When the train slowly Chi-out site, my heart has gone beyond time and space, unable to find.
By train from Henan, Shaanxi Province to enter more and more yellow as keynote. Incessant loess low slope, in addition to variations in the number of trees shrubs impossible to find. Weathering of the ditch and gully gully slopes, seem primitive to the truth, as the local farmers. In the bright autumn sunshine people do not feel the slightest bleak, blue sky endless reverie provoked wider.
Daisy did not obstruct the roadside to open, next to a disused railway which nestles at the bush, speechless.
Layers of loess slope winds hundreds of miles, as if no end in sight, slope, occasionally a few holes cave, no one disappeared, as if there is time immemorial.
Cang mourning, solemn and distant, must have same applies here, loess-like primitive people, kind-hearted but firm.
In the evening to reach the ancient city of Xi'an, a single view from the train station, mess with the other cities have also made little difference. A taxi to the National Chiao Tung University Guest House, passing the ancient city walls. The relieved against the sunset, even more heavy. Thousands of years of wind and rain erosion, and did not let her carry themselves with dignity, rather than declining precipitation a dash of dignified.
Also in attendance were settled after the House had been hungry, rushed to the well-known Muslim street, back to hear about where the food is the highest concentration of Xian's most distinctive places. And friends to share a bowl of dumplings Suantang may be too hungry, I still think that this is the best I went to Xi'an to eat Dongdong. After that, eating sauerkraut parched rice, in fact, kimchi pork fried rice (I think I did not do worse than him), barbecue, drinking iced sour plum drink (this is the best sour plum drink, I drink, if less Jiadian Tang the better), the corruption of some post-contented. Back to accommodation sleep in preparation for tomorrow's crazy journey.
Early morning went to the railway station, first set a good return journey tickets. Today's destination is the Terra Cotta Warriors and Huaqing Pool along. Found 306 tourist buses, 8 yuan to buy a round trip ticket, began to look for historical sites disappeared.
The first stop was terracotta warriors and horses, when confronted on the 1st hole, the only way to express is amazing. Hundreds of life-sized figurines of soldiers, with neat rows of square, facial expressions are lifelike. Said that when they had just unearthed a long time everybody armed with spears colorful. Although we weathered, still it king of the division's splendor. II and III, although the pits not that big, but the structure more complete. Also featured are the art treasures Tong Juma.
Out of terracotta warriors and horses, but also take 306 back, went to see the Emperor Mausoleum and the spots. Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum is a large hillock, standing his ground overlooking the closure, Yimapingchuan field of vision is extremely broad, quite king weather. Spots of the water has dried up, leaving only one Koizumi is still flowing, where you can wash hands, Think for Royal Bathing of the grace and lazy. Now it is nothing but just an ordinary park.
7:40 the next day ready to ride the Tour two to Famen Temple, when I was at the station just after 7:30 when the first shuttle just getting out. I deeply regret it, no longer such an hour, by 8:30 the car. To the Famen Temple was nearly eleven o'clock. Famen Temple is the largest temple incense as early as the Tang Dynasty to its peak. Even in modern times, one of the famous temple. Temple to the temple treasure-house release ? Nepal's finger relic, of which three are fake, one is true, are said to have a huge Jia Chili. Many people are Buddhist devotees pay homage to.
Monastery next to a museum, the Museum has collections of an ancient Buddhist ritual implements and treasures, well worth a view.
Swim just to catch up with 2:00 to go Qianling Temple of the car, heard in front of car just getting out of a car accident killed a man out of the road were fellow stuffed a. Rogue had no choice but to return. The end, we unanimously decided to return to Xi'an, the driver may again come full circle around Taibaishan to return to Xi'an has a five-point before, and I set the 6:05 train tickets assigned to Huashan. To look for nearly an hour, I decided to put baggage into the youth hostel, rogue Xi'an traffic mess, and so I put away luggage arrived at the railway station has already missed a few minutes. I am not help feeling, because a minute or two late morning, the results all the way down late. No alternative but to switch to cars, tonight there is no way to be on the mountain's.
Instead, faster than the train car, when we reached the town at the foot of Huashan when more than eight. After dinner in a small restaurant, and a restaurant with friends sitting outside the tea break, ready to keep a good energy to climb at midnight. Then I saw next to the hotel there are several foreigners sitting outside chatting, apparently also to climbing a mountain. I ask if they walk up the hill tonight, and they next day. I said that we are ready to climb tonight and tomorrow morning to watch the sunrise at the summit, if they are willing to work together in the mountains. After a few minutes, came a few young men that they have a few people to go with us. Departure, they a total of seven persons. We all started together, after a while, some people will go in front, only one British and one Australian of the elderly and our youth have come together.
Huashan has always been known for with the risk, indeed well-deserved reputation, of which there are several places is almost vertical, we must pull iron chain before they can climb. Along the way, and one and a half months for us to illuminate the sky Starlight Road, opposite the white rocks in the moonlight Fan Chu. Yingyingchuochuo of cliff showing tall and straight silhouette. On the road have also attend to look at the scenery (at night also can not see any real), on the Run! Kept walking, and fatigue resistance, and sleepy, and even dare to stop for too long, afraid to sleep. Four or five o'clock in the morning, physical strength and energy have reached the limit, a friend or even a stop on the fell asleep. I woke him and rubbed his temples continued on our way, hand in hand with each other by the arm, pulling. Finally, near 6:00, when we went to the Dongfeng. Sat on the platform waiting for the sunrise view. 6:00, the horizon began to slowly redness, light up. The Blossoming of the glow of the middle of the face exposed to the sun shyly, a little bit of grinding grinding bass bass, and inadvertently, as if under a great deal of determination to stand out among the clouds.
Watching the sunrise, we began to turn a few peaks. The most dangerous is none other than the sky at large in the South Peak, a steep cliff hanging Banchi wide Plank Road, next to the abyss, and only hung on the rocks on a chain you can climb, dedicated attention of the feet. At this time we will certainly一失足成千古恨Na. Traversed only feel a little scared Plank Road.
At noon the next peak from the north began to fog, blurred vision, and we had to take the ropeway down the mountain. Looked out from the cable car, all is white granite, even blade of grass, which serves as spectacle. Arrived in the foot when the rain is pouring ladle. Eaten back to Xi'an in the town is already late afternoon. Exhausted but I just want to sleep on the Meimeideshui.
The next day get up early, still raining, the temperature decreased. Today is my last day of holiday, but just to start the tour the ancient city of Xi'an. From the youth hostel where the college out near the museum is the Forest of Stone Tablets. Which showcases all historical calligraphy masters of the inscription authentic, Sheng for the rich.
Beilin next to the ancient city wall. Xi'an city wall is to retain was the most complete, several hundred years of wind and rain adds endless for her dignified and primitive. Even the wall, under a grass roots are also traces of precipitation history. Each piece of wall have been documented in the history of wind, frost, snow and rain to witness the times have changed, morals change.
From the walls down, take a tourist line, Ben Big Wild Goose Pagoda away. Big Wild Goose Pagoda has been 1000 years of history. Master Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang learn to come back, that is, where the great Tibetan translation of classical Chinese Buddhism experienced a heyday. Monastery large-scale, imposing extraordinary. The back of Xuanzang Xuanzang Memorial Hall, painstakingly painted the walls of resistance Nishi learn from through the trap. Just met a Japanese religious group in the layout of Hodo, saying that tomorrow will be a Sino-Japanese friendship Act. I was not there to participate in this event of fate.
From the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is already out of the afternoon, and looked for a Northwest-style pasta museum, called the Dingdingyouming of Rouga Mo and a bowl of noodles. Rouga Mo tasty or steamed, chewing up and especially taste, aftertaste and better.
After lunch, then go to Small Wild Goose Pagoda. Small Wild Goose Pagoda is known as China's Leaning Tower of Pisa, its gradient is not Asia and Italy's Leaning Tower of Pisa. If the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a ladylike, Small Wild Goose Pagoda is Xiaojiabiyu. Big Wild Goose Pagoda of its construction Although there is no atmosphere, but more graceful. Inadvertently come to a door, roll-lim falls, swaying in the wind and rain, revealing Yi Gu Zen can not help but go into the curtain opened, the original is a personal studio. Really afford to lose so he must find a place.
Time again, I wandered beyond the control of, is the ancient city, and the time to say goodbye. Hurry if cursory, gave me the bears the deep memories. If we have the opportunity to come, I will live for some time, the connotation of the ancient city of good taste.
