Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 1611

Holding the prayer wheel in their hands and reciting scriptures, they walked around the temple clockwise. Li Xiao was touched by the pious atmosphere and said to Zhang Yue and Lin Fei: "The power of this belief is really strong. It makes people think more deeply about life and living."

They walked into the Jokhang Temple, which was filled with the rich aroma of Tibetan incense. Zhang Yue saw the life-size statue of Sakyamuni at the age of 12 enshrined in the temple and said in surprise: "This is the legendary life-size statue. It is said that seeing it is like seeing the Buddha himself."

Lin Fei explained: "This life-size statue has an extremely high status in Tibetan Buddhism and is the symbol of faith in the hearts of countless believers."

During their stay at LS, they also experienced traditional Tibetan cuisine. They walked into a Tibetan restaurant and ordered butter tea, barley cakes, yak jerky, etc. When the butter tea was served, Li Xiao took a sip. Although he was not used to the unique taste at first, he still felt its mellowness: "Although this butter tea tastes special, it makes me feel warm after drinking it. It is very suitable for drinking on the plateau."

Zhang Yue ate the barley cake and said, "Barley cake has a light fragrance and a solid taste."

Lin Fei praised the yak jerky highly: "This yak jerky has firm texture and is chewy. The more you chew it, the more delicious it becomes. It is a very good plateau specialty."

They also strolled along Barkhor Street, which was filled with various Tibetan handicrafts, such as Tibetan silver jewelry, turquoise products, Tibetan carpets, etc. Zhang Yue picked out an exquisite bracelet in a Tibetan silver shop: "The design of this Tibetan silver bracelet is very unique, and the pattern on it is very Tibetan."

Li Xiao bought a Tibetan carpet: "This Tibetan carpet has exquisite craftsmanship and beautiful patterns. I can take it back to decorate my room."

As the journey in LS was coming to an end, the three of them came to Namtso Lake. The water of Namtso Lake is clear and blue, forming a beautiful picture with the surrounding snow-capped mountains and grasslands. Li Xiao looked at the snow-capped mountains reflected on the lake and said with emotion: "The scenery here is so pure, as if it is the most selfless gift from nature."

Zhang Yue sat by the lake, closed his eyes, and felt the tranquility of the plateau: "During this time at LS, I felt that my soul had been baptized, and all my troubles were far away from me."

Lin Fei also said with deep emotion: "This trip to LS has allowed us to appreciate the magnificence of the plateau and the profoundness of Tibetan culture, and has also sublimated our friendship in this holy land. No matter where we go next, we will continue to move forward with this spiritual harvest." Continue to Chase the Waves in Sanya: A Vibrant Journey on the Tropical Coast
Bidding farewell to the sacred and peaceful plateau of LS, Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Lin Fei went to Sanya, a tropical coastal city surrounded by blue sea, blue sky, coconut trees and beaches.

Stepping out of the cabin, they were instantly enveloped by the warm, humid air with a fishy smell. Li Xiao stretched out his arms and said intoxicatedly: "Wow, the sunshine and air in Sanya are so charming, as if we are in a tropical paradise."

Zhang Yue pointed excitedly to the boundless blue sea not far away: "Look, the sea is calling us. I can't wait to go and ride the waves."

Lin Fei dragged his luggage slowly and responded with a smile: "Let's go to the hotel to check in first and put down our luggage. Then we can plan our wonderful itinerary in Sanya in the next few days."

They checked into a sea view hotel, and from the window of the room, they could see the charming sea view. After a short rest, the three of them could not wait to rush to Yalong Bay Beach.

Stepping onto the Yalong Bay Beach, the fine and soft sand stretched out under his feet, as if it was a golden carpet laid by nature. Li Xiao was the first to rush to the beach, letting the cool sea water cover his ankles. He shouted happily: "This sea water is so comfortable, the sea in Sanya is really as famous as it is said to be."

Zhang Yue picked up shells on the beach. She held a small and delicate shell in her hand and excitedly showed it to everyone: "Look, this shell is so beautiful. The patterns on it are like a natural painting."

Lin Fei set up a parasol and spread out a beach towel, and said with a smile: "We can bask in the sun here and enjoy a leisurely time."

They strolled on the beach or swam in the sea, feeling the embrace of the sea. When they were tired, they lay on the beach chairs, bathing in the warm sunshine and looking at the snow-white clouds in the sky.

Near noon, they came to a seafood restaurant by the sea. The restaurant was filled with all kinds of fresh seafood, which made people salivate. They ordered signature seafood dishes such as steamed grouper, steamed scallops with garlic sauce, and pepper and salt mantis shrimp. The steamed grouper was served on the table, and the fish meat was tender and smooth, melting in the mouth. Li Xiao took a bite and praised it highly: "This grouper is so delicious, original and flavorful, the real taste of the sea."

Zhang Yue has a special liking for steamed scallops with garlic paste. She scooped up a scallop with a small spoon, put it in her mouth, and said with satisfaction: "The aroma of the garlic paste and the freshness of the scallop are perfectly blended. It's so delicious that I can't stop eating it."

Lin Fei was peeling the mantis shrimp while smiling and saying, "This salt and pepper mantis shrimp is very authentic, with a crispy shell and firm shrimp meat. Every bite is full of surprises."

In the afternoon, they went to Wuzhizhou Island. Riding on a cruise ship to Wuzhizhou Island, it was like stepping into an isolated wonderland on the sea. The island was covered with green trees and colorful flowers, and the sea water was crystal clear with extremely high visibility. Standing on the beach, Li Xiao looked at the colorful underwater world and exclaimed: "The sea water here is as transparent as glass, and you can see many tropical fish and coral reefs."

Zhang Yue excitedly put on his diving gear and prepared to explore the mysteries of the seabed: "I want to have a close contact with those little fish and see what other magical things there are on the seabed."

Lin Fei strolled on the beach, admiring the natural scenery of the island. He used his camera to record the beautiful moments from time to time: "The scenery of Wuzhizhou Island is so beautiful, every place is worth remembering."

After returning from Wuzhizhou Island, they walked around the night market in Sanya. The night market was filled with all kinds of tropical fruits, special snacks and souvenirs. They tasted sweet mangoes, fragrant coconut jelly and other tropical fruits. Li Xiao held a coconut jelly and said happily: "This coconut jelly has a delicate taste, rich coconut fragrance, and is cool in the mouth. It is perfect for enjoying it at night in Sanya."

Zhang Yue bought some wind chimes made of shells: "Hanging these wind chimes in the room will definitely remind me of the good times in Sanya."

During their stay in Sanya, they also visited Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone. Walking into Nanshan Temple, the magnificent statue of Guanyin on the sea was awe-inspiring. Li Xiao stared at the statue and said with emotion: "This statue of Guanyin is so shocking. It is not only a statue, but also a symbol of spirit."

Zhang Yue clasped her hands together and prayed devoutly in front of the Guanyin statue: "I hope we can all be safe and healthy, and I also hope that the world will be peaceful and beautiful."

Lin Fei was very interested in the Buddhist culture and architectural style of Nanshan Temple. While visiting, he explained to Li Xiao and Zhang Yue: "The architecture of Nanshan Temple combines the essence of Buddhist culture and traditional Chinese architecture. Every detail contains profound meaning."

As the trip to Sanya came to an end, the three of them sat on the beach and watched the sunset gradually set, dyeing the sky and the sea orange and red. Li Xiao said softly: "The trip to Sanya was full of vitality and joy. We left too many beautiful memories here."

Zhang Yue nodded in agreement: "Yes, the sunshine, beach, sea and food here are unforgettable. I look forward to our next trip." Lin Fei looked at the sparkling sea in the distance: "I don't know what kind of excitement will be waiting for us at the next stop, but I believe that our travel story will continue to be written, and it will be even more exciting." Continue to Huangshan Sightseeing: Unforgettable time in the misty mountains
Bidding farewell to the warm and cozy seaside style of Sanya, Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Lin Fei arrived at Huangshan, a famous mountain famous for its "four wonders" of peculiar pines, strange rocks, sea of ​​clouds and hot springs.

As soon as we arrived at the foot of Huangshan, the fresh and slightly cool air hit us. In the distance, the mountains were undulating, and the clouds and mists were lingering in the mountains, like a light dance. Li Xiao looked up at the towering peaks and said with anticipation: "I have heard about the magnificence of Huangshan for a long time. Today I can finally experience it in person. It must be a wonderful feeling."

Zhang Yue rubbed his hands excitedly: "I want to see those strange pine trees the most. The Welcoming Pine is famous all over the world. I wonder how shocking it really looks."

Lin Fei checked his climbing equipment while reminding them, "Mt. Huangshan is very steep, so you have to be careful when climbing. But the scenery along the way is definitely worth the money."

They went up the mountain from the Yungu Cableway. As the cable car slowly climbed, the forest below them gradually became smaller, while the peaks in the distance showed their unique postures more and more clearly. Li Xiao pointed to a strange rock and exclaimed: "Look, that rock looks like a monkey squatting there, it's so vivid!"

Zhang Yue looked in the direction and nodded repeatedly: "Really? The workmanship of nature is so amazing that any stone looks like a work of art."

Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Lin Fei, three young people who love life and travel, chose Shanghai as the starting point of their China trip. Shanghai, an international metropolis full of charm and vitality, is like a shining pearl, exuding endless attraction.

The three of them stood on the Bund in Shanghai, looking at the tall buildings in Lujiazui on the other side. Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh: "Every time I see this scene, I feel shocked. The Oriental Pearl Tower is like a giant overlooking the entire city."

Zhang Yue excitedly replied, "Yes, it's bustling here during the day, and breathtakingly beautiful at night, with neon lights flashing, as if you're in a dream world."

Lin Fei smiled and said, "Then we can't miss the night view tonight, let's go strolling around the Bund first."

They strolled along the Bund, admiring the historical buildings of different styles while listening to Li Xiao telling the stories behind these buildings. "Look, the Customs Building, when the bell rings, it is very charming. It has witnessed the vicissitudes of Shanghai."

After strolling along the Bund, they came to Yu Garden, which is full of ancient charm, with pavilions, towers, rockeries and pools scattered in an orderly manner. Zhang Yue, like a curious baby, took the two of them to various corners, "It really feels like traveling back to ancient times here. Look at the exquisite carvings. The craftsmanship of the ancients is amazing."

Li Xiao nodded and said, "This is the essence of Jiangnan classical gardens. Every scene has its own meaning and details."

Lin Fei looked at the goldfish in the pond and said, "These goldfish are so happy, swimming carefree in this garden."

After leaving Yu Garden, their stomachs were rumbling, so they walked into a Shanghainese restaurant. "Try this braised pork, it's the signature dish of Shanghainese cuisine," Li Xiao recommended.

Zhang Yue picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up: "Wow, fat but not greasy, sweet but not sticky, so delicious."

Lin Fei also tried other dishes and said, "This crab meat soup is not bad either. The soup is delicious, the skin is thin and the filling is large."

After eating and drinking, they went to Shanghai Old Street and caught up with the folk performance. The dragon and lion dance teams jumped for joy, and cheers came from the crowd from time to time. Zhang Yue was fascinated by the performance and clapped along with the rhythm: "This performance is so lively, traditional folk customs really can't be lost."

Li Xiao said: "This is Shanghai's cultural heritage, which is still alive after so many years."

After the performance, they picked out local specialties in the shops on the old street. Lin Fei picked up a box of Shanghai pastries and said, "I'll take this back for my family to try. It should be very good."

Zhang Yue chose some exquisite embroidered small items. "These embroideries are so beautiful and very memorable."

The trip in Shanghai was about to end, and they sat on a bench by the Huangpu River, discussing their next destination.

Zhang Yue responded immediately: "Okay, I also want to see the beautiful scenery of West Lake and Leifeng Pagoda."

Lin Fei smiled and said: "Then let's go to Hangzhou
Lin Fei smiled and said, "This is the charm of Huangshan. The higher you go, the more wonders you will see."

After getting off the cable car, they walked along the winding mountain road. The pine trees along the way were of different shapes. Some stretched out their branches as if to warmly welcome the visitors, which was the famous Welcoming Pine; some intertwined their branches, like close friends. Li Xiao stood in front of the Welcoming Pine and exclaimed: "This Welcoming Pine is really magnificent. It is like the business card of Huangshan, representing the enthusiasm and heroism of this mountain."

Zhang Yue took out his camera and kept changing the angles to take pictures: "I have to take a few more pictures of this iconic scenery. I will show it to my friends when I get back so that they will be envious."

Lin Fei was observing the environment in which the pine trees grew and said with emotion: "These pine trees can take root and grow on these steep rocks and weather the wind and rain. Their vitality is so strong."

As they walked, the clouds gradually spread, and the mountain peaks appeared and disappeared in the clouds, just like a fairyland. Li Xiao was in the clouds and shouted excitedly: "Wow, this sea of ​​clouds is so spectacular, I feel like a fairy, and I am about to fly in the clouds."

Zhang Yue stretched out his hand, trying to grasp the misty clouds, and said with a smile: "This mist is cool and feels so illusory to the touch, as if it will dissipate if I apply force."

Lin Fei was also impressed by the dreamlike scenery: "The sea of ​​clouds in Huangshan is really well-deserved. Every time it appears, it can add a different charm to the mountain."

After several hours of climbing, they finally reached Lotus Peak, one of the main peaks of Huangshan. Standing on the top of the peak, they could see the mountains in the distance, the clouds rolling in the mountains, and the sun shining through the clouds.
