Chapter 7

"Hey, Li Xiao, are you sure our trip plan is reliable?" Zhang Yuedong dragged his suitcase while looking at the itinerary on his phone with a suspicious look on his phone.

Li Xiao patted Zhang Yuedong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Old Zhang, just be calm. I have been studying it for several days to ensure that our trip to China will be unforgettable for life!"

Lin Yifei, who was standing beside him, excitedly echoed: "Even if it is, I can't wait to see the beautiful scenery of various cities and taste the delicious food!"

The three of them stood in the airport hall, their eyes full of expectations for this trip. Their first stop was Chengdu, which is known as the "Land of Heavenly Mansion".

As soon as we got off the plane, the humid air and unique urban atmosphere of Chengdu came to our face. "Wow, this is Chengdu, it feels completely different from ours." Lin Yifei took a deep breath and said.

Li Xiao smiled and introduced: "Chengdu is a good place, with many fun places. Let's go to the hotel to put down your luggage first, and go straight to the first attraction - Wuhou Temple."

Wuhou Temple is located in Wuhou District, CD City. It is a temple commemorating heroes of Shu Han such as Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang.

When the three of them stepped into the gate of the Wuhou Temple, they seemed to have traveled back to the Three Kingdoms period in an instant. The ancient buildings and the shady courtyard made them intoxicated.

"Look, this is Zhuge Liang's statue, feather fan and luster. It really feels like planning and winning thousands of miles away." Li Xiao pointed to a tall statue and said.

Zhang Yuedong touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "I used to see Zhuge Liang's story in the book, but now I feel very real when I stand here, as if I can feel that magnificent history."

Lin Yifei kept taking pictures from the side, muttering: "You must take more pictures of such a good view and show off to your friends when you go back."

In the Wuhou Temple, they also saw many inscriptions, with the words on them recording the history and culture of Shu Han. Li Xiao explained the contents of the inscriptions to Zhang Yuedong and Lin Yifei with great interest. The three of them were amazed at the wisdom and cultural heritage of the ancients while listening.

After visiting the Wuhou Temple, their stomachs began to roar. "Let's go and try the food in Chengdu, and I'm almost greedy." Zhang Yuedong said impatiently.

They came to a Sichuan restaurant with a unique characteristic. As soon as they entered the door, the rich spicy aroma came to their noses. "Boss, come a few of your signature dishes." Li Xiao said loudly.

After a while, Sichuan cuisine with all its colors, fragrance and flavor were served on the table. There were spicy and fresh Mapo tofu, red-colored red-cooked pork, and mouth-watering couple lung slices.

"Wow, it looks delicious. I'll try this Mapo tofu first." Lin Yifei picked up a large piece of tofu and put it in his mouth. His face was flushed by the spicy taste. "Hiss... It's so spicy, but it's so delicious!"

Zhang Yuedong also tasted the hot pot meat and praised it: "This taste is so authentic. The Sichuan cuisine I ate in other places before was weak and savored."

Li Xiaoze smiled while eating, saying, "This is the charm of Chengdu cuisine, which makes people unable to stop."

After eating and drinking, they learned that there was a Sichuan opera performance nearby. "Let's go and see Sichuan opera, this is the characteristic culture of Chengdu." Li Xiao suggested.

When they arrived at the performance venue, the three of them found a seat to sit down. After the performance began, the actors' wonderful singing style and unique performance form opened their eyes. Especially the face-changing performance, the actors changed their faces in an instant, which made them stunned.

"This face change is so amazing. How did it be done?" Zhang Yuedong couldn't help but exclaim.

Lin Yifei stared at the stage without blinking and said, "It's so exciting. I've only watched it on TV before, but I didn't expect it to be so shocking when I watched it on the scene."

After the performance, they walked out of the performance venue with unsatisfactory satisfaction. "Chengdu is such a good place, with beautiful scenery, food, and such wonderful cultural performances." Li Xiao sighed.

"Yes, and I heard that Chengdu's specialties are also very famous. Let's go buy some and take them back." Zhang Yuedong said.

So, Lin Yifei, Zhang Yuedong and Li Xiao came to this famous specialty store with anticipation.

As soon as I stepped into the store, a strong atmosphere of regional characteristics came to me. The store was spacious and well-decorated, and the shelves were filled with a wide range of specialties, which was dazzling.

The first thing that catches your eye is the exquisite Shu embroidery works. They are carefully framed and hung on the wall, and exudes a unique artistic charm under the soft light. Lin Yifei walked straight to the Shu embroidery exhibition area, and his eyes were instantly attracted by a Shu embroidery with a panda-themed Shu embroidery.

The panda was cute and had black and white hairs, and her eyes were like two black gems, showing agility and playfulness. Lin Yifei gently picked up the Shu embroidery, his hands trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of surprise and love.

While he looked carefully, he couldn't help but exclaim: "This Shu embroidery is so beautiful. Buying a picture to hang it at home will definitely add a lot of artistic atmosphere to the home." He gently stroked the embroidery, as if he was talking to this delicate needlework, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, showing a satisfied smile.

Next to the Shu embroidery exhibition area are neatly arranged Sichuan tea shelves.

Zhang Yuedong is quite knowledgeable about tea. He walked calmly, shuttled between various tea leaves, picked up a bag of tea from time to time, and leaned close to his nose to smell it. He selected several different varieties of Sichuan tea, including jasmine tea with a strong aroma, green bamboo leaves, and mellow taste of montane nectar. While he selected, he introduced to his companions:

"Sichuan's tea is of excellent quality and has its own characteristics. This jasmine tea has the fragrance of flowers that refreshes the heart; the bamboo leaves are green and refreshing; Mengding nectar is a famous historical tea. Take some tea back and give it to your family to try it, and they will definitely like it." As he said that, he carefully put the selected tea into the shopping basket, with a confident look on his face.

The exquisitely packaged shredded beef shredded with an attractive luster through the transparent plastic bag. Li Xiao walked over quickly, picked up a few packs of shredded beef shredded beef shredded, and said with a smile:

"This one is delicious, you can eat it as a snack when you go back." He tore a small bag, took out a shredded beef, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully. The shredded beef is salty, fragrant and delicious, and it melts into the mouth. The unique flavor instantly spreads in his mouth. While eating, Li Xiao gave a thumbs up and praised it: "Well, it's still the familiar taste, it's so delicious." He took a few more packs and prepared to take them back to share with his friends.

There are many other special products in the store, such as exquisite bamboo crafts, spicy and delicious hot pot base, unique Sichuan sausages, etc. The three of them continued to stroll in the store, and exchanged their views on various specialties from time to time.

Lin Yifei fell in love with a small bamboo panda ornament and planned to give it to his friend as a gift; Zhang Yuedong wandered around the hot pot base area, choosing the most authentic flavor; Li Xiao stopped in front of Sichuan sausages, imagining the scene of using it to cook delicious food after returning home.

With a lot of harvest, they ended their first day of travel in Chengdu. The next day, they embarked on a journey to Xi'an.

Xi'an, this ancient city carries thousands of years of history and culture. As soon as they get off the train, they see the towering ancient city wall. "Wow, this is the ancient city wall of Xi'an, it's so spectacular." Lin Yifei ran over excitedly, trying to touch the ancient city wall.

Li Xiao introduced: "Xi'an City Wall is the largest and most fully preserved ancient city wall in China. We can go up and rent a bicycle, ride around the city wall and experience the ancient charm of this city."

On the city wall, three people rode bicycles, faced the breeze, and admired the scenery inside and outside the city wall. Within the city wall, ancient buildings and modern high-rise buildings shine together; outside the city wall, the moat is sparkling and the riverside is covered with green trees.

"Lao Zhang, look over there, that ancient building feels like it has traveled back to the ancient times." Lin Yifei pointed to the distance and said.

Zhang Yuedong nodded: "Yes, Xi'an is truly the ancient capital of the Thirteenth Dynasty, and its historical and cultural heritage is too profound."

After descending the city wall, they came to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is located in the Dacien Temple and was built to preserve the sutras and Buddha statues brought back to Chang'an by Master Xuanzang from the Silk Road of the Indian Sutra.

When they walked into Dacien Temple, the smoke was curling in the temple, the ancient trees were towering, and the quiet and peaceful atmosphere calmed their hearts.

"This Big Wild Wild Pagoda is so tall, with seven floors." Zhang Yuedong said looking up at the Big Wild Wild Pagoda.

Li Xiao said: "There are many legends and stories about the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. It is said that it was originally used to store relics."

Around the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, they also saw many believers and tourists coming to worship. Lin Yifei looked at them curiously and said, "The cultural atmosphere here is really strong, and I feel that everyone has a special emotion for this tower."

After visiting the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, they came to the Huimin Street in Xi'an. The Huimin Street was very lively and there were a wide variety of special snacks.

"Wow, I don't know which one to eat first for so many delicious foods." Zhang Yuedong's eyes widened as he looked at the food all over the street.

They tasted the mutton steamed bun, the rich soup and tender mutton, which made them eat with relish. There was also the rouxyaki mousse, the crispy bun was filled with fragrant braised pork, and took a bite and left a full mouth full of fragrance.

"This mutton soup bun is so delicious, it's completely different from what I used to eat." Lin Yifei said while eating.

Li Xiao smiled and said, "This is the authentic Xi'an flavor. I'll try something else later."

They also ate cold skin, zeng cake and other delicacies, and they praised them all. After eating perfect food, they watched a Huayin old tune performance.

The unique singing style and heroic performance style of Huayin Old Recitation made them excited. The actors held various traditional instruments and performed while singing, and the powerful voice seemed to penetrate the soul of a person.

"This old Huayin eloquence is so shocking that I feel the blood in my body is boiling." Zhang Yuedong said excitedly.

Lin Yifei also applauded vigorously: "It's so wonderful, this traditional culture is really so charming."

After the performance, they bought some specialties on Huimin Street, such as paper cutting and shadow puppetry. "These paper cutting and shadow puppetry are so exquisite. It can be taken back as a good souvenir." Lin Yifei said.

Leaving Huimin Street, they head to the next city - Hangzhou. Hangzhou is known as the "paragraph on earth" and is famous for its beautiful West Lake.

When they came to the West Lake, the beautiful scenery in front of them made them intoxicated. The lake water was sparkling, the mountains in the distance were rolling, and the weeping willows by the lake were swaying, like a beautiful ink painting.

"This is West Lake. It's so beautiful, exactly the same as what I saw in the painting." Zhang Yuedong sighed.

Li Xiao smiled and said, "There are ten scenic spots in West Lake, and each place has its own unique charm. Let's take a walk."

They walked along the lake and visited the Broken Bridge and the Snow Spots, the Flower Harbor Fishing Tour and other attractions. By the Broken Bridge, they remembered the legend of Xu Xian and Bai Snake, as if they saw that romantic love story happening in front of them.

"I wish I could have a romantic encounter here." Lin Yifei joked with a smile.

Zhang Yuedong photographed him: "Don't think about the things that are missing, enjoy the beautiful scenery."

Watching fish in Huagang, they saw groups of red carp swimming in the water. Whenever someone feeds food, the fish swim over and compete for food. The scene is very spectacular.

"These fish are so fat, they must be delicious." Zhang Yuedong said jokingly.

Li Xiao gave him a blank look: "You know that these fish are for people to watch."

After visiting West Lake, they came to a Hangzhou Bang restaurant. Hangzhou's food is famous for its lightness and tenderness. They ordered signature dishes such as West Lake vinegar fish, Dongpo pork, Longjing shrimp, etc.

The West Lake vinegar fish is bright red and sweet and sour; the Dongpo pork is fat but not greasy and melts in the mouth; the Longjing shrimps are tender and smooth, with a faint tea aroma.

"The West Lake vinegar fish tastes so unique, sour and sweet, and delicious." Lin Yifei said.

Zhang Yuedong took a bite of Dongpo pork and praised: "This Dongpo pork is so delicious, it is worthy of being a famous dish in Hangzhou."

While tasting Longjing shrimps, Li Xiao said: "The food in Hangzhou not only tastes good, but also pays great attention to the freshness of the ingredients and cooking skills."

After dinner, they learned that there was a Yue Opera performance by the West Lake. Yue Opera is the second largest opera in China and is loved by the audience for its beautiful singing style and delicate performance.

They came to the performance venue and found a seat to sit down. After the performance began, the actors' wonderful performance immersed them in it. The melodious singing style and beautiful figure seemed to bring them into a dreamlike world.

"Yue Opera is really beautiful. I feel that every action and every line of singing are full of charm." Zhang Yuedong said.

Lin Yifei nodded in agreement: "Yes, I didn't know much about Yue Opera before, but I didn't expect the scene to be so exciting."

After the performance, they bought some silk products and Longjing tea at a specialty store by the West Lake. Hangzhou's silk is famous for its soft and smoothness and colorful colors. Longjing tea is one of the top ten famous teas in China, with a clear aroma and fresh taste.

"Take some silk back and make a gift for your girlfriend, she will definitely like it." Lin Yifei said with a smile.

Zhang Yuedong also bought a few cans of Longjing tea and said, "Take this Longjing tea back and taste it slowly, which can be regarded as bringing the taste of Hangzhou back."
