Lijiang Xingping impression

This is my fourth visit to Yangshuo, and every time I swam the Lijiang River by boat, I came home happy, thinking that I had finally read all the mountains and rivers here. Last year, I chatted with my friends while drinking tea leisurely by the Lijiang River, and my life was very pleasant. On that day, I found a nice hotel by the Lijiang River for one night, but I didn't have much time for Xingping every time, and most of them came and went in a hurry.

This time, my husband and I don't intend to go to too many places. After staying in the hotel opposite Yuanbaoshan, we decided to stay here. Even if you don't go out, looking at the misty rain that changes from time to time outside the window, drinking tea and being in a daze is also a very enjoyable thing.

Mr. Wang is a man with strong planning. He collected some information in advance, so he was prepared. In fact, I also know that for three consecutive days, it was a rainstorm with heavy rain and light rain. Since I deliberately came for this misty rain, I didn't feel the slightest sense of loss, but I was glad.

The girl at the front desk of the hotel is warm-hearted. Seeing that I always stare at the rain outside the door, thinking that there is melancholy in my eyes, she kindly told me not to worry. It is said that last year, due to the simultaneous release of water from three major reservoirs in Guilin, the flood rose to the steps of the hotel. Of course, the government will definitely inform everyone before releasing water.

You can go to the island by boat with 5 yuan money from Xingping Wharf, and walk around the island's historic camphor tree twice in the rain. Although there is no feeling of covering the sun, people still look very small when standing in front of it. The local people told me that after a thunderstorm opened a big branch of the old camphor tree last year, the 16-year-old camphor tree shrank by a third, and that branch was bought by a foreigner for 69 thousand.

The heavy rain for two consecutive days suddenly made the Lijiang River, which is usually soothing and warm, a little impatient, but there were no fewer luxury cruise ships on the river. Compared with these big ships from Guilin, the cruise ships docked at Xingping Wharf are obviously much simpler, and the original plan to relive the past time by cruise ship will be abandoned.

The sound of raindrops beating on the bamboo forest is very clear and rhythmic, and the long forest path stretches all the way into the distance. If it is a sunny day, this beautiful forest can be comparable to the scenic spot of the movie "House of Flying Daggers".

not far from the other side of the river are the scenic spots on the back of RMB 2 and Jiuma Painting Mountain. The mountains are connected with water, and the water leans against the mountains. Numerous magnificent paintings of Danqing are displayed. No wonder the painter Xu Beihong once said, "The beautiful scenery of Yangshuo is in Xingping".

When we returned to Xingping Pier, the owner of the parking lot asked us when we would drive away and whether we would stop here for the night. I took it for granted that the boss was afraid that we would take up the parking space for too long, but he said, "If we leave it here for the night, we have to leave our contact information, lest the parking lot be flooded!" It turns out that people mean well. When I returned to the dock again, the trestles in many places were flooded.

Xingping ancient town is located on the east bank of the Lijiang River, where the Lijiang River turns around and goes away. There are not many ancient buildings in the ancient town, such as blue bricks and black tiles, horse head walls, cornices, painted buildings and carved windows, which have typical characteristics of residential buildings in northern Guangxi in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with a history of nearly 5 years. The ancient stage should be the best preserved building. You can still appreciate the charm of "long old streets and deep Gu Xiang" by touching the wall of many-hued. Drama is like life, and life is like drama. Looking at these "horns" who once had a good time, I don't know where to go now.

I stopped in front of Zhao's Silver Village for a long time. The store was filled with all kinds of silverware, both fashionable and classical, and there were many silver ingots at the door, called "drying money". The glistening silver was heavy in my hand. The proprietress greeted us warmly, even though she knew we wouldn't buy anything. The friendliness of the ancient town people is really fascinating.

Ho's beer fish is highly recommended by online celebrity store and the front desk girl. The store is located in the alley of the ancient town, and its style is very similar to that of the shop near Shuhe ancient city in Yunnan, some are trendy and some are unpretentious. The ingredients in this shop opened by the couple are all produced by themselves. There are both foreign tourists with various accents and many locals who come to eat in the store. The key is that the taste is really good.

If you play photography in Yangshuo, you will definitely lack height without the participation of drones, and you will definitely lose a lot of surprises. Of course, those who dare to fly here must be bold artists, otherwise they are likely to blow up the plane. After our drone flew over several mountains, the obstacle avoidance function of the body decreased, and it flew backwards. As a result, it crashed into the mountain from more than 1 meters.

according to the locator, Mr. Wang finally found it in a bamboo forest halfway up the mountain under the guidance of kind locals. The probability of getting the drone back in such a high mountain is actually quite low. It is no exaggeration to describe the mood at that time with ecstasy. After going down the mountain, this 6-year-old man was still polite to us and took him back to the hotel to withdraw money for a long time.

when I went upstairs to get money, the old man insisted on waiting outside the door for fear of polluting the hotel floor. The hotel owner kindly invited him into the house and handed him a cup of boiled ginger tea. The old man's shy smile made me feel that the people in Yangshuo were so warm.

It was careless of me to fall from the surprise I got back to the abyss I got back. When I learned that the memory card would never be found again, I was sitting alone in the doorway, my face was full of love, and it was really heartbreaking. Some mistakes really can't be made up!

"Exceptions" always surprise people in subtle ways. From 8: 3 pm to 9: 3 pm, you will receive a thoughtful greeting from the front desk, "We have prepared free good night syrup for you in the lobby, today's syrup (sweet potato balls and black bean jelly)". Food seems to be effective in curing the injured, especially chatting with people with stories and drinking tea can make people calm down. The hotel owner is a beautiful woman with great affinity. After chatting with her at breakfast, I found out that she didn't run a homestay for living or simply to make money. Just because she traveled to Xingping with friends, she fell in love with it and fell in love with the landscape.

It is often said that one side of the mountains and rivers nurtures the other side, and people in Xingping have forgotten both things and me because of the long-term cultivation of the mountains and rivers here. Their awe and love for the environment make the mountains and rivers here not only spiritual, but also human, and my husband and I are hopelessly in love with it.

1. If you choose to go to Xingping on weekends, it is recommended to take the high-speed train, which takes 3.5 hours to get there, and the hotel has a car transfer, which takes 15 minutes by car.

2. If you have plenty of time, you can choose to drive by car. It takes about 7.5 hours to drive from Changsha to Xingping, and the road conditions are not bad.

From mid-May to mid-June, Uncle Shui can take you to see fireflies, which is spectacular.

4. The scenery in Xingping has nothing to do with the weather. The sun is shining, there is a stunning sunrise in Xianggong Mountain, and the rain is the warmth of the Lijiang River.

5. If you want to shoot the mirror of the sky, you must pay attention to whether the hotel has the conditions when choosing a hotel.
