The city of pots both met in a flash away, eight Gui flavor memory to find.
I slept well last night and had breakfast early in the morning, so I packed my bags and rushed to the bus station to take the bus to Guilin. I'm about to leave Yangshuo, the small town is still quiet, and I have the slightest reluctance ......
After arriving in Guilin, we first rushed to the train station, deposited our luggage in the nearby storage area, and started the next trip with a light load.
The weather is really hot, as the saying goes, "the sky is not clear for three days" in Guilin, but in Yangshuo encountered are cloudy days, Guilin with bright sunshine to greet us, warm like fire.
Time is limited, only to visit the nearby attractions, the Elephant Trunk Hill is bound to see, hot really do not want to walk, then choose the most leisurely way - take the Li River cruise.
I vaguely remember the elementary school language text "Guilin landscape", now really come to Guilin, with the same text to visit the Li River, between memories and reality, the heart surging.
If you say that the river is a beautiful little family, then the Li River is a dignified lady. The river is vast, sparkling, the water is not so clear, but turquoise as emerald, the river bank green grass, green bamboo lush.
The cruise ship slowly forward, the guide said that the left side is the Elephant Trunk Hill, only to see the left bank there is a very wide short hill, covered with plants, with the advance of the boat, the face of the elephant trunk will be exposed. The first time I saw it or the illustration in the language book, after many years, I finally saw the original.
The boat continues to move forward, both sides of the peaks meandering, listening to the guide to introduce these mountains each like what, take a closer look at the real thing, ashamed of their own imagination barren, will only be compared to bamboo shoots.
Think of the "landscape of Guilin" in the text: "Guilin's mountains can be really strange ah, a rise, each not connected, like the old man, like a giant elephant, like a camel, the peaks are listed, the form of thousands." At that time, read nothing, now read again, can not help but empathize, admire the author's insight.
The next trip is the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas scenic area, a Buddhist-themed park. I've always loved towers, probably because I have an obsession with climbing high and looking far away, and I always feel that a bird's-eye view of a city often allows me to appreciate its lesser-known side.
The day tower for the world's highest copper tower, the body of pure copper decoration, the moon tower for the glazed tower, green tile and red brick. The two towers are like the sun and the moon, reflecting each other.
The view from the top is wide, and the beautiful lake and mountains can be seen at the bottom of your eyes.
The mountains in the karst landscape are not high, and some of them are only a little higher than the buildings in the city. I'm used to seeing skyscrapers in the city, but I've never seen so many mountains. The whole city of Guilin is surrounded by mountains, and there is a city in the mountains and mountains in the city.
Guilin's urban construction is as slow as its historical development, and the city is mostly full of old buildings with a long history. Before I left, I looked up the information and learned that high buildings are not allowed in downtown Guilin, for fear that high-rise buildings will affect the appreciation of the landscape.
I ate Guangxi cuisine in the neighborhood, and I don't know if it's authentic, but at least I don't have food regrets.
The trip to here, is considered the end. After that, I woke up early to catch the high-speed train, and parted ways at the high-speed train station, I went back to Changsha, and my mother went back to Shenzhen.
I hurried to the train station in the evening, and once again left Guilin for the nearby city of Liuzhou. This time it was not for pleasure, but for an overnight stay. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a ticket back from Guilin, so I'm going to have to leave from Liuzhou the next day.
The train was traveling slowly, the sunset was red outside the window, and it was dark when we arrived in Liuzhou.
From Liuzhou station to the hotel, see the road is clearly written "Gui B" license plate number, only to understand that Liuzhou is the original Guangxi ranked second city, second only to the provincial capital of Nanning. I can't help but feel that the fame of Guilin is too great, so that when it comes to Guangxi, it is natural to think of Guilin, and think of the strange mountains and waters there.
Unlike Guilin and Yangshuo, Liuzhou has a more modern city feel, with high-rise buildings and bustling nights.
It was exhausting to travel to three places in one day; that's what traveling is all about, it's exhausting and fun.
The trip came to an end here. After that, get up early to catch the high-speed train, in the high-speed train station parted ways, I went back to Changsha, mother back to Shenzhen.
I remember when I was a kid, I went to Binyugou in Zhuanghe City, a place called "small Guilin", but really went to Guilin, Binyugou's scenery suddenly eclipsed. I think if you have seen the Guilin peaks and waters, and then look at other landscapes, it is not surprising.
Three hours of driving, all the way to appreciate the memories and taste, fleeting.
1, Guilin this side of the tap water quality is relatively "hard", wash your head every day feel hair is still oil. Later, I learned that in fact, this is related to the karst landscape formed by the underground caves, the groundwater contains high calcium.
2, listen to the local aunts in Yangshuo, Guilin Yangshuo side in order to protect the landscape, not allowed to build factories, so the air is very fresh. I grew up in the northeast, I grew up on the heavy industry and other commonplace, a little envious of such a living environment.
(final) Thanks for reading!
