March 22 Dali to Lijiang Sunshine 194 kilometers total 2133 kilometers
Yesterday, we had bought a ticket to Lijiang, in front of the hotel can be more than the car and went to the door waiting for a train, to see young people have been waiting for a car, tall and slim and very level of hair disorder, carrying travel bag, holding the Sino-Japanese dictionary, a very typical Japanese tourists. LC chatted with him, turned out he was a university student from Tokyo, this time over China in foreign travel, the way to learn Chinese, he was pleased to be able to recognize that we can practice his half-baked in Chinese, he has a very lovely English name - YUKI. Now with our car ride with a trip to Lijiang, the driver was late, 9:50 before departure.
The road from Dali to Lijiang good, sitting on your right you can see the scenery along the way, turning from time to time have a pleasant surprise. The sooner the more exciting, there seems to feel at home, LC and the cat have been to Lijiang, where there are a lot of friends, did not expect so soon returned, 12:50 arrival terminal, to the opposite side there is ancient city buses sat down, No. 1 bus to the department store as long as five hair.
Stop moving forward, not far you can see a large water wheel, LC and the cat seems to be the same host family, with me and YUKI a turn onto a side on the streets. I was feeling like a time tunnel, like across the front is a quiet quaint old city, a look back, followed by Bank of China, specialty shops, a bustling city. I really doubt is just an illusion, when I once again look to the ancient city, she was truly in front of me how, not only see but also smell fresh town. I called LC with the cat not to speak too much the story of Lijiang, I would like to own feelings, I have no psychological preparation, I have always thought that the ancient city of Lijiang, Dali ancient city should be the same as it is away from the bustling urban areas there is a distance, the unexpected is that she was actually on in the busy, but not by the city of pollution, to maintain her unique charm. Time this seemed to go very slow, but first a look, but also they could immediately feel the city that time speeding the tension between the two time separated by a time seemed on the film, I through a tunnel into the The Shangri-la.
LC and the cat has gone 10 a few steps away, I hasten to catch up to go, go in front of the ancient city youth Inn granite stairs, to where to go, cat looking for her little cats playing, LC and the girls had been talking was in full swing, I started to visit here, two-story wooden house, the middle of a courtyard, this place has a lot of foreigners live, and they greeted us with enthusiasm, it seems that here is their country, we are the foreign tourists , downstairs there is a cafe, do not go out you can go abroad, is very convenient.
I asked LC: "Tonight on the live here?"
LC funny to say: "There are better."
Bid farewell to the shops continue to move forward the way of the streaky stone ground, the left has a crystal clear stream, the sun shines on the stream, water suffused with golden flash, stream of Liu Shuqing Cui dripping, wind sway, cool whisk face, beneath a row of rattan, and many visitors are stream to drink tea, chat, drying sun with one of relaxed feeling. I was greedy to appreciate the beauty shop has come to Fenfen before Fenfen are the original inhabitants of the Naxi, the family opened a bar, on the stream, close to Square Street. LC and the cat and at last came to Fenfen became good friends, they are so understanding of this to give a friend a surprise, did not tell Fenfen, now disguised as tourists sitting in her shop, Fenfen look at the recognized the two of them, happy not to, stopped to let us stay there, but also took us to dinner, Fenfen more lively than they describe the way we talk about constantly is more novelty in Lijiang.
Sitting in the restaurant side of the stream, watching the stream next to the shallow, clear, translucent, sweet sound of flowing water sounds, I could not help but go on the wet start with, good cold ah, really is the Yulong Snow Mountain stream down snow. Whether cross-strait visitors or casual leisure shops are closed, and only hastily stream flow. Think of a friend still working in Guangzhou, I enjoy the really good fun.
"Tonight Square Street dance and dance, and we go together." Fenfen let us know.
cat say: "Well, I liked the first time here on the dance, together with the local Naxi people dancing well quickly, but some steps are too complex and difficult to jump."
YUKI see the cat that succeeded Dance Foot Road, over and over again to understand it, very eager to ask us, we use known in the Anglo-Japanese words to tell him he was wrong ignore what we mean, amused us laugh.
YUKI say: "You - writing, I - look - too - to understand."
This move really OK, we write in Chinese YUKI have read, and Japanese has always been English Well. When we know only studied Chinese for a year YUKI have such results, and no longer laughed him.
Meal can not wait to stroll Dayan Old Town, the old town with Square Street as the center, several radiation path was extended to the Quartet, streams flowing in the town stretching, it is scientifically flow through each one, also has its own unique Naxi The Dongba culture.
If you are interested in the evening can also listen to the unique Naxi ancient music. In the East Main Street there are two, one is "Lijiang China Dayan Naxi Ancient Music will", and another is "Dongba Palace."
Night we went dancing, but because too few visitors, put up a bonfire also removed. We are disappointed, a Naxi old man said: "Come Saturday, with or without tourists, we will own dance entertainment, Tuesday 4 depends on the number of visitors."
No dance dance, head for the night view of Lijiang is also good, both sides of the shops are flashing the lights, tables adjacent river also lit candles, the reflection of the water and the night Ambilight. The warm red tone to Lijiang dyed exceptionally kind, and some during the day is a different scene. cat also had a lot to talk about when she last saw in the water discharge lamps, more attractive, more lively, as if the ground a light river, and the Milky Way in heaven with each other Jackin it be considered the United States. I could hear the envy of showing facial expressions, can be mind wanted hated the water pushed her.
We Fenfen shop drinking beer, chatting, no better leisure. YUKI hear we have to go to Tibet, envy, but his time does not permit can only be tomorrow, with me to the Yulong Snow Mountain.
