Travels in northern Shaanxi
2001 Spring Festival, namely the new century, the first Spring Festival, in order to respond to the call of the central develop the western region, I and three friends went to the Shaanxi and Shanxi, where a taste of the Chinese New Year atmosphere. We are three men and a woman, I, Yi, Stephen, and Miss Yung. Journey there are some interesting things, hoping to share with friends.
2001.1.24 New Year's Day to Taiyuan:
West Railway Station to ride the train at night, on two days of morning and 6:30 to Taiyuan. Taxi stand go west a quarter of an hour went to the bus stop, according to plan, we intend to first in northern Shaanxi, such as Suide, Mizhi, Yulin, Ansai, Yan'an and other places, where the Chinese New Year mood, you are lucky you may even see a Ansai waist drum performance.
Although there are psychologically prepared for, or did not expect that, stops the car a lot of lines have been suspended, it is necessary to the fourth day it opened. No way, only chartered to Suide, and Suide is only 400 kilometers away from Taiyuan about. We started looking for car, taxi to the street is that many, so stopped in a Santana, a driver must open 1000 yuan.
"I.. Bah!" Benefit of his angry refusal, big New Year's still so dark.
Again one,
"800?"
"Pooh! Pooh!"
"600?"
"Pooh, Pooh, Pooh!"
"5!"
"?@#$%&*~!"
"It.. Less penalty points it?" Beneficial to the old lady spitting charges 3 yuan of money.
In fact, haggling is true, followed by the scripts is my imagination, Taiyuan no health supervisors, even if there is also home of the New Year. Is already 10 o'clock, or could not find the car to go Suide really not keep up with changes in program呀! Then change the line to the south line of the ancient city of Pingyao. Pingyao Taiyuan distance 90km, CMB 1.5 hours to go.
Pingyao Ancient City circumference 6. 4km, a similar pattern of city residential buildings in Beijing courtyard, there are a lot of the Ming and Qing era of banking house, ticket number, Biaoju, County Yamen, and we visited most of the week ring attractions, the basic fare cut by half by us. We stayed at the people at hotels, ten-dollar per person, cheap! Middle of the night just stopped heating, frozen Yuwen straight snoring. I and benefits, may have brought a sleeping bag, my sleeping is appropriate, been beneficial to his down sleeping bag (in this field which is used) Thermal wake up several times. We talk a good ride tomorrow morning's 7:20 train to obtain other car to Hukou Waterfall of Linfen.
2001.1.26 third-year to Jixian:
The morning found that we were locked up in a hotel! Locked the door and watch the train departure time is coming, or to find people to open the door, porter was Yuwen and knock on a lot of benefits back, black with light, I do not know that no one inside. Finally Yuwen anxious, and grabbed the door porter to shake fierce drag force, and they cried out: open the door to! (Is not: take life to!) Finally, the room with the ring. So we four Chenzhuoyese, snow Jizou marching on the streets leading to the railway station, 10 minutes away even 1. 5km, closing a door on the train the last minute. Linfen until only found here, have no car to Hukou. Are anxious, the met a group of Cantonese, and they go Hukou Waterfall. Decided to join chartered, but is still looking for a long time without results, a travel agency to inquire about the roadside, saying that the way to the Hukou has been sealed snow, station wagons are stopped. Into the Piedmont must have rice! So we decided to eat, tells us to discuss. There is a hot pot restaurant near the station, we asked for a table in Beijing four eating boiled mutton, Guangdong's own to open a table to eat noodles, to discuss the next step of their journey. I stand to Jiuzhaigou, although I've been there, but should certainly got Jiuzhaigou winter, if the next scene would be better in the snow. The benefits stand to Guilin, Yuwen is no where been, casual, where capacity is also thought to go see.
Cantonese noodles to eat is fast, taking a step, saying it was sitting near the 11 Road to the bus station take a look at the Confucian Temple, it is estimated there will be to Jixian car, to the Jixian can be re-chartered to the Hukou, and Shuaixia 1 say: Let's Hukou see! (It turns out the Hukou had not seen them, and this is something put aside).
After dinner, we also want to go to the Confucian Temple bus stop to try his luck, so a taxi to the station, really good luck, really have a go Jixian the minibus soon opened, many people on board, according to the driver that this is the last class, and then struggling to squeeze in up (probably when the group of Cantonese road car it is still 11 bar).
We are demanding the standing board is very crowded, and only reluctantly put the foot of place where even I have no space for a big bag, from time to time along the way re-Exalted, and thus we adhere to the 3.5 hours, to Jixian has during the evening. We stayed to the power hotel. 6 sets of the evening saw the central quiet speech put the "Yellow River Love", which has several Hukou Waterfall of the lens.
Hukou 2001.1.27 fourth day out of danger:
As early as 9 o'clock we had a Santana package Hukou straight away, saying that a good round-trip tickets for a total re-package
250. Car along the winding mountain highways, the window is also under the snow, roads have been snow covered. Fortunately, our Che Gulu installed anti-skid chains, the driver said that if there is no anti-skid chains for more money, he would not go. From Jixian to Hukou are 49km, we have a half an hour to go.
Far in the car heard a great sound of running water, I saw not far from the mist Manifest, under the car along the bridge toward the mist of the place to go, still can not see the waterfall, only to hear sound, go found near the original Hukou Waterfall on our feet. Novo saw a big surging Yellow River through a narrow 30-meter-wide mouth Zhixie down, very spectacular. Really: The Yellow River water heaven, pour a pot of close to this!
Hukou the cliff edge on the ground has been Dongbing, there are several photographers taking pictures regardless of danger, we are also a few sections under the snow bold steps, to the bottom of the cliff, waterfall, and we have only just one step away, we saw next to the precipice numerous articles on Dong Zhuo icicle, coupled with surging waterfall rushing toward us, at this time, not on bad already. Suddenly, a big wave to attack us, the camera, and physical benefits have been wet, and the lens was covered by Wong points.
"There paper do, I wipe the lens." Benefits very anxious, saying that ideas are dry and poor soil rubbed.
"There wow, or is my preferred brand: emery brand lens paper, you had better save point with ah!"
We returned to shore, and found that an uncle, dressed in traditional clothing in northern Shaanxi, holding a small donkey, is waiting to take pictures of people to make money. I then walked over and Grandpa talk, can not take advantage of riding a donkey?
Grandpa asked: "is to take pictures here? Price of a good talk."
"No!"
"Then you.."
"I want to.. Fly.. Yellow!"
"Ah ?@#$%^&*"
After all, donkey-fei Huang more difficult than in a number of cars and motorcycles, northern Shaanxi, uncle, of course rejected me. Maybe he cares about, not me but his donkey bar.
To leave the Hukou, our car came to the town of Yellow River Hukou Bridge ago, people decided not to return to Jixian, and they take the other side of the car to 50km outside of Yichuan and then to Yenan, without a car walk to Yichuan. Then scored 250 to pass the bag to the driver the driver, to walk across the bridge and found the opposite to us there are four people walking, followed by a 2020 jeep parked. Came up a question, they may also pack a car to Hukou, from the spout back and forth Yichuan to 240 yuan, but all they want to go to Jixian. The world is it really that clever thing? We have two sets of people as long as the transfer, without adding money to be able to go to their respective places to go, anyway Well cars are packets back and forth. Alas! Unfortunately, our Santana gone. They had stopped a small face, asking price 200 yuan, so we give them a hundred dollars, and the good that we talk and the driver of their 2020 to yichuan sit, and they take a small plane to go Jixian.
This is a compromise, enabling both sides of the provinces 100, In fact, if we do not let Santana go on both sides of the driver can not be completely at no cost, as long as substitutions on the line (it turns out trouble has only just begun). Almost no snow in the West Bank of the Yellow River, it seems, after all, Shaanxi loess slope, dry water呀. Vehicle westbound along the winding mountain roads, we were attracting the beauty of the shore of the Yellow River, yellow soil, blue sky and white clouds, wow game. .
Suddenly the driver, that young man in northern Shaanxi openings went on: "how do you so stupid? Back to them 100 yuan money?"
"Ah? TU? Well?.. So that Mies? (What does that mean)"
"I mean, you take my car Why give them money? Let people get you white-100. Yichuan get you to give me 150 yuan, you have to take my car give me money, not white-sit!" We are in unison: "No.. be.. be able to! their packets back and forth to your car is 240 yuan, people have to give money to you, you do not control who replaced the car sit and just returned to Yichuan even task, 240 yuan, but the package you back and forth! "
Drivers on the spot and we wanted to dispute, and we do not talk smart, and temporarily, and his theory, if his strained throwing our half-Road on the shrimp, and we were silent, the calm before the storm.
2km away from the car to Yichuan also stops in front of a gas station refueling, the driver control our money, so we had a heated quarrel. I believe, a few miles away Yichuan county can hear our voice. Yuwen is indeed the Peking Man, son of the old Beijing dialect Suizui play is fully exposed, Beijing dialect is the sound of children big and fast that the maximum sentence is: "Why.. On what basis.. On what basis呀!." Right young man could not get on the car, then anxious face was red. Last straight begging: "You do get off-line, Not yet Well I do not want money." "No! Will not work! Jiner咱have to say to understand, so how can ah, always thought that people in old revolutionary base areas in northern Shaanxi plain, so that you are a farce, all are ruining the reputation." Yuwen we pulled the car, straight to persuade him: sitting a day's car, the sports movement to go two steps, and Yuwen reluctantly out of the car. Yi Liuyan no shadow of 2020.
Did not take the moment they arrive at a Yichuan county, just to catch up with a trip made to the Yan'an Yi Weike, we are always good luck, the total at the last minute to catch the bus. In retrospect, our experience, or lack of it should be allowed to go Jixian dial to give us 240 yuan package fares, such as the driver pulled yichuan our then we give him money, it might be better. Alas! Or young呀!
Car 4 hours to the northwest, we have reached the coveted old liberated areas in northern Shaanxi - Yan'an.
Yan'an in my impression still at secondary school textbooks, as described in caves, Pagoda Hill, extension of the water. . Faction in northern Shaanxi good scenery. However, children not the case at this time the extension of the river nearly dry, the so-called Baotashan upper primary slope is a few tens of meters, the pagoda is also shrouded in the fog of urban pollution. . .
Getting dark, we must hurry to find a place to live, in fact, there is a station next to the hotel - transportation hotel, but we looked inside, they too benefit bedding dirty, so we began a long journey to find hotels.
We are a transport hotel door was a "prop shop" got entangled in a so-called "prop shop" and "rice care", our self-service travel often encountered. Is what you where are they Jiugen go, with you Mohuazhaohua, you was about to enter a restaurant or hotel, they stepped forward to lead the way, help you open the door, kept repeating with his mouth: Come, this restaurant (or hotel) is good, I introduced you satisfied with the package, you see the price of vegetables, this volume, the boss to get the menu, sitting this bar, window quiet. . In fact, we simply do not know him, nor is he introduced to, but he earned the child soliciting charges. Entrusted to deal with shops that ignore him, she wanted to live there, lived there. We have been entrusted with that shop and out of various shops, due to the Spring Festival period, the better of the hotels are closed. By comparison of the Transport Hotel is good, then have come a full circle back.
2001.1.28 fifth day of the Yanan and Ansai (almost be regarded as a thief):
It's a nice morning, went to Baotashan, Tuya at the foot of the Chairman of the inscription is next to inconceivable that the reference to the pillar words: "National Instructor," a greater and deeper strokes, how can not be erased during the Cultural Revolution it? The morning four of us squeezed into a small-Alto CPC Central Committee came to the original location: jujube round.
Here are the President, Zhu Laozong the prime minister's house, into the rows of caves built on mountains, caves either One Bedroom, Liangshiyiting, the older generation of revolutionaries of the deeds of the house there is the introduction and large-scale production spinning wheel, etc., when used in items. We were outside the cave on a cliff side deep black hole to attract, I do not know what use is a row of rain? Do not like, too, about the size of 80cmx80cm, almost next to each row there is a cave. President of cave dwelling has a side, but doubled in size, about 80cm wide and 160cm high. Are wondering, the academics can not even next to the visitor that this is authentic and can lead to the mountain, there is an officer of the Party can be transferred immediately.
To leave the date round, we went to the CPC Central Committee Secretariat Location: Yangjialing, we sat Alto opened straight into the car, ha ha, province of tickets. Although there is no date Yangjialing circle points to an area of large, modern buildings have to some, not only the cave, as well as auditorium, two-story conference building of tall buildings and other stone. In a cave, we vaguely heard a female voice singing in northern Shaanxi folk songs, singing it mildly, we are look inside Tantoutannao, song children stopped, it was said: Come. You enter the cave until they found that the cave is only 10 square meters size, burning brazier, feeling very warm. Aunt and a house with a little girl singing the song Aunt, very northern Shaanxi flavor. Aunt continued to sing in the paper-cutting, a little girl was cooking, they did not because we have to enter the pause. The walls plastered with a variety of paper-cut, a certificate and a photo. In a certificate, we found that the humble child of the woman is the country's leading paper-cut artist Fu-loving northern Shaanxi. I've seen more than its paper-cut works, Fu-Ai shear much more complex, involving a subject matter is also very rich.
Afternoon, we take long-haul trucks rushed to the Ansai, hoping to catch up with the Chinese New Year drum performance. An hour later to the Ansai. The streets deserted, and without our imagination drum programs, people are disappointed, it is already at 4 pm more to arrive next Mizhi no longer possible, only to find hotels stay there.
We are in the street while visiting the border to find hotels, find a good place - Ansai Folk Museum. Fortunately, the museum was not closed due to Chinese New Year, thinking we were the only few visits Moreover, all the way by instructors, the fare has been cut into each of our five-qualified personnel, should be very value. Was sudden, it turns out trouble. . .
The museum is open the door, but in fact only two women on duty, they wanted to go to the current Zhaoyao Chi. Waited 20 minutes to finally get the keys to open the first one upstairs hall - Folk Art Museum. Inside are paintings of local middle-aged women in northern Shaanxi, painting, and the minimum age is also 50 years old. The contents of northern Shaanxi folk scenery, figures, animals, flowers and birds,
Genie legends, colors, bright exaggerated, the characters are also painted an exaggerated deformation, there is an infestation of the simple America.
The second visit is the Heritage Hall Museum, opening its gates when Aunt some hesitation, say no matter whether to see, which no good looking and use the key to tighten for a long time had not opened the door. At this time we Yuwen again has spoken: "I come all the way to the door of the both, and how are the two into the hug, not laborious, is this key? I help you open the door, opened the door I am best at, what is difficult open I could open the door to open... "
Yuwen, if Taidalielie straight down I could hear muttering. I do not know how, just Aunt opened for a long time actually did not really open the door to open so that Yuwen open. Yuwen the first step into the legs, suddenly remembered ring tones, but the sound is very small, we have no care. It turns out you have not seen a minute, alarm big to do about 150 decibels, and we all panic, and too busy to think carefully to appreciate the hurry out, re-locked the door. May ring is still a very sound of the door shutter doors on the first floor is also slowly lowered, automatic lock. We are trapped in a noisy room, feeling like a thief, like so much should be able to hear the voice of the street. Aunt have no idea of duty, only to call the director called. We found that sound is a little speaker hanging on the wall, cable connected, as long as the line cut no sound, but the alarm system also was destroyed, and now have to wait, and twenty minutes later, a bell was finally stopped (estimated battery is dead), the volume associated doors opened.
Curator did not blame us, pulling us to see the third hall - paper cutting Museum. I did not expect a piece of paper cut in the northern Shaanxi people can become so rich and colorful Chinese zodiac is a small case, there are eight basic movements Ansai waist drum. Paper-cut is also sold overseas, the benefits and tolerance is a sense of taste, pick and choose to buy some of it. We have seen in the streets wearing national costumes and a few kids hanging drum flowing nose at the walk, then came forward inquiries, listening to a child shows days of drum performances, so we are very excited about.
2001.1.28 sixth days of Ansai, Jingbian.
The morning they found several hang drum up children, so keep letting go, came to a village before the cave, there are more children, both boys and girls face painted red lips,
Very cute.
