JIMINGYI Travel notes - The dak thousand years ago.

The morning wind in the west small town - sand city cooled my face as I stepped down the train , the wind is light and comfortablely soothe every inch of my skin , hands are glad to be bathed in the cold air , blood and nerve system are all function well . I am glad that I can be out , just to be out and see different landscape and feel different atmosphere . Fish live in the liquid water yet we are always hanging at the bottom of the atmosphere - a ocean formed by air. Rest when reach the top of the rocky mountain It is not surprised to find that there are only low houses and narrow road , yet they are all standing there gracely with their plain and purity greeting us . The road is long to the place no body knows , the houses are made of brick no body know their birth time . the city is old , especially the dak we are closing . The dak is called chick bleat dak , it was built thousand of years ago . I can feel its age from the worn-out circumvallation and watch-tower , some of the circumvallation are lost , some are collapsed in half , the watch- tower has no windows , some roof are missing . But I can still feel its majesty time ago when messenger rode horses from every where. Rocky Mountain We measured every inch of the dak with our feet , the circumvallation is estimated 15 meters high , we are worried to fall down from the top , if so, we could possibly get killed or seriously injured. But when we look carefully down to the yards of every individual home , we found they are teeming with life -- a group of lovely white rabbits are jumping hither and thither ,they are all looked fat and large . Two big gooses strech their neck are looking at us , seemingly saying ' come to my home , and have a good dinner' ; A dog shouted at us and wanted to break loose the iron chain in another yard . A group of golden light come into my eyes , the color is so warm and magic that I focus my camera on the spot , and adjusted camera lens to be able to see it clearly . It is mealie bar , and three family member are working on them , there are about 3000 mealie bars there reflecting golden light form sun. they are their next years seeds and their hope . little boys and girls are playing basket ball in the dak there , they are all healthy and lovely , they are also the dak's hope .
