Yunnan, a beautiful place.
In my mind, there had been a dream, hoping one day to go to Yunnan.
Last year, my first trip to Yunnan, and when the train, playing light music, announcer lady with a sweet voice said: Welcome to Caiyunzhinan arrived, I was incredibly excited heart. This is in Yunnan, my dream came true!
This year, almost one and the same day, I went to Yunnan. However, the last took place in northwest Yunnan tourism, the goal is to southeastern Yunnan, mainly to build the water to enjoy the ancient city and Yuanyangtitian. Impression that these two places seem to be better known in northwest Yunnan, Dali, Lijiang and Zhongdian large, but less famous scenery is not necessarily bad places. Just to take advantage of scenic spots not yet been fully developed, tourists have not yet come to a time when large quantities, the first to enjoy what little economic sense to bring some of the more natural scenery.
Program first went to Kaiyuan. In the train station to catch the bus station to open away cars, immediately set out. The hearts of far off locations and other information is basically a blank, since on the road, they go on bar. Anyway, to the post, with their own eyes see, will naturally understand.
Bad road conditions, car dealers in the mountains, the scenery is also beautiful.
Not far from Kunming, there is a piece of Rock Hill. Seems to be Stone Forest, Shilin, but to be far away from the go again. Look at those hills, covered with numerous stones, high-less than one knee, densely covered with a seat a small hill. From afar, shining white stone embellishment in the green, the truly beautiful. From the mountain road repair cross-sectional point of view, these stones are independent each other, as long as the feeling of like a potato in the ground. Believe that, in time, through the Earth's orogeny, these small stones can not be Zhuo Zhuang Wei Chang Cheng-lin. This kind of rock mountain, built in open water as far away as there are many between the appearance, is also roughly the same, leaving far too many of Shilin of course, and felt like a stone forest of the left vein.
From Kunming to the Kaiyuan to nearly four-hour drive, but fortunately is not very high mountain road is relatively flat, change little to the Kaiyuan, feeling is not yet tired. The next few days, to the construction of water, to the yuan-yang, to the Spratly Islands, experience is more difficult.
Kaiyuan is a thoroughly modern sense of the town, more than a modern architecture and products, feel what is here, residential area of ethnic minorities, because they do not wear costumes, but also said if in Yunnan, one I have heard not really understand, but know that tone of voice is almost certainly yes, and Kunming. The city is not, but the planning and development very well. Stroll after having felt the power of modern economic development has been completely assimilated into here. Traditional, local, national, have been hollow.
There is a city called Shanghai River Park, a place that afternoon, all right, it walks walked past. Park, dubbed "Southern Yunnan Pearl", but also some southern-style garden layout. However, if they've been to Suzhou gardens were seen on the necessary re-look at this park, and is simply a minor of. Only with the king of the garden, coconut, betel nut off the tree pineapple, Phoenix sylvestris, etc., embellished out of sub-tropical scenery, Que Shibi Suzhou garden took many special features.
Another good one to go outside, but it is can go look at them. South Cave Scenic Area, about 10 kilometers south in the Kaiyuan place. Nam-dong commonly known as "South Longyou hole", is surrounded by mountains, one facing the dam. In the magnificent stone cliff, there are three clear of the Longtan, surrounded by towering old trees, trees blocks out the sun, fine spring water murmur. Since the beginning from the Ming dynasty, it has been ranked "A fan of eight scenic spots" the first place. A fan according to the state (open the ancient name) is recorded, the Ming scholar Yang Shengan who travel here and revel in the immediate view, and handwritten title "South Cave," the word in 1574, Yunnan governor Zou Ying Longyou later, renamed the "psychic" has more than 400 years of history. Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, the psychic hole has been developed inside the cave, sculpture, statues, Buddhist statues hundreds of respect, also has a Dragon King Temple, Valley Temple, San Juan Hill Temple. Nam-dong Park, melting mountains, water, holes, trees, waterfall as a whole, ringed by mountains, steep cliff. May be a local advocacy efforts on this scenic enough, I went to when not many people visit, almost 32 bar. Into the gate, was a left Linhe the right Bangshan straight road, far too heard the buzzing sound of the water, feeling it was cool. Do not forget, when hot day, but ah, came all the way to go by car, is sweating all over it. Smell underwater acoustic away, move forward tens of meters, emerged in front of rolling mountains, high-peaked need to be looking upward. Yi Ran in a small pavilion on the hill halfway Pro to see if remote, count four.
Down a step, walking is a cool little park, water, sound came from here. Water potential large, splashed the sound very loud, as if the rain just did some great, but last night's rain is not significant. Looked at the introduction, to know that water is from three holes, each with a different name. Each dark holes deep and inscrutable, is said to be the largest underground river in Yunnan as one export. This small park is located under water, or cradle a small bridge, or additions to a waterfall, or water in the stream under the bridge, or sitting in front of the pavilion. Water without boats, Xixi few tourists visiting the West, the East in the garden stroll, under the tea pavilion, but no one on duty. Here low-lying opposite is the Castle Peak, Here is flowing water, imagine to be here pro-cup of herbal tea, for water, rest, when the pleasure of life.
A small hill opposite the pavilion, were built off hilltops, depending on the water and hanging. From the side of the board, feeling as if the high is very far to go pretty soon, suddenly rise pavilions at hand. Pavilions few visitors, some deserted mountain breeze blowing, it is comfortable. Mountainside a road, all shops in order to cement stairs, cis-the former line, and several small pavilions have encountered over. Stand booth, Lex vast expanse of mountains, hidden in the smoke among the few dark holes merged into a river of water flowing down, like floating on the horizon of leucorrhea, haunted Castle Peak. Sandor fresh human palm, was born in trees of the yin, which is quite strange.
Build water is an ancient city, has a long history and splendid culture. In here, I was unimaginable. In the southwestern border could actually have such a small town has a history and culture, how many people's surprise bar beyond. Here, there are as many holes in the world's second Confucius Temple (Confucius Temple), and Chu gardens of Suzhou-style garden, it is luxurious.
Evening, starting from Kaiyuan, nearly three hours of mountain, to build the water already was 9 o'clock. The next morning, the first along the street Xia Guang, would like to see the natural features built Watertown. Walking Jianshui southern half of the street, built in the Yuan Ming and Qing architectural embellishment of various generations of the Long Street on both sides, it is a kind of in the southern town feel. Build Shuicheng mostly the northern half of sub-erected modern buildings, visiting the past, the feeling of the ancient and splendid shape appears suddenly back in the modern, it is already boring the. Monuments built a lot of water, distributed in various parts of the county's bridges, temple and other monuments more abound, more well-known are the Yuan Dynasty, Confucian Temple, that temple, sacred monuments, the ancient pit site; Ming Chaoyang floor, fuel Light Temple; the Qing Dynasty Ssangyong bridge, Tsung Tsin College, Huan College, studying political test, and is satisfied floor studio toast House Department. There is a large residential gardens Zhu, Zhang garden. In addition, the anti-Qiu Yang Zhou Yunxiang stronghold of Heaven's Soldiers towards the uprising, and the former residence of Comrade Zhu De and other revolutionary sites in modern times. Anyway, come here, everywhere is the accumulation of history and culture, ancient civilization, flashing brilliance.
I did not go so many places just down the street within walking distance trip. After a magnificent tall and straight, male town south-west of Chaoyang floor, in front of the famous garden of the Chu.
Chu Chao-ying Chu Gardens is completed before the brothers in the Republic, there are multiple doors to enter. Listen to tour guide talk about the war have been baptized here, have mostly been damaged. Fight in Vietnam period, was the rear of a military hospital and later bought by the local government 500 thousand, but also invested more than a thousand million for maintenance, by its old system, improve its buildings and damage to window edges carved paintings, before opening up. I have been to Suzhou, Tongli, Zhouzhuang, also went to the foot of Huangshan Xidi traditional architecture has been preserved better place, a big old can be considered to have insight Zhaizi bar. But the enormous scale of Chu garden covers an area of 300 mu. The main building was "four vertical and three horizontal" layout of the compound layers, namely, the size of the courtyard as much as 42. Walking in the garden, sensory garden and auditorium layout is very appropriate, do not seem overcrowded, space landscape structured to form a similar "Labyrinth," the same wooden frame buildings. Heard people say that such a huge group of residential buildings, save so intact, other parts of the country is also rarely seen. Zhu windows of beautiful gardens, all have a Danqing carving paintings and poems can enjoy. Every house and do not have the same styles. Especially the verse, a lot of flavor. The ancient name of all those famous poem, or words in which, among a couplet at the main entrance, like a writing culture of the ancient temple. A long walk back and forth In the meantime, read more studied, and have not learned the poem, and enjoyed a variety of styles of Dan-Qing painting, its very fun what! Chu This is not rich, are descendants of diligence and thrift, from the beginning to do long-term employment accumulated wealth, after operating tea, old big tin and opium, with its business, the Antarctic in Hanoi, Vietnam, East and Guangzhou, Hong Kong, quick riches up . However, Chu Chao-ying, I have is a Republican hero, government officials and the military command to build the water, but was later defeated and die abroad and for supporting the Yuan Shikai Since then, Zhu on the slump, and up to now. Did not know now and then to their descendants Chu ancestral Zhaizi years, what kind of feelings? Life is full of people have changed, so I'll wait for the visitors Dao Shi Zhu spare future generations just full of sad.
Able to go far, that is, a famous Confucian Temple. Confucian Temple was built in Yuan Yuan 22 years (1285 years), covers an area of 114 acres, the overall layout of the palace-style use of axial symmetry, imitated style of the construction of the Confucius Temple in Shandong song. I spent a year in Jinan, Qufu was away so close, actually never been to the Confucius Temple, has been cited since that regrettable. Study Tour in the Confucius Temple in Nanjing seen pedant's deeds show that in Changshu, Jiangsu Province have also visited the south of Yushan Master's tomb, but thousands of miles away from the southern Yunnan, Qi year, to have the opportunity to enjoy the Confucius Temple, is also regarded as a privilege . From the main entrance in, face to face is one of Confucius image, backed by a lotus pond, the leaves are green, flowers are red, dotted on the water surface on the one looked, and at the very far quite a lot "to their endless days Hachisuba Bi" feeling . Along the pond has always been ahead, you can get a glimpse of the Confucian Temple Path. Confucian Temple to be more well preserved, especially the gate and the side door. Sect Big Book of "Ceremony door" two characters, antique, it looks like both a large, imposing, another deep and old-fashioned, showing the dignity and solemnity to WEI Wei. 10 disciples of Confucius, the temple is not a statue, feeling a lack of something. Impression may have been the disciples of Confucius and the Kong and put them together. The Temple of Confucius Qufu do not know where is there is no disciples of Confucius. Again where the museum is about the deeds of Confucius, I did not go in, in the Confucius Temple has also studied a lot about reading stories and knowledge of the.
To save time, the afternoon, we proceed by minibus to the yuan-yang.
Well Calls giggle, peace is far away Zai, Yuan Yang's far, far on the horizon!
Tens of kilometers is not a long road, and approached three hours. From the construction of water to sit in Yuanyang Nansha car, in the newly repaired looks fairly smooth asphalt mountain roads, winding to move forward. Minibus on the mountainside, the waterfront by a deep overhang of bottomless Ya, according to the towering mountains, trembling and jumped ahead. In the mountains, never a straight road, 100 meters within a few straight stretches of road, all go around to circumvent the mountain. Around the car while a near 360-degree turn, but turned a Xiao-Po; a moment, turn a few kilometers along the mountains, but in order to reach more than 100 meters across the mountainside. Anyway, I have motion sickness, bad habits, in such a car, like sitting on the wave, do not be strange if it halo. But in order to better scenery, or suffer from is worth it. I remember last year, from Dali to Lijiang, and from Lijiang to Lugu Lake is such a mountain, but also tolerance over, because after the landscape is too worthwhile. Imagine the moment the Yuanyangtitian will be able to see the beautiful, and looking luxuriant hills clouds in the mountains, the Bank of China in clouds, breathe the fresh air, picturesque scenery, the mood also has been happy with does not seem dizzy. If you are not sleepy, or not to squint to bed, and a car Akira a lot and there is no way you sleep, two, from the city come here scenery is in the United States, the mountains a narrow lane and the bamboo clumps of ci years, accompanied by refreshing mountain breeze, misty clouds, near to see matter whether a distance, no matter whether, all poetry is painting. Middle of the driver may be stopped once or twice a rest, if there are mountain people sell boiled corn, and 10 million to buy taste, even if you are not hungry, it's refreshing taste should I not say yes, and very cheap.
Road traffic accidents over there, I learned from Kaiyuan to the yuan-yang back and forth to see three cases. Approaching the Nansha, the car turned a hillside, when I first saw the Red River, such as when the same ribbon, and then they see the road, bumped into a few paragraphs of a truck, lying in the road side, close to the cliff the edge. Do not see if anyone was injured, but the situation is extremely dangerous to their King. Later, also seen being hit by cars and killed a ditch cattle trucks, cows on wheels underneath, has no more. I take a look at the CMB, the driver like a whirlwind to forge ahead, to think for themselves really worried about the insurance not buy it.
Yuanyang Yuanyang terraces are not city (Nansha), but in the Old City of New Street. From the Yuan Yang Spratly Islands in the past, there are nearly 30 kilometers, about one hour bar. Nansha, formerly known as the Southern race, is the Dai language, meaning the meaning of the beach water's edge. Writing in 1956, due to the inconvenience and said the Spratly Islands. Only 240 meters above sea level, Red River, Pai Sha, Ma Su Chai River at this confluence of river flows. According to historical records, the Nansha Islands was founded in 1991, due to the old town New Street in 1989 landslide, in Yuanyang County Committee, the Government from the development of Yuanyang economy, the long-term development of urban proceeding, decided to rebuild the county seat moved to Nansha. Nansha town built in rows on the beach south of Shahe, the original does not have any buildings, designed to bring great convenience, according a modern urban layout, planning and construction, but tourism is also not very innovative, new ideas all in the old City, New Street. After back and forth from the Nansha Islands, I am here, no particular impression, the impression is that it is above sea level is very low, come and go all the way down floating in the sky. Street sat in the car to the new look back at Nansha, shape appears to heaven to see earth.
New Street is located 30 kilometers south of the county seat, more than 1.5 thousand meters above sea level, in the summer here, cool a tight grip, was very pleasant. Out of the car and immediately hit Yigu coolness, and some cold, it may be close to the bar in the evening. In no hurry to find hotels, first back pack, stroll New Street. Uneven topography of the town, the whole town was constructed in a large slope, bus stop is a small square, in the town's central. There is only one decent cement stone road, but with a higher level of the pedestrian street. Dressed in national costumes of the Hani and Yi ethnic minority groups of people on the streets to walk around in groups. More than the locals carrying a big bamboo baskets, baskets can be put inside the debris. Then I go to some villages, we also note that, for living in the mountains, the locals are back to the crops, agricultural products, and so bring it home, and wanted to come to a very easy way of.
Ma Gastrodia wander dark cloud on the top of the hill together Inn found a top room, Tens afar, field of vision is very open, Murano and Castle Peak in the vast dim screen color in the lifeless, the very land quiet nature. Breeze gently blowing, and thus they sat quietly, without a trace of worldly troubles, quite comfortable. "Eagles brutal days who mending their ways; CHARMLAND World Service who hope peak heart rate." This is probably the mood bar. Here is the view Yuanyangtitian bridgehead, but from this point of view, or do not see the terraced fields.
The next day, with others, co-pack a small van, go to terrace.
In the area Yuanyangtitian Ailaoshan is said to be the world's one of the most beautiful scenery. Here, the ground very few areas in the hinterland of Ailaoshan generations Hani live mainly residents of mountain areas. Heard that, 2500 years ago, the ancestors of the Hani of Yunnan from the Tibetan plateau to the south of this frontier mountain, had just arrived encountered a major problem: cultivation of the surrounding valleys are not suitable. Hani people with the national character and tenacious struggle against nature, with both the rise stone wall surrounded the newly reclaimed farmland, but also lead to spring irrigation, and mist-filled terraced to grow rice. As a result, thousands of years, the Hani people have Ailaoshan this part of the mountain into a site of art. Ci Ming Ming emperors had given the Hani people, "Mountain Shen Diao hand", that reputation will be down from generation to generation.
Qing Hau Folk Village is the first of our trip a village, but also first time I saw terraced areas. At first glance, I was shocked. Terraces in front of it is now mid-summer, with the green terraced rice neighborhood chief. Layers, the whole flat, not neat four-type, but the mountain away, naturally bent, forming one or a few, so natural, so do not decorative carving, like a violin's sound board bending, , very beautiful. Stand entrance to the village, you can directly close look at terraces. Terrace from the front corner to corner to land, has been extended to the side of the hill, to see, but the green is thick, not to be eroded by far.
We visited the Folk Village, the village fairly clean, we go back a few more villages, like Meng goods, Sheng Village to clean a lot. Local economic conditions, very poor, the village is a traditional old-style multi-ethnic housing Hani, the same as the mushrooms. In the village, I met a man named Luo US-British-year-old girl, she was the second grade, looks very cute laugh was very lively. Asked her to lead the way looked at the village, also went to see the look at her home. This time, I experienced a great shock. Her house is kind of mushroom house, the room is very dark, was also very tide. To her home, I can describe only two words: utterly destitute! His father told me that because of his poor health, it will not do business, guarding a few acres of land, earn less money, had to make do with this live. Mountains, is their hands create a picturesque terrace, but, at home, so the villagers went so far as to exist! I looked at the girl's schoolbag Romania United States and Britain, which has several national reunification primary school textbooks, has been that she turned very bad, Mo Shangqu Chaochao, and bearing her copybooks written exercises, crooked, and not into the look. Asked her father what the school, he said, are some of the local level slightly inside the Hani people to be teachers, nor formal, children have not been a good education. At that time, my eyes a bit wet, I would like her full address of the next, hoping to, but in my modest for her future studies to facilitate the creation of more viable bar. Which, if my friends went to Jing Hau Tsuen, I've got to bring a small gift on behalf of the United States and Britain to Romania, I am here, said first thank you. (Here's her photo, you can take a look.)
From the road along the way, the whole endless terraced in layers from a mountaintop to extend down the intersection into a boundless expanse of sea, sun and clouds in the alternating changes, the spectacular, magnificent incomparable. A time when the summer, ranking Lao Huzui lookout, my heart suddenly stunned. So beautiful! So beautiful! ! ! At that time only thought of this one simple idea. You can not imagine standing here, the face of a vast expanse of terraced green and yellow, like the layers of clouds, only see the waves rolling in, do not hear sound waves, the sea dotted with several small size of the room, like a sailing boat, floating and sinking in the sea. 3000 mu of various shapes and terraced fields along the terraced fields of the stems looked more like a snake crawling 10000. That is far from the verdant hills, in the clouds among the changes, wink, it seems like fairyland dream, its magnificent words really hard to describe. Here is a photographer who called the world's most spectacular rural scenery; by the French press as the year 1993, the newly discovered one of the seven cultural landscape. Come here, you can not help but marvel not be extinguished, it is the United States to an extreme. Heard that the summer is not the most beautiful, the most beautiful is the winter and spring season. Even so, at this time, where it terraced mountains that have formed the earth's most beautiful scenery.
To look at both sides, much is several ridge terraces in the mountains on a mountain slope, fluctuated, suddenly big suddenly small, suddenly music suddenly straight, or if the meniscus-type ladder, sky or, if the winding stream, carrying green, one to go and well. The hill between the terrace attached terraces, the sun poured down, sparkling, in the vast expanse of whiteness of the clouds in the establishment of the marine body. A pair of France said after the lovers come here to marvel at the scenery, on the terrace between the small house wedding.
Here random walk is a terrace of the scenery everywhere, whether it is early morning or evening walks, the most ideal place to go. Yuanyangtitian under heaven, these words can not be overstated a bit. You can only sigh, Jiang Shan Jing Jiao so many!
I came here just is not Yuanyangtitian the tourist season, not many cars on the road to visit several villages, visitors are not many. In this way, can better viewing terraces, understanding terraces. Here, the terrace is everything, looked in one direction at random, if not some ethnic minorities Murai is the many splendours of the vast terraces. Hill Zhongyun more from clouds, the clouds around the terraces, and some hazy, when, terraces as tame sheep, lying still in the clouds, the mountains, trees, dotted with houses, as the Penglai fairyland; sometimes Clouds clouds rushing , cloud floated here and there by the mountain breeze, terraced fields in the clouds, like a surging tide, beating the exposed cliff at the sea of clouds, or continuously flowing, or blew out. Occasionally be able to see the road, they float on top of the Mangmangyunhai, with terraces, with small villages, constitute a unique spectacle of the clouds, can not fail to allure the ... ...
Yuan Yang, a magical place, the coming year, winter and spring, put on like a machine, I will come back.
