travel starts with photography

Chapter 163 What School Are You From?

One side of the city wall of Xi'an is the moat, and the other side is the appearance of a modern city, as if the city wall is still guarding the people of Xi'an today.

The high and low female walls at hand are exactly where the archers hid in the old wars.The quaint environment leads people to appreciate the rich storyline, as if the war scenes seen in the movies were staged here.

While riding, Chen Xing felt the unevenness of the floor tiles. Such mottled traces made the cyclists deeply realize that the long years have flowed here.

Although this is just a section of the city wall, there are definitely a lot of ancient buildings, gate towers, arrow towers, main buildings, enemy towers and many other ancient military facilities.

These buildings have been manufactured to serve the defense of the city wall, and they have a kind of iron and blood temperament that ancient towns and buildings cannot possess.If you look closely, you may be able to find traces of being scorched by flames, as well as those small holes, which were shot out by bows and arrows.

It's a pity I couldn't go in and have a look.

In this way, Chen Xing walked straight to the east, looking at the scenery on both sides of the city wall, looking forward and looking back at the open scenery in front and back of the city wall, while looking forward to the moment when the sky will soon get dark and the lights on the city wall will first come on.

Although the weather was a bit gloomy, and the light was very dim at four or five o'clock, it was not dark for a long time.

Chen Xing rode around the city wall and returned the car within three hours of renting it.

Then I stood on the crenel a little bored and looked at the city outside.

A large number of modern buildings have been built on both sides of the current Xi'an city wall, and the scenery is generally the same, but like green leaves, it sets off the image of the landmark building of the ancient city wall of Xi'an, attracting the attention of every donkey friend.

If the city walls had not been preserved, Xi'an would have lost more than half of its charm.

It was finally dark.

The Lantern Festival also started. After five or six o’clock, the city wall was empty, and now there are more people, and many of them brought children to visit. The children’s surprise cry after seeing the lanterns It looks very lively here.

Chen Xing also walked slowly with the camera, occasionally taking a few photos.

On the city wall, there is a place where Hanfu is rented out to take pictures. Some girls who are confident in their figure will change into Hanfu and take pictures on the city wall.After Chen Xing saw this, he would go to join in the fun. No one would dislike seeing too many beauties, would they?
During the day, he also took pictures of a few beauties wearing Hanfu, but at night, they put on Hanfu and stood on the ancient city wall to pose, which has a different flavor and looks better.

There were no large lanterns at the lantern festival, and the biggest ones were the two lions Chen Xing saw when he went up the city wall.

This is different from the Zigong Lantern Festival. The Zigong Lantern Festival likes to put ancient legends on the lanterns, which is mysterious and terrifying.When Chen Xing went there before, he had seen huge moving dinosaurs, but he didn't know how it had been done in the past few years.

After getting off the city wall, Chen Xing hailed a car.

When I looked back again, I found that the city wall was also pasted with colorful lights.

At night, the city wall of Xi’an cannot be seen as a whole, but it also has an outline under the colored lights. I don’t know why, although the colored lights are something that is only available in modern times, now it seems that the city wall has a simple and simple temperament.

The lights on the city wall will be in full swing, and from the bottom, only streaks of light can be seen appearing on the edge of the city wall.

The taxi driver waited anxiously, opened the window and asked, "Can we go?"

"Go, go, of course."

Chen Xing quickly put his things away before getting into the car.

"Lemon Hotel."

The driver just started driving and said, "Have you spent a day looking at the city wall with your suitcase?"

Chen Xing said with a smile, "I even drove around."

"Oh, what is there to see now? It's cold, and the cold wind is blowing up there, so there's nothing to block the wind."

It's really not windproof, and the nearest buildings around are far away.

Chen Xing said: "You are right, but the more I think about it, the more I feel that the people who guarded the city wall above were very powerful. We were wearing down jackets, and our coats felt cold. How cold do you think those soldiers will be?"

"It used to be so cold now. Now our winter is getting colder and summer is getting hotter. Last summer it was [-] degrees. This year it must be hotter. Hey, where is the handsome guy from?"

"I'm from Sichuan Province."

"Chuan Province, that's even hotter."

This driver is also talkative, but he doesn't seem to know much about history.

It was the Little Ice Age in the late Ming Dynasty, so it must be colder than modern times?

Soon the Lemon Hotel will be here.

This is the place Chen Xing booked before coming to Xi'an. Since he couldn't find a hotel in Tibet, he likes to book a hotel in advance before coming to a city.The location is also very good, in Beilin District, surrounded by many attractions.

Before coming today, Chen Xing planned to visit the city wall first, and then go to the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower to have a look, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. Chen Xing stayed on the city wall for a few hours to watch the lantern festival, and now the Bell and Drum Towers have passed the opening It's time.

After opening the room at the front desk, Chen Xing went in to take a shower, and then came out to look for food with his camera.

The snacks in Xi'an are also well-known throughout the country. When Chen Xing was in the car before, he saw many noodle restaurants, Roujiamo shops, and Hu spicy soup.

Chen Xing was very curious about Hu spicy soup, and didn't know what it tasted like.

After going downstairs, Chen Xing walked aimlessly, looking for something delicious on the way.After he detoured into an unknown alley, he found that it was full of food.

And most of them are supper.

Isn't this a coincidence?
What Laobaijia noodle restaurant, Fumin original clay oven barbecue, lobster barbecue, spicy grilled fish, Hongfuxiang fried yellow beef...

The shops all over the street are full of tables outside their shops, and every house is separated by barbed wire.

But these shops are all on the right, and on the left is a wall, and inside the wall is the community.

The people who live here are pitiful, they have to hear the noise outside at night, and they have to smell this fragrance every day to sleep, how can they sleep.

If it were Chen Xing, he would definitely not be able to sleep, so he must come out here to eat something every night.

While he was choosing what to eat tonight, a small yellow car seemed to slip, and the wheels shook.The person sitting on it obviously didn't have much experience in riding a bicycle. He couldn't hold on to the faucet, and he was flustered, so he could only care about screaming.

"Help! Give way!"

When Chen Xing saw the car coming towards him, he reacted very quickly, quickly moved out of the way, and had time to pull the hanging camera to the side.

The car was about to fall when it passed in front of him.

Subconsciously, Chen Xing hugged that person and pulled her down from the back of the car.

The bicycle fell to the ground and slid a few meters forward, hitting the barbed wire fence outside a shop. The girl driving was so scared that she kept taking a deep breath, and the hot air kept hitting Chen Xing's neck.

After putting her down, Chen Xing stretched his shoulders.

The driving speed was so fast that Chen Xing almost missed it.

"Are you all right?"

"Wow!!!!!"

The girl in the baseball cap burst into tears, and when Chen Xing put her down, she hugged him again.

"Hey! Beauty!"

She looked at Chen Xing's face, she didn't know what she was thinking, she continued to cry, and said, "I was scared to death, who threw the banana peel, it's so immoral!"

Chen Xing sighed, and asked again: "Are you okay?"

She stepped back and said, "It's okay."

A few more people on small yellow bikes came over, and when someone got off the bike, they said, "Did you fall?"

There were also those who were far away and didn't see it, and said, "What's the matter?"

Chen Xing saw that there were six of them, including men and women, most of whom came here for supper together, but he didn't speak, and looked at the girl in baseball cap who was wiping tears.

"It's okay, I slipped just now, this handsome guy saved me."

The boy who was most anxious exhaled, thinking that he was fine, and said to Chen Xing, "Thanks, buddy."

The girl turned around and asked, "Handsome guy, thank you, how about we treat you to dinner?"

At this time, people who eat supper come here, otherwise, who would walk into this alley?So she felt that Chen Xing was also here to eat, so she invited him by the way.

It doesn't cost much for one more person.

Chen Xing shook his head and said, "No, I didn't do anything."

The girl had recovered from the previous panic, and said carelessly: "Oh, you're welcome, aren't you young?"

The rest of the people asked Chen Xing to join them.

Chen Xing refused twice, and after seeing that they were serious, he didn't say anything, and was dragged into the barbecue restaurant.

Six people, two girls and four boys.

Well, now there are five boys.

Two of the men went to get food, and the woman in the baseball cap was talking to her companion about the danger just now, baring her teeth and waving her claws, she seemed to be a very lively person.Another girl was introducing the people here to Chen Xing.

The six were students at a nearby university who had formed a band and had just come out of practice for a bite to eat.

Among the four boys are a pair of twins, Liu Guanghui and Liu Guangyao, the introverted guy is called Liang Yu, the guy who thanked Chen Xing before is called Luo Jianguo, the girl who talks is called Yang Ying, the girl with a baseball cap is called...

The girl who was still talking to her friend heard that she was introduced, and quickly reached out to Chen Xing.

"My name is Zhou Xueyan, thank you, if not for you, I still don't know what it would be like to be thrown."

Chen Xing shook hands with her, and said, "It's okay, I just happened to meet, and I need to help."

Yang Ying said: "This is not a matter of giving hands, this is a hero saving the beauty."

Luo Jianguo came back with the things, and his face turned black after hearing this sentence.

He also wanted to be a hero to save the beauty, so how could he be preempted by this person, and he is so handsome, a strong enemy.

He put the things down, looked at the heat skillfully, and thought it would be better to wait a little longer, so he said: "My name is Luo Jianguo, and the sword is the sword of a precious sword, hello, hello."

"Chen Xing, hello, star in the starry sky."

Yang Ying said, "I introduced you to Chen Xing just now."

"Ah?" Luo Jianguo withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "Did you say that I am the guitarist and lead singer of the band?"

"I'm the lead singer!" Zhou Xueyan said.

"Yes yes yes." Luo Jianguo nodded again and again, and then asked Chen Xing: "Are you here for tourism in Xi'an?"

"kindness."

"I think you are so young, where did you study?"

Now that the universities are open, there is still time to travel around with a camera at this time, Luo Jianguo can't think of any other schools, so this Chen Xing is just a person who didn't get into the university?
Didn't pass the college entrance examination, still want to chase after my goddess?
Chen Xing had a conditioned reflex.

Looking up at him.

Huh?
Are you coming?When competing in schools?
Chen Xing still remembers eating in the holy city, there were three people at a table, and he sat like a minion, embarrassed to talk about his school, so embarrassed that he could only persuade him to drink.

Unexpectedly, at another dinner table, someone asked about his school again.

"Ahem, I'm studying abroad, and school hasn't started yet."

"what?"

Luo Jianguo was stupid.

"Really? Did you go to university abroad?"

"What country, is it fun to study abroad?"

Several others were curious.

Interests are irrelevant, they only think that Chen Xing is a good person, very suitable for making friends... They didn't say a few words, and no one thought carefully about where this feeling came from.

Zhou Xueyan let out a wow.

"What did you study?"

"I'm in Paris, studying photography."

"Photography?" She looked at Chen Xing's camera and asked, "Is it just for taking pictures? I've always been curious about what this major is about. Just taking pictures seems too monotonous."

Chen Xing took a sip of sour plum juice and said:
"A lot, art, design, art theory, modeling, and photography are not just about taking pictures. Departments related to film, television, and advertising are all professional counterparts."

"What school?"

"ENSAD, National School of Decorative Arts, Paris, France."

"Wow, that's amazing."

Yang Ying also nodded, and said, "It sounds amazing. I really want to travel to Paris."

Chen Xing said: "I'm still very familiar with Paris, if you come to find me, I'll be your private tour guide."

For tourists who are new to Paris, a tour guide is very important...at least Chen Xing thinks so.

Because the law and order in some places is really not very good, if accompanied by a local who can speak French, at least the chance of losing the bag will not be very high, and generally speaking, there will be no robbery.

The best thing is to know how to plan the route and choose a safe route.

"Great, let's add a friend!" Yang Ying was very positive, she really wanted to travel to Paris.

Girls of their age still yearn for Paris, just like Chen Xing made an appointment with his first love to see the Eiffel Tower in Paris before, there is a feeling that Paris is very romantic.

"Yes, yes, add friends!" Zhou Xueyan also quickly took out his mobile phone.

Chen Xing responded with a smile, feeling so refreshed.

Those Qinghua Yanda students probably felt this way when they were suddenly asked about the school outside.

Finally I can feel it too.

After adding friends, Zhou Xueyan checked the temperature and asked, "Chen Xing, what do you want to eat? I'll bake it for you!"

"I'll do it myself."

"I like to bake for people, it's delicious!"
