Li Xiao said with emotion, "This trip really opened my eyes and made me love our motherland even more."

Zhang Yue was also deeply touched, "Yes, our motherland is vast and rich in resources, and there are so many places worth exploring and discovering."

Huang Xu smiled and said, "I think the biggest gain from this trip is that I can enjoy the beautiful scenery and talk about life with you."

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, their hearts filled with warmth and touching. They knew that this trip would become an unforgettable memory in their lives.

Time passed by unconsciously, the sun gradually set in the west, and the sunset glow on the horizon reflected the lotus pond, which was so beautiful that it was intoxicating.

Li Xiao stood up and said, "It's time for us to go back. There will be more beautiful scenery waiting for us to explore tomorrow."

"Yes, let's go to the Forbidden City tomorrow. I heard that the architecture and cultural relics there are very unique." Zhang Yue suggested.

"What a great idea. I've long wanted to visit the Forbidden City." Huang Xu also said excitedly.

The three of them packed up their things, reluctantly left the lotus pond, and embarked on their return journey.

As night falls and the lanterns are turned on, the night view of Beijing is intoxicatingly beautiful. Li Xiao and three people walk on the street, admiring the prosperity and beauty of the city.

"This trip is so meaningful. It not only allowed me to see the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland, but also allowed me to get to know you two good friends." Li Xiao said with emotion.

Zhang Yue and Huang Xu also felt the same way, "Yes, this trip has made our friendship deeper and made us love our motherland even more."

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, their hearts filled with longing and expectations for the future. They knew that this trip was just the beginning, and there were more wonderful stories waiting for them to write in their lives.

In this way, Li Xiao and his friends' journey to China continues, their footsteps never stop, and their stories never end.
