"Yong, look at that!" Hannah pointed to a small stall not far away and shouted. It was a stall selling three-stick buns. The stall owner was wrapping the buns skillfully. Each bun was plump and round, exuding an enticing aroma.

Lu Yong looked in the direction Hannah pointed, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "It's Sanding Baozi! This is a traditional snack in Yangzhou. I heard about it when I was in the United States and always wanted to try it."

The two walked to the stall and bought a three-diced bun each. The bun had a soft and crispy skin and rich fillings, with diced pork, diced chicken and bamboo shoots. One bite left a lingering fragrance in the mouth. Lu Yong and Hannah couldn't help but praise it. It tasted really good. The delicious meat filling and the crisp bamboo shoots complemented each other, and the vinegar and chili oil doubled the flavor.

"This three-diced bun is so delicious!" Hannah exclaimed as she ate. Her cheeks turned slightly red because of the delicious food, making her look even more adorable.

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Yangzhou's food is indeed well-deserved. Next, let's see what else is delicious."

The two continued to stroll along the snack street, and soon they were attracted by a stall selling silken tofu. The tofu was as thin as hair, tender and smooth, and it exuded an alluring aroma when stewed in chicken soup.

"Wow, this silken tofu looks amazing!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaim.

Lu Yong also nodded: "This is a classic test of knife skills and heat. It is not easy to cut tofu into such thin strips and keep it tender and smooth."

They each ordered a plate of silken tofu and tasted it. The silken tofu melted in their mouths, and the delicious chicken soup and the tender tofu were perfectly combined, leaving people with an endless aftertaste.

"This silken tofu is so delicious!" Lu Yong exclaimed, "It's even more delicious than I imagined."

Hannah also smiled from ear to ear: "The chefs in Yangzhou are really amazing. They can make such delicious dishes with such simple ingredients."

After eating the silken tofu, the two were still not satisfied. On the way back, they were attracted by a stall selling ox-skin candy. The ox-skin candy was crispy and delicious, sweet but not greasy, and crunchy when chewed. It is a traditional handmade candy in Yangzhou.

"This toffee looks good." Lu Yong said.

Hannah also nodded: "It would be nice to buy some to take back as snacks."

The two bought a few bags of toffee and ate them while walking.

The sweetness of the toffee spreads in the mouth, making people unable to help but eat it one bite after another.

The night is getting darker and the lanterns are starting to turn on.

Lu Yong and Hannah returned to the hotel with a lot of harvest.

Their stomachs were already full, but their love and satisfaction for food made them feel extremely happy.

"I am so satisfied today." Hannah sighed while lying on the bed, "After eating so many delicious foods, I feel that my life is complete."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "The food in Yangzhou really didn't disappoint us. We will continue to explore the beauty of this city tomorrow."

Both of them were full of anticipation for tomorrow.

They know that there are more beautiful sights and delicious foods waiting for them to discover and taste in the ancient city of Yangzhou.

And their love for Yangzhou will become one of the most precious treasures in their lives.

The early morning sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, gently waking up the sleeping Lu Yong and Hannah.

The two opened their hazy eyes and smiled at each other, as if they couldn't wait to start a new day of adventure.

Today, their destination is Ge Garden, one of the four famous gardens in Yangzhou, a classical garden famous for its stone stacking art.

"Yong, do you think the park will be as beautiful as the legend says?" Hannah asked expectantly while fixing her hair.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded: "Of course, the four-season rockery in Geyuan is unique in the world. There are bamboo shoots in spring, lake stones in summer, yellow stones in autumn, and Xuan stones in winter. Each season has a different charm. I believe you will be shocked by the beautiful scenery there."

The two quickly washed up and drove to Geyuan. Along the way, the scenery outside the car window unfolded before their eyes like a scroll, but they had only one thought in their minds - to see the true appearance of Geyuan as soon as possible.

Finally, the car stopped at the entrance of Geyuan Garden. Lu Yong and Hannah walked into this classical garden hand in hand, as if they had walked into a whole new world. The Geyuan Garden in front of them was even more beautiful than they had imagined. The four-season rockery was scattered in an orderly manner, as if it was a masterpiece of nature, ingeniously integrating the changes of the four seasons.

"Wow, it's so beautiful here!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaim.

Lu Yong held her hand tightly and said with a smile: "It is indeed beautiful here."

The two walked along the path in the garden, and the first thing that caught their eyes was the bamboo shoots in the Spring Scenic Area. The bamboo shoots were of various shapes, as if they were new life just bred by nature, full of vitality and vigor.

"Look, these bamboo shoots seem to be saying hello to us!" Hannah said with a smile. She gently touched a bamboo shoot, as if she could feel its warmth.

Lu Yong also smiled: "They seem to be welcoming us. Come, let me take a photo of you as a souvenir."

The two posed, and Lu Yong pressed the shutter button to freeze the beauty of this moment forever in the photo. Then, they continued to move forward and came to the lake rocks in the Xia Scenic Area. The lake rocks were crystal clear, like elves in the water, shining brightly under the sunlight.

"The lake rocks here are so beautiful, like pieces of gems," Hannah exclaimed.

Lu Yong nodded: "They are beautiful, but I think the most beautiful thing is to see these beautiful views with you."

The two continued to stroll in the Ge Garden, admiring the Huangshi in the autumn scenic area and the Xuanshi in the winter scenic area. The rockery in each season has its unique charm and charm, making people feel as if they are in the cycle of the four seasons.

In addition to the four-season rockery, the ancient buildings and exquisite potted plants in the garden also attracted Lu Yong and Hannah's attention. The ancient buildings were quaint and seemed to tell a thousand-year story; and the potted plants were small and exquisite, each of which was like a miniature of nature, making people feel moved.

"Yong, look at this potted plant, its shape is so unique!" Hannah said, pointing to a potted plant.

Lu Yong took a look and nodded: "This potted plant is indeed unique. Its branches and leaves are trimmed just right, like a beautiful painting."

The two of them admired the beautiful scenery in the garden while looking for quiet corners. They knew that in such a garden full of classical charm, there must be many unknown secret corners waiting for them to discover.

Finally, they found a quiet courtyard. The courtyard was shaded by green trees and filled with the fragrance of flowers, as if it was a paradise isolated from the world. The two sat on a bench in the courtyard, enjoying the tranquility and beauty.

"Yong, what do you think of this place?" Hannah asked softly.

Lu Yong smiled and said, "It's beautiful and quiet here. I think it would be great if we could live here forever."

Hannah also smiled: "Yes, it is indeed beautiful here. However, we still have more places to explore. Let's go and take a look at He Garden."

The two smiled at each other and left the courtyard. They knew that He Garden was another famous classical garden in Yangzhou, famous for its exquisite garden design and rich cultural connotations. They looked forward to discovering more beautiful scenery and stories there.

In the afternoon, Lu Yong and Hannah came to He Garden.

He Garden is also known as Jixiao Villa. The winding corridors and exquisite rockery in the garden reveal the charm of classical gardens.

"He Garden looks so exquisite!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaim.

Lu Yong nodded: "He Garden is indeed very exquisite. Its garden design skillfully integrates the classical and the modern, making people feel as if they are in a world where time and space intersect."

The two strolled along the corridor, admiring the beautiful scenery in the garden. They walked along the winding paths, climbed up the exquisite rockery, stopped in front of the ancient pavilions... Every place made them linger.

"Yong, look at this rockery." Hannah pointed to a rockery and said. Lu Yong looked at it and nodded: "This rockery is indeed very strange. Its stones are arranged in a staggered manner, as if it is the work of nature."

While admiring the beauty of the rockery, the two were looking for a perfect photo location.

In such a garden full of classical charm, every corner is a great place to take photos.

"Yong, what do you think of me wearing Hanfu?" Hannah suddenly suggested, "I think the atmosphere here is very suitable for taking photos in Hanfu."

Lu Yong's eyes lit up: "Great! It must be very cool to take photos wearing Hanfu. I'll go rent one for you."

Soon, Lu Yong rented a set of exquisite Hanfu. When Hannah put on the Hanfu, she seemed to have traveled back to ancient times. She has a graceful figure and outstanding looks, and she is even more breathtakingly beautiful in the Hanfu.

"Hannah, you look so beautiful in Hanfu!" Lu Yong couldn't help but admire.

Hannah also smiled: "Really? I also think this Hanfu suits me very well. Come on, take some pictures for me."

Lu Yong picked up the camera and began to take pictures of Hannah. He adjusted the angle and light to capture every beautiful moment of Hannah. Hannah posed in various elegant poses, as if she was really in the ancient world.

As the shutter button was pressed, beautiful photos were captured forever in the camera. Hannah's figure in Hanfu left a beautiful mark in every corner of He Garden. Her beauty also attracted the attention of passers-by, who cast their eyes of admiration and envy.

"This young lady looks so beautiful in Hanfu!" a passerby couldn't help but say.

"Yes, she looks like she walked out of a painting," another passerby echoed.

Hannah was filled with joy and pride when she heard the praises from passers-by.

The beauty of this moment is not only due to the contrast of Hanfu and gardens, but also because Lu Yong is by her side to accompany and record it.

"Yong, thank you for taking so many beautiful photos for me." Hannah said gratefully.

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Silly, as long as you are happy, I am willing to do anything. Besides, you look really beautiful in Hanfu. I really want to keep taking pictures of you like this."

As the sun set, Lu Yong and Hannah left He Garden.

On the way back, the two looked through the photos in the camera and recalled everything they had experienced that day.

Every photo records their laughter and happiness, and also bears witness to the love and tacit understanding between them.

"Yong, I think this trip to Yangzhou is really perfect." Hannah said softly.

Lu Yong nodded: "Yes, I think it's perfect too. With you by my side, every day is perfect."

Back at the hotel, Lu Yong and Hannah seemed to have brought back all the fatigue and joy.

They each opened a can of beer and sat at a small table by the window. The dim city lights outside the window added a bit of warmth to the quiet night.

The table was littered with delicacies bought from the snack street, including crispy cowhide candies, delicious three-diced steamed buns, and several Yangzhou specialty side dishes, which were fragrant and mouth-watering.

"Come on, let's toast to our trip to Yangzhou!" Lu Yong raised the beer can with a smile in his eyes.

Hannah also smiled and raised her beer can, gently touching Lu Yong's: "Cheers! And to all the good memories we have made along the way."

The two smiled at each other, then took a sip of beer, and the coolness instantly dispelled the fatigue of the journey. They began to talk about their experiences traveling together during this period of time, the cities they visited, the scenery they saw, and the food they tasted, as if a picture scroll slowly unfolded in their minds.

"I remember when we were in Suzhou, we strolled in the Humble Administrator's Garden. It was drizzling that day, and the scenery in the garden was even more hazy and charming." Hannah said, with a gleam of reminiscence in her eyes.

Lu Yong nodded: "Yes, and there is also the West Lake in Hangzhou. We rented a small boat that day and went boating on the lake. It felt like the whole world was still."

"Xi'an's ancient city wall and terracotta warriors are also amazing." Hannah continued, "especially when I stood on the city wall and watched the sunset, I seemed to feel the weight of history."

"The peony show in Luoyang is also very beautiful," Lu Yong added. "So many varieties of peonies bloom in brilliant colors, which is a feast for the eyes."

As they chatted, the topic returned to Yangzhou. They couldn't help but sigh that this ancient city of Yangzhou also has its own unique charm. Whether it is the exquisite classical gardens or the delicious food on the snack street, they all made them linger.

"Yangzhou is really beautiful." Hannah said softly, "I think we have fallen in love with this place."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Yangzhou is indeed beautiful. However, I think the most beautiful places are the places I have visited with you. Every journey is full of laughter and memories."

The two continued to chat, taste the food, and enjoy this rare tranquility and beauty.

As the alcohol gradually evaporated, the emotions of the two became more and more excited.

They began to plan tomorrow's itinerary, wanting to explore more unknown beautiful scenery and delicious food in Yangzhou.

The two became more and more excited as they talked, as if tomorrow's journey was already just around the corner.

At this moment, Lu Yong suddenly put down the beer can in his hand and looked at Hannah affectionately: "Hannah, you know what? Along the way, I found that I can't live without you anymore."

Hannah was stunned when she heard that, and then a happy smile appeared on her face: "Me too, Yong. I think being with you is the best no matter where we go."

As they talked, they involuntarily moved closer to each other.

Their eyes met, full of love and desire.

At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten everything around them, leaving only each other's existence.

Lu Yong gently held Hannah's face and hugged her affectionately.

Their mouths were pressed tightly together, as if to freeze this love in this moment forever.

The effect of alcohol made them indulge their emotions even more. They kissed each other deeply and enjoyed this happy time that belonged to them.

It was unknown how long it took before the two of them ended their passionate kiss.

They smiled at each other, with happiness shining in their eyes.

"Yong, I feel so happy." Hannah said softly.

Lu Yong held her hand tightly: "Me too, Hannah. With you by my side, every day is happy."

The two walked into the bathroom hand in hand, ready to welcome their next happy moment.

The ancient city of Yangzhou outside the window also quietly guards the happy couple in the night. (End of this chapter)
