Chapter 1584

"The food in Qingdao is really great!" Huang Pengfei exclaimed as he ate.

After dinner, they watched a folk performance with Qingdao characteristics. In the performance, the actors wore traditional costumes and displayed Qingdao's folk dance, music and handicrafts.

"Lao Li, this performance is really wonderful! It gave me a deeper understanding of Qingdao's culture." Huang Pengfei said.

"Yes, these folk performances let us feel the unique charm of Qingdao," said Li Xiao.

After the performance, they came to a specialty store filled with various Qingdao specialties, such as Qingdao beer, dried seafood, and shell crafts.

"Lao Li, let's buy some local specialties and bring them back as gifts for our family and friends," said Huang Pengfei.

"Okay, Tsingtao Beer is very famous. You can buy some and give it to friends who like to drink." Li Xiao said.

The two picked some specialties and returned to the hotel satisfied.

"Lao Li, today has been a very fulfilling day. Qingdao's beaches, food and folk performances are all unforgettable," said Huang Pengfei.

Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei took a flight from Qingdao and finally arrived at Jiuzhaigou, a fairy-tale-like place, after several hours of flight. As soon as they got off the plane, they were attracted by the fresh air and charming natural scenery of Jiuzhaigou.

"Old Li, Jiuzhaigou is so beautiful! It's like a fairyland." Huang Pengfei said excitedly as he looked at the mountains and turquoise lake in the distance.

Li Xiao nodded, eyes full of amazement: "Jiuzhaigou has always been famous for its beautiful scenery. We must enjoy it this time."

The two took the scenic sightseeing bus and slowly entered Jiuzhaigou. Along the way, they saw many beautiful lakes and waterfalls. The lake water was clear and showed a variety of gorgeous colors, including blue, green, and yellow, as if nature had overturned the palette.

"Wow, these lakes are so beautiful!" Huang Pengfei kept taking pictures, wanting to record this beautiful scenery forever.

Li Xiao was also shocked by the beautiful scenery. He said: "The reason why the lake water in Jiuzhaigou is so beautiful is that it contains rich minerals and algae, which present different colors under the sunlight."

They came to Wuhua Lake, one of the most famous attractions in Jiuzhaigou. The water of Wuhua Lake is colorful, and the trees at the bottom of the lake are clearly visible, like a beautiful painting.

"Old Li, this Wuhua Lake is so beautiful! I feel like I am in a painting." Huang Pengfei said intoxicatedly.

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Yes, the beauty of Wuhua Lake makes people feel like they are in a fairy tale world."

Then they went to see the Pearl Beach Waterfall, which fell from a great height, splashing water like pearls, which was very spectacular.

"This waterfall is so stunning!" Huang Pengfei stood in front of the waterfall, feeling the coolness brought by the water splashes.

Li Xiao said: "Zhenzhutan Waterfall is a highlight of Jiuzhaigou. Its beauty and magnificence are unforgettable."

After a day of sightseeing, the two were hungry. They decided to try the food in Jiuzhaigou. They came to a local restaurant and ordered yak beef, butter tea and other specialties.

"Old Li, this yak meat looks so appetizing!" Huang Pengfei looked at the fragrant yak meat and couldn't wait to have a bite.

"Jiuzhaigou's yak beef is very famous and tastes very delicious," said Li Xiao.

After the dishes were served, they devoured them with relish. The yak meat was tender and the butter tea was rich in aroma, making every bite satisfying.

"The food in Jiuzhaigou is really amazing!" Huang Pengfei exclaimed as he ate.

After dinner, they watched a Tibetan folk performance. In the performance, the actors wore traditional costumes and displayed Tibetan songs and dances, folk customs and traditional skills. The wonderful performance won rounds of applause from the audience.

"Lao Li, this performance is so wonderful! It gave me a deeper understanding of Tibetan culture." Huang Pengfei said.

"Yes, these folk performances are a good way to understand local culture," said Li Xiao.

After the performance, they came to a specialty store filled with various Jiuzhaigou specialties, such as yak jerky, Tibetan carpets, and Qiang embroidery.

"Lao Li, let's buy some local specialties and bring them back as gifts for our family and friends," said Huang Pengfei.

"Okay, yak jerky is very special, you can buy some to take back." Li Xiao said.

The two picked some specialties and returned to the hotel satisfied.

"Lao Li, today has been a really fulfilling day. I am deeply impressed by the beautiful scenery, delicious food and folk performances of Jiuzhaigou," said Huang Pengfei.

Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei took a plane from Jiuzhaigou and arrived at Zhangjiajie, a city famous for its unique peaks and rocks. They were still full of expectations and excitement when they set foot on this land again.

"Old Li, I'm in Zhangjiajie again. I still feel so shocked." Huang Pengfei said with emotion as he looked at the mountains of various shapes in the distance.

Li Xiao smiled and nodded: "The scenery in Zhangjiajie is unique. Every time I come here, I can discover new things and feel new things."

The two of them carried their bags and walked into Zhangjiajie National Forest Park again. This time, they decided to explore some places they had not visited last time. Following the winding path, they came to a quiet valley. The valley was shaded by green trees and gurgling streams, like a paradise.

"Wow, it's so quiet here! It feels like I'm isolated from the world." Huang Pengfei said softly.

Li Xiao was also touched by the peaceful atmosphere. He said: "In a place like this, people can forget all their worries and enjoy the beauty of nature with all their heart and soul."

They continued walking and came to an old stone bridge, which spanned the stream. Although it was a little shabby, it was full of historical charm.

"Old Li, look at this stone bridge, it must have many stories." Huang Pengfei said thoughtfully, stroking the railing of the stone bridge.

Li Xiao said: "Yes, these ancient buildings have witnessed the historical changes of Zhangjiajie, and they are also part of the treasures here."

After crossing the stone bridge, they found a small waterfall hidden in the forest. The waterfall was not big, but the water was clear and splashing, and it sparkled silver in the sunlight.

"This little waterfall is so beautiful!" Huang Pengfei ran over excitedly, feeling the coolness brought by the splashing water.

Li Xiao followed and said with a smile: "Zhangjiajie is full of beautiful scenery, as long as we discover it with our heart."

At noon, the two found a flat place to sit down, took out the prepared food, and began to enjoy a simple lunch. In this beautiful nature, even simple bread and fruit seemed particularly delicious.

"Old Li, this kind of trip is really great." Huang Pengfei said while eating bread. Li Xiao nodded: "Yes, traveling not only allows us to appreciate the beautiful scenery, but also allows us to relax and gain knowledge."

After lunch, they continued to explore the beauty of Zhangjiajie. They came to a viewing platform, from which they could overlook the magnificent scenery of the entire forest park. The rolling mountains, lush forests, and winding streams formed a beautiful picture.

"Wow, the scenery is so spectacular!" Huang Pengfei couldn't help but exclaim.

Li Xiao was also impressed by the beautiful scenery. He said: "The beauty of Zhangjiajie is the work of nature. It makes people marvel at its magic."

After enjoying the beautiful scenery on the viewing platform for a while, they started a new journey. This time, they decided to challenge the famous scenic spot in Zhangjiajie - Tianmen Mountain.

Taking the cable car to the top of Tianmen Mountain, they were shocked by the sight before them. The huge Tianmen Cave seemed like the gate to heaven, with clouds and mist lingering at the entrance, giving people a mysterious feeling.

"Old Li, this Tianmen Cave is so spectacular!" Huang Pengfei widened his eyes and opened his mouth.

Li Xiao was also attracted by this wonder. He said: "Tianmen Mountain is one of the iconic attractions in Zhangjiajie. Its majesty and grandeur are unforgettable."

They walked along the mountain road to the Tianmen Cave, feeling its hugeness and mystery up close. Standing under the Tianmen Cave, they felt as if they were in a huge natural palace, and their hearts were filled with awe.

"Old Li, this place is really amazing." Huang Pengfei exclaimed.

Li Xiao nodded: "Yes, the power of nature is amazing. We should cherish such beautiful scenery and protect our natural environment."

After visiting Tianmen Mountain, both of them felt a little tired. They decided to taste the food in Zhangjiajie and take a good rest. They came to a local restaurant and ordered special dishes such as Sanxiaguo and Tujia bacon.

"Old Li, this dish is still so delicious after being cooked for three times." Huang Pengfei said while eating.

Li Xiao also smiled and said: "Zhangjiajie's food is very unique and makes people linger on the taste."

After dinner, they returned to the hotel and had a good night's rest. The next day, they set out on a new journey and continued their trip to Xia Country.

"Lao Li, this trip to Zhangjiajie was really wonderful. I wonder what kind of surprises the next place will bring us?" Huang Pengfei said with anticipation.

Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei took a flight from Zhangjiajie and arrived in the prosperous and dazzling Shanghai. As soon as they walked out of the airport, they were surrounded by the atmosphere of this modern metropolis.

"Old Li, Shanghai is really different. There are tall buildings everywhere." Huang Pengfei said in amazement, looking up at the skyscrapers around him.

Li Xiao nodded, his eyes full of excitement: "Shanghai is an international metropolis, there are many places here worth exploring."

The two took the subway to the hotel they booked. After dropping off their luggage, they could not wait to head to the iconic attraction in Shanghai, the Bund. When they stood on the Bund, they could see the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Huangpu River. On one side was the World Architecture Expo with a historical charm, and on the other side were modern high-rise buildings, which looked particularly spectacular under the light.

"Wow, this is so beautiful!" Huang Pengfei excitedly took the camera and kept taking pictures.

Li Xiao was also attracted by the beautiful scenery. He said with emotion: "The Bund in Shanghai has witnessed the historical changes of this city, and now it shows its prosperity and charm."

They strolled along the Bund, enjoying the surrounding scenery. Not far away, some tourists were taking photos, while others were enjoying the night view of the Huangpu River.

"Old Li, look at that building, it's so tall!" Huang Pengfei said, pointing to a skyscraper in the distance.

Li Xiao smiled and replied: "Shanghai has many tall buildings, each with its own characteristics."

After walking around the Bund, they both felt hungry. They decided to try some Shanghai cuisine. They went to a Shanghai restaurant and ordered special dishes such as braised pork, fried shrimp, and crab shell yellow.

"Old Li, this braised pork looks so tempting!" Huang Pengfei looked at the bright red braised pork and couldn't wait to have a taste.

"Shanghai cuisine is famous for its rich, mellow and delicious flavor. Let's enjoy it," said Li Xiao.

When the dishes were served, they devoured them with relish. The braised pork was fat but not greasy, the fried shrimp was tender and delicious, and the yellow crab shell was fragrant. Every bite was satisfying.

"The food in Shanghai is really great!" Huang Pengfei exclaimed as he ate.

After dinner, they went to watch a wonderful musical. The stage effects of the musical were very shocking, and the actors' performances were also very wonderful, which made them immersed in it.

"Lao Li, this musical is so good! It made me feel the cultural and artistic atmosphere of Shanghai." said Huang Pengfei.

"Yes, Shanghai is a city full of culture and art, with many wonderful performances to enjoy," said Li Xiao.

After the performance, they came to a specialty store filled with various Shanghai specialties, such as five-spice beans, pear paste candy, silk, etc.

"Lao Li, let's buy some local specialties and bring them back as gifts for our family and friends," said Huang Pengfei.

"Okay, the five-spice beans are very special, you can buy some to take back." Li Xiao said.

The two picked some specialties and returned to the hotel satisfied.

"Lao Li, today has been a really fulfilling day. I am deeply impressed by the beautiful scenery, delicious food and musicals of the Bund," said Huang Pengfei.

Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei took the high-speed train from Shanghai and soon arrived in Suzhou, which is full of ancient charm. As soon as they walked out of the train station, they were attracted by Suzhou's unique Jiangnan water town atmosphere.

"Old Li, Suzhou feels so charming!" Huang Pengfei said excitedly as he looked at the surrounding buildings with white walls and black tiles.

Li Xiao smiled and nodded: "Suzhou is a city with a long history, rich cultural heritage and beautiful garden landscapes."

The two of them arrived at the hotel with their luggage and dropped off their luggage. Then they could not wait to go to the most famous garden in Suzhou, the Humble Administrator's Garden. As soon as they entered the Humble Administrator's Garden, they seemed to have entered a poetic world. Pavilions, towers, bridges, flowing water, and lush flowers and trees, every scene was beautiful.

"Wow, this Humble Administrator's Garden is so beautiful!" Huang Pengfei kept taking pictures, wanting to record this beautiful scenery.

Li Xiao was also intoxicated by the beautiful scenery. He said slowly: "The Humble Administrator's Garden is one of the four famous gardens in China. It is exquisitely designed and full of the charm of the Jiangnan water town."

They strolled in the Humble Administrator's Garden, admiring the various buildings and landscapes. Some tourists sat in some pavilions, quietly admiring the beautiful scenery in the garden; on some small bridges, tourists took photos as souvenirs.

"Old Li, look at that pavilion, it's so unique!" Huang Pengfei said, pointing to an octagonal pavilion.

Li Xiao smiled and replied: "The garden architecture in Suzhou is very distinctive. Every pavilion and every bridge has its own story."
