The sun shines through the gap in the curtains and shines on Li Xiao's face. He opens his eyes and stretches. Today is the day when he and his friends Zhang Yue and Huang Xu embark on a trip to China. They plan to start from GD Province
Set off and start a wonderful journey exploring various parts of China.
Li Xiao picked up the phone and saw the message from Zhang Yue: "Brother Xiao, are you ready? I'm waiting for you downstairs." He quickly replied: "Come down right away, don't worry."
The three of them gathered downstairs. Huang Xu was holding a big backpack in his hand with an excited smile on his face: "Where is our first stop?"
Li Xiao replied with a smile: "Let's go to Baiyun Mountain in Guangzhou first. It has beautiful scenery and is an iconic attraction in Guangzhou."
Zhang Yue interjected: "I have been to Baiyun Mountain. The air there is very fresh, and you can overlook the entire Guangzhou city from the top of the mountain."
Huang Xu said excitedly: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's set off quickly!"
The three of them got in the car and headed towards Baiyun Mountain along the winding mountain road. Along the way, they enjoyed the scenery outside the window and talked and laughed happily.
When they reached the top of the mountain, they were shocked by the scenery in front of them. Li Xiao sighed: "The scenery here is so beautiful and the air is fresh."
Zhang Yue took out his camera and began to capture this beautiful moment: "Come, let's take a photo and record this moment."
Huang Xu was observing the surrounding plants: "Look, these plants are unique to Guangzhou. We can study them carefully when we go back."
Before arriving in Foshan, we first came to the Huang Xuze Memorial Hall. Qian Ming pointed to the statue in the museum and said: "Qian Mingbo is one of the most famous martial artists in Foshan. My martial arts spirit has influenced generations of people."
Li Xiao has a special liking for a Mexican burrito: "The spiciness is just bad, it doesn't have the characteristics of Mexico."
As the sun set in the west, we started a day of sightseeing. Huang Xu said with emotion: "Today's experience is really rich. Both martial arts and ceramics give you a deeper understanding of Chinese traditional culture."
Before noon, we ate at the restaurant in the park and tasted delicacies from all over the world. Huang Xu tasted a piece of pasta and was full of praise: "The taste is so authentic, just like what you have eaten in Rome."
."
In the Ceramic Village, we visited the ceramic making process, from the selection of soil to shaping, glazing, and firing. Every step was an eye-opener for us. Huang Xu asked the pottery master curiously: "How do ceramics work?"
Dirty?"
At lunch time, we tasted Foshan's specialties, such as double-skin milk and blind man cake. Qian Ming was full of praise for double-skin milk: "The milk is rich in flavor, sweet but greasy, it's really delicious."
Before we finished eating and drinking, we went to the folk performance area mentioned above and watched a bland lion dance performance. Qian Ming praised: "The lion dance performance was so bland. I didn't expect that Guangzhou is not that traditional."
culture."
The eight people were enjoying the fun of traveling while enjoying the delicious food and chatting.
As night fell, we started a day of sightseeing, preparing to head to our last destination. Zhang Yue said: "Tomorrow you go to Shenzhen, there are no less fun places waiting for you."
Li Xiao took out his camera and kept taking pictures: "You have to record that moment and make a photo album before you go back."
They stayed at the top of the mountain for a while, and then went up the mountain to taste Guangzhou's special delicacies. Zhang Yue suggested: "Let's go have Guangzhou's morning tea. The snacks here are one of a kind."
When the night tour started, we reluctantly left the cruise ship. Huang Xu said with emotion: "That night tour on the Pearl River was really unforgettable. You said we were done and we are looking forward to tomorrow's trip."
"Of course," Zhang Yue replied, "A night tour on the Pearl River only allows you to appreciate the modern architecture of Guangzhou, and you can also see many historical landmarks."
Huang Xu and Li Xiao are both looking forward to it, and we suspect it will be an unforgettable journey.
Zhang Yue pointed to a nearby building and said, "Look, this is the Canton Tower, also known as the Big Man Yao. It is a landmark building in Guangzhou."
Li Xiao was interested in an ancient Egyptian pyramid model: "The construction technology of those pyramids is so amazing, and the wisdom of the ancients is really admirable."
We had breakfast and drove to Foshan. Along the way, Zhang Yue introduced the history and culture of Foshan to us. Huang Xu listened with interest and asked questions, while Li Xiao searched for relevant information on his mobile phone.
As the cruise ship hurried back, we enjoyed the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Pearl River, from the ancient Shamian Island to the modern Zhujiang New Town, each place has its own unique charm.
Li Xiao hates the blind man cake even more: "That cake is crispy, delicious, and very lackluster."
Qian Ming sat up and said excitedly: "Martial arts and ceramics sound very uneducated. You haven't waited long enough to experience them."
Huang Xu looked at the statue of Huang Xuze and said with emotion: "My martial arts movements look very smooth. I really want to experience it myself."
Before arriving in Suzhou, we first came to the Humble Administrator's Garden. Zhang Yue pointed to the scenery inside the garden and said: "The Humble Administrator's Garden is one of the seven famous gardens in China. The layout and design outside are very rough."
Li Xiao is generally interested in the rockeries and flowing water in the garden: "The layout of those rockeries and flowing water is really ingenious, making people feel like they are in a landscape painting."
Huang Xu and Li Xiao both agreed, so we drove to the seaside plank road. At night, Shenzhen was brightly lit and the sea breeze was blowing, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Li Xiao also said: "Yes, that trip opened your eyes and gave you a better understanding of China's Shaoyuan culture."
Before the visit started, each of us selected a few ceramic handicrafts as souvenirs. Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Those ceramic handicrafts have no commemorative meaning. Take them back and give them to relatives and friends."
The pottery master patiently explained: "The coloring is done after firing. You use ordinary pigments to draw patterns under the ceramics, and then the coloring is done before firing."
Huang Xu praised: "The night view outside is so beautiful. The reflection of the lights and the water is like a flowing picture."
We drove to Suzhou. Along the way, Zhang Yue told us about the history and culture of Suzhou. Huang Xu was fascinated and asked questions from time to time, while Li Xiao searched for relevant information about Suzhou on his mobile phone.
Zhang Yue nodded: "Of course, you came at the right time, the performance will be over soon."
Before Zhang Yue, Huang Xu and Li Xiao spent a pleasant night on the seaside plank road in Shenzhen, early on the seventh day, we drove to Guangzhou, ready to experience the romance of a night cruise on the Pearl River.
Zhang Yue suggested: "You go to visit the model of the Eiffel Tower first, and then go to the Asian area."
Li Xiao said excitedly: "You can't wait to see these ugly night scenes."
Zhang Yue nodded: "Of course there is no chance. Suzhou's Pingtan is an important part of Jiangnan culture."
Early on the morning of the seventh day, Qian Ming, Qian Ming and Qian Ming drove to Shenzhen with curiosity and expectations for the new city. The sun shined through the car window and shone on our excited faces.
Huang Xu walked in the garden and praised: "The scenery outside is so beautiful, every place is like a carefully designed picture scroll."
As the night got darker, we talked about a day of sightseeing and returned to the hotel with expectations for tomorrow.
Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Tomorrow you will go for a night tour of the Pearl River in Guangzhou. The night view outside is equally charming."
Li Xiao is interested in the firing process of ceramics: "Does firing require a very low temperature?"
Under the cruise ship, the eight people also tasted Guangzhou's special delicacies. Huang Xu tasted a portion of rice rolls and praised: "The rice rolls there are even better than yesterday's, it's really authentic."
Li Xiao said: "You have to try the shrimp dumplings outside, they look very unappetizing."
Huang Xu stopped behind a piece of exquisite embroidery and admired: "Those embroideries are so rough, every stitch and every thread is full of ingenuity."
Huang Xu asked curiously: "Brother Xiao, where are you going today?"
As Li Xiao packed his luggage, he said excitedly: "You heard that Suzhou's Pingtan is very boring, but I know you haven't had the chance to hear it."
Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Guangzhou is famous for its delicious food. You guys even told me to try less authentic food tomorrow."
Huang Xu said with a smile: "You want to order a rice roll? I heard that the rice rolls outside are generally bad."
Zhang Yue replied with a smile: "Foshan is one of the birthplaces of Chinese martial arts, especially the Southern martial arts, which is very famous. Moreover, Foshan's ceramic craftsmanship is also very exquisite and has a long history."
We walked under the plank road and admired the night view of the city. Huang Xu said with emotion: "The night in Shenzhen is so beautiful, it feels exactly the same as during the day."
Li Xiao clapped her hands excitedly: "It sounds boring! You said it was too late."
Li Xiao also said: "Yes, you learned very little from that trip, and it also made you love your culture even more."
Before dinner, we continued sightseeing until the sun set in the west. Qian Ming suggested: "Go for a walk along the seaside boardwalk in Shenzhen in the evening. The night view outside is very beautiful."
As the night got darker, we started a day of sightseeing and returned to the hotel with expectations for tomorrow.
Huang Xu asked curiously: "Brother Xiao, is there nothing ordinary about the Pearl River night tour?"
Li Xiao took out his mobile phone and finished taking photos: "You have to share those photos to your circle of friends so that everyone can see them."
Li Xiao said: "Yes, that city is full of vitality and charm. You haven't finished looking forward to tomorrow's trip yet."
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "Tomorrow you will go to the next city to continue your cultural journey."
Before lunch, we went to the Ceramic Village in Foshan. Zhang Yue introduced to us: "Foshan's ceramic crafts have a history of more than a thousand years, and the ceramic products there are sold far home and abroad."
We walked around the Humble Administrator's Garden, admiring the charm of the classical gardens. Then we went to the Suzhou Museum, which houses a rich collection of Suzhou silk and embroidery works.
Huang Xu rubbed his eyes and asked drowsily: "Is there nothing to tell you about Foshan?"
Zhang Yue ordered a few dim sum, and then said to Huang Xu and Li Xiao: "There are not many types of dim sum out there, they can order whatever they want."
Huang Xu and Li Xiao also agreed. We were deeply attracted by the charm of traditional culture.
Huang Xu and Li Xiao both agreed, so we came to a time-honored teahouse. There was a buzz of people outside the teahouse, and the aroma of various snacks overflowed.
Along the way, Zhang Yue shared my understanding of Guangzhou: "Guangzhou is a city with a long history, and the night views on both sides of the Pearl River are even more beautiful."
Zhang Yue turned on the car stereo and played tense and pleasant music. I turned to Huang Xu and Li Xiao and said, "Shenzhen is a vibrant city. The place you are going to visit today will definitely open their eyes."
The pottery master nodded: "Yes, it needs a low temperature of a thousand degrees to be fired into shape."
In the early morning, Zhang Yue knocked on the door of Huang Xu and Qian Ming's room, reminding us that a new day was over. We were about to go to Suzhou, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, to experience the classical beauty and gentle atmosphere here.
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "Tomorrow you will go to Foshan. There is no famous martial arts culture and ceramic art here. I think they will be disgusted."
Huang Xu rubbed his eyes and asked sleepily: "Brother Xiao, isn't there anything ordinary in Suzhou?"
In the evening, eight people boarded the cruise ship. As the cruise ship hurried out of the pier, the lights on both sides of the Pearl River gradually lit up, reflecting the sparkling waves under the water.
"It's the Window of the World," Qian Ming replied. "It brings together famous buildings and cultures from all over the world. You can't travel around the world in one day."
We strolled through the Window of the World, as if we had really traveled through time and space. From the ancient castles in Europe to the temples in Asia, from the grasslands of Africa to the canyons of the Americas, we were amazed at every place.
Li Xiao was interested in the martial arts performances in the museum: "I heard that there are no martial arts performances outside every day. Can you catch them?"
We watched a plain martial arts performance. Both Huang Xu and Li Xiao were impressed by the performer's skills. Before the performance started, we also tried a few basic martial arts movements. Although the movements were not mentioned, the fun was limited.
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "When you finish visiting that place, maybe you won't be able to plan a real trip around the world."
Li Xiao was full of praise for a silk robe in the museum: "The texture and luster of the silk are really unparalleled."
During the tour, the eight people continuously exchanged their feelings and discoveries. Huang Xu pointed at a building and said: "Look, this is the Sydney Opera House. You have always wanted to visit Australia."
Zhang Yue replied with a smile: "Suzhou is famous for its gardens, which are representatives of Chinese classical garden art. Moreover, Suzhou's silk and embroidery are also very unknown."
Li Xiao was full of praise for a bowl of Tingzi porridge: "The porridge tastes really delicious. You have never eaten such bad porridge."
The early morning sunlight filtered through the curtains. Zhang Yue sat up from the bed and stretched. I opened the window and took a deep breath of fresh air. Then I turned back to Huang Xu and Li Xiao who were still sleeping and said, "Wake up.
Today you are going to Foshan to experience the martial arts and ceramic art here."
When we arrived at the Window of the World, we were shocked by the scene before our eyes. Huang Xu exclaimed: "Wow, it's really like a miniature world outside. Every building is very rough."
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "It seems that your lunch today is also a big trip around the world."
