Chapter 20

In the hustle and bustle of the bustle of the city, Li Xiao, Zhang Yuedong and Lin Yifei sat around Li Xiao's slightly messy but full of lifestyle living room. The sun shines through the windows on the coffee table filled with travel magazines and maps.

"I think we have to plan this time, and we can't go to the place like last time, and we can't go blind when we get to the place." Li Xiao said while flipping through the map in his hand. He was slender and wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and his eyes were filled with expectations for an unknown journey.

Zhang Yuedong leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said indifferently: "What are you afraid of? You can adapt to the situation at that time. Besides, traveling is just about doing whatever you want." He has a generous personality, with short neat hair, and a mouthful of white teeth when he smiles.

Lin Yifei was carefully sorting out the luggage list. When he heard Zhang Yuedong's words, he raised his head and retorted: "That's not possible. You can have a plan to have fun. You forgot that last time we were at the beach, we almost couldn't even find the place we lived." Lin Yifei was not tall, but he was meticulous and could always consider various details.

On Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, they not only tasted the food and enjoyed the wonderful performances, but also bought many souvenirs with local characteristics. The itinerary of this day gave them a deeper understanding and love for the city of Xiamen. When night fell again, they returned to the hotel with a lot of harvest and joy, looking forward to the next stop.

The three of them discussed it all the time, but finally decided to make a general itinerary first. They planned to start from BJ and go south all the way to appreciate the customs and customs of different cities.

A few days before departure, Li Xiao was busy booking hotels in various cities online, and carefully studied the opening hours and ticket prices of each attraction. Zhang Yuedong was responsible for purchasing some essential items for travel, such as sunscreen, sunglasses, backpacks, etc. Lin Yifei polished his photography equipment to a shiny one, and prepared sufficient memory cards, intending to use the lens to record every exciting moment of this trip.

Finally, on a sunny morning, the three of them stood on the BJ's high-speed rail platform with their luggage on their backs. The breeze gently blew by, with a hint of expectation for an unknown journey.

"Brothers, our trip has begun!" Li Xiao shouted excitedly.

"Let's go!" Zhang Yuedong and Lin Yifei also cheered.

As the train slowly starts, the scenery outside the window gradually retreats, and their trip officially begins. In the days to come, they will travel through ancient cities, stroll in the quiet water towns, climb majestic mountains, taste the food from all over the world, and experience different folk cultures. Each city will be a new starting point, and every experience will become a precious memory in their lives.

The train slowly drove into Chengdu East Station. Li Xiao, Zhang Yuedong and Lin Yifei couldn't wait to stand up, packed their luggage, and walked out of the car with the flow of people. Before they left the station, they felt the unique enthusiasm and vitality of the city of Chengdu. The station was coming and going, but it was orderly. People had leisurely smiles on their faces and spoke authentic Sichuan dialect, making them feel as if they were in a world full of fireworks.

"We're finally here in Chengdu!" Zhang Yuedong shouted excitedly, attracting the attention of the people around him.

Li Xiao smiled and patted his shoulder: "Sound down, don't scare others."

Lin Yifei took a deep breath and said, "The air is filled with the smell of delicious food. I can't wait to try the delicious food in Chengdu."

After leaving the station, they took a taxi to the booked hotel. Along the way, the scenery outside the windows changed constantly, and the tall buildings and ancient streets intertwined each other, showing the unique charm of the city of Chengdu. The teahouses on the street were filled with people drinking tea, chatting, and playing mahjong. Their leisurely and comfortable appearance made Li Xiao and the other envious.

"Chengdu people really know how to enjoy life." Li Xiao sighed.

"Yes, no wonder Chengdu is said to be a city that I don't want to go after I come." Lin Yifei agreed.

After arriving at the hotel, they took a short rest and couldn't wait to go out to experience the night in Chengdu. They came to Chunxi Road, which was brightly lit and lively. The mall was crowded with people, and there were a wide range of fashion brands. Street artists were performing wonderful programs, attracting many passers-by to stop and watch.

"This Chunxi Road is really lively, not worse than BJ's Wangfujing at all." Zhang Yuedong said while looking at the surrounding scene.

"That's right, Chengdu is the economic center of the southwest region, and its prosperity is naturally self-evident." Li Xiao explained.

After walking on Chunxi Road for a while, they arrived at a hot pot restaurant. As soon as they entered the door, the rich aroma of hot pot came to their noses, making their saliva almost flow out. The store was full of diners, and everyone was chatting while eating hot pot, and the atmosphere was very warm.

"If you don't eat hot pot when you come to Chengdu, it's a waste of time." Lin Yifei said, and ordered a classic spicy hot pot.

After a while, the hot pot came up and saw the red soup in the pot rolling, and the seasonings such as peppers and peppers churned up and down in the pot, exuding an attractive aroma. They put various ingredients into the pot, waiting for the deliciousness to arrive.

"Wow, this taste is so authentic!" Zhang Yuedong picked up a piece of cooked beef and put it in his mouth. His face was suddenly red due to spicy food, but he was so happy.

Li Xiao and Lin Yifei also tasted the hot pot. Although they were so spicy that they kept drinking water, they ate it with relish. The first hot pot in Chengdu made them feel the hot and generous of the city.

Early the next morning, Li Xiao and the other two arrived at the Wuhou Temple. The Wuhou Temple is located in Wuhou District, CD City. It is the only temple for the monarch and ministers to worship together in China, and it is also the most famous memorial place for Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and the heroes of Shu Han.

As soon as they walked to the gate of Wuhou Temple, they were attracted by the ancient buildings in front of them. A plaque "Han Zhaolie Temple" hung high on the gate, solemn and solemn. When they walked into the gate, a spacious shrine came into view. The shrine was covered with ancient cypresses and lush green on both sides, as if telling the vicissitudes of history.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I didn't expect that the Wuhou Temple is so imposing, it is worthy of being a place to commemorate Zhuge Liang." Lin Yifei sighed.

"Yes, Zhuge Liang is a symbol of wisdom and loyalty. His story has been passed down through the ages and is deeply respected by people." Li Xiao said.

They walked along the gods and came to Zhaolie Hall. The statue of Liu Bei was enshrined in Zhaolie Hall. He had a majestic expression and deep eyes, as if he was still thinking about the great cause of restoring the Han Dynasty. On both sides of Liu Bei's statue were statues of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, respectively. They were majestic and extraordinary.

"Liu Bei's ability to rise in troubled times and establish the Shu Han regime is inseparable from the support of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other brothers." Zhang Yuedong looked at the statue and said with emotion.

"That's right, they have been in a feud in Taoyuan and share life and death. This friendship is touching." Li Xiao continued.

After leaving Zhaolie Hall, they came to the Wuhou Temple. The statue of Zhuge Liang in the Wuhou Temple was elegant and elegant, showing the style of a wise man. Behind the statue of Zhuge Liang is a huge stone carving "The Memorial to the Emperor". The text is strong and powerful, full of Zhuge Liang's loyalty to Shu Han and his ardent expectations for the later emperor.

"The Memorial to the Emperor of the Army" is truly a wonderful article throughout the ages. Zhuge Liang's loyalty and wisdom are fully reflected in this article." Lin Yifei exclaimed while looking at the stone carvings.

"Yes, 'Do your best, and you will die until you die', Zhuge Liang devoted his life to realizing his ideals, and this spirit is worth learning from." Li Xiao said.

They continued to visit the Wuhou Temple, enjoying the exquisite carvings and paintings of ancient buildings, and feeling the strong cultural atmosphere of the Three Kingdoms. The murals of the Three Kingdoms story on the wall vividly depict the era of golden swords and iron horses and heroes scattering the world. From the battle of Red Cliffs to Zhuge Liang's empty city plan, to Guan Yu's passing of five passes and killing six generals, the pictures seem to bring them back to that magnificent historical scene.

"This visit to the Wuhou Temple gave me a deeper understanding of the history of the Three Kingdoms, and also made me admire heroes such as Zhuge Liang even more." Zhang Yuedong said.

"Yes, the history of the Three Kingdoms is a very wonderful section in Chinese history. It contains rich wisdom and philosophy, which is worth our study and study." Li Xiao agreed.

After coming out of Wuhou Temple, Jinli Ancient Street is not far away. Jinli Ancient Street is one of the oldest and most commercial streets in the history of Western Shu. It was famous all over the country as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties and the Three Kingdoms periods. It is quaint and has many shops on both sides of the bluestone road, with a wide range of special snacks and handicrafts.

"Wow, this is simply a paradise for foodies!" As soon as Zhang Yuedong walked into Jinli Ancient Street, he was attracted by the food in front of him and his eyes were straightened.

"Don't worry, let's eat it slowly and taste all the delicious food here." Li Xiao said with a smile.

They first came to a stall selling rabbit heads. They saw that there were tempting rabbit heads placed on the stalls, which made people salivate.

"You must try the rabbit head when you come to Chengdu. This is a special food in Chengdu." Li Xiao said, then bought a few rabbit heads and distributed them to everyone.

Zhang Yuedong carefully picked up a rabbit head and looked at the dense bones on it, feeling a little at a loss. "How to eat this?" he asked.

"I'll teach you." Li Xiao said, then picked up a rabbit head and demonstrated. "First start with the meat on the cheek, then eat the meat in the head, and finally bite the bones into pieces and suck the bone marrow inside."

Under Li Xiao's guidance, Zhang Yuedong finally learned to eat rabbit heads. He took a bite of the rabbit head and was immediately conquered by the spicy and fragrant taste. "It's so delicious, the taste of this rabbit head is absolutely amazing!" He praised while eating.

Then, they tasted foods such as Long Zhuozhaoshou, Zhong Dumplings, and Sad Jelly. Each of them has a unique flavor that makes them eat with relish.

"The soup of Long Zhuozhaoshou is delicious, the skin of Long Zhuozhaoshou is thin and the filling is big, and the taste is great." Lin Yifei said while eating Long Zhuozhaoshou.

"There are also these Zhongshui Dumplings, which are paired with special seasonings, which are sweet, spicy and delicious, with a unique flavor." Li Xiao also praised Zhongshui Dumplings.

While tasting the food, they also appreciated the production process of traditional handicrafts such as clay-knitting and sugar painting. These handicrafts are exquisite, making people sigh at the superb skills of folk artists.

"These handicrafts are so beautiful, each of them contains a strong cultural atmosphere." Zhang Yuedong looked at the sugar painting in his hand and couldn't let it go.

"Yes, these traditional handicrafts are treasures of Chinese traditional culture, and we should protect and inherit them well." Lin Yifei said.

They have been shopping in Jinli Ancient Street for a long time and have a full stomach. Although they have tasted a lot of delicious food, they still feel unsatisfied.

"Next time I come to Chengdu, I will come to Jinli Ancient Street and taste all the food I didn't eat here." Zhang Yuedong patted his stomach and said with a smile.

As night falls, lights are on. Li Xiao and the other two come to a Sichuan opera teahouse to watch Sichuan opera performances. Sichuan opera is a traditional opera genre in Sichuan, and is famous for its unique singing style, performance form and unique skills.

They walked into the teahouse and were filled with audiences. On the stage, the actors were performing wonderful performances. The melodious singing style, beautiful figures, and exquisite makeup made them feel as if they were traveling through time and space and returning to ancient times.

"The singing style of Sichuan Opera is really unique and sounds full of charm." Lin Yifei said while listening to the singing style.

"Yes, the singing style of Sichuan opera combines five types of vocal styles: Kunqu opera, Gaotu, Huqin, play opera, and lamp tune, each with its own characteristics." Li Xiao explained.

When the performance reached its climax, the actors began to perform unique skills such as changing faces and spitting fire. The actors quickly changed their faces on the stage, and the faces switched in an instant, dazzling. Then, the actors performed spitting fire again, and their mouths spewed out of their flames, and the scene was very shocking.

"This face change and fire-breathing are so amazing. How did the actors do it?" Zhang Yuedong was stunned and couldn't help but exclaim.

"This is a unique skill of Sichuan opera. Only after a long period of hard training can the actors master these skills." Li Xiao said.

After watching the Sichuan Opera performance, they gained a deeper understanding of Sichuan Opera culture. Sichuan Opera is not only an art form, but also an important carrier of Sichuan's historical and cultural heritage.

"This time I watched the Sichuan Opera performance, I felt the unique charm of Sichuan Opera. In the future, I will learn more about Sichuan Opera culture." Lin Yifei said.

"That's right, Sichuan Opera culture is profound and profound, and it is worth learning and inheriting it." Li Xiao agreed.

On the last day in Chengdu, Li Xiao and the other two decided to buy some specialties and take them back to give them to their relatives and friends. They came to a specialty store, which was filled with various specialties, which was dazzling.

"There are so many specialties in Chengdu. What should we buy?" Zhang Yuedong was a little confused when he looked at the dazzling array of specialties.

"I think Shu brocade is good. It is a traditional handicraft from Sichuan. It has exquisite patterns and bright colors, and is very commemorative." Li Xiao picked up a Shu brocade and admired it carefully.
