Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 1624

Walking into Yuelu Academy, the ancient architecture and rich cultural atmosphere hit us. Zhang Yue gently touched the ancient wall and said, "It's not easy for these buildings to be preserved so well after so many years."

After coming out of Yuelu Academy, they continued to head towards the top of the mountain. Finally reaching the top of the mountain, they overlooked the entire Changsha city. The Xiangjiang River passed through the city, and the city scenery was in full view. "Wow, this scenery is so spectacular. Changsha is really full of vitality and vigor." Lin Fei exclaimed.

After going down the mountain, they headed straight to Pozi Street, where there were a wide variety of delicious foods and a wide variety of aromas. "Let's have some stinky tofu first. Changsha's stinky tofu is famous," Li Xiao said excitedly.

Zhang Yue looked at the black stinky tofu and hesitated, but still mustered up the courage to taste it: "Oh, it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Although it smells bad, it tastes delicious."

Lin Fei has a special liking for sugar-coated baba: "This sugar-coated baba is sweet but not greasy, soft and delicious. I can eat a big bowl of it."

After eating and drinking, as the sky gradually darkened, they came to the night market in Changsha. The night market was crowded with people, and there were various entertainment projects and snack stalls that made people overwhelmed. Zhang Yue was attracted by a singing stall: "Let's go sing and feel the nightlife atmosphere of Changsha."

Li Xiao and Lin Fei readily agreed, they picked up the microphone and sang to their heart's content. The crowd around them was also infected by their enthusiasm and applauded.

After singing, they continued to stroll around the night market and saw many small accessories with Changsha characteristics. Zhang Yue picked a keychain with a chili shape: "This is very Changsha-style, and chili is one of the symbols of Changsha."

Li Xiao bought some Hunan specialty tea: "I can take this tea back and savor it slowly to feel the fragrance of Hunan tea."

During the day in Changsha, they experienced natural scenery, cultural relics, gourmet feasts and lively nightlife. When they returned to the hotel, Zhang Yue's face was filled with a happy smile: "I am so happy today. Changsha is really a happy city."

Li Xiao said: "Yes, the enthusiasm and energy here are very contagious, making us all forget our troubles."

Lin Fei also smiled and said: "I don't know what kind of unique experience the next city will bring us. I am looking forward to it." Continue the leisure in Chengdu and enjoy the land of Shu

Leaving Changsha, the paradise filled with fireworks, Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Lin Fei boarded a plane and headed for Chengdu, a city known as the "Land of Abundance".

"Chengdu is a city where you won't want to leave once you arrive. We can enjoy our leisure time here." Li Xiao said while stretching as the plane landed.

Zhang Yue was full of anticipation: "I heard that people in Chengdu live a very comfortable life, and there are teahouses in every street and alley. I want to go and experience it."

Lin Fei responded with a smile: "Then let's go to Wuhou Temple first and appreciate the charm of the Three Kingdoms culture."

Entering the Wuhou Temple, the ancient cypresses towered into the sky, solemn and majestic. "Here are enshrined Zhuge Liang and other heroes of the Shu Han Dynasty, and their stories are well-known to everyone." Li Xiao said softly, with admiration in his eyes.

Zhang Yue asked curiously, "Is Zhuge Liang really that amazing? Are stories like the Empty City Plan and Borrowing Arrows from Straw Boats true?"

Li Xiao patiently explained: "Although some of the stories may have been artistically processed, Zhuge Liang's wisdom and loyalty are indeed admirable. He devoted himself to the Shu Han and died for it."

Lin Fei strolled in the temple, looking at the ancient buildings and inscriptions: "These cultural relics carry a heavy history, which makes people sigh at the vicissitudes of time."

Coming out of the Wuhou Temple, next to it is Jinli Ancient Street. The ancient street is bustling with red lanterns, and there are all kinds of traditional snacks and handicrafts. "Wow, this Jinli Ancient Street is so charming, it feels like traveling back to ancient times." Zhang Yue looked around excitedly.

"Try the Long Chao Shou first. It's a specialty of Chengdu." Li Xiao led the two into a snack bar.

Zhang Yue looked at the wonton with thin skin and big filling in the bowl and couldn't wait to take a bite: "Well, the soup is fresh and delicious, and the wonton melts in the mouth, so delicious."

Lin Fei was very interested in the spicy rabbit head. While eating, he said, "This rabbit head is spicy and fresh. The more you chew it, the more delicious it is. Chengdu cuisine is indeed worthy of its reputation."

After eating, they strolled in the ancient street and admired Shu embroidery, paper cutting and other handicrafts. Zhang Yue was attracted by a beautiful Shu embroidery: "The needlework of this Shu embroidery is so delicate, and the pattern is so lifelike, it is simply a work of art."

Li Xiao said: "Shu embroidery is one of the four famous embroidery styles in China, and the craftsmen in Chengdu are very skilled."

Lin Fei picked out some paper-cut works: "These paper-cuts have local characteristics, and they are great to bring back to decorate your room."

In the evening, they came to People's Park. There were many teahouses in People's Park, and people were sitting on bamboo chairs, drinking tea, chatting, and feeling relaxed. "Let's also find a teahouse to sit and experience the slow life of Chengdu people." Zhang Yue suggested.

They found an empty seat and sat down, ordering a pot of covered tea. Zhang Yue imitated the locals, gently picked up the tea bowl, opened the lid, blew on it, and took a sip: "This tea is fragrant and refreshing. Drinking tea and chatting here, I feel that time has slowed down."

Li Xiao smiled and said: "This is the attitude towards life in Chengdu, enjoying the present moment and not being in a hurry."

Lin Fei watched the people around him playing mahjong and was eager to try: "Let's play a few rounds of mahjong, when in Rome, do as the Romans do."

So the three of them played mahjong in the teahouse, with laughter and the sounds of mahjong intertwined.

As night fell, they walked out of the park and discussed tomorrow's itinerary.

Zhang Yue said, "Let's go to the panda base tomorrow. I really want to see the cute giant pandas."

Li Xiao and Lin Fei agreed: "Okay, let's go see our national treasures and feel their cuteness."

During the day in Chengdu, they were immersed in the Three Kingdoms culture, delicious food and leisurely life. Back at the hotel, Zhang Yue said with satisfaction: "Chengdu is such a great place to relax. I don't want to leave."

Li Xiao said: "There are more exciting things to come. Let's take a good rest first and go see the giant pandas tomorrow."

Lin Fei also said with anticipation: "I hope to see the cutest panda babies tomorrow." Continue the mountain city adventure, a new chapter in the foggy city
Bidding farewell to the leisurely and comfortable life in Chengdu, Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Lin Fei came to Chongqing, a mountain city built on the mountain and full of magical charm.

"Chongqing, I heard that there are bumps and hills everywhere, and the roads are like a maze. It must be super fun!" Zhang Yue shouted excitedly as soon as he got off the car. Li Xiao looked up at the scattered high-rise buildings and smiled, "This is a 3D magical city. We must be prepared to get lost. But let's go to Jiefangbei to check in first, it is the landmark of Chongqing."

The three of them walked through the bustling crowd and soon arrived at Jiefangbei. The monument stands in the bustling commercial center, surrounded by people coming and going, and it is very lively. "Jiefangbei has witnessed the historical changes of Chongqing. Now it is a paradise for shopping and food." Li Xiao introduced.

Lin Fei looked at the dazzling array of shops around him and suggested, "Let's go shopping in the mall first and feel the fashion atmosphere of Chongqing."

After shopping in the mall, it was almost noon, and they walked into a Chongqing hot pot restaurant. The restaurant was steaming hot, and the rich aroma of hot pot filled the air. "When you come to Chongqing, you must eat an authentic hot pot, which is worth the trip." Li Xiao said while skillfully putting tripe into the pot.

Zhang Yue looked at the boiling red soup and asked worriedly, "Is this too spicy? I'm afraid I can't stand it."

Li Xiao smiled and comforted: "It's okay, try it first, the spicy Chongqing hotpot is that spicy, the more you eat, the more addictive it is."

Zhang Yue carefully picked up a piece of blanched tripe and put it in his mouth. His eyes lit up instantly: "Wow, this tripe is so crispy. Although it's spicy, it's really delicious!"

Lin Fei was also conquered by the deliciousness of the hot pot. He wiped the sweat from his forehead while eating: "This hot pot is so delicious. I feel like I can eat a cow."

After eating hot pot, they went to Hongya Cave. When night fell, the lights in Hongya Cave came on, and the layers of stilt houses looked like castles in fairy tales under the light. "This is so beautiful! It's just like the scene in Spirited Away." Zhang Yue exclaimed, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone to take pictures.

Li Xiao explained: "Hongyadong has a unique architectural style. It perfectly combines the traditional architectural features of Bayu with modern lighting art, which is why it is so charming."

Lin Fei asked curiously: "What's in here?"

Li Xiao replied: "There are many specialty shops, restaurants and bars inside, and you can enjoy the night view while strolling around."

They walked into Hongya Cave and stopped in front of a special bar. The melodious music came from the bar and attracted the three of them. Sitting on the terrace of the bar, they drank and enjoyed the night view of Jialing River. "It's really a pleasure to drink and chat in such a place." Zhang Yue said with emotion.

After coming out of Hongyadong, they took the Yangtze River Cableway. On the cableway, the surging Yangtze River was at their feet, and the night scene on both sides of the river was in full view. "It feels so wonderful, like flying," Lin Fei said excitedly.

The next morning, they arrived at Ciqikou Ancient Town. The ancient town was quaint and the bluestone roads were winding. "Ciqikou Ancient Town has preserved many ancient buildings and traditional handicrafts. You can feel the strong flavor of old Chongqing here," said Li Xiao.

Zhang Yue stopped in front of a fried dough twist shop and watched the clerk making fried dough twists skillfully: "This Chongqing fried dough twist is very famous. I want to buy some to bring back for my family to try."

Lin Fei was interested in the teahouses in the ancient town, so he took the two of them into a teahouse: "Let's experience the teahouse culture of Chongqing again. I heard that the storytelling here is very interesting."

They sat in the teahouse, listening to the storytellers telling Chongqing's historical stories and folk legends in vivid detail, as if they had traveled back in time.

The trip to Chongqing was coming to an end. They sat on a bench by the river, reviewing their experiences over the past few days.

Zhang Yue said: "Chongqing is a city full of surprises and charms. Every place is impressive."

Li Xiao nodded: "Yes, the landscape, food, and culture here are all unique. It is a place worth visiting again and again."

Lin Fei smiled and said: "I wonder where the next destination will be. Will it be as unique as Chongqing?" Continue the Spring City Dream and travel with friends
Bidding farewell to the hot and fantastic journey in Chongqing, Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Lin Fei boarded a plane and headed for Kunming, the pearl of the southwest known as the "City of Spring", where the four seasons are like spring.

"We're finally in Kunming. I heard that flowers bloom all year round and the climate is pleasant. It's like a paradise on earth." Zhang Yue was embraced by the fresh air and warm sunshine as soon as he stepped out of the cabin. He said with an intoxicated look on his face.

Li Xiao took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Yes, Kunming's charm is more than that. Let's go to Dianchi Lake first. It is a shining pearl in Yunnan."

The three of them came to the Dianchi Lake, where they saw the vast expanse of the lake, sparkling in the sunlight. The rolling West Mountain in the distance contrasted with the Dianchi Lake, forming a beautiful landscape painting. "Wow, this Dianchi Lake is so big, the scenery is simply unbeatable." Lin Fei looked at the scenery in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Yue excitedly ran to the lakeside, pointed at the red-billed gulls playing on the lake and said, "Look, those red-billed gulls are so cute. They are the elves of Dianchi Lake."

Li Xiao took out some bread crumbs from his bag and handed them to Zhang Yue and Lin Fei: "Come, feed them some food and feel the joy of close contact with nature."

The three of them laughed and talked happily while feeding the red-billed gulls, which circled in the sky, sometimes swooped down to eat bread crumbs, and sometimes landed on their shoulders, attracting envious glances from the surrounding tourists.

After leaving Dianchi Lake, they came to Cuihu Park in downtown Kunming. Cuihu Park is shaded by green trees, and the lake water is clear and emerald green, with many red-billed gulls living there. "This Cuihu Park is truly a green gem in Kunming. It is rare to have such a tranquil lake in the city center," said Li Xiao.

Zhang Yue sat down in the pavilion by the lake, looking at the lotus flowers in the lake, and said softly: "If we come here in summer, the lotus flowers here will be in full bloom, and it will definitely be more beautiful."

Lin Fei was observing the fish in the lake: "These fish are so fat, swimming freely in the water, it's really comfortable."

Near noon, they walked into a Yunnan restaurant. "Let's try Yunnan's cross-bridge rice noodles, which is a famous delicacy." Li Xiao recommended to everyone.

After a while, the waiter brought the steaming hot cross-bridge rice noodles. In the exquisite large bowl, the boiling hot chicken soup was steaming, and various side dishes were neatly arranged. "This way of eating is quite particular. First put the side dishes into the soup one by one, and then pour in the rice noodles." Zhang Yue followed Li Xiao's instructions and operated with interest.

"Wow, this rice noodle has a smooth texture and the soup is delicious. It's amazing." Zhang Yue praised it highly after taking a bite.

Lin Fei also praised the Xuanwei ham on the table: "This ham is salty and delicious, and the meat is firm. It is different from any ham I have eaten before."

In the afternoon, they came to Kunming's flower and bird market. The flower and bird market was full of flowers, and various rare flowers competed for beauty. "These flowers are so beautiful, I am dazzled." Zhang Yue shuttled among the flowers like a butterfly.

Li Xiao stopped in front of a succulent plant stall: "Kunming's climate is very suitable for growing succulents. These succulents are fat and cute."
