With the wonderful experience brought by Yangzhou's gardens and food, Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Huang Xu embarked on a new journey. This time, they decided to go to the capital of China, BJ, a city that combines classic and modern, history and culture.

"BJ has many famous historical sites, such as the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. I have always wanted to see them with my own eyes." Zhang Yue said expectantly.

"BJ's urban landscape is so spectacular, a perfect fusion of classic and modern." Zhang Yue exclaimed.

"Let's visit the Forbidden City first. It is a representative of ancient Chinese palace architecture and is of great historical value," Li Xiao suggested.

They came to the Forbidden City, where the palaces were majestic and magnificent, and every brick and tile revealed the royal style.

"The architecture of the Forbidden City is so magnificent that it makes people feel the weight of history." Zhang Yue exclaimed as he walked through the palace.

"Let's go visit the Terracotta Warriors first, which are the treasures of ancient Chinese sculpture art." Li Xiao suggested. They came to the Terracotta Warriors Museum, which is large in scale and full of lifelike terracotta warriors, which is breathtaking.

"The Terracotta Warriors are so spectacular. Each figurine has a different face and expression." Zhang Yue stood in front of the pit for a long time.

"Yes, this is the largest underground military museum in the world, showing the power of the Qin Dynasty army." Li Xiao responded.

"Yes, this trip will be an unforgettable memory in our lives." Li Xiao responded.

"Yes, this trip not only enriched our experience, but also deepened our friendship," said Huang Xu.

The three of them left a series of deep footprints and beautiful memories on the return train. As the train gradually moved away from Xi'an, they began to look forward to the next trip.

As the train slowly left Xi'an, Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Huang Xu were still immersed in this unforgettable journey. They looked through the photos in their cameras in the carriage and shared their memories and feelings.

"Every stop of this trip left a deep impression on us, from the unique mountains and waters of Zhangjiajie to the Jiangnan water town of Wuzhen, to the historical sites of Beijing and the ancient capital style of Xi'an," said Zhang Yue with emotion.

"Yes, every place has its unique charm and stories. These experiences and memories will become precious treasures in our lives." Li Xiao responded, his eyes flashing with longing for the future.

Huang Xu is organizing the photos and videos he took along the way to make a travel documentary. "I want more people to feel the beauty and significance of this trip through my lens."

The train traveled through the night, and the three decided to use this time to plan their next trip. They sat together and discussed various possible destinations and travel plans.

"I have always wanted to visit Yunnan, where there is the ancient town of Lijiang, Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake in Dali, and the mysterious Shangri-La." Zhang Yue offered his suggestion.

"Yunnan is indeed beautiful, and the integration of diverse cultures will definitely add more color to our trip." Li Xiao also agreed.

Huang Xu marked various scenic spots in Yunnan on the map. "We can start from Kunming, then go west and slowly visit Lijiang, Dali, Shangri-La and other places."

As the discussion deepened, their Yunnan trip plan gradually took shape. They decided to start preparing and collecting materials and information about Yunnan after returning to their respective cities.

The train finally arrived at the terminal, and the three packed their luggage and said goodbye reluctantly. They hugged each other tightly at the station, thanking each other for their company and support during this trip.

"Although this trip is over, our friendship and memories will last forever," Zhang Yue said with emotion.

“Yes, our story is not over yet. On our next trip, we will definitely have more exciting adventures and discoveries.” Li Xiao responded.

Huang Xu raised his camera and took a final photo of the three of them at the station. "This photo will be a testimony of our friendship and the beginning of our next trip."

They waved goodbye and set off on their own journeys. Although they were separated physically, they were still closely connected in spirit. They knew that this farewell was not the end, but the beginning of a new journey. In the near future, they will meet again and explore more unknown and beautiful things together.

The story of this trip will become one of the most precious memories in their lives and will be engraved in their hearts forever.

In the days after the farewell, Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Huang Xu all returned to their own cities and returned to the busyness of their daily lives. But they always carried in their hearts their love for travel, their yearning for the unknown, and their cherishment of each other's friendship.

They kept in touch through the WeChat group, sharing their daily lives and discussing and planning their next trip to Yunnan. Huang Xu made a small documentary with their previous travel photos and videos and posted it on social media, which received many likes and comments from friends.

"Seeing so many people like our travel stories, I feel our journey has become more meaningful." Huang Xu shared his joy in the group.

Zhang Yue replied: “Yes, our travels not only enrich ourselves, but also inspire and encourage others to explore the world.”

Li Xiao added: “This is the charm of travel. It makes us grow and makes our lives more colorful.”

As time went on, they began to prepare for their trip to Yunnan. They looked up information and learned about Yunnan's customs, history and culture, as well as local food and characteristics. They discussed the itinerary, booked accommodation, and arranged transportation. Everyone invested a lot of enthusiasm and energy in this trip.

"I can't wait to go to Yunnan. The natural scenery and diverse culture there will definitely leave us with unforgettable memories." Zhang Yue expressed his expectations in the group.

"We must be adequately prepared to ensure a smooth trip and also respect local culture and customs," Li Xiao reminded everyone.

Huang Xu is studying photography techniques: "I want to learn some new photography techniques, hoping to take more stunning photos in Yunnan."

Finally, after several months of preparation, they welcomed the day of departure again. They met in Kunming and started their journey to Yunnan.

Yunnan is famous for its unique geographical location and diverse ethnic cultures. From Kunming's reputation as the Spring City, to Dali's romantic scenery, to Lijiang's ancient city charm, to Shangri-La's mysterious paradise, each place has its own unique charm.

In Kunming, they visited the Western Hills and Dianchi Lake, and tasted the local cross-bridge rice noodles and flower cakes. In Dali, they cycled around Erhai Lake, visited the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple, and experienced the three-course tea culture of the Bai ethnic group. In Lijiang, they strolled through the ancient city, listened to Naxi ancient music, and tasted butter tea and chickpea jelly.

"Every place in Yunnan has its own unique beauty. The natural scenery and ethnic culture here have opened my eyes." Zhang Yue exclaimed on Sifang Street in Lijiang Ancient Town.
