Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 1515 1530.

After several hours of driving, they finally arrived at the foot of the Longji Rice Terraces. Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, they saw that the terraces extended from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, with beautiful lines and magnificent momentum.

"Pengfei, look at these terraced fields, they are so spectacular!" Li Xiao pointed at the scenery in front of him and exclaimed.

Huang Pengfei couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Xiao, the scenery here is more beautiful than I imagined. I want to use my camera to record it all."

They began to climb up the mountain road, admiring the beautiful scenery of the terraced fields along the way. In the sun, the water of the terraced fields sparkled, reflecting the dazzling light, and contrasted with the surrounding green mountains.

"Brother Xiao, the terraces here are truly ingenious. I wonder how the locals built such a spectacular sight." Huang Pengfei said as he walked.

Li Xiao replied: "This is the result of the hard work of the local people for generations. They took advantage of the terrain here and reclaimed these terraces, which not only met their daily needs but also created such a beautiful landscape."

They reached the top of the mountain and stood on the observation deck, taking in the view of the entire terraced field. The layers of terraced fields stretched from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, blending perfectly with the surrounding natural landscape.

"Pengfei, look at the terraced fields over there. They are sparkling in the sun. They are so beautiful." Li Xiao said, pointing to the terraced fields in the distance.

Huang Pengfei also took out his camera and kept taking pictures: "Brother Xiao, the scenery here is really suitable for taking pictures. I will take more pictures and enjoy them slowly when I go back."

They stayed on the observation deck on the top of the mountain for a long time, until the sun began to set and the light and shadows on the terraces began to change, revealing a completely different scene.

"Brother Xiao, it's time for us to go down the mountain. I want to try the local farm meals." Huang Pengfei suggested.

Li Xiao nodded in agreement: "Good idea, I also want to experience the local food culture."

They enjoyed a sumptuous dinner at a farm restaurant at the foot of the mountain and tasted local specialties such as bamboo tube rice, wild vegetables, etc. Every dish was unforgettable.

After dinner, they rested in the B&B at the foot of the mountain, lying on the bed and thinking about today's journey.

"Pengfei, where are we going tomorrow?" Li Xiao asked.

Huang Pengfei thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, let's go to Zhangjiajie. Tianzi Mountain and Yuanjiajie there are very famous. I want to go and see them."

Li Xiao's eyes flashed with excitement: "Good idea! That's settled, we'll set off early tomorrow morning!"

The two gradually fell asleep in their vision of the future, but their journey continued.

In the morning, Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei set off on their journey to Zhangjiajie. They were filled with yearning for this land known as "the world's first wonder". The train shuttled through the mountains and rivers of Hunan, and the scenery outside the window kept changing, from lush fields to rolling mountains, every place was full of vitality.

"Brother Xiao, I heard that the mountains in Zhangjiajie are very special, like stone pillars." Huang Pengfei said curiously.

Li Xiao nodded, his eyes sparkling with anticipation: "Yes, the mountains there are of different shapes, some are like swords piercing the sky, and some are like screens with layers of mountains."

After several hours of driving, they finally arrived at Zhangjiajie. As soon as they got out of the station, the fresh air and the mountains that were vaguely visible in the distance made them feel indescribably excited.

They first came to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, which is the best place to enjoy the unique peaks and rocks of Zhangjiajie. They took an eco-friendly car to Tianzi Mountain, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way.

"Pengfei, look at those mountains. They have so many shapes and different beauty from every angle." Li Xiao said, pointing to the mountains outside the window.

Huang Pengfei also praised: "Brother Xiao, the mountains here are really amazing, each one has its own unique posture."

After arriving at Tianzi Mountain, they began to tour along the trail. The peaks of Tianzi Mountain are majestic and magnificent, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland. They visited He Long Park, Tianzi Pavilion and other scenic spots, each of which made people linger.

"Brother Xiao, look at the mountain over there. Doesn't it look like a general commanding thousands of troops?" Huang Pengfei said, pointing to a mountain with a unique shape.

Li Xiao smiled and replied: "Indeed, the mountains in Zhangjiajie are really full of imagination."

In the afternoon, they took the cable car to Yuanjiajie, which is the prototype of the "Hallelujah Mountain" in the movie "Avatar". Standing on the observation deck of Yuanjiajie, they were deeply shocked by the scenery in front of them.

"Pengfei, look at the mountains over there, they are so spectacular that they cannot be described in words." Li Xiao exclaimed.

Huang Pengfei also took out his camera and kept taking pictures: "Brother Xiao, the scenery here is so beautiful. I want to record it and bring it back to show my friends."

They visited the No. 1 Bridge in the World, the Soul-Enchanting Terrace and other scenic spots in Yuanjiajie, each of which was breathtaking. As the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the mountain peaks, the entire Zhangjiajie was dyed with a layer of gold.

"Brother Xiao, it's time for us to go down the mountain. I want to try the local specialties." Huang Pengfei suggested.

Li Xiao nodded in agreement: "Good idea, I also want to experience the local cuisine."

They enjoyed a sumptuous dinner at the restaurant at the foot of the mountain and tasted Zhangjiajie's specialties, such as Tujia three-pot, bacon, etc. Every dish was unforgettable.

After dinner, they rested in the hotel in Zhangjiajie, lying on the bed and thinking about today's journey.

"Pengfei, let's go to Tianmen Mountain tomorrow. There are the famous Tianmen Cave and Glass Plank Road there." Li Xiao suggested.

Huang Pengfei responded immediately: "Good idea, Brother Xiao! I heard that the scenery of Tianmen Mountain is also very spectacular. We must go and see it."

The two gradually fell asleep in their vision of the future, but their journey continued.

As the morning light began to appear, Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei were ready to greet the new day. Their destination today was Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie, which is famous for its Tianmen Cave and Glass Plank Road.

"Brother Xiao, I heard that the glass plank road in Tianmen Mountain is very exciting. I am a little nervous and a little excited." Huang Pengfei said on the way to Tianmen Mountain.

Li Xiao smiled and encouraged him: "Don't worry, Pengfei, I'm here, we will face the challenge together."

They took the cable car and slowly ascended, with dense forests and steep peaks at their feet. As the altitude increased, the scenery of Zhangjiajie gradually appeared before their eyes.

"Brother Xiao, look down, it's so spectacular!" Huang Pengfei said, pointing to the scenery below.

Li Xiao couldn't help but admire: "Yes, the natural scenery here is really unparalleled."

After reaching the top of the mountain, they first went to Tianmen Cave, a huge naturally formed cave located on the side of the mountain, like a portal to another world.

"Pengfei, look at this Tianmen Cave, it's truly a masterpiece of nature." Li Xiao said, looking up at the Tianmen Cave.

Huang Pengfei also took out his camera to record this spectacular scene: "Brother Xiao, I want to record this moment forever."

Then, they came to the glass plank road, which was built on a cliff, with transparent glass underfoot, making people feel as if they were suspended in the air halfway up the mountain.

"Brother Xiao, I'm a little scared. There's a bottomless abyss below!" Huang Pengfei stood at the entrance of the glass plank road, a little hesitant. Li Xiao patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, Pengfei, as long as we take it step by step, there will be no problem."

The two held hands and walked carefully onto the glass plank road. As they moved, they gradually adapted to the feeling of being suspended in the air and began to appreciate the beautiful scenery under their feet.

"Brother Xiao, you see this feeling is so exciting, I feel like I'm flying!" Huang Pengfei gradually relaxed and said excitedly.

Li Xiao also responded with a smile: "Yes, Pengfei, this is the charm of traveling, constantly challenging yourself and experiencing different lives."

They stayed on the glass plank road for a long time until the sun began to set and the entire Tianmen Mountain was dyed with a layer of gold. Then they walked down the trail and admired Zhangjiajie under the sunset along the way.

At dinner, they tasted Zhangjiajie's special snacks at a local restaurant, such as Tujia bacon, sour beans, etc. Every dish was praised by everyone.

After dinner, they walked on the streets of Zhangjiajie, feeling the prosperity and tranquility of the city. Back at the hotel, they lay on the bed, thinking about today's journey.

"Pengfei, where are we going tomorrow?" Li Xiao asked.

Huang Pengfei thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, let's go to Huangshan, where the strange pines, strange rocks, sea of ​​clouds and hot springs are very famous."

Li Xiao's eyes flashed with excitement: "Good idea! That's settled, we'll set off early tomorrow morning!"

The two gradually fell asleep in their vision of the future, but their journey continued.

When the first rays of sunlight shone through the curtains in the early morning, Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei were already eager to set off for Huangshan. They knew that Huangshan was world-famous for its strange pines, strange rocks, sea of ​​clouds and hot springs, and it was a stop they could not miss on this trip.

"Brother Xiao, I have long wanted to see the scenery of Huangshan with my own eyes, and today I finally have the chance." Huang Pengfei said expectantly on the way to Huangshan.

Li Xiao nodded, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "Each of the four wonders of Huangshan has its own unique features. We will definitely find many surprises."

After several hours of driving, they finally arrived at the foot of Huangshan Mountain. Standing at the foot of the mountain, they looked up at the towering peaks, their hearts filled with awe.

"Pengfei, let's take the cable car up the mountain first, and then tour the area on foot." Li Xiao suggested.

They took the cable car and slowly ascended, with dense pine forests and rugged mountain roads under their feet. As the altitude increased, the scenery of the entire Huangshan Mountain gradually appeared before their eyes.

“Brother Xiao, look at those pine trees. They grow on the rocks. They are so tenacious.” Huang Pengfei said, pointing to the strange pine trees outside the window.

Li Xiao also praised: "Yes, the pine trees in Huangshan are famous for their tenacious vitality and unique shape. They are one of the four wonders of Huangshan."

After reaching the top of the mountain, they began to tour along the trail. They first came to the famous Welcoming Pine, which welcomes tourists from all over the world with its unique posture.

"Pengfei, look at this Welcoming Pine. Its posture is so elegant, as if it is welcoming us." Li Xiao said, pointing at the Welcoming Pine.

Huang Pengfei also took out his camera to record this beautiful scene: "Brother Xiao, I want to record all these beautiful scenes and bring them back to show my friends."

Then, they continued to walk forward and admired the strange rocks of Huangshan. The rocks of various shapes, some like animals, some like people, made people marvel at the ingenuity of nature.

"Brother Xiao, look at that stone. Doesn't it look like a monkey looking at the moon?" Huang Pengfei said, pointing at a strange stone.

Li Xiao smiled and replied: "Indeed, the strange rocks in Huangshan are so bizarre and make people imagine."

In the afternoon, they came to the best place to watch the sea of ​​clouds. Standing on the high ground, watching the sea of ​​clouds rolling under their feet, it seemed as if they were in a fairyland.

"Brother Peng, look at this sea of ​​clouds, it's so spectacular, it feels like we are standing on the clouds." Li Xiao exclaimed.

Huang Pengfei also took out his camera and kept taking pictures: "Brother Xiao, the scenery here is so beautiful. I want to record it and bring it back to show my friends."

As the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the mountain peaks, the entire Huangshan Mountain was dyed with a layer of gold. They rested in the hotel on the top of the mountain, lying on the bed, thinking about today's journey.

"Pengfei, let's go to the hot springs tomorrow. The hot springs in Huangshan are also very famous." Li Xiao suggested.

Huang Pengfei responded immediately: "Good idea, Brother Xiao! I heard that the hot springs in Huangshan have the effect of beautifying the skin. We must go and experience it."

The two gradually fell asleep in their vision of the future, but their journey continued.

"Haha, the quality of XJ's mutton is very good, and the food here is definitely worth a try." Huang Pengfei responded with a smile.

The next day, they went to Tianchi Lake in Tianshan Mountains, where there are turquoise waters and snow-capped mountains surrounding it, and the scenery is pleasant.

"Xiaozi, look at this Tianchi Lake, it's like a piece of jade inlaid in the snow-capped mountains." Huang Pengfei said, pointing at the Tianchi Lake.

"It's so beautiful! The scenery here makes me feel relaxed and happy." Li Xiao said with emotion.

They toured the Tianchi Lake and felt the magnificence and tranquility of nature.

Then they decided to visit Kanas Lake in XJ, where there are mysterious lake monster legends and beautiful natural scenery.

"Xiaozi, Kanas Lake is known as a paradise on earth, and the scenery here is very charming." Huang Pengfei said expectantly.

"I can't wait to see the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains there." Li Xiao said excitedly.

After they arrived at Kanas Lake, they were deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery there. The lake water was crystal clear and the surrounding mountains were reflected on the water, which was as poetic as a painting.

"The scenery here is so beautiful that it makes people linger." Li Xiao exclaimed by the lake.

"Yes, the beauty of Kanas Lake is unique," Huang Pengfei responded.

During their stay in XJ, they also experienced local folk songs and dances, attended a grand bonfire party, and felt the enthusiasm and friendliness of the XJ people.

"This song and dance is so infectious that people can't help but want to join in," said Li Xiao at the party.

"That's right, XJ's singing and dancing culture is very rich, which is one of the main features here." Huang Pengfei nodded in agreement.

In the exotic scenery of XJ, they ended their sixteenth week of journey, and with deep love and reluctance to leave this land, they look forward to the next trip.

After leaving XJ's exotic locale, Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei's journey brought them to Guizhou, a place famous for its mountains and rivers and colorful ethnic culture.
