Chapter 5

"We're finally going to Chengdu!" Li Xiao waved the air ticket in his hand excitedly, and his eyes were shining with expectation.

Yu Wen smiled and tidied up his backpack: "Yes, I can't wait to see the cute giant panda and try the authentic Sichuan cuisine."

Zhang Qin was carefully checking the travel guide and muttering: "We have to experience the essence of Chengdu."

The three of them embarked on a journey with infinite longing for Chengdu. As soon as they got off the plane, the humid air and lively atmosphere of Chengdu came to their faces. The streets and alleys were filled with spicy and fragrant smell, making people instantly immersed in the unique charm of this city.

At the first stop, they arrived at the Chengdu giant panda breeding research base. As soon as they entered the park, they saw many tourists holding cameras and looking for pandas with anticipation. Li Xiao ran in front of them excitedly like a child: "Hurry up, let's go and see Ganggu! I heard that the newborn panda baby is so cute."

In the giant panda sun delivery room, they saw a few cute panda cubs lying on the ground and sleeping soundly. From time to time, they moved their little paws, which were very cute. Yu Wen couldn't help but take out his phone and took photos wildly: "This is so cute. I want to post these photos on WeChat Moments and I'm so greedy for them."

Zhang Qin smiled and said, "Don't just take photos, and feel the cute atmosphere."

Then, they went to the adult giant panda villa and saw a few giant pandas eating bamboo leisurely, some rolling on the ground to play, looking very comfortable. Li Xiao sighed: "No wonder so many people like pandas, they are so healing."

After leaving the panda base, they went to Du Fu Thatched Cottage. When they stepped into the thatched Cottage, the quiet environment and strong cultural atmosphere made people feel like they had traveled back to the ancient times. The Grand Court, the Poetry and History Hall, and the Ministry of Works of China came into view one by one, and each building carries the memory of history.

In the Poetry and History Hall, looking at Du Fu's statue and his poems, Li Xiao couldn't help but recite: "The country is broken and the mountains and rivers are everywhere, and the city is spring and the grass is deep. When I feel the flowers shed tears, I hate the birds who are farewell."

Yu Wen continued: "It's really amazing that Du Fu has left so many classic works here."

Zhang Qin looked at the exhibition introduction carefully to learn about Du Fu's life experience in Chengdu.

After visiting Du Fu's Thatched Cottage, it was getting late and their stomachs began to roar. So the three of them came to a lively snack street and prepared to taste authentic Chengdu food. The streets were lined with various snack stalls, dragon hand, dandan noodles, Zhongshui Dumplings, Bobo Chicken, etc., and the fragrance was everywhere.

Li Xiao pointed to a Longchao Shou Shop and said, "This one, I have heard of Longchao Shou's name for a long time."

After ordering a portion of Long Zhuozhao and Dandan noodles, Li Xiao couldn't wait to taste Long Zhuozhao. The skin was thin and the filling was tender, and the soup was delicious. He gave a thumbs up: "It's so delicious, it tastes amazing!"

Yu Wen also ate Dandan noodles and praised it: "This noodles are thin, crispy and fragrant, salty, fresh and slightly spicy. It is truly a famous snack in Chengdu."

Zhang Qin carefully savored Zhongshui Dumplings, which were slightly sweet and salty, spicy and had a unique flavor.

After eating and drinking, they walked around the snack street and saw many exquisite Shu embroidery and special crafts. Shu embroidery is colorful, delicate in needlework, and lifelike patterns, which makes people love it. Li Xiao chose a Shu embroidery with a panda pattern and prepared to take it back to give it to his family: "This Shu embroidery is so beautiful, take it back to be a souvenir."

Yu Wen also bought some postcards and trinkets with Chengdu characteristics. Zhang Qin had a special liking for an exquisite bamboo craft.

With a lot of harvest and satisfaction, they returned to the hotel to accumulate energy for the next day's itinerary. On this day, they felt the loveliness of nature and the richness of history and culture in Chengdu, and also tasted delicious food, and were full of more expectations for the next journey.

Farewell to Chengdu, the three of them embarked on a journey to Chongqing. As soon as they entered Chongqing, the unique mountain city style came to their faces. Layered buildings were built along the mountains, and the roads were winding, as if they were in a three-dimensional maze.

"This Chongqing is indeed well-known, with slopes and slopes everywhere." Li Xiao said breathlessly while climbing the slope.

Yu Wen smiled and patted Li Xiao on the shoulder: "This is the characteristic of Chongqing, it is interesting to climb the hill."

Zhang Qin looked at the surrounding buildings excitedly: "Every place feels like a scene in a movie, it feels so atmosphere."

Their first stop was Liziba Light Rail Station, to experience the magical "light rail through the building". Standing on the viewing platform, tourists took out their mobile phones and waited for the moment when the light rail penetrated the building. After a while, the light rail slowly drove over and passed through the building steadily amid the amazement of everyone. Li Xiao shouted excitedly: "Wow, it's so amazing. The first time I saw the light rail passing through the building."

Yu Wen was also busy taking photos: "This picture must be recorded and you can show off to your friends when you go back."

Zhang Qin smiled and said, "It feels like a scene in a science fiction movie. Chongqing's transportation is so creative."

Then, they arrived at Hongya Cave. When night fell, Hongya Cave was brightly lit, just like the world of Qian and Qianxun in Miyazaki animation, which was beautiful. The layers of stilt houses exude a simple and mysterious atmosphere against the backdrop of the lights. There are a wide range of specialty shops on the streets, and tourists shuttle through them, making them lively.

Li Xiao was shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of him: "This is too beautiful, it feels like traveling to an ancient mountain city."

Yu Wen sighed: "No wonder so many people must come to Hongya Cave when they come to Chongqing. This night view is simply amazing."

Zhang Qin pulled them excitedly: "Let's go in and check out what's fun."

Walking into Hongya Cave, it is full of the "stilt house" with traditional architectural characteristics of Bayu, and it is quaint. They shuttled across the floors, enjoying exquisite handicrafts and special souvenirs. Li Xiao took a fancy to a folding fan with Chongqing characteristics, with the night view of Hongya Cave drawn on it: "This folding fan is so beautiful, buy it as a souvenir."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yu Wen loves a small Three Gorges Stone Ornament: "This Three Gorges Stone is also good, it has a very Chongqing flavor."

Tired of walking, the three of them came to a hot pot restaurant and prepared to taste the authentic Chongqing hot pot. The store was filled with a strong spicy aroma, which made people salivate. When the bottom of the pot was served, the red butter was rolling in the pot, and the aroma of chili and pepper was thrust into the pot.

Li Xiao looked at the red oil in the pot and said with some concern: "This looks too spicy, can I do it?"

Yu Wen patted his chest: "How can I not eat spicy food when I come to Chongqing? Don't worry, you will fall in love with this smell in a while."

Zhang Qin smiled and said, "If it really doesn't work, let's order a little spicy."

They ordered various special ingredients such as tripe, duck intestines, tender beef, etc. The tripe became crispy and tender immediately. Li Xiao dipped it in the seasoning and put it in her mouth. Although it was so spicy that it was so spicy that it was breathable, she couldn't help but praise it: "It's so delicious, this tripe is crispy and fragrant, and this is so spicy that it's so spicy."

Yu Wen also ate it and his face turned red: "Yes, this is the soul of Chongqing hotpot. Try this duck intestine again."

After eating hot pot, they went to watch the Sichuan Opera face-changing performance. On the stage, the actors dressed in gorgeous costumes and performed wonderful Sichuan Opera songs. Suddenly, the actor turned around and the face on his face changed instantly. The audience in the audience exclaimed. Li Xiao's eyes widened: "This is so amazing, how did he do it?"

Yu Wen said: "This is the unique skill of Sichuan opera, and the actors have gone through a long period of training."

Zhang Qin was deeply attracted by the actor's wonderful performance: "This face change is so shocking, it is truly the charm of traditional culture."

After the performance, they were still unsatisfied. Walking on the streets of Chongqing, they tasted special snacks such as spicy chicken, spicy and sour noodles. The spicy chicken chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the aroma of chili was completely integrated into it, making people feel endless aftertaste. The spicy and sour noodles were sour and sour, and the vermicelli was chewy, making people want to eat it after eating it.

In the specialty store, they bought specialties such as Fuling pickles, hot pot base, Jiangjin rice candy, etc. Fuling pickles have a crispy and tender taste and are delicious, making them an excellent side dish on the dining table. The hot pot base is the soul of Chongqing hot pot. You can cook authentic Chongqing hot pot at home at any time when you take it back. Jiangjin rice candy is sweet and crispy, and is a snack suitable for all ages and young.

Li Xiao carried a bag of specialties: "This time I came to Chongqing to get a lot of harvest. I will definitely like these specialties when I brought them back."

Yu Wen smiled and said, "Yes, Chongqing is such a good place, with delicious food, beautiful scenery and culture, which are unforgettable."

Zhang Qin looked at the lively streets: "Where are we going next stop? I am really looking forward to traveling to the next city."

After leaving Chongqing, the three of them came to the beautiful coastal city of Xiamen with their yearning for the sea. As soon as they got off the plane, the fresh sea breeze blew over them, and the air was filled with a faint smell of sea water, which made people feel particularly comfortable.

"I finally arrived in Xiamen. The sea breeze is so comfortable." Li Xiao took a deep breath and felt the unique atmosphere of Xiamen.

Yu Wen smiled and said, "Yes, I heard that Xiamen has many beautiful islands and romantic beaches, so I have to have fun this time."

Zhang Qin looked around excitedly: "I can't wait to go to Gulangyu and experience that literary and romantic world."

They first came to Gulangyu and boarded this small island full of literary atmosphere by ferry. The island is covered with green trees, European-style buildings and Minnan-style houses intertwined, like a beautiful picture.

Walking on the streets of Gulangyu, Li Xiao was attracted by the music from a small shop on the roadside: "The music in this shop is so good, go in and take a look."

The three of them walked into the store and it turned out to be a music-themed coffee shop, which was filled with various musical instruments and vinyl records. The boss greeted them enthusiastically: "Welcome to visit, take a look, you can order any music you want to listen to."

Li Xiao chose Jay Chou's vinyl record, and the melodious music sounded. The three of them sat by the window, enjoying the street view outside the window, which was very comfortable.

Yu Wen looked at the building outside the window and said, "The architectural style of Gulangyu is really unique, and each building looks like a story."

Zhang Qin nodded in agreement: "And there is a literary atmosphere everywhere here, and any shot is a blockbuster."

Then, they arrived at Sun Rock, which is the highest peak of Gulangyu Island. They climbed up along the steep steps. Although they were a little panting, the three of them were full of expectations. Finally, they reached the top of the mountain and overlooked the entire Gulangyu Island and the XM city area. The beautiful scenery was in full view. The blue sea, white sand beach, and red roofs formed a beautiful picture.

Li Xiao shouted excitedly: "It's so beautiful, the scenery is simply intoxicating."

Yu Wen was also busy taking photos: "You must take a few more pictures of this scenery, it's so shocking."

Zhang Qin sighed: "Standing here, I feel that all my worries have disappeared."

From Riguang Rock, they strolled in the alleys of Gulangyu and found many specialty shops. Some sell handmade jewelry, some sell specialty postcards, and some sell creative souvenirs. Li Xiao took a fancy to a shell necklace in a handmade jewelry store: "This necklace is so beautiful, Zhang Qin, I'll give it to you."

Zhang Qin took the necklace and said happily: "Thank you, I like it so much, this shell is so exquisite."

Yu Wen also bought some postcards with Gulangyu characteristics and prepared to send them to friends far away.

When they were tired of shopping, they came to a seafood restaurant and prepared to taste authentic Xiamen seafood. They ordered steamed grouper, white scalloped shrimp, oyster fried and other special dishes. The meat of steamed grouper is tender and original; the white scalloped shrimp is sweet and delicious, and the shrimp meat is firm; the oyster fried is even more fragrant, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Li Xiao ate the oyster fried and praised it: "The oyster fried is so delicious. The oysters are fresh and big. With eggs and sweet potato powder, the taste is absolutely amazing."

Yu Wen also ate the shrimp and said, "The shrimp is so fresh and tastes so sweet."

Zhang Qin smiled and said, "Xiamen's seafood is indeed well-deserved, and it's so satisfying."

The next day, they rode along the ring road and admired the seaside scenery along the way. The blue sky, white clouds, sea and beach formed a beautiful seaside picture. They stopped to take pictures, and sometimes walked on the beach, feeling the delicate sand and the warm sunshine.

At Huangcuo Beach, they saw many people playing beach volleyball and surfing. Li Xiao looked at the surfing people and was a little moved: "I also want to try surfing, it feels so exciting."

Yu Wen smiled and said, "Okay, let's go together and just have a try."

Under the guidance of the coach, the two put on surfboards and began to try surfing. Although they were a little uncomfortable at the beginning, they gradually mastered the skills and galloped on the waves and felt the fun of surfing. Zhang Qin cheered for them on the beach and recorded this wonderful moment with a camera.

When they were tired of playing, they lay on the beach chairs, drank cold coconut juice, and enjoyed their leisure time.

In the evening, they came to Zengcuoan, which is a famous snack street in Xiamen, full of various special snacks and delicacies. Shacha noodles, peanut soup, earthen bamboo jelly, roasted pork dumplings, etc., with a fragrance all over the place.
