The next morning, the sun was shining and the breeze was not dry. Lu Yong and his girlfriend Hannah set out on a journey to the Dahe Village Ruins Museum.

This is not a popular tourist attraction, but a small, unpopular museum hidden in a corner of the city. However, Lu Yong is full of expectations for it.

"Hannah, do you know? This museum contains some treasures from the Stone Age that are not easy to find elsewhere." Lu Yong introduced to Hannah while driving.

Hannah blinked and asked curiously, "The Stone Age? Wasn't that a long, long time ago? What fun things would there be here?"

Lu Yong smiled and said mysteriously, "You'll know when you go there. It's guaranteed to be an eye-opener."

Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of the Dahe Village Ruins Museum. Although the museum's architecture was not gorgeous, it exuded an ancient atmosphere, as if it could instantly take people back to the distant Stone Age.

After buying the tickets, the two walked into the museum hand in hand. As soon as they entered the door, a huge stone tool display cabinet came into view. There were various stone tools in it, including stone axes, stone hammers, stone knives, etc., each of which exuded an ancient atmosphere.

"Wow, these stone tools look so ancient!" Hannah exclaimed. "Did people at that time use these tools to live?"

Lu Yong nodded and explained, "Yes, these stone tools were important tools for people in that era. Look at this stone axe, its blade is still very sharp. Just imagine how difficult it was for people at that time to use it to chop trees and split firewood."

The two continued walking forward while chatting. Suddenly, a strange pottery caught their attention. The pottery had a strange shape and some strange symbols were engraved on it.

"Lu Yong, look at this pottery, it's so special!" Hannah said, pointing at the pottery.

Lu Yong took a closer look and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's really special. The symbols on it might have been used by people at that time to record their lives or worship. You see, although these symbols are simple, they are full of mystery."

Hannah took out her phone, took a photo of the pottery, and said with a smile: "I want to take a photo of this strange pottery as a souvenir."

The two walked around the museum, stopping to look at each interesting exhibit and taking a few photos. Hannah had a lot of fun, posing and making faces, asking Lu Yong to take photos of her.

"Lu Yong, what do you think of this photo of mine?" Hannah held up her cell phone and showed a photo she had just taken.

Lu Yong took a look and praised with a smile: "Great photo, you look so beautiful!"

Hannah smiled proudly and said, "Of course, I'm an expert at taking pictures."

After visiting the museum, the two were already hungry. Lu Yong took Hannah's hand and said, "Let's go and have something delicious. There are more fun places waiting for us in the afternoon."

The two found a small restaurant, had a simple lunch, and then drove to their afternoon destination - Erqi Tower and Erqi Memorial Hall.

Erqi Tower is located in the center of Zhengzhou City. It is a historic building with unique shape and towering height, as if telling the world about the history and changes of Zhengzhou.

"Hannah, look at that tower, it's the Erqi Tower." Lu Yong pointed at the tower in the distance and said, "This tower is one of the landmark buildings in Zhengzhou. It has witnessed the development and prosperity of Zhengzhou."

Hannah looked up at the Erqi Tower and exclaimed, "This tower is so tall! It looks so magnificent!"

The two walked to the bottom of the tower and found that there was a fence around the tower with a warning sign "Do not climb". Lu Yong smiled and said to Hannah, "It's a pity that we can't climb up, otherwise the scenery up there would definitely be more beautiful."

Hannah also smiled and said, "It's okay, we can just take a look from below. This tower is really historic."

Then, the two came to the Erqi Memorial Hall. This is a building that matches the Erqi Tower, but unfortunately, the memorial hall is not open to the public. Lu Yong said with some regret: "It's a pity that we can't go in and take a look. But it doesn't matter, we can take some photos outside."

Hannah looked around and found that the night view of the memorial hall should be very beautiful. She suggested: "Lu Yong, let's come here to take pictures at night! It will definitely be beautiful when the lights are on at night."

Lu Yong nodded and said in agreement: "Good idea! Then let's do it again tonight and take some beautiful photos."

Since they were not allowed to enter the memorial hall, the two could only walk around. They found some interesting sculptures and inscriptions that recorded the history and significance of the February 7th Strike. While Lu Yong was looking at them, he explained this history to Hannah.

"Hannah, do you know? The February 7th Strike was an important event in the history of China's workers' movement. The workers at that time bravely stood up and waged a tenacious struggle to fight for their rights," Lu Yong said seriously.

Hannah listened with great interest and said with emotion: "These workers are so brave! They are willing to do anything to protect their rights. This spirit is really worth learning from."

The two walked around the memorial hall for a while and decided to find a place to rest. They found a cafe, ordered two cups of coffee, and sat down to chat.

"Lu Yong, what do you think of the city of Zhengzhou?" Hannah asked, taking a sip of coffee.

Lu Yong thought for a moment and said, "I think Zhengzhou is a very vibrant city. Although it is not as prosperous as some big cities, it has its own unique charm and history. Just like this Erqi Tower and Erqi Memorial Hall, they are witnesses of Zhengzhou's history."

Hannah nodded in agreement: "Yes, I also think Zhengzhou is very charming. The people here are very welcoming and the city is very clean. Besides, there are a lot of delicious food here!"

Speaking of food, Lu Yong's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, Zhengzhou's food is very famous. I'll take you to eat braised noodles tonight, and I guarantee you'll enjoy it!"

Hannah smiled and nodded, looking forward to the evening's culinary adventure.

After a short rest, the two decided to take some photos around the Erqi Pagoda. The sunlight had become much softer at this time, shining on the Erqi Pagoda, making it look particularly beautiful.

"Hannah, stand there and I'll take a picture of you." Lu Yong pointed to an open space in front of the Erqi Tower and said to Hannah.

Hannah walked over and posed beautifully. Lu Yong raised his phone and took a beautiful photo.

"Wow, this is a great photo!" Hannah said with satisfaction as she looked at the photo on her phone.

Lu Yong also smiled and said, "Of course, my photography skills are great."

The two took many photos around the Erqi Pagoda, each of which was full of joy and memories. Before they knew it, the sun had gradually set and the sky had darkened.

"Lu Yong, look, it's dark!" Hannah said, pointing to the sky.

Lu Yong nodded and said, "Let's go to the Erqi Memorial Hall to take pictures of the night view!"

The two came to the Erqi Memorial Hall and found that the hall was decorated with lights like a dream. The red light shone on the inscriptions, making them look particularly solemn and dignified.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Hannah exclaimed, "Lu Yong, take a picture for me!"

Lu Yong raised his cell phone and took photo after photo of Hannah and the Erqi Memorial Hall.

Each photo recorded this wonderful night and the sweet moments of the two. After taking the photos, the two walked hand in hand on the way home.

They chatted, laughed and played, as if the whole world was filled with happiness and joy.

On the last day of his trip to Zhengzhou, Lu Yong opened his eyes early in the morning, and his girlfriend Hannah was still sleeping sweetly beside him.

He gently pinched Hannah's nose and whispered, "Lazy cat, get up. Today we are going to Songyang Academy, which is one of the four great academies in ancient China. You will miss out if you don't go and have a look."

Hannah rubbed her eyes in a daze. When she heard that it was Songyang Academy, she immediately became alert: "Really? Then I must go and take a good look. Maybe I can still feel the scholarly atmosphere of ancient scholars there!"

The two quickly washed up, had a hearty breakfast, and drove to Songyang Academy. Along the way, Lu Yong drove the car while Hannah excitedly flipped through the introduction of Songyang Academy on her phone, and occasionally read out some interesting historical stories.

"Look, this academy has a history of more than a thousand years. It's exciting to think about it." Hannah shook her cell phone, her eyes flashing with anticipation.

Lu Yong responded with a smile: "Yes, I feel very fulfilled to be able to take you to such a culturally rich place. Maybe we can encounter some adventures there."

Soon, the two arrived at the gate of Songyang Academy. The academy is located in a quiet mountain forest. The quaint buildings are particularly quiet under the shade of green trees. The four big characters "Songyang Academy" are engraved on the two stone tablets at the gate. The font is vigorous and powerful, as if telling a thousand years of history.

"Wow, this place feels really good!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaim as she entered the door.

Lu Yong held Hannah's hand and walked along the bluestone road. On both sides were lush trees, and occasionally you could hear the crisp chirping of birds. The buildings in the academy were scattered and orderly, and each one exuded an ancient atmosphere.

"Look at that palace, it's so majestic!" Hannah said, pointing to a palace in front.

Lu Yong nodded: "That should be the main hall of the academy. Let's go in and take a look."

The two walked into the hall, where they saw many ancient books and stationery, as well as ancient desks and chairs. It seemed as if they could see ancient students studying late at night and writing furiously.

"Lu Yong, imagine, if we lived in ancient times, would we also study here?" Hannah asked softly.

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Maybe, but I don't have the perseverance of the ancient students to study hard here every day."

Hannah winked playfully: "Then I have to work hard, maybe I can get the top score!"

The two smiled at each other and continued to walk around the hall. Hannah was curious about everything and kept asking questions, while Lu Yong patiently answered them one by one.

"Look at this, this is an ancient inkstone used to grind ink." Lu Yong said, pointing to a small inkstone.

Hannah picked up the inkstone and examined it carefully: "Wow, this is so exquisite. You can't see such beautiful things nowadays."

After that, she took out her phone and took a photo of the inkstone. Lu Yong couldn't help laughing: "You are really a photography maniac. You take photos wherever you go."

Hannah stuck out her tongue and said, "Of course I have to take a picture of something this beautiful as a souvenir."

The two walked around the hall for a long time, stopping to take a closer look at every interesting exhibit. Then they came to the backyard of the academy. There was a small pond in the backyard. The water in the pond was clear and a few goldfish were swimming leisurely in the water.

"How beautiful!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaim.

Lu Yong took Hannah to sit down by the pond and enjoy the quiet time. The breeze blew by, bringing bursts of flower fragrance, making people feel relaxed and happy.

"Lu, what do you think of this trip to Zhengzhou?" Hannah asked softly.

Lu Yong thought for a moment and said seriously: "I think this trip is very meaningful. Not only did it take you to many interesting places, but it also allowed you to experience the history and culture of Zhengzhou."

Hannah nodded, with a happy smile on her face: "Yes, I also feel that this trip is very happy. Especially being with you, I feel happy wherever I go."

The two of them just sat there quietly, enjoying the tranquility and beauty.

Before I knew it, more than half of the time had passed.

"Lu Yong, it's time for us to go to the next place." Hannah looked at her watch and reminded him.

Lu Yong nodded, took Hannah's hand and stood up: "Okay, let's go to the next place. But before that, we have to take a group photo here as a souvenir."

The two found a beautiful corner, posed, and Lu Yong took out his mobile phone and took a happy photo.

In the afternoon, the two decided to find a bath center to relax.

After all, they were a little tired after playing for so many days. They chose a bath center with a good reputation and walked in.

The bath center has an elegant environment and complete facilities. The two took a comfortable bath first, and then lay on the massage bed to enjoy the professional massage service.

"Wow, it feels so good!" Hannah closed her eyes and enjoyed the masseur's technique.

Lu Yong also nodded: "Yes, I feel completely relaxed. I was really tired from playing these days, and after a massage like this, I feel alive again."

After the massage, the two sat in the rest area and drank a cup of tea and chatted. At this time, they were extremely satisfied and relaxed both physically and mentally.

"Lu, do you think we did it perfectly this time?" Hannah asked with a smile.

Lu Yong smiled and said: "It was perfect. Not only did I visit many meaningful places, but I also felt the charm and cultural heritage of Zhengzhou."

After hearing what Lu Yong said, Hannah held his hand tightly and said softly, "I think so too."

The two of them chatted like this, enjoying the tranquility and beauty.

Before I knew it, the sun had set and the sky had darkened.

"Lu, we should go back." Hannah looked out the window and reminded.

Lu Yong nodded, took Hannah's hand and stood up: "Okay, let's go back. But before that, we have to take another photo as a souvenir." (End of this chapter)
