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

Nanjing, a city with a long history, attracts countless tourists with its rich cultural heritage and beautiful natural scenery.

Lu Yong and his girlfriend Hannah's trip to Nanjing is coming to an end. They decided to go to the last stop - Niu Shou Mountain Cultural Tourism Area, to put a perfect end to the trip.

Niu Shou Mountain, as one of the main mountains in Nanjing, is not only one of the four major scenic spots in Jinling, but also a comprehensive scenic spot integrating natural scenery, Buddhist culture, historical culture and modern art.

This place has witnessed the rise and fall of Nanjing for thousands of years and is an important window for understanding Nanjing’s history.

"Lu, look how beautiful this mountain is!" Hannah pointed to Niu Shou Mountain in the distance, her eyes sparkling with excitement, "I heard that this place not only has beautiful scenery, but also has a profound cultural heritage!"

Lu Yong smiled and nodded, holding Hannah's hand tightly: "Yes, I heard about it too. This time we must have a good time and feel the charm of this mountain."

The two walked hand in hand into the Niu Shou Mountain Scenic Area, and the first thing that caught their eyes was the magnificent Buddha's Crown Palace.

The building combines traditional and modern design elements, with a magnificent and majestic appearance.

They couldn't help but be attracted by the exquisiteness of the building and stopped to take a closer look.

"This Buddha Palace is so beautiful!" Hannah exclaimed, "Look at the golden roof, shining in the sun, it looks like a palace!"

Lu Yong also exclaimed: "And I heard that there are ancient Buddha relics brought from India here! This is an important Buddhist holy place in China!"

The two men walked into the Buddha's Crown Palace with awe. They saw that the interior of the palace was decorated magnificently, the Buddha statues were solemn and dignified, and the air was filled with the faint smell of incense.

They couldn't help but be infected by the solemn atmosphere and prayed silently.

In the Buddha's Crown Palace, they not only appreciated exquisite Buddhist artworks, but also learned a lot about the history and culture of Buddhism.

This gave them a deeper understanding and knowledge of Buddhism.

After leaving the Buddha's Head Palace, they continued on their way and arrived at the Buddha's Head Pagoda, located at the commanding heights of Niu Shou Mountain.

This tower is modern and rises high into the clouds, providing an excellent location for viewing the panoramic view of Niu Shou Mountain.

"Lu, look how high this tower is!" Hannah pointed at the Buddha's Peak Tower and said, "Let's climb up. I'm sure we'll be able to see beautiful scenery!"

Lu Yong nodded, took Hannah's hand and walked into the tower.

They climbed up the stairs step by step, each step filled with anticipation and excitement.

Finally, they reached the top of the tower and were shocked by the sight before them.

The entire Niu Shou Mountain Scenic Area is in full view, with rolling mountains in the distance, shady green trees nearby and gentle streams.

The sun shines on the lake, and the waves sparkle, like a beautiful painting.

"It's so beautiful!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaimed, "This is simply a natural landscape painting!"

Lu Yong also sighed: "Yes, the scenery here is so beautiful. It's great to be able to stand here with you and enjoy this beautiful scenery."

The two took photos on the top of the tower, capturing this unforgettable moment.

Then they continued along the mountain road and arrived at the Zheng He Cultural Park.

Zheng He Cultural Park is a special attraction in Niu Shou Mountain Scenic Area, which mainly displays the deeds of Zheng He, a great navigator of the Ming Dynasty.

Through various exhibits and interactive facilities, visitors can gain a deeper understanding of Zheng He's feat of voyages to the West and its profound impact on Chinese and even world history.

"Lu, look here there are exhibits about Zheng He!" Hannah pointed to a display board and said, "It turns out that Zheng He set out to the West from here!"

Lu Yong also looked at the content on the display board with great interest: "Yes, Zheng He is really great. He led his fleet to the West seven times, opened up the sea transportation line between Asia and Africa, and made great contributions to human navigation."

The two lingered in the Zheng He Cultural Park and learned in detail about Zheng He's life and navigation feats.

They were impressed by Zheng He's courage and wisdom and admired this great navigator even more.

After leaving the Zheng He Cultural Park, they continued on their way and came to the former fortress where Yue Fei fought against the Jin army.

This is a historical relic preserved on Niu Shou Mountain, which records the history of Yue Fei, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty, fighting against the Jin soldiers here.

"Lu, look, there are historical relics of Yue Fei here!" Hannah pointed to the old fortress and said, "I heard that Yue Fei was a very patriotic general. He fought against the Jin soldiers here and protected the safety of the country and the people."

Lu Yong nodded, his expression solemn: "Yue Fei is a great national hero. His deeds have inspired generations of Chinese people and made us cherish today's peaceful life even more."

The two men stood in silence in front of Yue Fei's old fortress where he fought against the Jin army, paying tribute to this great national hero.

Then they continued on their way, admiring the natural scenery of Niu Shou Mountain.

The natural scenery of Niu Shou Mountain is extremely beautiful, with towering ancient trees and gentle streams, providing tourists with a good place to get close to nature.

They strolled along the mountain path, feeling the charm of nature.

"Lu, look how tall this tree is!" Hannah pointed to a towering tree and said, "The air here is so fresh, it makes people feel so comfortable!"

Lu Yong also took a deep breath of fresh air: "The natural environment here is really great. It's such a blessing to be able to enjoy this wonderful time with you."

The two walked in the mountains, enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Sometimes they stopped to take pictures, and sometimes they sat on the rocks to rest and chat.

This wonderful time made them forget their tiredness and worries, leaving only endless joy and happiness.

At the same time, many modern art elements are incorporated into the scenic area, blending the ancient and the modern, giving people a refreshing feeling.

They met a tour group and learned about the history and cultural background of Niu Shou Mountain in detail from the tour guide.

“It turns out that Niu Shou Mountain has so many historical stories!” Hannah exclaimed after listening to the guide’s explanation, “It’s really worth coming to Nanjing this time!”

Lu Yong also nodded: "Nanjing is really a city full of historical heritage. It's great to be able to experience the charm of this city with you."

The two spent the whole day on Niu Shou Mountain and reluctantly returned to the hotel by car in the afternoon.

They sat in the car, recalling the day's experiences, their hearts filled with satisfaction and happiness.

"Lu, I'm so happy today!" Hannah said, leaning on Lu Yong's shoulder.

Lu Yong smiled and hugged Hannah tightly: "I am very happy too. Being with you is my greatest happiness."

After returning to the hotel, they began to pack their luggage and prepared to leave Nanjing for their next stop - Xi'an.

Although the trip to Nanjing has ended, this wonderful memory will always remain in their hearts.

This trip to Nanjing not only allowed them to feel the charm and historical heritage of Nanjing, but also deepened the relationship between them.

At the moment of leaving Nanjing, they looked back at this beautiful city, their hearts filled with gratitude and reluctance.

Then, they embarked on a new journey hand in hand, looking forward to the good times in the future.

Niu Shou Mountain, as the last stop of their journey to Nanjing, will always remain in their memory.

This comprehensive scenic spot, which integrates natural scenery, Buddhist culture, historical culture and modern art, not only allows them to feel the charm of nature, but also allows them to have a deeper understanding and knowledge of Nanjing's history and culture.

In the days to come, whenever they recall this trip to Nanjing, they will think of the beautiful Niu Shou Mountain and those unforgettable moments. These memories will become the most precious treasure in their hearts, accompanying them through every stage of their lives.

As the plane slowly landed at the airport in Xi'an, Lu Yong and Hannah's journey began a new chapter.

Xi'an, a city that carries the glorious history of being the ancient capital of 13 dynasties, attracts tourists from all over the world with its profound cultural heritage and countless fascinating internet celebrity check-in spots.

Lu Yong and Hannah, a couple who love exploration, will also start their new journey here.

After arriving in Xi'an, Lu Yong first chose to check into a chain hotel.

They dragged their luggage into the hotel, and after putting down their luggage, they couldn't wait to change into comfortable clothes and take a shower to wash away the fatigue of the journey.

Then, they used the navigation to find the largest snack street nearby and prepared to start tasting the local food of Xi'an.

"Lu, look at how beautiful the night view of Xi'an is!" Hannah stood at the entrance of the hotel, looking up at the starry sky, her eyes sparkling with excitement, "I heard that the snacks in Xi'an are very famous, we must try them today!"

Lu Yong smiled and nodded, holding Hannah's hand tightly: "I have also heard that Xi'an's food culture has a long history and brings together the essence of food from all over the world."

The two walked into the snack street hand in hand, and the scene before them shocked them.

On both sides of the road, a wide variety of snack stalls and restaurants are neatly arranged, brightly lit and bustling.

The air is filled with the aroma of various delicacies, making people salivate.

"Wow, so many snacks, where should we start?" Hannah looked around excitedly, with curiosity shining in her eyes.

Lu Yong pointed to a stall not far away and said, "Look over there, there are so many people gathered around that stall, there must be something delicious there. Let's go and take a look!"

When they got closer, they found out that it was the famous Xi'an Roujiamo.

Roujiamo has a long history and may have originated in the Warring States Period, when it was called "cold meat".

The meat used is usually pork, and various spices are added. It is simmered over low heat for several hours until the meat is soft and fragrant.

A good roujiamo must be fat but not greasy, and lean but not dry.

"Lu, look how tempting this roujiamo is!" Hannah pointed at the roujiamo on the stall and said, "Let's each buy one and try it!"

Lu Yong nodded, and they each bought a roujiamo.

When you take a bite, the aroma of steamed bread and meat spreads in your mouth, it is fresh and delicious, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.

While eating, they praised the deliciousness of Roujiamo.

After eating Roujiamo, the two went to another stall.

The dish sold here is also famous mutton soup with steamed buns.

Mutton soup with steamed bun is not only one of Xi'an's classic delicacies, but also an important part of Xi'an's food culture.

What surprised Lu Yong and Hannah was that there are certain etiquettes for eating mutton soup with steamed buns. One has to break the buns into pieces by oneself, and the smaller the pieces, the better.

"This looks quite interesting!" Hannah picked up a steamed bun and started to break it. "Lu, you should try it too!"

Lu Yong also picked up a steamed bun and started breaking it.

Under the guidance of the shop owner, the two successfully broke the steamed bun into small pieces and soaked them in the soup. It is said that this will allow the steamed bun to better absorb the flavor of the soup.

When the steaming mutton soup with steamed buns was served on the table, the two couldn't wait to taste it.

The rich soup, tender mutton and crispy steamed buns interweave into a wonderful flavor in your mouth.

While eating, they praised the deliciousness and uniqueness of mutton soup with steamed bun.

After eating mutton soup with steamed buns, although the two were a little full, they decided to continue exploring the food in the snack street with the mentality of tasting first.

Next, they came to a stall selling oil-splashed noodles.

Oil-splashed noodles is another classic delicacy in Xi'an. The noodles are chewy and the seasoning poured with hot oil is even more fragrant.

"Lu, look how tempting this oil-splashed noodles is!" Hannah pointed at the oil-splashed noodles on the stall and said, "Let's order some to try!"

Lu Yong nodded, and the two ordered a bowl of oil-splashed noodles.

When the steaming hot oil-splashed noodles were served, they couldn't wait to taste them.

The chewiness of the noodles, the spiciness of the seasoning, and the stimulation of the hot oil interweave to create an intoxicating taste in the mouth.

They also served it with some side dishes, such as cold bean sprouts, kimchi, etc., which also tasted quite good.

Next, the two continued to stroll along the snack street, tasting various delicacies. They came to a stall selling Xi'an jujube cakes.

Xi'an jujube cake is a traditional pastry that is sweet and delicious with a soft and glutinous texture.

The two couldn't help but buy a few pieces to try, and it was indeed as good as its reputation.

Afterwards, they came to a stall selling Hulutou Pao Mo.

Hulutou Pao Mo is one of the special snacks in Xi'an, famous for its unique taste and production process.

After taking a bite, they both praised its delicious taste.

Finally, they came to a stall selling meatballs and spicy soup.

Although Hu La Tang is more famous in Henan, Xi'an's meatball Hu La Tang is also unique.

It is made of beef balls, potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, beans and other vegetables and meatballs, and has a rich and delicious flavor.

After taking a bite, they both said it was one of the best Hu La Tangs they had ever eaten.

In this way, Lu Yong and Hannah ate and stopped in the snack street and walked the entire street.

They tasted various delicacies and felt the unique charm of Xi'an's food culture.

It was not until after 10 o'clock in the evening that they packed a lot of things and returned to the hotel.

After returning to the hotel, the two bought two more cans of beer and drank while eating.

They chatted and shared their feelings and gains with each other.

Although they were very full, they felt very satisfied and happy.

"Lu, today is such a great day!" Hannah said, leaning on Lu Yong's shoulder. "We tasted so many delicious foods and felt the food culture of Xi'an. This is really an unforgettable experience!"

Lu Yong smiled and hugged Hannah tightly. "Yes, today was great. Xi'an's food is really well-deserved. Every snack has its own unique taste and charm. I look forward to continuing to explore this beautiful city tomorrow!"

The two of them just chatted, enjoying each other's company and warmth.

They knew that this trip to Xi'an would be an unforgettable experience and would become one of the precious memories in their lives. (End of this chapter)
