Early the next morning, the three of them arrived at the ancient city wall of Xi'an. This is one of the largest and most complete ancient city walls in China, and is also a landmark building in Xi'an.

Standing under the city wall, Li Xiao looked up at the tall city wall, his heart full of awe: "This city wall is too spectacular, I really can't imagine how the ancients built it."

Zhang Yuedong smiled and said, "This is the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people in ancient times. After hundreds of years of storms, it still stands tall. It's amazing."

Lin Yifei said excitedly: "Let's go up as soon as possible. I heard that riding on the city wall feels great."

So they arrived at the entrance of the city wall, bought tickets, rented three bicycles, and started their city wall cycling journey.

The road on the city wall was wide enough to allow two cars to run in parallel. They rode their bicycles and walked slowly along the city wall, enjoying the beautiful scenery inside and outside the city wall.

Inside the city wall is the ancient city of Xi'an, with blue bricks and gray tiles staggered and full of historical charm; outside the city wall is a modern city with high-rise buildings and bustling traffic, showing the prosperity and vitality of Xi'an.

Li Xiao said with emotion: "Cycling on this city wall can not only feel the historical heritage of Xi'an, but also see its modern style. This feeling of blending ancient and modern times is really wonderful."

Zhang Yuedong also nodded in agreement: "Yes, the city of Xi'an is really charming, with a profound historical culture and vigorous development vitality."

Lin Yifei smiled and said, "This trip is really worth it. We went to so many fun places, tasted so many delicious food, and felt the cultural charm of different cities."

During the ride, they stopped from time to time to take photos. Their laughter and joy were left in every corner of the city wall.

Before they knew it, the sun was gradually setting west, and they also ended their journey to ride the city walls. Although they were a little tired, their faces were filled with satisfying smiles.

"Today, I've been having a lot of life." Li Xiao stretched and said.

Zhang Yuedong also smiled and said, "Yes, we will go to the Terracotta Warriors tomorrow. I heard that there is even more shocking, and it is really exciting."

Lin Yifei said excitedly: "Okay, I can't wait to see those mysterious Terracotta Warriors."

The three of them were talking, walking towards the hotel, looking forward to tomorrow's journey.

After saying goodbye to Xi'an, the three of them took a plane to the charming Chengdu. This city, known for its delicious food and leisurely life, made them full of expectations.

As soon as they arrived in Chengdu, they headed straight to Jinli Ancient Street. When night fell, the lights came up, and Jinli Ancient Street was like a gorgeous painting unfolding in front of them. Big red lanterns hung high, and the lanterns under the slightly blue sky exuded a warm halo, which contrasted with the afterglow of the sunset, forming a beautiful painting.

Li Xiao said excitedly: "Wow, this Jinli Ancient Street is so beautiful, it feels like traveling back to the ancient times."

Zhang Yuedong also nodded and praised: "Yes, the atmosphere is simply amazing. Looking at this stone archway, it looks even more grand under the light and shadow."

Lin Yifei was busy taking photos, saying while taking photos: "In such a beautiful place, you must take more photos to keep them as a souvenir."

They walked slowly along the ancient street, and the antique buildings on both sides of the street were scattered, including teahouses, theaters, wine shops, handicraft stalls, and food shops, which were very lively. In the square in front of the ancient stage, the ancient stage with the lights on the first place gave people a sense of ancient and solemn shock. Through the ancient stage and entering the core area of ​​Jinli Ancient Street, the street became narrower, like an alley, but more charming as an ancient street.

Li Xiao looked at everything around him curiously and asked, "What did this Jinli Ancient Street do before?"

Zhang Yuedong checked his mobile phone and replied: "It is said that Jinli was once one of the oldest and most commercial streets in the history of Western Shu. It was famous throughout the country as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties. Today, Jinli is made with folk houses in western Sichuan in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties as its outerwear, and the Three Kingdoms culture and Chengdu folk customs are connotations, integrating tourism, shopping, leisure and entertainment, and is known as the "No. 1 Street in Western Shu".

Lin Yifei sighed: "I didn't expect that this small ancient street has such a profound historical heritage."

They were walking around the ancient street, admiring various exquisite handicrafts, and feeling the traditional culture of Chengdu. Suddenly, a melodious music sounded, and they walked along the sound and found that it was a teahouse performing a Sichuan opera face change.

The three of them walked into the teahouse, found a seat to sit down, ordered a few cups of tea, and watched the performance on the stage intently. The actors were dressed in gorgeous costumes, and the facial makeup on their faces changed instantly, which was dazzling and amazing.

Li Xiao couldn't help but clap his hands and applauded: "This Sichuan opera changes faces are so magical, they change in seconds!"

Zhang Yuedong also said: "Yes, this is the unique skill of Sichuan opera. I have only watched it on TV before, but today I saw it with my own eyes. It's so satisfying."

Lin Yifei smiled and said, "In this quaint teahouse, drinking a bowl of tea and watching Sichuan opera change their faces, this is the real life in Chengdu."

After watching the performance, they continued to stroll in the ancient street. At this time, night had completely fallen, and the lights of Jinli Ancient Street were brilliant, like dreams. The winding courtyards, streets and alleys echoed the water banks, lakes, lotus ponds, and stone bridges, and the water waves and lights were a unique artistic conception.

Li Xiao said with emotion: "The night view of this Jinli Ancient Street is so beautiful, and every place feels like a painting."

Zhang Yuedong nodded in agreement: "Yes, today is really worth the trip. Let's go and have something delicious."

Speaking of Chengdu’s delicacies, hot pot is absolutely essential. The three of them came to a famous local hot pot restaurant and prepared to taste the authentic Chengdu hot pot.

As soon as I walked into the hot pot restaurant, the rich spicy aroma came to my nose, making their saliva almost flow out. The waiter greeted them warmly, took them to the seat, and handed them on the menu.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhang Yuedong looked at the menu and said excitedly: "Wow, there are so many dishes here, such as tripe, duck intestines, spicy beef, snowflake fat beef... I want to eat everything."

Li Xiao also smiled and said, "Don't be polite, open it a little. You must try this authentic Chengdu hotpot today."

Lin Yifei reminded: "But Chengdu hot pot is very spicy, let's take it easy and don't wait to be too spicy to bear it."

After a while, the bottom of the pot was brought up. I saw that the pot was full of red oil, with a layer of pepper and pepper floating on it, which made people feel excited.

Zhang Yuedong couldn't wait to put the tripe into the pot, and said while rinsing it, "This tripe has to be up and down, so it will be crispy and delicious when it comes out."

Li Xiao and Lin Yifei also imitated him and put the tripe into the pot and started to rinse it. Sure enough, the rinse tripe tasted crispy and tender, and the spicy and fragrant taste spread in their mouths, making people unable to stop.

"It's so delicious!" Li Xiao said while eating, "This Chengdu hot pot is indeed well-known, and the spicy taste is so strong."

Zhang Yuedong also nodded and praised: "Yes, this is the real hot pot. It will definitely be good to try this duck intestine again."

As he said that, he put the duck intestines into the pot and started to rinse them. After rinsing the duck intestines in the pot for a few times, they became curled. He quickly took them out, put them in the dipping sauce, and then put them in his mouth.

"Well~ This duck intestine is too tender, the taste is tight and elastic, so delicious!" Zhang Yuedong praised.

Then, they tasted spicy beef, snowflake fat beef, thousand-layer beef and other dishes, each of which made them feel endless aftertaste. The spicyness of the hot pot made their foreheads covered with sweat, but they were having a lot of fun and said they were enjoying it.

Li Xiao took a sip of ice cola, relieved the spicy taste in his mouth, and said, "Today's hot pot is the most satisfying one I've ever eaten."

Lin Yifei also smiled and said, "Yes, the charm of Chengdu hotpot is so great. I feel like I have fallen in love with this spicy feeling."

Zhang Yuedong joked: "Then we can come to Chengdu to eat hot pot often from now on."

While eating hot pot, the three of them shared what they saw and heard in Jinli Ancient Street today, and laughter echoed in the hot pot restaurant.

After eating hot pot, they learned that a folk activity was being held in the nearby square, so they decided to join in the fun.

As soon as we arrived at the square, we were infected by the lively atmosphere. The square was crowded with people wearing colorful costumes and smiling happily. On the stage, the actors were performing wonderful programs, including dragon and lion dance, Sichuan opera face change, acrobatic performances, etc. The audience in the audience occasionally cheered.

Zhang Yuedong said excitedly: "This folk activity is too lively, it feels even more lively than the New Year."

Li Xiao also nodded in agreement: "Yes, this is the real folk culture. Let's go and see what else is fun."

They were walking around the square and saw many interesting folk games, such as Cuju, throwing pots, guessing riddles, etc. They couldn't help but participate and experience the entertainment methods of the ancients.

At the Cuju venue, Li Xiao and Zhang Yuedong were divided into two teams and played Cuju game with other tourists. They ran on the field, passed the ball, and shot the goal. Although their skills were not very good, they had a very happy time.

Lin Yifei became a cheerleader on the side and cheered for them: "Come on, Li Xiao, Zhang Yuedong, shoot!"

After the game, although their team lost, everyone had a great time. Li Xiao wiped the sweat from his face and said with a smile: "This Cuju is really interesting. I didn't expect the ancients' sports to be so interesting."

Zhang Yuedong also panted and said, "Yes, I really had a lot of fun today. Let's go play with the pot."

They came to the pitching site, and the staff explained the rules and techniques of pitching the pot. The three of them picked up the arrows, aimed at the mouth of the pot, and threw them hard. Although they were not very accurate at the beginning, after several attempts, they gradually mastered the skills and made more and more shots.

Lin Yifei said excitedly: "I made a shot, I made a shot! This shot is quite challenging."

Li Xiao and Zhang Yuedong were also happy for him: "It's not bad, Lin Yifei, keep cheering!"

After playing with the pot, they went to guess riddles again. Under the colorful lanterns, there were notes full of puzzles. They were in groups of three or five, either stopping to meditate or discussing lively. These puzzles were full of literary charm and fun in life, allowing them to exercise their thinking ability in the process of solving puzzles and deeply feel the profoundness of traditional culture.

Li Xiao looked at a riddle and thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "I understand, the answer to this riddle is 'flower'."

Zhang Yuedong and Lin Yifei looked at the riddle and thought it made sense: "Yes, it's the 'flower'. Li Xiao, you are so awesome!"

After guessing a few riddles correctly, they won some small prizes. Although the prizes were not expensive, they were very happy.

After playing in the square for a long time, they left satisfied. When they returned to the hotel, although they were a little tired, they were in a particularly comfortable mood. They lay in bed, savoring the experience of this day and looking forward to tomorrow's journey.

After the trip to Chengdu, the three of them embarked on the return journey. Sitting on the return plane, Li Xiao looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, feeling a lot of emotion.

"This trip was really unforgettable." Li Xiao broke the silence, "I went to so many places, saw so many beautiful scenery, tasted various delicacies, and experienced different cultures."

Zhang Yuedong also nodded in agreement: "Yes, along the way, I feel that my horizons have broadened a lot. Every city has its unique charm, BJ's historical heritage, Xi'an's ancient capital style, and Chengdu's leisure and comfort are all endless aftertastes."

Lin Yifei smiled and said, "I also met many interesting people and heard many interesting stories. These will become precious treasures in our lives."

Looking back on every little thing in various cities, their faces were filled with happy smiles. The red walls and yellow tiles in the Forbidden City, the magnificence of the Terracotta Warriors and the bustling ancient streets of Jinli, these scenes emerged one by one in their minds like movies.

"This trip also gave me new inspiration for writing." Li Xiao said excitedly, "I can't wait to write all these experiences into the novel."

Zhang Yuedong joked: "Then you have to write it well and write our travel experience a little more exciting, and maybe it can become a bestseller!"

Everyone was amused. Amid the laughter, they also felt a hint of parting. This trip not only allowed them to appreciate the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland, but also made their friendship deeper.

"I really hope I will have the opportunity to travel together in the future." Lin Yifei said with emotion.

Li Xiao and Zhang Yuedong nodded one after another: "It will definitely be! The world is so big, and there are still many places waiting for us to explore."
