Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Zhang Yue ate the cured pork ribs and nodded in praise: "These cured pork ribs have been marinated and have a strong flavor. The side dishes in the hot pot are also very tasty."

Lin Fei ate with relish and said as he ate: "Lijiang's food is indeed unique. I can feel the local characteristics in every bite."

The next morning, they headed towards Yulong Snow Mountain. As the altitude increased, the scenery in front of them was gradually covered with ice and snow. The towering snow-capped mountains shone silver in the sunlight.

Li Xiao looked at the snow-capped mountains and was shocked: "This Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is so spectacular. It is like a holy giant, guarding the land of Lijiang."

Zhang Yue felt a little uncomfortable due to altitude sickness, but he could not hide his amazement: "Although I feel a little uncomfortable, the beautiful scenery really makes it all worth it."

Lin Fei was busy taking photos, wanting to record all of this magnificent scenery: "Every angle of this snow-capped mountain is extremely beautiful. I must take more photos to show my friends back."

They took the cable car and ascended slowly, enjoying the beauty of the snow-capped mountains up close. The glaciers and snow on the mountains were so close that they seemed within reach.

After coming down from Yulong Snow Mountain, they came to Shuhe Ancient Town, which was more peaceful and quiet than Lijiang Ancient Town.

Li Xiao rode a rented bicycle through the alleys of the ancient town, feeling the breeze on his face: "This Shuhe Ancient Town is like a paradise, far away from the hustle and bustle, where people can really relax their body and mind."

Zhang Yue sat down by the river in the ancient town, watching the clear river water flowing slowly: "I won't feel bored even if I sit here all day. It seems that time has stopped for this ancient town."

Lin Fei was selecting local specialties at the market in the ancient town. He picked up a Dongba wood carving and said, "This wood carving has very ethnic characteristics. The carved patterns seem to contain special meanings."

During their stay in Lijiang, they were immersed in the charm of the ancient city, the magnificence of the snow-capped mountains and the tranquility of the ancient town. Li Xiao said with emotion: "Lijiang is like a thick book, every page is full of stories, and every corner is worth savoring."

Zhang Yue said: "Yes, this trip to Lijiang has brought me a lot of benefits. Everything here will become an unforgettable memory in my heart."

Lin Fei said with great anticipation: "I don't know what kind of surprises the next city will bring us. I can't wait to set off." Continue to Chapter 9: Qingdao Trip

After finishing the leisurely trip in Lijiang, Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Lin Fei took a plane to the north and arrived in Qingdao, which is full of ocean atmosphere. As the plane gradually approached the destination, Li Xiao looked out the window at the blue sea and the scattered urban buildings below, and said excitedly to his companions: "Qingdao, this coastal city, has the aroma of beer, the delicious seafood, and the charming European-style buildings. It will definitely give us a different experience."

Zhang Yue was also full of anticipation: "I really want to stroll along the seaside boardwalk, feel the sea breeze, and feel the magnificence and gentleness of the sea."

Lin Fei smiled and said, "I came here for the Tsingtao beer and the seafood. I must taste them thoroughly."

After arriving in Qingdao, they went to the pier as soon as possible. There were many tourists on the pier, and the sea breeze whistled past, bringing the unique salty and humid smell of the sea.

Li Xiao stood at the end of the pier, looking at the sparkling sea in the distance, and sighed: "This sea is really endless. Standing here, I feel so small."

Zhang Yue watched the flocks of seagulls flying over the sea under the bridge and excitedly took out bread crumbs to feed them: "Look at these seagulls, they are not afraid of people at all, they are so cute."

Lin Fei recorded this beautiful moment with his mobile phone: "This picture is so beautiful. The trestle bridge is indeed a landmark attraction in Qingdao."

After leaving the pier, they walked into a seafood restaurant. Looking at the fresh seafood in the tank, Lin Fei couldn't wait to say, "Boss, give me some fried prawns, spicy fried clams, and Spanish mackerel dumplings."

Soon, the dishes were served. Li Xiao picked up a fried prawn, the shell was crispy, the meat was tender and chewy, he praised: "This fried prawn is great, the meat is sweet, and the heat is just right."

Zhang Yue tasted the spicy fried clams and said with a smile: "These clams are very fresh, and the spicy fried flavor is rich. I can't stop eating one after another."

Lin Fei took a bite of the Spanish mackerel dumpling and his eyes lit up: "This Spanish mackerel dumpling has a large filling and thin skin. The delicious taste of the fish spreads in my mouth. It's so delicious."

After dinner, they came to Badaguan, which is known as the "International Architecture Expo" for its collection of architectural styles from more than 20 countries including Russia, Britain, France, Germany, and Malaysia.

Li Xiao strolled along the streets of Badaguan, looking at buildings of different styles, and said: "These buildings seem to have taken me to Europe. Each one has its own unique charm and historical story."

Zhang Yue walked into the courtyard of a German-style building and was attracted by the beautiful garden inside: "This courtyard is so exquisitely designed, the flowers and the architecture complement each other."

Lin Fei was studying the architectural style and characteristics on the side: "The architectural styles of different countries collide and merge here, forming Qingdao's unique urban style."

As night fell, they arrived at Qingdao Beer Street, where the strong aroma of beer filled the air.

Li Xiao walked into a beer house and ordered a fresh Tsingtao beer. After taking a sip, he said with satisfaction: "This Tsingtao beer has a refreshing taste and rich malt aroma. It lives up to its reputation."

Zhang Yue also took a sip and said, "Drinking beer in Qingdao is really unique. It makes me feel relaxed both physically and mentally."

Lin Fei sang happily along with the local residents, following the rhythm of the music: "Qingdao is such a happy place, with delicious food, beautiful scenery, and good wine."

As the trip to Qingdao was coming to an end, Li Xiao said with emotion: "Qingdao is like a shining pearl on the seaside, integrating natural beauty, diverse culture and unique food, which is unforgettable."

Zhang Yue said: "Yes, every moment here is full of joy and surprise. I will remember Qingdao forever."

Lin Fei said with great anticipation: "What kind of excitement will be waiting for us in the next city? I can't wait to embark on a new journey." Continue to Chapter 10: Sanya Trip

With fond memories of Qingdao, Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Lin Fei set off for Sanya again. The plane slowly landed at Sanya Phoenix International Airport. Through the window, the azure sea and lush tropical scenery were in full view. Li Xiao could not hide his excitement: "Sanya is the top seaside resort in China. The sunshine, beach and coconut trees make me excited just thinking about it."

Zhang Yue also looked longing: "Yes, I want to go to Yalong Bay to enjoy the blue sea and sky, as well as the soft and fine beach."

Lin Fei rubbed his hands and said, "I heard that the seafood in Sanya is especially fresh and sweet. I must eat enough this time."

They headed straight for Yalong Bay. Once they reached the beach, the snow-white beach sparkled in the sunlight, and the waves gently hit the shore, making pleasant sounds. Li Xiao took off his shoes, stepped on the beach, and felt the sand sliding through his toes: "This beach is so comfortable, just like stepping on cotton candy."

Zhang Yue couldn't wait to put on her swimsuit and rushed to the sea: "Wow, the sea water is so cool. It feels great to swim in the sea."

Lin Fei wore sunglasses and lay on a beach chair, saying comfortably: "This is what a vacation should be like, sunshine and beach, so beautiful."

After swimming, they had dinner at a restaurant by the sea. Li Xiao looked at the menu and said, "Let's have a coconut chicken hotpot, steamed grouper, and steamed sea urchin eggs."

The hot pot was served, with sweet coconut water as the soup base, exuding a rich coconut aroma. After the chicken was cooked in the pot, it was tender and juicy. Li Xiao tasted the chicken and said, "The taste of this coconut chicken is so unique. The chicken has the sweetness of coconut and is tender and smooth."

Zhang Yue was eating the steamed egg with sea urchin: "This steamed egg with sea urchin is so delicious. The freshness of the sea urchin is completely integrated into the steamed egg, and it melts in your mouth."

Lin Fei was full of praise for the steamed grouper: "The meat of this grouper is as white as jade, and the steaming method retains the original flavor of the fish. It is so delicious that my eyebrows are about to fall off."

In the evening, they arrived at Sanya Bay, where the sunset was breathtakingly beautiful. The entire sky was dyed orange-red, and the sea surface was sparkling, reflecting the gorgeous sunset.

Li Xiao looked at the sunset quietly: "The sunset in Sanya Bay is simply a masterpiece of nature. The scenery is different every second."

Zhang Yue kept taking photos: "Such a beautiful scenery, I must take more photos as a souvenir, so I can enjoy it slowly when I go back."

Lin Fei sighed at the side: "In such a beautiful scenery, it feels like all the troubles are thrown away."

The next day, they went to Nanshan Cultural Tourism Area. Entering the scenic area, the magnificent Nanshan Sea Guanyin Statue was awe-inspiring.

Li Xiao clasped his hands together and said devoutly: "This statue of Guanyin at sea is so stunning, solemn and majestic, and makes people feel the strong atmosphere of Buddhist culture."

Zhang Yue nodded aside: "Yes, standing under the Guanyin statue, it seems that the soul has been purified."

Lin Fei carefully observed the details of the Guanyin statue: "The craftsmanship of this statue is so exquisite, every detail is lifelike."

During their stay in Sanya, they fully enjoyed the sunshine, beaches, delicious food, beautiful scenery and unique culture. Li Xiao said with emotion: "Sanya is a paradise on earth, where people can completely relax and enjoy life."

Zhang Yue said: "Yes, everything here is so beautiful, I don't want to leave."

Lin Fei smiled and said, "But our journey is still going on. The next city will definitely bring us something different and exciting." Continue to Chapter 11: Harbin Trip

Bidding farewell to the warm Sanya, Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Lin Fei set off for Harbin. When the plane landed at the airport of the Ice City, the outside was already a world covered in silver. Li Xiao wrapped his cotton coat tightly, exhaled a breath of white air and said: "Harbin, this northern ice city, ice sculptures, snow scenes, Russian-style architecture, must have a unique flavor."

Zhang Yue also jumped excitedly, trying to dispel the chill: "I really want to see those exquisite ice sculptures. I heard they are magnificent under the light."

Lin Fei smiled and said, "I'm still thinking about Harbin red sausage and sweet and sour pork. In this cold weather, I have to eat something hot and delicious."

They first came to the Ice and Snow World. As soon as they entered the park, it was as if they had entered a crystal clear ice and snow kingdom. The huge ice sculptures shone with colorful lights, including towering castles, lively animal shapes, and spectacular ice slides.

Li Xiao looked up at an ice sculpture of a castle and exclaimed, "This ice sculpture is simply amazing. It must have taken a lot of manpower and time to create such a large scale."

Zhang Yue shuttled through the maze of ice sculptures, and her laughter echoed between the ice walls: "This maze is so interesting. I almost felt dizzy in it, but it was really fun."

Lin Fei couldn't wait to climb up the ice slide, whizzing down the whole way, shouting: "It's so exciting! This ice slide is the most exciting one I've ever played on."

After some sightseeing, they walked into a Russian-style western restaurant, which was filled with the rich aroma of bread and the sweet and sour taste of borscht.

Li Xiao looked at the menu and said, "I'd like a red sausage platter, sweet and sour pork, black bread, and borscht."

When the food was served, Li Xiao picked up a Harbin red sausage and took a bite: "This sausage has firm meat and a strong smoky flavor. The more you chew it, the more delicious it becomes."

Zhang Yue was eating the sweet and sour pork with golden and crispy skin wrapped around the tender meat slices. "This sweet and sour pork is so authentic, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and tastes great."

Lin Fei praised the black bread highly: "This black bread has a solid texture and a strong wheat flavor, and it goes perfectly with borscht."

At night, they strolled along the central street, which was lined with exotic Russian-style buildings and the square stone road was barely visible under the snow.

Li Xiao said: "This Central Street is full of historical charm, and every building has witnessed the changes in Harbin."

Zhang Yue stopped in front of a Russian handicraft store, which was filled with special products such as nesting dolls and vodka utensils. Zhang Yue picked up an exquisite nesting doll and said, "These dolls are so cute, with beautiful patterns, and very memorable."

Lin Fei bought a Madiel popsicle on the street. Eating it in the cold weather was a special kind of fun: "This Madiel popsicle has a strong milky flavor. Although it's cold, it's really delicious."

As the trip in Harbin was coming to an end, Li Xiao said with emotion: "Harbin is really a unique city. The ice and snow culture and Russian style are perfectly integrated, and the food is also unforgettable."

Zhang Yue said: "Yes, the ice and snow here gave us a different travel experience. I will remember this place forever."

Lin Fei said with great anticipation: "I don't know what kind of surprises the next city will bring us. I am ready for a new adventure." Continue to Chapter 12: Dali Trip
Leaving the crystal world of Harbin, the ice city, Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Lin Fei traveled to the romantic Dali. When the plane landed, a warm breeze with a faint floral scent blew over, making people feel comfortable. Li Xiao stretched and said with a smile: "Dali, this is a romantic place with Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. It feels beautiful just thinking about it." (End of this chapter)
