travel starts with photography

Originally, they decided to walk around Xilinhot in the afternoon, but Qin Xinlei was probably really tired and took a nap for several hours. Zhou Peng felt sorry for his wife and didn't want to go out, saying that he wanted to sleep with her.

Good man, Chen Xing also wants someone to sleep with him.

Zhou Peng, Zhou Peng, why didn’t I realize before that you are still a lovesick person?

There was no choice but for Chen Xing to go out alone to see if there was any scenery worth photographing in the city.

…………

Clean and spacious, this is the impression Xilin Gol gave to Chen Xing.

He has seen many cities like this, but since the grassland is vast and sparsely populated, it is understandable that there is such a situation. He also saw an analysis before that said that people in Inner Mongolia think that the sanitation, air quality, water quality and noise pollution in the city are poor, and Inner Mongolians do not want to live in the city.

When seeing this kind of video, Chen Xing always thinks to himself…If I had a grassland in Inner Mongolia, he would not go to live in the city.

He is not a person who likes to be lively.

It was probably time for dinner when Chen Xing took a taxi back to the hotel.

Qin Xinlei had already woken up and was watching a movie in the room with Zhou Peng, eating the roasted whole lamb she had packed back. When she saw Chen Xing, she asked:

"Is it fun outside?"

"It's OK. You haven't seen a city like this before. It's still very interesting when you see it for the first time. I also heard that there is a very lively night market here. Let's go shopping after it gets dark."

Traveling is all about strolling and eating.

As for food, they had enough staple food for today. It was not easy to digest so much meat in a roasted whole lamb. They would eat the lamb in the evening and have some snacks at the night market. They would definitely not go hungry.

I entered the room and put down the camera, then turned around and saw Qin Xinlei gnawing on a leg of lamb with her hands covered with a plastic bag.

After walking around the city for a long time, he was a little hungry and asked, "Anything else?"

Zhou Peng felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He chuckled and said, "No more, no more. I ate all this afternoon while watching videos. I saved this leg for my wife... Are you hungry? Shall we go out to eat?"

After hearing this, Qin Xinlei rolled her eyes at him and didn't want to talk anymore.

They packed a lot of food and she thought Chen Xing and Zhou Peng ate it together. Now she finally solved the case. It turned out that her foodie husband had eaten all of it, leaving only this small piece of food for her.

One hour later, Xilinhot Yuanhe Night Market.

This night market opened in June this year and covers an area of ​​more than 20,000 square meters. There are general merchandise stores, snack shops, food stalls, and more than one or two playgrounds for children. It is the liveliest place in Xilinhot at night.

As it is a newly opened night market, the stalls at Yuanhe Night Market are relatively clean. The smell of special snacks and barbecue spreads among the crowd, and the fragrant smell of fireworks makes the people strolling here seem to forget the time.

A few people first wandered around the snack and barbecue area, and after having a hearty meal, they followed the crowd to the amusement facilities.

There aren't that many amusement facilities at the night market, but there are still small trains and go-karts.

When Chen Xing arrived here, he basically just helped carry the bags. Zhou Peng and Qin Xinlei were the main players in the fun. Seeing the two men and women driving the bumper cars and laughing, the onlookers would also feel happier.

Qin Xinlei's parents are both high school teachers, and she has never had much room to play since she was a child. Not only did she have to study at school, but she also had to take extra classes under her parents' supervision when she got home. It was not until college that she was able to relax a little. It seems that Zhou Peng really understands that it is the most suitable to bring such a girl to play such a childlike game. However, the time for fun is limited. Many tourists have not had enough fun here, and the night market has notified that it will be closed soon.

Chen Xing looked at the time.

"Such a lively night market closes at 12 o'clock on time? It seems that people here don't have much nightlife."

Zhou Peng put his arm around Chen Xing's shoulder and said with a smile, "What else do you want from a nightlife? Haven't you had enough of it abroad?"

"You are prejudiced, aren't you? When I have time, I will take you abroad to see the world. Nowadays, people in foreign countries can only say that they are more open-minded, but in fact, they are not as extravagant as those in China. It's just that we like to do it but not talk about it, and the environment doesn't allow it..."

Qin Xinlei adjusted her glasses, looking indifferent, but she pricked up her ears to listen to the conversation between Chen Xing and Zhou Peng.

She had heard Zhou Peng say that he had a friend who was doing well abroad, so she started following Chen Xing, thinking that she and her husband could travel abroad if they had the chance. With Chen Xing as a friend, the travel process would be very comfortable.

However, Chen Xing and Zhou Peng's voices became quieter and quieter, and finally they both sighed, as if lamenting the decline of morals...

the next day.

They got up very early. They were quite tired when they got off the plane yesterday. They had rested enough in the afternoon and evening, so at six in the morning, the couple appeared in Chen Xing's room full of energy.

Yes, they are the ones who are full of energy.

Why were they in Chen Xing's room? Because they were the ones who knocked on the door.

Chen Xing looked at his watch, sighed, yawned, and went to wash up. It was not yet half past six when he finished, but it was already bright. Although the hotel was on a low floor, he could still hear the hustle and bustle on the street below, as if the whole city had come alive.

The opening ceremony of Nadam officially began at eight o'clock, and most tourists got up at this time.

When we went out to take the bus, the special bus line was still mostly filled with tourists, all of whom were enthusiastically discussing what they were going to see. The few locals wearing Mongolian robes became like stars, being asked all the way about the content of today's opening ceremony.

Chen Xing held the handle of the bus, carrying a heavy camera bag, and rubbed his eyes.

I did wake up, but it was really early. I hadn't gotten up past six in a long time, so my eyes were a little sore.

Zhou Peng saw it, patted his shoulder and asked, "Why, are you still asleep?"

"I'm awake now. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine in a while."

As the vehicle drove on, after more than ten minutes, the tall buildings of the city could no longer be seen. Looking forward was an endless grassland, and looking back was the outline of a city. They were getting farther and farther away from the city and closer and closer to the grassland.

About twenty minutes later, we arrived at the Nadam Folk Culture Park.

This is a very simple building, like a football field built a few years ago, with a huge area. Outside the field, there is an advertisement with red balloons, which reads "Warmly celebrate the opening of the 24th Nadam Festival."

The words written under the other balloon were different, but Chen Xing couldn't see it clearly.

Colorful flags were flying, people were surging, and a loud speaker somewhere was playing grassland songs. It felt like a grand event. (End of this chapter)
