Chapter 1442 1457.

Huang Xu immediately became excited: "Great! I've always wanted to see the modern art there and feel the creative atmosphere."

The next day, the three of them came to 798 Art District, which used to be an abandoned factory area, but now has become a gathering place for artists and creative workers, full of the atmosphere of modern art.

They strolled through the streets of the art district, admiring various sculptures and murals and feeling the unique artistic atmosphere here.

“The artworks here are so creative,” Zhang Yue exclaimed. “Every piece is eye-catching.”

Huang Xu was attracted by the paintings in a gallery. He walked in and admired them carefully: "The colors and composition of these paintings are unique and impressive."

Li Xiao prefers those creative studios and design shops. He walked into a handmade leather goods shop and admired the exquisite leather products.

"The leather goods here are so exquisite, each one is like a work of art," said Li Xiao.

Zhang Yue and Huang Xu also joined him. The three of them selected their favorite items in the store and enjoyed the fun of shopping.

In the afternoon, they found a cafe in the art district, sat by the window, and enjoyed a leisurely afternoon tea time.

“The coffee here is really delicious,” Zhang Yue said. “Drinking coffee in such an environment makes me feel relaxed.”

Huang Xu also said with emotion: "Yes, this trip made me feel the diverse culture of BJ. From the ancient hutongs to the modern art districts, every moment was full of surprises."

Li Xiao smiled, his heart filled with gratitude and happiness. He knew that this trip was not just a simple tour, but also a spiritual journey, which made him understand the meaning of life and the preciousness of friendship.

As the afternoon sun in the 798 Art District shines through the windows of the cafe onto the table, Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Huang Xu sit together and enjoy a relaxing afternoon tea time. The aroma of coffee and the sweetness of desserts interweave together, making people feel happy.

"Brother Xiao, what are our next plans?" Zhang Yue asked, his eyes flashing with curiosity about the unknown.

Li Xiao thought for a moment and said, "There are many interesting places in BJ, such as Tiananmen Square, the National Museum, and the Olympic Park. We can go and have a look."

Huang Xu nodded in agreement: "Yes, these places are BJ's iconic locations, we can't miss them."

The next day, they first came to Tiananmen Square, where people were coming and going, and the five-star red flag fluttered in the wind under the blue sky, looking particularly solemn and dignified.

"It's really spectacular here," Zhang Yue exclaimed. "Standing on the square, I feel a deep sense of pride."

Huang Xu also said with emotion: "Yes, this place has witnessed the historical changes of China, and every brick and stone is full of stories."

Li Xiao stood there quietly, feeling the atmosphere of the square. He knew that this was not just a square, but also a symbol of a country.

Then they visited the National Museum, which houses a rich collection of cultural relics, from ancient bronze artifacts to modern and contemporary artworks, each of which is breathtaking.

"The cultural relics here are so exquisite," Zhang Yue exclaimed, "each one represents China's long history and culture."

Huang Xu was attracted by an ancient landscape painting. He stood in front of the painting for a long time and was reluctant to leave: "The artistic conception of this painting is profound and makes people feel relaxed and happy."

Li Xiao prefers exhibits that reflect history. He feels that these exhibits allow him to have a deeper understanding of Chinese history and culture.

In the afternoon, they came to the Olympic Park, which was full of green trees, birdsong and flowers, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding modern buildings.

“The environment here is really nice,” Zhang Yue said. “Walking in such a natural environment makes people feel very relaxed.”

Huang Xu was attracted by the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube in the park. He took out his camera and recorded the unique features of these modern buildings.

Li Xiao prefers to sit on a bench in the park, quietly observing everything around him and feeling the vitality and harmony of the city of BJ.

As night fell, they decided to end the day's journey. On the way back, the three discussed their feelings today and plans for tomorrow.

"Brother Xiao, this trip was really great," Zhang Yue said with a smile, "I hope we can have more opportunities to travel together in the future."

Huang Xu also nodded: "Yes, this trip has given me a deeper understanding of BJ. This city has both ancient history and modern vitality."

Li Xiao smiled, his heart filled with gratitude and happiness. He knew that this trip was not just a simple tour, but also a spiritual journey, which made him understand the meaning of life and the preciousness of friendship.

Although they have visited many famous attractions in BJ, the journey of Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Huang Xu is not over yet. They decided to use their last day in BJ to visit some places that are closer to daily life and experience the civic culture of BJ.

"Let's go to the Temple of Heaven Park tomorrow. It's another side of Beijing," Li Xiao suggested. "I heard that there are many citizens exercising there in the morning. It's very lively."

Zhang Yue responded excitedly: "Yes, I heard that the architecture of the Temple of Heaven is very magnificent, and the ancient trees there are also very unique."

···························································································Dividing line·····································

Huang Xu also nodded in agreement: "Yes, and we can go to experience the morning market in BJ and see what the daily life of the locals is like."

The next morning, the three of them came to the Temple of Heaven Park. In the early morning, as Li Xiao said, many citizens were doing morning exercises there, some doing Tai Chi, some dancing, and some singing, a lively scene.

"The mornings here are so full of energy," Zhang Yue said as she walked. "Seeing everyone living so actively, I feel like I'm also infected."

Huang Xu was attracted by the ancient trees in the park. He carefully observed the trees that had gone through so much vicissitudes of life: "These ancient trees have witnessed too much history. Each one is like a storyteller."

Li Xiao prefers to sit quietly on the bench, looking at everything around him and feeling the daily life of BJ citizens.

Afterwards, they went to a nearby morning market. The market was bustling with people, and all kinds of fresh vegetables, fruits, and snack vendors filled the streets. The three of them shuttled among the crowds, experiencing the daily life of BJ citizens. "There are so many snacks here, and they are all very fresh," Zhang Yue said while picking fruits, "I have never seen so many kinds of fruits."

Huang Xu was impressed by the lively scene in the market: "The market here is really full of life, and each stall has its own characteristics."

Li Xiao prefers to communicate with the vendors and learn about their stories and lives.

In the afternoon, the three decided to visit BJ's old town, where there are many traditional handicraft shops and teahouses.

"We can go there to buy some handicrafts as souvenirs," Li Xiao suggested, "and we can also experience the leisurely time in the teahouse again."

In the old town, they visited several handicraft shops and bought some exquisite paper-cuts, clay figurines and cloisonné crafts. Afterwards, they found an old teahouse, sat in the antique teahouse, tasted the fragrant tea, and enjoyed a leisurely afternoon.

"This trip was perfect," Zhang Yue said with emotion. "Not only did I visit BJ's historical sites, but I also experienced the local daily life and got to know another side of the city."

Huang Xu also nodded: "Yes, this trip has given me a deeper understanding of BJ. This city has both ancient history and modern vitality, as well as a strong atmosphere of life."

Li Xiao smiled, his heart filled with gratitude and happiness. He knew that this trip was not just a simple tour, but also a spiritual journey, which made him understand the meaning of life and the preciousness of friendship.

As the afternoon sun in the old city of BJ gradually softened, Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Huang Xu sat in the teahouse, enjoying the tranquility and leisure. The teahouse was filled with a faint scent of tea, and occasionally a few Peking Opera singings from old BJ made people feel as if they had traveled through time and space.

"Brother Xiao, after this trip, have you ever thought about writing a book to record our experience?" Zhang Yue suddenly suggested.

Li Xiao smiled and said, "That's a good idea. We can record every detail of this trip and share it with more people."

Huang Xu also said excitedly: "Yes, we can organize the stories, photos and feelings of this trip and make a travel diary."

The three of them drank tea and discussed how to organize their travel experiences. They decided to record their feelings and stories from each person's perspective, and then combine them with photos and maps to make a colorful travel diary.

"We can call this book "BJ Impressions," Li Xiao suggested, "This will not only reflect our impression of the city of BJ, but also attract the interest of readers."

Zhang Yue and Huang Xu both agreed with the title of the book. They decided to sort out their own parts after the trip and then compile them into a complete notebook.

As the sun slowly set, the three of them left the teahouse and strolled along the streets of the old city. They decided to go to Wangfujing Street again before leaving BJ to experience its prosperity and vitality.

Wangfujing Street was brightly lit and bustling with people. Various shops, restaurants and street performers formed a lively scene. The three of them tasted various snacks, visited several specialty shops and watched a wonderful street performance.

"This trip was really wonderful," Zhang Yue said with emotion, "Not only did I visit BJ's historical sites, but I also experienced the local daily life and met so many interesting people."

Huang Xu also nodded: "Yes, this trip has given me a deeper understanding of BJ. This city has both ancient history and modern vitality, as well as a strong atmosphere of life."

Li Xiao smiled, his heart filled with gratitude and happiness. He knew that this trip was not just a simple tour, but also a spiritual journey, which made him understand the meaning of life and the preciousness of friendship.

"Yes, the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is the main building of the Temple of Heaven and it was also the place where ancient emperors offered sacrifices to heaven," Li Xiao explained.

Huang Xu took out his camera and began to record this magnificent building. "The architecture and carvings here are very exquisite, and every part is worth savoring."

They walked into the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests and toured this historic building. The decoration inside the hall was gorgeous and solemn, and every detail revealed the dignity and majesty of the ancient royal family.

"The decorations here are so exquisite," Zhang Yue exclaimed, "Everywhere is full of artistic atmosphere."

"Yes, every brick and every tile here embodies the hard work of the craftsmen," Li Xiao said with emotion.

Huang Xu was taking photos non-stop. “I want to record all these beautiful views and enjoy them when I get back.”

After visiting the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, they came to the Echo Wall, a circular wall that is said to allow people on one side to hear clearly what they are saying.

“This is the Echo Wall, it’s magical!” Zhang Yue said excitedly.

“Yes, the acoustics here are very unique,” ​​Li Xiao explained, “We can give it a try.”

They stood on both sides of the echo wall. Zhang Yue whispered something, and Li Xiao and Huang Xu heard her voice clearly on the other side.

“Wow, I can really hear it!” Huang Xu said in surprise.

"It's amazing," Zhang Yue also felt very excited.

They played in front of the Echo Wall for a long time, experiencing the magical acoustic effect. Later, they visited other attractions such as the Circular Mound Altar, and each one of them shocked them.

"Today is really an eye-opener," Zhang Yue said with emotion on the way out of the Temple of Heaven.

"Yes, every part of the Temple of Heaven is full of the weight of history," said Li Xiao.

Huang Xu was thinking, "Where should we go tomorrow? There are still many places in BJ that are worth exploring."

"We can go to Nanluoguxiang, where there are many specialty shops and snacks," Li Xiao suggested.

“Good idea, I heard it has the flavor of old BJ’s,” Zhang Yue said excitedly.

"That's settled then. We'll go to Nanluoguxiang tomorrow." Huang Xu nodded in agreement.

As night fell, the three of them ended their tour of Wangfujing Street and returned to their residence. They knew that they would leave BJ tomorrow and end this unforgettable trip. But they also believed that the experience and memories of this trip would become one of the most precious treasures in their lives.
