Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

The next morning, Lu Yong and his girlfriend Hannah woke up in the fresh morning light.

The sunlight outside the window shines into the room through the curtains, bringing a touch of warmth.

The two smiled at each other, as if to say: "A new day, a new beginning."

They got up quickly, washed up, and took a taxi to their next destination, the Da Baoen Temple Ruins Scenic Area.

Da Baoen Temple is located at No. 1 Yuhua Road outside Zhonghuamen. It is an important tourist attraction integrating history, culture and art.

As one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Chinese history, Da Baoen Temple is not only the first Buddhist temple built in southern China, but also carries profound historical and cultural connotations, which shows its importance and influence.

Outside the car window, the scenery of Nanjing city looks particularly beautiful in the morning light.

Hannah snuggled in Lu Yong's arms and whispered, "Yong, I have always been interested in the history and culture of Da Baoen Temple. Today I can finally see it with my own eyes. I am really looking forward to it!"

Lu Yong smiled and patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, today we will experience the charm of this thousand-year-old temple."

Soon, the taxi stopped in front of the gate of the Da Baoen Temple Ruins Scenic Area.

After getting off the car, they looked up and saw a majestic glazed pagoda standing before them. The tower was shining with bright light, as if telling a thousand years of history.

"Wow, is this the glazed pagoda? It's so spectacular!" Hannah exclaimed.

Lu Yong nodded: "Yes, this is the glazed pagoda known as the No. 1 pagoda in the world. It is not only unique in architectural art, but also an important symbol of Buddhist culture in Nanjing and even China."

The two excitedly approached the glazed pagoda and started taking photos and checking in.

They struck various poses, sometimes hugging and laughing, sometimes pointing their fingers to the sky, as if they wanted to become one with this thousand-year-old tower.

In the camera, their smiles are bright and happy.

After taking the photos, Lu Yong took Hannah into the Da Baoen Temple Ruins Scenic Area.

This is not an ordinary Buddhist temple, but more like a Buddhist art museum.

A large number of Buddhist-related artworks are displayed on both sides of the counter, each of which exudes an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

Hannah was filled with curiosity and awe at these works of art.

She carefully read the introduction and historical background of each artwork, exclaiming from time to time: "Wow, the carving of this Buddha statue is so delicate! The colors of this mural are so bright!"

Lu Yong looked at Hannah's excitement and felt full of satisfaction.

He knew that Hannah had always been interested in and interested in history, and this place had indeed helped her gain a lot of knowledge.

The two continued walking forward and arrived at the Millennium Facing Viewing Spot.

This place displays the vicissitudes and glory of the thousand-year history of Da Baoen Temple.

Standing on the viewing platform that had been facing each other for thousands of years, they seemed to travel through time and space, and felt the long history and profound cultural heritage of this ancient temple.

"Yong, just imagine, this place was once a holy place in the hearts of so many literati and Buddhist believers!" Hannah said with emotion.

Lu Yong nodded: "Yes, this place has witnessed too many historical changes and human warmth and coldness. Every era has its own unique stories and heritage."

Then, they came to the Lotus Pond Sea Assembly Scenic Spot.

This place symbolizes the Pure Land in Buddhism, which is peaceful and harmonious.

The water in the pond is crystal clear, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, and the fish are swimming freely in the water.

They sat on the bench by the pool, feeling the tranquility and beauty.

"Yong, do you think the Pure Land in Buddhism really exists?" Hannah asked softly.

Lu Yong pondered for a moment and replied: "I think the Pure Land may not be a real place, but a state of mind. As long as we keep our hearts peaceful, kind and compassionate, we can feel the existence of the Pure Land."

After listening to Lu Yong's words, Hannah nodded thoughtfully.

She knew that Lu Yong had always been a thoughtful and profound person, and his views always brought her new inspiration and thinking.

Afterwards, they came to the Relics Buddha Light Scenic Spot.

Important concepts and beliefs in Buddhist culture are showcased here.

They stood in front of the stupa, gazing up at the towering ancient pagoda, their hearts filled with awe and emotion.

"Yong, look at this stupa. It bears witness to the inheritance and development of Buddhist culture," said Hannah.

Lu Yong nodded: "Yes, the stupa is one of the important symbols of Buddhist culture. It represents the wisdom and compassion of the Buddha, and also represents the faith and pursuit of believers."

During their tour, they also met a man who looked like an abbot.

The abbot came up to him and gave Lu Yong a pendant that looked like jade.

He said that this was a blessed jade pendant and he would not charge a penny for it.

Lu Yong asked in surprise: "Master, why did you give me this jade pendant?"

The abbot smiled and replied, "I see that you have a connection with this jade pendant, so I'll give it to you. I hope that wearing it will bring you peace, good fortune, and success in everything."

After hearing the abbot's words, Lu Yong's heart was filled with gratitude and joy.

After expressing his thanks, he took the jade pendant and found it to be as smooth as jade, with a soft luster, as if it really contained some mysterious power.

After the abbot turned and left, Lu Yong put the jade pendant around his neck, feeling the warmth and strength it brought.

He knew that this was an unexpected gain and a wonderful blessing.

Then, Lu Yong brought Hannah to the Millennium Underground Palace.

This is a mysterious and solemn place, rich in history and culture.

They walked down the stone steps into the underground palace, feeling the mystery and solemnity.

The underground palace was dark and silent, with only a faint light illuminating the road ahead.

They walked carefully, afraid of disturbing the tranquility here.

The walls are carved with exquisite Buddha statues and murals, each of which tells Buddhist stories and legends.

Hannah held Lu Yong's hand tightly, feeling his warmth and strength.

She knew that in this strange place, having Lu Yong by her side was her greatest comfort and support.

They walked out of the underground palace and returned to the sunny ground.

At this time, the Da Baoen Temple Ruins Scenic Area appears even more beautiful and peaceful.

They stood in front of the glazed pagoda, reviewing the experiences and gains of the day.

"Yong, today is so meaningful!" Hannah said excitedly, "I not only learned about the history and culture of Da Baoen Temple, but also felt the profound connotation and charm of Buddhist culture."

Lu Yong smiled and nodded: "Yes, today is indeed an unforgettable journey. Not only did we take a lot of beautiful photos, but we also received this unexpected jade pendant blessing."

The two smiled at each other, as if to say: "Our love will be like this thousand-year-old temple, weathering wind and rain and remaining fresh over time."

At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on them, giving their love a layer of golden glow.

They hugged each other tightly, feeling the beauty and happiness.

……

This trip to the ruins of Da Baoen Temple was indeed very interesting.

Lu Yong and Hannah not only took more than 200 precious photos, but also gained a lot of knowledge about Buddhist culture and history.

More importantly, their love was further sublimated and consolidated in this process.

On the way back, they were still immersed in the beautiful memories.

Hannah snuggled in Lu Yong's arms and whispered, "Yong, thank you for spending such a wonderful day with me today. I will cherish these memories forever."

Lu Yong smiled and patted her shoulder: "Na, do you know? In fact, the one I should thank the most is you. It is you who made me feel the beauty and happiness of life. With you by my side, every day is the best time."

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if to say: "Our love will always be so beautiful."

As the taxi slowly drove away, the Da Baoen Temple Ruins Scenic Area gradually disappeared from their sight.

However, they know that this wonderful journey and memories will remain in their hearts forever.

That majestic glazed pagoda, those exquisite Buddhist artworks, that mysterious thousand-year-old underground palace... will all become the most precious wealth and source of strength in their hearts.

Because in this place, they not only felt the weight of history and the charm of culture, but also found each other's most sincere love and faith.

This faith and love will accompany them through every spring, summer, autumn and winter, every day of wind and rain in the future. The next morning, the sun shone through the gaps in the curtains and sprinkled on the faces of Lu Yong and Hannah.

After yesterday's rest, they were refreshed and ready to continue exploring the beautiful city of Nanjing.

Lu Yong stretched and said, "Dear, how about we go to Xuanwu Lake today? It is a famous scenic spot in Nanjing and is known as the Pearl of Jinling!"

Hannah's eyes sparkled with excitement when she heard this: "Great! I've heard of Xuanwu Lake for a long time, and today I can finally see it with my own eyes!"

The two quickly got up, washed up, and took a taxi to the Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area.

Xuanwu Lake, located at No. 1 Xuanwu Lane, is a large scenic spot integrating natural scenery and cultural landscape.

As one of the three famous lakes in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not only the largest royal garden lake in China, but also enjoys a high reputation throughout the country.

Outside the car window, the scenery of Nanjing city looks particularly beautiful in the morning light.

Lu Yong and Hannah held hands tightly, looking forward to the upcoming trip to Xuanwu Lake.

Soon, the taxi stopped in front of the gate of Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area.

After they got off the car, they looked up and saw a vast lake. The water was crystal clear and reflected the blue sky and white clouds.

The path along the lake is lined with green trees, like a natural landscape painting.

"Wow, it's so beautiful here!" Hannah exclaimed.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded: "The natural scenery of Xuanwu Lake is indeed intoxicating, but here there is not only beautiful scenery, but also rich history and culture!"

The two walked into the scenic area excitedly and began to explore this magical land.

They strolled along the path by the lake, admiring the scenery of the lake and mountains and feeling the healing power of nature.

"Yong, look at the undulating mountains over there, which contrast beautifully with the lake. It's really spectacular!" Hannah said, pointing to the mountains in the distance.

Lu Yong looked in the direction of her finger, and saw undulating mountains, one upon another, which contrasted with the lake, forming a beautiful picture.

He nodded: "The landscape here is indeed unique, but there are even more magical places in Xuanwu Lake!"

As he spoke, he took Hannah to an open lake.

There were a few small boats floating on the lake, and tourists were excitedly stepping on the accelerator and playing on the lake.

"Do you want to try this?" Lu Yong asked.

Hannah looked at the boats, then at Lu Yong, with an excited smile on her face: "Great! I also want to try the feeling of flying on the lake!"

So they rented a small boat and started their adventure on Xuanwu Lake.

Lu Yong and Hannah stepped on the accelerator like riding a bicycle, and the boat moved quickly on the lake.

The breeze blew their hair, but their faces were filled with happy smiles.

"Yong, this feels so great!" Hannah shouted.

Lu Yong smiled and responded: "Yes! It seems that we have merged into this beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains."

While floating on the lake, they saw several wild ducks foraging by the river.

Hannah playfully threw the food in her hand over to the duck, and the duck flapped its wings and flew up, swallowing the food in one gulp.

This scene brought out a beautiful smile from Hannah.

"Haha, look at those ducks, how fun!" Hannah said with a laugh.

Lu Yong also smiled: "The ecological environment here is really good. These ducks live freely here. It's really enviable."

They continued to step on the accelerator and shuttled across the lake.

The lake water sparkles with golden light under the sunlight, like a golden ocean.

The scenery on both sides of the river is constantly changing, sometimes it is a tree-lined path, sometimes it is quaint buildings, and sometimes it is a bustling crowd of tourists.

"Yong, look at the beautiful building over there!" Hannah said, pointing to an ancient building on the shore.

Lu Yong looked in the direction of her finger and saw the ancient building, which was quaint and magnificent.

He nodded and said, "That is a historical site in the Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area. These sites not only add to the cultural heritage of the scenic area, but also provide tourists with a window to understand the history of this place."

Hannah listened, her eyes sparkling with curiosity: "Then let's go down and take a look!"

Lu Yong smiled and nodded: "Okay! Let's go explore the secrets of this ancient building!"

So they moored the boat and walked along the path along the shore.

The ancient building is right in front of you, like a historical monument, telling the long history of Xuanwu Lake.

They walked into the ancient building and began to visit the exhibition inside.

The exhibition room displays various precious cultural relics and pictures, showing the historical changes and cultural connotations of Xuanwu Lake.

"Yong, look at this porcelain, it's so beautiful!" Hannah said, pointing to a piece of exquisite porcelain.

Lu Yong looked in the direction of her finger and saw that the porcelain had a beautiful shape and a warm glaze. He nodded and said, "This is an ancient handicraft, representing the artistic level of that era."

After hearing this, Hannah became even more curious: "Is there anything else fun here?"

Lu Yong smiled and pointed ahead: "Look over there, there is an ancient pavilion! Let's go sit there!"

So they walked out of the exhibition room and came to the ancient pavilion.

The pavilion is built on a huge rock by the lake, like a tower in the air.

They walked into the pavilion and sat on the stone bench.

A gentle breeze blew their hair.

They looked out at the lake and mountains in the distance, feeling the tranquility and beauty.

"Yong, it's so beautiful here!" Hannah said with emotion.

Lu Yong nodded: "Yes, Xuanwu Lake is indeed a beautiful place. It not only has beautiful natural scenery, but also rich history and culture. It has witnessed the vicissitudes of Nanjing and also carries people's yearning for a better life."

Hannah was filled with emotion when she heard this: "We are so lucky! We can see this beautiful place with our own eyes."

Lu Yong smiled and held her hand tightly. "We are really lucky. However, our journey is not over yet! There are more beautiful scenery waiting for us to explore!"

Hannah listened, her eyes sparkling with anticipation: "So what are we waiting for? Let's continue our journey!"

So they left the pavilion and continued their journey to Xuanwu Lake.

They walked along the winding path, through the dense woods, and came to an open lawn.

The lawn is green and the flowers are blooming.

Children were running and playing on the grass, and couples were strolling hand in hand.

Lu Yong and Hannah also joined in the joyful atmosphere.

They lay on the grass and looked up at the blue sky and white clouds.

The sun shone warmly on their faces.

They chatted and shared each other's thoughts and dreams.

"Yong, do you think we will come here again in the future?" Hannah asked.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded: "Of course! It's so beautiful here, why wouldn't we come? Moreover, we can bring our children with us so that they can also experience this beauty."

Hannah listened, her eyes sparkling with happiness: "That's really something I can't wait for!"

Time passes quietly amid laughter and joy.

Before they knew it, it was getting dark. Lu Yong and Hannah reluctantly left the Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area.

Looking back at this beautiful land, their hearts are filled with gratitude and nostalgia.

This trip to Xuanwu Lake not only allowed them to appreciate the beauty of the lake and mountains, but also allowed them to feel the healing power of nature and the weight of history.

On the way back, they were still immersed in the beautiful memories.

Hannah snuggled in Lu Yong's arms and whispered, "Yong, I'm very happy."

Lu Yong smiled and patted her shoulder: "Me too." (End of this chapter)
