Two-day tour guide from Harbin to Jilin Rime Island:
Departure at 6:30 in the morning, on the tour bus The people were gathered together by two travel websites, and most of them were unknown to them. Among them were eight female tourists in their 50s to 60s who were very eye-catching. They were all tall and the shortest was no less than 1.67 meters tall. They were slender and had pleasant looks. Eight people are wearing the same clothes: colorful long cotton monkeys like cloth tigers, the same long black leather boots, and the same red woolen half-hat.
The tour leader whispered to me that they were a small group and we would travel together every time. They usually dance together and sometimes do modeling performances for clothing companies.
We will drive to Jilin City at noon and first go to Jilin City Longtanshan Heritage Park. I don’t know who designed the park gate. I can’t tell what style it is. It looks like a cemetery gate.
After entering the park and looking closely at the stone wall murals on the right and the inscribed stone tablets on the left, I realized that this ordinary mountain was visited by Emperor Qianlong in 1754. As for why the two words "site" were added to the name of the park There is no explanation in the word garden.
Next is Beishan Park. In order to highlight the ancient temples in the park, the park gate is shaped like a temple. Beishan Park is very big, with mountains, water, archways and temples. It should be very beautiful in summer. It was the middle of winter, the lake was frozen, the vegetation was withering, and time was limited so everyone just walked around the foot of the mountain.
It is worth mentioning that there is a small square in front of the Shangding Pattern Archway. Four girls in their twenties are dancing the ghost step in the square. They dance neatly and move quickly and powerfully, attracting many people. Many tourists stopped to watch, and the people in our car also watched for a long time.
At 5:30 in the evening, it was dark before the car arrived at the place of residence: Hantun, Manchu Town, Daula Street. In recent years, the number of tourists to Wusong Island has increased year by year. This village is the closest to Wusong Island, and most farmers have expanded their homes to build farmhouses and hotels.
The name of the hotel we stayed in was quite big, called Xueke Hotel. The owners were a young couple. The man was quite thin and had a dark complexion. The woman's name is Xiao Rong, she is of medium height, slightly fat, and has a round face. The couple is very friendly and responsive to tourists' requests.
The dinner that night was charcoal hot pot. There are ten people per table. It is agreed in advance that each table will have two plates of cooked pork, two plates of mutton, and two plates of beef. There are six tables in the dining room, and the host and hostess take turns serving dishes. Halfway through the meal, a female tourist at the same table said to the dark-faced man: "Hey, young man, our table is missing a plate of mutton."
The thirty-year-old male host glanced at the pile of meat on the table. After putting the plates together, he said, "Okay, here they are for you." After that, he turned back to the kitchen and brought out a plate of mutton. Then two more tables said they didn't have enough meat, so they had to make up for it.
The tourists who got an extra plate of mutton were very satisfied and smiled. The dark-faced couple also smiled at each other in the room.
It’s called a hotel, but it’s actually incomparable to hotels in big cities. Except for the plastic room number plate above the guest room door, which is similar to that of a regular hotel, everything else does not match the imaginary hotel.
There is no bed in the room, only a long fire bed. The heated kang is heated by electricity, and each room has a bathroom. This is a big improvement compared to the outdoor toilets in the previous two years.
The design of the electric heated kang is very clever. In a small room of ten square meters, there can only be two beds at most except for the bathroom, while the long heated kang can accommodate four to five people, while also saving on heating equipment.
The most important thing about farmhouses is that they are cheap. How can we calculate the price if the room specifications are the same as those of hotels in the city? There are so many farmhouses, who will stay if the price is expensive? It makes no sense to get the maximum profit with the minimum investment. Farmers who have listened to lectures by economists also understand.
Tourists who are used to sleeping on Simmons beds in the city find it uncomfortable to sleep on an electric kang. It’s too hot under the body and the air in the room is too cold. Fortunately, it’s just a one-night stay and everyone can sleep on it. Be patient, turn over a few times and it will be over in one night.
The bonfire party is a must-have item for all farmhouses. At seven o'clock in the evening, the black face lit the wood in the iron tube in the center of the courtyard. As the music played, tourists began to sing and dance around the bonfire that occasionally sparked. Not many people danced the fast four and slow four ballroom dances. The eight cloth tigers stole the show. Their bodies were light and their steps were cheerful. Their sailor dance was really eye-catching. The few men outside the venue kept applauding and applauding.
The next day, have breakfast at 5:30 and go to Rime Island at 6:00. The tour leader said that the rime is most beautiful in the early morning. As soon as the sun comes out, the rime slowly disappears.
At 6:30, we walked to the bridge to check the tickets. At this time, Rime Island was still half-asleep and half-awake. The stars in the blue sky shone with cold light. The weather was extremely cold, and the hot air exhaled by people instantly turned into a gray-white mist.
Rime Island is a long and narrow island in the upper reaches of the Songhua River. The tall elm and willow trees on the island are densely covered with red, yellow, blue and green lanterns.
It is daybreak, the rime on the branches and grass is white and clear, and the scenery in the distance looks hazy due to the cold fog. If there were not so many noisy tourists on the island, maybe the poet could write a poem: "I am an immortal when I am in Yaotai".
But now, there are tourists taking photos in front of the dense rime trees, and there are more mortals holding up their mobile phones. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will not feel like a fairy.
Actually, I don’t think the rime is that surprising. On the contrary, tourists have become the beautiful scenery on the island.
There are at least a thousand tourists visiting the island, and the vast majority are female tourists. Regardless of whether they are young or old, they are all dressed in extremely new and colorful clothes. The red cotton monkey coat is particularly eye-catching, and all kinds of leather boots, scarves and gloves are all brand new, which fully reflects the leisurely and affluent life of most Chinese people.
Why are there so few male tourists? I thought about this for a while:
I feel that Chinese women have an easier life than men. Most of the people who dance in squares in various cities are aunts, and rarely old men. Retired women mainly look for fun, while retired men are mostly content with being comfortable and a bit lazy. They can play mahjong and chess, but have little interest in such short-distance travel.
Women are big-hearted and happy, especially older women. No wonder women live longer on average than men. Older women think more about happy things, while older men think more about sad things; older women think more about the present, while older men prefer nostalgia.
A woman with a very ordinary view that men find uninteresting will happily pose for photos.
If men and women talk about social issues such as corruption, shady affairs, and the system, they will immediately say: "At our age, we should go out more and pay more attention to health. Don't talk about these things." It’s not something you or I can care about, so don’t worry about it!”
If you continue to say something ignorant, they will say rudely: “Are you sick?”< /p>
Women don’t care about the things that men talk about, such as Kim Sam’s launch of missiles and military exercises between the United States and South Korea.
I walked around the island and then walked back. When I was approaching the bridge, I saw someone holding a fox and taking pictures. Foxes are the most cunning and fearful of humans in nature.
The owner of the fox did not know what kind of ecstasy drug he poured into it. This snow fox is as docile as a sheep and as obedient as a pet dog. Anyone can hold it.
The fee for taking photos while holding it is ten yuan. It is estimated that this stupid fox can earn at least several hundred yuan for its owner a day. Of course, the owner will not treat it badly. Looking at its fat waist and shiny white hair, you know that its food must be very good.
Shortly after nine o'clock, most people returned to their residences. Because it was so cold outside, my hands and feet were frozen.
There were still two hours before lunch, so some people started taking pictures in costume.
In order to attract customers, the dark-faced shop owner set up a clothes rack at one end of the dining room, with several costumes hanging on it.
A man in his sixties fell in love with the Qing Dynasty emperor's uniform and asked a female tourist to help him put it on. He was fat and had difficulty putting on the mantle, so he scolded him in an emperor's tone: "It's useless. It’s so hard to change the court uniform, just pull it down!” The female tourist didn’t care, and kept shouting: “The emperor just likes to lose his temper, and he thinks it’s useless to replace the slave with someone else.”
Everyone laughed at their funny looks.
The long robe and mandarin jacket were put on, and the fat man was sitting on the chair. His companion took a picture of him and said, "Go back and add the words: The emperor went to court in the morning." Another female tourist said, "No, what?" In the morning, the emperor went to the brothel."
Everyone in the room laughed before he could say a word.
Lunch is pork butchers, including blood sausage, pork belly, and sauerkraut stewed pork belly. Tourists all say that the frozen tofu, sauerkraut, and pork are delicious and flavorful, and the rice stewed with rice mixed with millet is also fragrant. When asked about the owner, he said honestly with a dark face: "They are all grown at home, without chemical fertilizers. If any of you want to buy them, I can sell them to you."
On the shelf in the cold warehouse. On the table, small bags of high-grain rice, millet, chicken, pork, frozen tofu, dried tofu, sauerkraut, sticky bean buns, etc. are neatly placed. All foods are labeled as farmhouse, small garden, self-raised, and self-reserved.
If anyone is trustworthy in today's society, it is probably farmers. A farmer who says that there is not enough mutton and immediately supplies it should be more trustworthy. As a result, these tourists who live in big cities and are afraid of eating fake food every day spend money to buy it.
Hei Lian and Xiao Rong stood at the door and waved goodbye to the tourists. The bus drove away, and the young couple smiled happily.
In the car, the female tourists were chirping and commenting on the photos; the cloth tigers were discussing where to go next; the only few men were drowsy with their heads down and eyes closed.
Seeing this scene makes people sigh: Chinese retired women are really a group of extremely happy people.
