Chapter 1052 1063. Liuxiang Ancient Town
Li Xiao took the bus to Liuxiang Ancient Town. Along the way, he saw the scenery along the way, ancient buildings and small alleys, which made him very amazed.

After arriving in the ancient town, Li Xiao felt as if he had come to an ancient world.

Li Xiao walked through a small alley less than two meters wide, surrounded by high walls and porches.Even in such a small place, the architectural styles are varied, like being in a magnificent palace.

He walked through a portal that was obviously the palace of an ancient emperor. This portal was five meters high and about three meters wide.

The blue stone brick wall is carved with exquisite phoenix patterns, shining golden light.He thought he had to bend down to be able to walk.

But this kind of small and exquisite green building in the narrow alley is also very distinctive.A bulge made of white stone, each floor is connected by winding stairs, which looks like a castle in a fairy tale.

Not long after, Li Xiao found an old shop with a very beautiful appearance.There are very famous handmade ribs on the door beam, which seem to be carved out, and other famous dishes such as mutton and beef stew are hung at the door.The guy managed to repaint the storefront and did the same trick by placing a row of green potted plants and succulents under the wooden eaves to make it look even older.

He became a little disappointed when he went in. Although it was really beautiful, the clerk had an extremely accent.

"Hello, what do you need?" The little girl smiled and pushed the sofa to the horizontal wall.

"The appearance of such a building does not actually mean whether it is economically stable and beneficial." Li Xiao tried to restore the atmosphere between the two.

The guy seemed to have sensed Li Xiao's emotions, so he explained patiently: "We are a traditional gourmet restaurant here, and for foreign guests, we will also launch slightly unique dishes one after another."

There are many other sights worth admiring in the narrow alley, such as a handmade writing brush hanging at the door of every household, with the background of gray and black walls.Something beautiful yet slightly evocative.Many residents are culturally learning the beauty of Chinese calligraphy from the living patterns in the alleys. "This is a piece of art I'd love to own," he thought to himself.

There is also an ordinary small square, where people play musical instruments and dance happily, all for entertainment and community.Looking at these cheerful people, Li Xiao found that he was also infected by this joy.

"What a nice place." Li Xiao thought.

He walked out of the narrow alley and glanced back, as if he had engraved this alley deeply in his mind.

Li Xiao walked into the store carefully. The atmosphere in the store was very warm, making people feel comfortable and relaxed.The interior decoration is a bit antique, revealing a strong traditional atmosphere.There are some handmade works of art hanging on the wall, most of them are Chinese style, or some antique porcelain, wood carvings and so on.

In the store, Li Xiao saw a young woman in Chinese clothes. She had long flowing hair, fair skin, a good face, and clear and deep eyes.Seeing Li Xiao coming in, the woman greeted with a smile, "Welcome, what do you need?"

Li Xiao looked at the woman and responded with a smile: "Hi, I'm just passing by here and want to come in and have a look."

The woman smiled and said, "Okay, you are welcome to take a look around. If you need any help, you can ask me anytime."

Li Xiao felt that the woman was very friendly, so he walked around the store casually and saw many exquisite handmade works of art.He especially likes a piece of exquisite porcelain, which is painted with a painting of flowers and birds, which is colorful and very beautiful.

"This porcelain is very beautiful, how much is it?" Li Xiao asked.

The woman smiled and said, "This porcelain is the star product in our store. It is hand-painted by famous artists and is very delicate. Its price is [-] yuan."

Li Xiao hesitated when he heard the price.Seeing his expression, the woman said, "If you think the price is a bit high, there are other affordable products in our store, you can take a look."

Li Xiao nodded, walked to the other side of the store, and found some more affordable handicrafts, he took a fancy to a beautifully carved tea tray, the price was [-] yuan.

"This tea tray is nice, I'll buy it." Li Xiao said.

The woman smiled and said: "Okay, please wait a moment, I will pack it for you."

Li Xiao waited for the woman to help him pack the handicrafts, and then left the shop with the tea tray.He was glad he had found such a fine thing to take home as a souvenir.

All very refined.There are many kinds of handicrafts in the shop, each of which is very beautiful and makes people love it.

"Hi, welcome." A young girl greeted him with a smile, "Do you need any help?"

"Well, I just took a look." Li Xiao said with a smile.

"Okay, just take a look." The girl smiled friendly.

Li Xiao browsed through the various handicrafts in the store and found that each piece was very exquisite.He especially likes a red silk painting, which depicts a crane soaring in the clouds, which is very beautiful.

"How much is this painting?" Li Xiao asked the girl.

"This painting is a special price, only 500 yuan." The girl replied with a smile.

Li Xiao didn't hesitate, he thought this painting was really beautiful.He handed the money to the girl and left the small shop.

He continued to walk forward and walked into a small restaurant called "Hongyun Dumpling Restaurant".The hot and sour noodles and boiled dumplings are the signature dishes of this dumpling restaurant, and many people come to taste these delicacies every day.Li Xiao ordered a serving of boiled dumplings and a bowl of hot and sour noodles, and he found the dishes here to be delicious.

"Are you here for tourism?" An old man sitting next to him asked him.

"Yes, I came to Taiyuan for tourism." Li Xiao replied.

After hearing Li Xiao's answer, the peddler showed a friendly smile. "Welcome to Taiyuan. The Liuxiang Ancient Town here is a famous scenic spot in Taiyuan. You will definitely like it." He said.

Li Xiao nodded with a smile and continued walking forward.

Li Xiao walked into the ancient town of Liuxiang, and smelled the fresh fragrance of flowers and the smell of wood from the old buildings.This small town is full of sense of history, full of decorations and furnishings with ulterior motives.He crossed a street in front of a fountain, and the indescribable design of the buildings on both sides made him feel even less confident.The picturesque music ripples between the intriguing bridges, and the praises and chants are dizzying, as if a string of intestines and paths are randomly intertwined.

He walked into a cafe called "The Living Room of the Ancient Alley" and ordered a cup of latte and a piece of tiramisu cake.The corridors are lined with art of all kinds, from ancient flutes to modern pianos, each item placed in its perfect place.This is simply an important place for the Renaissance movement. "Do you like it here?" the waiter asked.

"It's quite livable here." Li Xiao smiled.While the town may seem to lack a new-age sparkle, it's a natural blend of ancient lifestyles and modern technology.

Walking by the flower bed in the center of the town, passers-by wear all kinds of clothes and feel the simplicity and simplicity.This small town is not only beautiful, it also has vicissitudes, and those rich histories are embedded in the walls of the buildings.However, Li Xiao still liked this feeling very much.He felt that the small town gave him a power to divert his attention, and even allowed him to forget the fatigue caused by the hustle and bustle.

He saw a painter painting in mid-air, with a drawing board, a bucket of paint, and several pens in front of him.At this moment, an old woman walked slowly into the painter's side, speaking in a relaxed and gentle voice.

"Hello dear, I want to buy this artwork you drew."

"Ah, thank you very much!" The painter was very happy, "This painting interprets my emotions and strength, and it is truly a work of art."

Li Xiao suddenly thought that every work of art comes from the artist's heart, and is a real and unique way of expression.And this small town also gives everyone the opportunity to create and showcase their talents.

"It's really beautiful here!" Li Xiao exclaimed.

"Yes, the scenery here is our pride in Taiyuan, and it attracts countless tourists every year." The peddler replied.

Li Xiao walked through the ancient town for a while, saw a quaint small restaurant, and decided to try the local delicacies here.After he went in and Li Xiao ordered the food, he looked around and found that most of the other diners here were tourists, and occasionally some local residents came here to taste the food.The atmosphere in the store is very warm. While enjoying the food, everyone is also chatting and exchanging each other's travel experience and cultural background.

After a while, the waiter brought a hot flat food.The flat food has a thin skin, delicious and delicious, and it is filled with meat and vegetables, which has an excellent taste.Li Xiao took a sip, and immediately felt that this was the best delicacy he had eaten in Taiyuan.

The waiter came over and asked, "Sir, how does this flat food taste?"

"It's very delicious, and it's one of the best foods I've eaten in Taiyuan." Li Xiao replied full of praise.

"Thank you for your compliment. Our flat food here is made by traditional hand-made methods. Every link is very elegant, so the taste is great." The waiter proudly introduced.

After hearing this, Li Xiao felt the historical and cultural heritage of the city of Taiyuan even more. He couldn't help thinking that perhaps it was this historical heritage and cultural heritage that gave the city such a unique food and landscape.

After Li Xiao finished his meal, he paid the bill and walked out of the restaurant, starting his trip to Taiyuan again.

"The flat food here is really delicious!" Li Xiao exclaimed.

"Yes, the flat food here is one of our traditional delicacies in Taiyuan, very popular with tourists." The waiter replied.

After Li Xiao finished his meal, he continued to tour the ancient town and saw many interesting scenes, such as exquisite ancient streets, ancient ancestral halls, ingenious waterways and so on.In an antique shop, he saw an exquisite antique tea set, and suddenly an urge to buy it surged in his heart.The owner saw Li Xiao's thoughts, and enthusiastically introduced the origin and value of this antique tea set to him.

"This is an official kiln tea set from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It is made by hand using the traditional kiln-changing glaze color technology. It is very precious. It is rare to see such a complete antique nowadays, and it is very valuable." The owner said.

After listening to the owner's introduction, Li Xiao was even more moved, but hesitant.After all, this antique tea set is expensive, so he needs to weigh it carefully.

At this time, an old gentleman walked into the store, saw Li Xiao hesitating, and took the initiative to talk to him.

"Young man, are you looking at this antique tea set?" the old gentleman asked.

Li Xiao nodded, and the old man said with a smile: "This tea set is very exquisite, but you should be cautious when buying antiques, because it not only represents value, but more importantly, it is the inheritance of history and culture. You have to think carefully whether you There is enough responsibility to carry it."

The old man's words made Li Xiao think deeply for a long time, and he realized that the purchase of antiques is not only a consumption behavior, but also a responsibility and mission.In the end, he did not buy this antique tea set, but under the guidance of the old man, he learned more about the culture and history of antiques, and his understanding of antiques became deeper.

"Thank you for your guidance, I will consider it carefully." Li Xiao said to the old man.

The old gentleman smiled and nodded, and said to Li Xiao: "I hope you can remember that antiques are the witness of history and the carrier of culture, and they need to be cherished and passed on."

After leaving the antique shop, Li Xiao walked on the streets of the ancient town, still thinking about the words of the old man.He realized that he needed a deeper understanding of Chinese history and culture in order to better protect and inherit them.

Throughout the afternoon, Li Xiao visited the ancient town, immersed in the atmosphere of history and culture, and felt the ancient and long history of China. The afternoon gradually passed, and the sky gradually darkened.Li Xiao walked out of the ancient town full of enthusiasm, still immersed in the deep impression left by this beautiful place.

Walking to the street corner, he saw an old gentleman sitting by the side of the street, as if waiting for something.The old man was wearing a loose cloth, with gray hair and a kind face. He seemed to be over [-] years old, but he was hale and hearty and radiant, giving off a profound cultural atmosphere.

Li Xiao stepped forward curiously and asked, "Mr., what are you waiting for?"

The old gentleman smiled and replied, "Young man, I am waiting to see the moon."

Li Xiao asked in surprise, "The moon? It's so late, hasn't the moon come out yet?"

The old man smiled, pointed to the sky, and said, "Look, isn't that the moon? It is slowly rising."

Li Xiao took a closer look, and sure enough, in the east of the sky, a bright moon was slowly rising, emitting a soft light, adding a bit of mystery to the ancient town at night.

Li Xiao's heart moved immediately, and he asked, "Old man, are you a local? This place is really beautiful."

The old gentleman nodded and said: "Yes, I was born here. This place has a long history and profound cultural heritage. This ancient town is also a famous historical town with many ancient buildings and cultural relics preserved. The scenery and people here are very good. Beautiful and very suitable for traveling.”

After listening to the old man's words, Li Xiao was even more sure that he was passionate about traveling in Taiyuan.He took a deep breath, feeling this beautiful night, praying silently, hoping that this beautiful place can keep its beauty and charm forever.

As night fell, the lights in the ancient town gradually lit up, making the beautiful scenery even more dazzling.Li Xiao bid farewell to Mr.
