I first came to Liupanshui in August, 1996. At night, I entered the center of the city, and there were stars in the city. There was no special impression. At 8 o'clock the next morning, in the sunny street, the arm exposed outside the short-sleeved shirt was covered with goose bumps, and walking in the shadow of urban buildings was windless but cold. This is also the opening remarks of Liupanshui.
The indoor temperature in Beijing in August is 27 degrees, which is the most normal. The outdoor temperature of Liupanshui is 27 degrees, which is just one or two days. With more and more visits to Liupanshui, the climate here gives me a lot of exploration.
Zhu Degui is the director of Liupanshui Meteorological Bureau. He has lived in Liupanshui for nearly half a century and has been engaged in meteorological research for 28 years. The climate in his hometown has always made him want to find someone to "have a good talk".
it is this same interest that we have many topics to talk about.
"According to the standards of meteorology and division, the average daily temperature for five consecutive days exceeds 22 degrees, which is the symbol of summer. In July and August, the average daily temperature in Liupanshui is only 19.8 degrees, and the overall temperature changes slightly in one year, with an average annual temperature of 13-14℃. It can also be said that it is spring or autumn in Liupanshui. " Director Zhu said.
Of course, Liupanshui still has summer. Rice is abundant here. This is a sign of summer in phenology. To find a summer resort, Liupanshui should be one of the first choices: the temperature is balanced, humid and not hot, and there is no need to bear the congestion and expensive expenses in the tourist area.
With this idea, we began to look at the city from the perspective of tourists.
Liupanshui is a city composed of four counties and special zones, which was once a city in the world. The total land area is 9914 square kilometers, accounting for 5.63% of the total land area of Guizhou Province. Located in the watershed area between the Yangtze River and the Pearl River, it is rich in water resources and rich in coal resources, which is the core area for the construction of the third line in China in the 1961s. The karst landforms here are complete in types and typical in development. The ground point is Jiucaiping in Wumeng Mountain range, with an altitude of 2911.3 meters, which is called "the roof of Guizhou". The lowest point is the river valley in the north of Mao Kou Township, Liuzhi Special Zone, with an altitude of 586 meters. The average elevation in the territory is between 1411 and 1911 meters, and there are ***1121 peaks above 1411 meters. From the data alone, this is enough to make Liupanshui the "top of Wumeng".
there are many details worth pondering when driving around Liupanshui city. Because it is adjacent to Yunnan, the flowers here are cheaper than those in Guiyang, the provincial capital. There is often a large flower shop at the corner of the street, and flowers bloom in the shop all year round. And the clothing of famous brands at home and abroad is also a three-five-step store here. What interests me most is the fried potatoes or baked potatoes in the street food stalls. Liupanshui is rich in potatoes, each of which is almost two or more, fried or baked until golden, and smells fragrant from a distance.
eat in Liupanshui and divide it into big meals and snacks. There are several famous Sichuan restaurants that eat like a national chain. The most noteworthy snack is the frying pan, which can be used as both a main meal and a snack. Everyone is surrounded by a table, a pan is placed in the hollowed-out place on the table, and vegetable oil is put when eating. After the oil temperature rises, all kinds of foods are fried in the pot. Diners are chatting while eating in the sound of friendly cooking. The most pleasant thing is that the things fried in this pot are those that grow on the mountain, fly in the sky, swim in the water and run on the ground. Bottom line: Anything you can think of can be eaten here. The first time I went to Liupanshui to eat this delicious food was on a street, where there were countless small shops selling this delicious food. Now, when you arrive in Liupanshui, you can go directly to the frying pan shop called "Western Snack City". After you sit down in the shop, the store will send you a blue flower cuff and a checkered apron, which are the same color for both men and women. This is to prevent small oil spots from splashing on your clothes when you eat. In addition to the private room, the whole hall can accommodate nearly 111 people, and it is almost packed for a long time. Especially at night in autumn, there is a cool breeze outside the window, and the room is full of excitement. Think about it, dozens of people sitting around the table, unified small apron, small sleeves, can be called spectacular. I'm afraid it's only in Liupanshui that I can eat so much and so delicious.
No matter where you go to a city, there is a scenery that can't be ignored. Girls walking in the city, because these "girls" who express youth and fashion, sometimes represent the vitality of this city. I like watching the girls in Liupanshui. Because of the high humidity and moderate ultraviolet rays, girls in Liupanshui are not as white as snow, but they are shiny and delicate. Even boys rarely see acne-covered faces.
In recent years, the effect of returning farmland to forests has been remarkable, and the intensity of environmental improvement has been intensified. There has been no acid rain in Liupanshui for three consecutive years. In 1981s, Liupanshui was a famous acid rain disaster area in China. Today, the contents of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide in Liupanshui meet the national first-class emission standards. "The air is clean!" It is the feeling of everyone who lives in this city. "1851" This is a data given to us by Director Zhu. This is the high altitude in the downtown area of Liupanshui, which is at the low end of the alpine climate, and is conducive to the treatment of diseases of nervous system, respiratory system and cardiovascular system. The more I know about this city, the more I feel that this seemingly simple industrial city has so many little-known advantages.
The gradual cultural atmosphere makes Liupanshui more and more attractive. Walking in the central city, flowers bloom all year round in the isolation belt on both sides and in the middle of Zhongshan Avenue. The buttonwood trees on both sides of the road are singing "Four Seasons Songs": Spring has just sprouted, with shame and charm; In summer, however, I have a manly spirit, straightening my back and arms to shelter people from the sun and rain; In the autumn of golden leaves, the sorrow of the phoenix tree, which is more drizzling, is vaguely outlined; Winter is not lonely, the tree has no leaves, and there are mottled marks on the trunk, which freehand brushwork the experience and calmness left by the years. Looking at it will remind people of this city and its pioneers.
"With the development of the western region, many businesses have set their eyes on Liupanshui. If they are here to do electrical appliances business, first of all, don't sell fans, and only sell air conditioners that can heat. The refrigeration function of air conditioners is not used here. If they are passionate about starting a business, they will definitely sell for a good price." This kind joke was told by Mr. Qi in Liupanshui central city when chatting with us. The old gentleman from the northeast has been to the north in winter after retirement and returned to Liupanshui in summer. "My wife and I don't have to worry about the children when they are older. I still have my brother and sister in my hometown. I want to stay with them for a while when I go back, but I can't stand it in summer, so I am like a migratory bird, but I go north in winter and go south in summer, just like the coolness of this summer! " I noticed that he used a "back".
Liupanshui, a city that can't find hot summer days. Because of this word "cool", there are many exciting memories. This pearl between the majestic Wumeng is called "the cool capital".
