As visitors too much, the people on board were composed by the individual, all the way to guide us a lot about the story of Ashima. Ashima is in the Yi those beautiful, kind, hard-working girls respectfully, A Negro who is simple, kind, brave boys of the honorific title, and Ah Yi white brother is in the Playboy. It is strange, they said the toilet called Because it is overcast and rainy weather, the scenery outside the car is so foggy one, the car in the mountains between the coil, we have a little sense into fairyland. tour guide said this is a minor celebrity in the way of the Three Gorges, we looked out the window, really feeling a little bit of the Three Gorges. road on both sides of the mountain having wild cactus, they are tenacious growth in the chimney room. in the mountains and the famous Vietnam Railway, the railway was built by the French money, said that when this When railway construction was hard, and almost every sleeper has a labor under the spirits of the dead, it can be said that the railway was built with the labor of the blood and tears made. looked up looked, this narrow gauge coiled like a snake the mountains, it is dangerous, I think if the train to Hanoi, Vietnam, to really sort of courage. and have fun with us a couple of Sichuan, there was a girl in Kunming, as well as one of Taiwan compatriots and his his girlfriend, though we just met soon, but get along very harmoniously. Stone Forest is what it is like not going in, I had in mind the imagination. In fact, I have been not very cold on the stone forest, so the total does not feel the formation of , but when I entered the Stone Forest Scenic Spot, I found that if I did not come, I will regret it for life. I was endlessly rising front of the scenes again and again to the magnificent peaks of the nature of the shock, and the ability of nature that no one really can be predicted, he actually be able to create such a beautiful landscape, I sigh, my heart has no words to describe, and only stared at the stone which is full of vitality daze. walk in between the layers of rocks after another, there is no people are willing to blink. After a attractions, tour guides will explain to us the legend of these stones, similar to relying on one-third of the stone, we have to come up with seven of the imagination to see these stones. through Poetry Mary A Heige here and sing folk songs. Our guide was a beautiful Ashima, she invited us to a member of the folk songs with her, but apparently our fellow men who have nothing prepared, so do not sing good, but very good. from the size of the Stone came out, we came to There are many, many. where each of the tea is very tasty, so we all bought some. from the is the rain is not a good flavor, unlike the steaming rain in Beijing as hard to endure. The most important thing is the air here is very good, is simply a natural oxygen bar. Kunming very slow pace of life, people have had a very leisurely pace, it will be to enjoy life, if older, and life here can be really good, but young people here a little awkward, but I like the fast pace of life, as more challenging, but I still love this city! We are not eating dinner late, so he packed up ready to go to Dali. in travel arrangements, we boarded a sleeper train bound for Dali. This car is a local car company refitted with a bus They removed the seats, and then produce their own up and down on the pavement, which looked bigger way, but lay up only to find much worse. First, the air inside the well, the quilt has a taste of it, and dirty Xixi, followed strictly the window, we go at night nowadays heavy rain, the rain came streaming down the windows, damage a piece of my pants wet, feel awful! Fortunately, I was tired out, so off to sleep , or I can not stand. This is my first ride this car, I think this is the last time I take this car.'ve heard good mountain walking, but also burn the midnight oil, my heart still uneasiness in the beginning, will fight it later, when the line to wish a safe journey home. June 17, 2003 rain Tuesday morning, rain or the next stop, but also have failed to clear the meaning of God really blessing us, we were afraid of the sun So always give our umbrella shade, but heavy rain can be detrimental to us anyway, no matter what play we finally reached peace Dali, wait a moment, there is a travel agency to pick us up two guides, one Bai wearing clothes, then know that she is the real Bai. guides have received a silver car through our hotel, arranged for us to stay. After breakfast, we set out for the ancient city of Dali. departure, we filled prevention of SARS, health form, is very time Well, you can understand. car moves, the guide began to explain that we are forever in the history of Dali, after listening to half a day I did not understand, what they said what the king too much, I One did not remember, just remember the history of the Duan Zhengchun is headed, and Duan Yu is loving the people as a good emperor since it seems really the history of these people.'ve got to see the reality of Dali City, and heart is very excited. tour guide gave us a lot about the customs of Bai. Bai very unique girl's clothes, their marble header reflects the That Baixu is totally untouchable, or we need a big trouble. Baixu long is unmarried girls, if you touch, you gotta work was left to her house, she observed you for three years, think you good She will leave you for life, then let you go back to the contrary. cut off half of the married women, it is a more untouchable. there is a very interesting situation, that is, wearing a blue bodysuit, but the head The Baixu not cut, if you saw this dress, that shows that her man is inserted down the door. Do not overlook ah, in the Bai, the man is not in the outside work, as long as home cooking, laundry, watching kids on the line, so the men are idle ah Bai, while women are busy. that we can not talk about the hills of Dali, Erhai Lake, while the reference to these two sites, we can not talk about Dali of the wind, flowers, snow, four King of the month. Wind: Dali in Yunnan this place is well-known air, strong winds almost continuously all four seasons, the year the wind, formed a scene of Dali today. Flowers: Cangshan on rhododendron and the formation of mountains and plains of Dali's second scene. It is said here, many dozens of azaleas, a variety of colors is almost always, when the azalea flowers open, Colorful away people's eyes and ears, truly beautiful. Snow: Cangshan the main peak of the Peak is not snow all year round, coupled with green grass of the ridge, it is added to his mystique, which is three Dali landscape. May: Every night, bright, quiet moonlight poured in the ripples Among the Erhai Lake, the kind of serenity can be enjoyed only the gods, the four King to mobility among the Erhai Lake in the quiet. Dali and morals is very simple, the Bai people are very industrious, they dress in antique marble, it has also retained the ancient city of Dali the ancient architectural style. and gray tiles, white walls, eaves and corners is the unique architectural style of the Bai. checkerboard pattern of Dali, the construction is made of, streets inside the complex, visitors can only be general, opposing powers community stream to go forward. Every time the dead of night, that gurgling sound of water as if to knock on your heart, it is a feeling words can not, it seems that your soul has experienced failure of the city thousands of years to maintain the together, and that the sound of water is she talking to you with a thousand years. Now, the marble city has become a popular tourist spot, so both sides of the road houses have been converted into shops, and each store to sell to tourists in Dali local specialties. which marble is the most sold, and each marble, you first need to see how its texture, a single pattern from its look, you will be fully brought to the world it depicts, there is no people can avoid it you attract, and no one will be fascinated by its daydream. Each color of the marble has a very good name, especially The most famous marble. Dali Foreigner Street with the Tea-Horse Road is known as happened in recent years. Since China opened up, there are many foreign tourists come here, he was deeply fascinated to here, so they will be rented on a street a few houses, opened a wide variety of exotic bars, as more and more foreigners move in, this street was known locally as a foreigner street. and the big city hustle and bustle of noisy different bar, where the bar is quiet and gives the impression, the feeling of sitting inside who can really only went to enjoy. Although this street is full of exotic, but it gives the feeling is not incompatible, but completely into the entire city of Dali, this feeling is hard to implicit. out of Dali City, about a few minutes drive to the famous marble came three pagoda, because the travel agent did not give us arrange this route, so we just the car looked, the impression is not very deep, but it left me with a sense of mystery to find out. Three pagoda again came to the hills not far ahead. In fact, not just a mountain hills, which has eighteen peak is the highest we have to board, feeling. We only by cable car to 2600 meters above sea level, when the rain has become a drizzle, the air is fresh, the mountains of clouds gradually moved up, which has been shrouded in clouds also disappeared the ridge, What: 40 cm, to carry four people to move, we also tried a very Shen na! go up from here, came to the hills one of the three springs: With a pool of clear water and the faint waterfall cliff strokes, scales reddish flowers, Huangyou You live out of her. Beyond it is not possible, because not open to visitors, we had to ride the cable car down the mountain with regrets the. from the hills down, had lunch, we drove to the famous for the Butterfly Spring. filed Butterfly Spring, to remind us, , Jinhua Bai is a title of women, and men collectively known as Bai Peng brother. mention that the Department has adopted the famous story of the film spread across, and the Butterfly Spring also to the east wind, become familiar with the famous scenic spots. In fact, Butterfly Spring is not all because of Master Xu's article about the Butterfly Spring Butterfly Spring article is so famous for the real reason. enter the Butterfly Spring Park, we are along the road leading to the butterfly spring of a bluestone walk, both sides of the lush bamboo forests and trees, after the baptism of a more green the rain. bamboo pavilion, the twos and threes in the hands of the Bai women busy at work in several beautiful Bai occasional girl was invited visitors to take pictures, everything is so natural freehand. After a walk , we look forward to a long-Butterfly Spring Lake, saw an water pouring down from above, curved springs filling my eyes. spring small, but very quiet, as coincides with the rainy season, so the springs of water than usual slightly larger. Waibo spring next to a tree, called Acacia, said in mid-April each year thousands of butterflies flying tree under the tree, they are tightly stacked together, a few days to leave, commonly known as butterfly, Butterfly Spring are thus the name. But this is only a legend, there are no such grand occasion for many years, and because people pay attention to the protection of the butterfly now less and less, there are many species have disappeared. Although no opportunity to see such a grand scene, but can imagine that a really unprecedented prosperity. Guo Moruo have put poetry in the Butterfly Spring River: the. from the Butterfly Spring out of range of today's tour is over, we returned to hotel to rest a bit, to discuss the city at night to go visit and see where the night is what kind. Dali share unique addition to the quiet night, Also added some vitality, ancient architecture of the body are covered with neon lights, colorful lights is really attractive, until then only to make people feel the modern city atmosphere. Many visitors have chosen this time to go shopping or go to the store buy local products, or to the enjoyment of the foreigner street of bars to drink, or take a walk along the Tea Horse Road, enjoy a moment of pleasure. I really want to wait until the dead of night, stand here to enjoy the moonlight shines on the city is sense, it is fascinating how ah! June 18, 2003 Wednesday Partly cloudy with thunderstorms that night I slept soundly, as if in a dream years ago, the marble with the soul of country exchanges, but wake up come, all we are not traces of really sweet dreams! is a sunny day, but also a new starting point. After breakfast, we boarded the coach to set foot on the journey to Lijiang. passes through the hills eighth peak, although the sun is shining, but the top of the hill is still misty, it seems that it is We also look for a while in the car, although do not see the blue waves of the view of Erhai Lake, but from afar, a stretching dozens of white water, but also spectacular. where labor is also very characteristic of people in the hills People living under, for mainly by agriculture, and the people who live in the Erhai Lake side, mainly on the fishing industry, though not far apart, but different. speeding cars continue to move forward, Dali also away from us . Although there are many places in Dali we do not have to go, but we are still playing very happy. In fact, there are so many things, once you know the truth is boring, the more defects are the most beautiful left point. In my mind, Dali was so mysterious and strange, I think I'll never forget it. Across a flat road, the car began to climb the mountain. Although Yunnan and other provinces are still lagging behind in comparison, but the road is built rods, although the walk is a mountain, but we do not feel a little bumpy, the body just as the cars around every turn and swing, but fortunately, I do not motion sickness, or it may be enough for me to bear. twists and turns, the mountain also increasingly high altitude sickness has cropped up, but fortunately, my reaction is not very strong, just a little bit dizzy. Yunnan weather changes really fast, or just sunny, and now the clouds had. As the next several days of rain, the mountain mist more than usual. I walked and the car drove into a cloud of them, a foggy window, could not see anything, and visibility is only about ten meters, the speed also will be cut down. listen to the driver master said, because the high altitude here, and the mountain to build in the hillside, so they are often in the clouds in the shuttle, have been accustomed to. It seems that people here often to ;, and really envy them. through this section of the road, but also sunny, or else strange in the eighth there in Yunnan: We drove up the plateau on which a basin, the driver said the master, then if the weather is clear, where you can see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, but we are less fortunate, the Yulong Snow Mountain today, hidden in the clouds, alas, but also a evasive. Aoyama put around to show off to us all kinds of gestures, including a mountain range, whole body gray, not long grass, it is said that this is a Yanshan Mountains, past people on this mountain of salt. Yuehua Jian, we entered the Lijiang. there was a Naxi guide to pick us up, because the time travel arrangements to us very nervous, so we quickly finished lunch, set out for a spot. tour guide first took us to the Black Dragon Pool. black Dragon is a small spring pool, called the Black Dragon as to why, I do not know, but the lake is dark, unlike the other spring as either green, or else the Qing. raised a lot of red carp lake, one of a back and forth in the water, so uncomfortable. Black Dragon Pool near the side of the mountain there are many springs, an icy wave of the puffing out of spring, even summer, the water here is still Toru ice cold. It is said that the underground springs that the snow melted on the Yulong Snow Mountain from the ground together, as through the rock layers are described as natural eat this kind of water. I also took the opportunity to filling a bottle with mineral water bottles, gee, that is cool, smooth texture, not as we usually drink mineral water dry. If the weather is sunny, cloudless days, from the Black Dragon Pool North looked to the Yulong Snow Mountain stands not far away. snow-capped mountain tops and lush huge contrast, if the Yulong Snow Mountain from the bottom reached the top, will experience the warm and cold seasons change. Of course, it remains the Yulong Snow Mountain Block virgin peak, no one can be successful ascent, which has added some mystery in it. from the Black Dragon Pool, we then drove to the Old Town of Lijiang. just entered the ancient city of Lijiang, first of all into our eyes is the Lijiang One of the ancient city of landmark buildings --- two huge water tankers. Lijiang ancient city has been targeting the world's historical and cultural city of UNESCO, the certificate is made of huge stone to the back of the vertical in the water tankers. and its enjoyment equal treatment of the Chinese city of the ancient city of Pingyao in Shanxi Province only. Pingyao ancient city I've been to many times, it is mainly well-preserved ancient city wall and the Ming and Qing dynasties of ancient buildings, is a typical northern city. The Old Town of Lijiang to completely different with it, and it's history should be more than the ancient city of Pingyao ancient, cultural connotation richer, with a typical southern style, but with the architectural style of Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is like a house of each a small palace, And housing is stacked layers, the street while not spacious, but do not seem crowded, and Dali City, just as bridges. but traces of artificial stream Dali too, and the streets of Lijiang Old Town is built along the river , and both sides of the house as well, so the construction of Lijiang, Dali construction than those who still slightly better, he knows the mountain campaign, take advantage of what nature had there, not to change it, in this sense First, this is a builder who know how to enjoy life. Lijiang ancient city of Dali, although not as smooth vertical and horizontal, but it is difficult to follow some kind of unspoken law of nature, so although experience of the Millennium, but it seems more than Dali youth and vitality. happy times are always off soon, and shortly our trip coming to an end, with a reluctant heart, and we returned by car to the Dali, a hurried dinner, get the train back to Kunming rush away. I would like to have a chance, I will be back again to see the beautiful scenery, but I know this opportunity was not to be, with beautiful regret, drowsily to enter into sleep. June 19, 2003 Thursday, light rain changing to cloudy to clear, Kunming is still like a calm, everything is so quiet, as the drizzle like this, . travel arrangements for us to today, a lot of fun. This time we are also individual group mission, but a lot of people, I only remember two girls in Shenzhen, Kunming, two local girls and a boy, there are family of seven people in Zhejiang. The two girls in Shenzhen is just finished college entrance examination, out for the day. I found a girl or a Shenzhen bold, no one accompanied the two girls to travel out to my parents certainly do not worry. Along the way, with the tour guide told the same when we go to the Stone Forest the folklore and legends, and go with to the Stone Forest is the same way. because they have heard, so I took the opportunity to sleep a little while. Although the time is coming very bumpy road, but I slept very soundly, I guess I really too tired. get off lunch, we as the tour guide into the cheerful birds, I truly understand that what is People can take the elevator in the valley while watching the scenery. from the point of view to the canyon is very narrow, lined with cliffs, rock crevices, occasionally in some sprang some plants, enveloped in the gorge, making the valley more dark , out of the elevator, the wind chill all of us numb the scalp. We are led by tour guides, wearing life jackets, ship to superb boat skills, so we take the boat is very stable. ship gradually drifting into the valley, when I see the original Valley is even narrower than we imagine, can only accommodate two hull, although the program is very good boatman, but still a bit dangerous. As the rocks here are limestone, so the valley there are rock walls on both sides have been washed out of the water modeling, very interesting. from to cave in. The cave really great variety of stalactites, stalagmites, stone pagoda in front of us fully rendered in colorful light exposure, the more people look dazzling. We walked along the cliffs on the The trail gradually excavated deep into the cave's interior. These paths are above the year-round water droplets fall from the soaking wet and slippery is bad to go, believe it is a tumble. caverns of the interior is a large cave nearly 10,000 square meters hall, exhibition hall dominated by a variety of stones. about the variety of scenery, there are about names, there are about place names ... ... really strange, full of wonders. especially the second one the most striking sign of the Zodiac stones the twelve animal signs are so lifelike, they're made wonders ah! out from the hall, we came to the underground waterfall. Since entering the rainy season in Yunnan, so now the waterfall very, very far to hear the rushing Wow loud noise. It is said that in the past particularly when water, flooded the lower reaches of the cave can, because repair of the dam, so this situation has not emerged. waters upstream from the river down by a boulder split in two, water pouring down from the rock on both sides, to form a waterfall now become two spectacular waterfall views. water spilled on a stone hit a piece of white spray, issue of the roar was deafening. along the stone steps up, we came to another cave. This cave is much smaller than the previous more than that, but here it gathered more stalactites, stalagmites, stone pagodas, there are amazing Dan Titian, but the terraces in the water but nothing more than dirt. out from this cave, but also through a bamboo forest, we came to take the cable car place. and other people are gone, I sit cable car and tour guides have begun to return Jeddah. from the cable car point of view, are the dense pine hill and dale , cable car is not very high, almost touching the top of the tree we past. back parking lot, ride, return to Kunming. in Kunming we stay another night, traveling to an end. going back to Beijing. In retrospect, Although some of this unsatisfactory place to play, but overall, we still have fun. After all, did not leave work for a long time, the spirit has been high tension, although travel is also very tired, but the nerve can be relax, feel that is pleasing, physical pain is nothing. sitting on the plane back to Beijing, inadvertently saw the rainbow after the rain these days, she is so beautiful, so pure, does not become a trace from the reality, I think This may be it is a portrayal of Yunnan, Caiyunzhinan, paradise on earth, heaven on earth!
