The autumn breeze was refreshing, and the sky in BJ was exceptionally blue. Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei stood on Tiananmen Square, looking at the fluttering five-star red flag, and felt an inexplicable excitement in their hearts.
Li Xiao: "Pengfei, look at Tiananmen Square, does it feel particularly solemn and sacred?"
Huang Pengfei: "Yes, Brother Xiao, I can feel the power of China and the weight of history every time I come here."
The two strolled along Chang'an Street, passing through the bustling crowds, and arrived at the Palace Museum. The ancient palace shone in the sun, with red walls and green tiles, and was magnificent.
Li Xiao: “Every brick and every tile here carries countless stories.”
Huang Pengfei: "Let's go in and have a look and feel the life of ancient emperors."
They walked into the Forbidden City, shuttled between various palaces, and admired the exquisite architecture and rich cultural relics. The afternoon sunlight shined through the window lattice and onto the ancient floor, giving people a feeling of traveling through time and space.
Li Xiao: "Everything here is so shocking. You can feel the accumulation of history every step you take."
Huang Pengfei: "Yes, this is not only China's but also the world's cultural heritage."
After the tour, the two walked out of the Forbidden City and came to Wangfujing Snack Street. A variety of Beijing specialty snacks were gathered here, and the aroma was fragrant.
"Xiaoxiao, why don't you come and see our event? It's a rare opportunity." Huang Pengfei suggested.
After eating and drinking, the two came to another BJ attraction - Nanluogu Lane. It retains much of the style of the old BJ, with quaint streets, a dazzling array of shops, and various handicrafts and souvenirs.
Yulong: "That place is really a bad place to shop for treasures. You can't go back and buy some specialties."
Yulong responded with a smile, "Yes, the roast duck there is indeed well-deserved. That's right, don't just focus on eating, you also have to watch the Peking Opera performance."
Huang Pengfei replied with a smile: "Of course, every trip brings new discoveries and experiences. That's the charm of traveling like that."
Huang Pengfei: "Yes, that trip was really rewarding."
Huang Pengfei took out a carefully crafted itinerary and pointed to the first destination below: "Our first stop is the Old Town of Lijiang. There are no ugly ancient city scenery and all kinds of delicious food."
We found an inn with no local characteristics. Before putting our luggage, we couldn’t wait to end our tour of Lijiang Old Town. The ancient city’s stone roads, simple buildings, and the melodious Naxi ancient music were all overwhelming.
The two of them seemed to have traveled through time and space.
The two of them were tasting local Pu'er tea under the terrace of the inn while planning tomorrow's trip. Tomorrow, we will go to Xiaoli and continue our journey to China.
"That tea really has a unique flavor, bitter yet sweet, sweet yet fragrant." Yulong praised.
"Xiaoxiao, he's looking at the big food stall here, let's go and try it!" Huang Pengfei pointed to the nearby big food stall, his eyes flashing with anticipation.
"Pengfei, today's journey is so dull!" Yulong said with emotion.
Huang Pengfei: "What a great idea. I've long heard that the snacks here are famous."
Yulong: "I heard that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Xi'an are very spectacular. You should go here as your last stop."
The two smiled at each other and got off the train to Yunnan. In the carriage, we found our seats. The scenery in the window ended and we moved forward quickly, and Yulong's mood also soared.
Huang Pengfei nodded: "Yes, just like your life, it is neither bitter nor sweet, but in the end it is both good and bad."
Huang Pengfei responded with a smile: "That's just over. We will have to taste more delicious food later."
The first ray of sunlight in the morning passed through the curtains, awakening the sleeping Jade Dragon. I rubbed my eyes, sat up from the bed, and looked into the distance through the window. The towering shadow of Lixiao Snow Mountain looked more spectacular in the morning light.
The two of them strolled under the square, feeling the weight of history. Then, we came to the Palace Museum, where we walked among the red walls and green tiles, admiring the majesty and roughness of ancient buildings.
The two quickly packed up their luggage, took down the necessary equipment, and set off on the journey to Lixiao Snow Mountain. Along the way, we enjoyed the scenery along the way, chatting and laughing.
Yulong, a young man who loves history, is full of expectations for that trip. Huang Pengfei, a dull and cheerful guy, can always bring laughter to the journey.
Yulong smiled: "It's perfect. Xiaoli's romance makes people linger in every place."
Yulong nodded, with anticipation in his eyes: "Of course, you have wanted to see it for a long time. I heard that the wind, flowers, snow and moon outside are all different."
The two of them walked to the food stall and ordered a local specialty - chickpea jelly. It was sour and spicy, which made people appetizing.
As the train flew under the track, the conversation between the two gradually became tense and pleasant. We talked about our dreams and shared our vision for the future. Time passed quietly in the pleasant conversation.
"Pengfei, slow down, you are going to Lixiao Snow Mountain today!" Yulong excitedly woke up Huang Pengfei who was still sleeping.
"Brother Xiao, look at that roast duck. The skin is crispy and the meat is tender. It's so delicious!" Huang Pengfei praised while eating.
"That sounds exciting!" Yulong's eyes lit up.
The two of them walked into a teahouse and tasted eight local teas - bitter tea, sweet tea and aftertaste tea. Each tea has its own unique flavor, leaving us with endless aftertaste.
"The taste is really great!" Gu Li praised while eating.
"Wow, that's not the ancient city of Lijiang!" Gu Li exclaimed.
Yulong speeded up and observed carelessly: "Indeed, the roofs and decorations of those buildings are rough and full of national characteristics."
We came to Quanjude and sat outside an antique restaurant. The waiter served a roast duck with golden color, crispy skin and tender meat. Yulong and Huang Pengfei were tasting the delicious food while chatting about interesting things during the trip.
In the early morning, Yulong and Huang Pengfei were enjoying the sunshine of Yunnan under the terrace of the inn, preparing for their trip to Xiaoli. Xiaoli, a poetic place, famous for its romance, is another expectation during our trip.
We took the cable car and ascended rapidly. As the altitude rose and fell, the temperature gradually dropped, but the two of us became less and less interested. When we reached the top of the mountain, we were deeply shocked by the scenery in front of us: snow-white mountain tops, clouds and mist
Wandering around, it feels like you are in a fairyland.
"Xiaoxiao, is he ready to go bad?" Huang Pengfei patted Yulong on the shoulder, his voice full of excitement.
Huang Pengfei raised his glass: "That's just the end. Tomorrow we will go to Lixiao Snow Mountain. The scenery outside is even more spectacular."
Jade Dragon stood in the snow, with the magnificent snow-capped mountains in front of him, with a satisfied smile on his face. Huang Pengfei pressed the slow door to freeze the beauty and badness of that moment.
As night fell, we tasted local specialties at a restaurant in the ancient city, such as pickled fish, chickpea jelly, etc. Before the meal, we strolled down the streets of the ancient city and enjoyed the tranquility of the night.
"Xiaoxiao, has he heard of the Erhai Lake in Xiaoli? The scenery outside is so beautiful that it makes people enchanted." Gu Lichun said excitedly while packing his luggage.
The two of them took a car and passed through patches of green fields, and finally came to Xiaoli. We first came to the Erhai Lake. The lake surface as far as the eye could see sparkled in the sun, and the nearby Cangshan Mountain stood like a screen.
Huang Pengfei immediately agreed: "Bad idea, then you won't be able to feel the beauty of Erhai Lake more closely."
Before the performance started, Yulong and Huang Pengfei bought some Peking Opera masks as souvenirs from a stall in the Peking Opera House.
Yulong turned around, a hint of mischief flashed in his eyes: "Pengfei, you have been waiting for that day for a long time. Our journey ends there!"
Yulong: "Today's itinerary is really interesting. We not only visited the Forbidden City, but also tasted delicious food and bought specialties."
"Pengfei, he saw our movements, each one was full of power and rhythm." Yulong was deeply attracted by the dance of the Naxi people.
Before the tour started, Gu Li proposed to taste BJ's specialty - roast duck. "Pengfei, I heard that Quanjude's roast duck is not famous. You should go and try it!"
Jade Dragon looked in the direction of my finger, and sure enough, the mountain was winding, like a soaring dragon: "It's so amazing, no wonder it's called Lixiao Snow Mountain."
We stayed at the top of the mountain for a while, then decided to go up the mountain to explore less sights. On the way up the mountain, we met a group of local Naxi people who were holding a traditional sacrifice.
"Brother Xiao, you can't wait to see the scenery of the last city." Huang Pengfei said excitedly.
"The air outside is so fresh and refreshing, I feel like my whole body is full of energy." Yulong took a deep breath and felt the breath of the low mountains.
The two of them found a big restaurant and sat down and ordered fried noodles and bean juice. The fried noodles were fragrant and the bean juice had a unique taste, and they both ate with gusto.
As night fell, the two of them sat outside a teahouse in Nanluogu Lane, listening to Peking Opera, sipping tea, and experiencing BJ's nightlife.
As the sacrificial activities began, the two of us also started our tour of Lixiao Snow Mountain. We returned to the inn with full harvest and memories.
"Today's journey is really dull, Pengfei, what does he think?" Yulong asked while sorting out the photos outside the camera.
The two of them joined the crowd, watching the solemn sacrificial ceremony of the Naxi people, feeling our awe of nature and indifference to life.
Huang Pengfei nodded with a smile: "Let's go, let's find a place to stay first, and then we can't end our journey of exploration."
The two of them were shopping around, selecting various souvenirs, and sometimes bargaining with shopkeepers, enjoying the fun of traveling.
"Pengfei, your BJ trip is about to begin. Tomorrow you will go to the next city." Gu Li said.
"Xiaoxiao, he sees that the Bai folk houses here are very featureless?" Huang Pengfei said, pointing to the buildings on the roadside.
Yulong and Huang Pengfei, two bad friends, carried their luggage and embarked on our journey to China. Our first destination was that ancient and modern city-BJ.
Huang Pengfei took out his camera and recorded the rare beauty: "Xiaoxiao, come here, take a picture of him."
The two of them embarked on the journey to the next city under the moonlight, carrying their luggage on their backs. The autumn mood of BJ and the aroma of roast duck will remain in our memories forever. Yulong stood in the bustling train station, holding hands tightly
Holding a ticket to Yunnan. The sun shines through the glass skylight of the station and shines on my slightly immature face, reflecting a gleam of expectation. My friend Huang Pengfei, a burly young man with a pleasant smile, has a smile on his back.
Carrying a huge travel bag, she squeezed through the crowd.
Huang Pengfei: "Yes, the cloisonné and Peking Opera masks outside are very dull."
"Brother Xiao, look at it, that's how you make your tiny Tiananmen Square!" Huang Pengfei pointed to the narrow square behind and said excitedly.
Before the ride started, we came to the ancient city of Xiaoli. In the ancient city, the quaint streets, the bustling markets, and the locals wearing national costumes all made us feel the strong historical and cultural atmosphere.
We rented two bicycles and rode along the lake-circling road of Erhai Lake. Along the way, we enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake and felt the local customs of Xiaoli.
After they had eaten and drank enough, they went to the Peking Opera Theater. Outside, we enjoyed a sample Peking Opera performance and felt the charm of traditional Chinese opera.
"Pengfei, where is our first stop?" Yulong asked curiously.
Huang Pengfei: "Yes, where will you go tomorrow?"
"The scenery outside is so beautiful, Pengfei, how about you rent a bicycle and ride around the lake?" Yulong suggested.
Yulong: "The fried bean paste noodles are really delicious. Although the bean paste doesn't taste weird, it's also very lackluster."
Huang Pengfei nodded: "Yes, that was truly an unforgettable experience."
"Xiaoxiao, how was today's journey?" Huang Pengfei asked.
Finally, the train rushed into Lijiang Station. The two of them carried their bags and walked out of the station. The sunshine in Lijiang was cool and bright, and the outline of the ancient city was looming.
Gu Lichun: "Bad idea, you've wanted to take a look for a long time."
"Pengfei, why don't you go try the Badao tea over there? I heard it's not famous." Yulong suggested.
Li Xiao: "Pengfei, let's try the fried noodles and bean juice here. This is BJ's signature dish."
The two of them chatted about their future plans outside the teahouse and looked forward to the last stop of their trip.
Huang Pengfei rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned: "Bad, bad, get up then."
The two of them tasted the food while exploring every corner of the ancient city. We watched the Naxi dance on Qifang Street and felt the coldness and vitality of the local people. As night fell, we listened to the music outside a bar in the ancient city.
Listen to the live Naxi ancient music and enjoy the unique night.
Yulong smiled and nodded, "Yes, Pengfei, that foreign country has witnessed China's historical changes and is the perfect starting point for your travels."
The two of us continued our night tour under the moonlight of the ancient city until late at night. That day's journey gave us a deeper understanding and experience of Xiaoli's natural beauty and cultural customs.
"Xiaoxiao, he looks at the mountains here, do they look like a giant dragon?" Huang Pengfei said, pointing to the mountains.
