Travel Notes on May Day (flying over Huangdi Mausoleum and Hukou Waterfall in Yan 'an)

Yan 'an is the holy land of revolution, where countless people with lofty ideals once gathered, and the proletarian revolution of the older generation struggled here, which is of milestone significance to the establishment of new China. It is a good patriotic education activity to take children to understand that period of history. In addition, the number of people going to the northwest during May Day is relatively small. This is our original intention of choosing to fly over Yan 'an route.

In the morning, we get up at five. My son was better in the third grade and woke up with a cry, but my daughter was a little effeminate and cried when she got up, but fortunately we packed up and went to the restaurant below at 5: 30. The breakfast in the restaurant is quite rich, and the combination of Chinese and western also has local characteristics. Children are more interested in bread, butter and cheese, while we adults choose millet porridge and butter tea. However, this independent breakfast, if put there, will definitely be thrown away as garbage. Unfortunately, I put the unfinished steamed bread and some peanuts in my bag, and my husband looked at me disdainfully. There is no shame in despising the actions of the CD.

We arrived at the bus at 6: 30 as agreed by the tour guide, but there were only a few people on the bus. The children feel very novel sitting on the tourist bus, and more and more people touch it. As time goes by, people complain more and more loudly, condemning unpunctual people and wasting everyone's time. After the last couple got on the bus, the tour guide called the roll for the last time and we set off for the Loess Plateau. The tour guide introduced himself first. The tour guide, surnamed Bao, is not too tall. He looks like an honest young man. Bao Dao first introduced us to the topography of Yan 'an, the revolutionary holy land, and the customs of the people in northern Shaanxi, especially imitating the pronunciation of boys and girls in xi 'an and northern Shaanxi, which made the car full of people laugh. He also told us that his grandfather was also a revolutionary soldier and retired to the local area because of an abdominal injury. He is very grateful to everyone for choosing the northwest route, so that the revolutionary spirit can be passed on. He also briefly informed us of today's itinerary, having lunch first, the first stop to visit Huangdi Mausoleum and Xuanyuan Temple, and the second stop to visit Hukou Waterfall. He reminded us that Yan 'an is a place short of water and the water quality is not very good. We can buy some bottles of mineral water in the service area for emergency. He also kindly reminded the barbecue in the scenic spot to think twice before eating and try not to eat. He used to suffer from it. After that, he asked us to have a rest, or we could look at the scenery outside. He will tell us in advance when he arrives.

The car quieted down and the children fell asleep. At first, you can see tall buildings outside. Later, the lower the floor, the last to see the mountain. When we passed through the tunnel, the higher the mountain, the sudden tinnitus in our ears, which was very uncomfortable. It should be altitude sickness. The loess high slope outside is not what the song sings. There are trees everywhere, and they are lush. Later, I heard from the tour guide that the country invests a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources in afforestation every year. It was all planted by plane. It took ten years to get here. Along the way, tunnels were opened between mountains, and bridges were built between water. We drove on the flat highway, enjoying the natural beauty outside the window, sighing the rapid development of infrastructure in China, and seeing many caves along the way, imagining the scene of people living in caves. Someone had to go to the toilet on the way and the car stopped several times. After going down, we bought several bottles of water to carry, and the children bought several bags of snacks by the way. The prices of goods in the service area are really cheap, less than 50 cents more expensive than those in our hometown. Actually, it doesn't matter if it's expensive at all. We are willing to make modest contributions to the economy of the old areas.

After arriving at the destination, the tour guide took us to Fan Dian. Because it was an old area and a group meal, everyone seemed to have come prepared, but the buns in northern Shaanxi were really delicious, white and sweet, and I ate several. After dinner, we got together to visit the Huangdi Mausoleum. At this time, it began to rain outside. Fortunately, we brought an umbrella and a disposable raincoat, which was enough to cope with the light rain. On the way to the scenic spot, there were shouts of selling umbrellas 15 yuan and buying rain boots and rain gear. Ask Mr. Wang for advice. We have enough for the time being and don't need to buy it. We followed the guide and went on.

At the entrance of the Huangdi Mausoleum, there are many stones, which are said to have been brought from the Qinling Mountains. There seems to be 999 yuan. The ancients paid attention to the Ninth Five-Year Plan. The Huangdi Mausoleum is magnificent. There is a cypress king in it, which is very tall, thick and vicissitudes. The footprints of the Yellow Emperor are big and wide, and there are places to watch around. Continue to go inside, and from a distance, it is Xuanyuan Temple, where many people worship and pray. Further inside, there are buildings in Tianyuan, surrounded by sculptures, which are very spacious. Everyone took photos there as a souvenir, and the girl cooperated very much. Someone there brought a big national flag, and a bright five-star red flag fluttered in the wind in the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor. The picture is also quite harmonious.

It's raining harder and harder outside. See the time stipulated by the tour guide. We have to go back. Outside, my son found a big clock, which is very big. He saw others standing there and climbed up himself. He put his head in for a tripod position and got hit in the head. My sister also came to imitate, but Mr. Wang decisively stopped it. We looked around, came out of the exit and went back the same way. We met the place where we just bought an umbrella. At this time, the price has increased. We specially watched the weather forecast. There was no heavy rain. My husband and his daughter are wearing raincoats. My son and I carried on with an umbrella. I can walk, my back is soaked. Whether the price rises or not, I bought a blue rain coat for my son. A button was torn in panic, and it was just right, and my daughter wouldn't complain if I bought it for my brother. Just at the door of eating, there were only a few cars when we started. There are ten cars now. There was only a little water on the road when we set out, and now it is flooded. I'm glad that we have arrived at the bus.

When we arrived at the bus, some of our shoes were soaked, and some of our clothes were soaked. I quickly changed a pair of socks for my daughter. I suddenly felt cold and fell asleep. When I woke up, the bus was very quiet, so everyone was tired. However, the pace of travel did not stop, and we set off towards a target account.

On the way to Hukou, we passed Luochuan, and the tour guide told us that in the hard years before, we were faced with various economic blockades. The tenacious fighting spirit of the producers is admirable, but we also remember that Luochuan is rich in apples, so we must buy some and taste them when we leave.

When I arrived at the scenic spot, the navigation warned that there was a traffic jam ahead, but fortunately I waited for more than 20 minutes. At the scenic spot, we got off the tourist bus. The tour guide said that if you go to the movies, you don't have to wait in line to take the scenic bus, just get on the bus. Think about it, it's all here anyway, and it's not too expensive. Just look at it. It's quite instructive without thinking. How the water of the Yellow River moves out of the sky tells the story of the birthplace of the Yellow River, which flows over the ground, and the Hukou Waterfall that we are going to see today, which depicts the harmony between man and nature. The scene is very shocking and has a strong sense of picture, which is worth seeing, especially for children. After watching the movie, we walked through a hall and got on the bus directly. More than 50 people in our group are sitting in a car. When we arrived at our destination, everyone got off the bus in a hurry. My daughter and I were sitting in the last row and found a disposable raincoat on the ground. After waiting for a long time, no one came to look for it. I put it on my daughter, and there is a big hole in the front and back. It should be broken and no one wants it, but my daughter is small and the front and back are just right.

The rain is still heavy, and we are all excited to see a small waterfall. We followed the sound of the waves, but the road was too muddy. My daughter's shoes are muddy and she doesn't want to go. She was coaxed for a long time before moving on. Watching the rushing Yellow River water pour down from the floor, I couldn't help singing the melody of the Yellow River chorus. The Yellow River roared and roared, and Malik galloped, making people's blood spurt.

We look at the Yellow River, and people on the other side of the river look at the Yellow River. Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces are separated by the Yellow River on the same day. No wonder people sing that big rivers have wide waves and the wind blows rice and flowers on both sides. We look at the Yellow River from different angles, which may be the reason for the rain. The river rises, the waterfalls are spectacular and shocking, and the fast-flowing places are surrounded by barbed wire. Because there were too many people, my husband went to see his son from time to time, but his son ignored the fact that his shoes were soaked, and put his foot into the Yellow River to mix with the sediment in the Yellow River. When Mr. Wang went to call his son, his fur coat was scratched by barbed wire, sir. After all, I brought a skirt. After all, it's expensive, but it doesn't help to see my son's safety blame. Let's take more photos by the Yellow River in the messy rain. As a result, we took pictures like beggars, because the disposable raincoat was weak and broken, because the wind blew our hair in a mess, and we posed in various positions, which really looked like mental derangement, but we were all very happy.

After watching Hukou Waterfall, we had a group meal in a hurry and prepared to go to the hotel to have a rest. But the hotel is too far away, and it takes two or three hours by car. The bus was quiet all the way, and everyone was tired at the end of the day. When we arrived at our destination, it was already past ten. It's not worse than my previous stay for a week and a half, but don't ask so much. A bed is enough.

My shoes are ok and a little wet, but my socks stink. My daughter brought two pairs of shoes, which will be ready tomorrow. Mr. Wang overcame them and left him alone, but his son's shoes were soaked and he couldn't find a hair dryer after searching for a long time. They are all lying motionless in bed, and I can't stand preparing to take a shower and wash my hair. It was very comfortable after washing, but the alarm in the caviar kept ringing as soon as it came out. It's terrible in the wild mountains. I rushed to the front desk to find the boss. As soon as the boss entered the room, he said, there must be someone smoking in your house. Without me, my husband wouldn't smoke at all, and neither would I. The alarm kept ringing, and the boss climbed up with a clean stool and pulled him down, and finally it was quiet. Later, it was analyzed that my socks were too smelly. After taking a shower and opening the door, the hot air rushed out and blew the smell on it, and the alarm rang. The whole family laughed, and the son was defined as the smelly socks incident, and everyone fell asleep laughing.
