8:30 am, our party of four, Yvonne, Shi Mei, fat boy and I, have arrived in Baiyun Airport. Look at the table, should be exactly what co-workers playing time cards for the right moment! Willful really enjoy this holiday, just like feeling like the year just learned how to skip class.
Travel agents have to be focused on the 9 o'clock, so we pay close attention to the airport to the second floor of the restaurant meal Cantonese breakfast. The next six days is necessary and the company of Sichuan, and prawn siu mai dumplings, and only gather once again in the back.
10:30 flight took off on time. The plane ran into a group of travel agencies in Guangdong livid photographers, all photographic tour exclusively vest, a professional killer looks like, see me straight envious. In addition to Jiuzhaigou Huanglong their itinerary, there Siguniangshan, miyaluo and Munigou, full 12 days. Oh, forget it, I would like to be able to get 12 days holiday, went to Tibet is already gone! Had wanted to on the road and the gang Kagetomo Qiecuo about video technology To her surprise, all of them on a take-off foes in sleep, hard to sleep like, saying it was necessary that night camping in the midst of an estimated did not sleep well, so recharge your batteries in advance.
It was so boring that we of that aircraft flying 757 hours after the quasi-two arrived in Chengdu Shuangliu Airport. Surface temperature and Guangzhou close to the original ready jacket did not come in handy. The weather is fairly good, there is sunshine, but Chengdu is always a little gray in the sky as if the air quality may be worse than in Guangzhou.
Out of the airport, and we then hold "X many tourism" a small red flag to accompany tour guide connected to the head, and then the whole group of 20 will be squeezed into a herd phenomenon to pick our new "Guangzhou" brand diesel station wagon. Yangcheng brand is, in fact, Toyota COASTER. The so-called national assembly, there is a joke reads only installed two screws only (the front of signs that the two are also)! See our itinerary have vehicles accompanied by good car, and everyone will be excited to start blowing the hides, but not so proud of our fresh waves off from the guide has given us take the lead pouring a pot of cold water. We apply Staff Committee, said that throughout their stay to ensure a good standard double room, but the tour guide said that now is the peak tourist season, double rooms are sure they do not live on, and calling such residence is not even a problem. We have a heated debate about doubled on the day of travel since it is this line of rice to eat, how can you find such a reason to kill us? ! When we indignation cried finished, only to find that our little girl a Liushenwuzhu guide what to do look, it seems her business for the near future, there is no cultivation into a slick martial arts (such as a good thing as far as I later inquired of the believers, and indeed Young enough that even 20 years old). We quarrel not seeing results, also had a truce.
There is no way, this time is man-made Daozu, I fish, and can only wait and see.
To the X and the hotel where he stayed is known as a joint venture of two stars, but the lobby is not large compared with the number of my family's living room, dark and of a "temple to seek people" look like. Guangzhou produced old-fashioned elevator "Guang Day", each floor had stopped a foot like a stamp. Double room inside the facilities were outdated, and even one-star level are not enough, but fortunately there is a 24-hour hot water supply to shore bathing worry carry on!
Sumptuous meal eaten 10 dishes and a soup luncheon (including hors d'four small dishes dish even if the four dishes), our trip to Chengdu will be the official opening, the first stop is Temple of Marquis.
Temple of Marquis said, but the plaque on the door it is plainly written in the "Han Lady Gan Temple", the main building is a commemoration of Emperor Liu Bei of Shu Han palace, Temple of Marquis fact, it is the reduction of a small courtyard in the Miaohou only . However, Zhuge Liang in a high position of the eyes of the people of Ba and Shu, left lane becomes the right lane on the 1st of the actor, the brother of Liu Xuan De daimyo to squeeze no more. Whole Cinei on a few palaces and the tomb of Liu Bei - Huiling, they might also just Yi Guanzhong only. According to tour guide said that this tomb has not been stolen, it is estimated have no valuable things inside. Temple, there are still a sizable sketch of fame, "the prime minister Zhuge Shu Temple of Marquis Hall monument," the article claimed, gas law and the Ruin of engraving techniques, but the Caishuxueqian the next, it seems that looked a little apart from that there are observable physical Liu , the other two did not always understand.
Swim Wuhou Temple, we have toward the next stop Du Fu Thatched Cottage. Lao du head hat Tingduo, Yue shaoling there's, there's reads and Industry, reads some of the great poet, and made people get confused by his masterpiece is more known as the history of poetry, but I would appreciate not only the educational Ting You know, is a good material class struggle; Gengjian of Du Xiong Li Bai did not like Shicaiaowu offended leadership, not as frequent as the Po Chu-hook bar, style is not correct, in general, or to learn good example. Way back when a dozen An-together, they went here, Jie Lu lao du door, spent almost four years, with an average weekly rate of production of works of poetry, including an "autumn winds have ruined thatched cottage song" impressed me the most , Naishi worship back then in secondary school class the teacher did not come out curse roundly bestowed meal. Today, the so-called Cottage who are already beyond recognition and filled with concrete buildings, pavilions are great beauty of cultivation, another tree-lined, so I thought back to the park in Guangzhou. Later discovered that there is a teahouse, packed in a bamboo chair on the inside gossip of the patrons leisurely, it is envy, but strange, nor is it today, holidays, Are Chengdu people do not have to beat time cards or Down?
Casual stroll of the tour, and later is the red West Ramp, also not in the mood photography, tour guides have been waving flags greeted everyone Zuoju Hui hotel to eat supper. Most of the group are all those 10 dishes, soup, are not interested in taking to the streets one after another automatically abstain from eating another food stall. The four of us went to eat Xiaojiahe Chongqing hotpot. Where the streets are hot pot restaurants, smell far away on the drilling your mind, approached then see the roll of each pot is marked, could not help but appetites, swept the two hours, eat moving do not want to move, but also get rid of two bottles of Big Blue Ribbon (beer), before the money spent 150. In the time we eat, there's a woman shuttling back and forth between the various stores, but also walking and mutter prayers I do not know what to say. We inquired to the waiter, the original is selling something called "egg cake bake" snacks. So come to a person only a few dollars, the woman took money have no idea where to go now so, after a more than 10 minutes before they take over, hot, is sandwiched a pancake or a salty or sweet filling, taste is not bad.
After fond not going anywhere, and just hit a taxi back to the hotel to sleep a bath.
Tomorrow should be sitting one day on the road the car does!
98 September 30 Weather: sunny morning, 6:30 the room the phone rang to inform you of guides to get up for breakfast. Rush to pick up a good deal on the second floor restaurant has a steamed bread, 1 egg, plus a bowl of milk (but not drinking I think it is coming out with condensed milk), the 7:30 start time.
After the car out in Chengdu, the air began to get clean up. A big half an hour to go on is the city of Dujiangyan. Here is a small city (estimated to be about the size and Guangzhou's Panyu), is famous because of water conservancy projects, we are ready to return only to visit, so do not be staying. After leaving Dujiangyan, on the boundary into the Aba Prefecture. From the beginning Aba, Minjiang appeared in the road beside the cliff, until it lost in the Songpan Ying Zong.
The river Minjiang River is not wide, but the river Qinglie, when an urgent relief from time to time see the river roll up small waves, its beauty is definitely not comparable to the Pearl River's muddy filthy. Only when the car shortly after leaving the Dujiangyan where there is a river due to river quarrying, leading to accumulation of river gravel slide and narrow, it is learned there is the danger of drying up, it is too unpleasant. Hydrological knowledge, I know nothing about, but seeing both sides of Castle Peak was devastated due to quarrying bombed the mountain vegetation coverage also very low, thinking no wonder to landslides and mudslides in.
Had heard before the highway from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou is very dangerous, I do not know when the degree of risk, but not necessarily safe where to go! Whole roads are open in the Linjiang hill, Youzhai You bend over, each will be car drivers, like in the game on both sides of courage, who deceleration is not a hero who will have a result, every time call gave the two cars pass by. At first, we will be scared into a cold sweat, Yvonne is the technology for drivers worried that I had to comfort the driver here, she said technology should be reliable, those driving skills, but a long throw into the ditch off of natural selection out. Later, after finally we were so scared at the Lvjing temper insensitive, panic, and so our driver led us this way, give full play to the "Guangzhou" brand new car advantage, all the way North Korea Jiuzhaigou Mile.
We arrived around 11:30 Maoxian, preceded by a county named after Wenchuan. Wen Qiang Mao both are inhabited by land, but most of them are pedestrian street dressed as Han Chinese, even when wearing clothes Qiang, from the looks point of view also, and in general there is not much different from Sichuan, it is estimated here is rather high degree of localization . Qiang style is lacking, would inevitably mean that we are a bit disappointed. But the reputation of apples produced here is not small, can be used for compensation. Prices are also very cheap, only a few cents a pound. There is a very glowing red varieties such as the United States Delicious, but according to tour guide said it was just to sell a good friend, it does not look yellow nothing to boast about the kind of delicious. We bought her a taste of the recommendation, and indeed they cool and flavorful! Maoxian hotel we ate lunch, then took to the streets purchasing supplies. Bought a bunch of mineral water, Wangwang Snow Cake, there are several Eagle Coin dace Canned lobster sauce, and then the road again.
After a Maoxian, Minjiang scenery along the coast of Korea increasingly fluttering up. The river sparkling in the sun, Jiang surface from time to time a seat suspension bridge, the primitive land planes on the two sides, but very characteristic. There are residents on the roadside are rare, occasionally one, are a few connected with the rocks piled elaborately, front of the house behind the house are all grown intensively with the trees the fruit, very attractive. I really wish one day alone, riding a four-wheel drive off-road Jeep, no traces Tianya here arbitrarily quick photo Liang phase, preferably also met a beautiful and passionate Qiang girl, a bit of suspension bridges like a dream left behind good thing? My dreams have not done, Yvonne has been knocked my head I have just asked what is silly in Zeixiao, which can not tell her! ) When the Minjiang River and eventually disappear when the roadside, Songpan to! Drivers, the car stopped at a small petrol filling, put off by the way so that everyone spreading rumors. A group of Tibetans gathered around vendors selling two packages of money a yak meat, like a slap in the face of each packet so big, not too expensive, we feel that novel, she bought a few packs of taste is actually unexpected and delicious, so he bought a dozen packages, the hawkers music bad. Only later did I found that the package had not played is valid, but printed Songpan yak meat processing plant production, do not know whether public health, and the packaging bag is not to open a small hole in, and we had some of the group pulled a half-day did not tear, thanks to We took a Swiss Army knife, any rate finally came in handy.
To the Songpan after the vehicle is a Tibetan style of. When passing through town, he saw where the residents are all wearing the kind of show off the robes, cheeks of Gaoyuanhong very eye-catching. Here the houses are using bright-colored and decorated with bright colors, there are many wooden houses, and erect a very strong solid look, like a very nice ride blocks. Along public roads outside the county seat, is full of large tracts of grassland, grazing the top of many black yak. I was the first time to see the yak, I am excited, but the car dealers too fast, the camera's lens is not long enough and did not shoot down. I do not know why the Tibetan areas of blue sky is always special, here is no exception, more beautiful than in Maoxian, when, and not a trace of clouds, the distant mountains hung with multicolored streamer in the wind in the warm breeze, the immediate Let me fascinated by scenery to come to Tibet for themselves, if able to stay a day longer follow the off how good!
After a Songpan, Jiuzhaigou on from far away. But going into the ditch that part of Highway is currently under maintenance, the car is over, then stirring up the dust heinous. Happens to our car enough horsepower to run mountain, the air conditioner to shut, and had to close the window forward in time, focusing instead on boring the brain, more than 20 minutes before leaving that part of the road we still found that everyone in a gray.
To Mizoguchi about 17:30 this evening we stayed in wooden huts hotels, is a row of very beautiful wooden villa, is said to be imported from Russia back. Guest House on enough away from the 200 meters into the ditch at a place, location is very good, next to a small stream. Unfortunately, the villa of the double bed have all been changed to a Triple. The four of us squeezed into a decision to forget to allocate a house to the peer sharing of a pair of newlyweds. The room is very clean, 8 pm to 10 pm there is hot water supply, everyone here is very satisfied with, she does not care about the travel agents that they are not board the.
Dinner in the hotel restaurant to eat, surprisingly abundant than expected. After dinner everyone was going to go for a walk Mizoguchi. There driving a lot of selling specialty and tourist souvenir shops, shopkeepers are all Tibetans, it is warm, do not mind if we look at the East West and Han did not look to buy, but also take the initiative to teach us a few words in Tibetan to say "hello" and "Goodbye." We inquired where the owner has used to sell fruit, and he told us to wait for tomorrow, and finish also turned out from behind the counter insisted to give us a few apples, saying that their own species, let us try. We have been made very moved, finally bought a pile of stones bleeding wear bracelets, a yak-skin purse, as well as two Jiuzhaigou's album, are all ready to return to Guangzhou, to give as gifts. After I got out fat boy asked me, this is called the simple and sincere, or is called public relations skills were such that I said it should be the former bar! Man's nature is good, I am still willing to believe it. Mizoguchi small road at night the air very fresh, but the sky, they make a cloud, a star do not see, so we all can not help but worry for tomorrow's weather together.
98 October 1 Weather: overcast with light rain this morning, 6:30 to get up, I feel a bit cold, and quickly added a thick coat. Fat boy leaned out the window after the announcement was raining outside, though small, dark and thick clouds conspicuously, it seems the sun is the Moxi, and everyone's expectations and excitement the last few days inevitably compromised.
Hastily eaten breakfast, but also eggs and steamed bread, but today even the condensed milk have all been destroyed, replaced with a cup of acid, each tooth of the juice, I tasted no one dare to drink, for fear Yuehe Yue hungry!
Mizoguchi has not arrived yet, we saw a long line of cars of various sizes, Meng spray gas. Ticket pre-packed, and we almost got separated a group of 20, after a recount Department, quickly jumped straight into the ditch coach Ben, be considered aside surging crowds.
Jiuzhaigou because there are nine Tibetan villages in the trench named to Chui sea, Diepu, pot, Silver Peak, and the Tibetan style five never known, its main attractions concentrated in the tree is the Japanese then, and then the check showed low-lying 3 the distribution of Y-shaped groove. Ditch After many years of tourism development, has already paved two-lane concrete road that runs through these sites. Now travel agents are the car carrying the tourists, every one according to a few minutes off spots on the photos, and then run. This cursory style ducks mission not only to tourists miss the tourist attractions along the route between the fluttering Korea scenery, but also led to the crowd every attractions such as the crucian carp, want to make a fool according to this one travel, but also worried about drying out After not tell which is the main character.
We first tour the tree is groove. Along the way by Hokyo rock (Meisha spectacle of a rock only), reed sea, live flowers to the tree is the sea base in Wolong sea. Locals to lake known as the "Haizi", lake, or blue or green, reflected upside the shore of the yellow leaves (for a few days earlier, leaves are rare), it is tempting. However, due to darkness, but also mixed with rain, the lake due to lack of direct sunlight, not, as imagined in the gorgeous glamorous. Runs all day they are all weather, most are sorry!
Group waterfall tree is coming, perhaps because rained, water sufficient shelf tripod shooting, with F 11 aperture, Kodak 100-degree reversal film, exposure in the 6-8 seconds between the estimated diffuse enough to photograph in hookah. However, I am afraid that making lakes are less reliable, I hope that do not shoot yelling stagnant water!
In the tree is still a considerable mill fame, when there is a movie "since ancient times, heroes of Youth" (and I quite like to watch a child's) is the location shooting here. Choose the right approach so I went just pressing the shutter, I do not know where to emerge from a Tibetan, I received a dollar to the camera fees, no way, and quickly pays for give-and-run.
After the prestigious Connaught Day Long Falls, entered the Japanese were ditch. Snow Day Long width of 100 meters, quite imposing. People have not yet approached has felt splash, my Canon 500N will not have water facilities, and dare not stay for long, a few close-range shot hastily retreated to the road on the opposite side of a wooden attic panorama shot, but the man upstairs is really too much coming and going of the wooden floor trampled mountains ring, but also made me tripod swinging straight.
Spots are concentrated on the ditch, it mirrors the sea, Pearl Beach, Wu Huahai, Xiongmao Hai, Jian Zhuhai and so on, has completed some names to remember. According to tour guide said that the sea water with the mirror face can make lovers to get married and so on, could hear the tour in light of a Lao Dajie 2, was very active in a trial. It seems back in Guangzhou have to contact her for follow-up survey to see if the legend of this lake is Emmanuel.
Pearl Beach is a large variety of waterfalls flow of the river a focal point, with the tree is, and Snow Day Long is another beauty in comparison, but the tour guide had not been able to explain everything really clearly the source of the name of Pearl Beach. We are down a wooden plank road around the circle, walking beat, almost consumed a roll of film. Several other attractions are a bit ordinary, Wu Huahai should have both the large and the United States, but the lack of light below, also appears to mediocrity. In addition there is no panda Xiong Maohai (back when, when Zhao Ziyang visited Jiuzhaigou met before), Jian Zhuhai is not bamboo, around a circle to come back I am afraid are unlikely to recognize the. Dao Shi in Japan at the end of the ditch is a virgin forest, there are Tibetans holding the horse is intended for visitors to the forest walk through the enrollment, but we are the rain on foot forward. The edge of the forest is very messy, is not an attractive look inside, but the more we go about it the more see the beauty of towering trees, roadside moss almost Banchi thick, like a carpet shop in a long-staple, so that We can not help but like the mentally handicapped in the above bounce like chaos. Owing to time constraints, we did not bounce as long, can only be returned back, unable to continue exploration of the forest.
Our last trip was a tour Zechawagou. 3 ditch to a minimum and scattered attractions here. We are into the groove until 16:00, but the weather has begun to dim them. We are a pioneer in car went straight to the end of a long sea trench. Twilight in the long sea-filled with mist, and the shore of the peaks in order to completely disappearing, and only then sign a long sea - one-armed old pine still standing proudly in the lake. Cold rain, I casually took a hurried away after two. Passing back to the season of the unfathomable sea, everyone do not want to get off, and quickly to take advantage of Wucaiche arrive before dark, but has not filmed too dark pictures, and the whole tour is only to imagine the face of this tranquil lake in the lake under the sun colorful.
After the swim three ditch, and finally ran into major problems. Tour guide told us that the original set Connaught Nichiro guest houses, houses by other travel agencies, "pry" the (can it be anything else), and now have no houses,! ! So we hurriedly rushed away from the entrance to the nearest Walled lotus leaf, where a good relationship with the tour guide said, thinking of ways. Lotus leaves filled with coaches zhaiqian stopped, but also milling around the head, the driver and the tour guides get off to a big half an hour before coming back and excitedly said, again whatever the outcome, someone else's house to pry, and we finally do not have to sleep wilderness. To solve the housing problem, and then we went to eat. Lotus Leaf Village, there are restaurants, more than 100 square meters, inside packed to overflowing with dining table, the whole hall full of tourists, every table full after they stand waiting to succeed him. Hall, dimly lit, voice noisy, that scene did not know, as a large dining hall, unlike the people's communes. And so on for more than an hour later, and finally opened our turn to eat. Everyone must go to the restaurant where a large bamboo basket Sheng Fan, of course, have to boldly, or would have to wait in the next basket. Guests were a few slices of fatty meat and radish, we have purchased canned Maoxian grand debut at last, and was warmly welcomed. We all regret Songpan of yak meat to buy less, and failed to adhere to this critical moment.
After dinner, when the allocation of housing, a bit confusing. The four of us crowded together once again, successfully captured a Triple with a toilet. The other is about 10 tour members not so good luck, be assigned to approximately one kilometer away from us as far away as Tibet residential areas, where only a bed, even the tap water at all. Those who need to go to the toilet, holding flashlight walk away from the sight of the post-settlement without regret!
Finally we all settled down, tour guides said there was yuqing programs, is the Tibetan style of Kaoquan Yang bonfire party is also! Da-Yuan 120 per person. Everyone is bored to death (the other side still did not have possession of residential electricity), plus who is no eat dinner, so have to chip in, all the bait (such as ordinary citizens as far as I inquired after, 50 can be traded, we were hungry and mad, even the bargain can not remember).
Evening in a spacious tent held would be able to hold nearly 200 people, we go to the time, has almost a full house. Tent of the Central burning a pile of bonfire above have a few sheep rack iron rack roasted with enthusiasm. We are waiting for Lao Bantian, parties begin. First, a few Tibetan men and four young woman dancing to music, dancing under the section of the Tibetan singing and dancing are indeed a nation, everyone jumped up and keep telling the same as seen on TV people dazzled, especially in that the only a male dancer, while dancing while chaos ogle, discharge of patients, not under me and so on. Jumped by about ten minutes will come to an end, out of a hostess, actually called "Lydia, the central cases", with a very standard Mandarin as the leaders talked, like a pass, delivered a welcoming speech, and then teach the Tibetan language, such as say a few simple Abba grandmother's name for the class, I humbly believe have no chance to even learn to use, so do not listen carefully, his eyes only Dinglao flip the lamb from time to time on the shelf.
Next is the highlight of Lydia, was chosen from the visitors were a man and two women to play the Tibetan Zhaizhu, Zhaizhu wife and their daughter, and then picked an unfortunate young posing as a small door to marry him, so that Zhaizhu come up with a lot of problems to test son, noisy test a never-ending. We are already seeing that lamb skin coke Meat, could not help but fierce reminder Lydia, asked to open to eat, but Lydia said that according to Tibetan customs, and must wait for the success of the entire Walled courtship dance together to celebrate the time before they can eat. We agreed that that son-IQ unreliable, this courtship 1:45 still not finished, so widely sympathize simply put the bird belongs to us lamb wiped the salt water of the divide and Kang Hui residence and found the taste was actually surprisingly good, especially the lamb chops some great acclaim. Until we finished this Dayton delicious supper, back Look at the wedding seemed to have not finish at a look.
