My Xi'an Story
Each set foot on the ladder in the sixth floor of the Tianhe City, think of Rouga Mo, I think of northern Shaanxi, Xi'an mind. Xi'an is also a lot of times, and every time there is no record could be, perhaps because the overall treat it as an Inn. Happened the past few days to see, "Lu Pu-wei," as regards the Xian.
1, the first thing about Xi'an
When in college from Shandong to Chengdu, Xi'an, transit ways, it is the first time. Abnormal crowded train, in the aisle Kaozhu my bag sitting conductor carts selling some even have to get up when the toilet to make way. Some toilets have also been occupied, and do not know how long a hard journey to find a space can be released. So I all the way food and water, to Xi'an, the time off really feeling liberated. Xi'an hot, I did not wish attachment, just to add some water to rush to sign on the last turn of the car. Is still passing cars, one slightly less, I am bored of standing aisle, suddenly head over a little girl, tall figure, soft smooth skin, Les Yeux white teeth, mouth slightly bare smile, proudly passing, suddenly stopped at my side. Originally came to draw water. I d.m.z. some dizziness, but closely followed her eyes. I think it was ballet of the bar, her every movement was so light dexterity.
Place a vague memory here, I think I have a very simple with her dialogue:
You are the students? Yes.
A few older, you? Third-year.
You are on the train from Xi'an? Yes.
Where, Chengdu? Yes ah, and her mother together.
Then she hand pointing to the back of cars.
When I spoke is definitely cramped, and she was a natural. Filled with water, she said good-bye, I had to say good-bye, turned around to see her still lithe, start. I am staring she disappeared, lost in thought.
Maybe the above is just my conjecture, but I am really impressed by her, played a heart waves. After that came the seat, sit down and nostalgia, she has been thinking about the kind of pure elegance and looks, such a small age, I have unlimited emotion, in the dark with shaking of the train reverie. Then I remember that moment for several years.
Even after a passer-Xian, but time is short, until the work only after a real opportunity to visit the city.
2, 96-year visit Xi'an
96 in the autumn months, and feng shui to Luoyang to participate in the classes, the Longmen Grottoes and the Eastern Han period saw the tomb museum, but also on the Songshan. Finished studying a few students do not want in Guangdong, back, talk a bit to go after Xi'an bar, such a close, moved for departure. The station at night, dimly lit, out of respect by some guy wearing a military overcoat were surrounded, inviting refused to let go, competing over a long time, we also like to struggle to escape out to the perimeter quickly got into a car, said the find clean and cheap accommodation. Fortunately the driver Yes, we will hold, he complained that the security management is so bad ah, he said, Well, no way, more than outsiders.
Lived in a guest house metallurgical, very cheap, only heating enough sleep at night cold. The next day on the commission to the military forces of China and Pakistan, in fact, a day trip or a group similar, but also went to see the hole of the, Lishan Huaqing Pool. The remaining'll take us to new office attractions, opposed by only a small car to go two. Baqiao sees the word, suddenly felt the ancient customs and murderous.
May be due to more pictures to see the real soldiers and horses to see how much emotion there is no commission. Saw 2 main pits, arranged in neat mighty force indeed spectacular, but the same as the fake, but added that military commission broken or tilt carriage remind people buried under the loess lamented the Millennium years. The desolation of the hole of the cold wind swirling on a late autumn havoc with people still higher than the brown humilis, heaven and earth here seamless. Down, the imitation of the troops and horses bought two domestic helpers, is schungite clay.
Because, together with the unit's leadership, not in a good run around in the evening to come back casually found a restaurant to eat mutton Paomo, put a bowl of steamed is done by shredding, and do not feel authentic, but the cold weather, hot haunted mutton soup, eat special incense. Finished slightly Guangyi Xia went back to sleep. Dawn, study a little, decided to go big, Small Wild Goose Pagoda, Forest of Stone Tablets, and Banpo.
No impression of the Small Wild Goose Pagoda, Big Wild Goose Pagoda is very clear. Because the story of Big Wild Goose Pagoda are more bar, and Xuan Zang is closely associated visibility is much higher. Beilin where the deepest impression of Cursive, and Xu Li Si's Xiaozhuan. Nearby on the wall, overlooking the gray in Xi'an. Banpo site is visited the building with the idea of going, but, been shocked by these prehistoric cultures and know the glory of mankind has always been that kind of eye-catching.
Can be considered to have a point of awareness of Xi'an, both in urban or suburban, the air a little bit cold, everywhere schungite color, sniffing the breath of loess, muddy oblivious surrounded by ancient, admired, with emotion, confusion, loss, no one can not, no one and can be. Even modern looks and language, still Qin Feng still around, but people sadly, this is shrouded by history to live in the city.
3, from the northern Shaanxi Xi'an
Guangzhou - Beijing - Baotou - Shenmu - Yulin - JIAXIAN - Mizhi - Suide - Yan'an - Tongchuan ---- Xi'an
Yulin in northern Shaanxi mountain to the water,
Mizhi the Po Yi is the United States.
Mizhi Suide of Po Yi Han,
Wayaobao Qingjian stone charcoal.
98 National Day all the way eolian, on the high loess slope.
To Baotou railway station daybreak, cold. To Yulin, said the car may soon go, bought tickets to the street to find food quickly, are Baiji bun, so one person one, chop the beef and mutton to run back a few hours before the results go. Desertification on the road heavy, after Dongsheng, when large tracts of sunflowers hung his head to see the sun more intense, with wind and sand, it is very hard. Shenmu is a typical north-west town, and from are coal cars, but added very busy. First time I saw was wearing a white beard Yang Du towel Retention elderly, and those who side with red apple cheeks Zhuang Xiuli little girl excitement, I finally reached northern Shaanxi.
Yulin is a city, when the border city of Ming and Qing dynasties. Much like the format of housing in Beijing courtyard, the walls are still incomplete, brick streets are still, and the demolition of homes in the non-stop. Wandering in the ancient city where there are often shiny red car out of the Prince Edward, the pace of the modern seems to eventually be buried here. The morning came to Hong Shixia, elm River flowing slowly, the surrounding silence. Under the green willow Chaoyang elm wind flowing, set off a mighty rock walls Huang Cancan LITHOGLYPHS. People everywhere, swirling around sparrow. Much valuable river sand soft, light foot down, cool up of transparent, are pleasant.
A street on the shore of the Yellow River JIAXIAN propped up evening out to eat nothing but potatoes, roast beef, tomatoes, fried eggs and the like, finished went to barbecue, drink and chat, talking about "East is Red" in the life of the original author Here, there is a famous story:
Mao is said to be the year to catch up with Chiang Kai-shek, from the Yan'an tired this way, case of White Cloud Temple, seeking to sign on, the exultation, swept over the Yellow River. Chiang Kai-shek that heard the matter, disdain, seeking to sign to discourage unsuccessful, may, under the next. Jiang was furious, threw hand away. Later the results were confirmed, baiyun reputation earthquake.
White Cloud Temple is located in the Baiyun Mountain, the west has the largest Taoist architectural complex. Gondola ride like a tractor in the past, many people, incense is not wang. Temple incense burner stands in the Yellow River on the shore, a towering boulder on the land in order to bridge, written just lean on a railing overlooking the Yellow River meandering 9 come into the land of Shaanxi and Shanxi. From Hyangnobong down to the shore, silt and sand mixed with diffuse, such as river water, which nurtured the mother river of Chinese nation, and now it is muddy bear.
I have been used to describe the end of Zhuang Xiuli seen in northern Shaanxi, woman, plump face flush with the narrow forever, she is plump but not fat, gentle and virtuous is also graceful, everything just right, no wonder you can closed the month will bring up Diao Chan. Li Zicheng Mizhi's palace in a school inside the central hall displays Mizhi stories show women's revolution. Black Dragon Pool is also a good place, because in such a dry place clear how refreshing spring water, people fascinated.
The Suide bright and spacious living in caves very excited about, walking into this really relaxed a bit. Fusu the tomb of Qin's son and Mengtian screen, it is a desolate, abandoned to imagine the year is really chilling. Together with the Museum's collection of paper-cut went to see a real honest lovely folk craft, it is never called. Decided to improve their lives, eating crisp golden fragrant oils beautiful spiral, drinking buckwheat Geda Tang and feel happy, ate dates one by one put drunk into the mouth and enjoy the sweet.
Yan'an a little disappointed to open the flood gates to all the same people everywhere have been tours occupation, cases of licenses went to the jujube, Yangjialing, and then in the pagoda Piedmont photos. In northern Shaanxi trip to this end.
The Huangling and Tongchuan (who said this is a city in Henan) returned to Xi'an, I once again boarded the walls, overlooking Xi'an, still feel it is simple yet profound culture, and finally to try authentic lamb Paomo.
Chose the old Sun family's head office, outside the city, Oh, boxy room, window-ming, a few bright, spacious and very good. The waiter came, Lomo, we are chatting while breaking off. To tell the truth to the whole to the very small is not easy, one bun is the unleavened dough, and very hard; second, do not stop with the soup from the side glide, and floated away, while the aroma lingers, lingered linger , garlic quickly eaten, the cake is also sneaking into his mouth stuffed not fresh, sharp eyes and keen all directions, many patrons had been switched on, the more sharper break with both hands, so outraged, calls out: it is so in! The final throw of the steamed wild pull a few big Hai Wan, reminders waiter quickly processed. Breaking the Master is said to like to see a very thin bun, processing time will be better conditioning, but we believe that there is more than we do not fine, and also peace of mind. Other side to come back, full bowl of soaked bun a bit inflated, floating in the shiny soup, he wanders the dark green of the coriander, red chilli paste, color incense Pumian. Try a light, rich soup lose sweet, tender steamed appearance spirit come inside to meet the just right. Xilihuala only heard a sound, immersing themselves in a few minutes, no one to speak, and then about the same time the rise and said, Well, amused.
After dinner stroll, encountered hawkers, good Fuji triple pound, subsequently thought the money in Yulin is a five pound Fuxian a money, to here, Hehe. However, looking at that big red and smooth, shiny apples, could not resist the temptation, and also bought a lot.
Due to the northern Shaanxi, so Xi'an.
4, from Xining to Xi
Guangzhou - Lanzhou - Xining - Qinghai Lake - Tianshui - Maijishan - --- Xi'an Huashan again over the past two years, in 2000 51 and then back to Xi'an, but this time it came from Xining.
Lanzhou days sunny and dry, the sun warm too. Dazzling sunlight, rolling loess hill people Yaoyao Yu sleep. Lanzhou is a long, narrow city.
Xining clear blue sky, watching the clouds pass up the sun and the moon under overcast shade, near the Castle Peak and the distant snow-capped mountains; also Mani pile, sitting on the grass of the Tibetan children. All the way cattle and sheep, grass green, when yellow, when suddenly there is a blue line in front of the rises, which is Qinghai Lake.
I can not to describe her, without much feeling, until on the Bird Island. Numerous vigil or flying creatures, and with great naturally appear on any possible place. The blue sky and lake, weeds around 4 to capsize reddish yellow, the air and peaceful people was suffocating. Everything is perfect whole, universal brotherhood.
In the lake eating lamb clutch, I do not know true and false of the Huang River fish, potatoes, tomatoes. Return looking at the night sky, the stars bright, dazzling, we use songs to drive away the cold. To Xining enough, scrape together public funds, to the night markets to drink beer, dishes, and Mala Tang Chi Yang. Noon the next day into the Dongguan Mosque, the yard was covered with pink yellow flower, redolent with fragrance as the sun shines down and there is sparse shadows. Older believers enjoy the cool, the young attend, Kongkuo serene courtyard.
The earliest in the Tianshui station take a bus to go Maijishan. If you see the Buddha sitting on a rick, look over the distant mountains, but also looked at the crowd silent. The statue began in the era of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, style simple, dignified demeanor most serious, there are only two shawls hair reveals a number of avant-garde. Niche at the top of the treatment is relatively simple, rarely as gorgeous Yungang caisson. Because the mountain constraints, there is no giant sculpture. Like a mural, like the Wu Daozi write about flying.
I really like the name of Tianshui, the earliest to know is to see the Three Kingdoms, allegedly derived from the "Milky Way's water." Fu Xi Temple worship of the first human ancestor to see both sides of the pine and cypress Qiu Jin bleak, San Juan's first truly awe-inspiring. Know the very famous local snacks, side asked while looking at the store eat a quack, there are peas and buckwheat to see the owner will be making all sorts of oily tear small pieces, add Spicy, mustard, soy sauce, salt, vinegar and garlic and so cold a came, also in the speculation of a, very tempting. Eat, uninhibited, eat fast. In the street-side eating Niangpi, Northwest, there usually is, used for seasoning with the quack is similar to indulge in refreshing taste more refreshing. Finally drinking Dusi soup and spicy dry it feel to Yuquan view of several bottles of water during irrigation.
Went to Xi'an, early in the morning to see Big Wild Goose Pagoda and Shaanxi Provincial Museum. The trees sprout in spring, and the air waving Fei Xu. Were infected, we are constantly sneezes. Dayan Tarja dance windblown sand, loess sky, climb the tower is still saving money. Museum spring sunshine, bright flowers open in the history of cast bronze edge become increasingly abundant. Blocks in the vicinity of the museum to eat Sichuan, Guanzi Li hung red lanterns.
At four o'clock on the trip you can easily stop climbing Huashan Station. When outbound tourism saw a lot of people, to the foot of the mountain rains a shower, who then dispersed along the two students also incidentally counterparts. After dinner mountaineering, night fell completely, when there is light rain, some slippery slope of the road. But the speed is not affected. Qianchi buildings are encountered when approaching storm. Summing up the benefits of the mountains at night is easy to concentrate on not disturbing the environment. Qianchi buildings, Bai Zhangxia It's that easy by.
Morning in a platform area for a rest for a long time, entertainment to the body a bit cold, and then start climbing. Did not think they had a long time, until dawn, rushed to Dongfeng. In the ladder before the confluence, exhausted, decided to turn in the past. To see through the clouds, splendid with the sun.
Really enjoy the scenery down the mountain like decorative painting, such as the washed cloth on the dotted some green ink, Bifeng vigorous sharp, steep mountain winds. Because of the central leadership visited his family up the mountain, North Peak tramway blockade, stranded four hours. Fortunately, cableway tickets given us two tickets sold at the foot of the mountain 100, psychological slight consolation. Began to sleep on the train, because prices and vehicle owners quarrel, after changing to another car, rickety, drowsily back to Xi'an.
Tired, but there are appetite, to the west of the Muslim snack street street circuit, eat mutton string, Shouzhua meat, beef pie, green bean cake and also a KFC in the bell tower to enjoy ice cream. Trapped pole, fully clothed and sleep. The next morning bath to the wall under the Forest of Stone Tablets, in the blocks to find the Qin Yu Rou Gamo, squeezed into shops, eating expensive than other stores 5 cents a bun, drinking warm soup, stomach hearts are comfortable. Visited the relics of a street, bought a small terracotta warriors and horses, Xun and Hu County peasant paintings, unsuccessfully looking for shadow play.
In this connection, other than Xian Xianyang, aircraft flying in the blue sky, thinking the birds in Qinghai Lake, I do not know when I can handle that freedom.
At this point, and Sian-related stories come to an end, for me, Xi'an are: walls, soldiers and horses domestic helper, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, lamb bubble, and Rou Gamo.
