29 (Erhai, Dali Old Town)
Early morning open your eyes, we have to Dali, and so will the hard-seat compartment of a night, whole body's lack enthusiasm has not yet removed. Tours right outside the station staff a lot of lobbying, the car three of us were surrounded by lobbyists to listen to them, speaking in Mandarin accent in Yunnan Province was hesitant, after all, had just arrived know what to do. Suddenly the ear has a difficult voice asked, "would - should - do?" I looked back and is one of many luggage-toting girl, but I immediately concluded that he seemed not Chinese. Asked the one, "You are what country?" "Japanese," the girl replied. We then said, "We are to discuss." In some of the bargaining, we finally decided by 55 yuan / person price of a tour with the half of which is mainly take Dayun large numbers to the Dali's Erhai Lake on the ship for a visit. Wang for small Japanese said, "Let's go together - cheap, now let's go." Thus, we became the four groups. Hurry to eat breakfast as well attend to, but fortunately there are several King of Kings ham can be a temporary bottom. Morning boat people could be plenty of money, in the crowded populations followed our guide on the Dayun cruise ship, but this guide does not seem to lead us less satisfied, always visitors can not find her.
Dali's habit is to oversee the girl known as "Golden Flower", young man called "A Peng," I always thought that they should come from the film called "Five Golden Flowers." Cruise sat in the top-level (third layer) can be seen in all the vast landscape of Erhai Lake, Erhai Lake is an area of more than 250 square km of freshwater lake, the lake there are many fish in the swimming freely. Extremely clear lake, lake of the gravel and plants, as well as the fish are clearly visible, it is obvious where the ecological environment worthy of us to learn to maintain. Although the sun does not mean, but not the wind on the ship polite to welcome guests from afar every one, wait for them to wear their own jacket. Japanese girl Zhihan cold, naturally, we are not exception. Blue sky and no trace of clouds, sitting there where the sun has become our hobby, because it was very warm. Erhai Lake on the snow beside the Cangshan seems more like "salt" some, perhaps because the mountain is too high, there is no snow that shrouded feeling. In the conversation, we learned that the Japanese girl named Aiko Nomura, and our own age, his alone to China to study. Taking advantage of the moment from the winter vacation to travel in Yunnan, Henan ran only four months to learn Chinese, no wonder we struggled a little bit listening to her speak. Japan is very resistant to cold, which is already heard, today was realized that such a cold pressing of the morning, she was wearing a single-pants. She said that the Japanese are not used to wearing less thick, though very cold. It is obvious to see that her face was cold wind blowing in goose bumps.
There are two major attractions on the Erhai Lake, one is a very small island, one is a replica of Nanzhao State (that is, the original Dali) and some of the palace of the larger islands, smaller islands (small Putuo Island) is only a temple (Goddess of Mercy Temple), due to little time, and the tourists, I did not go. I think the most worth is the larger of the island that the island of Nan Zhao style, to the country's royal palace in addition to Nan Zhao and some sculptures to enjoy, the people take a few lingering afternoon a memorable one for the beautiful scenery of the island. The fish can be a beautiful village overlooking the island that, like clouds of smoke and distant waters of the Cangshan vast corresponding away from the hustle and bustle into a picture, but also feel like being on the earth Xianjing, bright sun shine, in this time Block quiet island, just because this group of tourists visit the island to become fresh, I discovered that not to heaven. Have just been cold to take care of the goose bumps, this moment has been smooth the warm sunshine, and fresh air seemed to be no vision can stop something, all you see, what you see is what you love, your praise, all you have experienced the beauty of this life will find it hard and difficult to feel good mood. There is no trace of impurities sky, sea and sky merged feeling you illusion that they are not in the hazy dream Napian coast, delicate fragrance of the garden trees, remote, scattered yellow flowers, is not seen a tree smell their fragrance. Tall and bristling cactus seems like the edge of the desert in a South America, made the shadow of Bi Shu is more like a summer afternoon tea a good place to rest, Yan Yan, paved with natural grass carpet, so you do not endure live to lie above the rest. Really want to stay in this piece of paradise, where there is not going to, like in a dream generally. Large ship's sounding whistles woke the visitors linger really a flute awakened dreamer.
In the boat, we can also enjoy the beautiful two-story Bai Bai moving song and dance and listen to folk songs, and enjoy the Bai people's three tea - a bitter, two sweet, three salt, accompanied by Bai preserved fruit, the taste of natural is unique. Then you tell if someone Butterfly Spring, and three pagodas moving stories and legends, then it would be better. Layer is mainly used in rooms for visitors, where the distance from the surface close, you can clearly see the fish swimming in the water and aquatic plants figure swinging posture.
Down the cruise ship, cruise on the Golden Flower, and A Peng had played their instruments lined up farewell we left. That scene vague shapes of the bluest of blue skies not a good feeling in their hearts.
Bai's family style meal is arranged lunch for our tour guide, very characteristic taste is not bad. But not everyone seems to have been very hungry, and eating speed very quickly. Here, we should also break off relations and tour groups, and halfway stop there.
