People say that the Dongjiang Lake in Chenzhou, Hunan Province is beautiful in May. If you encounter the foggy Dongjiang River, you will definitely linger. We drove more than 500 kilometers, and we didn't encounter the foggy wonders of Dongjiang. Disappointed, we had to go straight to Longsheng, Guangxi, once again reflecting the arbitrariness and willfulness of traveling on the road.
It's past five o'clock in the afternoon in Longsheng, and I will live in the county tonight. The hotel in the county seat is good, so we chose a halfway up the mountain to stay. It was originally suggested to live in a scenic spot. I didn't plan to see the terraces on this trip, and I was not familiar with the environment. It's getting dark, so I still live in the county.
Dinner was in a Cantonese restaurant, and the food was very appetizing. I brought a bottle of wine to comfort myself. I'm not driving tonight anyway.
Walking back to the hotel after dinner, I didn't expect that this small county was not so eye-catching during the day, and the street environment was not much different from ordinary towns. At night, I changed my appearance, and the colorful world everywhere made me feel like a fiery red tree and a silver flower.
I'm already a little tired and a little drunk. When I saw the beautiful scenery at this time, I was exhausted. I saw colorful lights hanging on both sides of a river, and the two bridges were brighter. The oval bridge opening turned into a colorful circle of olives. Such as the bright moon, like colored balls, the breeze is blowing, and the river surface has the artistic conception of half river rustling and half river red. The distinctive tower by the river is the crowning touch of the whole county scenery. The four facades have different shapes, which are unforgettable scenery from any angle. The tower is just across the river from the bridge, and tourists are scrambling to take pictures. There are also two dragons on the roof, as if walking in the air, dubbing with the music of square dance and attending a large open-air concert. The whole county is full of lively atmosphere.
Bright lights, the whole county is a colorful world. It is unique here, and the famous Longji terraced field scenic spot is not far from here. Many tour groups, tourists will choose to spend the night here, and the next day they will go to terraces more than ten kilometers away. Living in a small town is convenient and safe because I am unfamiliar with the environment and worried that I can't book a room.
I came to Longsheng in the afternoon and didn't have much time to walk in the city. In a seemingly ordinary town, daytime doesn't interest me. My destination is to see the terraced fields. At night, in the colorful world, I found that the night here is beautiful. Standing on the bridge, I saw another bridge not far away, which was even more charming under the reflection of the lights. The bridge in the night has always been the most eye-catching place.
I didn't catch what it was called. It looks very distinctive. Look at its shape, like a castle and a crown. It is particularly eye-catching in a few high-rise buildings.
Dragon victory is inseparable from the dragon. I think this place name, which is associated with the dragon, should have its story. Unfortunately, I will go to Longji to see the terraces tomorrow morning, so I didn't ask the locals for more stories. Only the dragon on the roof is lifelike and stands out in the night sky.
The town was built by the river. The banks of the river are decorated with lights, and the buildings are reflected in the water, making this small town more exciting. A tourist city should fascinate people and make them stay. Looking at this river during the day, I don't know what kind of scene it will be.
Longsheng is also an ancient city with a long history. Known as Sangjiang in ancient times, Qin Shihuang was under the jurisdiction of Guilin County. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is still called Longsheng County, which belongs to Guilin area. 1956 12 was renamed "Longsheng Autonomous County of All Ethnic Groups", which is the first ethnic autonomous county established in central and southern China. I have no time to understand its history. What I see now is modern architecture. It's getting late, and I'm going to see the terraces tomorrow.
