I say new because this is the junction of two former counties. After the founding of New China, a new county was divided based on modern transportation and cultural considerations, and the name of the ancient town here was called Boyu.
This is a nice name.
And since they are all ancient towns, the oldness of this county naturally comes from this.
Guizhou has not been a tourist province since ancient times. Even when modern transportation is so developed and tourism bureaus in various places are deeply involved in the competition and are scrambling to develop new scenic spots, Guizhou still only has a few scenic spots that are recognizable by their names.
Huangguoshu Waterfall, Qianhu Miao Village...
Like many provinces, there is of course a famous mountain here called Mount Fanjing Scenic Area, but compared with Mount Huashan and Mount Tai, there seems to be less legends and stories here, making tourists almost forget about this place.
It is very likely that it is precisely because of people’s forgetfulness that Guizhou has preserved many ancient things.
The ancient city area of Boyu County is one of the preserved cultural relics. Nowadays, the surrounding tourist facilities are almost fully developed. The local tourism bureau used the popular village supermarket this year to attract a wave of traffic and attract tourists from all over the country.
Visit.
It seemed that Chen Xing was already a little late when he arrived in Boyu County. Before the bus even entered the station, Chen Xing saw a large number of tourists on the street through the window.
It is very easy to distinguish tourists in small cities. You can guess from various aspects such as accent, skin, clothing, travel bags, etc. But people like Chen Xing holding a camera are extremely conspicuous. Ninety percent of them are tourists.
.
I got off the bus and followed the crowd out of the station.
He has to find a hotel first.
I saw so many people on the road just now. It is conceivable that all the good hotels around here must be occupied by others.
Chen Xing could only think about whether there were any rooms in the cheap hotels around the station.
You must know that people who travel are different from people who travel on business. People who travel are willing to spend money and will basically not stay in a bad hotel. Therefore, these hourly rooms and daily rental rooms around the station may be available.
.
But when I walked out, I didn’t find such a place.
This station is located in the new urban area of Boyu County. The surrounding environment is very good. Even this station is very modern. Compared with stations in big cities, it is only slightly smaller in area.
After leaving the station, you will see the very busy street that you saw on the car before.
There are many restaurants of all kinds, as well as clothing stores and so on.
The most eye-catching thing may be the street signs here. Compared with other cities, there may be twice as many street signs here, pointing to parks, zoos, Boyu Ancient Town Scenic Area... Chen Xing even saw Wanda a few kilometers away.
Square route map.
There are many places in Boyu County on this route map. The location of the station is a red dot on the map. The red sign indicates to people who are looking at this map that most of the scenic spots are in the north of the county.
Chen Xing is taking note of the attractions here. If you have nothing to do these two days, you can go see a few.
You can go to the zoo.
Zoos are usually opened in large cities with large populations. This is the first time Chen Xing has seen such a zoo in a southwest county.
Many years ago, there were many such zoos, but small cities had poor spending power and could not attract tourists from outside, so a large number of these small zoos closed down. Chen Xing had the impression that there was a place similar to a zoo in his hometown in the New Territories, which used to be called the Forest
Park.
There are peacocks, ostriches, capybaras, forest deer and the like, but it was closed when he was in elementary school.
"Huh? And there are Taoist temples?"
He has traveled to so many cities and has seen many Buddhist temples, but this is the first time he has seen a Taoist temple.
Be there soon!
Chen Xing made a decision immediately.
While he was looking at the scenic spots, there were also many tourists from other places standing beside him looking at this huge map of the county.
In fact, there is only one such map outside the station in Boyu County. The ones in other places are either not as detailed or are only local maps.
When the Tourism Bureau of Boyu County built these things, they took everything into consideration, but they did not consider that foreigners would come to visit their small place.
A young couple who came to Boyu County to watch the game came behind the crowd with their bags on their backs. They came because they saw the crowds here.
Maybe you can even ask about the competition.
"Lindy, this should be the map of this city."
The blonde woman widened her eyes and said, "Great, is there any English on it?"
"Unfortunately, not."
They are from Luxembourg. They have traveled to many places and like football. They came to China this time because their idol Messi exaggeratedly praised the game held in China on Twitter. They wanted to come and watch the game.
, while traveling in China.
It was fine when I was traveling in Yanjing and Chengdu, but now I feel a little confused when I arrive in Guizhou, especially after getting off the bus.
There are too few people here who can speak English.
Moreover, the street signs and signs here are only in Chinese, and some are not even in Chinese. I don’t know where the twisted characters are, but they are not in English anyway...
This was something they didn't expect before coming here.
Nowadays, all communication can only be carried out using translation software on mobile phones.
When Chen Xing was about to continue looking for a place to stay, he saw these two foreigners asking a young man about a hotel. Nowadays, the popularity rate of English in China is actually not low, but one thing is very fatal, that is, learning English in China is very difficult.
I haven’t really used it in 89.
So when faced with questions from foreigners, this classmate’s brain suddenly went Muggle-like.
I seem to have heard the words somewhere, but what do they mean?
The whole person was blank, and then he said with a red face: "Sorui... I don't know English..."
He spoke this sentence quite fluently.
Such a performance made Chaudhry Nava, who asked for the route, feel humiliated.
Isn’t that what you said very well?
Chen Xing went up and said, "Where do you want to go?"
"Great, you speak English very well, friend. We would like to know where we can watch cunchao's game, and where we can stay today... We have looked for some hotels, but they have no vacancies.
."
"Oh..."
Chen Xing nodded.
In fact, I'm afraid they came two years too late to travel. If they had come to China to travel a few years ago, would they still be unable to find a room?
"The Village Super League match will be held in two days. No tickets are required. Just go directly there. As for the hotel... I regret to tell you that I am also looking for a hotel. We arrived too late." "NO..."
They didn't prepare a tent.
In the previous travel preparations, there was no mention on the Internet that there would be a problem of insufficient hotel rooms when traveling to China.
However, this situation often occurs abroad.
The population of European countries is relatively small, let alone small towns, but some small towns have activities that are well-known internationally. For example, the Hell of a Night Cycling Race was held in Iceland before, and Arles in France
Photography Festival.
Once this kind of festival is held and tourists from all over the world gather, there will be a situation where you can’t find a hotel.
When encountering this situation abroad, tourists can live in local people's houses.
But this is not possible in China. China does not have such a culture. Generally speaking, no one will agree to strangers sleeping in their houses at night.
Foreigners are even less likely.
Hearing Chen Xing skillfully communicate with two foreigners in English, the boy who was asked before gave Chen Xing a thumbs up and said: "Brother, you are awesome." Then he shook his backpack and walked away lonely.
Drop.
I feel like I have completely lost all my English skills learned in more than ten years.
In fact, at this time, he also wanted to understand what the foreigner had just said, but it took too long to respond, unlike Chen Xing who could reply fluently after listening to what others said.
The reaction is that on the one hand, he didn’t think so before, but now after listening to other people’s exchanges, he feels that his language organization ability is not as good as others.
It’s really a waste of time.
Anyway, beside the map, Chen Xing and these two people just exchanged names.
The man's name is Choudhary Nava, he is 29 this year and will be thirty next month. He is going to spend his thirtieth birthday in China. The woman's name is Lindy Gur, 26. They have been married for five years.
, maybe because they often go out and see new things, the relationship between the two is very good.
The three decided to find a hotel together.
The two foreigners had no other choice. It was really lucky for them to meet a friend like Chen Xing who knew English in Boyu County. They had to hold on to this kind of thigh, otherwise it would be difficult for them to move here. Translation software can only be used in emergencies. Many times you don’t know whether the software has translated correctly.
Lindy told Chen Xing something that happened to them two days ago.
"Chowdhury and I booked a place called the Bauhinia Hotel, but the translation software led us to find a bar. When we walked in, people were dumbfounded, thinking how could this be a hotel? We used voice translation,
I don’t know what was translated, but the Chinese guy kept nodding his head at that time, which seemed to mean that we were not wrong.”
"Same feeling." Chen Xing said.
He also had experience using translation software in Iceland for a while, but it is true that this function is not very easy to use abroad.
However, he also knew a few friends there. If he couldn't find his way, he could just call his friends and ask them to take him with them. Anyway, it wouldn't take long to run around Iceland, and it wouldn't disturb others. Chen Xing chatted with them while looking for a hotel on this street.
But they are all full.
When it was getting dark, Chen Xing met a kind-hearted girl at the front desk of the hotel and made several calls for them. Finally, she asked about a guest who had made a reservation at the hotel but still had no news. The call was also hung up. Is it okay?
Let Chen Xing and the others stay.
"But the problem is." The front desk person spread his hands, "There is only one room over there, a double bed room."
Chen Xing scratched his head,
"Can you help me ask again?"
"I've asked. There are too many tourists these days. There are only a few rooms available every day. There are guests in our hotel who are checking out tomorrow. I can save one for you, but there is really nothing I can do today." p>
Chen Xing and the others only came here in the afternoon, so it was difficult to find a hotel at this time.
"Okay."
Chen Xing also sighed, and said to the two people sitting in the hall looking curiously at the street: "I found a room. It seems that you don't have to sleep on the street tonight. I will take you there."
"Is there only one room?"
"I'm afraid so."
Lindy was embarrassed. Chen Xing had been helping them find a hotel for more than an hour. Now they finally found one, but they were asked to stay in it. So what should Chen Xing do tonight?
"How about you stay in a hotel room? This is not the first time we sleep on the street. We brought a lot of thick clothes and blankets."
"Lindy, believe me, although China is very safe, it does not mean that you can live in the park casually. You can live in a room if you want. I, a Chinese, can't find a place to rest?"
Indeed, it is impossible for Chen Xing to go to an Internet cafe and play all night.
Anyway, it’s just a night without sleep, so it won’t affect anything.
Or you can go for a massage, it won’t cost you more.
There are still many choices.
The girl at the front desk couldn't understand what Chen Xing was talking about, but seeing him communicating with two foreigners in English like this, she thought Chen Xing was so handsome. She couldn't help but feel a little moved and said, "Handsome guy, if you don't mind, you can sleep in the room."
Our lounge?"
Working the night shift in a hotel is very boring. Some hotel owners will get a room near the lobby on the first floor, or put a bed in a hidden place so that the night shift can sleep for a few hours. p>
After all, there won’t be many people looking for a hotel after early morning.
Chen Xing smiled at her and said, "Thank you, but no need."
He plans to go to an Internet cafe and play all night.
After finding a Didi car, Chen Xing took them to the Super 8 Hotel 6 kilometers away. It seems that Super 8 is developing very well. There are branches in such small cities.
Chen Xing was still thinking about which Taoist temple he could go to today, but he didn't have time now, so he might as well wait until tomorrow.
The Taoist temple is also located on the mountain in the park. If you go there early tomorrow, you might be able to watch the sunrise.
It's hard to find hotels in the county these days, but Internet cafes can be found everywhere. Chen Xing found an Internet cafe with a slightly better environment to stay overnight, and then ordered a braised chicken on Meituan.
Another sleepless night.
In fact, for people like Chen Xing who like to play LOL, especially at high levels, the people queued up at night will be more normal and they have more acquaintances.
That is to say, Chen Xing does not play in the Korean server. Otherwise, people like Jiejie and Meiko would sometimes train until five or six o'clock the next day before going to bed. For e-sports players, there is no morning time period, everyone is working all night
, to put it another way, wouldn’t it mean that everyone didn’t stay up all night?
I haven’t played for a few days and I’m still killing people randomly this time.
Chen Xing had been paying attention to the time, and signed off at 4:30 in the morning. He planned to go to the park now to see if he could go in and spend the night climbing Laoya Mountain.
Laoya Mountain is the name on the map. The Taoist temple is on this mountain. The full name is Laoya Mountain Qinghong Temple.
