Airliner flying at altitude of 9800 meters, after almost three hours to reach Kunming Airport. Fight to Kunming Flower Market stroll around in a circle back, flew more than 40 minutes, we finally stood in the Lijiang piece of the coveted land. At this point it is 19:00 and more sunny (please forgive me for the three dog days of "beautiful" to describe the sun), breeze slowly, as if into another world. The air is so fresh, everywhere Aoyama blue sky, white clouds around. Hearts can not help but burst of cheering, that is what I have longed for a long time in Lijiang.
Airport shuttle bus to the Old Town of Lijiang not open late, hope the weather getting late and we simply return to a package of luxury taxis, tens of minutes after the car into the old town of Dayan Town, saliva car parked in the city side.
Out of the bus into the city. Found in the ancient city free of charge, and be allowed to walk.
North Korea Gusu speech outside the evening to Caiyunzhinan. "Plateau Gusu" indeed well-deserved reputation. Slowly suck a foreign country, and a great split step in large research on the town of Tea-Horse Road. The ancient city of a foreign land thousands of miles away, greeted by the familiar strands of the kind. Road section with the streaky stone paving, roads and drains are accompanied by clear-Lu Jie. Suzhou is "people to make pillow River"; Lijiang ancient city, then the springs around the house, Chueiyang Bangshui, let those of us from heaven Gusu people are surprised at the simplicity of her natural, elegant tranquility.
Initial Lincheng, habitat stranger, and we follow the flow of people or streets to go look inside. Days has been some light rain, no time to scan markets, rushed to find the International Youth Hostel, a question still vacant, Qiexi. Registered accommodation single time, a glimpse of one side there is block logo, poster reads: "suits and ties are no entry!" It's cool visible. Xie Kouqi backpack down, take a look at this like a walk at night to go out and find local snacks Jiejie Chan. Unexpectedly, the more rain the next larger, but also surprisingly cold. Replaced long-sleeved, in the downstairs restaurant and book bar Satoki table, a point of pork chops were sitting, with a cute kitten has done a moment the game. Book bar where half of them foreigners, looked at books quietly drinking beer. 2 foreigners written Meier front of the computer, the computer input method is really complete, Tibetan, Chinese simplified, Japanese, Korean, everything. Children to catch up with the empty dish, Coolfires shells of the moment guitar, water reveals a side of the window leng breeze, raindrops hit the river on a wooden bar at the mosaic, and the string sounds with Coolfires singing. We have smiled under the soft lighting and chatting, eating. Thought to be got up and left, almost midnight. The first night in Lijiang ancient city, was actually so leisurely and quiet.
Early morning, a little Dalmatians awaken the dream, knocking our door. Cool and pleasant morning, the beginning of the current red, sun twilight. Hurriedly washed finished, hug cute little Dalmatians, Hopewell Chang Ying, leaving the hotel, feeling a plateau Gusu morning. Different kind of exquisite, giving different kind of mood. Only when the environment changes, in order to understand their own emotional fluctuations, were right. Quartet in the roadside shops taste Lijiang Baba table, drank a bowl of porridge, a stroll to the city of saliva car side to see the sun for us User Sunny in Guangzhou, the passenger transportation center with rush to buy the lake in Lijiang tickets.
To return to Old Town of Lijiang, Lugu Lake is three days later we returned. As it was noon, the sun hot. Back to the International Youth Hostel threw a backpack, lightly armed civilian clothes, standing in the doorway with the service, Wang 2 car Namu chatted for a while, and Wood, Sunny, Coolfires together, opened a stroll of the rack, ready to wander where to eat Where, where to buy where to drink. In the Old Town of Lijiang, feeling isolated, away from modern civilization, without a clear notion of time, hungry, eat, thirsty to drink, tired, sit, you eat the Meirenlihui breakfast lunch or dinner.
We are on the roadside shop to try a bowl of delicious chicken bean jelly beans, slightly spicy, smooth and delicious. Square Street to go towards, smooth stone path, one side is the old trees Pong depend on rivers, flowing with clear snow melting Yulong Snow Mountain, one side is exquisite wooden shops everywhere, mostly coffee bars, small restaurants and crafts. Half sitting in the bar were drinking beer, relaxing foreigners who were full of people feel in the ancient city filled with exotic.
City streets, "Square Street" as the center extends to four weeks, forming a road network extending in all directions. Street flow shuttle, national costumes of different, multi-cultural blend of convergence. We are street to street, bridge Probe into. Stone Street, flowing water, small bridges, Chueiyang, huts, and sometimes a little corner is a Colorful hospital, the hospital door, there is "to protect residential areas," the plaque. Are walking a little tired, to see the Stone Arch bridge into the water of small steps, there are several people who look like students sitting on the piers on the water, wading and paint eager to 1:00. Did not take a bath in the lake where we must play in Lijiang, a small river, playing in the water.
Take off shoes to socks, rolled up trouser legs, standing on the gravel under the springs, the wading Nuebu, cool Such is Life, fatigue, heat Dunxiao no better happy. Opera playing in the water, enjoy a small moment playful element, but no User down with my fun, had to stop there. Barefoot landing at Shek Street, a moment of discomfort as much speechless, simply a portable the shoes, the camera hung around his neck, continue strolling. Naked with a single step of the Old Town of Lijiang, lubrication cool, unrestrained, free, and unrestrained. Poems says: "Happy Spring plumbing duck prophet", which Lijiang water heating and cooling and Stone Street, lubricants, it seems I am the only full experience of a pro. Dongying the pedestrian streets, including two women were back to the sea in mind that some alternative thinking is not done, so that there was a few fancy little bell Dongba paper, into the shop open when I asked: "Barefoot to be able to come in? "
Old Town of Lijiang, suitable for everywhere wandering around aimlessly wandering, to forget time, forget everything, of course, do not forget the money with me. Tired of stuffing a seat, sitting near the water, a cup of tea, a simple look at the minds of the next stretch is not well-developed limbs, hair daze think about their minds to see running water, tours tours Meimei, to relax every nerve of each muscle every pore, while allowing their own eyes and taste buds. Here is free and easy leisure freehand sun, where the sun rise for you. Must take the ordinary day in the province, the calculation of time saved, where a lot of chic to a lot of flowers, a half-day sitting.
I am tired of the back to the hotel shower and then out, out, when the BBS in the front of the hotel to see a number of sign with peer messages, chat with several Taiwanese students had to chat about, thinking about re-sign both the same to the tiger dancing with the Shangri-La, a sizeable sub-package fare better result, everyone's not on the run-length arrangements. Found, an excuse Wood, Sunny, Coolfires, in a stone bridge near the water side sat the point of noodle for dinner. Drifting across the water from time to time in light of the lotus lamp, beautiful and mysterious. The sky is dark when the saw back to the hotel in Lijiang User necessity not seen more than two years, everyone in the book bar drinking beer together in chat. I was drinking a half drunk, speaking nonsense, middle of the night before the inevitable goodbye. Wood to go to bed early, Sunny is alone Paojiu Ba went.
Get up the next day, the sun is still bright. We sat down in the book bar the point of the eggs, milk, porridge. 3 small Dalmatians play roughhouse around us, from time to time and cross my armpit, head out into the table, looked at me piteously, so I felt as if they were not to eat is a sin . With the bird sitting on a long wooden bench in a pekinese is even more blunt, scene from simply moving the butt end of my eye too much of its site. After breakfast, bought it yesterday, carrying a pile of Dongdong, Coolfires go with the parcel. Passing Naxi ancient music performance venue, I walked in the door, no go. Anyway, I went also to pig piano. Mody have a saying: "Do not try to teach pigs to sing, so not only wasted effort, but also angered the pigs." I do not own angered himself.
Back pack, out of the Old Town of Lijiang. Did not want to terminal when the shuttle did not go to bridge. To find a face in the ticket office, and happened to come across a couple of the same to the Tiger Leaping Gorge, the results of six people with the package a car, went straight to tiger jumped. Yes ah, re-live some days I do not want to leave.
