Do not want to so decadent, so we decided to travel. In order to avoid the crowd, we target a place in the absence of human habitation, to see the desert! 4 boys hit it off and started four plunder of geographic information. Xi'an is the latest in the desert away from the Mu Us Desert, located north of Yulin. We see this trip as "decadent trip", because our destination was the most evil little of the natural environment, to see what would be desolate; and our objective is to see nature's forces have been destroyed things. The second aim was to study the geographical situation of northern Shaanxi.
Leaves
April 30 afternoon, we have divided our operations, all ready to pack. Including dry food, a lot of water, flashlight, emergency medicine, Swiss Army knife, camera, spare clothing and so on. The evening, we all Internet traffic, vehicles, tickets, road, etc. generally touched the end of the month, and then begin our travel plans.
We plan to first stop was in Yulin City, from the direction of Yulin starting to enter the desert of Inner Mongolia. Then police Yulin City, and return to Yenan. Hukou Falls bound from the Yan'an after the last train back after the visit Yan'an.
The morning of May 1 ticket to the coach station, originally we decided to start the early morning of May 2; 15:20 the same day that a trip to Canada by car. So that we can spend the night in the car. Can solve our problems for one night stay and for us to win the day time. The four discussed for a while, unanimously decided to start one day earlier. Stay away, at noon to eat a meal in the United States and the United States of stewed semi-huei elbow, indecent good all the luggage. Suddenly the sky overcast, surprise, it began to rain coming! 2:00 o'clock when the rain under the more bigger. Go or not go?
"Desert where they would not rain, right?" I do not know who muttered one. That's right, to make it not rain the desert is also great is that we lucky?
"Really go?" Hostel a few guys bent on mischief, asked, "What if there is sitting in waiting, we will help you take good care of your precious computer, and peace of mind go ... ..."
FT!
Go! ~
00:00 journey four people live in a compartment of the last row, due to a temporary increase car, condition is poor, very bumpy; and the air is very dirty.
Driving out of the bustling city, out of the window are the loess Yuan and wheat; a typical style of Shaanxi. End laps just dig the earth, the dark days.
Middle of the night was cold burst of wind woke up and added a piece of clothing, then to sleep. Out of the window, or heavy rain. Leaning against the window,
Could not see anything far away is a pitch-black. The slightest difficulty inexplicable sense of loneliness rises from the heart. Occasionally, the distance you can see teeny How many pieces are scattered on the lights, it must be a family. A look at watch, just after midnight. They are doing? Perhaps the bar is still busy to make a living. Heart at the moment the lights suddenly by this little bit of warmth a lot. Just as Bing Xin's Xiaoju lights, the lights are a little weak are often able to disperse the endless darkness. The rain outside the window is also not reduced, the temperature continuing to fall. For this trip we are doing the most difficult tasks. Although the hearts of the slightest concern at this time, but has no room for retreat.
5 Yue 2 Ri 4:30 AM Yulin drowsily actually fell asleep; I do not know what the time has come to Yulin bus stop. Played a shiver, in northern Shaanxi is a big temperature difference between 4 o'clock is the time when the lowest temperatures, but fortunately the rain had stopped, but the ground is still wet. Away from the dawn's early streets, only a few lights so dim lights. Bus station in the wall of a corner, it is simple and a collapse of the holes, installed two gates, and
Is inside the station. Not even a waiting room; front door was open, had to stop at the door out of the car. Study for a long time before facing the maps of the Old and clear. Originally there looking to find part-time room can wait until dawn, the station all the hotels have locked the door. After all, only a small city into a ghost town at night, the silence like a seat. Can not wait for dawn do you? Teeth have begun trembled, and it was proposed that a turn around the city of Yulin, sports look or at least not too cold.
Yulin is a very, very small city. It is the same as in Xi'an, still retains a relatively complete ancient city wall. The west wall had obviously been repaired, there is no signs of weathering. Other parts of the walls have become so turbulent, due to years of weathering have been short a lot,
And even a bit like earth-Yuan. There are several walls collapsed, from a fracture at go in the street is; from the fracture of view, the wall thickness of about 5 meters, soil, and an outer layer of brick. Then the width of the sidewalk through a few small alley, went to the city center. As if the entire city, like a ghost town, no one shops, not at all the lights. Yulin City's downtown location only a north-south direction of a street only, was only a total of more than 200 meters. Street, walk south from the center, and soon discover how this place sounds familiar? If you look closely, this is not back to the bus station do? Original Yulin City actually so small. A watch, 5:20; there is an hour away from the dawn of time. We decided to backtrack to see which lane yard has a small shop selling breakfast. 5:30 or so and finally see a Maidou Fu Shop the brain to start having a stove. Unfortunately, the mobile stalls, there is no place to sit down; but stood beside the stove for at least some warmer. Waited 10
Minutes, next to a lamb noodle has finally started hot soy milk, and we go in and so on for a while, something to the hot water wash. Then asked for a Siwan of hot soy milk, and just pan fried in fritters. It was the thickest I've seen fried fritters, more than a full take on the Eastern canteens three times; to the two almost eat. Breakfast finished, disperse all the cold, gradually regaining strength. At this time, has just days to light up,
On the road began to appear sparse pedestrians and mules; next several stores also continued to open. Early sharing of trade seems very good,
Mai Zaodian people are doing it to God, the locals actually eat the morning then a big tub lamb!
Through the Mu Us
7:00 sharp, we just catch up with the bus door, half an hour after the start on time, we are ready to take the commitment of Yulin - the inter-provincial bus Dongsheng, Inner Mongolia, this train is according to wiki, so the car Driving Status better than going to a lot of Yulin . Moreover, from the north of the road belongs to Suide provincial highway, traffic very well. Our destination was the Sand Sea Pearl - hongjian nur. It is located 140 km north of Yulin city, northern Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia at the junction. Half of the road way is to cross the Mu Us desert.
Mu is a Mongolian, meaning "bad water" is said to be from the southern tip of a small town in the desert is named; located in Yulin area in Shaanxi Province and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region between the Ih Ju League, an area of 42.2 thousand square kilometers, the Great Wall from the east to west across the southern edge of the desert. According to research, this piece of the region in ancient times plants plump, pleasant scenery, is a good ranch. Later, due to climate change and war, the ground vegetation, lost, local sand, forming later in the desert (sand). Therefore, relocated three times in Yulin said. Starting from Yulin, and gradually into the sand by the loess landscape, and then from the sand into the desert landscape. Toward the north seems to have not made the rain, on both sides of the road is the shelterbelts to protect the transport links from the impact of sand.
On the way, met a go hongjian nur partner. Xi'an Jiaotong University is a student, he was alone, carrying a bulging of the bag, leaving for a Nikon camera body is also covered with earth tracks, apparently after a long journey. We will talk soon opened, and learned that he had just finished Tongwan visit the ancient city, where there has not been developed before, there is no traffic; only by a guard stationed troops. He alone walked on foot from the nearby town of Tongwan city, lived in the armed forces barracks. He said that there is a row, very hospitable,
May be the reason why very few people come to bar. 10000 City Commission has now weathered leaving only the collapsed buildings, but there are many cultural relics and monuments, has a high archaeological value. Where he shot a two-day landscape painting, and then the next destination, and as we go hongjian nur.
The highway for several kilometers on both sides of the shelter belt, mainly Shabo Lin and Wu willow, Salix-based, these plants can survive in the harsh desert climate. In addition, the middle belt of desert interspersed with low shrubs - Seabuckthorn, high sand Willow wind, low grass and shrubs have large roots, can be fixed sand and soil and water conservation can play a definite role.
See thousands of kilometers protection zone, the power of people can not help but sigh. While tens of thousands of square kilometers of desert, this little bit of green is just a thin line, but is it a green lifeline to connect with Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia traffic. At least in this thin line, the human conquest of nature. Must have must be very spectacular bird's eye view from the air bar.
Sand Sea Pearl
In the countless stories of travelers, the boundless desert often means a small piece of oasis in the hope of life. Because there is water, there is life, there is green. It is precisely this desert green hope to countless travelers and explorers, the courage to move forward. Our destination is such an oasis about 10 o'clock, we reached the hongjian nur. Nao is a small water beaches mean. However, the hongjian nur is China's largest inland freshwater lake, surface area of 67 square kilometers, is ten times Ningxia Sha lake, formed 70 years ago. Several underground river from here out, forming an oasis, a lake said to be exact. Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia provincial borders to the center through the hongjian nur; is why we say to the Inner Mongolia opinions on the bypass.
Hongjian nur surrounding waters, and finally be able to see vast expanses of green. That is the case, traces of the desert is still very obvious after the death of a fallen tree, was a strong sun tan pale pale, and in the lake can be seen on many areas. As the water comes from underground river, after spinning the layers of filtration, water is a clear and transparent. Sun is still so heartless and not because there's life while the slightest mercy, for immediate comparison of all seemed to be going strong. Merciless desert and the lush life are intertwined, a desert siege to live their lives, or show disdain for the lives of the desert?
Lake, is the vast expanses of sandy beaches, a bit like a seaside feel. We are on the beach, enjoy the written our name, and finally drew a big Western Electric badge, although it is estimated that out of no one recognize the badge of West electricity, can be considered to be a commemoration of bar!
By the way, the lake there are many, many of toad! Do not know how to emerge. Happens to be mating toads lay their eggs, when hordes of toads on the beach chasing drama Naozhuo; really envy that they would not have been full of school discipline to monitor the team is done at the school run. I picked up the camera, slowly squat down, quietly followed by a pair of couples in love, press the shutter ... ... ^ _ *
Into the desert
In the hongjian nur do some finishing, we are ready to go to desert. From this relatively easy access to the desert, want to risk smaller. We downloaded the satellite aerial maps, found a safer route. In fact, as long as both sides of the road casually looking for a place can be reached through the shelter belt on the desert. Taking into account the traffic problems, we decided to start from the hongjian nur, while crossing the lake an oasis is much more difficult than crossing shelter belts. From the satellite map, we found a relatively weak position of green plants to leave the lake into the desert. And our colleagues of the National Chiao Tung University's friends prepared to spend a day walking around the hongjian nur lap. Therefore, in the southwest corner hongjian nur we have parted ways.
Rare plants began to creep up to the edge of the oasis, when a piece of green eyes looking at the past to see the sand is sparse grass, an average of one square meter was then 23.
There is no water, the sun began to take an advantage; gradual withdrawal of life territory. Finally in front of us there is a bare sand dunes. The wind in the dunes on the surface carved countless fish-scale pattern, nature and the strength of its incomprehensible destruction of the hard rock and put them into a fine sand, and then the wind force them together and carve beautiful patterns . When people first see the sand dunes, almost stunned. This is simply a work of art! Climbed over the dunes, almost do not see any green. Oasis's sphere of influence to this full length. Fierce sun fell on unscrupulous sterile sand, though beautiful, but tragic.
Suddenly realized that did not take flash, such a strong contrast of the following is almost no way to photography, all the shaded area will be a black and insisted to use flash for fill light to normal shooting. Who would have thought, but in broad daylight with flash out? No way, all the photos are dark and shoot come in the face of a regiment.
Quicksand!
"Hey! ~ In front of a river!" Walking in the front of the guy waving to you. Miscellaneous Bangbian an inconspicuous place dunes do have a small river, and finally can see the water in!
In the hongjian nur around, it is often a variety of volatile underground river in it. Occasionally encountered in underground river flooding the ground impermeable layer to form a short river. The river there are some plants, but do not know why all of them die, leaving only bare poles. May be the river frequently changed, once they left the water, the seeds of life, the drought was immediately smothered.
The water is very shallow, only enough to drown the ankle only, the river is not wide, 2 meters. We walk down the river down to less than 20 meters, or around the sand dunes behind, found that the river suddenly disappeared, just as sudden as it drilled on the ground; and into the underground river. It is estimated that the destination is hongjian nur bar!
Out of curiosity, I went away at the end of the river to see how the flow of water sand inside. Only the river at the end of a small piece of wet sand, 5 m after and elsewhere is the same as dry sand, it seems almost perpendicular to the inflow of rivers and underground. Had intended to go in that small piece of wet sand to watch it to understand, at which time a sudden leap out of the sand soon as the foot of the Xianxia Qu! Like standing on the same surface on the duckweed. Sand and water, and there is no difference, but still there are such a good liquidity. Instinctive action forward a stagger, which are under two feet of the Xianxia Qu! Had to jump a step backward, but fortunately, one step back is the hard sand below, only Xianxia Qu to the knee so deep. Slowly, step by step, freeing the terrible wet sand to Napian. Several pits have been stepped up immediately as water flow of sand has been filled, and soon restored calm; even a trace of the footprints were not left!
Has not calmed down, their curiosity had overcome fear. Book argument for the theory of mixed sand, all kinds of fiction which have different descriptions, some also made it very very Xuan Hu. Finally been personally fall into the trap, and the opportunity to plan a careful study Cengzhao research quicksand.
Went relatively safe place, a few staff in hand, toes touched the front of the people use Napian wetlands, actually you can see the water ripples! As if that is the same point on the water.
The beginning we suspected that the book is not, as stated in the upper sand suspended in the water? When I feel under Xianxia Qu is full of sand, say, material on the sand than water density, how could float? It seems not the case.
We walked gingerly to the edge of a pool of quicksand, obviously you can see where the sand is not the same color and elsewhere. (Photo also can be seen) the color of sand obviously biased deeper. Incidentally, to say, Maowusu reddish color of the sand, and the other may not like the desert.
Careful look, sand and water mixed together, and that the gap in the sand, the water flow! And all the sand and the sand filled the gap between the flow of water. On the one hand, the flow of water to sand each other frictions become very sleek. On the other hand, contact between the sand and the sand surface is much smaller than the average of the sand by the flow of water to act as a lubricant. Sand become very unstable, therefore, also kept their own movement. To meet such conditions, the water must be perpendicular to pouring sand in order to resist gravity. It can be said that the lubrication of sand because the water has become very fluffy and has very good liquidity.
Farewell quicksand, we find that the remaining supplies running out, we decided to visit the desert this time come to an end. Nap in the vicinity; to be able to finish all the things eaten, to reduce their burden. We need to back road before 5:30, because the shuttle Yulin Dongsheng returned only if the afternoon trip.
10:00 PM Hotel
21:00, we dragged his exhausted body back to the Yulin. Compared to the early hours of Yulin, in the end there had been some anger on the streets, neon signs, and fragmented the taxi finally bring out a number of cities are signs.
Actually found the Trust-Mart stores! Well just add here that tomorrow's dry food and water. Now we begin to find a place to live. We try to find forestry, electric power sector, guest houses, but also clean and inexpensive. Finally, we follow a lot of that road signs, in a small alley to find the end of the government guest houses. Inquire about a bit standard room as long as 60.
We also have tricks up their sleeves. First sent two people to lead the charge and decide the right of the room and picked up the keys into the first live talk. I and another person after a half an hour after the surreptitious slipped to the door a lock, put up "Do Not Disturb" sign, the four people live in a standard room inside. In this way, took only 60 yuan to solve all of us stay an average of 15 yuan for every talent. The washed at night very much love a hot bath, comfortable呀. We found that each person who is just shaking down the sand may not add up over one kilogram of the.
5 Yue 3 Ri 11:00 AM Town, Taiwan
At half-past eight morning, we lazily crawl out from the blanket inside, back of the room. Today, our destination was the Town, Taiwan and Hong Shixia, two are not far from the city of Yulin. The Great Wall across the northern part of Shaanxi Province, while the Town, Taiwan is the Great Wall an endpoint. Vulgar as "east Shanhaiguan west of Jiayuguan, China and Taiwan, there are Town," "Town, Taiwan attached Badaling" approach, known as the Great Wall, Chen-pei, Taiwan's first, is located 4.5 kilometers north of Yulin over at Red Mountain . Thirty-five years Ming Wanli (1607) in April the following year in July, the town governor Yan Sui Chun-Tu were located in the vicinity of the Great Wall to protect the edge of the Mongolian and intercity Red Hill City, Hongshan linked up to form the top of the largest of the Ming Great Wall military observation deck, known as the Great Wall the first date, nearly 400 years of history.
Town square trapezoidal profile construction was for the four layers stacked layer by layer shrinkage delivery made, with a total height of 28.5 meters, Founder and tidy magnificent, the first layer is the base station, east wall of the south is the ancient city gates, the South East Inside is a shop with brick horse Road, wall connected with the Great Wall; second-storey 16.6 meters, two-story wall in the open Southern Taiwan coupons hole in a slab through three steps, holes in the coupon banners there are stone "to Ming,"
The north wall of the original Tu Zong-jun title of "Town, Taiwan" stone; unfortunately now been destroyed; third floor 4.1 meters high, Taitung stepping up to four external masonry; fourth 4.4 meters, an area of 255 top-level table square meters, the middle of a square brick-wood structure originally built a lookout post studio, reportedly collapsed in the late Qing period. Boarded the Town sets the top, overlooking the scenery of northern Shaanxi, it is a magnificent desolation.
Layers, enclosed by female wall, with Embrasure, Taiwan floors, brick, first floor inside the house, Central City Wall column, for the year keep Taiwan e soldier's barracks, are still ruins. Taiwan built the same period in the northeast to connect sections of the Ming Dynasty tribute city, Mongolian and Chinese officials for talks, held in Xian tribute ceremony sites; station west of the site is easy to Maastricht is the place where the Ming Dynasty Mongolian and frontier.
Of course, the Tour Town, Taiwan is not our main objective, we want to find out what exactly what the ancient Great Wall look like. Since the Town, Taiwan is the Great Wall an endpoint, walking along the Town, Taiwan is not able to see the ancient Great Wall, it? Stay away, we found Town Taiwan back wall under construction, just to have a small hole can be drilled to go. Zaozhidaojiu no Mai Menpiao the Well!
The Great Wall is how drained of
Four people in line and slipped out from that hole drilling Maozhao Yao, from the Town, Tainan side a short distance away, from here there is no repair of the Great Wall before.
Alas! It was not the Great Wall? Completely and their own imagined not the same. 400 years of wind, frost, rain and snow erosion, has led to the original magnificent majestic Great Wall of weathering leaving only the collapsed buildings. Approaching the look is simply broken wall wall! The Beacon has been eroded soil leaving only a small package. Nearby residents year round to the top ridge as Canyuan paths, remains top of the Great Wall has been Caichu a dent. We walk along the lane for a while, mounted near the top of a small land package, exactly is beacon. This found that stretches hundreds of kilometers of soil-Yuan, to the horizon and disappeared days before connecting office.
Must have 400 years ago this was the scene must be very spectacular. Then human beings because of the war has created a miracle, and in the four centuries of turbulent years, the nature and use it to silence all the silent power of this healing miracle of it all will end in the relentless forces of nature disappear.
Human boasts how great, to show off the create their own civilization and wonders; but in a natural in front of us how fragile without masana'a. Nature eventually takes time to prove its own strength and the laws of humanity can not be beat.
Approaching weathered the Great Wall, careful observation of these walls. Found a relatively minor degree of weathering a place, pulled out to carry a knife digging slowly towards the surface of the loess, in the fluffy weathering of the surface, is still hard to make adobe bricks. Can still clearly see that the joints between the bricks and the bricks at the scene. Can largely be reckoned from the seams out of bricks of the head, alas, very big bricks呀!
I Qiaoxia a piece of adobe bricks a small angle, mounted on a film in the box. Bar to take home as a souvenir! The other three individuals found that I said with a smile after this move, in fact, the Great Wall this will not fold, like SHARK these people to much more, the Great Wall should naturally collapsed.
Everyone knowing smile, and then they began to hide some of the shady side of a beacon munching ham and bread. I am dangling from a biscuit, climbed to the top of the soil bag, put on wide-angle lens, the viewfinder alignment of the ancient Great Wall stretches without a break. As I pressed the shutter of that moment, "Cameroon" is heard, leaving only a dark viewing box. Reflector plate shells are not up! Under an emergency continues to flip-chip volume wrench, but heard a crispy Duanlie Sheng. No matter how I beat, after all no longer respond.
Over, a thing regarded as scrap!
"You can see, this is retribution! Told you not to dig up the land Luanqiao, Shaanxi, this place is very scary. Waduan you this might be a Dragon, was retribution has not it?" A few people drank milk, while open joke said.
It seems, or not to destroy cultural relics good.
Hong Danxia
By the way, Hong Shixia, is also not far from the city of Yulin. This is a washed out by the river canyon. In the two walls were water washed out of caves, large and small groups. Ages people to use these natural caves, built temples, off hilltops Kaiqu building water conservancy projects, ancient literati to Inscription, chanting, leaving a large number of stone inscriptions calligraphy and painting, and has become rare in a large-scale LITHOGLYPHS group; its history can be traced back Song.
Unfortunately, during the Cultural Revolution, a large number of precious historical relics have been destroyed, is now the only remaining 33 caves are located in the Dong Ya, West Cliff only 5
Cave, it has beyond recognition.
Back Yan'an
Back to the Yulin City, several people are already hungry. Heard Yulin's lamb is well known, and very cheap. Follow the scent, we are back to the early hours of the first day of that home heating lamb noodle shop, asked for a bowl of hot Siwan lamb face. The surface until the lamb tables, My God! Then chunks of mutton, more than than the surface; while noodles as thick like belt. We throw off arm in a fight only then that they finally eliminated.
Face down a bowl of lamb belly, also the end of our trip to Yulin.
Three in the afternoon, we take the Yulin Yulin station - Suide - Yanan Express Bus, we have to fight back to Yan'an before dark.
All the way south, the landscape gradually becomes yellow oil sand soil geomorphology; just a pity that the earth is still as barren, sterile. Along the way you can see a lot of caves. At least in such a harsh environment, also survive, as well as people and nature to combat it. It is the admiration for them and unfortunately the camera breaks down, unable to shoot these images.
In the car hit a nap, woke up when the sun has just downhill. 7 o'clock or so, went to Yan'an. Out of the car and found what the forest near the electricity sector, all the fully booked hotel, tourism seems to have reached its peak. To leave the station to find a hotel there Zouliaohenyuan availability, but also expensive. Of course, we have used in the Yulin four people live in the same way as a standard room.
Finally had a night free of the activities, but I would like to spend a few moments before the camera repaired. This sets the old seagull camera with me, but how many years old comrades in arms, and swim Xiamen, climb Huashan, wearing the desert, like an old man, though a lot of problems, but has never fallen off. Must not at this time Tingbu Zhu呀!
First, to keep the film Besides, we had a hotel bathroom, the doors and windows all blocked, temporary as darkroom use. Smooth out the film back, the original film in the camera inside the fracture. Dry film may be too brittle in the sake of it, breaking the edge of the shutter curtain to the stuck. Use scissors to carefully cut the film fracture Qi, obtain other films of the empty box, the precious film carefully re-install good. Hong Danxia can at least keep some of the photographs and the Town, Taiwan. Hopefully the last one panoramic views of the ancient Great Wall has not been destroyed; was very afraid and missed a roll it is possible to make the whole film scrap ... ... Finally, the surprise film of the shaft will be installed backwards! Whether it, in Yan'an to find that studio whether we can wash the past half roll against the film. Finally Baotashan next to the shop to find a quick rinse. I am waiting anxiously to their workplace, after half an hour, finally the machine spit out the film, YEAH! Does not want exposed! Regrettably, a photo just at the fracture surface, was I used the scissors to cut in half, Alas.
The evening, we sit together to eat barbecue, potato pork on a skewer. Meal after meal, we have divided our action, head for Street, to add materials, and prepare tomorrow's program of activities. Yan'an is a long narrow city, built along the river sides. Baotashan is located in Yan'an city, at night many lights were lit to Baotashan mapping. When I put a fixed camera steady, just before I press the shutter a second tower body down the decorative lighting suddenly went out. After a few seconds, the tower's lights dim down. It turned out that there are lights set at 10 o'clock. Bangbian photographers are also loaded with a camera frame is good, shouted a pity pity. I am a little bit fortunate than him, just as those three seconds of time, but also photographed the night view of the Zhang Tashan; just a pity that the mountain a dark and a.
Hukou Waterfall
Got up at 6 o'clock, and today is the last day of our trip. We plan to Hukou Waterfall as the last leg of the trip. Hukou Waterfall from about 220 km east of Yan'an City, is located at the junction of Shanxi and Shaanxi. At half-past 10 am or so, we reached the Hukou Waterfall Scenic Spot. In fact, the original Hukou Waterfall of Yellow River water by the impact of a deep trench formed, unlike the general structure of the falls upstream and downstream fault. Hukou Waterfall of the gap is not large, only 20 meters. However, due to its special geographical structure is upstream of the river downstream of the deep trench flock to restrain the narrow Valley, the Pentium Nu Xiao, rolling waves downstream from the pit side of the jet out of shape if the giant pot boiling, so referred to as "Hukou Waterfall."
Unfortunately, early in May of the Yellow River water is not (in fact, I think it is going to stop by). We do not see the spectacular scene described above. It seems every year the Yellow River upper reaches of the vegetation is reduced, resulting in soil and water conservation capacity declined year by year. It is said that each month is the view of Hukou Waterfall 9,10 golden era. On this trip was a little regret that the final bar. Even so, this time we can still feel the Hukou Waterfall majestic momentum. In the Hukou Waterfall, with no safety devices. In this case, because the distance from the Yellow River is entirely your own'll have to see. Banks are all relatively large flat rock, the surface covered with a layer of loess. Longer rely on inside is the roar of the Yellow River,
There is no fence, a quick look at Kui Yuen. If a moment's inattention, it is possible to create a Guinness Book of Records - the distance from the Hukou Waterfall near people.
We walked gingerly to the edge of a large stone, ground his head looking at the following surging river. Days! What is that? There are individuals in the following! We are all moving in the direction of his fingers, look at the past, really, in the other side of the cliffs, there are personal and flexible use of the foot of the rocks and walls of the chimney freely from one stone to another stone, complete set surging water expense. Often billed as the original is an elderly fisherman. He holds a hand dip net, the other hand on the Pa in the chimney. Yazi barefoot, around his waist to make a bag with the broken nets. He jumps on a stone, Bazhu rock, and then half a day of looking at the foot of a motionless river. Suddenly
Meng dip net a copy of a Zhuner out. Soon, his waist bag has been filled with a half bag of fish. Flow so fast, and the Yellow River water so turbid and did not know how he look at the fish in water.
It seems that we just missed the chance to break the Guinness World Record of ... ...
The way back to Yan'an, car broke down. Depressed! Taking advantage of the air when the master is being repair, turn off a switch. There is a small village just nearby, a few old man was leaning against the wall in the shade, a positive Diao root of smoking a large pipe, pit-smoke, and the other is a nap. Quietly put the camera on a string, hanging in the chest; go front, quietly pressing the shutter. This painting farmers secretly photographed image,
Papa wearing, one of the eight odd; a typical farmer in northern Shaanxi.
Good-bye, northern Shaanxi
The car no big problem, while on the road. Back to Yan'an, around four o'clock or so. Through the train station on the way back to Xi'an, bought the 661 tickets. 22:20 drive, that is, in northern Shaanxi, we have the last 6 hours. Climbing Baotashan go! Do not mean that have never been in Yan'an Baotashan, this proposal was unanimously agreed that, stay away. Inside the original pagoda is very narrow, only tolerate a person walking. As we came relatively late, management offices would close its doors soon, so I hurriedly swim. But finally there is no white to Yan'an in.
Finally sunny for three days, this time actually suddenly it began to rain came. Anyway, have been to a place to go, and do not care. 7 o'clock we found a small restaurant drink and chat, chatting these days can see and feel. Generally speaking, northern Shaanxi, is still relatively poor and backward place. On the one hand it's natural environment was quite poor, on the other in northern Shaanxi scattered population, transportation systems were underdeveloped, there is that generally speaking, compared occlusion. While here, because a stable, closed, while the once prosperous city.
