Chapter 1560 13.
Li Xiao was also immersed in the beautiful scenery: "Yes, the natural scenery here is refreshing."

After visiting Xiaoqikong, they went to Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, a well-preserved Miao village with rich Miao culture and unique architectural style.

"Brother Xiao, look at those stilt houses, they are really unique and completely different from our Han architecture." Man Yue pointed at the stilt houses built against the mountain, her eyes full of curiosity.

Li Xiao nodded: "The Miao ethnic group's architectural style is indeed unique, and the people here are also very hospitable."

In the Miao village, they visited the Miao people's silver jewelry crafts and batik fabrics, and tasted the Miao people's special food.

"This sour soup fish is so delicious, sour and spicy, very appetizing." Man Yue exclaimed as she ate.

Li Xiao also ate with gusto: "Yes, Guizhou's cuisine is also a major feature. Every bite is a treat for the taste buds."

As night fell, the lights in the Miao village gradually lit up, and the whole village was decorated like a dream. They also watched the Miao singing and dancing performances and felt the enthusiasm and vitality of the Miao people.

"Yes, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is the sacred mountain of the Naxi people. We are going to challenge it today." Li Xiao encouraged.

They took the cable car up the mountain. As the altitude increased, the temperature gradually dropped, but the scenery became more and more spectacular.

"Brother Xiao, look at the glacier over there, it's so beautiful." Huang Pengfei said, pointing at the glacier.

"Yes, the glaciers here are natural works of art." Li Xiao exclaimed.

They played on the snow-capped mountains for a long time, took photos and felt the magnificence of the mountains.

After coming down the mountain, they tasted local delicacies such as Naxi grilled fish and chicken bean jelly in the small town at the foot of the mountain.

"Brother Xiao, this grilled fish is so delicious that I don't want to leave." Huang Pengfei said while eating.

"Yes, Lijiang's food is also very unique." Li Xiao also ate with gusto.

At night, they were on the balcony of the hotel, looking at the starry sky and recalling the past few days of travel.

"Brother Xiao, this trip was really great. I learned a lot and experienced a lot." Huang Pengfei said with emotion.

"Yes, traveling is the best way to learn." Li Xiao said with a smile.

"Where are we going tomorrow?" Huang Pengfei asked curiously.

"Tomorrow we will go to Guilin, where there are beautiful mountains and rivers and unique karst landforms." Li Xiao said mysteriously.

The two fell asleep with anticipation for tomorrow.

"Brother Xiao, the Miao dance and music are so infectious. I want to dance along." Man Yue said excitedly.

Li Xiao responded with a smile: "Okay, after the performance is over, we will go and experience it too."

They ended the day's journey in the night of the Miao village, their hearts filled with nostalgia for this land and anticipation for the next stop.

"Brother Xiao, where are we going next?" Man Yue asked expectantly.

Li Xiao smiled mysteriously: "Next stop, we will go to a place with the most beautiful mountains and rivers in China."

With their attachment to Guizhou's mountains, rivers and ethnic culture, they embarked on the journey to their next destination, and Guizhou's natural scenery and Miao villages will become eternal memories in their hearts.

The next day, Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei decided to go to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding to see these lovely national treasures. At the base, they saw the giant pandas in a naive manner, some eating bamboo, some playing, and some sleeping.

"These giant pandas are so cute, every move they make makes us laugh," said Huang Pengfei with a smile.

Li Xiao also responded with a smile: "Yes, the giant panda is the pride of Chengdu and the national treasure of the country of Xia."

The day before leaving Chengdu, the two decided to go to Chengdu's Wangjiang Tower Park, which has a long history and beautiful natural scenery. They drank tea and chatted in the park, enjoying the leisure time in Chengdu.

"Pengfei, this trip is about to end, what do you feel?" Li Xiao asked.

Huang Pengfei pondered for a while and said, "This trip made me deeply feel the vastness of the Xia Kingdom and the profoundness of its culture. Every city and every landscape left a deep impression on me."

Li Xiao nodded: "Yes, every trip is a new discovery, and every exploration allows us to better understand the diversity and richness of this world."

The two sat down on a bench in Wangjianglou Park, their hearts filled with memories and emotions of the journey.

As night fell, Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei enjoyed a sumptuous farewell dinner with their friends at a hot pot restaurant in Chengdu. The steaming hot pot and the laughter of friends made this night particularly warm.

"Brother Xiao, we have experienced so much together on this trip, and I will always remember this time." Huang Pengfei said while raising his glass at the dinner table.

Li Xiao also raised his glass: "Yes, Pengfei. This trip not only allowed us to see beautiful scenery, but also deepened our friendship."

As the dinner ended, the two returned to the hotel with full of memories and emotions. They knew that although the trip was over, their story and dream had just begun.

The next day, Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei embarked on their journey home with fond memories of the trip. They believe that as long as there is a dream in the heart, there is a way under the feet, no matter where the road leads, it is a journey worth pursuing.

As the plane slowly rose, Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei looked out the window at the gradually shrinking Chengdu, their hearts filled with emotion. This trip to Sichuan allowed them to appreciate too many natural beauties and cultural customs, and these memories will become precious treasures in their lives.

"Brother Xiao, this trip was really wonderful. We not only saw beautiful scenery, but also learned a lot of knowledge." Huang Pengfei exclaimed.

Li Xiao nodded: "Yes, Pengfei. Every trip is a new experience, which can help us understand the world better."

As the plane flew through the clouds, the two began to plan their next trip. They discussed where they wanted to go, from the remote Nordic fjords to the mysterious African continent, each place was full of infinite temptation.

"Brother Xiao, where do you most want to go next?" Huang Pengfei asked curiously.

Li Xiao pondered for a while and said, "I want to go to XZ to experience the snow-capped mountains, holy lakes and mysterious Tibetan Buddhist culture there."

Huang Pengfei said excitedly: "XZ has always been my dream place, we can go there together."

The two talked about their future travel plans on the plane, and time passed by unknowingly. When the plane slowly landed at the airport in their hometown, the two ended this unforgettable trip to Sichuan with full of memories and visions for the future.

After returning home, Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei began to sort out the photos and diaries of this trip. Each photo recorded their smiles and footprints, and each diary carried their emotions and experiences. "Pengfei, look at this photo, a group photo of us on the Golden Summit of Mount Emei. We were so happy at that time." Li Xiao said, pointing to a photo.

Huang Pengfei smiled and responded, "Yes, Brother Xiao. This photo reminds me of the day we were in Mount Emei, the curiosity and excitement about the unknown."

As time went by, the two treasured the memories of this trip in their hearts. They knew that these experiences would become part of their life journey, inspiring them to keep moving forward and explore more unknown worlds.

In the days ahead, Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei will continue their travels and explorations. They have traveled all over the country, even beyond the borders of the country, to all parts of the world. Every trip makes them love life more and cherish their friendship more.

"Pengfei, our travel story has just begun, and there will be more wonderful things waiting for us in the future." Li Xiao said at a party after a trip.

Huang Pengfei raised his glass: "That's right, Brother Xiao. As long as we keep moving forward, our story will never end."

Amidst laughter and joy, the two continued to plan their next trip, their hearts filled with infinite curiosity and yearning for the unknown world.

After dinner, they took part in a night cruise on West Lake. Under the moonlight, they took a cruise on the lake to enjoy the night view, listened to the guzheng performance on the boat, and felt the romance and poetry of West Lake.

"Brother Xiao, the night view of West Lake is so beautiful, and the sound of the guzheng is so melodious." Huang Pengfei said intoxicatedly.

"Yes, this kind of experience is really rare." Li Xiao also felt very comfortable.

After the night tour, they bought some Hangzhou specialties, such as silk, Longjing tea, etc. in a nearby store, ready to take them home as gifts.

"Brother Xiao, look at this silk scarf. It feels so good." Huang Pengfei said while holding a silk scarf.

"It's really good. Buy it back as a souvenir." Li Xiao suggested.

As night fell, the two returned to the hotel with a lot of gains. They lay on the bed and recalled today's journey.

"Brother Xiao, where are we going tomorrow?" Huang Pengfei asked curiously.

"Tomorrow, we will go to Suzhou to see the classical gardens there and experience the reputation of 'the gardens in Jiangnan are the best in the world'." Li Xiao said with a smile.

"That's great! I've long wanted to see the gardens in Suzhou!" Huang Pengfei replied excitedly.

Huang Pengfei nodded: "Yes, this trip is really meaningful."

As the plane slowly landed at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, a leisurely city scene unfolded before Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei's eyes. Chengdu, a city famous for its leisurely pace of life and rich food culture, made the two people full of expectations for the upcoming leisurely life.

"Brother Xiao, I heard that the pace of life in Chengdu is very slow. Do you think we will become lazy too?" Huang Pengfei looked around curiously as he walked.

Li Xiao smiled and nodded: "Yes, the pace of life here is indeed very leisurely, we can relax for a while."

They took a taxi to Chunxi Road, one of the most prosperous commercial districts in Chengdu. Huang Pengfei pointed to a hot pot restaurant and said, "Brother Xiao, let's go eat hot pot. I heard that Chengdu's hot pot is very famous."

Li Xiao agreed, and the two walked into the hot pot restaurant and ordered a simmered hot pot. The aroma of the hot pot filled the air, and the two chatted while tasting the food.

"Brother Xiao, what do you think of this hot pot?" Huang Pengfei asked.

"It tastes spicy and fresh, it's really addictive." Li Xiao replied.

Huang Pengfei nodded: "I think so too, this hot pot is really addictive."

After eating and drinking, the two decided to visit the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. At the base, they saw cute giant pandas. Huang Pengfei exclaimed: "These giant pandas are so cute. Look at the way they eat bamboo."

Li Xiao also felt the same way: "Yes, giant pandas are really national treasures, and the environment here is also very suitable for them to live."

As night fell, the two strolled on the streets of Chengdu, enjoying the leisurely nightlife. Huang Pengfei pointed to a teahouse and said, "Brother Xiao, let's go have some tea. I heard that Chengdu's tea culture is very unique."

Li Xiao agreed, and the two walked into the teahouse and ordered a pot of jasmine tea. The fragrance of tea filled the air, and the two chatted while sipping tea.

"Brother Xiao, what do you think is the most impressive thing about Chengdu?" Huang Pengfei asked.

"I think it's the leisurely life here that makes people feel relaxed." Li Xiao replied.

Huang Pengfei nodded: "Me too, and the food here is so rich, it feels like I can eat something different for every meal."

After eating and drinking, the two decided to watch a Sichuan Opera face-changing performance. During the performance, they appreciated the traditional art of Chengdu. Huang Pengfei exclaimed: "This face-changing is so magical, every movement is so powerful."

Li Xiao also felt the same way: "Yes, the culture here is so rich."

After the performance, they bought some Chengdu specialties, such as Shu embroidery and bamboo handicrafts, in nearby shops, ready to take them home as souvenirs.

Late at night, the two said goodbye on the streets of Chengdu. Li Xiao said, "Tomorrow we will go to the next city. Are you ready?"

Huang Pengfei replied excitedly: "Of course, I can't wait!"

As the high-speed train slowly pulled into Hangzhou East Station, a picture of the Jiangnan water town unfolded before Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei's eyes. Hangzhou, a city famous for its beautiful West Lake and poetic Jiangnan culture, made the two look forward to the upcoming poetic journey.

"Brother Xiao, look at this West Lake. Isn't it different from the places we have been to before?" Huang Pengfei looked around curiously as he walked.

Li Xiao smiled and nodded: "Yes, the scenery here is so beautiful, we should enjoy it."

They took a taxi to the West Lake. Standing by the lake, looking at the sparkling lake, Huang Pengfei couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Xiao, this West Lake is so beautiful, like a painting."

Li Xiao nodded: "Let's go, let's go take a boat trip on the lake."

They rented a small boat, and the boatman rowed slowly to take them to see the beautiful scenery of West Lake. Huang Pengfei pointed to the Leifeng Pagoda in the distance and said, "Brother Xiao, look at the Leifeng Pagoda. Isn't it the place where the White Snake was trapped in the legend?"

Li Xiao nodded: "Yes, there are many beautiful legends and stories here."

They continued walking and came to the Broken Bridge. Huang Pengfei exclaimed: "This Broken Bridge is so famous. It feels like it's in a story."

Li Xiao also felt the same way: "Yes, every scenic spot here has its own story."

As night fell, the two sat down in a restaurant by the lake. Huang Pengfei ordered a dish of West Lake vinegar fish: "This is a Hangzhou specialty, you must try it."
