I don't know when it started, even my mother knew that every time I traveled far, it meant the end of every job. From the previous time when I left my job, I didn’t know why I chose to take a long trip, and now I have already planned where to go before I left my job.
The new crown pneumonia in 2020 hindered my plan last year to go to East China to see cherry blossoms this year. It was very sad at the time, but there is no way, the plan cannot keep up with the changes. After the flowering period, I was not so sad, but it also slowed down my resignation. It took half a year. In the past six months, I actually planned to go to Beijing, Hulunbeier, etc., but the problem came, Beijing Xinfadi. Due to the epidemic, I dare not go.
I have never thought of going to places like Shanxi and Shaanxi. I have always felt that there are dry areas with no green plants and severe sandstorms. In the past two years, some classmates teased me to go, and I persuaded them to go to Mount Lushan abruptly, which is amazing! As for this time, it may be because I saw a certain letter tweeting that Shanxi’s 4A-level scenic spots are free this year, and then autumn came. I saw Liping Hongye’s tweet last year, so I made do. I checked the air tickets, and it seemed to be very cheap. Encourage friends to experience the northern scenery together, and the round-trip air ticket is less than 1K/person.
Said a bunch of nonsense, let's get back to business!
In other words, this is the first time in my life to go to the north, and the first time I went out of the province after the year (I went out of the city to climb the mountain a week ago). For a trip, most of them can just show their own health code, only Xi’an needs to scan the local itinerary code and health code). In the middle of the night, I flew to Taiyuan Airport and slept for the night. As an international practice, I found a hotel near the airport that included pick-up and drop-off. As soon as I got out of the airport, I achieved a cross-field from 30 degrees to 4 degrees. For Guangdong children, it was so cold that it was indescribable.
2020.10.20
I still wanted to sleep with him for a long time. As a result, I was woken up by various people rushing outside the door at 8-9 o'clock. I was unwilling to continue to sleep, but I couldn't sleep. I finally went to Taiyuan after various delays until 12 o'clock. I took the train to Pingyao in the south, and I only stayed in Taiyuan for 12 hours. According to someone like me who likes the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, there may be no chance to come to Taiyuan again in the future!
The hotel displayed the sign of the neighboring province, this picture was posted on the social media, everyone thought I was in Chang'an
My friend is a restless master. I can go shopping everywhere waiting for a bus or a plane. I’m afraid I’m crazy to buy snow bars in such a cold day.
The high-speed rail train is convenient. Taiyuan and Pingyao are here very quickly. Along the way, I saw the dry vegetation unique to the north. It was what I imagined. It was the first time I saw it and it was very fresh. Booked a homestay in Pingyao Ancient City in advance, contacted the boss in advance, and said that pick-up is included in the off-season, am I a koi carp?
It's also nice to see that the owner of the homestay's car is equipped with something like Tibetan beliefs, and the trees outside are starting to turn yellow.
The owner of the homestay is a resident, but the car cannot enter the ancient city. We enter at the north gate, and we need to show the QR code and health code reserved in advance on the WeChat official account of Pingyao Ancient City to enter. It just so happened that the northeast corner of the ancient city was being remodeled. Various layers of soil were flying in the already dry ancient city, and the homestay happened to be in the northeast area.
, and the stench of the underground sewer here has been smoky all day long.
Is this the signboard of the homestay? It's so cute, Ren Lu.
I originally wanted to try the northern characteristic kangtou, but the decoration of the kangtou room in Pingyao is full of red flower quilts that make me feel very depressed. The reason why I chose this one is that it is close to the north gate, and it is not too far to drag luggage. On the other hand, it is because the room layout is very artistic.
Because it is in the ancient city of Pingyao, the courtyard is very heavy. The owner of the homestay sent a map of the ancient city to each room, and told me how to play in the ancient city. I heard that I listened to it, but we just wandered around. We haven’t been to North Street during its renovation, so we walked to the center of the ancient city and started shopping from East Street.
East Street gets more barren as it gets closer to the city wall
On a certain street in the southeast corner, there is a Catholic church, which seems to be deserted, and the door has not been opened. There is a strong atmosphere of life here.
It’s hard to walk back on the way near the south gate
Stroll along the city wall to the south gate, unfortunately after 6:30, it is no longer possible to go up the city wall, and then walk along the South Street (it seems to be also called Ming and Qing Ancient Street, there are many restaurants here) back to the center of the ancient city
Then I went shopping on West Street, the county government office is on West Street, there are many authentic snacks on West Street, and I was full after eating while walking.
By the way, I found the Pingyao Special Snack Street near Ximen, but we are already full, and we plan to eat here again tomorrow if we have a chance.
2020.10.21
After eating some dry food at the homestay, I went out and went straight to the south gate to climb the city wall
The south gate must pass through the city building on South Street. There are many courtyard buildings that can be visited near here. They are similar, just pick a few representative ones for a stroll, such as Rishengchang, Weishengchang, county government and so on.
You can’t use the reservation code of the WeChat official account to go up the city wall. You have to scan the code on the spot to go up. There are a lot of people
View from the city wall in the direction of South Street
Looking at the middle gate from the south gate, there are flocks of birds flying in the sky, but they were not captured. The city wall cannot be passed through, and the two sides are sealed off. I still want to walk up and down from the south gate to the west gate. Unify the south gate, go down Yunlu Old Street, there are bars in Yunlu Old Street, souvenirs are sold, and the Chinese Imperial Examination Museum , I saw a lot of students coming out here yesterday, I don't know why.
Come down and go to the county government for a stroll.
I like looking at people's back gardens the most.
When the stage was filming, the sun was just right
This wall-climbing plant is beautiful
Prisons also have kang heads, increasing knowledge
Every family has a carriage
After visiting a few courtyards, I finally went to Jifu Lane for brunch. I ate a sliced noodle yesterday. I didn’t like it. I went here to find rice noodles with mixed grains from the south. After eating it, I really have a Cantonese stomach. .
It's time to leave, the proprietress will continue to send us to the high-speed rail station
Pingyao Station is a railway station, close to the ancient city, and Pingyao Ancient City Station is a high-speed rail station, a little far away from the ancient city
I don’t dare to cut my nails before going out every time, they will definitely break, and I can repair them if they are longer.
As the saying goes, one raw and two cooked, compared to yesterday where I only saw the characteristic crops in the north, today I can intuitively see the unique soil erosion landscape of the loess high slope.
Linfen is the transfer station and foothold for tomorrow's trip to Hukou, and I live next to the Public Security Bureau, which makes me feel very safe.
They still come out at night to look for food. We went to Weijia Liangpi but ordered rice and rice noodles, and we also served it.
The night view of the Drum Tower, from the Pingyao High-speed Railway Station, I saw the sound of someone whipping things with a whip, and it was even louder here in the Linfen Drum Tower
Tonight is a bit rough. My friend said that the room smells a bit loud. The window is open to ventilate and the cold is too cold. Now I have a cold and runny nose. I am so afraid that it will be worse tomorrow. What should I do?
2020.10.22
Linfen West Railway Station seems to have direct trains to Hukou Waterfall, but there are not many trains. In order to visit Linfen City, we signed up for a one-day tour with a round-trip package of 88 yuan. We just came back and got off at the high-speed rail station. Catch the last high-speed train to Hanzhong. There are many persimmon trees on the road, just like the green mango trees we planted on the roadside.
PS: Today's cold is still not good
The Drum Tower is not as beautiful during the day as it is at night. Facing the cool breeze in the morning, we waited for the bus and set off towards Hukou.
Along the way, you can also see the colorful colors of autumn. Today, the sun is very bright. Sitting on the side where the sun is shining, it is almost hot enough to sweat. I quickly changed my coat, and the cold was actually cured by the sun.
The driver also went there by navigation, and missed the high-speed exit, so he took us to Shaanxi and let us get off. Fortunately, it didn’t take us to Hukou Waterfall in Shaanxi (Hukou Waterfall has Shaanxi scenic spots, Shaanxi In Yichuan, you can see from the side and feel the water of the Yellow River rising from the sky, while in Jixian County, Shanxi, you can see from the front and feel the Yellow River (a pot of water) from the top to the bottom), a bridge that cannot be crossed by cars, we walk across it The Yellow River returns to Shanxi. This is the boundary sign of Shaanxi photographed on the bridge:
On the bridge, you can see the small island in the river where the ancients saw the Hukou Waterfall. It is said that the Hukou Waterfall has been receding upstream. The current waterfall is 3 kilometers away from the waterfall that the ancients saw. It is a short walk across the bridge. I have to buy a scenic spot shuttle bus fee of 20 yuan, and finally arrived at the ticket gate of the scenic spot. This year, I scanned the QR code at the entrance of the scenic spot to make an appointment for free tours. After entering, I couldn’t feel where the waterfall was at all. The tour guide said there Where there are many people is the waterfall.
It was only later that I found out that this photo had the words "Yellow River Cantata" on the opposite bank
A few days ago, it was announced on the official account that the scenic spot was closed. Because of the previous heavy rain, the water overflowed the bridge past the waterfall.
Many people will stay by the bridge to take pictures of the rushing water here. After crossing the bridge, there are many such people who drag donkeys to attract tourists to take pictures for a fee. Wearing it on the body to take pictures is not suitable for me, just look at the donkey.
As a reminder, remember to wear a waterproof jacket when you watch the waterfall in the past, or buy a raincoat, or you will be covered in water all over your body, or water with fine sand. This is the landscape of the upper reaches of the waterfall. I feel that the photos cannot capture the shock of the scene.
There is no splash on the upstream side, but the splash on the downstream side is as big as rain. It may be because the rainbow can be photographed in the downstream in the morning. However, in order to take a picture of the rainbow, the clothes are all wet. Fortunately, the clothes are waterproof Yes, my friend said that I was wearing a raincoat. I touched the water, and it contained a small amount of fine sand.
I read other people's travel notes before saying that the Dragon Cave can be entered, but it seems to be closed today
The scenic spot is just to look at the waterfall and it’s over. Thinking that there is still a long time before the return journey, let’s take a look at the boiling waterfall again, and feel that there are many people on working days.
Another masterpiece after the Huangshan Mountain last year, the Hukou Waterfall. Let’s divert our attention and shoot some concave shapes, but there seems to be no good background here except for the waterfall. Fortunately, this helicopter that has been circling over the scenic spot just happened to be in the mirror.
After drying the clothes, it’s time to go out. Well, you can’t go out directly. You have to go through the routines of most scenic spots, local specialty shopping malls, and a lot of apples. It is said that the apples produced here have won gold medals. But I don't like eating apples very much, so I walked back in a hurry.
After a 2-hour drive back to Linfen West Railway Station, take the high-speed rail directly across the Qinling Mountains and return to the south.
It's 5:00 p.m., the sun is about to set
When we arrived in Hanzhong, it was already pitch black.
Book a hotel next to the high-speed rail station, it's still this small and fresh, the point is that there is a passenger station next to the high-speed rail station, so it's convenient to go there
2020.10.23
I stayed in Hanzhong for two days. Although I didn’t need to pack my luggage today, the bus to Liping departed very early. I got up early and went to the hotel next to the hotel to deal with it and then rushed to the passenger terminal. Fortunately, I had time to get on the bus. up.
To explain, now that we are in Shaanxi, there is no free ticket. It just so happens that Liping is doing half-price, 77 yuan including the scenic spot sightseeing fare, and the round-trip transportation fee from Hanzhong to Liping is 68. We bought tickets + sightseeing fare + round-trip on Ctrip The package ticket for the transportation fee of 145 is the same price, but you don't need to buy it separately.
The small houses in the fields along the way, together with the early morning fog, are as beautiful as a fairyland
There is no expressway from Hanzhong to Liping, and I walked for 2 hours on the winding mountain road. I usually feel dizzy even if I don’t get motion sickness, and I have caught up with the rhythm of going to Lushan. Things take a long time. When we arrived in Liping, we heard a smell of burning iron. The axles were heating up, and the kind of smoke would come out from the water. The driver dealt with the problem of the car. We all got out of the car and took a breath of fresh air. The scenery was very good, but I was afraid that we would be left here, but fortunately the car was able to move later.
At that time, there were only 4 scenic spots in Liping, and each scenic spot was very far away. The sightseeing car was a must. The staff said that if you have a car, you can get on, if you park, you can get off, and you can go shopping after getting off the car. The first scenic spot seems to be called Yudai. The river, the scene of a general forest park, with mountains, trees and water
The second attraction is Fenglin Waterfall, the essence of autumn. I came to Liping just to see the scenery here, but because I had to pay another 10 yuan on the spot for crossing the glass bridge, my friend said no, so I just got on the bus and went to the third one. At the scenic spot Zhonghua Longshan, the staff said that the car would not go back. At that time, I didn't know where the place I wanted to see was. If I knew, I would drag her there.
I didn't see the reason for the dragon, so I just climbed the mountain, learning from the Internet celebrity photos taken by the predecessors. The Zhonghua Longshan is facing the underwater stone city, which was not opened at that time. The fourth scenic spot is Hongchen Gorge, which seems to be connected to Tianshu Cliff, where you can finally see scattered red leaves
The focus of this time, the trip to the red leaves is messed up, the red leaves here are the most satisfying for me
Before the trip, I checked a lot of the best time to view red leaves here on the Internet. I didn’t go to Fenglin, so I can’t be sure. The result is still not red enough.
An official account that saw Liping said that a hot air balloon took off on the weekend, um, well, there was not even a shadow on Friday today.
On the way back, we found that there are many places to eat near the high-speed rail station, so we went shopping all over the street.
2020.10.24
I woke up early again today. The earliest bus arrives at Liuba at 7:20 for 26.5 yuan. Fortunately, there is an expressway to Liuba, and I can get to Liuba in an hour. The second bus to Liuwai is at 9:20 , there is still an hour to go, let's go to Liuba Old Street behind the station, it's a bit like a big township, everything we see is novel.
Every household hangs this kind of thing like a kettle. I don’t know what it is for.
Also saw this chimney
The old street is very tasteful. If the time does not allow, I would like to stay here for one night. There are ginkgo leaves that are hard to see in Guangdong all over the street. What you see is what you love.
The old street is not long, and you can finish shopping in half an hour. When you return to the station, the staff said that the next bus will leave soon. It is really seamless and perfect.
The Liuba No. 1 bus to Zhangliangmiao takes the bus at the station, and you don’t need to buy a ticket. You get on the bus and pay 5 yuan (the person on the bus said it used to be 3 yuan)
In other words, those houses are ok if they are private houses, but they feel a bit like the 90s if they are used as a station. This is the bus to Zhangliangmiao
The scenery along the way is also refreshing. Guangdong children are eager to see red and yellow leaves, and there are so many slags here.
It's about an hour's drive away. I feel that this car is convenient for the villagers. There are no stop signs at each station. You just need to get off and say hello to the driver wherever you go. As for the Zhangliang Temple we are going to, we can just sit at the last stop and get off at the last stop. I also checked before that the penultimate stop can go to Liuhou Ancient Town, but we didn’t go there due to time constraints.
Tickets for Zhangliang Temple are 50 yuan, which is a bit expensive. I decided to come here because of this ginkgo tree, but after searching for a long time, I found that this tree is not in Zhangliang Temple. I am lost!
Start to wander around aimlessly, and you can get a lot of tour guides to explain if you stay here
After listening to it, I chose a road to the mountain. Halfway up the mountain, I saw a thatched pavilion, and then went up to a book-giving pavilion. Looking down from the book-giving pavilion, it was like a 360-degree oil painting, unbelievable!
When going down the mountain, I took another road and went directly to a courtyard. There is a pool in the garden, and there is a bigu pavilion in the pool. The second floor is a seductive sight.
Zhangliang Temple satisfies my various desires for autumn, and sweeps away the regrets of Liping yesterday
There is also a bamboo forest here, which can really turn. Unfortunately, the quality of some people is worrying. They all follow Monkey King to visit here, and finally found a good one.
After we had finished our shopping, we walked around the neighborhood and saw someone else went up to the archway in the middle of the road. We also went up to take a look. The green shed is the house number of Zhangliang Temple, which is under maintenance. The pavilion in the distance is the Book Teaching Pavilion. The ginkgo tree that I miss so much is in Zhangliang Mountain Villa next to Zhangliang Temple
Zhangliang Mountain Villa has become a paid parking lot. We entered it as if we were in no one's land. We took pictures of this big ginkgo tree from various angles here, and we could still see the Zhangliang Temple separated by a wall.
Only then did I realize that the ginkgo nuts that fell on the ground were smelly. There are quilt dryers in the villa, but I can see that the villa is dilapidated everywhere. Will anyone live there?
At noon, I waited for the bus on the side of the road and went back. The ticket from Liuba back to Hanzhong City is 25 yuan. I don’t know why it’s 1.5 yuan less than when I came here
After staying in the south for two days, I went to the north non-stop. The ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties, here I come.
I contacted a friend in Xi’an and made an appointment to meet tomorrow. She told us that we can go to the Guanyin Temple to see the ginkgo trees planted by Li Shimin. Unfortunately, we need to make an appointment, but we can’t make an appointment. In fact, I checked it before, but I think it’s too It was far away, and the transportation was inconvenient, so I gave up. Later, my friends in Xi'an were too busy to meet each other.
When I arrived in Chang’an City, it was getting dark again. I thought I would put my luggage and go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to find something to eat, but Lu Chi went online and got dizzy in the underground pedestrian passage of the Bell Tower. I thought this was the entrance of the subway, but I ended up eating at McDonald’s in Times Square. on
Found a live concert, the stairs up and down were almost full of people
Finally squeezed onto the subway to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and caught up with the last musical fountain tonight
However, there are so many people in front of us that there is no good location. After watching the music fountain, we will bypass the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and go to the Everbright City of Tang Dynasty in the South Square.
There are a lot of theaters, bookstores, and theaters in the South Square. Unfortunately, I didn’t see the tumbler sister during the whole journey. I can only sigh that Chang’an is really prosperous, and there are so many people visiting
The Big Wild Goose Pagoda was built for the Buddha statues, relics and scriptures that Xuanzang brought back from India, so there are also various statues of Xuanzang on the square.
However, I advise those with poor foot strength not to walk from the North Square to the South Square, it is really tiring! Good dreams tonight!
2020.10.25
Today, I went to the Muslim Street on the other side of the Drum Tower to shop and eat
Roadside stalls, mirror cakes, rose flavor, yes, I saw a lot of Muslims here
majestic dried corn
Bun bigger than pot
It's made like a brush, I haven't tasted it
After walking around for a while, I went to the city wall.
Tickets for the city wall are 54 yuan, bicycles are 45 yuan/3 hours, and a deposit of 100 is required. We entered at Yongning Gate (South Gate)
very grand feeling
When I got on the city wall, I had no sense of direction. I originally planned to walk to the East Gate and go to Yongqingfang, but after going back and forth at Yongning Gate for a long time, I finally decided to rent a bicycle and ride there.
I never imagined that riding a bicycle on the city wall would be so tiring. I found out later, why don’t we take a battery car to the east gate, and it’s only 20 yuan per stop. Isn’t it stupid?
There is no way, the road I chose, I have to finish the ride while crying. Going down from Zhongshan Gate is Yongqingfang, but there is no return point at Zhongshan Gate, you have to go to Changle Gate (East Gate). After riding for 2 hours, I am tired
Finally saw Yongqingfang, it was dark
Take one at the exit of Changle Gate, and the exit will prompt you to swipe your ID card when you leave the gate if you have to go up the city wall again today.
Yongqingfang, a lot of lanterns are hung, it feels a bit like the twelve o'clock in Chang'an
Luyu Wanghong is doing a live broadcast
