Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Huang Xu stood in front of the Zhuhai Fisherwoman statue in GD Province, with the sea breeze blowing and the sun shining on their faces, reflecting a golden glow. Li Xiao is a young man who loves traveling. This time he decided to take his two friends to explore China's beautiful rivers and mountains.

"Look, this is Zhuhai's iconic building, the Fisher Girl Statue." Li Xiao pointed at the towering sculpture, his eyes flashing with excitement.

Zhang Yue is a lively girl. She jumped up and down, pointing to the sea in the distance and said, "Wow, the sea is so blue. Let's go for a walk on the beach!"

Huang Xu was calmer. He took out his camera and began to record the beauty of this moment: "This scenery is so beautiful. We must take more photos to commemorate it."

They strolled along the coastline, feeling the sound of the waves hitting the shore and enjoying the warm sunshine. Later, they came to Zhuhai's Lovers South Road, where there are many specialty snacks and handicraft shops. The three of them tasted local seafood here and bought some souvenirs.

As night fell, they watched a wonderful Cantonese opera performance and felt the profound heritage of Guangdong culture. After the performance, Li Xiao suggested: "Tomorrow we go to Baiyun Mountain in Guangzhou, the scenery there is also beautiful."

The next day, they arrived at the foot of Baiyun Mountain. Zhang Yue jumped up excitedly: "Wow, this mountain is so high, we must climb to the top!"

Huang Xu took out a map and began to plan a route: "Let's start from here and walk along this route to see more scenery."

As they climbed the mountain, they admired the scenery along the way and stopped to take pictures from time to time. When they reached the top of the mountain, they were shocked by the scenery in front of them. The entire Guangzhou city was in full view, with tall buildings and green mountains and clear waters complementing each other.

In the teahouse on the top of the mountain, they tasted local refreshments and talked with the teahouse owner about Guangzhou's customs and practices. The owner enthusiastically introduced Guangzhou's history, culture and special cuisine, which gave them a deeper understanding of the city.

After going down the mountain, they went to Guangzhou's Yuexiu Park, where there are many historic buildings and beautiful garden landscapes. They strolled in the park, admiring the quaint buildings and lush trees, and feeling the historical atmosphere of Guangzhou.

In the evening, they tasted local snacks on Capital Road in Guangzhou and bought some special handicrafts. Zhang Yue smiled and said, "The snacks here are so delicious that I don't want to leave."

Huang Xu took out his camera and showed what they had gained that day: "Look, these are our souvenirs, and each one has its own story."

Li Xiao nodded in agreement: "Yes, the meaning of traveling is to experience different cultures, feel different scenery, and leave beautiful memories."

They spent a few enjoyable days in Guangzhou before continuing their journey to the next city to continue exploring the beauty and culture of China.

As night fell in Guangzhou, Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Huang Xu sat in an open-air teahouse by the Pearl River, enjoying the breeze and the night view. The melodious sound of the zither came from the teahouse, accompanied by the sparkling waves of the Pearl River, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

"Let's go to Foshan tomorrow. I heard that the martial arts culture there is very famous." Li Xiao suggested.

Zhang Yue clapped his hands excitedly: "Yes, I have long wanted to see a real martial arts performance!"

Huang Xu wrote in his notebook: "Foshan, the hometown of martial arts, also has ceramic art. We must go and see it."

The next morning, they set off for Foshan. After arriving in Foshan, they first visited the famous Foshan Ancestral Temple, where Beidi is enshrined and is one of the cultural symbols of Foshan. The three were amazed by the exquisite architecture and detailed carvings of the Ancestral Temple.

"The carvings here are so exquisite, and every statue is lifelike." Zhang Yue said while taking pictures.

Huang Xu is more concerned about the structure and history of the building: "The architectural style of this temple is very distinctive, integrating many elements."

Li Xiao was attracted by the martial arts performance in the temple: "Look over there, there is a martial arts performance, let's go and take a look."

They arrived at the performance area and saw several martial artists in traditional costumes demonstrating traditional martial arts such as Southern Fist and Northern Leg. The whistling fists and flying legs were too much for the three to watch.

After the performance, Li Xiao couldn't help but approach the martial artist to talk and asked about some basic martial arts moves and techniques. Zhang Yue imitated him and made everyone laugh.

In the afternoon, they came to Foshan Ceramic Village, which has a long history of ceramic production. They visited the ceramic production process, from clay preparation to molding, glazing, and firing, and every step opened their eyes.

"These ceramic artworks are so beautiful, each one is like a work of art," Zhang Yue exclaimed.

Huang Xu was selecting ceramic souvenirs: "We will buy some as gifts for family and friends."

Li Xiao is more interested in the history and culture of ceramics: "These ceramics are not only beautiful, but also carry the culture and history of Foshan."

In the evening, they tasted Foshan's specialties in a local restaurant, such as double-skin milk, blind man's cake, etc. They were full of praise for the delicious food.

"Foshan's food is really well-deserved, and each dish has a unique flavor." Li Xiao said while eating.

Zhang Yue was trying different snacks: "This double-skin milk is so smooth, and this blind man's cake is so fragrant."

Huang Xu was recording what he saw and heard today: "Today's experience is so rich, martial arts, ceramics, food, each one is unforgettable."

Late at night, the three of them strolled along the streets of Foshan, feeling the tranquility and harmony of the city. They talked about what they had seen and heard today and looked forward to tomorrow's journey.

"Let's go to Zhaoqing tomorrow. There is Qixingyan there. I heard the scenery is very beautiful." Li Xiao suggested.

Zhang Yue and Huang Xu both agreed that they were looking forward to a new day, a new journey and new experiences.

The morning sun shone through the curtains, waking up the three people who were still asleep. Li Xiao opened his eyes, stretched, and then gently woke up Zhang Yue and Huang Xu.

"Get up, today we are going to Zhaoqing to see the Qixingyan there." Li Xiao's voice was full of anticipation.

Zhang Yue rubbed his eyes and yawned: "Qixingyan, it sounds beautiful, I can't wait to go and see it."

Huang Xu had already packed his backpack. He checked his camera and map: "Everything is ready, let's go."

They drove to Zhaoqing, enjoying the rural scenery outside the window along the way, and were in a particularly good mood. After arriving at the Qixingyan Scenic Area, they were deeply attracted by the scenery in front of them.

"The mountains and rivers here are so beautiful, just like a painting." Zhang Yue exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Huang Xu was busy looking for the best shooting angle: "The light and colors here are very suitable for taking pictures. I want to take more pictures." Li Xiao was more focused on the experience: "Let's go take a boat tour of the lake and feel the beauty of the mountains and rivers here."

They rented a small boat, and the boatman rowed skillfully, taking them slowly forward on the lake. The lake was sparkling, reflecting the surrounding mountains and trees, which was beautiful.

"The water here is so clear and the mountains are so green. It's a great place to relax." Li Xiao said with emotion.

Zhang Yue took out his mobile phone and kept taking pictures: "I want to record all these beautiful views and enjoy them slowly when I get back."

Huang Xu wrote in his notebook: "Qixingyan is composed of seven peaks, each with its own unique legend and history."

After touring the lake, they went ashore to explore other attractions in Qixingyan. They visited the caves of Xinghu Lake and admired the peculiar forms of stalactites and stalagmites; they climbed the mountain to overlook the beauty of the entire Xinghu Lake; they also visited the local cultural exhibition and learned about the history and culture of Zhaoqing.

"Zhaoqing not only has beautiful scenery, but also rich culture," Li Xiao concluded.

Zhang Yue was tasting the local snacks: "The snacks here are also very unique. I want to try them carefully."

Huang Xu was selecting souvenirs: "The handicrafts here are very local. I want to take some back."

As the sun set, they enjoyed a sumptuous dinner at a restaurant by the lake and tasted Zhaoqing's specialties, such as Zhaoqing white-cut chicken and Zhaoqing tofu.

"Today's trip was really perfect. It had delicious food, beautiful scenery, and culture. It had everything." Li Xiao said with satisfaction.

Zhang Yue was planning tomorrow's itinerary: "Where are we going tomorrow? I heard that Danxia Mountain in Shaoguan is also very beautiful."

Huang Xu was sorting out today's gains: "I have already planned tomorrow's itinerary, Danxia Mountain, here we come!"

As night fell, they strolled through the streets of Zhaoqing, enjoying the tranquility and beauty of the city. They talked about what they had seen and heard today and looked forward to tomorrow's journey.

As the night deepened, the three of them strolled along the streets of Zhaoqing, enjoying the quiet night. They discussed tomorrow's itinerary, and their hearts were filled with anticipation for Mount Danxia.

The next day, just after dawn, Li Xiao woke up Zhang Yue and Huang Xu, and they quickly packed their bags and set off for Shaoguan. After several hours of driving, they finally arrived at Danxia Mountain.

Danxia Mountain is famous for its unique red rock landforms, which look particularly spectacular under the sunlight. Standing at the foot of the mountain, Li Xiao looked up at the towering peaks and couldn't help feeling awe in his heart.

"The mountains here are so spectacular, and so bright red," Zhang Yue exclaimed.

Huang Xu quickly took out his camera and began to record the beautiful scenery: "The texture and color of these rocks are truly a masterpiece of nature."

They began to climb up along the hiking trail, admiring the unique landforms of Danxia Mountain along the way. On both sides of the trail, there were strange peaks and rocks of various shapes, which made people dazzled.

"Look over there, does that mountain look like an eagle spreading its wings ready to fly?" Li Xiao said, pointing to a mountain in the distance.

Zhang Yue jumped up excitedly: "Really? What a great image! Huang Xu, take a picture for us."

They found a viewing platform on the top of the mountain, standing there, they could overlook the magnificent scenery of the entire Danxia Mountain. The sunlight sprinkled on the red rocks, reflecting a dazzling light, making people feel as if they were in a magical world.

"The scenery here is so stunning, I feel like I'm in a painting," Li Xiao said with emotion.

Zhang Yue was looking for the best angle to take photos: "I want to record all these beautiful views and share them with my friends when I get back."

Huang Xu wrote in his notebook: "Danxia Mountain is famous for its unique red rocks and peculiar landforms. It is a geological wonder."

After going down the mountain, they visited the local cultural village and learned about the geological formation of Danxia Mountain and the local folk culture. The villagers were hospitable and showed them local handicrafts and traditional food.

"The handicrafts here are very unique. I want to take some back as souvenirs." Zhang Yue selected various small accessories.

Huang Xu was tasting local specialties: "The snacks here are also very flavorful and different from what we have eaten before."

Li Xiao was chatting with the elderly in the village, learning about their lifestyles and local legends.

As night fell, they enjoyed an authentic dinner at a small restaurant in the village and tasted local specialties. After dinner, they sat around the campfire, listening to the village elders telling the legends of Danxia Mountain and feeling the quiet night.

"Today's trip was so meaningful. Not only did I see beautiful scenery, but I also learned about so many interesting cultures and stories." Li Xiao said with satisfaction.

Zhang Yue was planning tomorrow's itinerary: "Where are we going tomorrow? I heard that Mount Lushan in Jiangxi is also very beautiful."

Huang Xu was sorting out today's gains: "I have already planned tomorrow's itinerary, Lushan, here we come!"

As the bonfire gradually died down, the three of them sat quietly under the starry sky, enjoying the peaceful night and looking forward to tomorrow's journey.

The morning dew was glittering at the foot of Danxia Mountain, and Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Huang Xu woke up to the sound of birds singing. They packed up their tents and prepared to head to Lushan Mountain in Jiangxi.

After several hours of driving, the three finally arrived at the foot of Mount Lu, which is famous for its beautiful scenery of clouds and mist and cascading waterfalls, and is known as the "Famous Mountain in the South of the Yangtze River".

"Look at the clouds, it's like a dream." Zhang Yue exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with curiosity about the unknown.

Huang Xu took out his camera and began to look for the best shooting angle: "The natural scenery here is so beautiful. I want to capture this moment of clouds and mist."

Li Xiao was more concerned about the itinerary: "Let's go to San Diequan first. The waterfall there is very famous." (End of this chapter)
