Last year in October, he quit his job, I excitedly got the back pack, embarked on a journey to Lijiang. Is not the first time I went, and two years ago, when the Spring Festival, once a cursory trip with a friend, but then suffered from holiday too short, some only in Lijiang skimming over the surface. This time, however, is significantly different from the restoration of freedom of the body, have a little savings, you can leisurely blazing in Lijiang, stay for some time, perhaps, but also a little bit what Yanyu it, Hehe.
October 12 Bar, after a night train and one day run around the car, I am finally in the twilight so I have in mind to re-enter the ancient city of Lijiang. Because it is low season, accommodation is very cheap, I live in the ancient city of Shangri Inn, a live three-earth, very clean, only 15 yuan a night, compared with the spring festival, crazy expensive prices, I am so happy turn of mind days . Out indiscriminately to eat a little, visiting for a moment, because Ting Lei, the Inn on the back rest.
Where in the ancient city for several days wandering around not many people, every day is sunny. The ancient city where there are many kinds of food, but also very cheap, my slander naturally smiling at the mouth of a cat.
In Lijiang eat first ton parasites
The ancient city, there are a noodle shop selling Yibin, Sichuan burning surface. The so-called "burning face" is noodles and finish it later, drain water, mix with chili oil, peanuts and other spices to reconcile at the end is made soup on the other, eat one, spicy cool, and extremely fragrant, feeling the burning throat, " burning surface "probably hence the name bar. Of course, doing the master said it was chili noodles is very easy to ignite the oil, then it is another way of saying the. I love spicy food and therefore I very much liked the burning surface. Do not remember swinging to the first few days, and at noon, I eat here, another personal Huang Dao burning surface. Small Noodle House Li Ren a lot and I eat noodles at the same table is the two boys. A fat, grown very open love, while the other a tall thin, very gentle, not like the locals. Two people staring at my face and saw a long time, I self-serving Kuangchi endless, hot blush was sweating. Finally fat little brother who can not help but ask me: "the little girl, you eat what is face ah?"
"Burning face!"
"We also come to a bowl of it."
In the end, both of them face a bowl of burning or not finished, because too hot (to them). We had a chitchat up, fat one who Xinghu, I called him Brother Hu, while the other one is the brother of completion. Brother Hu was to travel from Guangzhou to Lijiang, fell in love with the laid-back life here, so quit Guangzhou is also a high-pressure high-paying job, however, to Lijiang to live, since the words Hunhunee in Lijiang, a four to five months of Gone with the Wind. Hu speaks fluent Japanese, Costa Rica, usually with a tour occasionally to act as a Japanese tour guide, Zhengdian extra money. Bi Brother is coming from Guilin to Lijiang also lived for several months. They were also the meet by chance, so-called "like-minded, sympathetic," gradually become very good friends.
In the two kind invitation, I went to their little homes. Place a small hospital on the edge of four lanes, the through street is the two-story, rent out their shop, from the narrow door into a small, suddenly see the light, is a typical Naxi courtyard appearance, were in the yard before and after the small Mulou two richly ornamented, while the sides were the kitchen and flower beds. Lived in the yard about 10 individuals, all from the corners of the country such as Costa Rica, Hu and finally they drifted into the Lijiang young people, like a big family, very fun, very undisciplined and very fraternal.
Hu dinner, too, are Costa Rica, where bass, and opened a large table placed in the yard, a very hearty dinner, as well as completion of Costa Rica's most adept of Guilin beer duck, a group of people eating and drinking in the starlight, how can one " Shuang "Zile De.
Small mill wine
A small mill, in fact, not a mill, but to have fun and do a small Inn. Small mill owners, but also part of drifters, drift from Kunming to Lijiang, is still here, fell in love with the quiet life, then rented small homes, paused for a rest, the small Mill Inn will be open. Inn, and nothing special, but the Inn in front of the piece of yard, I am afraid in Lijiang is also unable to find a second of. Pillow River door to the courtyard, there is no wall, come to lead a small wooden bridge, then up the stairs, get in Chapman, the edge is a small pavilion, the yard is relatively flat ground, the edge is full of flora, a tree completely obscure the small half of the courtyard, is the so-called better enjoy the cool under a tree. At the foot of gurgling water is even more amazing is that water here, because there are differ, and went so far as to form a small waterfall, water, sound and the breeze, the moon is really relative to look at two tire.
Be able to come to such a beauty or is it to get to know the A Fang sister's sake. A Fang sister who is a native of Lijiang and the Naxi half of the descent, so naturally speaks Naxi yo smoothly. A Fang sister should be regarded as the locals in an alien bar. She is probably more than 30 years old, walked in many places, seen a lot of aspects of society, but eventually returned home, in a travel agency to do outreach, or the four-square on the bridge may be the owner of coffee (only I guess), it is a candid one person In Lijiang make friends very broad, the owner of a small mill that is her friend.
A Fang sister held out a blessing, I realize that even with such Lijiang leisurely place. We were very lucky a good dinner just to catch up with braised rabbit (it seems a bit cruel, but the taste一级棒), six or seven people sitting in the pavilion, the expel food, wine talk, feeling that another world is also much better than Tao only to "take the Chrysanthemum Tori, the leisurely to see the mountain" to be changed to "wine a small mill, leisurely see the snow-capped mountains."
Lunch under the Yulong Snow Mountain
In Lijiang, the most interesting activity is riding a bicycle to Yuhu of.
Yuhu Village Yulong Snow Mountain is located in the foot, because there is a beautiful village at the top of a small lake named jade. In fact, the village itself is well-known Yuhu first one to Lijiang Dongba cultural orientation to the world Westerners Luokeboshi, once lived in the village Yuhu three decades, did not leave until the eve of liberation. So far there is to his house in the village has been retained into the exhibition hall, showing the year he used goods and customs at the time.
Majestic snow-capped mountains, beautiful lakes, ancient villages, as well as Luokeboshi legend naturally deeply attracted to me and a bunch of acquaintances in Lijiang. Then, we rented a mountain bike, six-member delegation, led by Sister in the A Fang, excitedly hit the road. Just out of town, too excited, the results of the ranks of two bicycles collided, one of which crashed through the forehead, glasses broke, delayed for several a while. However, it was ultimately heroic spirit is still on the ground the road. Chu Liaocheng, an asphalt road to the majestic snow-capped mountains stretching far to go on both sides of the road is a large expanse of the plains grassland, then the distance, is surrounded by mountains and white clouds on the plateau of the Castle Peak cast a beautiful shadow, blue silhouetted against the sky with snow-capped mountains, grasslands, see who should be drunk. Qinglie breathe the morning air, I work harder Jizhao Ju. Ins and Outs of our team on the road with so many along the way encounter a lot of foreigners, but also cycling, and perhaps go to white sand bar, we greet each other.
Riding the fast for two hours, finally approaching the foot of snow-capped mountains, as has been uphill, along the way can only use three words to describe the situation: "tired of the miserable." To the foot of the mountains, from asphalt to dirt road next to a street on a large flat lawn, is a natural apron, back when Locke was here by the plane landed, but then we have Locke's former residence turned out to see the aircraft parked In the photo on the lawn. Because it is the foot of the mountains, the wind particularly large, Qinglieqinglie, and blown pain in life. Or ascent, and the greater slope is really too tired to see the woods next to a little, we immediately fling the car, disorder in the street and lay down. Looked up looked, snow-capped mountains in front, but, Yuhu it? A Fang sister to cheer us say that, pretty soon. So do we take heart that the difficulty cart before the line has been riding no more. On the road met a Naxi woman, carrying a large fagot, his weathered face, walk kinda fast, is very curious to see us smile, snow from the wind in her hair, so we are feeling .
Pointing in front of a row of houses, A Fang Yuhu sister told us to, it was a reception center. At this time, no one concerned about the lake where all the most pressing problem is there to eat. At this time, it is already two in the afternoon more. Rickety gang went into the reception center, which was still getting bigger yard, there are guest rooms, restaurants, meeting rooms and other facilities, though relatively simple. On that day, only our group of visitors, the first thing we ran into restaurant, called the chef to cook. Pretty fair price, point of a table of dishes, although all Deli, but I think is very delicious Oh, especially the pickled cabbage, potatoes, to eat potatoes I could not even want to eat it the tongue. This is really clean sweep until lunch fond, are too busy to think of looking out at the scenery.
After lunch, we contented in the A Fang, led by Sister to Yuhu into a. Down the yard behind a winding path, about 78 minutes walk, turned a col, wow, Yuhu finally appeared. Is really green jade lake can be seen at the end of the Qing. Relying on the hillside there is a flies the spring Mashimo, see people relaxed and happy, I feel really tired the day the value of the. Jade lake with trees at the millennium-old trees, scattered with a little incense, presumably it has become a object of worship bar. Along the edge of waterfalls Nagareizumi dug up the stone steps Deng, pretty soon came to a small temple. This temple is called Prince's Temple, is located just above the waterfall, while the waterfall flowing from the temple while the prince inside the hole. Prince is the faint spring hole is said to Child-giving a lot of people come here to drink the water holes of the Prince, after a very efficacious, and has often been over would also like to. Then, we Kuanghe up, not because the child asked, but tired a long time, really thirsty. However, Oh, oh, maybe really spiritual. Inside the temple monks and nuns are not stationed for many years, listening to A Fang Jie Yue, and only when the temple will be someone guarding. But it did not run-down, it is also clean, reception centers around the following people who often comes to the cleaning bar.
From the temple behind the Prince did not faint in the grass up the stone stairs to board, another steep mountain roads are dangerous, one turned around and found a red crayon to write on a cliff beside the "Yu-zhu Atlas" four characters, fonts, Qiu Jin, quite skill. Is said to be an officer of the Qing Dynasty a go here feelings. Means that, like Jade Dragon Snow Mountain as major pillars prop up blue sky, at first glance, it really is going on. Beyond it, from a hole drilled to go to a small platform, there is no road by now. However, standing on top of Jimuyuantiao, scenery panoramic view, Lijiang Bazi is surrounded by mountains, and we stood on the Yulong Snow Mountain stretches over the slope is really infinite beauty in the dangerous mountain peak.
Have to go under the mountain, but also to the following Yuhu village a walk, days getting dark. Ride back, is actually very Shun Liu, all the way downhill, almost no Dengju an hour returned to the city of Lijiang. On this day, though tired, but so cool, it is value, and, I was such thing as a lunch. They insist that will not let me pay the bill, I had to give up the idea. Who I am a single Sheung girls do? Hehe ...
10 days in Lijiang, she met many friends. A Fang warm hearted sister, brother floating in the ancient city of Hu, Shenzhen, fish, clubbing together with a group of Israeli youth, always in the SKURA (Sakura House) the old man swinging the United States, as well as cycling around the world, the Belgian brothers (Cool in too beautiful for words), from Malaysia alone to travel the road to get to know girls Huarong ... too many too many friends is so that my real memories.
Lijiang, like a small world full of free atmosphere, all sorts of people come here from around the world, but also with different feelings to leave. The Lijiang, after thousands of years this ancient city is still carried on her constant soul.
