"The dance and music of the Naxi people are so beautiful." Huang Pengfei clapped excitedly.
"Yes, these traditional arts are the treasures of Lijiang and should be passed down." Li Xiao said.
After the performance, they went to a local specialty store. The store was filled with various Lijiang specialties, such as Dongba paper, yak jerky, shawls, etc.
Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei stood at the entrance of Fenghuang Ancient City with large backpacks on their backs, their eyes full of excitement and anticipation.
"Hey, Lao Li, this Phoenix Ancient City has long been famous. I heard it's as beautiful as a picture scroll." Huang Pengfei said while adjusting the shoulder straps of his backpack.
Li Xiao looked at the antique buildings in front of him and responded: "That's natural. I've wanted to come here for a long time. Come on, let's go visit those special scenic spots first."
The two walked slowly along the bluestone road. There were wooden stilted buildings on both sides of the street, which seemed to be telling ancient stories. The Tuojiang River passed through the city. The water was crystal clear and rippled by the breeze.
"Wow, this scenery is so beautiful." Huang Pengfei couldn't help but sigh, "It feels like walking into an ink painting."
Li Xiao smiled and nodded: "Indeed, the architectural style here is unique and very charming."
They came to Hongqiao, the ancient wind and rain bridge across the Tuojiang River. People were coming and going on the bridge, some were admiring the scenery, and some were taking photos. Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei also stopped and leaned on the railing to look into the distance.
"Look, the stilted buildings over there are reflected in the river. They are really beautiful." Huang Pengfei pointed to the distance and said.
"Well, the scenery here is really intoxicating." Li Xiao responded.
After coming down from Hongqiao, they came to the Tuojiang River. There were many local women washing clothes by the river, and some children playing in the water.
"This picture is so lifelike." Huang Pengfei said.
"Yes, I feel that people here live very comfortably." Li Xiao said.
They rented a small boat and rowed slowly on the Tuojiang River. While rowing, the boatman introduced them to the history and culture of Fenghuang Ancient City.
"This ancient city of Fenghuang has a long history. The stilted buildings here are traditional buildings of the Miao, Tujia and other ethnic minorities, which are very distinctive," said the boatman.
Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei listened with great interest and asked some questions from time to time.
"Master, has the water in the Tuojiang River always been so clear?" Huang Pengfei asked.
"In the past, the water in the Tuojiang River was so clear that you could drink it directly. But now that there are more tourists, it sometimes gets a little polluted, but the government is also increasing its efforts to control it," the boatman replied.
The boat moved forward slowly on the river, and they admired the scenery on both sides of the river. Diaojiaolou, green mountains, and green water formed a beautiful picture.
After visiting Tuojiang, Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei were also hungry. They came to a local restaurant and prepared to taste the food of Fenghuang Ancient City.
"Boss, can you recommend any special dishes?" Huang Pengfei said.
The boss enthusiastically introduced: "The blood duck, Miao fish in sour soup and bacon we have here are all very good. They are all local specialties."
"Okay, let's all have one," Li Xiao said.

After dinner, they went to watch a folk performance. The performance venue was full of audiences. On the stage, actors dressed in national costumes performed Miao songs and dances, Tujia hand-waving dances and other programs.
"This performance is really wonderful, and it makes us feel the cultural charm of ethnic minorities." Huang Pengfei said.
"Yes, these folk performances are very unique and allow us to have a deeper understanding of the culture here." Li Xiao said.
After the performance, they went to a local specialty store. The store was filled with a variety of specialties, including Miao silver jewelry, Tujia brocade, ginger candies, etc.
"Lao Li, what do you think we should buy some specialties back home?" Huang Pengfei asked.
"I think I can buy some silver jewelry to give to my family and friends," Li Xiao said.
They selected some exquisite silver jewelry, and after paying the money, they were ready to leave Fenghuang Ancient City and head to the next attraction.
"This ancient city of Fenghuang is really beautiful and unforgettable," Huang Pengfei said.
"Yes, the scenery, food and folk performances here all left a deep impression on us." Li Xiao said.
The two of them carried their backpacks and embarked on a new journey, looking forward to the next attraction that would bring them more surprises.
After Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei left Fenghuang Ancient City, they traveled all the way and finally arrived at the picturesque Guilin. Standing on the land of Guilin, they were both shocked and speechless by the beautiful scenery in front of them.
"Old Li, I have always heard that 'Guilin's landscape is the best in the world', and when I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation!" Huang Pengfei said excitedly.
Li Xiao looked at the rolling green mountains and the jade-like river in the distance, and said with emotion: "Yes, the scenery here is so beautiful. Let's go to the scenic spot quickly."

Some look like camels, some look like elephants, some look like old people, some look like fairies... People can't help but marvel at the miraculous craftsmanship of nature.

"Wow, look at that mountain, does it look like a huge camel?" Huang Pengfei pointed to a mountain peak in the distance and said.
"It really looks like it! This nature is really magical." Li Xiao responded.
They got on a cruise ship and drove slowly on the Li River. The breeze blew on their faces, bringing bursts of fresh air. The boatman introduced them to the beautiful scenery and legends of the Li River while rowing.
"This Lijiang River has many beautiful legends. It is said that a long time ago, there was an evil dragon here, which often made trouble and harmed the people. Later, a brave young man stepped forward and started a fierce battle with the evil dragon, and finally
He defeated the evil dragon and protected the people. To commemorate this young man, people called this river the Li River." said the boatman.
Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei were entranced, as if they themselves were in that legend.
After the cruise ship sailed on the Li River for a while, they came to a small island. The island was lined with green trees and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. They walked along the path and felt the tranquility and beauty of nature.
"It's really quiet here, which makes people feel comfortable," Huang Pengfei said.
"Well, there is no hustle and bustle of the city here, only the sound of nature." Li Xiao said.
After getting off the island, they came to Yangshuo. Yangshuo is a charming town with many unique shops and bars. They strolled around the town and tasted the local food.

The boss enthusiastically introduced: "The beer fish, snail stuffed rice and Guilin rice noodles we serve here are all very good. They are all local specialties."

After the performance, they went to a local specialty store. The store was filled with a variety of specialties, including Guilin Sanhua wine, Guilin chili sauce, Yangshuo painted fans, etc.
"Lao Li, what do you think we should buy some specialties back home?" Huang Pengfei asked.
"I think we can buy some Guilin Sanhua wine and give it to our dad to try when we go back," Li Xiao said.
"Okay, then let's buy Guilin Sanhua Wine." Huang Pengfei said.
They selected a few bottles of Guilin Sanhua Wine, and after paying, they were ready to leave Guilin and head to the next attraction.
"The landscape of Guilin is so beautiful that it is unforgettable," Huang Pengfei said.
"Yes, the scenery, food and folk performances here have left a deep impression on us. Where should we go to our next attraction?" Li Xiao said.
"How about we go to Zhangjiajie, I heard the scenery there is also very spectacular." Huang Pengfei said.
"Okay, then let's go to Zhangjiajie." Li Xiao said.
Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei set foot on the road to Zhangjiajie with reluctance to abandon the landscape of Guilin. After some twists and turns, they finally stood on the land of Zhangjiajie and were shocked by the majestic and majestic scene in front of them.
