Chapter 129: The Ancient City of Dali
Situ went down to have breakfast, generally speaking, the group meal of the tour group is the breakfast of the hotel can also be eaten, the main meal is very poor, unless you can arrange a little snack like last night, the money is not much, you can eat a little bit of character. Situ knew that there must be no food at noon, and decided to eat more in the morning, she drank a bowl of white porridge, asked for two fried eggs, made a plate of green vegetables by herself, and ate a few steamed buns and other noodles and two pieces of bread, fortunately she came down early, and after a while, the people in the tour group came down, and the restaurants in the hotel were a little insufficient. Today, I went to Cangshan and Erhai Lake, first took a car to the ancient city of Dali, visited the ancient city of Dali and the foreigner street with bluestone pavements to feel the exotic customs. The ancient city of Dali is a thousand-year-old city where the Bai people have been resting and recuperating for generations, and has been destroyed by wars and earthquakes many times. Now it still retains the thousand-year-old appearance, some cultural relics and architectural wonders left in the ancient Dali period have become the most important symbol of the ancient city, and it is also a must-see landscape for all tourists. The current ancient city of Dali was built in the fifteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, and was rebuilt by the state in 1987.
The whole city gate in the ancient city of Dali is the most well-preserved, the whole city gate looks far away, the high city gate is the vigorous "Dali" two words, the thick wall, the dignified color, the big characters of Cangning all reveal its vicissitudes and the story of a long time. Dali flowers bloom in all seasons, the natural scenery is beautiful and colorful, Cangshan is like a screen, and Erhai Lake is like a mirror. Situ looked around, trying his best to feel the quiet and distant tranquility and the simple and heavy vicissitudes of life from everything around him, but he was a little disappointed. Although the houses, shops, and workshops on both sides of the street are connected to each other, they are shrouded in a strong modern commercial atmosphere. The streets are lined with shops with a variety of shelves selling a variety of ethnic crafts and tourist souvenirs. There are also flavor restaurants, and there are also various gold, silver and jade shops.
All the shops are full of people coming in and out, and business seems to be very prosperous. But in any case, he couldn't find a quiet and distant leisurely mood and a long history of precipitation complex, Situ was a little disappointed, but now all the large and small tourist attractions in China are like this, Situ is helpless! She walked slowly on the streets of the ancient city of Dali, feeling the hustle and bustle, the phone rang, she picked it up and looked at it, the unfamiliar number, hesitated, Situ answered the phone, "Hey, who is it?" ”
"Haha, Situ, I'm Yue Ming, hello."
Situ thought for a while, and then he reacted, it was the teacher he met at the last blind date, "Hello, Yue Ming." “
"I don't know if you have time in the evening, if you can, how about having dinner together in the evening?"
"Oh, I'm no longer in Shenzhen now, I'm on a business trip, and I'll be back in a few days."
"That's a pity, I'll make an appointment when you come back."
"Okay, I'm a little busy right now, I'm going back to talking. Bye. Situ hung up the phone and let out a sigh of relief, she really couldn't stand it, she couldn't refuse people directly, she thought that it would be dragged on, after a long time, people naturally understood.
The free activity time stipulated by Director You is an hour, everyone solves it by themselves at lunch, Situ casually eats a little snack, and in the afternoon takes a luxury cruise ship on the Butterfly Spring Taoyuan Wharf to visit Erhai Lake, the beautiful plateau lake, the blue waves on the Erhai Sea, the lake water is blue and blue, the lake is very calm, I feel the poetry and painting of people swimming in the painting, and the group meal in the evening is the eight bowls of Dali soil with Dali characteristics.
Traveling in Yunnan is to make a bus for a particularly long time, every day to take more than three or four hours of car to reach the scenic spot, people who are not in good health really can't stand it. After arriving in Lijiang, visit the plateau Gusu, Lijiang Old Town and Sifang Street, admire the small bridge and flowing water people, Sifang Street, big waterwheel, Naxi murals, Dayan Town, Dashiqiao, and appreciate the charm of the ancient city of Dayan Ancient Town, which is "shaped like an official seal and the four directions of the right town". At the foot of the alley are thousands of years of mottled stones, covered with moss, and on both sides are weathered and mottled ancient houses, some of the walls are almost all peeled off, and some roofs are overgrown with weeds, vassons and moss. Situ slowly felt the romance and leisure of the ancient city, let the light sleep time pass slowly, the small bridge flowed, the ancient road was long, strolling in the meantime, the tourists were weaving, endless, so all the complexes flew away in the commercial atmosphere of the street, and Situ was helpless.
At noon, he still solved the problem of lunch by himself, Situ went to visit the snack street, tried Lijiang baba, bait, and tried Yunnan's authentic cross-bridge rice noodles. In the afternoon, he took it to shopping again, and Situ was a little bored, but he had no choice, so he had to not make a statement and buy nothing.
In the evening, the tour group arranged to stay in Lijiang, and after arranging the accommodation, Situ came out by himself. As night falls, all kinds of lights under the eaves on both sides of the street continue to shine, in this quiet and harmonious night, glowing red, hazy, accompanied by the intoxicating sound of bar singers playing and singing on the street, so that the ancient town exudes a kind of ambiguity and temptation of the night. The shops along the alleys are brightly lit, and in the bars by the stream, people from different places gather to taste the happiness of a brief acquaintance, feel the fine wine of Naxi, and the smell of alcohol and coffee begins to fill the air. The night scene of Lijiang, strange and ancient, longing and reality, people and ancient towns, Situ felt a little trance. Maybe there should be such an encounter in such a place, a woman with a grievance like a lilac, holding a paper umbrella, walking into a long alley, meeting a poet who does not know the hardships of life on a snowy night, talking about a love like a song and crying, and then parting in the mist and rain. Situ's mind was messed up, he didn't think it was a little funny, when did he become so sad, so he should go back to sleep quickly.
