Early morning mother rose up and gave me a breakfast, and take me out the door, a red envelope stuffed his departure to me, let me take care of yourself.
At that moment I really don't want to go. However, the rain waiting for me, I had to go.At 8 o'clock in the morning, I went to the rain stayed the hotel, taxi Pingxiang have been waiting at the door, big brother.
Nanning to Pingxiang full speed, as long as two hours. The road is boring, drivers brother put out piece of cake, turned out to be Nanning 10 better taxi driver award ceremony live recordings. While this bit before us is the Le chef 10 Jia RI votes ranking third winners, award-winning stories are in the car picked up 10 million cash. Knew him as "Visual of money stinks," I should take a minibus prices further down pressure.10 o'clock in the drive to the Pingxiang city bus stop, I intend to buy 16 evening to Guangzhou's sleeper ticket, but the station was closed, because today is the year that the station would also like to holiday, no car.
So I will let u go straight houyiguan master. (If not the Spring Festival, the national peoples holidays to Pingxiang, you can shop in the vicinity of the station bought to Viet Nam's map and the SIM card, do not like I did in Hanoi full street looking for a place to sell calling cards)Pingxiang is located in the southwest region of China Sino-Vietnamese border, there is no one better than Pingxiang city as in historical witness, approximately 18 km southwest of the city's name change would houyiguan for proof.
Houyiguan has around 2000 of history, is one of our nine famous gateway. It was built in the Han dynasty, the first name Yong Guan, renamed after the chicken chicken mausoleum gateway (also called jieshou off, big big); renamed the town in the early Ming dynasty, Ming dynasty razed to town big; 1885 French war veteran Feng Qing dynasty had this child to fight the French, zhennan. In 1907, Dr Sun Yat-Sen in the leadership of the town of big uprising. After liberation, the more common practice in the town of nanguan renamed Chinook nanguan, houyiguan; late 1970s because Viet Nam in disregard of the invasion, Vietnam, and break down into town big houyiguan; 1980s restoration of diplomatic relations between China and Vietnam, the town of nanguan became houyiguan. Now rostrum with Marshal wrote "houyiguan" plaque.Car soon to friendship, here is very quiet, do not see the legendary Exchange Viet Nam shield.
Check the lobby before crossing the soldier smile and say "new year", and refers to the direction of our departure hall. Go to the departure clearance Hall, I found early in the clearance of the only two people I and drizzle. Soldiers soon to check out our passport and cover a chapter, then we will be able to leave the lobby, BAC to exit points there. Out the points that I am truly a People's Republic of China's territory. Exit points of the soldiers is equally smile on us that the "new year", check out our passport, we say "I wish you a pleasant journey." New year's day, our loyal soldiers are still firmly adhere to in their own positions to defend the motherland of frontier, thank you. I've spent less than before and after 10 minutes out of the country, our frontier efficiency is very high here ~Go 50 meters came to Viet Nam.
Viet Nam's inspection station just a few Yellow House, in front of us there is only one person in the Office of immigration procedures. Fill out the blue and white immigration card, let the inspectors in the passport and the card cover a chapter, the other will give you half of the entry card. This is to look after, so that when you exit it every time you do not need to fill such a card. It is estimated that new year's day, the legendary sacked by checking the health card and didn't show up. Out of the frontier, saw a seemingly coach bus is the next guest, guest are a mouthful of Taiwan. Then drizzle it looked about, know the car is opened from Hanoi, now there are no vehicles outside the frontier, suggested that we take the car back to Hanoi. So we went with Chinese tour guide on the ride. The Guide let us first out of the gate, waiting outside in his car, he wants to send these people cross the border to Taiwan back to Hanoi. So I will be out of the rain, in roadside off the door of the small hotel at the gate, and so on, than we first customs of the people there waiting for the bus. It was a middle-aged man Henan, to go through Hanoi, Saigon, doing business in Cambodia, but he will not talk nor Viet Nam, where things can only rely on it is not just pointing to his friends, Viet Nam and then let the phone to explain this one too». He used to sit in and out of the Viet Nam often also didn't come out today on the bus business, so he had no choice but to sit back with us to Hanoi, and then go to the station to buy tickets to Saigon.A coach came to speak Chinese tour guide, driver asking price is $ 80/person.
But later we arrived the owner doesn't allow to cut $ 60/person transactions. Later in the know, this small talk with Viet Nam people face, with weird Chinese tour guide, turned out to be Chinese. The Guide recommends we swap point Viet Nam shield standby, but the exchange rate is only willing to 1: 2000, I think you can go to Hanoi Exchange Bank, so they only and he changed the $ 50, the shield, the total is 10 million VND. This guide is black, the market prices but 1: 2200.Viet Nam times slower than Beijing time for an hour, so I watch slow for an hour, so now only half past nine, the guide said that three hours or so we can go to Hanoi.
We went to Hanoi, the first thing is to find hotel down a good package, and then go buy 7, 6: 05 flight to Danang ticket, then get dollars more shield, and then buy a phone card.Hanoi time 12: 30, we went to Hanoi.
Drizzle about car pulled out a camera to the side of the Windows crazy beat Esprit, she said that's called King. Relying on my compass and roadside foreigners of the way, I've come to the Kiem's Southeast side. (I suddenly found that I took the compass is really a very good idea)Legend has it that there are three thin in Viet Nam: map of thin, like a stretch of the "S" type; House skinny
For the three metres wide, with length of 35 meters, some 10 to 20 meters, walking in the streets of Hanoi, the skyscraper is pathetic, but are the outer wall whitewashes Rainbow high lanky House are everywhere; people thin, I saw nothing in Viet Nam Viet Nam fat man. Viet Nam person looks at first glance nothing with Chinese people, just because there are so many of Viet Nam text, I'm sure he was to Viet Nam ~ if the clock back 100 years ago, here is the street of shops signs road name certainly still Chinese. This is damn good deeds in France people dry!!I know that if you walk along the Lake to the South the sword also this road go to 500 meters, so 1, Quang Trung, Vietnam Airlines ' Ticket office, so I wouldn't have wasted an afternoon go place a ticket.
Unfortunately, the full early to Hanoi Viet Nam text of main street, so I like the 23 second monk puzzled, but according to the strategy on a first-come, first-look for the good old district of GH accommodation again. D version in the hands of the LP is rain to Viet Nam, Cambodia is bought, the Hanoi map above was not clear, I am also not see a map of Hanoi are sold.Today is the day of the lunar new year, almost all of the shops on the street is close by, the Bank is no exception, the streets very few feel very lonely.
But it was all in front of all the flags--with-red bottom, the Center is a yellow five-pointed star of gold star red flag. Some streets and units of the door were hung with red banners with 4 words and Viet Nam 2008, my guess is "Spring Festival" mean. Some places also plug your flag, since 3 February is the 80th anniversary of VCP, VCP party flag too is the scythe axe.Old town in the North of the Lake, there is all over, GH backpackers clustered.
Our backpack along the Lake the green tree Misty forests do not know the name of the street and walked towards the old town. The road also gradually much of it, I then began to feel the atmosphere of festive new year. Motorcycle, car, balloons, camera, hawkers, the elderly, children, couples, foreigner, Kiem total aggregation to the Lake. When the feast of the mother would let me wearing new clothes, with me to people's Park. Now in this sword Lake I have had the same feeling with a child. Hanoi's car, motorcycle, but more like the crosses of crucian carp. Green light open, accompanied by continuous ROAR, hundreds of motorcycle and polls, all can not see.Many old GH, we picked a few facade looks better ask the price, but is more than $ 15.
Because we have seen before, and know the general strategy can be found for $ 10 less room, so we continue to look forward. Later found a man named Spirit of GH, a quote of $ 10. I let you look at the room, because I think if a clean girl acceptable words I can accept. Rain said after watching it, but in general the room will be a night also. So we put the passports to the boss, the boss will Check in, check out payment after the passport back to us, no extra deposit.The Viet Nam general family hotel also can help you set the train, bus, airline tickets, arrange day trips for generations, so we put it to the front after the package so that the boss help call the Ticket office of Vietnam Airlines tickets.
But the phone has no one answered, the boss said that was lunch, went to give us an answer. I'm with you do not want to waste time, so they decided to go out and see if you can find more routes of Ticket office, if not found, then come back and look at two-thirty.Red River hotel (Nanning to Hanoi bus first docking station) to the East of the Lake, No.204 TRAN QUANG KHAI Road.
TRAN QUANG KHAI translated into Chinese name is Chen Kai, the Viet Nam dialect pronunciation with Cantonese "Tran Quang Khai" pronunciations. Viet Nam many roads are named employer name, such as Tran Quang Khai road, Tran Hung Dao Road. If in the West to the East of the Lake, only to see that the unique characteristics of the relatively high red floor is the Red River next to the hotel. Friends have told me that the more routes near the Ticket office, so I decided to look for the Red River hotel.Old street corner, there are many small vendors in selling local snacks, of which I am familiar with rice noodles.
Viet Nam text, PHO = powder, COM = rice, I found many of the streets of Hanoi with Pho's Billboard. Drizzle seems hungry, always told me that she had just seen rice noodle stalls on the streets. So I decided to fix---sitting local rickshaw to find more routes of Ticket office. CYCLO, is unique in Viet Nam, the driver at the rickshaw, wearing Viet Nam man very popular green like fighting helmets as hat, passengers in the front, it is for the convenience of viewing the scenery. But this type of car has a better image of more terrorist named "guest first death".I got waved, come two "guest first death", I put online the more shipping address provided to them, they pointed to me that eighty, then pointed at the light rain that eighty.
I understand what they mean, everyone 80,000 shield of Viet Nam (Vietnam shield is cheap, and later I used the smallest denomination of Viet Nam shield is 500 guilders, the largest denomination is 500,000, Viet Nam, saying how many thousand price said, sometimes omitted Chin, only the part before comma). So we decided to walk past, well in that red floor look out too far.(Visitors to die)
A roadside walking shoot, I and the rain came to the front of the building that houses the red.
I and drizzle two hands are holding a Canon SLR cameras, knew that tourists, so immediately attracted the attention of building security. Security came in English with a greeting, I took out the more shipping address to him. He told us that the place in another area, there are some distance from here, after the Red River Bridge。 It seems that two driver haven't cheated me. So I gave up to get Ticket office, decided to return to the hotel to see the boss for help.On the way back to GH we passed through a do volume powder, have the locals eat, where to eat in Cantonese.
Boss we foreigners, he gave us open price, nearly Twenty RMB10. NND ~ ~ the Viet Nam volume powder's day when I opened the Millennium night market is also eaten, in a $ 1, $ 2 a piece of meat. If only my own words, as my character I'm sure all sorts of not say u go, but now I'm and drizzle with her today not to eat anything, definitely starving, forget it, I couldn't help ~ so I pointed to two volume powder, put out a finger with the boss said that Two. Boss let us into the shop to sit down, you'll put the volume powder-side up. At the same time served a dish of cut into two small lemon (hand extruder juice to make the sauce) and a similar level of the grass plant (Raiders are kind of seasoning, to the leaves off eating the leaves). Volume powder is very small, as if it is salted vegetable stuffing, me a couple of mouth eaten, boss look I have finished another side of a disc, I thought that this disc is rushed, ask also did not ask it and ate. Later a checkout, spends 60,000. Hei Hei, Grand don't come for free.Two-thirty, we went back to GH, the boss in front of our face telephoned to Vietnam Airlines, but say that Viet Nam.
Boss off the phone after telling us that now have tickets, but to $ 69 per person. When at home I have dial-a-Vietnam Airlines, Vietnam Airlines who quote is $ 61, and I speak to my boss and I know he wants to earn points, but can rarely earn? $ 69 is too expensive to be the boss said that Vietnam Airlines now price is $ 69, always refused to let go. I borrowed the boss's plane (boss said to pay) to Vietnam Airlines call to personally confirm that price, but other phones have been busy. The boss said to go to the post office on the phone than in his play cheap here. I and rain decided to went to the post office. Until I asked my boss, what Bank today is still open? boss said that only the ANZ Bank today opened the door, just west of Kiem.Go to the post office on the way we passed a House like that JoJo Jones little restaurant, selling ice cream downstairs.
Drizzle this guy didn't want to go, she would eat milk shake, as long as 15KVND a Cup. I am a sweet tooth, if in the past I'm sure will come and a Cup, but now found only at 40KVND had not found a bank money until I wouldn't mess with money, so I said I don't eat light rain, drizzle, just buy a Cup is enough. This guy was able to eat, it is not known for meat.We are both from the North of the Lake to the South, one wheel on the way are not found in the post office and open the door of the Bank, also did not find the door's ticket office.
Until half past 3 faster when the rain in a still someone asked ticketing agents there to Vietnam Airlines ticket office address, authentic each other also drew the map showed us briefly. Place 4: 30 to go off, but leave us now the position is not far away. I and drizzle hurriedly rush in the past, finally I found the road that is close to the edge of the sword also Hunan road. The road is a South-East-West direction. To the Southeast is the place where we get off the Northwest direction can reach Pakistan Pavilion Plaza (this is later found map to know).Vietnam Airlines sell tickets at the box office of the National Bank in a similar way, you need to take on the machine, the Queuing.
But fortunately, not many people at that time, soon my turn. Because there is no more a shield, so I payment is USD, the price is $ 60.7/person. But the person at the box office does not accept cash, only accept credit card, but fortunately I have with Master card. Credit card charge is not required, but also good. At the same time I also asked to take an airport bus, at the box office entrance of the street, there is a Mini Bus. The oldest one is 4: 30 in the morning of departure, 50 minutes to the airport, the prices of $ 2/person (or 32KVND/person).The next thing is to go to the Bank to Exchange meeting.
Along the way, by the way, we finally found the ANZ Bank. Bank immediately at the West side of the edge of the Lake. But go too late, the Bank has already closed the door. Bank of Viet Nam at the entrance to some solicitation for money changing business, some of the Chinese people will point. But they give the exchange rate is too low, only to 1RMB = 2000VND, therefore I did not change with them.Back to the hotel on our way we pass an ice cream shop, drizzle of selfless and insect and moving up.
I think, this time with her to eat, and I bought two ice cream egg cylinder, the last left 25KVND 4K.Near the hotel, I see two wearing Cycling clothing, pushing a bicycle, a Cantonese of middle-aged men and women.
It looks like they beat greets asked if they know, Pavilion Plaza? because we are going to go over there, Pavilion Plaza, but the Lake before we ask for personal or can't understand English in Viet Nam, or just to Hanoi for foreigners, are unsure of which BA Pavilion Plaza in, so I and rain will going back to the hotel look there is a map of Hanoi. See the bike in Chinese, I thought they should have hired a car to go shopping. Who knows what they have just arrived in Hanoi, and spent two days all the way from houyiguan ride, too strong! exactly they do have a map of Hanoi in English, and I took the camera to shoot down an alternate map.The original bus station square in Kiem Northwest direction, is located in the city centre of Hanoi.
Buses Pavilion in originally Qing Hua Shan County of a goose. 19 century 80 's, buses Pavilion early onset anti-French movement; to commemorate the struggle against the people of Viet Nam, Viet Nam "after the victory of the August revolution" was to "bus station named for this square". In 1945, September 2, Ho Chi Minh President read Viet Nam Declaration of independence, announced the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam. Now it held rallies and Viet Nam is the Festival of important places, like our Tiananmen Square. West sideAs Ho Chi Minh mausoleum, East to Pakistan Pavilion Hall, Plaza surrounded by green trees lingering, architectural surrounding arch as wall. Lenin square, Chinese Embassy, military museum, the Presidential Palace are all nearby.We had planned to go to the Lake by boat-shaped coffee shop upstairs to eat and then go to the bus station square, unfortunately, this is the beginning of a boat-shaped coffee shop is closed long ago, only allowed out were forbidden to enter.
Rain did not give up, go downstairs for several laps, but did not find another entry into, and finally had to give up. Because the map Pakistan Pavilion square away from the Lake did not far away, so we decided to slowly walk past, by the way the way photos, find something to eat, and by the way, find a place for Viet Nam shield. Because many shops in the old price is set for foreign visitors, are basically is high, only leaving the old town is a real chance to find a tasty things.(Rain will not always go to the coffee shop)
However my abacus seems wrong, go past a lot of shops are closed, prices are not cheaper than the old town, a kind of rice flour likewise to 20K, Shanghai is also expensive.
I'm on the way of a hotel as 1: 2100 exchange rate for the Viet Nam shield 500RMB. There is some money finally seeing the hard up, then I spent 150KVND bought a SIM card with the phone bill to 150KVND and I arrived after the Viet Nam's other friends, you can also contact with his family.A road with a compass and ask directions, I find the passers-by and the rain came to a wall stands, wall with fence, wall has a police guard (military?).
I see not far away stands a statue of Lenin, similar to the East there is a similar water tower on the roof of the building, with Viet Nam national flag (this should be a military museum, famous Hanoi flag desk). I have to assume there's our now should be to the Chinese Embassy on the edge of the wall. Unfortunately when rain wear less, watching her father dwarf, I only gave it up to the door of the Chinese Embassy a go. With the rain, I hurried over Lenin square, to the bus station Plaza, Ho Chi Minh mausoleum took some picture hastily to taxi back to GH. (Speaking of Ho Chi Minh, here is a touching story: Ho Chi Minh Nguyen original named Benny, participate in the revolution renamed Nguyen patriotic. Nguyen AI in China's revolutionary activities have been reactionary forces arrested and sentenced to death. Before, with the prison sentence of Chinese prisoners of their own from Ho Chi Minh's chance and Nguyen patriotic, frankly death makes a dragon with lock, replay the Yunyu. Nguyen AI Viet Nam will return to its name changed to Ho Chi Minh, commemorating the Chinese comrades give his rebirth. ）(Night of Ho Chi Minh mausoleum)
Plus good clothes, both a little hungry, brought about by toast and spinach bread out to eat, but to buy rain of spinach bread is very hard not to eat.
Rest, we plan to go for dinner. In the afternoon we hit when I didn't see any good in the vicinity of restaurants, so we decided to go in the afternoon rain buy milkshake in that shop for dinner. Rain in the country when it has been said to Viet Nam's spring rolls, but I see that shop's only Western food on the menu, there is no Spring Roll with this project, we had to casually point something to eat. Later, you told me that I'm behind the desk a dish of similar spring rolls. I looked at the desk of the guests, who faces in Asia. I think in this local consumption should not be a Viet Nam people, and I asked the Chinese that the woman, her point of this is what women of Chinese answer me, this is the Sandwich Roll. I followed the rain that I was right, knew each other is Chinese. But then the woman said she was Korea, studied Chinese, now working in Guangzhou, she is opposite that man is Viet Nam. I the Khan!.. No wonder I would think that she's a little strange in Chinese.I sat and rain at third floor window location, diagonally opposite the afternoon rain have always wanted to have the boat-House.
In this position will also be able to see Kiem night. Downstairs very spacious junction, there are many traffic of vehicles. Crossing Central up a temporary table, Viet Nam acrobatic troupe of actors were performing acrobatics to passers-by. So lazy sat, look out the window of Hanoi night, enjoy the nearby acrobatics, drink coffee, smoking, and then look at the busy taking photos of rain, nothing needs to be thought, this pleasant feeling that I do not want to go.(New year street performances)
But finally had to go, tomorrow will get up early to catch the flight.
The meal I've had a total consumption 120K, bought one after I go together to the crossroads near the circus performances. See a rain should be tired, we must first go back to GH. Turning off GH, walk 5 minutes are not used to, I guess there is no risk, it is safe to let her own back. A man look uninteresting, casually took point photographs of the Viet Nam MM performance, I'm back to GH. GH-floor has a computer to the Internet, our hotel guests can use free of charge, but the computer system is in English, Chinese cannot be displayed, so download South Pole Star Chinese system for normal use. Boring on the net, I will be back to the room to sleep. Set the alarm clock is 03: 00AM, we drove to morning 6: 05.(Street shops)
