Red Star Over China (1)
I do not know why, despite four years have spent time in Xi'an, but the west is still of great appeal to me. Perhaps, as Xiaoxiao said, is the thousand Buddha silently waiting for me. So he packed up his luggage a feeling of stupid stupid Random Hearts, once again starting toward the west.
Cynomorium, Lock "sheep"
Suo Yangcheng arrival is more than 19:00, and in Shanghai, is considered a night. However, in this, it seems there is some way from the early evening. At this time of the ancient city looked lonely but no shortage of brilliant side. In the box office, no one giving an account of a good driver if requests for tickets until after the replacement ticket to come back. So the urgent忽忽ran straight to the ancient city. Once the turret, the walls Although residual puisne Duanbi, but history does not seem passing away of a still conceivable that once blossom. Recalling that we think this is the ancient time, uninvited guest --- the ancient city administrator, and his unreasoning force the four of us to go with the replacement ticket. In his next pair of glasses unpredictable his eyes so that we can not judge the good and evil. Complement finished uneasy votes, this time accompanied by tour guides, we have binary Cynomorium.
Miss guide told us that it is Cynomorium urban construction in the Han Dynasty, the city formerly known as bitter valley. The origin of the name is because the northwest is desolate and sparsely populated since ancient times, the valley was due to built in two ancient Suoyang Cheng Shan (Qilian Mountain and Castle Peak) between. Cynomorium have three great treasures: Tamarix, bell grass and Cynomorium. Suo Yangcheng a dozen species of Tamarix, giving botanists to provide excellent research opportunities; bells will be issued under the grass in the wind like wind chimes as pleasant voice; and "Cynomorium," I went to the Fang Cai know that the kinds of plants with high medicinal value, but "39 Cynomorium race ginseng" in the world. As the Northwest and drought, Cynomorium are attached to Tamarix, white thorn arid plants such as the growth of a large root system. And how to find it? Tour guide told us that after the snow during the winter, if the place did not snow often in the vicinity of Cynomorium, its heat can melt the surrounding snow; in the absence of snow when the soil is relatively loose around Cynomorium . Our tour guide said Wucongkaozheng actual situation, but the introduction to her amazement. We follow the guide began to hunt for hidden treasures for the first time did not succeed, and we laughed as ginseng Cynomorium dolls, once found it necessary to tie red string, otherwise it will run away; the second round of excavation were successful, and we dug a Cynomorium , it is like a strawberry-like ruddy, on our side as the explorers dug up treasures like excitement, while also carefully again it will be buried soil.
A detailed description of tour guides let us grow a lot seen or heard. There are no other tourists, only we. Fortunately, there is no harassment of tourists, so that we can experience the quiet of the desolate Old City. We are pleased, however, too early. Want us to replacement ticket of the four "handsome" (bad) Cape, brought us to "reception", began his blackmail. That we have violated the provisions of the photo shoot of the film should not be allowed unauthorized access to "national treasures" units. He threatened to confiscate our film, we refused to accept, after a bargain we have a fine 200. From the "reception room" came out, the sun has already Xi Chen, landed on the horizon. Looking at the sunset on the Gobi desert, behind the Old City, could not help but think that this millennium Old City like a sunset, though gorgeous beauty is fleeting, leaving behind only regret and grief.
Aggrieved at the injustice of 200 yuan, so have become a Suoyang Cheng Lock "sheep" downtown.
