In the evening, they came to Hongya Cave. From a distance, Hongya Cave was brightly lit, like a dreamy castle. It was built against the mountains, and the layers of stilt houses looked particularly spectacular against the lights, as if it was a world that came out of Miyazaki's animation.

Zhang Yuedong shouted excitedly: "This is simply shocking! I didn't expect that there is such a beautiful place in reality, just like the scene in a fairy tale."

Li Xiao was also deeply attracted by the beautiful scene in front of him. He said: "This is the charm of Chongqing. The unique architectural style and dazzling night view make people intoxicated."

They walked into Hongya Cave and seemed to have traveled back to the ancient town of Bayu. The ancient streets and a wide range of shops were full of rich folk customs. The streets were crowded with people, and tourists took out their mobile phones to take photos as souvenirs, hoping to record this beautiful moment.

Lin Yifei kept pressing the shutter and said, "Every corner here is so beautiful, no matter how you take it, I can't take it enough. I want to post these photos on WeChat so that everyone can see the beauty of Chongqing."

They walked along the street and admired the surrounding buildings and scenery. The buildings in Hongya Cave adopt a piercing-type pure mortise and tenon structure, showing the superb skills of ancient craftsmen. Each stilt house has a unique decoration and layout, which makes people feel the profound heritage of Bayu culture.

Walking to the viewing platform of Hongya Cave, they overlooked the night view of the Jialing River. The river surface was sparkling, and ships came and went, and the lights on the other side were reflected in the river water, forming a beautiful picture.

Li Xiao sighed: "Standing here and looking at the beautiful scenery in front of me, I finally understood why Chongqing is called the '8D Magic City'. The mountains and rivers here are interdependent, the buildings are arranged in an orderly manner, and the night view is even more beautiful, making people feel like they are in a dreamy world."

Zhang Yuedong also nodded in agreement: "Yes, this unique urban landscape is hard to see in other places. Chongqing is really a city full of surprises, and every place is eye-catching."

They spent a wonderful night in Hongya Cave, immersed in this dreamy beauty, and felt the unique charm of Chongqing.

After coming out of Hongya Cave, their stomachs were already roaring. Li Xiao suggested: "Let's go and eat Chongqing hotpot. This is a must-eat food in Chongqing and try the authentic spicy taste."

Zhang Yuedong and Lin Yifei agreed. So they came to an old hot pot restaurant recommended by locals. As soon as they walked into the store, the rich smell of hot pot came to their noses, making people salivate.

The decoration in the store is full of Chongqing characteristics, with wooden tables and chairs, old photos hanging on the walls, and enthusiastic waiters, which makes people feel particularly friendly.

The waiter warmly greeted them, arranged seats for them, and handed them over the menu. Zhang Yuedong looked at the menu and smiled and said, "The dishes here are so rich, with all kinds of ingredients, and there are many special snacks. Today we have to try them and eat the essence of Chongqing hot pot into our stomachs."

They ordered a classic butter bottom of the pan, and ordered various special dishes such as tripe, duck intestines, yellow throat, tender beef, crispy meat and other specialties. After a while, the bottom of the pan was served. A pot of bright red soup was seen, with a thick layer of butter and chili floating on it, emitting a strong fragrance, which made people couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw it.

Li Xiao couldn't wait to put the tripe into the pot and rinse it according to the "seven up and eight down" formula. After a while, the tripe became cooked. He picked up the tripe and put it in his mouth. Suddenly, the spicy taste spread in his mouth. The crisp and tender taste of the tripe makes people feel aftertaste. "It's so delicious! This tripe is simply the soul of hot pot, it's crisp and tender, and it's spicy and satisfying." Li Xiao praised it endlessly.

Zhang Yuedong also rinsed a duck intestine. He said, "Duck intestine is also a must-order dish in Chongqing hot pot. If you want to eat it, eat fresh duck intestines, which tastes so good." As he said that, he put the duck intestines into the pot, rinsed it a few times quickly, then picked it up, put it in a dipping bowl, wrapped it with a layer of sesame oil and garlic paste, and put it in his mouth. "Well, this duck intestine is crisp and smooth, spicy and fragrant, and it is simply too delicious." Zhang Yuedong said contentedly.

Lin Yifei had a special liking for tender beef. He put the beef in the pot, cooked it for a while, then picked it up and put it in his mouth. The beef was tender and juicy, melted in the mouth, and the spicy taste made people unable to stop. "This beef is too tender and delicious to stop." Lin Yifei said while eating.

They also ordered some special snacks, such as crispy meat, brown sugar glutinous rice cake, etc. The crispy meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a strong aroma, which makes it particularly satisfying to taste; brown sugar glutinous rice cake is soft, glutinous and sweet, with a delicate taste, making it a good product to relieve spicy taste.

During the hot pot, they were sweating profusely, but they were so excited. Lin Yifei wiped the sweat and said, "This is so spicy! I have never eaten such a spicy hot pot, but it is really delicious and makes people unable to stop."

Zhang Yuedong also smiled and said, "This is the charm of Chongqing hot pot. The more spicy the one, the more you want to eat it, the more satisfying it is. Moreover, when eating Chongqing hot pot, you must be accompanied by ice beer, which is what you want to enjoy." As he said that, he picked up a bottle of ice beer and took a sip.

They were eating hot pot while chatting, feeling the unique charm of Chongqing hot pot. In this lively atmosphere, they experienced the enthusiasm and generousness of Chongqing people, and also gained a deeper understanding of the city's food culture.

After eating hot pot, they came to a theater and prepared to watch Sichuan opera performances. Sichuan opera is a traditional opera genre in Sichuan region with unique artistic charm, and Sichuan opera face-changing is one of the most representative skills in Sichuan opera.

Li Xiao said: "Civilized face change has always been mysterious. I am particularly curious about how the actors changed their faces instantly. Today I finally had the opportunity to witness it with my own eyes."

Zhang Yuedong also expressed his expectations: "Yes, I heard that Sichuan Opera's face-changing skills are very superb, and the actors' movements are as fast as lightning, which makes people dizzy. I can't wait to see them."

The actor was dressed in gorgeous costumes, with exquisite facials on his face, dancing on the stage. Suddenly, he turned around, and the facials on his face changed instantly, from red to black, and the audience in the audience immediately exclaimed a burst of marvel.

Li Xiao stared at the stage without turning his eyes, guessing curiously about the skills of changing faces. He said, "This is too fast, I didn't see clearly how he changed. Could it be that he used some special props?"

Zhang Yuedong was also fascinated by the view. He said: "I think this is not just a matter of props, but the actors' movements and techniques are also very critical. They must have been able to be so proficient after a long period of training."

As the performance progresses, the actors constantly change their faces, and their speeds get faster and faster, making people dazzled. Every time they change their faces, they will arouse applause and cheers from the audience.

Lin Yifei was busy recording this wonderful moment with his camera. He said: "These faces are so beautiful, each of which represents different characters and emotions. The actors vividly present these characters in front of us through changing their faces. It's really amazing."

At the end of the performance, the actor invited several audiences to interact on stage. After one audience member took stage, the actor quickly changed his face in front of him, which scared the audience backwards repeatedly, causing the audience to laugh.

After the performance, they were still immersed in the artistic atmosphere of Sichuan Opera and were reluctant to leave for a long time. This Sichuan Opera performance made them feel the profoundness of traditional culture and gave them a deeper understanding of the unique skill of Sichuan Opera changing faces.

After watching the Sichuan Opera performance, they came to Ciqikou Ancient Town. Ciqikou is a famous ancient town in Chongqing. It has a long history and rich cultural heritage. There are many Chongqing specialties and handicrafts here.

Li Xiao said: "When you come to Chongqing, you must bring some specialties back to your family and friends. There are many types of specialties here in Ciqikou, and you can definitely choose the right one."

Each flavor has its own unique flavor." Finally, he bought a large bag of mohua of different flavors and prepared to take it back to share with his family and friends.

Then, they came to a shop selling weird-flavored beans. Strange-flavored beans are one of Chongqing's special snacks, which combines hemp, spicy, sweet, salty, fresh and crispy, with a rich taste and endless aftertaste.

They not only enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Hongya Cave, tasted the deliciousness of Chongqing hotpot, watched the wonderful performance of Sichuan Opera face-changing, but also purchased many Chongqing specialties. They knew that this charming city had left a deep mark in their hearts.

After leaving Chongqing, they took a plane to Xiamen. As soon as they got off the plane, the fresh sea breeze blew over, with a faint smell of the sea, as if they were welcoming them warmly.

Li Xiao took a deep breath and said excitedly: "I finally arrived in Xiamen, a coastal city full of romantic atmosphere. I can't wait to go to Gulangyu."

Zhang Yuedong responded with a smile: "Yes, I heard that Gulangyu has many exotic buildings, as well as beautiful beaches and melodious piano sounds, which is simply a paradise for literary youth."

Lin Yifei was also full of expectations: "And there are many specialty shops on Gulangyu Island, and you will definitely find a lot of good things."

They took a ferry to Gulangyu. As soon as they stepped on this land, they were attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of them. The sun shone on the ancient buildings, casting mottled light and shadow, as if telling the history of the island.

They stroll along the winding alleys and admire buildings with different styles on both sides. These buildings combine elements of Chinese and Western culture, some are Gothic spires, some are Baroque carvings, and some are traditional red brick ancient houses in southern Fujian. Each one is unique and dazzling.

As they walked, they came to Bagua Tower. This building is famous for its unique shape and rich historical and cultural connotations. Its roof is octagonal and is decorated with exquisite carvings on its eight corners. From a distance, it looks like a huge Bagua Tower, hence the name "Bgua Tower".

They walked into the Bagua Tower, where there were various organs displayed. These organs came from all over the world, with exquisite shapes and melodious tones. Lin Yifei was particularly interested in these organs. He kept taking photos and asked the staff about the history and how to play the organ.
