I got up early in the morning and went straight to the airport after washing up. The road is not yet light, the car is very little, the intersection of the traffic lights stand dutifully, on time to change their different roles. About forty minutes to the airport, travelers and send off friends and relatives on the more, Xianyang International Airport T2 terminal in front of the traffic, the crowd.
Into the building, more lively, packing luggage, check-in passes, queuing up for the security check ...... seems chaotic but everything is in order. We are a family of four, the formalities are also very smooth, print boarding pass, checked baggage, security checks, waiting for the ferry boarding.
The moment the plane crossed the clouds, I was excited, it won't be long, I will set foot on the magical vast black land, although this is the second time, although the last time I set foot on the Northeast Plains just less than five months ago, but I am still excited. To this hot land of the origin of my college life, where there are my dear classmates, graduated more than twenty years, some have seen a few times, some are never met again. From the youthful teenager to the person who has been mixed with gray hair to the middle age, the past is blurred and clear ......
The flight stops at Shijiazhuang on the way, and the radio informs all the travelers to get off the plane for a short rest.
After a slight bump in the road, the plane entered a stable flight state, the weather is clear, 10,000 meters high overlooking the earth, mountains and rivers at a glance. The further north you fly, the brighter it gets, you can't see the mountains anymore, the fields at your feet are strewn with strangers, and looking out the porthole, the distant horizon looks like a huge circle. It was past noon, lunch was over, and in half an hour the flight would land once again, and I would be arriving in Changchun, the first destination of the trip.
The plane landed safely at Longjia Airport, where my classmates had been waiting outside, and it took a while to get my luggage. The first time I saw him at the airport, I saw him waving at me from afar, and I quickly went up to him. Two hands clasped together, followed by a big hug. He, or the memory of the appearance, short, short hair, eyes through the shrewd, just a lot of fat, more than twenty years of time carved in his forehead wrinkles. Cold weather? Or is it excitement, his face red. He introduced his wife and son, greeted each other, pushed the luggage to the parking lot, and he went to drive. I looked up at the sky, blue blue blue.
The car drove on the highway, did not go to Changchun, went to his home. More than two o'clock in the afternoon to his booked hotel, the outdoor is not as cold as the legend, indoor heating is excellent. After a short stay, we went to his home, where his sister-in-law and children were at home. There are no tourist attractions in the county, a Liao Tower fame, built in the Liao Dynasty, 987 years ago, is the Liao Dynasty Huanglongfu left the only ancient building, so also known as Huanglong Tower, but also China's northernmost pagoda, the tower is 44 meters high, brick solid, dense eaves, octagonal *** thirteen layers.
The ancient pagoda in front of the photo went to the booked restaurant, the northeast rural decorative style, for people like me in the northwest, everything seems to be new and intimate. The food is very rich, but also very sumptuous, are large plates and bowls, excellent highlights the true nature of the Northeast people brash hospitality. No matter how long respectively, meet always have to drink, he also asked a relative to accompany the guests, let me surprise surprisingly and I have the same last name, our last name, few people, can be thousands of kilometers away and the same name to meet, see classmates the whole family's careful.
It gets dark early in the northeast. Drinking wine, chatting more enjoyable, talking about the bits and pieces of more than twenty years ago, we seem to return to that carefree era. The time of gathering is always short, unknowingly, we have been a little drunk, so the end of the meal. Out of the hotel, walking in the cold winter night, I was hot, did not feel the cold.
The next day, early in the morning, woke up early, six o'clock just after the eastern sky rose fish-belly white, the weather forecast shows that the temperature is minus twenty degrees, showered and dressed downstairs out of the hotel door, all the way to the north and then to the east, turned into the people's park not far away, the feet of the snow issued a "creaking creaking" happy call, through the thick and sturdy poplar forests, and then the people's park. Thick and sturdy poplar forest, a majestic temple came into view, the main gate building on the forehead of Thuji's "King Kong Temple" three gold-coated characters in the shy winter sun under the caress of the glittering warmth, the four sides of the eaves and picking the corner of the whole temple was set off both solemn and full of vitality. Along the trail continues to the east, the sun also let loose, it is tentative to deepen the color point by point, yellow, yellow, deep yellow, and finally boldly into a golden yellow, through the bare branches of the trees pouring down, reflecting halo in the forest on the snow, into a line of gold. The garden is very large, there are corridors and pavilions canopies, fitness equipment, roller skating rinks, gateball courts, artificial lakes, lounge chairs ......
Look at the time, about the time the children have gotten up, I returned the same way. The hotel door, the students' car parked there, upstairs into the room, the husband and wife enthusiastically asked how the rest, the room is not warm, outside cold. Checked out of the room after breakfast, and sister-in-law said goodbye, students driving with our family on the highway to Changchun direction. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the road is not a lot of cars, after Changchun, due to the widening of the road surface, the car turned to the three O two national highway to Jilin City. The plains on both sides of the highway gradually converted into hilly terrain, more trees, more snow and thicker.
Near noon, we arrived in Jilin City, and first went to eat a very Manchu characteristics of the Ula hot pot. The three-storey store is decorated with red and bright yellow lanterns, with the words "100 billion to come" written in Manchu and Chinese characters, a large cloisonné copper pot and a set of gorgeous and exquisitely crafted Manchu dresses, and a wooden tray full of "bud dumplings" for customers to taste free of charge. "The shop was crowded with customers. There are many customers in the store, and the decoration is all in Manchu style, with sturdy wood divided into different partitions, and the waiters are dressed in the robes and short coats of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, with red and yellow caps on their heads. The plaque is unique, the cashier is not called the cashier, called the "account room", the operating room is not called the operating room, called the "Imperial Cuisine Room".
Wula hot pot pot similar to the old Beijing shabu-shabu use of copper pots, just more exquisite, burning charcoal in the middle, below the pad plate and pots are surrounded by cloisonné, or embellished with a number of colorful dragons, or embellished with various colors of flowers, elegant, rich and lifelike. Northeastern people are not good at eating spicy, the soup is mainly light, but it is also extremely elaborate. Chicken soup as the base soup, adding ginseng, asparagus, wolfberry, red dates, cinnamon, angelica and other valuable Chinese herbs, long time carefully boiled into, with northeastern sauerkraut, hazelnut mushrooms, wild mushrooms, oyster, shrimp, crabs, etc., through the boiling, stewing, stewing, simmering and other cooking methods to control the fire, eat up fat and not greasy, fresh and unremitting, light and not thin, a long time to come back to the ... ...
The special detour to Jilin City, in fact, there are only two things, one is a classmate said that this year Changchun side of the snow less, Jilin side of the larger, better ski resort, the other is to invite Siping's classmates rushed over to get together.
Eat Ula hot pot, tend to go to the Jilin Beishan. North Mountain in the northwest of Jilin city, an area of 1.28 million square meters, more than two hundred meters above sea level, is a set of temples, landscape in a city landscape garden. Forward fifty or sixty meters, in front of a tall and majestic gate, blue plaque on the book of dignified gold-colored script "North Mountain" two words, just below the hanging four festive red lanterns. After the gate, open up, look around, the garden peaks and peaks, pavilions and pavilions all over the place, a crouching wave bridge across the lake, although it is freezing cold, but I can see the blue waves rippling lotus fragrance bursts.
The garden is bustling with people, a sea of people, all kinds of vendors yelling, ice candy gourds, frozen pears, baked hairy eggs, blowing sugar man, chestnut cake ...... in addition to the ice candy gourds, are some of the Northwest can not see the rare contraptions. The lake is frozen solid, the ice is full of skaters, there are old people, children, middle-aged, young, male and female. Near the shore of the lake, the fence encloses a small place, eight or nine people are swinging the stick, left and right speed playing hockey. Wolpo Bridge, more people, shoulder to shoulder, all the way up the mountain, the right side of a temple wall a big "Buddha", according to Baidu Encyclopedia, "North Mountain temples were Buddha, Taoism, Confucianism, a mixture of folk gods in the same Hall enshrined the pattern of the temple is full of rich slang fireworks, concentrated reflection of the late Qing Dynasty and early Republican era, and the temple is the most important part of the temple. Focused on reflecting the folk customs of the Northeast in the late Qing and early Republic of China. This pattern is very rare in other temples in the country. Standing at the foot of the North Mountain looking up at the East Peak, only to see the layers of mountains surrounded by temples. Pick up the stairs, in turn, can see the Panxue Hall, Guandi Temple, Medicine King Temple, Kanli Palace, Jade Emperor Pavilion and other famous buildings, of which the Jade Emperor Pavilion is the highest terrain in the ancient architectural complex of the North Mountain, the largest scale, the most grandiose building."
The son can not wait to play in the snow, along the mountain road down the slope, far from the sound of laughter, screams, incessant, not too small in the valley of the gully in the ice and snow park in the adults and children are playing not happy. There are a lot of projects, the relationship between time, the children chose to play the snow circle. Pull the tire-shaped snow circle, take the escalator up to the high point, and then along the snowy path of the speed of the slide down, there are a separate slip, there is a whole family of slip, there is no acquaintance with the companion slip, sitting in a snow circle, the front of the hold behind the person's feet, in order to string together in a string, so that play, the speed faster and more stimulating. About five o'clock, we went down the mountain, and Siping rushed over to the meeting of the students went to the hotel booked.
Dinner was chosen Songjiang West Road, "old white meat museum", simple store, left and right sides each hanging a string of red lanterns, the upper part of the store name is very large, the lower part of a celebrity inscribed "a hundred years old". In between orders, I crossed the street and walked to the Songhua River, not far from the majestic Linjiangmen Bridge, a huge column in the center of the river diagonally pulling a number of steel cables to support the entire bridge. At night, the cables are decorated with colorful lights from time to time changing colors, reflected in the river, beautiful.
The dishes are still northeastern dishes, garlic blood sausage, stir-fried deer tendon, pickled cabbage and white meat stewed vermicelli ...... Push the cups in the store has come to the closing time, everything is so harmonious and warm.
The next morning, as usual, got up early, and went to the North Mountain Park to walk around, the top of the temple group in the early morning under the dazzling sunshine more lofty, the park has been a lot of morning exercise, strolling, jogging, hanging voice, playing gyro, kite flying, there are still a few people on the ice with a couple of dogs in the race. More than eight o'clock back to the hotel, cleaned up when the room, downstairs in the noodle shop each ate a big bowl of hot noodles. The first thing you need to do is to get a good look at the newest and most important thing you need to do is to get a good look at the newest and most important thing you need to do.
Changchun, known as the "Spring City of the North", the green degree of Asia's largest cities, ranked among China's four major garden cities; as the former "pseudo-Manchukuo" of the capital, focused on witnessing the complete course of the political and military conflict in modern Northeast Asia, with a number of historical monuments. Many historical monuments. After the founding of New China, as the capital of Jilin Province, it has been positioned by the State Council as one of the central cities in Northeast China and a famous national historical and cultural city. This historic city also has a deep modern urban heritage, is the earliest automobile industry base and film production base in New China, "Oriental Detroit", "Oriental Los Angeles", "Oriental Hollywood". "It is also the first automobile industry base and movie production base in New China. It is also the birthplace of China's optical, biopharmaceutical, and railroad bus industries.
Due to the relationship between the schedule, we went directly to the north side of the Guangfu Road in Kuancheng District, "the pseudo-Manchu Palace Museum". All the way to follow the narrator forward, came to the "Xingyun door", standing in front of the door, a very bleak feeling, the so-called Palace seems simple and despicable, the House of bricks and gray tiles, but it is the extension of the quadrangle, that a few halls of the building, but it is only the level of the capital's big families, which there is a little bit of the Royal style of the old days. But the Buddha Hall or to have, the ancestors or to sacrifice, look at Puyi's Buddha Hall, ancestral temple, the Royal Banquet Hall, although opulent, although in the dress, but in any case can not hide the decline of the royal family. Remote thought once lived in this "castle" in the master, in that era of war, hidden behind that gorgeous mask, how shuddering, how humble. Puyi on the emperor's throne, behind the broken dragon plate, in Changchun, like a canary in fear, spent the life of the darkest, most depressing, the most humiliating thirteen years. Once the emperor, bent on restoring the Qing dynasty, willingly defected to Japanese imperialism, but the Japanese only wanted him to be a puppet, as a tool for invasion of China, nothing more. The wheel of history is cruel and progressive, although it ruthlessly crushed a once forlorn empire, but thankfully, it also created a more brilliant and glittering Greater China. From emperor to puppet to commoner, he regained his life, lucky to the core.
Originally wanted to give this unbearable modern history enough respect, but also with children to touch the kind of originally high but wrapped up in the situation of the body can not help, nearly two hours of visits, from the inside out, chest feel a kind of repressed anger, not to which person which country, but to the occurrence of the history of the suffering of the powerless. Textual accusations are pale, to learn from history, can commemorate the history of the only do good to themselves. I don't know if the purpose of educating children has been achieved, anyway, I was another profound inspirational lesson.
And went to the South Lake Park, the park is full of trees, forest thick leaves on a small amount of snow, the most attractive to me is the birch tree, but not a lot of white smooth bark long a lot of black eyes, looking at them, my ears echoed Park's magnetic melancholy song "quiet village floating white snow, the cloudy sky pigeons flying, the birch tree carved with the two names, they swore to be in love. They swore to love each other for the rest of their lives. One day the war reached their hometown, and the young man picked up his gun and ran to the frontier. The sky is still cloudy, there are still pigeons flying, who will prove that there is no tombstone of love and life, the snow is still falling in the village is still peaceful, young people died in the birch forest. The sound of bad news came in that afternoon, the sweetheart died in battle in the distant sands, she silently came to that piece of birch forest, looking forward to every day to guard there, she said he was just lost in the distance, he will definitely come to come to this piece of birch forest ".
The train ticket to Qiqihar is 6:20 p.m., the South Lake Park to find a restaurant to eat dinner, students sent us to Changchun station, a simple goodbye into the waiting hall.
At night at ten o'clock, the train arrived in Qiqihar on time, out of the station, Dazhi's Zhang to pick us up, the youngest son said softly that he was a little hungry, so the brother took us to a good barbecue restaurant, the fourth of January, not a lot of people, but the flavor is authentic. The next street to the hotel has been 11 o'clock, brother said he came over in the morning to pick us up for breakfast.
The first five days of the first month of the lunar calendar, also known as the "broken five", different places to pay attention to not the same, so the origin is not the same, there are Jiang Ziya break her said that there are taboos lifting said that there is to receive the God of Fortune said that, all of these, all without exception, expresses the people of the desire for a better life, so on this day, there is a kind of called "catch five poor", "catch five poor", "catch five poor". "Catch five poor" custom, "five poor" is also called "five ghosts", that is, to drive away the wisdom of the poor, poor, poor, poor, poor, poor, poor and other five kinds of poor ghosts. At dawn, firecrackers to clean up and open for business, North China and Northeast China are accustomed to eating dumplings on this day. Brother took us to pick up the car and ate dumplings before and after driving to Zalong.
Zalong National Nature Reserve is China's largest, world-famous wetland ecosystem type of nature reserve, with a total area of 210,000 hectares, the first in Asia, the world's fourth, but also the world's largest reed wetland, China's first national nature reserve, is the same latitude in northern China to retain the most complete, the most primitive, the most open wetland ecosystems, is included in the first batch of China's "List of World Important Wetlands". It is the most complete and original wetland ecosystem in the same latitude in northern China, and is listed in the first batch of "Wetlands of World Importance". The reserve is densely populated with lakes and reeds, which is a natural paradise for waterfowl and other birds to live and reproduce, and the main objects of protection are rare birds such as the Danding Crane and wetland ecosystems. 15 species of cranes are present in the world, 9 species in China, and 6 species in Zalong. There are less than 2,000 cranes in the world, but there are more than 400 in Zalong, which is known as "the world's largest wetland, China's crane hometown".
Into the protected area parked the car, brother and sister-in-law and son accompanied our family to the crane watching area. The last time I was here, the reeds were golden, and the snow-white rushes that stood on the slender branches danced in the wind. This time, in early spring, pieces of reeds have been harvested and piled up into a pile, the entire protected area has a much wider view of the original blue ripples of the large wetlands at the moment is like a huge mirror quietly looking up at the sky. Stepping on the ice, cold, but extremely fun, never seen such a translucent thick ice, frozen with water plants, insects and large or small, more or less, dense or sparse bubbles, trying to float upward, as if immediately have to break through the restraints to embrace the blue sky. Not far away from the remnants of the reeds came "hiccup ah, hiccup ah," the sound of cranes, followed the sound of the past, two more than a meter high cranes are seriously combing feathers. Their snow-white head topped with a bright red crown of flesh, like a white gold crown embedded in a dazzling ruby, neck long black, covered with white smooth feathers, legs slender, tail feathers like a large black bushel, occasionally high up the body, stretching his neck to look around, a leisurely and comfortable look, only people close to the near, will be vigilant to raise the sharp beak staring at.
The more you go in, the more the cranes are singing, and the more you can see the cranes and some unknown birds in the reeds. In the feeding room near the crane-watching area, a large flock of cranes were clamoring for attention, seemingly greeting the guests who came from afar. Before coming in, I thought that in such cold weather, there should not be many tourists, but I realized that when I walked along the wooden planks, I could see a lot of people standing on the crane-watching platform from afar. Opposite the platform is a small slope, 10:30, a young crane trainer appeared in the slope high. He stretched out his arms and waved the red flag in his hands, and behind him, a large flock of cranes rushed out as if they had been in ambush for a long time, running and lifting up their wings, which was quite a ceremony with a lot of people paying attention to them and making their debut. Next, the bird trainer bamboo pole swing, the birds flicker with huge wings in our head over, in the twinkling of an eye soaring in a blue sky, spectacular, around the field and once again swept over our heads, and finally, the delicate body slowly fell to the platform in front of the ice, calm and relaxed pacing.
When I left Zalong, I asked my brother, often come? The first time I saw the movie was when I was in the middle of the night, and the second time I saw the movie was when I was in the middle of the night, and the third time I was in the middle of the night.
Out of the scenic area, we drove one after another into the city to the Nenjiang River. Around the Peace Plaza embankment, parked a lot of fire trucks, the same was frozen solid on the vast river trapped two cars, a lot of traffic police in order to maintain order, strictly prohibit vehicles on the river, firefighters in the busy rescue. The original is also ready to play a drift on the river, this situation, uh ...... looks strange and scary, or forget it. The first time I saw the movie, I was in the middle of the movie, and I was in the middle of the movie.
