Morning wake up is October 2, and is not yet dawn, the train parked unchanged. In fact, did not sleep last night, with an average one and a half hours waking time, the spirit is exceptionally good. The train was very slow, day daybreak, I looked curiously at the window, I could only see black woo woo the mountain shadow. Mind a kind of sense of accomplishment, a few days ago was still far off place now at hand.
6 am, Yan'an up. The train, a surge of cold face descend quickly, Qinglie the air inhaled into the lungs, feeling like the weather in Shanghai in December. We went to the bus station by car and asked to Hukou of the car, a road to more than 4 hours, almost no halo in the past. Because students of Xi'an tell us of just over 1 hours. The first time we went out to some difficulties. We are chartered to discuss the decision to go, Hukou definitely want to go. Finally found a little bread, the driver said, took us to Hukou, in a direct take us back to Xi'an, the whole day, our counter-offer to the 950, started the day on the Loess Plateau travel.
We first went to a pagoda in cities, mountains, looking down from the hills, you can see that the entire Yan'an Yan'an small, is built along the Yan River, quietly lying on the valley. Who would have thought there was once a renowned red capital? We are in the famous pagoda before photographed. Went to the foot of the mountain, his back to Yan River Bridge, in order to Baotashan as the background, co-Chang Ying. In this way we hurriedly left the sacred place of revolution, I had intended to play in the half-day here, and now plans to upset the whole. Fills time constraints, or to see the "Yellow River Mother" bar.
Car a short while on the road in the Loess Plateau, the birthplace of the Chinese nation on the road. I imagine there is not as barren, vegetation is also a lot of roadside are crops. From time to time will pass through some small villages, and the television to see the same, the house is to use loess puzzle, very simple and not often seen in the countryside where quaint brick pavilion and a very modern small Western-style. Almost did not see the road signs of cave of Shaanxi, some people squatted street, watching us like a car passing cars. Occasionally, after a large town, bumped into a fairground scene, quite lively. It appears that farmers in northern Shaanxi is still very poor. As will be through the well-known Nanniwan, we have been inquired with the driver. After Nanniwan, I find that it is no different from other places, only worn a similar construction of the pavilion, a testament to its past glory.
Terrain gradually climb, you can see a broader space. This gradually experience the beauty of the Loess Plateau, surrounded by all ditch and gully gully, ditch deep, thick loess bare, looked very strong, will never fall down. Such endless scenery of these mountains as if no one has been laid waste, there is no signs of human habitation. Road is already a shop in loess, but fortunately, had just rained yesterday, heard, or will be filled the yellow sand.
Auto start seven Shui to bend around the winding roads of the land, it seems pretty soon. When the car around the last col, suddenly saw the foot of the mountain of the Yellow River flowing quietly, for the first time to see the Yellow River, but I have not seen the river as Hun Huang can not see the above sparkling like covered with soil yellow paint across the sky like colorful markers.
Opened along the Yellow River did not for a while, 12:30, Hukou Waterfall is up on the road spent a total of more than three hours, more than 200 kilometers, we have six individuals paid three personal money. Oh, right, but he still went to the second "best in the world dirty," hey, forget the film down.
We have heard the sound of rushing water, and finally see the waterfall, and is very spectacular, the water a great start we are also concerned about the Yellow River has it. Here the river is very narrow, only about 20 meters wide, the river roaring flow from the foot than the Journey to the West Village to see Liu Shahe still turbulent. Hukou is indeed well-deserved reputation, the upper reaches of the wide river to where a sudden choke, the river poured down, issue rumbling sound resounded through the whole valley. Come near, a place filled with the water spout struck the rock below the water spray thrown up, carefully look at, but also you can see a rainbow flying across the two sides. Quickly takes out his camera to shoot up. Across the river is Shanxi Province, and separated the two sides were close by home, but like a horizon. Yellow River water splashed on the hands, in the sun irradiation, a short while to dry, the water turned into a small pile of sand, but I have never seen this spectacle. Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River water, rebellious, continuously flowing thousands of years known as embodying the spirit of the Chinese nation, the Yellow River has witnessed many vicissitudes of history, standing at Yellow River, as if to see for a thousand years past and our nation prosperous vitality. Really, can not live, you will not realize the kind of a shock.
2 pm, and we hurry back, because heard that the road back will be very long, so, we have to bid farewell to the Yellow River. All the way back is full of legendary, previously only seen in the documentary, and now exposure to office, the only tangible experience.
From the Yellow River to State Road in Section 80 kilometers of highway, just in roads, that miserable kind of, ah, an analogy it, read the Paris - Dakar Rally do? Is the kind of traffic, that feeling of displacement, is no exaggeration. On the road muddy, and we were packed in boxes, like the doll, Britain to follow-up to the test of my bones do. The most abhorrent is that there are red flags and cars go the same way we started has been open in front of us, stirring up the sky like a sandstorm Huang Chen may suffer as a result we have, and then we take a look at an opportunity of up super, but also make it taste taste. Then there is section and it is hard to go, and our drivers careful, the car stuck to the pit, and the front tires are stuck to, and we push down, useless, Wong Nai pit as thick as glue. Behind the red flag has stopped, a few people down the road picking a stone pad, their poor quality, greet did not fight, splashes the Sun Wong Nai splashed summer one, but for living in this wild place, unaccompanied, We have long had to attack. So now we only allow a tractor dragged out of our car, (this episode there is photographic evidence).
Gradually darken the sky, we are still in the former shop in the middle of nowhere plateau crawl yesterday, rained, roads very muddy, but also hit roads, very narrow, opposite the car from time to time there is avoidance. Was really a kind of fear, and night, in such a broken place, if there are robbers how to do? Drivers also said that not all black like to take days and finally was rushed to the national highway. I thought to myself, this time in Shanghai, students will have dinner in the comfortable bar watching TV, we have to go thousands of miles away living death, can not help but filled with sad (Oh, you saw do not spit).
At 8 pm and more, we only arrived at a small town, finding a home to six bowl restaurant, those who usually ate less than half of the surface swept away by us. Continued on our way, because they have to a national highway, a good way to go over, and we drowsy and doze off. Cars all the way south to gallop, and finally back to Xi'an in the middle of the night 1:00. From the Hukou out to Xi'an, which lasted 11 hours,
This is my unforgettable experience this life, and now think about it, bought bitterness, quite interesting. Contact us better to build large hostels have closed down, we go over the wall, they got a place to sleep, October 2 adventure travel so over.
