Chapter 68 Visiting the Summer Palace

The two of them left Yanjing South Railway Station. Zhao Cui was very sleepy, so he said it would be better to leave his things at the hotel he had booked and take a few naps before going out to play. In addition, the appointment with Wu Di was on Sunday morning, which is equivalent to Saturday morning. There is nothing to do in the day, so you can have fun.In order to save money, the two of them booked an express hotel in Shilihe, which cost less than 200 yuan/day.Taking Metro Line 10 to Shilihe, the two of them finally found this express hotel hidden on the edge of the high-speed rail line. When they arrived, the reserved room had not been cleaned yet. Zhao Cui took the opportunity to wash his face and checked in again. I slept for a while on the sofa at the front desk.After the room was cleaned, Zhao Cui put her things in the room, put on a light sports top, shorts, sun protection clothing, and sports shoes, and was ready to go out.Ma Xiaoliang is relatively simple, wearing a normal T-shirt, jeans, sneakers, and a backpack with a camera, power bank and ID in it.

Ma Xiaoliang suggested going to the Forbidden City, while Zhao Cui wanted to go to a place with mountains and water. So the two sides studied it and both thought the Summer Palace was good. After all, the Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace is quite famous.Ma Xiaoliang decided to take the subway there. The two took Line 4 to Haidian Huangzhuang, then transferred to Line 30 and headed north, finally arriving at the Summer Palace Station.Ma Xiaoliang pulled Zhao Cui out of the Summer Palace Station. In fact, this is not the main entrance of the Summer Palace. It is still some distance away. There are rickshaws on the roadside. You can get there for 1 yuan. However, Ma Xiaoliang thought that it was only less than 2 kilometer, so it was better to walk there.The Summer Palace is very large and has many water systems. Zhao Cui was very happy to see the water. Although the weather was hot and sunny, Zhao Cui was wrapped in sun protection clothing, wearing a sun protection hat and sunglasses on her head, and seemed to be able to accept it.After a while, the two of them arrived at the ticket office of the Summer Palace, which allowed electronic payment, so Ma Xiaoliang took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code to buy [-] tickets. After showing his ID card and scanning the QR code, he entered the west gate of the Summer Palace.

Entering the Summer Palace, there was a row of palaces. Zhao Cui asked Ma Xiaoliang: "Are these all from the past?" Ma Xiaoliang nodded and said yes.Not far away, the two of them saw a bridge with a sign on it: "Suzhou Street". It is said that this was a waterfront building built by Emperor Qianlong in order to experience the Jiangnan water town in the capital, just like the Jiangnan water town.Zhao Cui is particularly interested in the following. After all, he also yearns for the Jiangnan water town, but he needs a house number of 10 yuan.Zhao Cui sighed, let's play again when we really go to Jiangnan, don't spend the 10 yuan here.Not far away is the ancient building built near the mountain. Step by step, you can climb to the highest point and have a distant view. Zhao Cui posed for many photos here, and then continued to move forward.Walking through a forest, Zhao Cui suddenly asked Ma Xiaoliang out of curiosity: "You said that the palace maids used to have affairs with the guards, could it be here?" Ma Xiaoliang thought to himself that you have watched too many costume dramas, but he still agreed: It's so quiet here. , the air is really good.Continuing forward, we saw a large lake, which turned out to be Kunming Lake.

When they came to a bridge, there were two directions. Ma Xiaoliang didn't know where to go for a moment. Zhao Cui looked at it repeatedly and said that he should go to the less crowded side.So the two of them walked in the direction with fewer people, and there appeared a dike with lake water on both sides. People walking on the dike felt like walking in the lake. From time to time, water birds flew by, and even a duck appeared, walking slowly. Walking on the water in the lake, Zhao Cui watched on a whim and chased the duck for a long distance. He couldn't help but stop until the duck disappeared into a lotus leaf.

A pavilion appeared in front of it, with the words "water and sky are one color" written on it. However, the ancient habit was to write from right to left. Zhao Cui looked at it for a long time and said seriously: "water is one color and sky is one color. What the hell is this place? It's so erotic." ." Ma Xiaoliang couldn't help but laugh softly next to him. Zhao Cui suddenly realized that he might have read it wrongly, but refused to admit it, saying that the ancients had written it wrongly, and asked Ma Xiaoliang if he was right.Ma Xiaoliang said in her heart that she was wrong, but she was very honest: You are right!After walking past the pavilion, there was a shallow beach. Zhao Cui took off her shoes and sat by the lake, stepping on the water with her feet, feeling very happy.Ma Xiaoliang looked at the Buddhist Incense Pavilion opposite and felt that they might have to go around in a big circle.But there is a pier nearby where you can take a boat!You should know that boating on Kunming Lake is a pleasure. Ma Xiaoliang suggested taking a boat, and Zhao Cui said yes, but it would be better to take a pedal boat instead of a big boat.A pedal boat is a small boat that travels by pedaling in Kunming Lake. It can accommodate four people, but it was just the two of them, so they chartered a boat.At first, the two of them pedaled together, but it was easy to pedal in the wrong direction. Later, Zhao Cui got tired of pedaling, so she sat on the bow of the boat and teased the lake water with her hands, playing with the small fish in the water.Kunming Lake is very big, and big boats are rowing by from time to time. The waves caused by the waves make the boat drift in the waves. Zhao Cui screamed in fright, and Ma Xiaoliang was completely speechless. The waves will never capsize the boat, but you are jumping around like this. If it doesn't work, the boat will overturn. We don't have life jackets, and I can't swim.Unexpectedly, after Ma Xiaoliang finished speaking, Zhao Cui smiled and said: "It's okay, I can, and I will fish it back for you then!" After paddling the famous Seventeen-hole Bridge, Zhao Cui found it very interesting, paddling back and forth in the bridge holes. I wanted to cross all the bridges and finally came to a lotus leaf. It was the end. It took about 2 hours.After landing on the shore, Ma Xiaoliang felt that the entire ground was shaking, and Zhao Cui wanted to vomit.There was nothing to do next. After seeing the corridor, they needed to pay for tickets to Foxiang Pavilion, so the two of them came out of the main entrance of the Summer Palace. Zhao Cui and Ma Xiaoliang took a photo in front of the archway, and then waited for the bus on the roadside. Car, next stop, Xiangshan!
