After bidding farewell to the mysterious Dunhuang, Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei came to Harbin, which is full of exotic customs. As soon as they got off the plane, they were attracted by the unique charm of this city.

"Old Li, it must be very cold in Harbin, but it feels so exciting looking at this world of ice and snow." Huang Pengfei said excitedly.

Li Xiao responded with a smile: "Harbin is a famous ice and snow capital. The winter here is very beautiful. We can enjoy the charm of ice and snow."

They first came to Central Street. This street is full of European architectural style, and the road surface paved with breadstone is unique. They strolled along Central Street, admiring the buildings and shops on both sides.

"Wow, this Central Avenue is so beautiful, it feels like being in Europe," Huang Pengfei exclaimed.

"These nesting dolls are so cute, let's buy a few and take them back home," said Huang Pengfei.

Li Xiao nodded in agreement: "Okay, these nesting dolls are very commemorative and can be given to relatives and friends."

On Central Street, they also tasted Harbin's specialties, including red sausage, sweet and sour pork, and three kinds of delicacies.

Li Xiao also praised the sweet and sour pork: "This sweet and sour pork is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it tastes sweet and sour. It's very delicious."

Leaving Central Avenue, they came to Sun Island, a beautiful park covered with snow in winter, like a fairy tale world.

"Wow, this Sun Island is so beautiful! It feels like a painting," Huang Pengfei exclaimed.

They enjoyed the beautiful snow scene on Sun Island and saw many ice and snow sculptures, which were of various shapes and exquisite, and made people feel the creativity of the artists.

"Ice skating is so fun. I feel like a bird flying on the ice." Huang Pengfei said with a smile.

Li Xiao also had a lot of fun: "Yes, Ice and Snow World is really a place full of joy and surprises."

After leaving Harbin, the capital of ice and snow, Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei embarked on a journey to Hulunbuir. Along the way, they were full of expectations for the grassland scenery they were about to see.

"Old Li, I heard that the grasslands in Hulunbuir are particularly beautiful. Now we can experience the charm of nature." Huang Pengfei said excitedly.

Li Xiao smiled and nodded: "Yes, Hulunbuir is one of the most beautiful grasslands in China. There are vast grasslands, clear lakes and herds of cattle and sheep. We will definitely linger there."

When they finally arrived in Hulunbuir, they were shocked by the endless green grassland in front of them. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the grassland was like a huge green carpet, stretching all the way to the distance.

"Wow, this grassland is so spectacular! I feel so small." Huang Pengfei widened his eyes, his face full of amazement.

They rented an off-road vehicle and started to drive on the grassland. The wind blew across the grassland, bringing bursts of grass fragrance, making people feel particularly comfortable.

"Lao Li, this feels great! It's just like being in a painting." Huang Pengfei said excitedly.

Li Xiao was also intoxicated by the beauty of the grassland: "Yes, the grassland in Hulunbuir is so beautiful. It makes people feel the greatness and magic of nature."

They came to a yurt camp, where the enthusiastic Mongolian people presented them with Hada and kumis, tasted delicious roasted whole lamb, and enjoyed Mongolian singing and dancing performances.

The next day, they went horseback riding again. On horseback, they felt the wind of the grassland and admired the beautiful scenery of the grassland.

"The feeling of riding a horse is really exciting, just like I have become a warrior on the grassland." Huang Pengfei said with a smile.

Li Xiao also had a lot of fun: "Yes, horse riding is a great experience, which allows us to better feel the charm of the grassland."

Bidding farewell to the vast Hulunbuir grassland, Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei came to Sanya, a city full of tropical atmosphere. As soon as they got off the plane, they were embraced by the warm sea breeze and bright sunshine.

"Lao Li, we are finally at the beach. The weather in Sanya is so comfortable." Huang Pengfei stretched out his arms, feeling the tropical atmosphere.

Li Xiao smiled and responded: "Yes, Sanya is a great place for vacation, with beautiful beaches, clear waters and abundant water activities." They first came to Yalong Bay. The beach here is white and delicate, the water is clear, and the sea and sky in the distance are one color, which is beautiful. They strolled on the beach, feeling the waves and the breeze.

"Wow, Yalong Bay is so beautiful! It feels like a paradise on earth." Huang Pengfei exclaimed.

Li Xiao was also attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of him: "Yes, Yalong Bay is one of the most beautiful beaches in Sanya. The scenery here is really intoxicating."

They found a lounge chair on the beach and lay down to enjoy the sunshine and sea breeze. Not far away, some tourists were swimming and diving in the sea, and some were playing jet skis and windsurfing.

"Old Li, let's do some water activities. It will definitely be exciting." Huang Pengfei suggested.

So they rented a set of diving equipment and prepared to explore the underwater world. Under the guidance of the coach, they slowly dived into the water, and the scene in front of them amazed them.

After coming out of the sea, they went to play jet skis again. Speeding on the sea, feeling the speed of the wind and the impact of the waves, made them very excited.

"This jet ski is so exciting! I feel like a racing driver." Huang Pengfei said with a smile.

Li Xiao also had a lot of fun: "Yes, water activities are really fun. They can help us release stress and have fun."

At noon, they tasted Sanya's specialties at a restaurant by the sea, including coconut chicken, qingbuliang, seafood, etc.

"This coconut chicken tastes really delicious, the chicken is tender and the soup is sweet." Huang Pengfei said while eating.

Li Xiao also praised the Qingbuliang: "This Qingbuliang is very refreshing and contains rich ingredients, which is very suitable for eating in tropical areas."

After eating and drinking, they came to Tianya Haijiao, one of the iconic attractions in Sanya. Two huge rocks were engraved with "Tianya" and "Haijiao", which symbolize the eternity and firmness of love.

"Wow, this place is so romantic! Many people take photos here." Huang Pengfei said with emotion.

Li Xiao was also infected by the atmosphere here: "Yes, Tianya Haijiao is a very meaningful place. Many people regard this place as a testimony of love."

They took a lot of photos at Tianya Haijiao, and then went to the nearby Nanshan Cultural Tourism Area, where there is a 108-meter-high statue of Guanyin at sea, which is very spectacular.

Li Xiao also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Sanya is a charming city, the people here are very enthusiastic, and the scenery here is also very beautiful."

After leaving the beautiful Sanya, Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei came to the ancient city of Luoyang with a long history. As soon as they set foot on this land, they were surrounded by a strong historical atmosphere.

"Old Li, Luoyang is the ancient capital of 13 dynasties. There must be many places worth seeing." Huang Pengfei said excitedly.

Li Xiao smiled and nodded: "Yes, Luoyang has a rich historical and cultural heritage. We can appreciate it this time."
