Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 1447 1462.

In the morning of Guangdong, the sun shines through the lush leaves and falls on Li Xiao's face. He stretches himself, sits up from the bed, and rubs his sleepy eyes. Today is the first day of his China tour with his friends Zhang Yue and Huang Xu. They plan to start from GD Province and head north to explore this ancient and vibrant country.

Li Xiao is a young man who loves life and is full of curiosity. His friend Zhang Yue is a lively and cheerful girl who always finds fun in the journey. And Huang Xu is the "brain trust" among the three of them, always able to provide useful information and suggestions at critical moments.

"Brother Xiao, where is our first stop today?" Zhang Yue asked excitedly while packing his backpack.

Li Xiao smiled and replied: "Let's go to Baiyun Mountain in Guangzhou first. It has beautiful scenery and is one of the iconic attractions in Guangzhou."

They took the subway and soon arrived at the foot of Baiyun Mountain. Along the winding mountain road, they enjoyed the beautiful scenery and chatted along the way.

"Look, how magnificent the mountains over there are!" Huang Xu said, pointing to the mountains in the distance.

"Yes, and the air here is very fresh." Zhang Yue took a deep breath, as if he wanted to inhale all the fresh air into his lungs.

They walked and stopped along the way, taking pictures from time to time. Finally, they reached the top of the mountain, and looking out, they could see the entire Guangzhou city, with tall buildings and green mountains and clear waters complementing each other, which was a beautiful sight.

"The scenery here is so beautiful!" Li Xiao exclaimed.

"Yes, but I'm more looking forward to the delicious Guangzhou food after we get down the mountain," Zhang Yue said mischievously.

After descending the mountain, they came to the old city of Guangzhou and tasted the authentic Guangzhou morning tea. Baskets of exquisite dim sum and bowls of fragrant porridge made them feast on the mouth.

"The snacks here are so delicious that I don't want to leave." Zhang Yue said while eating.

"Don't be impatient, we still have many places to go next." Li Xiao said with a smile.

After eating and drinking, they went to the Chen Clan Academy in Guangzhou to admire the exquisite wood and stone carvings there. Afterwards, they watched a wonderful Cantonese opera performance and felt the unique cultural charm of Guangdong.

As night fell, they wandered the streets of Guangzhou, feeling the prosperity and vitality of the city. Although the day's schedule was tight, they enjoyed it.

"Today has been so fulfilling. Where are we going tomorrow?" Zhang Yue asked excitedly.

"Tomorrow, we will go to Shenzhen, where there are more modern attractions waiting for us." Li Xiao replied.

In this way, their journey in China has just begun, and every day is filled with new surprises and discoveries. Their story becomes more colorful with each trip.

The next day, Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Huang Xu got up early and prepared to go to Shenzhen. They took the high-speed rail, crossed the fields and cities of Guangdong, and soon arrived in this vibrant modern city.

"Shenzhen is truly a miracle. It has transformed from a small fishing village into an international metropolis," Huang Xu said with emotion.

"Yes, and the sense of technology here is particularly strong," Zhang Yue added.

They first came to one of Shenzhen's landmarks, the Window of the World, which houses famous attractions from around the world, such as the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty. Although they are all scaled-down versions, they are still amazing.

"Look at this, the Statue of Liberty. Although it's a little small, it's still spectacular." Li Xiao said with a smile.

"I prefer the Eiffel Tower here. It must be beautiful when the lights are on at night," Zhang Yue said with anticipation.

They strolled in the Window of the World, as if they had traveled through time and space, and visited places of interest around the world. Afterwards, they went to the nearby Happy Valley to experience the exciting roller coaster and various amusement facilities.

"Wow, this roller coaster is so thrilling!" Zhang Yue screamed, with an excited smile on her face.

"I prefer the carousel here. It makes me feel like I'm back in my childhood," said Li Xiao.

After the tour, they tasted local food on the streets of Shenzhen. As an immigrant city, Shenzhen has gathered food from all over the country, which made them feast on the local food.

"The Cantonese cuisine here is really authentic, and there are also Sichuan and Hunan cuisines. There are so many choices." Huang Xu said while eating.

"I prefer the seafood here, it's fresh and delicious," Zhang Yue added.

As night fell, they took a walk on the beach in Shenzhen, with the sea breeze blowing and the starry sky shining. They talked about what they had seen and heard that day and shared their feelings with each other.

"Where are we going tomorrow?" Zhang Yue asked curiously.

"Let's go to Zhuhai, where there are beautiful islands and romantic Lovers' Road." Li Xiao replied.

On the third day, they arrived in Zhuhai. The islands in Zhuhai are beautiful, the sea water is crystal clear, and the beach is soft and fine. They took a speedboat to Wailingding Island in Zhuhai.

"Once we get to the island, we can swim as much as we want." Li Xiao said with a smile.

The scenery on the island was even more charming, they strolled on the beach, enjoying the sunshine and sea breeze. They also participated in diving activities and explored the underwater world.

"The underwater world is so amazing, with all kinds of fish and corals," Huang Xu said with emotion.

"Yes, this trip has opened my eyes," Zhang Yue added.

On the island, they also tasted a fresh seafood feast and felt the unique flavor of the island.

"The seafood here is so delicious, I don't want to leave." Zhang Yue said while eating.

"Standing at such a high place and looking at the sea, I feel like my whole body is open." Li Xiao exclaimed.

"And the air here is so fresh that I don't want to leave." Zhang Yue said with a smile.
