Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 1412 1427.

Li Xiao stood on the bustling streets of BJ, looking at the ancient and modern city in front of him, filled with expectations. His friends Zhang Yue and Huang Xu have been waiting aside for a long time, their eyes also shining with excitement.

"Brother Xiao, where are we going today?" Zhang Yue asked with a smile. He is always an active member of the team and can always infect the people around him with his enthusiasm.

Li Xiao smiled slightly, took out a map from his backpack, and pointed to a place marked on it: "Let's go to the Forbidden City first to feel the grandeur of the ancient Chinese royal family."

Huang Xu nodded. He is a history buff and has longed for the profound cultural heritage of the Forbidden City: "I heard that the buildings and cultural relics there are priceless treasures. I must take a closer look."

The three of them walked through the busy streets and arrived at the gate of the Forbidden City. The sun shines on the ancient city walls, and the splendid palaces shine in the sun, making people awe-inspiring.

"Wow, this palace is so spectacular!" Zhang Yue exclaimed. He took out his mobile phone and kept taking pictures, trying to record this beautiful moment.

Li Xiao and Huang Xu smiled at each other, knowing that this was just the beginning of their journey. In every corner of the Forbidden City, they can feel the richness of history and the charm of culture.

They walked among the palaces and listened to the tour guide telling the stories behind each building. Li Xiao became very interested in those exquisite carvings and murals. He carefully observed every detail, as if he could read the wisdom and emotions of the ancients.

"Look over there, that's the Qianqing Palace." Huang Xu pointed forward, his eyes flashing, "That's where the emperor handles government affairs, and it's also the place where grand ceremonies are held."

Zhang Yue ran over excitedly. He looked at every corner of the palace curiously and asked questions to Li Xiao and Huang Xu from time to time. The laughter of the three of them echoed in the empty palace.

As time went by, they visited every corner of the Forbidden City, from the Hall of Supreme Harmony to the Imperial Garden, from the Treasure Hall to the Clock Hall, leaving their footprints and laughter everywhere.

As the sun gradually set in the west, they walked out of the gate of the Forbidden City, their hearts filled with satisfaction and emotion. But they know that this is only part of their journey, and there are more beautiful scenery and stories waiting for them to explore.

"Where are you going next?" Zhang Yue asked excitedly.

Li Xiao smiled and pointed to another place on the map: "Let's go to the Great Wall to see the winding dragon and feel the tenacity and wisdom of the Chinese nation."

Huang Xu nodded in agreement, and the three of them embarked on a new journey, filled with expectations and excitement.

The story will continue to unfold. Li Xiao and his friends will leave their footprints in China's scenic spots and historic sites, experience different cultures, and share their laughter and emotions. In the following narrative, I will continue to add interactive stories to make the novel more vivid and interesting.

As night falls, the lights of Beijing gradually turn on. Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Huang Xu are tasting authentic BJ snacks in a small restaurant. The steaming noodles with soybean paste, the fragrant Peking duck, and the sweet but not greasy candied haws, each of them was full of praise.

"This roast duck is so delicious, I don't even want to leave." Zhang Yue said vaguely while chewing the duck legs.

Li Xiao smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, the fun is yet to come. Tomorrow's trip to the Great Wall is guaranteed to be an eye-opener for you."

Huang Xu is more concerned about the cultural significance behind the food: "These snacks are not just food, they carry BJ's hundreds of years of history and tradition."

Early the next morning, they drove to the Great Wall. As the vehicle drove on the winding mountain road, their mood became more and more exciting. Finally, when the outline of the Great Wall came into view, the three of them couldn't help but marvel.

"This is the Great Wall, it's so spectacular!" Zhang Yue said excitedly.

Li Xiao and Huang Xu were also shocked by the sight in front of them. They stood at the foot of the Great Wall, looking up at the giant dragon winding on the ridge, and their hearts were filled with awe.

They began to climb up the stone steps of the Great Wall. You can feel the weight of history at every step, and every brick and stone seems to tell an ancient story.

"Look over there, those beacon towers were used to convey military information in ancient times." Huang Xu pointed to the beacon towers in the distance and explained to his friends.

Zhang Yue asked curiously: "What will they do if the enemy comes?"

"They will light the beacon fire so that soldiers in the distance can see it and come to support." Huang Xu replied.

Li Xiao was impressed by the construction craftsmanship of the Great Wall: "Look at these bricks and stones, without the help of any modern machinery. How did the ancients transport them up and how did they build them?"

As they climbed, they discussed the history and architectural features of the Great Wall. As the height increases, the view becomes wider and wider, with a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and forests.

"Look over there, the Great Wall on that hilltop seems even more spectacular!" Zhang Yue said, pointing to a hilltop in the distance.

"Then let's go there and have a look!" Li Xiao suggested.

So, they quickened their pace and headed towards the mountain. When they stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the Great Wall at their feet, they felt filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"This is really incredible, we are actually standing on the Great Wall!" Zhang Yue said excitedly.

Li Xiao and Huang Xu were also shocked by the sight in front of them. They stood there for a long time, unwilling to leave.

As the sun gradually set in the west, they reluctantly left the Great Wall. But they know that this is only a small part of their journey, and there are many more beauties and stories waiting for them to explore.

"Where are you going next?" Zhang Yue asked excitedly.

Li Xiao smiled and pointed to another place on the map: "Let's go to Xi'an and see the ancient terracotta warriors and horses."

Huang Xu nodded in agreement, and the three of them embarked on a new journey, filled with expectations and excitement.

The story continues, Li Xiao and his friends will continue their exploration and discovery in the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Xi'an.

As the journey of Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Huang Xu continued, they came to the ancient capital of Xi'an, ready to explore the miracle there - the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang.

In the morning in Xi'an, the sun shines through the ancient city walls and shines on Li Xiao and the others. They walked through the bustling Muslim Street, tasted a variety of authentic snacks, and then took a bus to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum.

"The Terracotta Warriors are one of the eight wonders of the world. I've wanted to come and see them for a long time." Zhang Yue said excitedly, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Huang Xu appeared calmer. He flipped through the travel guide in his hand and introduced to Li Xiao and Zhang Yue: "These terracotta warriors and horses were made to protect the safety of Qin Shihuang in the afterlife. Each terracotta warrior has a different face and expression." "

Li Xiao nodded. He was also impressed by the skills of these ancient craftsmen: "Indeed, this is not just a sculpture, but also a cultural inheritance."

When they arrived at the museum, the first thing they saw was Pit No. 1, where thousands of pottery figurines were lined up, each of them lifelike, as if they would come alive at any time. "Look, the generals over there are so majestic!" Zhang Yue pointed at a tall pottery figurine and said. ,

Li Xiao was attracted by the cavalry figurines. They held spears or bows in different shapes, vividly reproducing the style of the ancient army.

Huang Xu was more interested in those chariot figurines. He carefully observed every detail, trying to discover more information about ancient wars.

They walked among the tunnels, as if they had traveled through time and space, returning to the era of fighting and iron horses. Every pottery figurine and every chariot tells them stories from thousands of years ago.

"Look, what is the pottery figurine over there holding?" Zhang Yue asked curiously.

"That should be an ancient weapon, maybe a sword or a spear." Li Xiao replied.

Huang Xu added: "These weapons are all made based on actual weapons, and every detail strives to be realistic."

They continued to visit Pit No. 2 and Pit No. 3, and they were shocked at every place. They discussed the craftsmanship of these pottery figurines and their significance in history.

As the visit ended, they walked out of the museum, filled with awe of ancient civilizations. But they know that this is only part of their journey, and there are more beautiful scenery and stories waiting for them to explore.

"Where are you going next?" Zhang Yue asked excitedly.

Li Xiao smiled and pointed to another place on the map: "Let's go to Chengdu to see the giant pandas and delicious food there."

Huang Xu nodded in agreement, and the three of them embarked on a new journey, filled with expectations and excitement.

The journey of Li Xiao and his friends continues. They will experience different cultures and cuisines in Chengdu and continue their exploration and discovery.

Following in the footsteps of Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Huang Xu, they came to Chengdu, a city famous for its leisurely pace of life and rich food. They are ready to experience authentic Sichuan culture and food here.

In the morning in Chengdu, the air is filled with spicy aroma. The three of them strolled through Kuanzhai Alley, an old neighborhood in Chengdu that retains many traditional Sichuan architecture and culture.

"Wow, the buildings here are so unique. It feels like walking into an ancient street." Zhang Yue praised, his eyes were attracted by the antique shops one after another.

Li Xiao was attracted by the fragrance wafting from the alley. He pointed to a snack bar in front and said, "Let's go and try the dandan noodles here."

Huang Xu nodded. He had heard about Chengdu's food for a long time and couldn't wait to try it.

They sat down and ordered authentic Sichuan snacks such as Dan Dan Noodles, Long Chao Shou and Couple's Fei Slices. As soon as the food was served, the bright red chili oil and tangy aroma made them salivate.

"This dandan noodles is really spicy, but it's so spicy!" Zhang Yue said while eating. Although it was so spicy that he was sweating, he still couldn't stop.

Li Xiao and Huang Xu also praised these delicacies. They discussed the characteristics and preparation methods of each snack while eating. ,

After the meal, they went to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding to get a glimpse of the national treasure.

"Giant pandas are so cute. Watching them eat bamboo makes people's hearts melt." Zhang Yue looked at the naive giant pandas and couldn't help but take out her mobile phone to take pictures.

Li Xiao and Huang Xu were also attracted by these cute animals. They observed the behavior of giant pandas and discussed the living habits of these animals.

"Did you know? The giant panda is not only China's national treasure, but also a symbol of nature conservation in the world." Huang Xu said, he is full of respect for the protection work of these animals.

After visiting the giant panda base, they went to a teahouse in Chengdu and experienced the leisurely afternoon tea time of Chengdu people.

"The tea culture here is really unique. You can listen to operas and watch face-changing while drinking tea. It's so interesting." Zhang Yue said with emotion.

Li Xiao and Huang Xu were also immersed in this leisurely atmosphere. They sipped tea, chatted, and enjoyed this rare tranquility.

As night fell, they went to the night market in Chengdu and tasted more local delicacies, such as Chuan Chuan Xiang, spicy rabbit head, etc.

"Chengdu is really a food paradise. I don't want to leave." Zhang Yue said with satisfaction.

Li Xiao and Huang Xu were also very satisfied with their trip to Chengdu, where they experienced Sichuan culture, tasted delicious food, and gained a lot of memories.

"Where are you going next?" Zhang Yue asked excitedly.

Li Xiao smiled and pointed to another place on the map: "Let's go to Yunnan and explore the natural scenery and diverse culture there."

Huang Xu nodded in agreement, and the three of them embarked on a new journey, filled with expectations and excitement.

The journey of Li Xiao and his friends continues, and they will experience different natural scenery and diverse cultures in Yunnan.

The next stop for Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Huang Xu is Yunnan, a place known for its diverse ethnic cultures and magnificent natural landscapes. They are looking forward to the upcoming adventure.

The sky in Yunnan is exceptionally clear, and the sun shines through the clouds on Li Xiao and the others. They first came to Kunming, a place known as the "City of Spring", to experience the spring-like climate here all year round.

"The air here is so fresh, I feel more energetic!" Zhang Yue took a deep breath, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Li Xiao was very interested in Kunming's flower market. He pointed at the colorful flowers and said, "Yunnan's flowers are very famous. Let's take some back as souvenirs."

Huang Xu was attracted by the multiculturalism here. He pointed to a shop selling ethnic costumes and said, "We can try wearing local ethnic costumes and experience different cultures."
