An honest taxi driver, and scold sly's porters come from the Baotou airport for almost 22 o'clock, called a lease to Tian Wai Tian Hotel. Baotou, a total of only three residential areas, the airport in the east of the river area, the Castle Peak area in the next hotel. I thought is not very far. Some multi-storey buildings skip from the window, not more than, the car into the broad road, looking ahead, we see only trees rapidly going backwards, there is no light people. Not help wondering to ask the driver from the airport to the number of days outside the days away. The driver without looking, 30 kilometers.
"No, right?" I am a little hasty; "Hedong not to the Castle Peak area next to it?"
"Yes," the driver said, "east of the river area and the Castle Peak area is adjacent to the middle in the last 30 kilometers of grassland and woods."
How have this file do? I have also considered running a lot of places, never seen anything like urban layout. If the driver Bypass Daoshi small, will face robbery? So no smoking place, a serious military training, I got a woman how to deal with criminals? Think my colleagues have said before departure of the type of field mess, then I put bag tightly across their chests, but why eyes at this time again showed Zhang's face. Shortness of breath, I started up. The driver realized that my anxiety slowly whisper words to say: "go wrong as soon as they arrive at." Further explained that east of the river area is the old header, now transferred to two new district center, namely, Kun District, and Castle Peak.
The building appeared, and finally to the hotel, the fare is not quite expensive, forty to fifty million. Asked the hall is really between the two zones separated by a 30 kilometers of grassland and woods.
Hsu instinctive suspicion of strangers is my nature, I am sorry that the driver is feeling.
The end of things, there is a box of equipment, aircraft and baggage transported back to Shanghai as uneconomical, so called for rental to the train station checked. Or the driver who, Baotou few locals take a taxi, he seriously set me to Baotou things, every day 8:30 Hou outside the big door in days.
Train Station where the new building being built, roads to open belly a little bit broken-bore chaos. Our car was stopped by a 60 old man away, waving his hands loudly yell: "checked in front of the doors did not open, get into the car!" This is how to do, I looked at the big box anxious. "Do not worry, there is me." Elderly do not know where the pull comes from a trailer, neatly my big boxes move into his trailer and secured. Alerted me to ask: "How far is it? How much money?" He said: 15 minutes bar. 10 money. I mention the bag tightly-step with him. In the rugged road car to move forward on the crooked, the old man sent a chant voice. I am very sorry for him, flew him orally plus 10 money, he immediately followed suit thanks. But they walked, I began to wonder, and we take the road while not cheap, but not narrow, rent, or able to open the ah, say it did not come to see what is checked at the door closed. I realized that they had been cheated by this old man. When the old man put his face sweat unloading large boxes, I was coldly handed him ten dollars. He jumped up, do not you say 20? I say it is not open the gate of the foundation. Now I know that you are lying, so it is still ten-dollar. Old man do not want, grinding bass of the Lao Bantian, I had to give him 10, and my heart is to dig plug.
Checked out of the door to a good box, that contains the drivers, and I came to the door, I was surprised: "You know the old man said, is that lie?" The driver said we all know this old man, his son, he was unwilling to caring, the old man's reliance on This money is not easy. After listening to these words, I have to pay twenty dollars more also at ease.
Inner Mongolia's culinary culture and friends who travel to Inner Mongolia, the first flickering want to try the Mongolian dishes.
The first night we went to work stuffing the Han Tara yurts to eat dinner, a group of young people serving in Mongolia saber (I wonder if authentic) in the blue sky with white clouds under the plucked string instrument and singing melodious songs grassland. Genghis Khan's portrait hangs inside the yurt, a pillar carved with a variety of grassland animals. We tried the Mongolian milk tea, milk, bread and cheese, to be honest very used to this taste. Sent there is no glass of beer, and asked the waiter to the cup, a little girl opens her eyes wide Mongolian robes: drinking cup still? So imagine how we raised the bottle to cool big mouth and drinking extravagantly high, hand inviting kg sold roast leg of lamb on the big bite ravenously.
Deer eat the second night to God, with the Russian log hut Dacheng group scattered in the vast field, the very exotic. Sika deer and camels on your side Happy to pacing up and down, to my colleagues told me that before Baotou Baotou, there is a "deer" in place, and I hear there is a header into the "road" place. Seen walking on the lawn of the sika deer was opened "road" to "deer" in error. Deer are lovers, they are grass fed, they are good with a pair of big eyes looking at you silently.
We do not want entered the room dining, on the grass under the big umbrella drink to eat venison deer blood. Very puzzled the minds of the sacred deer in Mongolian life, why does the menu. Learn to know only after the deer is protected, and captive deer and the South of food, like what happened to Bullfrog. This meal a few people of our stays broken. Then walk 40 minutes back to hotel, consume about calories.
In addition to changes in Baotou city cuisine, the city of Baotou also left a deep impression on me, and she more than I had imagined was far more beautiful.
Baotou has three residential district and the district are between the grass and towering poplar forest. Wide roads, no traffic jam phenomenon. There is no skyscrapers, the style of multi-storey buildings are relatively new, there are Russian-style wooden hut.
Liberation Baotou called "nine source", the Yellow River is the main source of water. In addition, there should not be built Ai River, Hartmann ditch, kundulun River, five when the ditch, the water stream ditch, the United States and other rivers Dai ditch. Han Chinese in the Yellow River Ferry Service (today's East River district) and the Mongolian compatriots exchange salt, fur and other items. At that time nine people lived in yurts source.
After liberation, the nine source was renamed Sarah flag is under the jurisdiction of Baotou. By 1957, the Soviet Union and China's joint development of Baotou Rare Earth Metal-rich ore and coal, and the establishment of the nuclear industry and the military-industrial complex, so Baotou to become flat with Sarah flag-class city. However, due to the time, "Mr. postpartum life" policies, the majority of Baotou city, playing the kind of dry base layer of adobe rooms.
New century, the Baotou Iron and Steel is still the three major power stations and heavy industry, chemical industry base in Baotou, a total area of nearly 20,008 square kilometers, four times more than in Shanghai, but the population of only 15% of Shanghai. Population density is very low. Coupled with industrial areas away from residential areas, so urban areas appeared to be very quiet, no noise and a sense of urgency in Shanghai.
Baotou city has 10 very open square at night to reveal the city of Baotou was mixed with excitement and leisure village. Here in the summer sun sets late, and Europe, similar to 9 o'clock the sky was still lit sunset. Place on a lump of grass flowers and water curtain film, people sat in twos and threes, or docked on the bench before the fountain, it is not the kind of crowded Shanghai sense.
We praise the header line has kept the United States, taxi driver said that reform and opening up only the header changes, only a pity that there are sandstorms in spring, before there is no such weather, the spring dust storms in recent years, the number increases year after year. Baotou people know that this is because the desert eastward expansion's sake, so a strong sense to focus only on the city's construction of its own is not enough sand is one of the important event in the whole of Inner Mongolia.
Half a century ago, the first Mongolian Mongolian customs and there is no father's name, worship cattle and women, so far in the grasslands and cattle can still see the statue of a woman.
Legend for a long time ago, courtesy of the Mongolian men, women care for a place in the lush rolling grazing sheep under the yurt. While men were hunting, riding four great deal of movement. But the men were allowed inside at any one yurt camping. This determines the structure of the Mongols matriarchal society.
Men carried a horse pole, when he arrived in a yurt before the horse put the tree on the outside pole, which means that a woman inside the yurt tonight belongs to this master of the root pole horse. Men can also post to the camp, because in the vast grasslands to look for the next one yurt is not easy. So in yurts, the first man with the belt will be a yurt virtually every other second half of a temporary paradise for couples, half of heaven and earth is a live-in guests.
The Mongols are now strictly enforced monogamy, the divorce rate is very low, not many extramarital affair. Mongols had believed that the more children, more happiness, and now and autonomous regions to allow a couple with two children, but can also see a lot of interesting family planning slogans such as "fewer Fife", "daughter is also his family" and so on, very interesting.
Ring less than the desert sand can not be said've been in Inner Mongolia. Dalate Banner Desert in the easternmost Chur ring flag beach is a miracle in the desert, ring for more than 100 meters high sand Sharper, slope 45 degrees, showed crescent-shaped. If the dry weather, when people from the Sharper when the top of the decline will hear the sound of planes roaring like. Ring the beach its name.
Unfortunately, the eve of the day we went to just under a heavy rain, no chance to listen to sand. For the first time since the birth of my camel into the desert, an oasis in the desert has a silent deterrent effect. I am immersed in emotion, in which one simply do not care about this small regret.
There is a direction of the growth of the sparse desert green plants, take pictures, I make guides to avoid that direction. Guide excited to say that, but in Inner Mongolia were cared for by hand under the sand of Tamarix, ah, do not look they are now Xixi faint, as long as persistent species continues, will one day cover the entire desert.
Sound beach visitors a lot of people from big cities come from the plains of green sweet to enjoy the desert wonders, if one day we lose this desert attractions, should be some good.
