in 1993 on his way to Harbin, I found myself in Udalyanchi, Now it is known in China resort, but at that time dilapidated houses and two sources of mineral water. At least that's all I remember. There led dirt road on which our bus after the rain hardly differed from the oncoming traffic, the benefit they were few. A trip from Heihe, a Chinese neighbor Across the Amur Blagoveshchensk, occupied almost the entire day. In October last year, my friend guide-interpreter from the tour company in Blagoveshchensk, with which I began to explore China, shared that in November is going to Udalyanchi. I decided to take advantage of the situation and joined his group.
18.11 at 8 am group gathered in the office travel agency, where we had a briefing. On the bus company, we arrived at the customs office in Blagoveshchensk, and two hours later, after passing customs clearance and border guards, we were on the bank of the Amur, on the other side of which sparkled with patches of sunlight city of Heihe. In the summer tourists cross the river on boats, now, in the offseason, when the ice is floating on the river, here and there scurrying hovercraft with the flags of Russia and China. in Heihe, we stayed not long. Dined at the restaurant, got on a bus and drove out of town. The road is impressive, with two broad bands on either side, separated by the middle of the lawn with fences. Could go well over a hundred, but the driver had closely followed the speed limits. On the highway are automatic cameras, and where the trail is not completed yet, the speaker the bus came to life a woman's voice, and the Chinese knew in advance that it is necessary to adjust to another lane.
In Udalyanchi we settled on the double numbers with me in the room settled fishing boat captain from Kamchatka. The next day, after breakfast (like I long for Chinese food), all scattered Procedures. Resort after all! True, some patients later I regularly saw on the porch with a cigarette. And most evidently ill at breakfast came with a heavy hangover, if any, came. I paid only for therapeutic foot massage for ten days, treat it like nothing. Well and beat a path to the volcano, in the crater of which is a Buddhist temple "Zhonglin. The second such, that is inside a volcano in the world no. Local volcano that erupts once long time ago, do not differ in height, as in Kamchatka. They grew up right among the plains, and fourteen pieces. I understand they all erupted at different times.
It was cool, the lake froze, and I did not look for ways to visit the volcano, which lies in the crater lake. At the lake, which is plain, I went alone. Season not much for walking, and all the people came to be treated, so there was almost no excursions.
on the territory of the sanatorium "Work" is a small lake of lotuses, a platform for sunbathing with sun beds, lots of greenery, the remnants of which fall in three days inundated with snow. On the lawns of the terms are plates for our tourists with inscriptions in both languages \u200b\u200b"on the lawns do not walk," which in Chinese means "to come in large numbers here ...." Here there are some shops where you can buy everything you need, you can take photos, make custom curtains and much more. I think some "tourists" so do not ever not gone beyond the territory of the sanatorium, while across the street price of others. For example, green tea I bought five times cheaper.
Udalyanchi translated as "from the five lakes. On the biggest I've decided to go some other time, come summer. Also have not seen the flowering lotus, and it is very beautiful spectacle.
from the base of the volcano, which is a temple, 354 steps lead up from the volcanic stone. The Chinese believe that if the rise, advancing At each stage, the top can make a wish that comes true.
then seventeen more steps lead to the monument to the Goddess of Mercy Guanine. There's always a couple of duty seems to have a husband and wife. If it snows, one sweeps the other is selling red ribbons with the characters for good luck, first of ten Yuan, then five, three, two ... As soon as removed from them. They even privyazhut ribbon for you at the tree ... and when you go, will be removed. Business! Not to say that people upstairs a lot, I think that in the summer cause they are getting better. For two weeks in Udalyanchi I climbed the mountain six times. In the morning, even went to the famous springs. Three of them: the eye, gastrointestinal and heart. Sources of such water is available only in Udalyanchi, France (Vichy) and the Caucasus (not sure exactly where, perhaps, I bathed them in Dagestan).
I decided to come to Udalyanchi once more in the summer to go boating on the lakes, climb the other volcanoes, swim in the mud, going down in an ice cave, swim in the lake with lotuses. And the market will not only passion fruit, lychees, frozen strawberries, I want to try and more exotic fruits. I brought souvenirs from volcanic stone, the famous mushrooms in oriental medicine Lingzhi (gonoderma, Reishi), available in his time only in the imperial court, Goji berry (we do not know this miracle berry, the Chinese say, "buckthorn") and of course a lot of impressions and photographs.
