The first time self-service travel, and my heart was quite a loss, because a lot of things are not ready, and indeed many things that need to be prepared. After a week of preparation, I finally put his backpack to the common type that stays in a full, and then intends to go out. We are a collection of the trip to Guangzhou Railway Station, the main destination is Phoenix western Hunan, eastern Guizhou Fanjing, Chen-yuan, and Kaili Miao Village. To the Guangzhou Railway Station, 2 hours ago, I try look back packs, and who knows it even overwhelmed the strap break! I finally knew that this non-professional backpack is not reliable, often at a critical moment for himself by surprise. Fortunately, we are very conducive to the head of donkey spirit of the people heard the news he rushed to help me speed is very outdoors store to buy a professional backpack, and then I arrived at the Guangzhou Railway Station, etc. After finishing my luggage is good, on time and boarded to the purpose of land - Huaihua train.
The train from Guangzhou to reach Huaihua need 14 and a half hours, get off, we have five members of his sprint speed to 100 meters ran across the railway, ride a train bound for Mayang (9 per ticket per person ), if one minute later, catch a train, perhaps, the next shuttle bus to half an hour before there, so we are very lucky, no delays! 40 minutes later, the train arrived in Mayang, we Mayang bus stop with the 100 yuan package of a direct Fenghuang, China and Pakistan.
Along the way, stretching the rain as if to tell the feelings of spring, let these be reluctant to spring for the visitors to the excitement and also a hint of melancholy! Phoenix has added more Border Town Chunyu dim beauty. Through the Hongqiao, the ancient city will emerge. Bluestone lanes into the city, dazzling array of shops, a variety of snacks, warm beauty of the local people there are Tuojiang surprise us all. Linjiang built into a small inn, only to hear a gurgling sound of water, it is Tuojiang song, sing mischievously and gentle. We stayed inn called Da Wind Inn, on the riverside, the room door is a surface river corridors, bridges, vessel, water, other people do in front of us, like pictures in general. The Inn hosts who looked passionate and thoughtful, and the clean elegant small room accommodation only 20 yuan per person per day! Such enjoyment, How can it be taken lightly? At this moment, although light rain outside, but the little visitors who did not fight the mood. Look, Tuojiang upstream small Kifune, are so by others Ching-Lai! River boat tour of the guests a lot of drums, water, sound, cheers, long overshadowed by the rain.
The characteristics of the city always so attract tourists, stay out later, we could not wait to cruise. Sparrow may be small, fully-equipped one in Phoenix, separated the two sides in the Tuo, Hongqiao is the gate, the city's most distinctive building is the riverside Diaojiaolou, native is a genuine, now make and sell their Jiang Tang, lips and teeth Mi Xiang, crisp and delicious. Raindrop keep the roof from the densely packed on a drip down the alley shuttle with a constant stream of visitors, tourism development has brought opportunities here, houses have almost become a tourist commodity for sale or are filled with snack shops and Inn. Unfortunately, both sides of the submerged Tuojiang families who can no longer enjoy the simplicity and tranquility of the past, and only from that rely on a wooden chair in the old house before the ramp of Health furnace to take warm air of an old lady who, it is also faintly visible past the tranquility of , madding crowd. Although they are in noisy Metro, but mind the Old City in the distant. Do not know people here in the end is a favorite of today's Metro, or like the old Old Town? Almost all people in the city under the eaves are large and small hanging red lanterns, set off a light yellow or gray were painted black maple facade, even more nostalgic. In the darkness falls, each of red lanterns glow in front of blurred light, constitutes a fascinating cross-strait Tuojiang night. People, after all, accustomed to the city as early as interest rates, how quiet the night, walking alley most of the tourists in groups of three, and occasionally also issued Didi De Kan chat sound and crisp sound of laughter.
Tuojiang endless stream of flowing water inward, bringing out the pure beauty and wisdom of children. Here is an intersection of the Han and Miao people a place, but also home to the Tujia minority people. Master Shen Cong-wen was in this Tuojiang side's growth. I tried to follow the Shen's handwriting look for Tracy and her grandfather-like figure's shadow, looking for a straightforward and simple pure Cui ferry boat people. But the bridge and pier lie on the river, has replaced the old ferry, and only cruise on the river between, while the owners have become a shrewd businessman. By boat down the river (5 yuan per person), can reach a called "Peach Blossom Island" of the land, that is has become a tourist attraction in rural areas, beautiful scenery, rape Masamori stood. From the "Peach Blossom Island" came back, we visited the cemetery and Shen Congwen Shen Cong-wen's former residence, said Shen, master's ashes scattered in the Tuojiang years on the Phoenix gave me the impression from the hazy and clear, even though I have this place a kind of special attachment, But we still have to rush to their next destination - Fanjingshan.
Fanjingshan right before me can be said to know nothing about, so I am particularly curious about. We left from Phoenix through Allah camp, Tongren City, Indian River County, the evening lived in Fanjingshan feet next to a small Inn Gokokuji. The lower the temperature that day, has also been under the rain. However, I do not know why? I have been there to pray for good weather mountaineering. Sure enough, heaven pays off the next morning at seven increased, there is no rain, to the time when we are ready to go into the mountains, the sun even from the thick cloud cover is suddenly jump out of direct light according to thousands of miles, give us a clear the sky! Clouds float from the cove, formed the layers of clouds, skirted the hill, really good spectacular! Is indeed of good faith actions, God has made the United States! Once again, we are very lucky, multi-excited ah! Thus, we six hurried breakfast, they chartered (fifty million) arrived in Ban Shanting to start climbing.
Fanjingshan for the Wuling mountain peak, elevation 2494 meters, because the mountain is named multi-Vatican Temple, now the mountains have been destroyed injure many temples, but very beautiful natural scenery, is now a National conservation area. If the directions from the Indian River mountain climbing, mountain gentler, but the scenery are beautiful; if the direction from the estuary mountain climbing, walk 8000 steps, the first choice for the warrior. Mountains over the steep cliff, rock formation, unusual; Creek Falls many dense forests, is a paradise for a number of rare animals. Road to maintain comparatively primitive, there is no built ropeway, which is both a challenge to visitors, but also for visitors to enjoy the one. Our arrangement is from the Indian river estuary, we do not turn back. From the Ban Shanting mountaineering, mountains, wrapped in ethereal fog, there are no other tourists, porters only way to follow, six people came to see us pretty good stamina, determination, on the back, and this allows us to under exclusive quiet down. Looking back over the ridge, sea of clouds and fog, like a fairyland. Warm spring temperatures loud noise was also cold, especially in the mountains inside, more of a "Such is Life raw cold I want to sen" feeling, how can one Jiaoren enchanted?
Walking in the mountains, the sun has always accompany us, and we in the clouds above, Hill travels among the 78 hours. Yang is warm spring melt cold, was the breath of mountain air cleansing the soul, and people have a sense of extraordinary Chu Chen, perhaps this is the realm of Heaven and Man bar. I do not know the mountain can have outside the world who can give those of us who seek peace and quiet of the secular human Zhidianmijin it? In fact, my physical strength should be the worst among the six individuals, but, in pursuit of a higher realm, I am patient with fatigue, to the top of the hill also with everyone on board, one of the most steep peak - the old golden dome. Lao Jin top there is a temple called "Yuquan Temple," temple is only one master, Farmington, "Zu Ren," Fan Chen said he has cut off as long as a decade. Perhaps we always destined to meet with the Buddha, the master and lead us to come to a cliff edge, overlooking the cliffs, was surprised to see a ring Buddha! A worthwhile trip ah! At this moment, we are tempted to turn a blind eye even together, a "Buddha" spread the word in their hearts, the Wu-ton Toru!
Hill Road, a long curved road, people in nature are so tiny forever. We have plenty of time ranging look at the scenery, we also drove down the mountain啦. 8000 steps to go down, my head "dish donkey" finally found himself a little bit tired, in 3500 the local hired porters ladder (seat slider 60 yuan per person, if the time to sit slider mountains about 120 yuan, 20 yuan for each pick backpack). We went to the foot of the mountain is about a 20:30.
To the estuary of the "face" we have been linked in the mountains good (100 yuan chartered), on the foot of the wooden shed to wait for the driver to pick, when there are 89 workers gathered in there to sit and watch. Urgent need to hurry because of fatigue and, after just getting out of the car two minutes later, we found that the camera lost two precious wooden huts in that, immediately go back and take the time, the group of migrant workers but deny enforcement cameras in their mouth there. Alarm, and with them we can only theories, Who would have thought the police could not find, the results of reasoning did not last Daoshi us a clever boy did not move noiselessly onto the second floor of the two cameras hanging on the wall! This journey from a small event, has given us a lesson and experience, but also the local tourist attractions and morals big question mark.
Starting from the first Jiangkou Tongren, transfer to the Yu-ping, and then take the train to the Chen-yuan. Chen-yuan is an emerging tourism town, there is no phoenix mature, but it is worth a lot of attractions. For example Black Dragon Cave, Iron River, as well as Wuyang He and other state-level scenic spots. Because of the time we spent in the Chen-yuan, the time is not long, too late to Wuyang He is only a moment Dragon Head in relation to hole along the side walk in a circle, the next day went to the Iron Creek.
Iron Creek is still no official opening of the scenic, steep to walk about three or four hours, which is like paradise, beautiful scenery. If not for the cold spell, if not warm, it can jian shui and on the way, exceptionally swimming. Rivers surround the Castle Peak winding stretches upstream and downstream is "separated Creek Spring 23 flowers, its proximity to 45," while the upper reaches of the mountains lush and green everywhere, little mountain flowers. There are several along the way to "cross the dangerous river", the rustic charm will occur, I actually accidentally slip into the water twice! But also confirms my climbing shoes should be a truly waterproof material, because the water into the can not get out! Deep in the scenic area, there's a mysterious pools called "Longchi," Occupant. That Yihong green lake, with water in Jiuzhaigou Bi Mei, Zhi Jiaoren marvel. What are the reasons I do not know this is the only Tanli of water with the surrounding water different colors. After reading "Longchi" be able to counter back to the original Road.
Iron Creek swim after our next major destination was the eastern part of Guizhou's two Miao Village, from the train to the Kaili Chen-yuan, only two bus one day, we rode the bus 15:20. Kerry is a tourist access to the scenic heart of eastern Guizhou. From Kerry to a half-hour round trip car (fare nine yuan), drive about a half-hour; Carey directly to the car a daily trip to West River (more than 12 o'clock start, take the less convenient); from Lande go to the car on the Xijiang River are more first to the Lei Shan (fare ternary) sub-car to West River (fare eight dollars), the journey for about three hours; from Xijiang Carey returned the car to start every 7:30 from the morning hours trip (fare nine yuan), the journey is about two hours.
Most of the houses on the Walled Landes is the building since the Qing Dynasty, so it is the national cultural heritage of ancient buildings, subject to special protection. Here is a pure residential, non-commercial flavor. Walled Village of Hmong clothing to dress as a feature, where you can enjoy the Village People performing highway wine song, dressed Miao dance, Lusheng dance programs and women carrying bamboo baskets to tourists to mention selling silver and handicrafts. Lunch to eat at home in the Walled China, the Dry bacon, Susu's vegetable soup to add a few eggs in soil is the hostess for our hospitality reflects the emergence of life of poor people. This stockade a smaller scale, we have spent about three hours to travel to the Xijiang Miao Village went to the 1000.
If Lande shangzhai compared to Xiaojiabiyu, then Xijiang Miao Village 1000 is a ladylike of. Xijiang Miao Village is the largest around Carey, about 1,000 households, it said 1000 Miao Village. Building erected Diaojiaolou mostly maple, depending on the mountain and built, which is quite spectacular. Lande atmosphere than here, a bit of commercial facilities are relatively complete, while maintaining the soil characteristics of Miao Village.
Get off, I immediately filled with ethnic arts and crafts shop next to attract in the past. Into a shop, a warm welcome in the ranks Miao mistress. High-disk wear bright silk flower hair side, inserted after the crescent-shaped hand-wooden comb, dark blue embroidered soil Bushan, ruddy face and simple, this is a young Hmong woman left me a deep impression. She asked us what we want to live in her family's Diaojiaolou, said to be very refreshing clean, out of a Momin trust, we will follow her home, a look at what. That there are really very satisfied with us than to live outside of the hotel are much better, the small room, clean and elegant layout of the hard-working hostess shows the virtuous, accommodation is 15 yuan per person, I feel to live than in Phoenix The Inn also comfortable enough alone only in the downstairs toilet and no hot water bath. That evening, we bought a few people own ShangXi chicken, soil eggs, ribs, tomato, intended to personally cook, and self-reliant, but also allow host family a taste of our cuisine. And the hostess promised us free of charge processing, and really good. Evening we have just come across a bonfire organized by Miao people, so even the rice is too late to do so went to the party in! First you've got to drink before entering the venue three highway wine, your show tonight, or after drinking suddenly erratic, and it is full of joy, and this is the Miao people of the guests welcome. Unfortunately, we have hungry party is not over, had earlier returned with the host family dinner Bale. The master of men and women made me feel simply exemplary Miao people, is not only warm and sincere, in the dinner to come up with home-made rice wine, hospitality us, tells us to sing welcome songs, back to tell us about the Miao people of marriage customs, speaking It was also the time when the excitement drink a toast, laughing. This time, I thought of Su Shi's words "thin wine": "thin wine drinking Liang Zhong, rough cloth, a double, the United States although the differences drunk warm with evil. ... ... Up to those now in power over liquor What? Worldly worries of non-music originally empty! "Yes ah, the original Human life is so beautiful and simple! After dinner, we are quiet on their return to the small loft, open only little windows, smell the fresh mountain atmosphere, the United States and the United States to fall asleep by.
The next morning, we will conclude this unforgettable trip. "Journey is better than reading ten books," have seen and heard along the way has given those of us in the city cosseted people with a great harvest, in the experience I have also been tempered. Mountains further away, silhouette vague, but the memories will always be dying in my heart ... ....
