Donkeys have said that several covered bridges in Luo Yang Tai-shun county basically a garbage heap, and has not looked at. Ukrainian rock ridge from the station back to Luo Yang, the non-stop on the ground of to Shinomura, Johor Bahru car, car more, 7.5 yuan, to the Shinomura about an hour. Confessed in the car should talk to the conductor, and have a Shinomura Wen Hsing bridge in the street to get off to the Man-hing, from Shinomura probably have to be a bridge walk for ten minutes.
Car stopped outside the village field edge, conductor told me that to the covered bridges, and pointing me to a field path from the roadside to go. Brown color of the ridge along the grass walk, left vast tracts of paddy fields after the harvest, the right is a small slopes and several farmhouses. Casually turn the small slope, lurches violently, red Wen Hsing Bridge impressively into the eyes, I almost called out, subconsciously paused stunning was a little spent a long time to overlooking the, warm current in the the heart throb. Dull red of the covered bridges, black roof tiles, brown fields, verdant hills packages, even though they are not majestic, magnificent, and handsome, and even a bit cloddish, but together it is so harmonious unity, with the affinity of a particularly warm and unique charm, is no wonder that "native Chinese - Tai-shun," a cover of the book will do with it.
Walked the trail along the bridge on both sides of a small stream, looking up from below, Wen-hing, the characteristics of the bridge, "Vicia oblique shoulder," particularly evident, making the text, unlike other covered bridges Hing Bridge is more neat, symmetrical, do not have some alternative aesthetic. Bridge slope Department has a small tile-roofed house, it should be said, look at the bridge of online Granny and granddaughter reside. Is being looked at, Granny porter carrying his bamboo basket to push the door out, walk the bridge of the vegetable plots pick peas, remove the bag while I enjoy the covered bridges, while chatting with Granny. Granny did not really understand Mandarin helpless, and we had to draw than the hands and feet with a smile, but I still figure out the Granny's granddaughter was eight years old, and last year, and she was cooking, and so his granddaughter to come back for lunch.
Japan due to go to see the bridge, at noon and then rush to sixi, to see the bridge Granny left a package Beijing toffee, reluctantly bid farewell to the Man Hing Bridge. That came around the corner, but also slower to catch a good read back Wen Hsing Bridge, which is my habit, and in order to make an instant freeze-frame into the eternal.
Go back to Shinomura, I wonder if Japan Bridge, where, asked a lot of people, no one to state clearly whether it is the specific location, only vague that far Oh well, while the older generation DX who is also a lively debate of the memoirs Yun, ranging from a few minutes to half an hour. I walked along the road to find, and then walk half an hour also did not see to many of the students who bike to school are also asked about a loss, shaking his head. It seems that Japan is not the bridge so the locals know, the woeful ah.
Searching out Toyo bridge Eventually, the field hand, saw a stream of the crown have not seen the dog fish (the bird). From Wuhan to the Dongting Lake, has bird-lovers have seen it, but I have no chance to see such close contact in this case, see a clear-cut, so I have the kinds of "out-east corner, Shouzhisangyu" The feeling .
're Wondering whether or not to continue to search for the Japan Bridge, behind the opening to one to sixi the CMB, which is today, the last bus to the sixi, and had to get on the train. Upon inquiry, the conductor that, in the off-season, every day the car to the sixi only two classes, 9:30 and 12:30 two classes, those classes before 16:30 pm the regular customers because they can not be canceled. Asked the conductor fares, saying that is 7.5 yuan, I have some strange, five-predecessors do not say? Conductor a little unhappy, and that has always been this price, how can there be five-for? Smoking a cigarette next to a young woman also told me that is 7.5 yuan, 5 yuan to the Feng Yang would have had. It appears that our predecessors in error, and in this donkey line, Taishun bus conductor had never Luanhan price, not to mention to me this is obviously a foreign person's slaughter knife demonstration of the simple kindness here, folk customs , the covered bridges as quaint as it is beautiful!
Shinomura to sixi from the beginning of the road is still good, but after a Japan that is gravel mountain village, and some roads have been paved in half of cement roads. On several occasions in half of cement roads, our cars and trucks across the face stuffed, the two sides did not quarrel, always from the uphill after the car slowly out of friendship and cement road, which allow suffering in the city suffer from traffic jams a lot of our feelings.
About one and a half an hour, arrived at sixi, not yet into the town, on the car to see the North Stream bridge cornices, hastens to get off. Walk along the ridge, first see a small stream of small bridges and lush foliage of the trees, closer and closer, hidden among the large camphor tree Kitama Banzhebanyan bridge before shyly revealed. "Local Chinese - Tai-shun," the book it with the East River Bridge, and called the world's most beautiful covered bridges, but it gave me the shock was not as good as Man-hing, bridges, may be due to bridge some of the old trees and ancient dwellings wash Ben wins the main bar. First bridge on the ancient dwellings of the beauties take a break through it, eyes closed, imagine that the side is the mountains and the beautiful covered bridges of common rearing out of Enchanting beauty of the Tai-shun, He He.
Kitama bridge not far from the chaos of the river before a rocky beach, there is a small stone Itabashi, bridge is a shallow water, I remove the backpack and eat while you're sitting on beach rocks and streams of the North Bridge. Came four tourists driving and suddenly heard what they said turned out to be Taiwanese accent Mangwen where they are, and it Wenzhou Road, Dongyang County, the original, Zhejiang and Fujian in southern Fujian Province also speak the Minnan language in some places. One guy asked me if I was in Xiamen, he said that from my accent, I can see from Xiamen, halo, I have learned so long in Beijing, then in the end, or sweet potato-cavity die hard, and depressed ah!
The sixi town through the town before, soon reached the river east bridge, it already is now surrounded by Chinese each place a style shop-fronts, pressure makes it the East River bridges are fundamentally not that it was reflected a world-class beauty, real pity. Bridge construction side of a large group of people are heading for a huge wall display ads, there is an elderly couple and asked if I come, I said yes, Xiamen, they were on at once agitated: "You are in Xiamen Oh? We are Jinjiang ah. "busy shaking hands with each other, and chatted with the Minnan dialect affectionately up in such remote places can be met fellow really is quite excited ah. The old couple warmly invited me to live in their home tonight, but I can because tomorrow morning to enter Island Ridge, so tonight was rushed to the three-kui. Car came, and with the Minnan dialect with that bid farewell to the old couple, in the eyes of a large group of local people surprised, continue to line my ass.
Sixi to three-kui, cars are more, 5 yuan, about 40 minutes. To the three-kui, kui bridge in three out of the car, along the Yan Water Street straight ahead. Third, Quebec is the old Taishun county, up to 500 meters of the Yan is row upon row of shops on both sides of Water Street, quite busy. After a Martin Water Bridge, the Sun City Hotel on the opposite river. Looked into, double no toilets, only three human, three human 60 yuan, 40 yuan double room waiter attitude is not very good, a little love to live not live to look, Nazan will not obtain other family?
Is too early to look at Xue house just before the bridge Beizhao Bao won. Xue Wen Hsing house, unlike the bridge Bridge, North Stream Bridge and the East River Bridge is so wearing a red dress, nor the end of the bridge as the rhino stream solemn black face, it's just makeup, true color, see people, do not have some of the elegant simplicity. I have seen covered bridges, the Xue house bridge is the most tall, but it has been four weeks up to 56-story reinforced concrete Tongzilou Wai process in which the shape of the building, but it fails to be a tall body Chen Chu's anger and grief. The Millennium bridge ancient camphor trees, Xue house witnessed the glory and decline of the bridge, I hope the bridge can also be like a house Xue this millennium, like the ancient camphor trees, re-full of vitality.
After reading the Xue house bridge, the sky getting late, should also look Inn, and before the donkey that the bridge in the Xue house there is a newly opened residential inn, but the location is unknown. I have to Xue house bridge as the center around to look for asking to see the distance a sign, I feel like they raise a telescope to see that there are "three Quebec Court" four characters, Oh, really no place to live can not live Here呀. Finally, in the three Quebec alongside the station to find the United States and China hotels, double room with bathroom, 35 yuan, conditions and attitudes of a lot better than Sun City.
Although it was informed that from the boss to the Island Ridge opened the first bus until 9:30, but it is still very early to get up the next day. Your window to see a head-wind cool the morning breeze, the sky clouds blossoming, and glow bright, cold air has passed, I do not have to be Suozhaobozi the Zhijiao cold. Yan Water Street in street-side food stalls eaten a dollar a bowl of rice, sweet potatoes, eat a 8 cents a branded rice pancake, taste good. Then in the early morning sun, in the town next to the fields of view will be a bird in a good mood takes a in the air Like birds. Walked in front of three primary schools in Quebec, a great captain three bars with a small group of students are two bars and a team of bar committee who sweep the streets, but also to me King of the standard ceremony of the Young Pioneers, and say hello. Really rare ah This is the real leadership and ah! Extremely impressed!
There are three-Kui Liu, Block house bridge, some people say tricycles eight dollars back and forth, I saw under the map and decided to go on foot. Quebec from three stations along the road east to go quickly out of town, uphill, there is little of the street. Continue to move forward, over-pearl stone company in the former 100 meters Office, turn right into a small mud path. Come to the end of cement path, turn left into the small gravel roads, over a red brick building, still along the gravel roads to go straight through the Liu HongNing crystal crafts factory, you can see a dilapidated bridge in the Liu family residence. From the three-Kui Liu Station to house the bridge, also 20 minutes, not only saving eight dollars, but also enjoying the autumn Taishun under the pastoral scenery, cost-effective ah.
Liu house bridge, full name Jiaoliu house Cave Hongqiao is Pingqiao, not arch. Bridge has two upstairs room iron door general, no one in the. Couplets pasted from the doorpost on the look, but should also home to other people, I really envy the covered bridges that some people, this is a real ah Bridges of Madison County. But Liu also seen the bridge house the most dilapidated several covered bridges, the deck casually piled wood, straw and other debris, so I was quite right Liu house was a bit worried about the future of the bridge.
Back to the hotel, it is almost 9:00, and finishing Ting Dang, went to the downstairs waiting for Luo to the Island Ridge car. Nine more than the car came, waiting for a train of people plenty of money, swarm, which is the only time in this line of cars on the clogged too. Fortunately, after the crowd got on in the last one crowding out of positions, just sitting next to is also a donkey, donkey-line on the way to encounter the same kind pieces are always happy. And this is the first donkey Surprisingly, Xiamen University graduates, just as we talk about the Xiamen University, Xiamen, talking about when the car was opened, toward the beautiful and lonely, the three bridges was driven away.
