After dinner, we take 4-way car to the city center. Datong in the Northern and Southern Dynasties was once the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it left a lot of attractions, we intend to go take a look at the upper and lower Huayan Monastery. Downtown is very lively, but by no means busy. Beijing used to look at to see Datong, two words: dirty, chaotic. Kebabs are everywhere in downtown. The risk of coal smoke, Montreal, chopsticks, what is hard to appetite.
We have carefully while looking for while browsing, what is said in this year Huayan Monastery was built between the Northern Wei Dynasty, there are already more than 1500 years of history, and is really simple. Walked, we entered a small temple, where incense really is quite prosperous, many people are to burning incense求佛's. So even a small temple is also Main Hall and the depositary of Buddhist texts, is really "the sparrow may be small, fully-equipped." Very strong smell of incense smoke inside, which is also a lot of incense, where to open a fragrant plants, some to make money.
Out of the temple to continue to look for Huayan Monastery, mountain heavy water covered the suspect a blind alley and vista. The right side of the road in a very spacious on the inside, and we found this state-level key cultural relics protection unit - on the Huayan Monastery.
Why is it called the Huayan Monastery? That of course, is because there is a next Huayan Monastery of the! Only now, with two very different places. On Huayan Monastery is open to public, if you are a Buddhist, you are free to the inside to worship the Buddha; but its visitors may from time to mercy, 10 yuan in order to go ah!
Here I have heard far less good, there is also the size of a school playground. Can not be called what it is magnificent. But here, there are Aspect - those who come to pray people. From the entrance to the Main Hall to the 40 multiple-stage, these people who come to pray from the first section began, has been kneeling, each posted a step, you knock three heads, and then Gordon, then knock ... ... until it has completed Duan step up. Really pious ah!
Main Hall A total of five statues, each a north-south thing. Members are very familiar with the Western Buddha, several other statue called something I do not remember, are interested in Buddhism, we look up the book, necessarily understand.
Do not know whether deliberate or designed out what's wrong, Huayan Monastery always give people a very uncomfortable feeling, it seems that the ratio of length and width correspond to very, very long, but more spectacular, it would be a feature of it, right?
Huayan Monastery to the above is all my impression.
Out of the Temple, along the road to which the said earlier that left tens of meters forward, and we came to the Datong City Museum, also known as Huayan Monastery of the next. Yes, the next Huayan Monastery no longer used for Buddhist worship, and to become a witness to the history of Datong. Bought a student ticket, I entered a piece of an unknown land.
From ancient times to now, this museum documents the development and changes in Datong, the entire process, and a sense of historical vicissitudes of life to make Datong more mysterious, more a kind of ancient beauty. The museum is very quiet, I think the general public will find common ground here, but for those of us for the first time tourists who come here, here so that we have a deeper understanding of Datong, Datong also beginning to have a a special feeling.
Out of the museum, looked at my watch has been divided 3:30 pm. We decided to find hotels and booked on, and then discuss the matter tomorrow to Hengshan things.
Datong center of the street well in mind: Big East, Big West Street, Tai Nan Street, Great North Street. We looked for a street in the Great Northern hotel. Two sisters already at work, and, after all, more money, booked a standard double room; and I can only eat dirt and signed a plausible inter-double average (25 yuan / night). Fortunately, it is low season for tourism, this room also I lived, and the 24-hour hot water, as well as cable TV, I've been very satisfied!
Booked the room, we intend to separately actions, two sisters decided to buy back the Beijing train station ticket and I am worried that one day can not be traveled Hengshan, we do not intend to buy a ticket, but volunteered to inquire about the route to the Hengshan.
I am really a failure, boredom, Datong District, in the transfer of more than three hours, it did not find anything about the long-distance trucks and Hengshan what he gave the message, but also, and two sisters lost contact. Looked at my watch was nearly 7:00, and I in the street in a restaurant eating bowl of noodles, they returned to the residence.
As the day's hard work, my foot has come out of the small blisters, really tired ah! Looked at the Datong television programs, a bit concerned about the Iraq war (the day of just war), as well as weather forecast - the television shows will be Yu Xuetian days! This mountain does not seem any good news. But since come, I only had to face the facts, too busy to think much. Think of tomorrow, there are daunting tasks posted Hengshan, I Shanghao 6:00 the morning alarm clock, wash finished, 8 o'clock I was already gone to sleep ... ...
Ears sounded the alarm sounds crisp, I got up. After washing I went back the room desk, in the inn to find an IC phone booth, give Sister yesterday accompanied by two cell phones. They only just up, it is now 6:30, we agreed to meet at 7:30 at the hotel entrance. Idle all right, I went next to a small restaurant to eat breakfast. Shanxi, and Beijing is no different breakfast: fried fritters, soy milk, are also pasta. As time is very rich, I would not need to worry, and slowly enjoy this in Kingston earlier, the idea is to try prend taste.
7:40 only two people out of Hengshan from the Datong district 80 km away, to take a car needs at least a half an hour, starting today, that there are some nights. But this is just the beginning, the three of us went to the 2 car coach station, do not have to go hunyuan Hengshan or long-distance car. Take a look at the table has been 10:00, and this should be when to get to the ah? ! Out travel time is the most important thing, I really feel worried! Hit a taxi, we came to another long-distance station, looking for a long time to find a car to the Hengshan. We also refused to take other, got on. Take a look at the table, has a 10:20.
Car go fast, mainly due to poor road conditions: first dirt road is extremely bumpy; followed by a winding mountain after another. In the car turning a corner, I always feel that cars should fall hill. It's that suspense, coupled with the edgy, more than an hour later, 11:45, I feel in front of mountains and just not the same, seems to have a kind of arrogance, a rebellious feeling. Yes, we went to the "Xuan Kongsi shengjing", we saw the "Beiyue Hengshan"!
I was just in the CCTV's "Willful" in Xuan Kongsi seen today, it's in my eyes, it seems than I had imagined, "hanging" more! It was originally called "Xuan Kong Temple", is the Taoist's "mysterious" and the Buddhist "emptiness" together named. I do not know why the changed the name, it should be said that it regarded as superfluous for the! At this point have been more than 12 points, and we the local people's suggestion, decided to first go to Golden Hengshan, Zaiqu Xuan Kongsi.
They sit for 5 minutes the car, passing through tunnels and Hengshan Hengshan reservoir, we came to the gate. Bought a ticket, car trip along the Road again for 10 minutes, we came to the Hengshan Scenic Area. Unconsciously in the morning, clear skies no longer, the weather was a bit gloomy. Walk up along the mountain road, first written on two rocks at the side characters - Tsunemune. I would like to Hengshan Mountain is so named because of the bar.
Almost all of the mountain, there will be a welcoming pine, Hengshan of course, no exception. And welcoming pine tree together a shadow along the mountain road up board, I have a lot of psychological state.
Mountains and trees are inseparable, beautiful mountains Well! As we are in the early spring in the mountains apart from pine, other trees are still a black sheep, so I saw another mountain: a blend of mountains and snow and ice. Looking around us, snow-covered mountains, but also adds a bit ambitious and jie ao. This is probably not available in the summer of Hengshan "quality."
Legend of the Eight Immortals, one of the Hengshan Zhang was once the old fruit cultivation of the land, so in the mountains also left a lot of Chang Kuo-old traces of cultivation - the old Ridge fruit, fruit and old-feng, old and tired trace fruit, fruit and old pull carts Wheels India ... ... Mother Nature is really talented creator, and people will be named is also true, natural and human well together the!
Read Jin Yong's novels will know that nuns were sent Hengshan, also naturally think that there will be a lot of Hengshan nuns. Actually he is not the case, Hengshan Mountain of Taoism, and the nuns, and had nothing to do. In the mountains you often see a few Road in view of the close their eyes meditatively, and their collision that they dress me who live in the downtown a bit envious!
I am in the Hengshan also found a "five mountains really shaped map" of the stone. Read, the seat of China's Five Sacred Mountains, as well as some of the basic situation of five mountains. Perhaps there will be other Siyue on a stone so to have the opportunity I have to go to all them!
Hengshan still stood four stone, they are recorded in the Ming and Qing dynasties for the rehabilitation of Hengshan gentry who have contributed to the name. Immortalized in this way, these gentry were also does not count in a vernacular.
As the winter snow ice mountain, mountain climbing is very dangerous, so Hengshan to mountainous. Has just lifted, can still have a lot of snow-covered mountain road, which I boarded the summit has also brought many difficulties. When I saw the signs of "peak" of the word, I know that from the five mountains in the Hengshan highest peak is not far off! Big bang, I walk along a much more difficult than just mountain to climb (really can be said to climb). The temperature is below zero several times, but I went so far out of a sweat, it does not feel cold. When I saw the peak of the piece of stone, when I finally conquered the Beiyue, "Overview of hills small", I found the original climbing is so fun. Holding the camera from the peak of a photograph of the four-phase, we face the "Beiyue Hengshan peak" piece of stone mad by flash, I have a permanent commemoration of this moment!
Neck suddenly felt a cold: snow! "Snow midstream Hengshan" Yes I have not thought of, but now has become a reality. Waited behind two other girls, they have not been up, I would find themselves down against them.
As the saying goes: "hard down the mountain easily." I really feel this time is up. From the top to find two partners, I threw two big somersault, the whole bag full of clothing and wrapped a layer of clay. The two partners to see me like this, have just laughed. Off watches, washed with mineral water to wash hands a rest for a while, time is not earlier, we have another one along the mountain down the mountain.
The three of us talking about the Datong Two-Day Tour, talking about their own eyes the image of the mountain without even realizing it has come down the mountain. I was ready to take a look at a few points, and still have time to go to a trip Xuan Kongsi This find themselves lost in the mountains of the table! Need to go up the mountain for half an hour, I have tired Buxing Liao, well, do not look for it, "on the left when the mark was published Hengshan Bar", I know a little bit of voter support, consoles herself.
The more snow the next larger, and is now 4:30 in the afternoon. We are concerned that missing the last train back to Datong (5:00 pm) hastily photographed in the next few Xuankong Si phase, went to look for long-distance hunyuan county car. Luckily, this time we do not charge anything for it has found the car. Got on, I am somewhat tired, unknowingly slept again. And then woke up, car has come to common ground and the snow is still coming.
Me and my two girls in sub-forward out of the car - they are planning to go to Internet cafes, of course I find a bathing place, own a mud washing down. And two locals playing with a taxi (fare is out of the two men), I returned to the station, removed from the storage bag kept a 2-day, walking along the street, to roadside restaurants to eat End of rice, I finally found a bathing center, brisk for a bath. Huanliaoyifu, I was walking towards the railway station, ready to go home tonight. This is not the peak tourist, train a good buy, I have successfully bought the K706, 23:44 of the votes, looked at the railway station clock, 20:30. I decided to go to Internet cafes in Datong net moment.
Datong Internet cafe management very well, 2 Yuan / hour, as fast and much better than in Beijing! Met a lot of classmates on the Internet, everyone let me bring back some of Shanxi native. Consider also, out of a trip should also be a little something back. Two hours on the net, I packed up everything, to the shop near the train station to buy some hunyuan bean jelly and Shanxi mature vinegar. Ti Zhaoda shopping spree, I went into the Datong station waiting room, waiting for the train back to Beijing.
Time really flies, 23:44 immediately arrived. With the first train experience, I immediately found his seat, settled luggage, and he is really tired, and accompanied by slowly starting the train, I did not wish to look at the scenery (in fact, only a black window), Shen Chen to sleep ... ...
6:00, I woke up, days are bright. The scenery from the window, I see that has come to Fengtai - Beijing's southern gate. Next to the building more and more familiar: Ring, Ring Road, Xuanwu District, Guang An Men ... ... Beijing West Station railway station, the train terminus. To mention the package, I walked out of the station, boarded a 47 Bus. Conductor can also hear the very characteristics of Beijing's voice, but also heard Jing Qiang Jing-yun, I know that has returned to a familiar place. Everything has returned to normal ... ...
2 days, had a dream in general ... ...
2 days, not long nor short ... ...
2 days, it is memorable ... ...
