So then Internet search sites, checking train and car, checking hotels and hotel situation, and to read the User's comments. Not found satisfactory map, and went to bookstores to find, buy a book specifically for the tour prepared by Dali and Lijiang, "Dali, Lijiang Travel Practical Atlas" (Guangdong Tourism Press). (The book turned out very good, where they often take in hand, walked to the shining of view, is indeed very practical.) All ready to start啦.
Second, go to Dali
August 1st left early, climbed smoothly in Guangzhou to Kunming 1166 times Train, 9:00 punctuality out more, it should be half-past three the next afternoon arrived, and then transfer to the Dali. But the next morning after 5 am, the train stopped and is no longer move forward, just as travelers were becoming more and more anxious and so only when it was originally heard in front of the tunnel where the derailment occurred in trucks, and now repairs yesterday's This Train the past but had failed to return. Gosh, we do not, unfortunately, to do it? Many people, "Amitabha," "God bless" to lips opened, and hope the gods give us good luck bar! I do not know God, Buddha or a spirit appeared, and saw that our 9 o'clock train slowly switched on, is not the way forward towards open! That's great!
Car slowly through the scene and saw the rail next to the upside a steadily empty trucks, piled on the ground from a truck unloaded a number of years of coal, the tunnel where there are many road engineers standing on the roadside, they wear the helmet and face adhesive coal and sweat, are watching the train passing through. I could not help gently waved his hand, said to them: Thank you, salute you! (Because it is air-conditioned trains, the windows were closed Yan-Yan, is the calling have not heard of)
Last half-past nine in the evening train to Kunming station, but we must ride to Dali's car is more than ten, and we Laolaoxiaoxiao, still carrying bags large and small, to come out of sub-station to buy a ticket it is too difficult! We immediately find the staff to discuss the platform, just in case of an amiable Lao Dajie, her hand one finger to another site, said: "Dali's car to go over there, about to start, and quickly go, you can the first replacement ticket on the train again. "ah, it's great! We quickly toward that trains the next tunnel. I did not expect that when we ran breathless from the tunnel site, that's the train had been set in motion! Hey, no one to ten ah! How to do? Hotel stay there so the next day to go find it?
We sadly watched the train go away, ready to listlessly out of station, who happened that they met Sister. She saw that we did not catch up with the times a car said: "all right, there are twice-Jin Er car, now is the peak tourist season, added several trains. Zaiqu that your site, and the other side of the parked car is to Dali , and went to the conductor said, Well. "ah, she is not a Bodhisattva change, pointing specifically to us? ! In this way, we are finally on the train to go to Dali, but also get a sleeper. Drowsily sleep a night, the next day on the 9:30 we came to the first destination - Dali.
Speaking of Dali, we originally did not know that it has three meanings: Dali Bai autonomous Chau, Dali City, and the ancient city of Dali, we are now the train arrived in Dali City, it is the city of all places, but also the capital of self-Island, which includes two urban areas - the ancient city of Shimonoseki, and Dali. Because it is in the ancient "Silk Road on land the South" and the connecting Yunnan to Tibet's "Tea-Horse Road," the intersection point of modern Burma, Yunnan-Tibet Highway and the general railway is also in this intersection, it has always been important in western Yunnan transport hub. Shimonoseki and the Dali Old Town Lane hostels and hotels abound, accommodation is not a problem.
