The 51, spent 12 days, 13 nights of time, from the southeast corner of China's most - Xiamen Island, went to China's northwest inland - Dunhuang travel more than 10,000 kilometers and rewarding.
Decided to go to Dunhuang is no easy thing, was originally thought would never want to go. By the end of April, are now 51 where to go and anxious time, Lanzhou friend called to tell me the last play, saying it was to graduate, and the last time. In fact, even before the thought, but since the summer to do a bike ride Shihai Yunnan-Tibet line, from the Qinghai-Tibet Railway Tibet, but also to go over there, so went to the train seemed to be too extravagant fees. But suddenly heard since the opening up of tourism impact in Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes cave paintings to prepare sealed matter, together with the Dunhuang from my summer vacation to go through there 40 hours around the Xi'an train journey, even after Xi'an, Dunhuang was not easy to go to . We took this impulse to the train station Mailejupiao to never troubles.
29, from Xiamen to Xi'an riding on a hard seat and began the arduous 12-day and happy journey
30 days, or in the hard seat to spend, but fortunately, met two friends in Xiamen also likes to travel, play cards the way chat, and is pretty nice, but unfortunately they get off at night in Zhengzhou, and left me alone, lonely on a hard seat to hang on until the next morning.
1, the morning to Xi'an, Xi'an, opened his eyes to see the walls, there is momentum!
Station on a section of the wall. Out of the station, but could not find how good this is coming to take my friend (level off), mobile phones also can not get through (and later learned that he had intended to boil all night next morning, I did not expect to sleep at midnight, and actually The place is also in the cell phone did not signal.)
Looking for half an hour, then being a few days ago, made a few text messages to go on a trip arranged to meet a friend Affi SMS bombing decided not to waste time, immediately take the bus to the hotel she lives at, the door that you have Well, then go to the bathroom quickly took a bath, bath, come out and say a few words even recognize it. She said she was a shy person usually will not more people do not know what to say so, and be able to chat with me so quickly, there are also be able to walk down with the reasons why!
Not to delay time, and we ate out a Rouga Mo (Xian Rou Gamo legend far from delicious, I imagine, perhaps the store's distasteful, right? A big dice medicine taste.)
And then to the train station by car to the terracotta warriors and horses.
Terracotta Army - a legendary place, finally to the course have a good look, really great, really amazing, but far from the imagination and television pictures of the spectacular and breathtaking. However, I came back and found photographs of the terracotta warriors and horses equally spectacular, it seems it can be misleading pictures. As for the contents of terracotta warriors and horses can not say more to introduce the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of information more than enough.
Come out after 5 yuan to buy a set of small terracotta figures, afi buy local specialties Fu Yung-yu Lam Tin. In the next few days the piece of jade has always been color, from lavender to dark blue. I do not know bought a priceless begin? Anyway, asked a lot of people, including the expansion locals, no one had heard of hibiscus jade will change.
Then went to the spots - numerous imperial baths, the most famous is the fear of Concubine Yang is also a bath in the side. But no matter how good things can not withstand the years eroded the former imperial baths unearthed in the same after so unprepossessing features gray soil of the earth, leaving only the legend of those baths is how to do at the end of block of Moyu, how beautifully relief ... ...
Back to the beginning of Xi'an city is the Chinese Lantern released, the city center next to the Drum Tower Bell Tower and its nature is not failing to see, but the ulterior motives, fell to the Drum Tower Street next to the snack.
Muslims in a street snack is also a street into a look, a bustling peak and visitors crowd, was ablaze with lights everywhere, the smoke rising and moving in with kebabs.
To the business of one of the most fire, he finally got to wait until a three-seat, sit down and come to regret later - this business is so good to eat something at this really is not easy to wait.
Here, do not eat a la carte, what good will naturally meat Yakitori platter came, someone, if you want to say your voice a handful of dishes to throw your plate, every time we spoke, have been a little on the line However, each time a plate is still being put into dozens of strings. Beef, mutton, beef tendon are all a bunch of two gross, cheap affordable, and taste are also cool, too afraid to eat.
Also baked is also good, that is a little expensive 15 a side, although the price in Xiamen, we do not feel that expensive, but in Xi'an, we still feel a bit expensive.
Rinse tripe is also very good.
Bought a 23 o'clock train to Lanzhou and more, to the friends bar close look at things ready to go, did not expect to hear in a bar of some of my love songs, touched a deep nerve, are some of the prodigal son make a trip generated resonance of the songs, trade-offs coupled with peer friends do not live under the persuasion decided to let the 46 yuan ticket green car hell! (In fact, that 46 of the original is still quite distressed, and so many days have been insisting on the train ride the cheapest the cheapest seats, is to save money. But happy that night so I do not regret, and sometimes can be a waste of people happy )
Non-stop singing one song after another song, sing too much more to remember what song to sing a song, just remember that Xu Wei's "hometown," Cheng both of "Cinderella", hackberry's "Birch" ... ...
Sing a lot, drank a lot and I sing every song motives, intentions of the singing, although not a long time to sing, and while a lot of songs Wangci, although they have forgotten the guitar spectrum can not be Zitanzichang the ... ... but I am still very heart sing, sing or very good.
Also missed the trip to the train ... ...
Bar closing of the ... ...
We are still drinking, and just guitarist - love the people, became friends, and drank with him, along with chat, he said I have strong feelings about singing, especially singing with him that "naked"
We talked life, talk to pursue, talk to give up, and talk affection ... ...
He is a very good musicians, has been for his vision - the pursuit of the music, though poor, but happy. He told me he did a song recording to only give him 1,000 yuan, pirated too much and he has done is not mainstream, vulgar fast-food pop.
6:00 am, Oi also went to bed ... ...
He prepared a bed for us, but we see that there is a group of eight schedule of the train, so rickety open bar shutter doors, in the rain, playing in to the train station ... ...
2,晕晕went off to go to the railway station, bought a platform ticket Chang entered the station, to the waiting room to sit down and have a sleep, but fortunately, no delay and the fast on the train before the wake, and on the train Fortunately, found a seat, once again to sleep.
Longer be wake-up, originally checked, pulled out last night and handed him the ticket, and soon be detected, said that a replacement ticket, and it is useless to a good heart are still pretending to tell me: at the station as long as the two complement tickets for the price difference, on the train has to pay full price, and most severely on my ticket is still fighting hole, or else I can think of a way back then. He counted ruthless!
Since yesterday, bought 46 of the Green Paper on the car while sitting today is the 97 air-conditioned car, so again out of 97 money, and was distressed over and then think about last night's pleasure, but also the value of! ! Just always feel that the train conductor was too hard a bargain! ! !
Shuishui wake up one after another of the ideas with people across the chat, a look out the window, actually see a lot of white stuff, at first thought it was the land salinization, look again, determine the snow! ! !
Snow in May! ! ! ! !
Look inside the car outside temperature display board, from 6 degrees to 5 degrees and then to 4 degrees, and then 3 degrees to 2 degrees actually have been too busy to think snow will wonder why in May, and think only took 3 short-sleeved, two thin pants, as well as a Jackets for the next train on how cold and anxious about.
4:00 left, down the train, but fortunately, not too cold wearing Jackets.
Friends to the station to meet me, and play to his quarters, wash face, brush your teeth, change socks, Xi Wazi, due to catch a train at 8 pm, he also wanted me to take a look at the Yellow River in Lanzhou, the most distinctive and Yellow No. 1 bridge, but also to eat beef noodles of Lanzhou, so everything is so rush.
Then we went to the Yellow River with the first bridge, sky, light rain, yellow river in mobile for the first time saw the mother river Unfortunately, nothing much feeling. I do not know my first experience of the Yellow River, or more smaller.
10 together with the money to eat Ramen noodles in Lanzhou (which proved, this is quite well known for 10 yuan a bowl of noodles of Lanzhou, Lanzhou on the streets than 2.20 yuan a bowl of delicious), I accompanied A non-package is broken, Fortunately, over the way I saw a Pathfinder (in Lanzhou really do not know where any of the packages can be sold) in the last-minute knock in what Pathfinder has already closed the door, hastily bought a 55L of the package, hastily rushed to the train station. Riding on the Green Paper to the Jiayuguan hard seat cars.
3, hard-seat car in the Green Paper calls on the call to sleep after waking in the night, we are 9:00 am to Jiayuguan.
Out of the station, the sky is clear, although there is the slightest cold air, the taste, but the vast blue sky and the open air, the smell still makes me relaxed and happy.
Jiayuguan is an emerging city, fifties or sixties began to build, like all emerging cities, clean, tidy, which is very rare in the western manner.
In the evening go to the station asking to Dunhuang moment when the car, I've met Cao - one in Qinghai teaching young people. You will be chartered with three Jiayuguan.
First to go is a turn Wei-Jin Mural Tomb, the tomb of the ground 12 meters deep, not the tomb of three chambers, the main value is inside the brick on the tomb murals, frescoes in fact have little artistic value, mainly record of the year production and living scenes. Although a bit mean, but 40 yuan worth of tickets, or people feel.
Followed by the Great Wall first pier, in fact, is now a small mound, but look at the next followed by the high cliff, or be able to imagine the momentum at the end of the year the Great Wall, from the remnants of the Great Wall remains a gap at the first once walked off, the vast desert, it seems to also understand that some businessmen from their homes out of the year off when the mood.
And then the cantilever the Great Wall, Great Wall has been the rehabilitation period is no longer a section of the Gobi in the walls, and the mountains of the cantilever was built some very imposing, although not in the vicinity of the Great Wall in north China majestic, but in the vast Gobi Desert in the small hill, back Oyama, the former bird's-eye view the vast Gobi Desert, but also some of the unique magnificent feeling.
The last stop, that is, in my mind the coveted vast desert on the "best in the world with big" - Jiayuguan. To the attractions, is also very beginning is a bit misled, we are behind from the Jiayuguan to enter only a start to see some distance outside the dilapidated walls, but how can not, and in my mind right on the numbers to Jiayuguan, can not help but suspect that since in the end is my memory of a problem or a problem off the city, but fortunately did not take long majestic Guan City, will be imprinted in their eyes, 12-meter-high walls, the majestic pavilion, "best in the world with big," the plaque in the sun appear to be so magnificent backdrop of the extraordinary. In the big city and walk off, looking at the city's ancient stage, imagine then keep soldiers chased off in the vast desert in the city of life; looking for clearance Wendie's pavilion, imagine the year is always flooded here, between the busy businessmen and merchants out of customs when the attachment to the customs of the excitement ... ...
Jiayuguan is the outside of customs to see the best place to enjoy the majestic Unfortunately, for many years to make the surface of sand has been increased by five to six meters, 12 meters-high wall has been majestic greatly reduced, although the descendants again closed the year near the town unearthed the surface, but still not what the.
"Grape Wine Magic Cup, want to drink immediately pipa reminders, Zuiwo battlefield Jun Mo laugh, a few people back to the ancient expedition." Jiayuguan, Jiuquan area of specialty - Magic Cup is to buy two as a souvenir.
Leave the Jiayuguan, Dunhuang has not keep up with the bus, and repeated threshold price was decided more per person than done bus 15 yuan to fight.
Facts have proved that no white-out of 15 yuan. How can it be the way of the desert scenery on the bus be able to enjoy it? The way of the vast desert, the vast Gobi, desert, broad, and more momentum than the sea. When the world leaves when the blue and yellow, the same is a simple beauty. Vested with the same desert highway straight straight, and a friend went so far as to say that driving all the way from Jiayuguan to Dunhuang do not have to switch steering wheels.
On the road, but also see the Qilian Shan mountain range covered with snow, a long one, all the way send us to Dunhuang.
"Smoke in the desert straight river down the yen." Have been looking forward to see the desert sunset, this wish was finally realized the time 8:30. Desert sunset or a less domineering, all off in the end the surprise is less obtrusive. In our meal off holding the camera shot, the sun did not shoot any good film, but added the moon behind me out of a few good films.
Ten o'clock went to Dunhuang, find shelter, eating meals for three days the third time, stayed to sleep is two more. In addition to the hard seat on the five days since the first time to sleep sleep in the bed, feeling the cool extra. Unfortunately, only sleep 4 hours
4, linked to an online appointment with a friend to play with the Dunhuang Surprisingly, miraculously with the 11 chartered Coudao, it does make our province a lot of money.
First, go to the Jade Gate.
"The Yellow River is far on the clouds, the one isolate them Maninsan. Qiangdi why complain willow, spring is not degree yumenguan."
Then an isolate them now only a fence in a lonely huge mound, from the faintly visible outline of the imagination a year off the city and access off the flow. Only "non-degree spring" environment remains the same.
And west of the Jade Gate is Jadin Mogui Cheng, Jadin in the local language to mean that the rugged mound, which is the most straightforward interpretation of Yardang Landform.
Into the Jadin geological parks, Yardang Landform strange then started to show the eyes. While there is no legend in the "square, palace, street, statue brought to life ... ..." Then an exaggeration, but still very majestic and mysterious, but also that which the Sphinx, there really have to get that peacock sculpture gods, life-like to describe.
The Jadin geological park, the rise of the blue stared, without a cloud, the rain no less than a few years the vast sky. Foot of gravel on the desert, surrounded by the landscape Yadanqite mind Dangqi the countless indescribable feeling chipper.
Today's final leg is Yang Guan, "Weicheng moist dust, Zhao Yu, guest houses green Green is the Willow. To persuade more to make a glass of wine-jun, the West out of Yang Guan undue person." Yang Guan and Jade Gate two checkpoints as the Western Regions, Yang off because of this poem, which seems even more famous Unfortunately, the current state of Yang Guan far and Yumenguan - even if a mound is gone, leaving only a term we can imagine the vast Gobi Desert.
The driver in the morning, afternoon, say, may be able to see a mirage, so we are half-hearted and watched outside the window. Finally, way back turned out great Gobi does not live up to our hopes, so that we can see a mirage.
"See, Mirage!" Spoke the driver stopped the car. We follow the direction that he only looked in the distance, the horizon a floating green and yellow ribbons, the driver said it was a small village in the projection distance, looked thin, we can see is actually two ribbons Natiao layer, the lower the upper mirror - the same scene is just the reverse. In this ribbon and the horizon there is a white line between the separation.
Although this mirage not we imagine that big, so spectacular, but far from the long one, but the upper and lower layer of the mirror-type mirage we do not yet have heard, was also considered opening the eyes of the.
Because it is very near Dunhuang in Xinjiang, Xinjiang, and more so at night to eat the lamb flavored string. Must register four days really is a daily meal.
5, went to Dunhuang, the main aim is of course the Mogao Grottoes.
Mogao Caves also known as Thousand Buddha Caves, 25 km away from Dunhuang county, located east of the cliff on the Mingsha built in Former Qin Jianyuan two years (AD 366), about 1600 years ago. In the 1,600-meter-long cliff on the overlay, Chlamys time scales ratio, from top to bottom to form a spectacular group of caves, there are from 16 States, the Northern Wei, Western Wei, Northern thoughtful Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, Song, Yuan , Western Xia dynasty, etc. 10 492 caves, 45,000 square meters of murals for more than 2,000 painted sculptures for more than respect, is the existing world's greatest treasure trove of Buddhist art. Mogao Grottoes murals, in addition to the content of Buddhism, but also a large number of labor and production was reflected in the scene, such as fishing and hunting, farming, create, transport, a millstone, Tsuishine, ceramic; also has production vehicles, such as travel, farm tools, spinning wheel, loom, etc.; there are pavilions, fortress palaces, pagodas shops, bridges, Chinese Room and other ancient buildings, reflecting the lives of all strata of society, as well as the local history of Dunhuang, the nation's history and Buddhist historical sites, the study of ancient Chinese political , economic, military, and cultural image of the information provided valuable. In the vast murals, the largest and most successful image to the number of "Flying" from the walls to the Ku Ding, described as "a shrine of Buddha are no wall is not flying." If the murals lined up, I can stretch 40 kilometers, is the world's longest, largest and most comprehensive one gallery.
These are the Mogao Grottoes of the introduction into the Mogao Grottoes, indeed exquisite murals, in addition to a study of production and living conditions of the year's value, artistic value, I think it is even more rare, although we have been looking forward to flying did not give us a lot of satisfaction, depriving our fellow MM "in July," opening their eyes, or missed something in one of the largest flying like a. However, let me elaborate mural amazed. Perhaps because of the Dunhuang frescoes is too famous, many people ignore the Mogao Grottoes in the painted sculpture statues. One of the "Oriental America first hand" "the world's third largest Buddha" There are numerous exquisite painted sculptures are amazing, do not ignore because of the famous murals them! Speaking of painted sculpture there is still an interesting point: the guides often say one sentence: "Look these are filled by people later in the Qing Dynasty up plastic statue of the ugly more than the Tang Dynasty, and the proportion of the human body is not right!" Gaode everyone Later, one saw the statue does not look good say, "This is the Qing Dynasty, right?" but most of the guides can be affirmed. Perhaps you have heard of no more than how many caves where the murals are multi-layered, and their descendants had no place to painted murals on their predecessors on the viscosity of a layer of soil to re-painting, up to two five-story .
Another point to Note: The Mogao Caves also known as Thousand Buddha Caves, because in general around the Mogao caves where Buddhist statues are painted with countless small, so they are called Thousand Buddha Caves, which is no introduction to the many places.
As for the sell treasures Wangdao Shi, Yu "Cultural Journey," put on an opening, he almost yelled, and I do not want to say, the only way now to go all the way at the Mogao Caves also heard someone curse Wang Daoshi.
The afternoon desert wonders ─ ─ Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Moon Spring and the driver did not expect yesterday's chartered so kind, actually make the argument for free to carry us into the Mingsha, but also to take us into the fare-beating. Let's really a bit flattered that his name is similar to our surprise - Yang Hu Cheng. (He is so well-intentioned, and I helped him a bit of advertising for the benefit of everyone. Phone number 13,830,745,774)
Auto open to a place called Crescent Moon village, stopped in front of the sand is the boundless mountains, a next one, boundless the end, plus two Gufen the front, we can not help thinking that the cost of fare evasion does not would be too large? Not want to understand that the driver had been walking in front of sand began to climb mountains, and no time to think, we also closely follow-up. Climbing sand hills, and further back half a step, one step at a deep footprints. Fortunately, they do not yet worn out when the first one in the climb up Sand Mountain Peak, we saw the Crescent Moon - Public Sand Bay, a crescent-shaped mountain springs, lining on the side of the pavilion, the one with the surrounding yellow Sand Hills showing a sharp contrast. Is indeed very pretty.
Mingsha said because of people fall down from the peak, the human body with sand flow, issued by a rumbling sound, hence the name Mingsha Mountain. We try to fall from the top, but it does not matter how slippery up, hands and feet difficulty finally sliding down the body with sand flow has finally issued a little rumbling voice. The driver said we would not slip.
Useful side panels designated sand sand-boarding, and five dollars, his back, casually slip how many times will do. Really began to climb sand hills, the back plate only casually know why the boss can say how many times, climbed from below the top, I do not know stop and rest have been a few times, reach the peak elevation of a look at the table, just 100 meters vertical drop, climb sand hills, 100 meters be Zhengou choke. Rest a bit, the staff gave me the sand-boarding plate coated with oil, tell me how to slip after I did not think about it sliding down to go beyond my imagination to stimulate the acceleration fast, so I used it to play a variety of limits sports people are a bit small cooler. But most exciting is the board began to go visit the one on the right side go, watched as directed at the other side of the flag passed, but fortunately I have ever driven a variety of vehicles, usually arrogant balance did not give me a shame, finally put Ping positive, safe in the end. Then slide down to look at the Broken Arrow Siyangbacha comrades fell and my heart is still a bit small pride.
Climbing the second time Laohou and July have given up, only me and Broken Arrow is also hard crawl. And then slip, then partial, but this time put right so much easier, but the heart is stimulated much less.
The third climb sand hills, felt relaxed and then some, may be tired and used to it, no way how to stop, said the Broken Arrow will no longer crawled half the time I climbed up any connection, and note the temptation to actually sand-boarding Tingda. The slippery excellent, straight go a lot faster.
Sand Mountain climbing is really tired, and be able to climb three times a few people are already not going to climb, did not think had to give up in July are now put forward step by step with sand-boarding board walk to the Peak to think I wanted so much and then slip, in turn picked up the board with this rash move. Stop in to see the back of Broken Arrow did not keep chasing it on a little proud. Approaching the idea of Peak Shiyou a bold highlight in their hearts, why not draw two people together to seek a faster speed, greater incentives? ? Quickly stopped in July, to the top of the hill with her instructions. Staff members say this more exciting, but more easy to flap. July hesitated a moment, agreed.
Began to fall, With a wealth of experience and I am fairly good with the July, we have achieved the fastest speed, glide the longest distance, safe.
In the end, and think we only had two on-board to go back only to use a piece of board and tried again. July said the climb is not moved, in order to stimulate, I'm one of the most heavily Pharaoh.
Such as Pharaoh difficult peak to climb, I made a more bold decision - I sit in front of. So that I will be very difficult to control the slide, but just in July to tell me to sit in front of an exception to stimulate the flap also makes me hesitate to give it a try. The staff with a smile said to me, In fact, such a greater damage to their board, but it was still on the board in July, he encouraged the two sliding into the bargain. Also did not say the other has given us the end plate touch of oil. Dunhuang people is still very simple.
Together with the Pharaoh fell, they began to turn right side, and the partial interests, although I tried to adjust eventually played a role, but when the right side is quite breathtaking. Finally because the right side, with the weight of the Pharaoh than in July, but still not great, and in July of that slippery far. Think of the time, but enough to stimulate the right side, and also complained of what?
Slide five, has been all said to Superman, and think of physical strength is also depleted, and will not slip by.
The way back camel, camel walking tall but so far moderate, I always look forward to it suddenly bolted up.
Originally wanted to go to Qinghai Lake, the results did not buy a bus ticket to delhi, several other comrades decided to go chartered to go, because of economic problems, I decided to not go, who told my students? After a chance! Away at them, and have a good rest, tomorrow there is a 24 hour drive it to Lanzhou.
6 Sunshine Yesterday's taxi driver said to wait for cheaper cars and other vehicles where to go, the original fear of not enough time, a money to buy two cakes for breakfast, then take a look at a little bit early, casual eating a bowl of ramen from cake. Their cars, and car seats, were broken more than I imagine, prices are also low - 80 yuan, sit for 24 hours, think of from Xiamen to Guangzhou 10 hours or so the worst it will take 100 cars, a little peace of mind.
Taking advantage of the empty truck on the car quickly to sleep. Was cried out, has come to Jiayuguan, and then met my most hated thing - is sold to other bus. Look at a car or a sleeper, would also have some happy, did not expect the car only know that we are scheduled to squeeze in the final pass a row of covered, but also packed beyond imagination, so little space squeeze 20 people, saying that we bought is sitting votes, to make up 50 per person to sit in front of a sleeper. Worst is actually also still kept in front of overloading, drivers magic has changed out of more than 10 beds. Unexpectedly in a checkpoint when it comes to call off a lot of people walking past. I am determined no less than! !
So I squeezed in severe overcrowding, and dilapidated, they distribute a variety of taste in the cars of countless stayed for nearly 20 hours. Fortunately in the interior, only the foot odor, odor and bad breath, and if so if it was in the coastal put a basket of fish on board the bus, then the consequences could be disastrous.
Hungry, and thought of the morning money to buy a cake, out on the hotel in Dunhuang fight extremely hard to drink the water swallow can be regarded as completed the task of today's meal.
Board met for the first time a rush to work in Lanzhou peers, 600 wage quite at ease, I feel the gap between the northwest coast of ideas and very great.
But think about this day, though tired, and although the smell, although not lying do not sit on boil for 24 hours, but the fare + Ramen + pie spent a total of 83.50 yuan, driven so many roads, or a little bit cool. Sometimes saving money can also be people happy.
7, 8:00 am finally escaped the nightmare that the train compartments.
Lanzhou, the city did not expect that little surprise on this road there are so many bus station. Depriving to pick my friend wrong.
Back to his dormitory, rest a moment, she decided to take a look at an early age on children's encyclopedia to see his mother like the Yellow River. The first went to the Yellow River Bridge, along the Yellow River style line walking around, I also see her photos at the time of the Yellow River Journey to the West in a small island, in fact, a mound of the bulge. TV more deceptive.
Even earlier, to the Yellow River like a mother, I heard that the original is that in the late era of deep-fried by the local underworld, and this is then carved with a block of brown stone of the Yellow River. It seems thin indeed, and not the same as in my mind, but also heard that the color has not changed though, but I have the impression, as indeed in the Yellow River, the mother is white. I imagine Yao is too good?
Affi called again over the afternoon, saying it was being driven over from Qinghai Lake, is now chartered come from Xining, in order to catch the evening Lanzhou Airport. As I helped him with something. I went to the railway station waiting for him, did not think he was also known as I pack a car to the Yellow River Bridge. My third trip to the Yellow River Bridge, first, give him something, he rush to the airport. He was reportedly rushed to the Qinghai Lake last night, nothing to see, this morning saw one in a hurry back in time, but also significant expenditures chartered, poor child. Nevertheless, I believe after some time the coachman, he will remember this experience down time he would have thought that was quite interesting. After all, is an experience. Sometimes a waste of money is also a pleasure.
Bid farewell to him, the Yellow River is also the arrival of the first bridge, the sunset, and sunset side resumed peace without dazzling the.
Dormitories at night are buddies and friends, children eat meat drink (draft beer plus dishes, giant Shuang) afi called again over, or missed the plane, so for the airport bus to come back together to eat meat drink. They drank too much.
8, in time 6:00 am to send afi the airport bus, powerless to catch up, but also play, but fortunately, caught up with the aircraft.
Go back to a bath, in turn in friends houses a bad experience with him half of the graduates graduated from decadence.
That can no longer be a decadent afternoon, but the train at night, much deliberation that it appears that only Lanzhou University, Lanzhou is also worth a visit, they went to. Unfortunately, as a student at the University of Xiamen, except to the Wuhan University, other universities to see how the soil is not啦grumble all the. In addition to Atlanta's Library is also seen go on.
Went to the supermarket and found that there are as many along the southeast coast has ever seen in his hometown of Kunming produced potato chips, and was allegedly filled with the northwest and northeast markets. For the first time know that potato chips in addition to Kunming, Kunming is also sold in other places, but also selling well. Of course, bought a bag. Kunming expensive than a dime.
Also bought a specialty dry Lanzhou lily.
Night, met two backpackers at the railway station to the Qinghai climbing. They were prepared to fill sleeper on the train, I decided to go rub a sleeper. In fact, my motivation for special simple, just want to be able to sit in the sleeper compartment, because the Green Paper of the hard-seat compartment is too crowded cars dirty too uncomfortable. I never thought there are many shops empty, then ran to a capped slept.
9, in order to prevent them from being found, 5 o'clock they were awakened by alarm clocks jumped out of bed to go hard-seat carriages, until 7:00 and get off quickly came back with the luggage.
As the No. 1 drink delayed for a long time, famous Big Wild Goose Pagoda Small Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an, no go, at 3 pm train, as well as half a day, enough to calculate the time it went.
First went to Big Wild Goose Pagoda, in truth, been to so many places, quite a few towers we prove that, although the Big Wild Goose Pagoda are very representative, but there is no superhuman powers, also did. Looked at, leave.
Then came the Xi'an Museum of History, for Xi'an in such a historical city, and this museum was so famous for, and failing to see is not acceptable. Inside a lot of artifacts, very classic, but I am promising that the several pieces of artifacts, out of a computer in the museum to see, 18 national treasures are also within the scope of my favorite, it seems I still have a certain appreciation of, and Hehe.
The majority of the exhibits are the museum before the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Ming and Qing Dynasties are less. States had not, after all.
Finally, Small Wild Goose Pagoda, originally thought that, like Big Wild Goose Pagoda, as can be seen on the outside, did not expect have to buy a ticket to see, but fortunately, students can discount 5.
Did not intend to denta, but then ask yourself not entered any tower within the structure of the tower was very curious, they can not disregard denta student discount tickets 10 yuan posted its towers.
