Travel Notes in the South 10 yuan Yangpian A
By the way, terraces are terraces. Yuanyang terraced fields have beautiful scenery and are famous all over the country. Yuanyang terraced fields are a paradise for photographers. Every spring, many photographers from all over the country and even around the world gather in Yuanyang to collect wind and shoot terraces.
An important project of this southern tour is to visit the terraced fields in Yuanyang County, which is adjacent to Jianshui.
In the last few days of February, we played Jianshui almost, and the weather gradually slowed down. Going to Yuanyang to see terraced fields is put on the agenda. Every spring is the day when Yuanyang terraces release water. Terraces without water have nothing to see. For example, the dry terraces in Taihang Mountain are also beautiful, but its landscape and shooting effect are hard to say how beautiful.
Jianshui is 0/60km away from Xinjie Town (where terraces are located)/kloc. How to get there is a problem. After several comparisons and judgments, I finally decided to take a long-distance bus, because Jianshui has a special long-distance bus to Xinjie Town, Yuanyang, which leaves at 9: 30 every morning and arrives around 2: 00 in the afternoon. It's no trouble.
This is the hotel where I stayed in Xinjie Town.
Before going to Xinjie Town, we made many choices and finally booked a homestay near the terraced fields online. It's agreed that each person will have room and board in 80 yuan every day, two simple meals and one dinner, and get off the bus to take care of rice noodles on the afternoon of arrival. It's 10 yuan again.
This is boss Li on the right.
This old Yi woman is the grandmother of the hotel owner. She is over 80 years old, energetic and amiable. She can embroider and walk the needle.
Yuanyang Terrace Scenic Area is very large, and there are several scenic spots and observation platforms around it, such as watching the sunset, watching the sunrise, watching the terraces and watching the sea of clouds. The scenic spots are connected in series like pearls. If there is no means of transportation and no guide, it is impossible. Therefore, in addition to creating a large number of hotels and restaurants, Xinjie Town has also produced a number of tour guides driving vans. Each van can seat six people, and the transportation fee of each van in 600 yuan every day ensures that you can run all the scenic spots. This line is really useful, really effective, otherwise you will be completely blind and can't see the real scenery. Our two cars were also arranged by the boss. Each car was booked at 400 yuan, which was 200 yuan cheaper than other cars. Driving is a Yi couple. The young couple are very enthusiastic, talkative and responsible. They sincerely showed us the scenery. Finally, we became good friends.
We arrived on the afternoon of 26th. After a short rest after eating rice noodles, we took a van to Hani Town, Bamei Terrace and Tiger Cliff to watch the sunset. The next day we went to Duoyi Tree to watch the sunrise, Malipo to watch the sea of clouds, and so on. Terraces, sea of clouds and sunrise are naturally beautiful.
Ladies and gentlemen, what I want to tell you is that traveling to Yuanyang is actually a gamble on luck to a great extent. The weather is very critical. If you are unlucky, it will be cloudy or foggy for several days, not to mention watching the sunrise and sunset, and you may not even see the terraces. Fortunately, we are very lucky. Besides going to the tiger's mouth to watch the sunset, the driver took us to the best scenic spot outside the scenic spot because the observation deck collapsed and closed. However, due to the strong water vapor in the sky and opaque light, the effect is almost the same. Other things are good weather and beautiful scenery.
We have seen everything we need to see.
Yuanyang star is perfect.
