Chapter 1401 1416.

Li Xiao stood in the square of the Forbidden City, looking up at the long history, and couldn't help but feel excited in his heart. Zhang Yue and Huang Xu beside him were also shocked by this magnificent building.

"This place is so spectacular!" Huang Xu exclaimed.

Zhang Yue smiled and added: "Yes, I never thought we would have the opportunity to come here."

Li Xiao nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, this is all incredible."

They slowly toured the Forbidden City, every corner of which was filled with the vicissitudes of history and the splendor of the palace. They shuttled between the palaces, as if they had gone back in time and were immersed in the prosperity of ancient times.

"I heard that there are many legends and stories here." Li Xiao suddenly said.

"Yes, for example, it is said that there is a ghost of a palace lady wandering in that corner." Zhang Yue said jokingly.

Huang Xu joked: "Stop scaring people, we don't want to encounter ghosts."

While chatting, they explored the mysteries of the Forbidden City. In this ancient building, they seemed to have found a spiritual sustenance and felt the weight of history and the preciousness of inheritance.

After leaving the Forbidden City, they came to a nearby attraction - the Summer Palace. This ancient royal garden attracts countless tourists with its unique style and beautiful scenery. Li Xiao and others walked along the winding path and small bridge, admiring the scenery of the lake and mountains, and imagining the leisurely life of the ancients.

"The scenery here is really beautiful." Li Xiao said with emotion.

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Yes, this kind of tranquility and beauty is really refreshing."

Huang Xu patted Li Xiao on the shoulder and said, "Well, before I came here, I thought only the Forbidden City was the most beautiful place in BJ. I didn't expect the Summer Palace to be so charming."

They walked around the Summer Palace, stopping to watch from time to time and enjoying this rare peaceful time. During this day's journey, they not only saw China's long history, but also felt the prosperity of modern cities, and gained countless beautiful memories and profound experiences.

As night fell, they ended the day's trip, but the emotion and nostalgia in their hearts could not go away for a long time. This unforgettable experience will become a precious part of their friendship and will be engraved in each other's hearts forever.

The next day, Li Xiao and his friends decided to explore the charm of BJ. They came to the Temple of Heaven Park, an ancient place for offering sacrifices to heaven that carries the wishes of the Chinese people and the imprint of history.

As soon as they entered the Temple of Heaven, they were shocked by the sight before them. The tall Hall of Praying for Good Harvests, the Circular Mound Altar and the Altar of Praying for Grain are magnificent and solemn, as if they are telling the ancient emperors' rituals of offering sacrifices to heaven and their expectations for a good harvest.

“The architecture here is really exquisite.” Li Xiao sighed.

Zhang Yue nodded: "Yes, every building contains profound cultural heritage."

Huang Xu took out his camera and quickly pressed the shutter: "These scenery are so beautiful, I want to record them."

Li Xiao smiled and said: "You are right, these photos will become precious memories of our trip."

They strolled in the Temple of Heaven Park, feeling the charm of ancient civilization and immersed in the long river of history. Before they knew it, they had spent a wonderful morning, but their exploration was not over.

In the afternoon, they came to another famous scenic spot in BJ - the Great Wall. Standing on the Great Wall, they overlooked the winding beacon towers and felt the aspiration and pride of ancient warriors.

"I never thought we could see the Great Wall with our own eyes." Zhang Yue said with emotion.

Huang Xu patted Li Xiao on the shoulder: "Yes, this is really a rare experience."

Li Xiao looked into the distance, with the light of dreams shining in his eyes: "The Great Wall in this period of history bears witness to the wisdom and courage of the Chinese people. We must be as strong and unyielding as the Great Wall to meet the challenges of life."

They left wonderful memories on the Great Wall, as if embracing history and being friends with nature. This trip not only allowed them to see the magnificent scenery of China, but also made them cherish each other's friendship and the beauty of life even more.

On the third day, Li Xiao and his friends decided on their adventure trip in BJ. They came to the Old Summer Palace near the Summer Palace. This former royal garden had been severely damaged during the war, but it still retained the remains of some ancient buildings and a quiet lake.

As soon as they entered the Old Summer Palace, they were attracted by the green trees and blue lake. Li Xiao sighed: "Although this place has lost its former glory, you can still feel its former beauty and grandeur."

Zhang Yue nodded: "Yes, historical changes cannot stop our yearning for beauty."

Huang Xu picked up a stone and looked at the writing on it carefully: "Look, there are ancient poems engraved on it. It's really profound."

While admiring the scenery in the garden, they chatted about the history and legends of the Old Summer Palace. In this quiet garden, they seem to have traveled back to ancient times, integrating with history and culture.

After leaving the Old Summer Palace, they came to BJ's Hutong area. This is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Beijing, preserving a large number of traditional courtyard buildings and a unique living atmosphere.

Li Xiao said excitedly: "It's really interesting here. Every alley has its own story."

Zhang Yue smiled and added: "Yes, we can taste Hutong snacks while shopping."

Huang Xu said eagerly: "What a great idea. We must try all the special snacks!"

They walked through the alleys, tasted various delicacies, and felt the unique charm of the city. As night falls, they end the day's adventure, but the joy and memories in their hearts will accompany them forward. This journey not only allowed them to see the prosperity and history of Beijing, but also made them cherish every beautiful moment in life.

Li Xiao was full of curiosity, and a group of them began to explore the temple. The ancient buildings and incense-filled atmosphere in the temple gave them an otherworldly artistic conception.

"It's so peaceful and awe-inspiring here." Li Xiao whispered.

Zhang Yue nodded: "Yes, the atmosphere in the temple makes people feel a transcendent existence."

Huang Xu closed his eyes and sat quietly for a moment, then slowly said, "Here, I seem to be able to feel the inner peace and tranquility." They wandered around the temple, visiting Buddha statues and ancient scriptures. The monks in the temple enthusiastically introduced the history and culture of the temple to them, giving them a deeper understanding of Buddhism.

After leaving Lingguang Temple, they came to a nearby ancient town. This ancient town preserves a large number of ancient buildings and traditional handicrafts, and is full of a strong historical atmosphere.
