Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

The next morning, the sunlight shone through the huge glass windows of the airport terminal onto Lu Yong and Hannah. They held hands, their faces filled with anticipation for an unknown journey.

The plane ticket was tightly held in Lu Yong's hand. It was a pass to Shenyang and also a new stop in their love journey.

"Hannah, are you ready? Shenyang is a place with profound cultural heritage and a paradise for food." Lu Yong said to Hannah with a smile, his eyes flashing with excitement.

Hannah nodded, her blonde hair shining in the sun. "Of course I'm ready, Yong. I can't wait to taste Shenyang's delicious food."

As the plane slowly took off, the outline of Tianjin gradually shrank until it became a beautiful miniature painting. A few hours later, the plane landed steadily at Shenyang Taoxian International Airport, and they set foot on this charming land.

At noon, the two arrived at the hotel they booked. The hotel was antique and revealed the unique charm of the city of Shenyang. After completing the check-in procedures, Lu Yong and Hannah decided to put their luggage in the room first, and then couldn't wait to embark on a journey to find delicious food.

"Yong, I heard that Laobian dumplings in Shenyang are particularly famous. Let's go try them first." Hannah suggested, her voice full of anticipation.

Lu Yong nodded. "Of course, I've heard of it before. Let's go and try the legendary Laobian dumplings."

The two walked out of the hotel and along a busy street, they soon came to an old street. On both sides of the old street, antique buildings were scattered in an orderly manner, and the air was filled with the tempting aroma of food. In front of a shop with a sign that read "Laobian Dumplings", the two stopped.

The restaurant was bustling with people. Lu Yong and Hannah found a seat by the window and sat down. The waiter came over enthusiastically and handed them the menu.

"What would you like to eat?" the waiter asked with a smile.

Lu Yong looked at Hannah and said, "I'll give you two servings of your signature Laobian dumplings and a bowl of mutton soup."

Soon, the steaming Laobian dumplings and mutton soup were served on the table. The dumplings had thin skin and large fillings, and were crystal clear, like a work of art. Lu Yong gently picked up a dumpling and took a bite. The delicious soup instantly overflowed in his mouth, and the taste was mellow and delicious.

"Wow, it's delicious!" Lu Yong couldn't help but exclaim.

Hannah also tasted it, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, "The dumpling skin is so soft, and the filling is so delicious. Yong, try this mutton soup."

Lu Yong picked up the mutton soup and took a sip. The soup was rich and milky white, the mutton was tender, the mutton offal was rich and varied, and with the right amount of chopped green onion, coriander and pepper, the taste was simply intoxicating. A warm feeling instantly spread throughout his body, as if his whole body and mind were warmed by this delicious mutton soup.

"This mutton soup is amazing!" Lu Yong exclaimed.

The two chatted while eating, enjoying this rare food time. After eating dumplings and mutton soup, they decided to continue exploring Shenyang's food tour.

Walking out of the dumpling shop, there is a Zhang Jiuli Roast Chicken shop not far away. There is a long queue in front of the shop, which shows how popular it is. Lu Yong and Hannah also joined the queue and waited patiently.

Finally it was their turn. Lu Yong bought a golden roast chicken from Zhang Jiuli. The roast chicken exuded an alluring aroma, with crispy skin, tender meat and rich flavor. The two found a place to sit down and began to taste this famous specialty of Shenyang.

Lu Yong tore off a piece of chicken and handed it to Hannah, "Try it, how does this roast chicken taste?"

Hannah took the chicken, took a bite, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, "It's delicious! The chicken is so tender and has such a rich aroma. Yong, try it."

Lu Yong also tasted it and was immediately impressed by the unique spice formula and traditional production process. The roast chicken has a mellow taste that is unforgettable.

"This Zhang Jiuli roast chicken really lives up to its reputation!" Lu Yong exclaimed.

The two ate and talked, enjoying this rare feast of food. Hannah suddenly smiled and said, "Yong, I think our trip to Shenyang is really worth it. Not only did we taste so many delicious foods, but we also felt the unique charm of the city of Shenyang."

Lu Yong nodded, "Yes, Shenyang is indeed a good place. Not only does it have delicious food, but it also has a profound cultural heritage. Let's go back to the hotel to rest and then go to Shenyang's snack street in the afternoon."

Hannah readily agreed, and the two returned to the hotel contentedly. After resting for a while, they decided to go to Shenyang's snack street.

The pedestrian street was bustling with people. There were a variety of shops, making it hard to take in. Lu Yong and Hannah walked hand in hand on the pedestrian street, enjoying this rare leisure time.

"Yong, look at that candied haws, they are so beautiful!" Hannah suddenly said, pointing to a candied haws stall not far away.

Lu Yong looked in the direction of Hannah's finger and saw a bunch of red candied haws that were crystal clear and very tempting. He smiled and took Hannah's hand and walked over, "Want to buy a bunch to try?"

Hannah nodded. "Of course I do. I've never eaten candied haws before."

Lu Yong bought a string of candied haws and handed it to Hannah. "Try it. How does it taste?"

Hannah took the candied haws, took a bite, and her face was immediately filled with happiness. "Wow, so sweet! This candied haws is so delicious!"

Lu Yong also tasted it, and the sweet taste spread in his mouth, making him feel happy. The two of them ate and walked around, enjoying this rare good time.

As the sky gradually darkened, Lu Yong and Hannah decided to go back to the hotel to rest. They walked hand in hand on the way back to the hotel, their hearts full of love and nostalgia for the city of Shenyang.

After returning to the hotel, the two chatted in bed. Hannah suddenly said, "Yong, I think our trip to Shenyang is really great. I am so happy to have tasted so many delicious foods!"

Lu Yong hugged Hannah's waist tightly, "Yes, I'm very happy too. Being with you, I feel happy no matter where I go."

The two smiled at each other, their hearts filled with expectations and longings for the future.

On this charming night in Shenyang, their love is quietly heating up.

The next morning, the sunlight sneaked into Lu Yong and Hannah's room through the gaps in the curtains.

Lu Yong opened his hazy eyes and looked at his girlfriend sleeping beside him, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He gently stood up, walked to the window, and opened the curtains, letting the first rays of sunlight in the morning fill the room. Hannah felt the warm light and slowly opened her eyes.

She stretched and looked at Lu Yong with a smile, "Good morning, Yong."

Lu Yong walked to the bedside, leaned over and kissed Hannah's forehead, "Good morning, my baby. We are going to the Shenyang Imperial Palace today. Are you ready?"

Hannah jumped out of bed excitedly, "Of course I'm ready! I've been looking forward to visiting the Shenyang Imperial Palace for a long time."

After washing up, they picked out a suitable couple outfit, looked at each other, and smiled with satisfaction. Then, they came to the hotel restaurant, had a simple bite, and couldn't wait to embark on the journey to the Shenyang Imperial Palace.

The Shenyang Imperial Palace, also known as the Shengjing Palace, was the imperial palace of the early Qing Dynasty. It was built in 1625 and is not only one of the only two remaining imperial palace complexes in China, but also the only imperial complex in China.

Today, the Shenyang Imperial Palace has become one of the cultural landmarks of SY City and an excellent place to explore the early history of the Qing Dynasty.

As soon as Lu Yong and Hannah entered the Shenyang Imperial Palace, they were shocked by the magnificent architecture. The red walls and yellow tiles, the golden splendor, seemed to have traveled back to that glorious era. They walked slowly along the central axis, each step filled with awe and curiosity for history.

"Yong, look at that hall, it's so magnificent!" Hannah pointed at the Da Zheng Hall in front of her, her eyes flashing with amazement.

Lu Yong nodded. "That's the Da Zheng Hall, where the emperor holds grand ceremonies. Look at the flying eaves, carved beams and painted buildings. It's truly a work of art that surpasses the work of nature."

The two walked and talked, stopping from time to time to carefully appreciate the buildings and cultural relics in front of them. They seemed to be able to hear the echoes of history, echoing in the long corridors and tall halls.

At this time, a tour guide came over and began to introduce the history and interesting stories of the Shenyang Imperial Palace to them. The tour guide's voice was charming and he told the dusty history. Lu Yong and Hannah were fascinated by what he said, nodding in agreement or showing surprised expressions from time to time.

"Do you know? There are many legends and stories in this Forbidden City." The tour guide smiled mysteriously, "For example, there was a 'dragon robe incident' in the Chongzheng Hall..."

The tour guide described the interesting incident vividly, and Lu Yong and Hannah listened with great interest. They seemed to have traveled back to that era and witnessed the occurrence of those historical events with their own eyes.

The morning passed quickly. Lu Yong and Hannah took a lot of photos in the Shenyang Imperial Palace and listened to the tour guide's introduction of many interesting historical stories. They felt that they had gained a lot, not only appreciating the magnificence of the Qing Dynasty palace, but also understanding that little-known history.

At noon, the two had a simple lunch at a restaurant near the Forbidden City, and then headed straight to their next destination - Zhang's Mansion.

Zhang's Mansion, a magnificent building with a total area of ​​3.6 square meters, was built in 1914. It was once the residence of Zhang Zuolin and his son Zhang Xueliang, also known as the Grand Marshal's Mansion or the Junior Marshal's Mansion. It is the most complete former residence of historical celebrities in Northeast China and enjoys the reputation of "the first former residence of celebrities in Northeast China".

As soon as Lu Yong and Hannah entered the Zhang Mansion, they were attracted by the strong historical atmosphere. They walked slowly along the designated route, admiring the buildings and cultural relics in the mansion. Every building, every garden, and every furnishing revealed the unique charm of that era.

"Yong, look at that small building, it's so unique!" Hannah pointed to a small building in front of her, curiosity flashing in her eyes.

Lu Yong nodded. "That's Zhang Zuolin's office building. It's said that he often handles military affairs here. Look at the architectural style. It has both Chinese elegance and Western modernity. It's really a model of the combination of Chinese and Western styles."

The two continued walking and came to Zhang Zuolin's residential area. The rooms there were decorated luxuriously and comfortably, which made people sigh at the living standards of that era. They seemed to be able to see the scene of Zhang Zuolin's family living here and feel the warmth and harmony.

"Hannah, do you know that Zhang Zuolin is a legendary figure?" Lu Yong said softly, "He started out as an ordinary farmer and eventually became the king of the Northeast. His story is full of legends and is admirable."

Hannah nodded. "Yeah, I've heard about him, too. He's quite an amazing person."

The two walked and talked, stopping from time to time to carefully appreciate the buildings and cultural relics in front of them. They seemed to be able to hear the echoes of history, reverberating in the long corridors and tall rooms.

Suddenly, the furnishings in a room attracted their attention. It was a huge desk with some study supplies and books on it. There was also a chair next to the desk, as if Zhang Zuolin had just left here to handle government affairs.

"Yong, look at that desk, it's so big!" Hannah exclaimed, "I think Zhang Zuolin must have handled many important matters here."

Lu Yong nodded. "That's right. This desk witnessed his glory and honor, and also carried his responsibility and commitment. He is a true hero and deserves our admiration."

The two continued walking and came to the back garden of Zhang's mansion. The scenery there was so beautiful that people couldn't help but linger. They strolled along the path in the garden, admiring the flowers, trees and fish in the pond.

"Hannah, look at the fish in the pond, they are so lively!" Lu Yong pointed at the fish in the pond and said with a smile.

Hannah also smiled. "Yes, they seem to be welcoming us. This is such a beautiful place, it makes people feel happy."

The two stayed in the garden for a long time before reluctantly leaving Zhang's Mansion. They felt that they had gained a lot, not only appreciating the grandeur of the former residence of the first celebrity in Northeast China, but also learning about the legendary stories of Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xueliang.

After returning to the hotel, Lu Yong and Hannah chatted on the bed, recalling today's trip with deep emotion.

"Yong, today is such a great day." Hannah said with a smile, "We not only visited the Shenyang Imperial Palace, but also visited Marshal Zhang's Mansion. I feel like we have gained a lot of knowledge and stories."

Lu Yong also smiled, "Yes, I feel very happy too. Being with you, I feel happy no matter where we go. Moreover, I have learned a lot about the history of the Qing Dynasty and the culture of Northeast China."

Hannah nodded. "That's right. I think that's what traveling is all about. Not only can you enjoy the beautiful scenery, but you can also learn about the local culture and history. It's great!"

The two smiled at each other, their hearts filled with expectations and longings for the future.

They knew that this trip to Shenyang was just a stop in their love journey.

There will be more cities and stories waiting for them to explore and appreciate in the future.

As night fell, Lu Yong and Hannah walked out of the hotel hand in hand.

They decided to go to the nearby night market to experience Shenyang's nightlife. (End of this chapter)
