“I lay down and used a newspaper as a pillow. High above me were twinkling stars, and as the train curved, the constellations arced up and down. Looking at them, I Asleep.” Jack London’s words are probably the lodging experience that many travelers dream of or experience, and every stop on the road is another scenery.
I read Gao Xiaosheng’s “Chen Huansheng Going to the City” when I was in middle school. In one part, Chen Huansheng lived in a hotel in the city and was forced to spend five yuan. There is ridicule that it is easy to get spiritual satisfaction, but it is not difficult to want to have a spiritual satisfaction after an accommodation experience during the journey.
I often lament the vastness of the motherland, various climate types, topography and landforms, which breed different landscapes, lifestyles, and folk customs in different environments. It is worthwhile to experience the real life of local people as a guest from afar, even if there is no I ran into the excitement of the Longmen Inn in the desert, and I also wanted to fill my luggage with stories and new wine.
Gannan Qiang flute no longer complains about willows
Cangyang Gyatso once said that in Gannan, “this Buddha-shining plateau is a paradise in three steps and two steps.” Indeed, located on the northern half slope of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture is like an independent elf, quietly guarding this place. Fang Tranquility made every outsider feel awe in amazement.
Gannan Prefecture covers an area of tens of millions of grasslands, retaining the original Tibetan nomadic ecology. When you come to Gannan, in addition to walking into Zhayana, admiring the tranquility and beauty of Tibetan villages, going to Labrang Monastery to experience Tibetan Buddhist culture, you must also go deep into the Gannan grasslands and experience the life of local herdsmen. The way the grassland greets you may be simple, but unique and real, that is the herdsman’s own tent. Follow the horse team to the depths of the grassland where the herdsmen live. There are only simple living arrangements in the tent, and they sit on the ground around a small stove with water burning. wide. Waking up on the grassland full of sheep and yaks, the hostess has already started a busy day, drying cow dung, shearing sheep, milking cows, and borrowing two fast horses to gallop to see the sea of flowers. The life experience of herdsmen is still the promise of Gannan.
Opportunities to live in tents with herdsmen are rare, but there is another custom that can be found on this grassland. The Noordan camp at an altitude of 3,200 meters is hidden deep in this nomadic area. There are four winding riversides. Nomadic tents and seven traditional log cabins made of hand-spun and hand-woven yak fibers, all furnished with custom-made Tibetan furniture, polished wooden floors, and high-quality European bedding, accented with local antiques and yak felt rugs , just like a luxurious version of herdsman tent experience. On cooler nights, the traditional Tibetan wood stove in the house can start to provide warmth, and other sustainable insulation measures include a water heating system that can be adjusted according to the environment, advanced insulation design, and solar power generation devices in the cabin . Reading a book about Tibetan areas or traditional culture by the old-fashioned fire, watching the stars in the sky around the bonfire at night, listening to the flowing river, birds, beasts and insects, can’t help but remind people that this is Li Lewei’s “My Castle in the Air” The phrase ” No need to hang a picture, there is a huge painting outside the door – named nature ” .
Tibet: Mountains, Waters, and Buddhist Pagodas
The sun on the east side of Mount Gangdise moved across its pyramid-shaped elliptical boundary line, and met the Tibetan grandma who turned around the mountain . On the other side of the mountain, on the Sichuan-Tibet line hundreds of kilometers away, the market-like Sichuan Tibetan cyclists and long-prostrating Buddhists mirror each other in the uninhabited mountainous area, and the river hides left and right among the cattle. This plateau is still quiet and open, and it is still as busy as a river.
As a Tibetan area, Tibet is too eye-catching. Many people set off on the pilgrimage road before they figured out why. This holy land is like a clear stream, untouched, and the Tibetans here also retain The traditional way of life, there are visitors from afar, their houses are ” hotels ” that you can stay at any time , but they will not change them into commercial homestays for you, they are still the furnishings of Tibetan living habits, and the rooms are filled with buttered tea and Tibetan incense. Taste, grandma will stew broth on a small stove, although it may not meet your taste, but it is enough to reflect their enthusiasm; there is no water source available at any time, grandma does not know where to get the water to boil , help you wash from your head; the toilet here is also hard to find, you can only solve it in a dark corner; there are donkey friends riding wind and rain in Datong shop, there are also businessmen who come here to undertake construction, and tourists from afar on the road Talk about your own story.
In Lhasa, traditional Tibetan old-style houses are rare , but many homestays are designed according to the Tibetan-style exclusive small courtyard . Pure Tibetan-style stone houses, the outer walls outline the oldest Tibetan patterns, and the interiors are brand-new. With ancient hand-painted exquisite murals, most of the roofs are piled with dry firewood, and some flowers and plants are planted in the yard. Usually there is a Tibetan-style bed with patterned lining inside. You can sit on it during the day and chat and drink tea. At night, you can take the backrest and spread the mattress on it . The experience is not just a private house or a single courtyard, but the unique Tibetan culture contained in it.
Xinjiang Grape Wine Luminous Cup
In summer, the glaciers in the Ili River Valley melt, the dense coniferous forests in the Gongnais Forest Farm are lush, the apricot blossoms and lavender in the south of the Yangtze River are gradually blooming, and the cattle and sheep on the summer pastures have started the season of fattening. Xinjiang welcomes it with the most beautiful and hot attitude its guests. The encounter with Xinjiang is not to challenge the aloofness of the source of civilization, but to look back and smile like meeting a Xinjiang girl.
When you come to Xinjiang and want to appreciate the customs of the Kazak people, you must experience the accommodation in Datongpu, a yurt. The Kazakh people, who are mainly nomadic, migrate by water and grass. They usually live in a kind of easy-to-support and disassembled house in spring, summer and autumn. yurt. The skeleton made of red willow, the wall and fence made of achnatherum splendens, and covered with felt, can be built into a simple and light felt room in one or two hours. The seemingly simple interior is not sloppy . They are all finely woven with colored woolen yarns according to certain patterns, and are full of national artistic characteristics. The Kazakh people are warm and hospitable. When you meet a yurt, you can discuss how to stay . On the other side , more than a dozen people sleep together at night. Although they can’t take a bath, they seem to be closer to each other. Shijiu is probably living such a reckless life while he is in his prime.
Earlier in the third season of the variety show “Where Are We Going, Dad”, I visited the Flame Mountain in Turpan and lived in the local Uyghur family. The kiln house made of traditional yellow clay is similar to the Flame Mountain, but the courtyard is full of grape trellises. It’s cool and quiet outside. The temperature in Huoyan Mountain is extremely high and no grass grows, but the nearby valleys are shaded by grapes. In the hot summer, the Uyghur villagers set up a tent under the vines in the courtyard, set up a big table, prepared sweet melons and fruits and local delicacies, and a group of people played TV. Fan sat around on the bench after eating, lay down under the vines and enjoyed the beautiful scenery, and slept until the early morning of the next day. Although the indoor configuration and environment are better, most people will choose to sleep outside under the vines, which is cool and comfortable on a hot summer night.
The sky is wide and the snow is long in the Northeast, who will sail together
In the cold winter season, I always feel that the cracked earth, glaciers, and cold wind in Xiao Hong’s works are what winter should look like. The wind, frost, rain, and snow of the Hulan River are roughly the four seasons in the entire Northeast. The label here is also because of its unique charm.
The coldness in the Northeast does not keep people out. Harbin has a variety of customs, Daxinganling is mysterious and cold, and Changbai Mountain’s Tianchi forest has already jumped out of books and film and television dramas. Even visitors from the south can know a little or two, and experience the abnormal In the cold and snowstorm, I thought that I could sleep on the kang of my hometown, which is the taste of the Northeast, and it is also the best choice for a quick recovery. A friend went to the sparsely populated Daxing’an Mountains to sketch, and drove for a long time back and forth to find a home for a fellow villager. The walls were still covered with newspapers, and the quilts were big flowers. The furnishings were a bit old, but they were clean and tidy . Overshadowing everything else, the fellow cooks potatoes and stews in a big iron pot, and the temperature in the house gradually spreads.
Because of the effects of variety shows and movies, many people now go to the Northeast to go to the snowy village. The village under the snow stacks is full of smoke, and the tourists in the New Year season make the village lively. The small houses in the snow are full. In the main scenic area of Xuexiang National Forest Park, there is a caravan hotel. The caravan is equipped with a complete heating system and luxurious interior decoration. It is as comfortable and warm as a hotel house. There are also activities such as snow music festivals and outdoor adventures . The illusion of accommodation in a motorhome in the snow The vehicle stuck in the snow halfway, simply stopped and admired, isn’t the quiet snowy night just like the painting by an oil painter with the empty wheel marks.
In fact, our ideal scenery can never be reached, but we can often get surprises beyond our ideals. Every stop during the trip is to experience the real local culture. The unique accommodation experience in those unique environments is definitely for you A stroke to mark the end of a complete journey.
