As they walked, they came to a shop selling Zhuang brocade. Zhuang brocade is a traditional handicraft of the Zhuang people, famous for its bright colors and exquisite patterns. The shop is filled with various Zhuang brocade products, including scarves, handkerchiefs, wall hangings, clothing, etc. Each piece shows the wisdom and superb skills of the Zhuang people. Li Xiao chose a brightly colored Zhuang brocade scarf, wrapped it around his neck, looked at it in the mirror, and said with a smile: "This scarf is so beautiful, it can be used as an ornament, and can be kept as a souvenir."

Zhang Yuedong also bought some braised handkerchiefs and prepared to give them to relatives and friends. "These handkerchiefs are very distinctive, and they will definitely like them when given to friends."

Lin Yifei had a special liking for a Zhuang brocade wall hanging. He carefully admired the patterns on the wall hangings. "The pattern of this wall hanging is so exquisite. Every detail shows the cultural characteristics of the Zhuang people. I want to buy it back and hang it at home."

On the West Street, they also bought some other specialties, such as Luohan Fruit, Guilin Chili Sauce, Sanhua Wine, etc. Luohan Fruit is one of Guilin's specialties, which has the effects of clearing heat and moistening the lungs, relieving cough and reducing phlegm, and is a very healthy drink. Guilin Chili Sauce is loved by people for its fresh, spicy and delicious taste, and can be used for seasoning or eating directly. Sanhua Wine is a famous wine in Guilin. The wine is clear and transparent, with a fragrant rice fragrance, soft in the mouth, and a long aftertaste.

As night fell, West Street became more lively. The lights in the bar were flashing and music came one after another, and people relaxed and enjoyed here. The three of them walked into a bar, ordered a few drinks, sat by the window, and enjoyed the night view outside the window. At this time, West Street was brightly lit, people came and went, full of vitality and vitality.

"Today's journey was so wonderful. Not only did I appreciate the beautiful scenery of Guilin's mountains and rivers, but I also tasted various delicacies and bought many special souvenirs." Li Xiao picked up the drink and said with emotion.

Zhang Yuedong also smiled and said, "Yes, Guilin is really an intoxicating place, everything here makes people feel extremely comfortable."

Lin Yifei looked at the night view outside the window, and his heart was filled with beautiful memories of this trip. "This trip will definitely become an unforgettable experience in our lives, and I believe that the subsequent journey will be even more exciting."

After resting in the bar for a while, they came to the performance venue of Impression Liu Sanjie. Impression Liu Sanjie is a large-scale live performance with the background of the Lijiang landscape and the theme of Liu Sanjie's legend. This performance is directed by the famous director Zhang Yimou. Through various artistic forms such as lighting, music, and dance, the story of Liu Sanjie and the landscape culture of Guilin are perfectly integrated, presenting a feast of visual and auditory for the audience.

At the beginning of the performance, a bright moon slowly rose from the water of the Li River, and the moonlight shone on the river, sparkling. With the melodious music, a group of actors dressed in Zhuang costumes slowly walked from the bamboo raft on the river. They sang and danced, singing Liu Sanjie's classic mountain songs. The song echoed among the mountains and rivers, as if leading people into an ancient and mysterious world.

During the performance, the actors showed the traditional culture and living customs of the Zhuang people through wonderful dances and performances. Their movements were beautiful and smooth, and their expressions were vivid and natural, making people feel the enthusiasm and vitality of the Zhuang people. The lighting effects on the stage were also very shocking, and the lights and mountains and rivers complemented each other, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. When the fishing fires lit up on the river surface, the entire river surface was reflected red, and the scene was very spectacular.

"This performance was so shocking, it was really a feast of vision and hearing." Li Xiao was fascinated by the sight and couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Yuedong was also deeply attracted by the performance. "Director Zhang Yimou is really amazing. He perfectly combined Guilin's landscape and Liu Sanjie's story to create such a wonderful performance."

Lin Yifei was immersed in the atmosphere of the performance, "This performance gave me a deeper understanding of Guilin's landscape culture and also made me feel the charm of traditional culture."

After the performance, the three of them left the performance venue with full of emotion and shock. At this time, Yangshuo was already immersed in the night, but their mood could not be calm for a long time. This day's journey gave them a deeper understanding and love for the city of Guilin. With their expectations for tomorrow, they returned to the hotel and prepared to welcome the arrival of a new day.

The literary and artistic time of the door bid farewell to the picturesque Guilin, and the three of them embarked on their journey to Xiamen. Xiamen, this coastal city full of literary and artistic atmosphere, has always been the place they yearn for. On the way to Xiamen, they were full of expectations and imagined the wonderful journey to be launched in this city.

"I heard that Gulangyu in Xiamen is full of literary style and many specialty shops. We must take a good look this time." Li Xiao said excitedly.

Zhang Yuedong responded with a smile: "Yes, and there are beautiful sea views, which is exciting to think about."

Lin Yifei also said expectantly: "I also want to try Xiamen's food. I heard that the Shacha Noodles and Oyster Fried are very delicious."

After arriving in Xiamen, they rested for a while and couldn't wait to go to Gulang Island. Gulang Island, an island known as the "Sea Garden", is located in the southwest corner of Xiamen Island, across the sea from Xiamen Island. The island has a pleasant climate, with spring all year round, no bustling cars and horses, and birds singing and flowers everywhere, like a bright pearl on the sea, embedded in the green waves of the blue sea in Xiamen Bay. There are many buildings of different styles here, enjoying the reputation of "Every Nations Architecture Expo", and it is also the famous "Piano Island" and "Music Island", with a very profound cultural heritage.

The three of them boarded the ferry to Gulangyu Island. As soon as they stepped onto this land, they were attracted by the unique atmosphere here. The fresh sea breeze blows on the face, with a faint smell of the sea, making people feel particularly comfortable. The streets are lined with various styles of buildings, including European villas, Chinese courtyards, and Nanyang-style arcades. Each building has its own unique story and history. They strolled on the streets of Gulangyu Island, admired these beautiful buildings, and felt the unique charm of this island.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! As they walked, they came to Shuzhuang Garden. Shuzhuang Garden was located behind Gulangyu Port and was built in 1913. The owner Lin Erjia, also known as Shuzang, was named after his name. This garden is built on the sea and buried in the sea garden. It is beside the mountains and caves, and it builds stones to repair the mountains. It contrasts with the mountains and waters in the distance, making it a unique seaside garden.

When you walk into Shuzhuang Garden, the first thing you see is an exquisite courtyard. The courtyard is covered with green trees and flowers blooming, full of vitality. On the right side of the courtyard is Meishou Hall, also called "Tan Yingxuan". Because Taiwan was called Yingzhou in ancient times, this means nostalgia. There are curved dikes on both sides of the sea. Whenever there is a tide, you can sit on the dike and lean over to pick up water. On a moonlit night, you can also appreciate the artistic conception of "sucking water in your hands" and "flying mirrors all over your eyes".

"This garden is really beautiful, and every view is full of poetry." Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Yuedong nodded in agreement: "Yes, the architecture and natural landscape here are blended just right, making people feel as if they are in a fairyland."

Then, they came to Renqiu Pavilion. Renqiu Pavilion was built in the lunar year of Renxu and was named after the autumn of Renxu. On its completion, it was the rain that had begun to clear up, and the country was as clear as before. The master took advantage of this good time to invite guests to recite poems, and he also recited the sentence "The sound of the crane across the river is here, but the sound of the flute is there, but I don't believe it is depressed for eight hundred years." Renqiu Pavilion has half water and land, two arches on the east and west, one on the back and the other on the water. Here you can see the mountains and enjoy the sea, the mist and the flowing clouds, the sails and shadows, the gulls and birds, all of which are visible.

After coming out of Renqiu Pavilion, they walked along a winding path and arrived at the Forty-Four Bridge. The Forty-Four Bridge is the main scenic spot in the country, and is named after the master was 44 years old when he built the bridge. There is a gate under this bridge that leads the sea into the park, forming three places, the outer pond and the inner pond, hiding the sea. Because the bridge is twisted and twisted, it lies in the sea, like a dragon swimming. There are Guanyutai, Duyue Pavilion, Qianbo Pavilion, and Duyue Pavilion. There are couplets on the bridge: "The long bridge supports the sea three thousand feet, and the bright moon floats in the sky." On the moon night, sit in the pavilion, watch the bright moon in the sky, and the quiet shadow sinks into the jade, which makes people imagine. The sound of the waves under the moon is as light as whispers, as if talking to people. On the night of the bright moon, it is best to visit this place.

"Standing on this bridge and looking at the sea in front of you is really a good mood." Lin Yifei opened his arms and felt the blowing of the sea breeze.

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Yes, the scenery here is so charming, I want to stay here for a while."

After enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Forty-Four Bridges, they came to Bushan Garden. Bushan Garden implies that mountains and rivers are broken and urgently needed to be repaired. There is a famous Twelve Cave here, which is a chain of artificial caves, like Monkey Cave. Because guests cannot find a way out when entering the cave, it is also called the Vile Cave. The Twelve Cave, namely the Twelve Cave, is named Zi, Chou, Yin,... Wu, and Hai of the earthly branches. The cave rooms are of different sizes and shapes, with paths staggered, circling up and down, and bewildered. The three of them shuttled through the Twelve Caves, as if they were in a mysterious maze, full of fun.

"The twelve cave naivety is really interesting. It feels like playing an adventure game." Zhang Yuedong said with a smile.

Lin Yifei nodded in agreement: "Yes, the design here is so clever that people can't help but want to find out."

After walking out of the twelve caves, they came to Yiaiwulu, which is the yard where the Lin family lived. In the past, they were surrounded by bamboo fences and planted chrysanthemums. While enjoying the "bamboo poultry hut, they were quite content with the situation of the home, so they were called "Yiaiwulu". The architectural style in the yard is simple and elegant, full of life atmosphere.

After visiting Shuzhuang Garden, they came to the Piano Museum. Gulangyu Piano Museum is located in "Tingtaoxuan" in Shuzhuang Garden. It was completed in January 2000. The museum displays more than 40 ancient pianos collected by patriotic overseas Chinese Hu Youyi, including the rare and precious quinox piano, the world's earliest quadrilateral piano and the earliest largest vertical piano, as well as the ancient hand-cranked piano, produced a hundred years ago, and other precious collections such as the pedal automatic playing piano and the eight-pedaled arch piano.

When they walked into the Piano Museum, a strong artistic atmosphere came to their faces. They saw various pianos, each with its own unique history and story. Some pianos were treasured by European aristocratic families, and some were instruments used by famous musicians. These pianos have different shapes, including simple and elegant square pianos, gorgeous and exquisite grand pianos, and small and exquisite vertical pianos. Their production craftsmanship is exquisite, and the carvings and decorations on the piano are breathtaking.

In the museum, they also met a enthusiastic tour guide. The tour guide introduced the history and characteristics of each piano in detail, giving them a deeper understanding of these pianos. The tour guide also told them the story of Mr. Hu Youyi donating these pianos, allowing them to feel his love for music and his deep affection for his hometown.

"These pianos are really precious. Each one carries the memory of history and the soul of music." Li Xiao said with emotion.

Zhang Yuedong also nodded in agreement: "Yes, through these pianos, we seem to be able to travel through time and space and feel the musical charm of different eras."

After visiting the Piano Museum, they continued to walk on Gulangyu. There are many specialty shops here, selling various handicrafts, souvenirs and specialty foods. They walked into a small shop, which was filled with various exquisite shell jewelry, including necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc. Each piece was unique. Li Xiao chose a shell necklace, wore it around his neck, and said with a smile: "This necklace is so beautiful and very memorable."

Zhang Yuedong also bought some shell crafts and prepared to give them to relatives and friends. "These crafts are very distinctive and friends will definitely like them."

Then, they came to a shop selling pies. Xiamen pies are a pie snack made of high-quality flour, lard, and high-quality mung beans. They are a special feature of more than a hundred years in XM City, Fujian Province. Xiamen pies are divided into two types. Sweet pies are made of mung bean paste as the filling, lard and sugar; salty pies are made of diced meat as the filling, lard and white sugar. The pies here are sweet and crispy, moist and cold, with a wide variety of flavors, and are very popular among tourists. They tasted several different flavors of pies, and they all thought the taste was very good, so they bought some to take them back.

On Gulangyu, they also tasted many other delicacies, such as earthen bamboo jelly, roasted pork rice dumplings, peanut soup, etc. Each delicacy has a unique flavor, which makes them enjoy the taste. earthen bamboo jelly is made of boiled star shellac liquid and a special sauce. It has a smooth and delicious taste. The roasted pork rice dumpling contains glutinous rice, mushrooms, pork belly, chestnuts and other ingredients, which are full of aroma and are soft and delicious; the peanut soup is cooked with peanuts, which has a delicate taste, sweet but not greasy.
