Travel in Guilin on a misty and rainy month

Autumn is coming, the summer heat is fading away, the morning breeze is cool, and the mood of autumn is tender as water. Some thoughts that have been saved for a long time have been opened one after another, drifting away from the staring window lattice and flying farther and farther into the blue sky.

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic last year and the control of the big epidemic, I have been stuck at home and can't travel. When you are greedy, you can only watch online landscape videos and pictures. A few days ago, my classmates took beautiful photos of our last outing before the epidemic and sent them to them. When I crossed the beautiful scenery and left photos of our flight, my wandering thoughts fell on the unforgettable three-day tour of Guilin. ……

In the autumn of 20 19, because two female students from other places returned to Nanning, we discussed and organized a classmate outing together. After several discussions, the final destination is Guilin. After arriving in Guilin, Xiaoping, who lives in Guilin, is responsible for food, accommodation and transportation. 10 19 in the morning, eight female students from Nanning and Ms. Hui set off by train, while the lady got on the bus from Liuzhou and Ms. Xiaoping met us at Guilin Railway Station.

After more than three hours' drive, we arrived at Guilin East Station at eleven o'clock. When I walked out of the platform, I felt a chill, and it was raining in Mao Mao in the gray sky. God doesn't seem to give me much power.

"Noble people go out to attract wind and rain", "How many scenes are there in Guilin in misty rain". Everybody, say something, and I'll say something to cheer myself up. Suddenly I saw Xiaoping waving to us in the distance. I saw her wearing a simple black coat with a pair of white pencil pants and a pure blue scarf around her neck, which was elegant and fashionable. "Still so high-spirited, still so beautiful and moving", everyone can't help but admire.

After warm hugs, handshakes and greetings, we came to the car to meet. Xiaoping is very thoughtful. He rented a CMB with a dozen seats. Apart from the luggage, the eleven of us are still very comfortable. Food, shelter and transportation are the three elements of play. The "traffic" has been solved and everyone is very comfortable.

"First implement the first item and drink camellia oleifera." Drinking camellia oleifera is one of the purposes of our visit to Guilin. Xiaoping booked a restaurant. It's time to eat. We went straight to the restaurant by bus. When I arrived at the restaurant I booked, it was crowded. The boss said I had to wait for a table. As for how long we waited, it's hard to answer. Time is tight, stop, and we'll change places right away. There is a restaurant across the street called "Guo Sao Tea Flower Shop". The specialty of this restaurant is camellia oleifera, and other foods are also good. Good quality and low price, diverse dishes and fresh ingredients. The key is that Camellia oleifera tastes delicious and pure, and it can be supplied in unlimited quantities. We were already hungry, so we sat down and ate and drank, and everyone was hearty.

We need to introduce "Camellia oleifera" here to understand why drinking Camellia oleifera is listed as one of our itinerary items. Camellia oleifera is a traditional drink in northern and central Guangxi. It is made from a local wild old leaf black tea, which is fried in oil until it is slightly burnt and fragrant. Then add ginger, onion and garlic, mash them together, add water to boil, and simmer slowly until it is astringent and mellow. You can drink it while cooking, and the more you cook, the more fragrant it will be. Fish, meat and other meat materials can also be added. Put it in a bowl, add fried peanuts, popcorn, chopped green onion and salt, and serve. Camellia oleifera is delicious, with the fragrance of tea, the slight spicy taste of ginger and the sweetness of meat. With special snacks, it is a good meal. In addition, Camellia oleifera also has the effects of refreshing the stomach, promoting digestion, eliminating cold and dampness, strengthening the heart and relieving spasm, protecting health and resisting cancer, expelling toxin and caring skin, clearing the intestines and reducing weight, and prolonging life. Delicious in taste and unique in efficacy, it is deeply loved by the public and is an indispensable drink for breakfast in northern Guangxi.

After lunch, we set off for our next destination-Xianggong Mountain. Xianggong Mountain, located in Xingping Town, Yangshuo, is named after its shape like a hat worn by an ancient "xianggong". It takes about one and a half hours to drive from Guilin to Xianggong Mountain. On the way, everyone didn't feel sleepy at all after lunch, perhaps it was the role of camellia oleifera, and more was the excitement of reunion after a long separation. Laughter and laughter all the way, the joyful atmosphere overflowed the carriage, floated outside the car, and merged with nature, as if it had merged into a source of happiness, nourishing every young heart.

Xianggong Mountain has arrived. At first glance, the mountain is beautiful and slightly steep, and there are stone steps around it. Armed with simple equipment, we began to climb the stone steps. The mist fills the air all the way, accompanied by green trees, and there is no artistic conception. Although a little breathless, I still don't forget to take pictures of the beautiful scenery around me. Stop-and-go, more than half an hour finally reached the top of the mountain.

There are four observation platforms on the mountain, and we climbed to the top with all our strength. Looking around, it is lush and full of vitality; Overlooking from the railing, there are many peaks, high or low, arranged in order, showing their elegance in the dense; Overlooking the mountain, a river and green water meander around the mountain, like a graceful green belt, drifting into the distance. Such a beautiful scenery makes people admire and cheer. Everyone is rushing to take pictures, taking pictures. The last few female companions just danced and posed, and Miss Hui became our full-time photographer.

It was getting late, and we reluctantly went down the mountain and set off for the second destination-Yangshuo West Street. Maybe it's because I'm tired of climbing the mountain, and I'm running out of lunch. Everyone needs some nutrition. Warm-hearted Xiaoping has prepared all kinds of snacks and fruits in the car, which is really careful.

In the evening, we arrived at Yangshuo West Street, and first had dinner at the reserved "Xie Dajie Beer Fish" restaurant. I tasted the signature dish "beer fish", which was authentic, sour and spicy. I still want to finish eating, so I want to meet again. After dinner, we put down our luggage at the inn, and we immediately went to West Street to see the night scene.

At night, the West Street is bustling, crowded, with signs hanging all over the street, neon flashing, colorful and shouting one after another. We walked from the street to the end of the street and occasionally went into the store to have a look, but basically we didn't see anything satisfactory. Finally, our photographer helped us take some street photos to satisfy our desire to visit here.

Because Camellia oleifera drank too much, I didn't feel sleepy at night, and basically didn't sleep all night. The next morning, the students were already posing on the rooftop of the inn. The rooftop can have a panoramic view of West Street and a close view of distant mountains. It's really a good bird's eye view of the mountain city. It is said that people have three manifestations: first, they are crazy in front of their classmates; One is perfect in front of lovers; A person is very fragile when he is alone. When classmates are together, they should let go of themselves. In the photographer's lens, there are countless gestures and expressions. Laughing and teasing, she doesn't mind, I don't blame, because we are classmates!

After breakfast, we rushed to the third destination-Hua Ting in Longsheng Longji. Because I took a picture by the Lijiang River on the way, it was already evening when I went to Longji, and the terraced fields were shrouded in night fog and faintly visible. Check into the reserved farmhouse and order immediately. Dinner is a farm dish, with local chicken hot pot as the main dish and fragrant Zhuangjiami wine. It is very distinctive, and it is a full meal. I forgot all about losing weight.

This is my second visit to Longsheng Longji. Longsheng Terrace has a relatively large area, which is divided into three parts: Jinkeng Dazhai Yao Hong Terrace Scenic Area, Pinganzhuang Terrace Scenic Area and Longji Guzhuangzhai Terrace Scenic Area. Longshengtai was founded in the Yuan Dynasty, which has been more than 600 years. Ancestors built terraces and cultivated land on the mountains with a vertical drop of more than 800 meters, initially just to survive. Recyclers can't imagine that hundreds of years later, this land with countless sweats has turned into a beautiful landscape because of the shocking curve of flow, attracting many tourists to watch.

The environment in the mountains is particularly hypnotic, and I sleep until dawn. Pushing open the window, it is raining outside, and thick clouds and terraces are looming. Is it out of touch with terraces this time?

I had rice noodles, eggs and pancakes for breakfast, which was cheap and delicious. After breakfast, the rain gradually subsided, so we decided to go out and see the scenery. Put on the rain boots provided by the innkeeper and start with an umbrella. Walking through the bluestone path, bypassing the diaojiao building of the farmer, I walked onto the observation deck in ten minutes. At this time, the clouds gradually thinned, and the sun shyly showed half of its face. Looking from the railing, the terraces are sometimes clearly visible and sometimes hazy, like a shy bride mysterious and beautiful; The golden rice waves spread round and round in the distance, like undulating ripples, smooth and smart. Its shape is like running water, and it is magnificent. We were shocked by the picturesque scenery, and we were all intoxicated by it, which is beyond words. I couldn't help waving my scarf and dancing in the misty clouds, which released my rippling experience. This scene was captured by our photographer.

Back home, we are reluctant to part and meet again. These are three happy days. We removed all kinds of roles and returned to the id. It seems that all the girls are possessed, forget their age, lose their shyness and immerse themselves in the realm of selflessness.

Thank you, Xiaoping, our photographer and our colleagues. It's good to have you!
