After 17 hours the train and 3 hours the car bumps, I finally set foot on this piece of western Hunan Fenghuang ancient land.
Yesterday, 18:00 departure time from Shenzhen, the sky still light rain. I do not know why choose to flee, as the weather, anyway, and chose a better hit day, and I feel is the most important. The original vision for the train to encounter a beautiful peers, it is regrettable look left and right, not Xuniangbanlao is a husky fellow, only the way silent. Fortunately, I have always been lonely as partners with, and is pretty quiet happy. However, the hard seat 1,400 km journey is a little uncomfortable, but think of 107 ocean way to go so far, it really should be lucky, and poor students in poor and happy. Train "clicks clicks" on the gallop in the dark at heart, although a little Luo Ji, but there are more exciting adventure of the unknown journey. Rejection from a single backpack travels, has been a dream of my swim wave ... ...
11:10 am Trains arrive Huaihua, the weather was good, was a bright sunny, my clothes no useless a large backpack. Out of the station, according to the information before the online search to quickly find Qijuxizhan, she spent another 30 money for nearly three hours to sit for long distance bus finally to Phoenix. Actually, the Phoenix also Huaihua to 90 km, but because all go fluctuated winding mountain road, people sitting in the car shaking like a drunk-like left-right-huang, it is no wonder that to go so long. Fortunately, a highly skilled driver, otherwise it is not necessarily buried in a mountain stream.
In Phoenix the car, let's aunt stopped by a Mohr-McClune. Shengqingnanque, combined with the original ready to stay in the "Tuo others" was full, I followed her to the edge of the Tuojiang "living off Jinjiang Village" (Tuojiang side full of the kind of family hotel). A look at single rooms, a TV, air-conditioned with water heater have an independent bathroom, but quite clean and tidy, inns balcony riverside scenery can also be glimpses of an asking rent 20 yuan / night, I could not even do not have the courage to bargain, Tatema promised to stay there.
Consolidation is completed, the next floor, too, the aunt has come up with oranges, sweet potatoes, let me try for free. Do not eat white do not eat, a few rounds down, according to the Shenzhen market prices, I have earned the money under 45 can not help but feel pleased but not in mind - best to eat back rent. The family happens to have a son, the small I am one year old, licensed tour guides, travel off-season to recuperate at home because of better days. Are young people, some talk of everything down, we got to know each, and I also received a lot of information, Deben and mengdong he decided to cancel the trip. Oh, this feels a lot like playing RPG games. He told me that yesterday morning, Phoenix snow. It's strange, now, but that did not see signs of it under the snow off. Later, he also promised to take me Tomorrow I swim Phoenix. Hey, they make a. Just today is the Lantern Festival, I called home to tell my family I am now one in Hunan, frightened mother yelling, even the hearts of another burst of Qiexi. By the way, here are the living room table, surrounded by a thin blanket, arrayed below a coal stove, everyone Circuit reached into his hands and feet on the table next to the desk heating, desktop pattern is a big chess board - edge Kaohuo while playing chess, enjoying themselves? However, I also understand that once news of the winter because the heating gas poisoning occurred in how the story.
Enough rest, I decided to go out along the riverside walk, the way food. Walking through the ancient stone road, keep your fingers pressed the camera shutter, and mouth unknowingly puts on a song. In this way, and the lines and songs, I found the legendary "Ambassador Hotel." Pacing in, asked for a rake of blood a duck (25 million) - The recent outbreak of avian flu, eat this thing, but to have the courage death calmly, plus a bean curd residue (4 million), a fried cabbage (3 per ), a cup of rice wine (1 million), a bowl of rice (1 million). Yuemo An hour later, fond, the sky is completely dark down. I do not remember the way back, they aimlessly street level in the ancient city of the region. Perhaps because this evening is the Spring Lantern Festival's sake, dark alley in groups from time to time there are children going to wear to flee, leaving behind a series of "giggle" and laughter echoed in the ancient alleys. Later went to a batik shop front, see only the owner, a person Kaohuo, shop layout quite in chic, so went to go and chat up the owner. Inadvertently raise your head, the original creation of well-known writer-clop room shop on the opposite side. Finally, I sat in the shop owner let me get up after photos of the two-phase left.
At last returned to the Tuojiang side pocket along the riverside walk soon be returned to the hotel had. I have step by step, slowly walked towards the direction of the inn, the multicolored fireworks bloom in my head, murmur of the river flowing from my feet, crackling sound of firecrackers be mixed with the distant barking loud ... ... At that moment, I if returned to the child lives in rural areas, it is revive a sense of ah, a spiritual fate of the home.
Back to the inn, Chong finished cold wash clothes, but also out of new urban wandering around a lot of money, bought a five string of beef was too hot not work had to hurry to buy a bottle of mineral water. Then I thought on the street is too lonely, and found a cafe and got, on the net look down on the back of today's trip.

10:00 am sleep, just wake up sleepy eyes still hazy when I heard someone knocking at the door. I opened the door wearing pajamas look, is actually a PPMM at the door. Intuition told me that she is the aunt mentioned yesterday, a free tour guide Miss Miao Flying Swallow (because "also pig princess" reasons, even the "Flying Swallow" in the name special aversion). At that time, see my Aunt FIT, asked me whether or not to find a nice free tour guides, even only "Oh," a cry, and did not expect so soon come to her door, efficiency Daoshi quite fast. Decided to go take a closer look today, Miao Village.
Half an hour later I went downstairs to see accompanied by the Shenzhen came with Big Brother and Wen Chang Miss a pair. Went to each person ate a bowl of urban rice noodles for breakfast, the four individuals get on the surface of the Miao Village, speaking good price chartered 45. Unexpectedly, the car has not run out as long, in a small village where the encounter traffic jams. Blocked about half an hour, we see nothing that the delay in the opening decided to cancel scheduled trips to other attractions to play. Because the surface blocking the middle of stuck in the queues, so we have abandoned the vehicle and returned on foot to retrace their steps. The results of that side of the driver, is a housewife, simply wanted to cut our 35 negligible release. Mercy on us totally unfamiliar, in order to avoid to have more trouble, had to either slaughter, and with such a person to talk about contract law, estimated to be no use of the bar.
Then backtrack on foot. I told the guide faster than walking, and gradually, we are left in the front of the pair which are lagging behind. Fortunately, when the guides are generally more outgoing personality, and very talkative, I have no way of Pa Jimo. I originally earners in rural areas, "speak" is also my professional Moreover, a pro-world farmers Well, two people from different places quickly chatted up. Chat is the most fun things a child to go to school a variety啦, as well as some of the customs of their native customs. Road not yet completed, and the two of us together have been addict to get acquaintance. Back when the city is already 2:30 pm, and unknowingly we left after one and a half hours of road, 10 km. The four decided to go to the Ambassador Hotel, the five internal organs Ji Ji Temple. Seated, sat down, picked up the menus a point of a sour fish soup, meat stir-fries, fried cabbage, boletus ? ?. Soon food table were four Elang looted clean sweep. After dinner, which said the pair wanted to go shopping, Flying Swallow, invited me to join to the Peach Blossom Island, kite-flying, saying that to go along with the soldiers that she had just come back a friend.
The so-called Peach Blossom Island is actually a small piece of the river downstream Tuojiang oasis what is said well-known TV series, where photographed location. Old Bridge ride from the Tuojiang Ha Mei human ship about 20 minutes to go. Disembarkation time say a good price is the original three 15, the boatman to see me only one 20 of the Ling Chao, actually "offer", said it would give 20, I'm # ￥% ￥ ...% -* . Later, Flying Swallow, or give money to siege. Kite was her friend took over, and one to the Peach Blossom Island, she wanted to wait to lift kite release. Unfortunately, bad weather, no wind throughout the afternoon, even break a while a while there is also a blow, the wind often changes, so the weather not fit for flying kites. Flying Swallow spirits are high enough, Tuo Lexie ran sub-inviting kite, kites, since the "fly" up, but the premise is that you do not stop there. I was a kid, but a master kite-flying, can not help but hand-itch together, even if not played for nearly a decade, I think technology is still a little bit of it, then immediately join the fray. I ran in front of her, when the kites fly up, to help her pull the back line, the use of pull-line techniques to extend the kite stayed in the air as far as possible the time. Flying Swallow later told me that this is the first time she let kite "flying" for so long. Oh, even kite-flying for the first time to accompany the girls have done this a cause for celebration. Taking advantage of kite-flying, she is a gap, I and her friend up the sea-Kan. Even at this time of 18 days of military training and long-term bubble military version of the role of BBS is manifested. River side of the two men sat smoking while Shen Kan, quite contentedly. Oh, right, and later even urgency, so passing in the riverside shelter, "sang a song" (some people have on the trumpet, Hunan called "singing"), right when Liugejinian bar. Oh, this is a child often do, fun.
Six o'clock, Tian Sean down, three men decided to walk back to Old Street (Peach Blossom Island is a small wooden bridge connection of broken river banks). Back to the Street, a shop in the Hongqiao below the point of the Tuojiang shrimp, fried mountain bamboo shoots, La Yu, and fans meatball soup a few sample dishes, a checkout, 40 of money - of course, I call on the passenger. Tomorrow morning I decided to go to December Fall Hill go to the market, so an appointment tomorrow afternoon with the Flying Swallow to the Miao Village to play after they broke up.
Back to the Inn, but still found that night without water, and depressed. Must register at least today, to go three or four hours of road, out of a sweat bath to come back yet to get really uncomfortable.
