• A trip in Qinghuangdao Isalnd A trip in Qinghuangdao Isalnd

  • From: x123456
  • Description:

    I was planning to go to Qinghuangdao Island located in the northeast of Heibei Province in China. I took a train from Beidai River to Shanhaiguan, a scenic area in Qinghuangdao City which has some parts of the features of ancient Great wall, after I bought a train ticket in Beijing at 9 o’ clock in the morning. At the Liuzhuang Village, I took the bus number 34 to the Coastal Bus Station, where there are buses number 22 and number 5 going to the train station of Beidai River. I got off from the number 34 bus and then a few minutes later comes the bus number 22. I just got on the bus without studying any difference of the routes between the bus the number 5 and the bus number 22. However, I was told that there are 8 more bus stops if I take the bus number 22 rather than the number 5 bus to the train station. Having compared the bus route of the bus number 22 with that of the bus number 5 on the map, I was a little worried about whether I have enough time to get to Shanhaiguan, since I thought that it would take 1 hour for the bus number 22 to pass 27 bus stops. However, it took only half hour. In the waiting room, I waited for 40 minutes, during which I got a little hungry and got some food to eat. Half hour later, I arrived at the shanhaiguan train station by bullet train. Out of the exit, I saw there was a bus stop opposite. I took the bus number 25 to Laolongkou bus stop and I got off there. Across a crossroad, I came to a scenic area called Laolongkou. Beside the road, there is a garden where people were taking photos. Since it’s much earlier than I had thought, I went to a small restaurant and ordered a pancake with smoked meat in it and a cool noodles to eat. It spent me 25 Yuan in total. The food there was ok. I was not going to buy tickets to visit parks, but was just walking around, hoping that I would find a way to the sea. On the map, I found the way at the south of the crossroad. I was walking along the road and went through a defensive wall. After a few minutes, a beach came into my sight. There, the locals run the business like riding horses on the beach. I felt the sand is very soft somewhere on the beach, as I walked down to the beach covered with sundried seaweeds as well as some pebbles. As I kept walking to the south of the beach, I came to the scenic area Laolongtou Defensive Wall, but I didn’t go inside. Instead I walked to a rock near the sea, on which there are a lot of sea snails and shells. I sat down on the one sea waves could not impact on, just to have a good look at the sea before I left Qianghangdao Island. A yacht went by me at a quick speed, with white waves behind. At further distance, different-sized ships were sailing on the sea, with the sunlight shinning on it.

                               

    When I passed by the train station nearby by bus number 21, I saw very high defensive walls and gate buildings. Since I stayed in Xian for 7 years, they are very familiar to me when I saw them. Getting off at the yingwen bus stop, I planned to have lunch, but the restaurant I went to had been pulled down. Therefore, I had to go shopping with an empty stomach. Going through the city gate of Yingenmen, I saw the West Street where shops are all designed very traditionally with woods. At the end of the street, there is a tourist attraction that is visited each by people from around the world. A friend of mine took a picture of me in front of an ancient building and the trip was almost over. Having looked at time, I found that there was much more time left for me to walk around, than I had thought before, so I just took my time to do it. Every few minute, I could see simple retail shops which have no fence, with a broad at the door on which its retailed goods are written in white chalk. As time went by, it’s dinner time.

     

    The trip in Qinghuangdai Island ended at 8 pm with my having dinner at a restaurant with a good view.

• Yaoli Ancient Town in Jiangxi Yaoli Ancient Town in Jiangxi Province

  • From: x123456
  • Description:

    Located in the northeast of the Jingdezhen Ancient Town in Jiangxi Province, Yaoli which is well-known for porcelains is a tourist attraction with national AAAAA level , a national forest park, a famous ancient town, and also a historical and cultural protection site, covering an area of 195 square kilometers. The climate is very pleasant in four seasons in the scenic area where there are more than 94 percent of dense forests, and more than 180 kinds of rare animals and plants, such as maidenhair trees, Chinese torreya trees, leopards, giant salamanders and so on..

     

    In the early morning in winter, it’s very freezing. One day, one idea came across my mind that I would like to experience a primitive life and folk customs by leaving the busy city for a small ancient town in Jiangxi Province. Having lived in the city for a long time, sometimes I just want to leave there for some time and give myself a holiday. In an ancient town in Jiangxi, there are many beautiful landscapes.

     

    Perhaps, few of people know about the ancient town Yaoli, but most of them heard about Jaingnan. If someone wants to find a quiet and beautiful ancient town to visit, actually it’s not difficult so long as you look for it hard. The ancient town Yaoli is the one you may look for.      

     

    In my mind, Yaoli is a name full of dreams for me and also a place mysterious I look forwards to visiting.

     

    From what I know about why it’s mysterious, it lies at the fact that the ancient town Yaoli is a very tranquil place with a very long history, where buildings are those built in Ming and Qing Dynasties and also there is a river called Yao River, which is a water source of the town.     

     

    For the ancient town, it has a lot of history stories. While walking in the gallery of a building of Ming and Qing Dynasties at the banks of Yao River, I felt a wind was coming to me, with overhanging eaves, ancient walls, black tiles, and mountains around me reflected on the river, as if I had traveled back to the past of thousand years ago.

     

    In the early morning, the sun is shinning on the town. Listening to streams and standing on a single-plank bridge, I was watching women were washing clothes at the river and heard music coming from those ancient houses from time to time. It’s just like an idyllic scene.

    Lijiang city the altitude of which is 2418 meters is one of the four well-preserved ancient cities across the country, where there are 12 ethnic groups, such as the Naxi nationality, the Yi nationality, and so on. What’s more, it has the most beautiful landscapes in the world.

     

    It’s 76 kilometers away from Ninglang County to Lugu Lake in Yunnan Province. Lugu Lake is one of the highest plateau lakes in Yunnan Province in altitude. It’s normally 40 meters deep, but 73.2 meters deeper somewhere beneath, after Fuxian Lake. Lugu Lake which is narrow in the east and west but broad in the north and south looks like a trapezoid. The water is very clean.

     

    In the east part of the lake, there is a mountain ridge that stretches down to the middle of the lake and also looks like a dragon dinking water there, so on the lake thus forms a peninsula that divides the whole lake into two parts.  

     

    On the Lugu Lake, there are actually 5 small islands all together, including 3 in Yunnan Province and 2 in Sichuan Province. They look like small green boats floating over the lake and also differ from one another. The smaller island among them is the Lige Island near the north of the lake where the ground is flat and houses which are built with wood face towards the lake, with beautiful landscapes around. Located in the middle of the lake, the Tusi Island which is narrow in the east and west but broad in the north and south is 700 meters long and 36 meters high. It was used for leisure and entertainment but since the buildings on the island were all gone, there has been a ruin. The Liwubi Island which is far from the Tusi Island for 3 kilometers is 450 meters long, 200 meters wide, and 43.4 meters high. On the island, there is a very dense forest in the southwest , hillsides in the northeast and also a beach nearby. In addition, a small village is located in the north of the Lugu Lake, surrounded by mountains.

     

    The Wanggu Tower is a symbolic ancient building in Lijiang. It’s a tower building with double eaves on the roof, supported by 16 pillars that are 22 meters long, and it’s 33 meters high. If you would like to visit the Wanggu Tower, you can climb over the Lion Mountain in the Sifang Street and it takes 30 minutes to get there. Actually as you climb the mountain, you can also enjoy scenery. Standing on the Wanggu Tower, you are able to overlook the beautiful Yulong Mountain, villages, new towns, Lijiang Dam, an immense forest, and so on in Lijiang.

• The Vietnam hidden charm The Vietnam hidden charm

  • From: vnts01
  • Description:

    Have you heard and seen Ma Pi Leng Pass?

    

    Ma Pi Leng Pass, located between Meo Vac Commune and Dong Van plateau in Ha Giang province. It is a 15-kilometer canyon road above the Nho Que River, which weaves its way like a silver ribbon through limestone ravines. It is also named Cong Troi (Heaven's Gate), is the best place for tourists to enjoy a panoramic view of the valley below, particularly on a late afternoon when you can see a beautiful sunset overlooking the river, so this is the best way to travel to Vietnam and experience the minority.

    
    

    Ma Pi Leng is at the height of nearly 2,000m above sea level. The construction of Ma Pi Leng (which takes the form of a crouching horse) began in the 1960’s, and was said to be done almost entirely by the H’mong people. In the beginning, to accomplish their tasks, construction workers had to carry explosives and move along the sides of the mountain by securing themselves to ropes. The earliest passes were wide enough only for horses pulling carriages and people to walk through. It wasn’t until much later that the authorities allowed the widening of  these passes.

    
    
    

    Just a few years ago, the paths at Ma Pi Leng were extremely bumpy and riddled with stones. They were also not wide enough for two cars traveling in opposite directions. Looking toward the north and northeast, thousands of gray, rocky mountains form layers along the horizon. Right beside the road are deep valleys, at the bottom of which lies the Nho Que River, where cool water flows peacefully. On the mountain pass in Meo Vac, trees are scattered; along with stones, which have been lonely through years and centuries. Mong aborigines are in favor of living in mountain tops, or at least along the sides of the mountains. They absolutely refuse to move to the plain. Neighbors take a half of day to walk from this mountain to other to visit each other.

    Traveling to Ma Pi Leng, by motorcycle is the best Vietnam tours which tourist prefer. It not only gives you a meaning-full experience but also convenient to help you discovery all beautiful culture in Ha Giang destination.

• Kanchenjunga Trek Kanchenjunga Trek

  • From: explorehimalaya
  • Description:

    Kanchenjunga, derived from the Tibetan word ‘Kanchen’ &' Dzonga’ meaning ‘Five Treasures of the Great Snow’, has five peaks, including the third highest peak in the world at 8586m. Because of its remote location the trails that lead to the foothills of these mighty mountains has remained largely unexplored. The trekking trails skirt the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area which covers an area of 2035 sq. km. in Taplejung district, in the northeast corner of Nepal. The conservation area has a unique mountain ecosystem. Tucked within these hidden valleys, one can encounter rich forests that support more than 250 species of birds and endangered wildlife, including snow leopards and red pandas. A few days of walking will lead you to high elevation pastures where yaks graze languidly and colorful alpine flowers bloom. Trekking in this remote area, you encounter a mixture of ethnicities that continue to practice traditional subsistence lifestyles, their cultural and religious practices adding to the area's ricjh cultural heritage. Because of its remote location in Nepal and difficult access from India, the Kangchenjunga region is not much explored by trekkers. It has, therefore, retained much of its pristine beauty.
