Lijiang OK 8:40 climb into cars to leave the marble, car speeding on the highway, flanked by lush crops (maize, cereals), and tall stand tall eucalyptus. Has come to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at the junction, and days of particularly high, especially blue, clouds in particular white, surrounded by special open, the distant mountains can be seen on top of snow, while the hillside was a thick cloud of Pentium. At this time, it will be reminiscent of the mood of the open, the sound of Tibetan folk songs dragged long.
Accustomed to digital thinking math teacher Mr. Ma Weiguo, just finished Keshui, they begin to calculate our location: Hangzhou, Kunming, 2875 kilometers away from Kunming to Lijiang, 527 kilometers, and now we are 3402 kilometers away from Hangzhou.
13:00 to Lijiang, lunch has been 1:30. After dinner, we toured the ancient city of Lijiang, Square Street, Black Dragon Pool. The evening, went to visit Old Town of Lijiang. The next day, the morning and plateau meadow - Ganhaizi (2900 m), baishuihe (2800 m), riding to Yunshan Ping (3300 m), tour guide told us that in Yunshan Ping, overlooking Naxi Mount Athos -- - Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, view of Yulong fan steep peak (5596 meters), but because of fog filled the air, do not see the peaks. That afternoon, we went to the Dongba God Garden 10000, jade water village.
It is said that when Zhu Rongji to Yunshan Ping is also the cloud filled the air, he refers to a snow-capped mountains, a Shashi, clouds disappear, exposing its white mountain peak, snow-capped mountains and elegant to open the "snow-capped mountains welcoming and elegant," the real ah a little bit magical color. Unfortunately, we are not elegant, snow-capped mountains impossible for us to brighten. I advise you that, not worthwhile to look at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, a waste of a day, this day, scheduled for Old Town of Lijiang, you must much has been achieved.
In Lijiang, it is worth a visit is the Old Town of Lijiang, is also unforgettable Old Town of Lijiang, the old town with its unique charm to attract us.
Lijiang Old Town gives the impression that ancient, then slowly turning the big windmill, it flows through every household of the gurgling water, then spotted mottled lighter, rugged yet another badly trampled smooth bluestone pavement, then the easiest from the linshui people come out of the bridge makes up a few pieces of wood, are hewn their despicably dull dull life, not have been more simple and easy experience. They do not understand how their own became a "World Heritage"? Come to so many visitors, tourists, come to so many Chinese people and foreigners? I suddenly remembered a story: a weather-beaten, a lifetime of labor in the mountains, his face wrinkled old farmer, one day, was asked to be a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts of the model, farmers do not understand, ask the professor, professor replied: I fancy you simple, pure and simple and plain. I think, with the farmers who, like the ancient city of Lijiang is the most valuable antique - belonging to its own, the letter, authentic simplicity.
Walk every street in the ancient city, can see the gently flowing leisurely in the spring, it is shed from the Black Dragon Pool, the springs, in the stream side, it was in the vegetables, visitors sat leisurely stream side a tea shop and flipping through an album, or in a low, talk. The night side of the stream, even more obsessed, cool breeze, soft lighting, which lights, two, three ... ... lotus lights floating in the stream where leisurely manner, carrying a child naive illusions, carrying a boy or girl good wishes. I saw a slender girl standing on a small bridge, exposing sweet and happy smile, the camera flash photo is her angel-like shadows. Water is humanity's most intimate friends, no water, there is no happiness, there will be no spirituality, no life. Two years ago, I went to Anhui Province is also among the world's cultural heritage Xidi, Hongcun, there is "every family in front of a clear spring," exploitation and utilization of water, the kind of hydrophilic complex, actually so similar with the Old Town of Lijiang. Heaven and Man, creating a better living environment, which our ancestors of the family heirloom, but ah!
Music is the life of Naxi Ren, stroll the streets of Lijiang ancient city, everywhere could be heard the strains of Naxi ancient music and the Yunnan folk. In the Square Street, which the center of Lijiang ancient city, when the tea-horse ancient road of the most important hub station, caravans and goods distribution center, I saw the 78 Naxi the elderly, hand in hand, surrounded by a circle, and the music, danced a dance, then, the Han, Tibetan, Bai, Naxi men and women, people of all ages, one after another to join the ranks of dance, the circle more and more people gathered together, singing and dancing, the atmosphere is so warm and harmonious . The dance can be seen from the Square Street, Naxi is an open awareness of the rich people. Old Town of Lijiang - Dayan ancient town, and different from our other city, it does not walls, the entire city is completely open, and from another angle, which describes the Naxi ethnic openness.
At 9 pm, we went to Old Town of Lijiang, the ancient city ablaze with lights and flow waves, as festive as busy. The few of us, but also ran a number of operator terminals, have seen some aspects of society, and to here, but glance right and left, looking around, I feel anything strange, anything fun. This is a Tibetan jewelry store, it is Dongba Technology Association, here in the log-chip with a hot iron to draw, the other side, Brokeback calligraphers are mouth brush, this one along the river are several eateries, two foreigners, a shaved head still pattern with a red dragon do, they are standing on a special do "Lijiang Baba" in shops before. Lijiang Baba waiting to eat. It hung a string of red lanterns, a little romantic ambience in a bar, it is said that some bars, in addition to drink and chat, but also access to the Internet. There are many Inn hotel, what papaya inns, dates bean golden inn, nominal fresh, hotels are also decorated the door of ingenuity, and some is booming, some of its winding, there is a insisted you go take a look at the attraction. The store's business was very good to come to such a magical place, and no one wanted to buy something to take home as a souvenir. I bought a painted Naxi pictograph: Happy every day round hanging panel designs, this hanging panel, it seems, some original, some rough, but it gives us a unique freshness and flavor. I think this piece hanging panel hanging in my living room in Hangzhou, must be very compelling.
Black Dragon Pool Park is being renovated, the park there are many Naxi women in the excavation, using bamboo basket back soil. "Such a strong labor can not see how a man?" Xiaoming was puzzled and asked the Naxi guide Xiao Zhang. Xiao Zhang tells us that in the Naxi, women are the main labor force, a wife can not go to work outside, is to be despised. A man, you do some lighter housework, the other is engaged in engaged in literature, sit tea shops to support bird. In the Naxi people to be a really nice man ah. We would like to. "Sheepskin shawl" is the Naxi women's clothing, an important symbol at the top of the next round with the block true black sheep in sheep's clothing shawl is made of decorated cloth 7 Caixiu circular disk, centered on each of two white sheepskin inside streamers, seven representatives of the Big Dipper disc, it is known as the "daytime", which shows that the production of Naxi women in the life of the important status and role, but also shows the quality of Naxi women in hard-working. There is also a saying: sheepskin cape shaped like frogs, Naxi Ren says disc as "Pakistan wonderful", meaning frog eyes. This is the worship of the frog sheep Lijiang Ancient Qiang Tu and worship one another fusion results. Do not read this small cape, which dress, both documented history of the nation, but also a symbol of national spirit. This, give it a trendy phrase: Tell clothing culture.
We have also seen in the Old Town of Lijiang Mao Zedong. When we follow the town when the tour guide, he saw a lane of the bend, a shop door, Mao tall, wearing a gray tunic, a pair of black shoes, is waving to us it is the Tang do? Not, is another actor to play Mao do? Nor is either guide us quickly to catch up, reminders, we will certainly talk with him in the past. It turned out that this is a business Mao medals and other souvenirs shop owner, his strong resemblance to Mao Tse-tung. Unfortunately, we stay in the city a short time how much we would like to come to his shop to visit to visit, with him shooting ZHANG Zhao, leaving a permanent mark. Probably, one day, what a director eyes on him, we can at the screen and on television, to see him. Perhaps it really will be that day, the world thing. Where a definite answer.
Old Town of Lijiang night, there are bustling of people, bustling markets, but also secretly Hun Hun streets, deserted courtyard. Inadvertently, we entered a narrow little alley, winding alleys, do not see a silhouette, run-down of the low wall side, there is a door, two Heibuliuqiu the door, half open, the door above the distortion skew skew close to the sheep's head painted a painting, which pass out of the long period of gentle sound of a guitar What is this place? Is the home? Are wondering, the door, ah, the look and slowly opened, "Come." A young man said, voice soft, faint, as if do not want to disrupt this long period of music and quiet environment. "Come, here is the Tea House." Complements a young man, the sound is soft, faint.
Entering the door, which is one of about ten square meters of a small courtyard, the wall of rocks, a long-haired young people, sitting there, bow piano to guitar. By Congfangjianli shot the lights, I see this little patio furnishings, sidelined them the bucket, pole, Naxi Ren the back baskets, straw hats hung under the eaves, shotguns, there are a few skins, but also hung a sheep's head, the ground is uneven brick paved road, road is still long the weeds, I feel, not into the tea, but went into the mountains, into the Naxi Ren's residence. In another corner of the courtyard, find the wooden partition, sat with other young people, in the piano to sanxian.
In this quiet night, in this all seems to naturally formed a small courtyard, listening to the spring-like pure music, I like walking into another world: one is not noisy, there is no struggle, there is no utilitarian world, the heart as flat as a mirror, as if to heaven.
In this wonderful music to accompany, I walked into the two tea, tea is not, there are only 10 square about a lot of Naxi hieroglyphs on the wall read, another, hanging from a number of Naxi Ren arts and crafts, tables and chairs are also quite common, but also the old, the room is very simple, but very clean. Inside there is no tea guests. I think that in such a quiet place, to a pair of lovers, or to a few from the busy hustle and bustle of the metropolis to visitors here, quietly tea, that feeling is definitely unforgettable. I went to another room, which is an imitation of Naxi Ren around the brazier, the custom of binge drinking tea kettle set, dim sum, we must take a circle or sit. This tea drinking, what will be another flavor, another a feeling. Elastic three-stringed lute young man who told me that this is a Taiwan Tea House owner opened.
Out of the Tea House, my heart did not seem to have a sense of security felt like a dream, suspect saw the mirage. Looking back, those close to the sheep's head gate of the old concrete wall right there in front, then gently countless guitar sound, is still floating around in Ye Feng. I finally understand why someone is three times five, or ten eight times to Lijiang? Why do some people to Lijiang, we do not want to leave? Because, Lijiang give people is not given elsewhere, or that can not be given elsewhere.
Lijiang outsiders to invest in many foreign countries, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Wenzhou, Lijiang ... ... outsiders to invest in is a good thing conducive to the development of Lijiang, Lijiang is conducive to the use of the world, the National country, economy, culture, tourism, environmental protection results, enrich and develop themselves, to strengthen ourselves. Old Town of Lijiang ancient times, is that there is no wall is open, and we believe that the future of the Old Town of Lijiang necessarily more open, more prosperous and better.
However, in encouraging foreign investors, it should also actively support local investors, local operators, in particular, should be in all Naxi Ren operators, the possession of a certain percentage, so that is conducive to maintaining the national Old Town of Lijiang characteristics, local characteristics, if the Old Town of Lijiang lost its national characteristics, local characteristics, not Old Town of Lijiang Old Town of Lijiang has. Recently, I heard that, Lijiang city government has taken note of this issue and made corresponding regulations, which is gratifying.
This time we are with the tour group to Lijiang, with the tour group tourism can certainly worry a lot, but to swim satisfaction, swim at ease, I think, or should choose a self-tour, especially the visit "Old Town of Lijiang." If we choose to self-tour, we live in the Lijiang Old Town Inn 35 days,, go to bars to drink, to Tea House tea, to bear false witness, shop, listen to music, eat one point of Lijiang: Baba, go talk with the Naxi Ren , go with the inn-keeper engaged in small talk, and then rent on a bicycle, to go around in circles around Lijiang.
"Old Town of Lijiang" yes "paintings, is a boutique, we must go slowly taste, and makes enjoy.
