IQue Phoenix (2)
October 3, Lunar eighth day.
In accordance with the schedule in advance, so today we go shopping in the city theme, crowded positioning - to the mountain river Miao Village go to the market. Before departure, my brother served as the noisy crowd to avoid shooting the Phoenix just waking sleep, early morning calls it in the chicken (my cell phone alarm clock), the get up, carrying newly purchased not long G3 and a tripod in the ancient city where swinging around to capture every moment from that good.
Phoenix is the most beautiful morning. Or concentration or short of the mist on the Tuo River in the quiet places filled with pickled lazy, quartzite streets suffused with silver dew, in twos and threes, or lug the burden of city residents rushed ganchang, or remove the door rubbing sleepy eyes Xingzhong to embark on another day busy business. Wandered between terminals at the riverside, watching the other side buried laundry women, ears from time to time drifting away 23 of the fancier sound of early morning practice speaking fluent Jingqiang throat and feel, is a quiet kind of faint, erase the noise and glitz, to the simple primitive atmosphere. In such a mood, the flow in mind, it seem that slowly flowing water, like Tuojiang peace.
8:30, back to Inn. Into the ANDY still in slumber, from his bed Tuoqi, look for the one selling specialty snacks Phoenix - Wide rice noodles shop, solving problems breakfast together rushed to the north gate pier jumping rocks and began boating Tuojiang.
Tuo on the boat is divided into two kinds of public sector and private. The public sector are insurance, there are life jackets are worn at the bridge opening xiajiang the shore of silver ornaments Jin Miao girl in the boat pass by singing a sweet-sounding folk songs; private, without the above advantages, but wins in the price cheap, only one-third of the former.
The view from the Tuojiang Diaojiaolou do not have some crosses several. Only half of the fancy, you will find a small town south of Yangtze River in which Huang Si traveled; can thin out of the river reflected upside-long wooden feet, but pulled back to your mountain plantain among the Miao, Dai bamboo house . Look at the distance, between the Castle Peak Taying accompanied by cruise ships in the lush grass Dangqi ripple, distinctly swaying. As if a symmetrical picture, along the river that thin folded with great accuracy.
10:30 hurried ashore are Showmanship of us squeezed into one of the CMB, into the hills and river starting to experience the excitement of a country fair.
Shan Jiang Miao called pit cushion from the city about 23 kilometers, is said to be the last generation of western Hunan Miao Wanglongyunfei rule center. Ancient mountain roads, and poor, it is difficult and the outside world, Yi Shizhu chosen by all types of supplies such as mountain-grown, and then swap with each other necessary. Slowly, they go to the market development of such a transmutation into a fixed form. Basically, the feeling wherever he goes, every Hmong market town has a country fair, but time is different. One of the most famous is the La-Er-Shan, Wo library and mountain river. Catch these wherever he goes, not only in the vicinity of several Miao Village, and the Huayuan, Jishou, Luzhou Creek, Mayang, Guizhou Songtao, Tongren and Sichuan Xiushan (now owned by Chongqing?) And other places of the traders night are often rushed to the scene Thus, there are "three provinces in a hurry," one said.
Shan Jiang, I go to the market the most attractive eye, one everywhere chili peppers and yams; second is sparkling shiny silver; third peristalsis Pupae and colored seedlings medicine. Can not help heart impulse shopping, pick a bracelet, a ring, a bracelet and a pair of horns produced seemingly statue (later proved that this statue is my choice of the Phoenix has done the most wrong one - cost of silver most buy is a pair of plaster products!)
Mountain River go to the market gave us a great shock and surprise - never thought of, the original truck is loaded so many people! A small truck, the car outside the car a number of people co-extrusion of the fifty or sixty! Watching those who squat in the cab roof, climbing in the car outside and rear of the bucket the elderly, women and children, looking back all the way through those rugged Hill Road, fiercely heart really was worried the Khan! (After a good ass told in those few days, there is a country fair of the car turned over on the spot death of three people, injured countless!)
Catch end set, I heard that the town free of charge after the mountains have their seat of Miao Village, we can not wait to go visit. The Miao Village premises made almost entirely of stone Lei Qi, Zhai Men is a stone doorway, one enters is the one Piaoman the duckweed reservoirs. Number of 11, two years old little girl to see us, they give us lead the way before the timid on the ground. From their introduction, we know all of this stockade live dragon named Miao people, Walled after a mountain top, the scenery very well. During a visit to take photographs inside the stockade, but also had to suffer a more than 50-year-old uncle, warmly invited us into the room to rest. Although the run-down house, but there are also color TV, VCD and telephones. One can see that shape, life is good. Walled out in our time, we met the uncle, carrying just bought a desk sets. Is said to have spent more than 100. This can be considered at the local small fortune in expenses.
Come out from the Miao Village in sets miaojia Chile Dun pure rice, think of the same car to mountain river of tourists have been talking about stone bridge, not far from a mountain river Miao Village, saying that there is a large stone bridge known as best in the world . So at the junction waiting for more than 20 minutes, a Pakistani Quwang take the stone bridge.
Stone bridge across the two peaks of the Grand Canyon on. According to sightings, and span should not exceed more than 1000 meters, height of more than 200 meters. If you continue along the stone bridge Miao Village, went under the bridge Wuchao river boulder, but also found another small stone bridge. Looked from a certain point, you can see the wonderful scenery of the bridge set bridge.
Miao Village in the stone bridge, we drink the first cup sweet and delicious miaojia "bar of wine"; see the first Hmong Flower Drum, playing pigs grass and Zhugan Wu; for the first time and the Hmong brothers and sisters together jump unity dance.
Back to Phoenix was already nightfall. In a town called "Fu Manlou" Festival of the five internal organs Miaohou hotel along been Teppanyaki occupying the entire building of the road way back to the ancient city. Wash finished, playing the cards. (This is my second error committed by the Phoenix - that night, we could go to the ancient city of assorted bubble bars and tea house! From Phoenix the night before and found that the time is so inadequate, there are a lot of experience of the matter is still thin.)
Before going to sleep, suddenly heard the river behind the house floated the surface of mildly pleasant voice, and mixed with cheers from time to time Baoxiang. Finally can not resist coming down the stairs riverside. This found that the other side of the tower and not far from the 10000 Hongqiao brightly lit, reflecting the river was becoming increasingly dark. A few boats are 10 waves in the river surface, singing, applause is heard from such a small boat leisurely.
That very night, in the songs to sleep ... ...

Mountain Town Post Office on the fork in the road next to a roadside shop, no shop signs, tables and chairs are not many, many go to the market of the Miao people are squatting in front of the store to eat. The store fired the bracken fried bacon is that we eat the most delicious in the Phoenix, the first bowl of a finished looting, they agreed to vote together with a bowl, then grab End! Bracken fried bacon is a necessary point of western Hunan dish. Over five days, eating seven or eight tons. Taste of devaluation of this mountain river unknown shop, sub-building of the road for Phoenix, Ambassador Hotel, following the term Big Brother to personally cook for Deben modulation.
2. Although the mountain people honest, but when you go to the market should also pay attention to their bags. We have set the discovery of two black suit of pickpockets. In the realize that they have been discovered, the two left quietly.
3. Although the mountain people honest, but Do not set the shop and stall holders seem sincere innocent kind. Even compared with Shanghai, where nothing is cheap, but the bargain on the bargain. An outcry about 100 necklaces, finally able to deal 20 to 30. At the same time, Do not buy a system, seemingly with the horn carved statues, it is actually gypsum irrigation system. Of course, the purely visual appearance of a low price (less than 30) to buy is also good.
