At this time, Zhou Yue and Ji Sihan excitedly ran to the garden around the church. In the garden, the flowers are in full bloom, the grass is green, and the magnificent cathedral is set off against each other, forming a picturesque beauty. Zhou Yue held the camera, her eyes flashing with excitement. She kept looking for the best shooting angle, and kept muttering: "This is really suitable for taking pictures. Every angle is beautiful." She sometimes squatted down, with the blooming flowers as the foreground, and the spire of the cathedral framed in the lens, capturing the beautiful moment of the blending of flowers and architecture; sometimes she ran to the end of the path in the garden, with the full view of the church in the distance as the background, and took a series of youthful photos of Ji Sihan.
Ji Sihan was walking briskly in the garden. She stopped from time to time, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath of the air with the fragrance of flowers and history, feeling the unique tranquility and beauty; sometimes she cooperated with Zhou Yue's shooting, posing in various elegant poses. Her bright smile was like a blooming flower under the sunshine, complementing the surrounding beauty.
"Come and see, this photo is so great!" Zhou Yue took the camera and showed Liu Xiaoyan and Luo Lie the photo she had just taken. In the photo, Ji Sihan was standing in a sea of flowers, with the magnificent York Minster behind her. The spire was shining with golden light under the sunshine, and Ji Sihan's smile was so bright, as if she was part of this beautiful scenery, perfectly integrated into this picture.
"Wow, it's really beautiful!" Liu Xiaoyan exclaimed, her eyes full of envy.
"Haha, you two come and take pictures too, it's really good to take pictures here!" Zhou Yue greeted enthusiastically.
So Liu Xiaoyan and Luo Lie also joined the ranks of taking photos. They changed various poses in the garden, leaning against the ancient stone wall or standing under the blooming flowers, allowing Zhou Yue to record these beautiful moments with the camera. Each photo is like a slice of time, solidifying their joy and emotion in front of York Minster, and also freezing the shock and beauty given to them by this city.
After taking the photos, they walked into York Minster. Inside the church, it was so quiet that only their footsteps could be heard echoing in the empty hall, and the occasional whispered prayers of believers. The rows of benches were neatly arranged, as if quietly waiting for people to come. The light and shadow cast by the sun through the stained glass formed mysterious patterns on the ground, like the code of heaven, waiting for people to interpret.
Liu Xiaoyan and the other four slowed down their steps and walked slowly with awe. They strolled along the corridor of the church, admiring the murals and carvings on the walls. Those murals depict stories from the Bible, from God's creation of the world to Jesus' birth, suffering and resurrection. Each one is colorful and delicate, making people feel as if they can travel through time and space and witness those ancient religious scenes with their own eyes. The carvings are more three-dimensional and vivid, and the characters' demeanor and expressions are lifelike, as if they will walk down from the wall at any time.
"Look at this mural, which depicts the scene of Jesus at the Last Supper. You can see that the expressions of each character are so realistic that you can feel their emotions at that time." Liu Xiaoyan pointed to a mural and whispered to everyone.
"Yes, these murals and carvings are really artistic treasures. They not only show the religious beliefs of the Middle Ages, but also reflect the superb skills of the artists at that time." Luo Lie responded.
They continued to move forward and came to the choir seats of the church. The seats here are particularly beautifully carved, and each seat has exquisite patterns and decorations. Some are patterns of vines, and some are images of angels flying, which makes people sigh at the ingenuity of the craftsmen.
"Wow, these seats are so beautiful. I feel like it will be very special to sit here and sing hymns." Zhou Yue whispered.
"Haha, it's a pity that we are not members of the choir, but it's also very good to be able to appreciate such beautiful seats." Ji Sihan said with a smile.
After coming out of York Minster, they continued to stroll along the street. The shops on the street are dazzling, some sell traditional British handicrafts, such as exquisite ceramic ornaments, hand-woven scarves and hats, etc.; some are various specialty snack shops, exuding tempting aromas.
Liu Xiaoyan was attracted by a handicraft shop. She walked into the shop, which was filled with various ceramic products, wood carvings and hand-woven products. She took a fancy to a small ceramic vase, which was painted with the scenery of York, with ancient city walls, the spire of the cathedral and blooming flowers, with bright colors and delicate brushstrokes.
"This vase is so beautiful, I want to buy it." Liu Xiaoyan said to the owner.
The owner is aA kind old lady smiled and said to Liu Xiaoyan: "My dear, you have a good taste. I made it myself. I hope you like it."
Liu Xiaoyan happily paid the money and walked out of the store carefully with the vase.
Zhou Yue and Ji Sihan were attracted by a snack bar. The snack bar sells traditional Yorkshire puddings, baked pies and various fruit pies. Zhou Yue ordered a Yorkshire pudding. When the pudding was served, she looked at the golden and fluffy food in front of her curiously, not knowing where to start.
"How do you eat this?" Zhou Yue asked.
The shopkeeper smiled and explained: "Dear, you can eat it with a spoon, or eat it with some barbecue or jam. It tastes very good."
Zhou Yue followed the shopkeeper's advice and scooped a small spoonful of pudding into her mouth. Suddenly, a strong milky aroma spread in her mouth. The pudding was soft and lightly sweet, which made her praise it: "Well, it's really delicious. This Yorkshire pudding is really well-deserved."
Ji Sihan ordered a fruit pie. The fresh fruit was wrapped in a crispy crust. When you bite it, the juice of the fruit and the crispness of the crust are perfectly combined, and the taste is excellent.
After tasting the delicious food in the snack bar, they came to the York Castle Museum. This museum is located in the ruins of an ancient castle. It displays the historical changes of York from ancient times to modern times, with various cultural relics, models and pictures.
Entering the museum, they seemed to have walked into a time tunnel and witnessed the life scenes of the city of York in different historical periods. From ancient farming tools to modern industrial products, from simple dwellings to magnificent palaces, each exhibit tells a story about York.
Zhou Yue stopped at an exhibition area showing ancient costumes. She looked at the gorgeous robes, exquisite hats and beautiful jewelry, and couldn't help but sigh: "These ancient costumes are really beautiful. It would be great if I could try them on."
Ji Sihan carefully looked at a model showing York's urban planning. She said to Luo Lie: "Look at this model, you can clearly see the development and changes of York in different periods. It's really interesting."
Luo Lie nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, through these exhibits, we can have a deeper understanding of York's history and culture. This is also a great gain from traveling to York."
After leaving the York Castle Museum, they went to some other attractions in York, such as Clifford's Tower, where you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire York city; and York's botanical garden, which is planted with a variety of plants and is a good place to relax.
The group did not stay in York for too long, and they set off on their journey to Edinburgh. Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, and the city is famous for its magnificent castles and unique culture.
When the car slowly drove into the city of Edinburgh, at that moment, they seemed to have stepped into a dreamlike world, and were immediately deeply shocked by the beauty of the city.
Looking up, the ancient Edinburgh Castle stood majestically on the top of the mountain, like a king who had experienced vicissitudes of life, quietly overlooking the entire city. The walls of the castle are made of huge and heavy stones. The years have left mottled traces on them, but they have also added to its solemnity and mystery. The towers of the castle are towering into the clouds, and the spires are shining with golden light under the sun, as if telling the glorious story of the past.
On the streets, the rich Scottish style is like a gorgeous painting slowly unfolding. Unique buildings are arranged in a staggered manner on both sides of the road. Some are ancient stone houses with pointed roofs, and the walls are covered with green vines, as if whispering with time; some are colorful small buildings, and the bright colors are particularly dazzling in the sun, injecting a touch of fresh breath into this ancient city. The sound of bagpipes echoed in the air, and the ethereal and melodious melody seemed to be the soul of the city singing, sometimes gentle and low, sometimes high and passionate, attracting passers-by to stop and listen, immersed in this unique musical atmosphere.
They climbed towards Edinburgh Castle step by step along the steep mountain road. The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, but the expectation of the beautiful scenery above the castle made their steps more determined. Finally, they climbed onto the castle wall, and a beautiful picture spread out in front of them.
The sun gradually set in the west, and the originally blue sky seemed to have been overturned by the magical painter of nature, and began to change into colorful colors. At first, a faint orange hue appeared on the horizon, and that orange hue slowly spread across the sky like a soft veil.The orange color gradually deepened and merged into large patches of red. It was a hot and intense red, like a burning flame blooming in the sky. The ancient walls and towering towers of Edinburgh Castle were shrouded in the red afterglow. The originally cold stones seemed to be instantly injected with the heat of life, exuding a solemn and sacred atmosphere. Every mottled trace on the castle was like a medal left by the years, shining in the sunset, telling the glory and vicissitudes of the past. The sea in the distance showed a touching beauty under the light and shadow of the sunset. The sparkling sea seemed to be sprinkled with countless fine gold foils, flashing dazzling light with the ups and downs of the waves. The golden waves rushed to the shore one after another, hitting the rocks, making a clear and pleasant sound, as if the sea was playing a hymn for this magnificent sunset. The sea and the sky blended perfectly at the distant horizon, and the gorgeous red and gold intertwined together to form a dreamlike world, making it difficult to tell where the end of the sea is and where the edge of the sky is.
Liu Xiaoyan raised her head slightly, letting the warm afterglow sprinkle on her face, her eyes flashing with amazement and intoxication, and she sighed softly: "The sunset is so beautiful, as if the whole world is lit up, everything becomes so sacred and beautiful, I really feel like I am in a fairy tale wonderland."
Luo Lie narrowed his eyes slightly, immersed in this dreamlike atmosphere, and responded with a smile on his face: "Yes, the sunset in Edinburgh is simply the most precious gift given by nature to this city. Every light and shadow, every color, seems to be telling the endless story of this city, which makes people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves."
Zhou Yue and Ji Sihan also stopped visiting the exhibition and came to the city wall to enjoy the breathtaking beauty together. Zhou Yue excitedly raised her phone and kept pressing the shutter button, wanting to freeze this fleeting beauty forever. She said as she took pictures: "Such a beautiful scenery, I must take a few more pictures as a souvenir. Every time I see these pictures in the future, I can remember this touching moment at Edinburgh Castle." Ji Sihan stood quietly by the side, with awe and appreciation in his eyes, as if he was having a silent conversation with the sunset, feeling the unique charm and profound heritage of this city at sunset.
They were in Edinburgh Castle, either intoxicated by the beautiful scenery or immersed in the exploration of history and culture, enjoying the unique charm of this city.
