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

Leaving Turpan, a city full of exotic customs, Lu Yong and his girlfriend Hannah boarded a plane to Lanzhou, Gansu with a vision of an unknown journey in their hearts. As the plane slowly took off, the scenery outside the window gradually became blurred. The two smiled at each other, knowing that the next journey would be another unforgettable memory.

Lanzhou, a city located on the bank of the Yellow River, is famous for its long history and culture and unique natural scenery. For Lu Yong and Hannah, this is not only a new tourist destination, but also an adventure for the soul and taste buds. When the plane landed at Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport, the two walked out of the cabin and felt the dry and fresh air belonging to the northwest, and an inexplicable excitement surged in their hearts.

"We're finally in Lanzhou!" Lu Yong stretched and said to Hannah, "I heard the beef noodles here are really good. We have to go and try them right away."

Hannah smiled and nodded. The two quickly checked in. After putting their luggage in the hotel, they couldn't wait to embark on a journey to find delicious food. A street not far from the hotel was bustling with people, fragrant with aroma, and full of various special snacks. Lu Yong and Hannah followed the flow of people and came to the first store that attracted them - an antique Lanzhou beef noodle restaurant.

Walking into the store, we saw the chefs busy pulling and boiling noodles, their movements were skillful and rhythmic. The noodles seemed to have life in the chefs' hands, flying up and down, and soon became noodles of uniform thickness. Lu Yong and Hannah found a seat and sat down, ordering two bowls of the signature beef noodles.

"I heard that authentic Lanzhou beef noodles require one clear, two white, three red, four green, and five yellow." Hannah said curiously.

"That's right." Lu Yong nodded. "The first clear refers to the soup, which is made from beef and beef bones. It is clear and has a rich flavor. The second white is white radish, which is as white as snow after being sliced ​​into thin slices, adding a refreshing touch to the beef noodles. The third red refers to the chili oil, which is the soul of the beef noodles. The fourth green is coriander and garlic sprouts, which add a touch of vitality to the beef noodles. As for the fifth yellow, it is the noodles, which are handmade from yellow radish and are chewy and strong."

As they were talking, two bowls of steaming beef noodles were served on the table. The noodles were golden and attractive, the soup was clear and had a rich aroma, the beef slices were soft and delicious, and the bright red chili oil floated on the soup, making people salivate. Lu Yong and Hannah picked up their chopsticks and couldn't wait to taste it.

"Wow, these noodles are so chewy!" Lu Yong exclaimed.

"The beef is delicious, and the soup is fresh and tasty." Hannah nodded while eating.

The two of them enjoyed the meal and even drank up all the soup. At the chef's suggestion, they ordered the traditional Lanzhou snack Nianpi. This Nianpi has a thick texture and is mainly seasoned with sesame paste, which has a strong flavor. Add vinegar, mashed garlic and other seasonings and mix them evenly. The taste is simply irresistible.

"This is so delicious!" Hannah said to Lu Yong while eating.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded, and suddenly noticed that a man at the next table was eating something that looked very special. He pointed curiously and asked, "Brother, what are you eating? It looks delicious."

The eldest brother smiled and said, "This is gray beans, one of the traditional delicacies of Lanzhou. It is mainly made from hemp peas and is a porridge-like food. It is dark red in color and tastes soft, glutinous and sweet."

When Lu Yong and Hannah heard this, they immediately became interested. They asked their elder brother how to eat gray beans and decided to try it themselves. After eating, the two of them tried some other local snacks in Lanzhou on the street, such as sweet mash and three guns, and they were very addicted to each one.

According to the eldest brother's recommendation, the two found a shop specializing in gray beans. When they walked into the shop, they saw a big pot bubbling with gray beans cooking inside.

"Boss, give me two bowls of gray beans!" Lu Yong shouted.

The boss responded enthusiastically and quickly served two bowls of steaming gray beans to the two of them. Lu Yong and Hannah took a bite and were immediately attracted by the soft, glutinous and sweet taste. While eating, they talked about their food experience yesterday and marveled at the richness and diversity of Lanzhou cuisine.

After eating the gray beans, the two went to another specialty snack shop. This time, they ordered a snack called "milk, egg and fermented glutinous rice". This snack is made of milk, eggs, fermented glutinous rice and other ingredients. It tastes sweet and smooth, with a unique flavor. Lu Yong and Hannah enjoyed the meal and praised it repeatedly.

Lu Yong and Hannah seemed to have become a pair of food explorers, walking through the streets and alleys, looking for food treasures hidden in the corners. Every time they discovered a new food, they would be excited, as if they had found a new world.

Back at the hotel, Lu Yong and Hannah lay on the bed, reminiscing about today's food tour. Hannah suddenly said, "You know what? I think the most interesting thing about this trip is that I can taste food from all over the world with you and experience different cultures."

Lu Yong held Hannah's hand and said affectionately, "Yes, the meaning of travel is to experience the unknown with your loved ones and create beautiful memories together. Just like this Lanzhou beef noodles, although it is just a bowl of noodles, it has become extraordinary because of our shared experience."

The two smiled at each other, their hearts full of expectations and longings for the future. They knew that there would be more surprises and beauty waiting for them in the next trip to Lanzhou.

At dawn, the sky of Lanzhou was as blue as if washed by water. Lu Yong and Hannah got up early and happily set foot on the first stop of this trip to Lanzhou - Zhongshan Bridge. This iron bridge across the Yellow River, commonly known as the "Zhongshan Iron Bridge", is not only a landmark building in Lanzhou, but also an important symbol of China's opening up to the outside world in modern history.

"Yong, look at this bridge, it seems to tell the history of Lanzhou." Hannah pointed at Zhongshan Bridge, her eyes flashing with excitement.

Lu Yong held Hannah's hand tightly, and the two walked side by side on the bridge. The iron bridge looked even more quaint in the morning light, and the Yellow River water under the bridge flowed with an indomitable momentum. He whispered: "This bridge was built in the 33rd year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. It was designed by American engineers and built by German businessmen. It is the first permanent bridge across the Yellow River in Lanzhou, and it has witnessed the vicissitudes of Lanzhou."

After hearing this, Hannah couldn't help but sigh: "It's hard to imagine that such a bridge can span so many historical events."

The two walked on the bridge, feeling the weight of history. Lu Yong suddenly remembered something and said, "Do you know? There is a legend about this bridge. It is said that when the bridge was first built, people released thousands of pigeons on the bridge to celebrate. Those pigeons circled over the Yellow River for a long time and were reluctant to leave, as if they were also attracted by the charm of the bridge."

After hearing this, Hannah's eyes sparkled with longing: "It must be beautiful and spectacular."

Lu Yong smiled and nodded: "Yes, we can give it a try if we have a chance."

The two chatted and laughed, and unknowingly walked to the other side of the bridge. Looking back, Zhongshan Bridge looked even more majestic in the morning light. Lu Yong and Hannah smiled at each other, their hearts filled with love and expectations for this city.

In the afternoon, when the sun was shining brightly, Lu Yong and Hannah drove to the famous Baita Mountain. Baita Mountain got its name from the white pagoda on the top of the mountain from the Yuan Dynasty. The mountain is undulating and is not only a famous Buddhist mountain, but also a place full of history and cultural heritage.

"I heard that Baita Temple was first built in the Yuan Dynasty. Genghis Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, once stationed troops here when he unified the Northwest!" Lu Yong introduced the history of Baita Mountain to Hannah while driving.

After hearing this, Hannah became even more excited: "Then we must go and pray properly, maybe we can get some blessings!"

The two arrived at the foot of Baita Mountain and climbed up the winding mountain road. On both sides of the mountain road, there were green trees, birds singing and flowers blooming. Occasionally, you could hear the sound of bells coming from afar, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

"Look at these stone steps, each one seems to tell a story of history." Hannah pointed at the stone steps under her feet and said. Lu Yong smiled and said, "Yes, these stone steps have witnessed the footprints of countless people and also carried the vicissitudes of Baita Mountain."

The two walked and talked, and unknowingly arrived in front of the White Pagoda Temple. The White Pagoda Temple has a unique architectural style and magnificent momentum. The towering white pagoda is particularly eye-catching under the blue sky and white clouds, as if telling a thousand-year-old story.

"Wow, this white tower is so spectacular!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaim.

Lu Yong nodded: "Yes, this white tower is not only the symbol of Baita Mountain, but also the treasure of Lanzhou. It has witnessed the historical changes of Lanzhou and also carries people's beliefs and expectations."

The two walked into the White Pagoda Temple, where they saw the incense burning and Buddhist chanting. They knelt devoutly before the Buddha statue, praying for peace and happiness. After worshiping the Buddha, they toured around the temple, admiring the exquisite Buddhist architecture and sculptures.

"Look at this mural, it's so vivid!" Hannah said, pointing to a mural in the temple.

Lu Yong took a closer look and saw that the characters on the murals were lifelike, as if they were about to walk out of the painting. "Yes, these murals are the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients. They not only beautify the temples, but also pass on Buddhist culture."

After visiting the White Pagoda Temple, the two decided to continue to the top of the mountain. The mountain road became steeper and steeper, but their enthusiasm did not diminish at all. They supported each other and climbed to the top step by step.

"Yong, look at the beautiful scenery over there!" Hannah suddenly shouted, pointing into the distance.

Lu Yong looked in the direction Hannah pointed, and saw the mountains in the distance rolling up and down, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland. "Yes, it's really beautiful. Let's speed up and go to the top of the mountain to enjoy more beautiful scenery!"

The two quickened their pace and finally reached the top of the mountain. Standing on the top of the mountain and overlooking the entire city, they saw tall buildings lined up one after another, and the Yellow River passed through the city like a golden ribbon. Lu Yong and Hannah smiled at each other, their hearts filled with heroism and joy.

"I will climb to the top of the mountain and look down on all the other mountains." Lu Yong couldn't help but recite the ancient poem.

Hannah smiled and nodded: "Yes, standing here, it seems that the whole world is at our feet."

The two took out their mobile phones and began to take pictures of the beautiful scenery on the top of the mountain. They stood or sat, posed in various postures, and left countless precious photos. These photos not only recorded their happy times, but also witnessed their love and friendship.

During the filming, Lu Yong suddenly discovered an interesting detail: "Hannah, look at this white tower. It has different shapes from different angles!"

After hearing this, Hannah came over curiously. She carefully observed the White Tower and found that the shape of the White Tower was different from different angles. "It's really amazing! This is probably the charm of art."

Lu Yong smiled and nodded: "Yes, art is always full of infinite possibilities and surprises. Just like our lives, it is full of unknowns and expectations."

The two stayed on the top of the mountain for a long time before reluctantly going down the mountain. After returning to the city, they found a specialty restaurant and tasted authentic Lanzhou cuisine. The fragrant beef noodles, delicious lamb skewers, and refreshing cold noodles... every dish left them with an endless aftertaste.

After dinner, the two strolled through the streets of Lanzhou. Lanzhou at night has a unique flavor, with flashing neon lights and busy traffic. They walked hand in hand among the crowd, feeling the pulse and temperature of the city.

"Yong, what do you think of Lanzhou?" Hannah asked suddenly.

Lu Yong thought about it and said seriously: "Very good, a city with a story."

After hearing this, Hannah smiled sweetly: "I think so too. I hope we can go to more places together and make more memories in the future."

Lu Yong held Hannah's hand tightly: "I definitely will. As long as we are together, no matter where we go, it will be the most beautiful scenery."

The two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts filled with expectations and longing for the future.

The next morning, the sun shone through the gaps in the curtains and gently woke up Lu Yong and Hannah from their deep sleep. They opened their sleepy eyes and smiled at each other, as if they were looking forward to a new day of adventure. Today, their destination is Lanzhou's famous Wuquanshan Park, a tourist destination with a history of more than 2000 years.

Wuquan Mountain, named after the five springs of Hui, Ganlu, Juyue, Mozi and Meng, is known as the first famous mountain in Longshan. Lu Yong and Hannah walked hand in hand on the mountain trail. The morning air was particularly fresh, with a hint of the fragrance of soil and leaves. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows, adding a bit of mystery and romance to this ancient land.

"Yong, look at this spring water, it's so clear!" Hannah pointed to a spring on the side of the road, her eyes flashing with surprise.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded, and took Hannah to the spring. They leaned over, gently scooped up the spring water with their hands, and tasted it. The spring water was sweet and delicious, as if it was a gift from nature, and it instantly dispelled the fatigue of the journey.

"This is the charm of Wuquan Mountain," Lu Yong said softly, "Every drop of spring water here carries the memory of history and the gift of nature."

The two continued walking, admiring the ancient buildings and dense jungle along the way. The buildings of Wuquan Mountain are simple and elegant, blending into the surrounding environment, as if telling a thousand-year story. Deep in the jungle, with birds singing and flowers blooming, it seems like a paradise far away from the hustle and bustle.

"Yong, look, look at that mountain, it looks like a lying tiger!" Hannah suddenly shouted, pointing at a mountain in the distance.

Lu Yong looked in the direction Hannah pointed, and indeed, he saw that the mountain was shaped like a crouching tiger, vivid and lifelike.

"Yes, it's like a tiger guarding this land." He couldn't help but sigh.

As they walked and talked, they unknowingly reached the top of Wuquan Mountain. Standing on the top of the mountain and overlooking the entire Lanzhou City, the city and the mountains and rivers complement each other, forming a beautiful picture. Lu Yong and Hannah smiled at each other, their hearts filled with love and awe for this land. (End of this chapter)
