Author: WandererMadagascar, where? Many people confused, then suddenly realize, is not that the United States DreamWorks animated film “Madagascar” to describe the African island nation. Most Chinese people believe that the impression of Madagascar, stay in the movie one by three rogue penguins hijack the ship to change course and four hapless and terror of tropical rain forest, there is a large group of miserable all day worried about being eaten by the big eyes lemur … … Yes, this is Madagascar, but not all of the film description.

That Madagascar is an island, but I’d rather call it a continent. It is an area of nearly 60 million square kilometers, bigger than the three in Guangdong Province, from north to south, 1,800 kilometers, equivalent to from Guangzhou to Zhengzhou distance. And this is an old continent, more than one hundred million years ago, it separated from Gondwana, has been lonely in the Indian Ocean. 65 million years ago, an asteroid 10 kilometers in diameter hit the Earth, the point of impact in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, the Big Bang led to the extinction of dinosaurs, the whole world into a sea of fire, fortunately, Madagascar, the Earth just in Yucatan the back, suffered the least, so many rare species can be preserved, there are statistics, Madagascar Qicheng species is unique. This is an aloof from the world of Eden.

Madagascar is not full of tropical rain forest, tropical rain forests are mainly distributed in the eastern Indian Ocean, the vast central plateau region is the climate, dry and cool, Madagascar race is also very complex, the central highlands of people from Asia, and the Malays have a thousand wire Wanlv contact, while the western side of the continent towards the coast, it is the African immigrants. Our trip this time, mainly in the north – the town is full of Latin music and tropical rainforest island Nuoxi Bei Dige. Red Grand Canyon fall

Dige Dige Soares called the full name, which is the name of European colonists, and now people call it Ma Ahn’Qiraj be there. The whole town is on a bay, gulf middle surprised to Rock Hill has a prominent sharp conical surface, the locals call it “sugar bread”, and, looking across the board and its “French Hill”, the Gulf and town glance. There are many hills unique to Africa “monkey bread tree,” Hercules bent his arms like a show with muscle standing. Foot of the mountain herd of cattle grazing, the tour guide said that Malaysia’s beef is very special, as there is a hump like a camel, camel, said cattle, camel hump of beef on a number of the most expensive piece of the best eating.

Town buildings are colonial style, rugged roads, buildings dilapidated barge mottled spot, in the tropical sun irradiation sinister silent.

Lizards everywhere

The first day, we drove 2 hours to AMBRE Forest Park, where the water source is Dige region. Which has no name to all kinds of tropical plants, they are very important for indigenous people, tour guides constantly introduced what they can cure the disease. Accidentally, a black snake lying on the road, so that Ms. peer screamed, guides to appease us, no poisonous reptiles Falklands all. Guide all the way to the ground litter rummaging, we are very curious, and finally he picked up a small lizard in the hand, thumb-size, which is the world’s smallest lizard. In Malaysia, I feel the most is that it is really more chameleon lizard, tree wall, red and green everywhere, even in my hotel, early in the morning there is a huge lizard door greeted at the door, scared me!

The Forest Park is famous wild lemur, but we look around is not seen nowhere. As we met with no chance that will be the occasion, Ms. peer scream, looked busy, turned out to be a few lemurs from the high tree on top of passing, as far see clear, only to see They are dragging its tail, and my heart is too unhappy.

Tiezhang floating on the original

The next day, we went through the bumps more than two hours called “REDTSINGY” attractions, this is actually a clay plateau formed by river erosion in the Grand Canyon. As we tour the high kick low kick to the bottom of the canyon, G, and suddenly a small river our way, just how we hesitate to cross the river when I saw marching sandbar directly across the river guides, all these super-support force of sand, will not fall into the trap, we have the suit also made a return to “Tie Zhang Water Gone with the Wind.” The end of the canyon, we see the Stone Forest in Madagascar, but the actual clay was washed away, the hard sandstone to stay, one by one, dense needle-like standing on the river, outside the meantime, as exposure to a pair of silver knives, so that Creator of the amazing people amazing.

Why go to Africa? Maybe take a plane after 15 hours you will ask. I think to go to Africa not to look at the scenery, beautiful mountains and rivers, but certainly higher than China; not see the smooth sand, Southeast Asia, everywhere. Then go to Africa to see what? I think it is to experience the raw power of nature is to experience a loneliness, is to experience the joy of a self-imposed exile. “We come from? We go?” Is a human have been thinking about philosophical proposition. 8 years ago, I saw at the National Museum of Ethiopia, “Lucy” fossil bones, which is the common ancestor of human beings, human beings from Africa to come out, the development of a high degree of civilization, while Africa is still in the natural state. Back to Africa, when the car pulled out of Dige an hour, poles, lights disappeared from sight, the villagers live a sunrise and sunset of life. But when these foreign intruders in our vehicles speeding out of date, people waving hello in good faith.

Back to Africa, you can find peace of mind and find yourself.

Adventure Island Vanilla

Second leg of our trip is located northwest Nuoxi Bei Falklands Island language in Malaysia, “NSN” is the meaning of the island, “Tony” is a great meaning. “Big Island” small, only 320 square kilometers, a mist-shrouded island of tropical rain forest scene. Island planted with trees from Asia, ylang can be used to extract flavor, so Nuoxi Bei also known as the Island. Madagascar vanilla is the world’s best, buy vanilla, ylang ylang essence is a good souvenir.

Here and now slave market

Nuo Xibei island guardian of Asia, Africa, maritime traffic channels, a variety of ethnic Deere in this intersection. 8th century AD, the Arabs slaves to build its presence here, we visited a small village on the island of Diego Duka, this is the last slave market. 11th century, Indians, Pakistanis came to live here, we visited the graves of their unique, and now the few remaining descendants of India and Pakistan, but they are where the most wealthy people. Modern, Portuguese, Italians come here one after another, and finally Ma Guocheng French colony. We are very surprised that the origin of the island and China as well, when the Russo-Japanese war intensified, the Russians sent the European fleet to provide support, the time when the Dano West, Port Arthur has been captured by the Japanese news, the fleet was forced to stay in the ground, high temperature, plague and long-distance fatigue and destroyed the fleet, leaving only those in the local Russian military cemetery.

The end of the “Big Island” of the journey the next day we took more than 40 minutes speedboat to the “island” (NSN Khampa) visit. This tiny island is called Lemur Island, the last pass in the Forest Park and lemurs, this time we have to come to a close contact with them. We climbed the mountain with the tour guide, stopped under a tree, we looked up and saw a large group of lemurs lived in the original tree. Tour guide holding the banana in his mouth, kept on crying “MAKI, MAKI”, which is called the locals lemur, a lemur will have a black temptation to test the down, then a golden lemurs down, who was also carrying its little baby! Clearly informed of these lemurs, and even climbed to the tourists back to eat bananas. Tour guide told us that the black lemur is male, golden female, they are still in the matrilineal society, the words of a mother and all things.
