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

The next day, the sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains and lazily fell on Lu Yong's face.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes and turned around to see his girlfriend Hannah staring at him with wide eyes and expectation.

"Brother Yong, where are we going to play today?" Hannah's voice was full of excitement and anticipation.

Lu Yong jumped out of bed, thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "By the way, Hannah, I'll take you to a place that will surely open your eyes!"

"What's so mysterious about this place?" Hannah asked curiously.

"Jiutian Cave!" Lu Yong said proudly, "It is an underground cave formed millions of years ago. The landscape inside is diverse and divided into nine layers, each with different scenery. Stalactites, stalagmites, and stone pillars are in various shapes and are spectacular!"

"Really? It sounds so interesting!" Hannah's eyes were shining, and she couldn't wait to explore this magical Jiutian Cave.

The two quickly washed up, had a hearty breakfast, and drove to Jiutian Cave. Along the way, Hannah was like a child, asking questions all the time, and Lu Yong patiently answered them one by one. The two talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was warm and joyful.

Finally, they arrived at the entrance of Jiutian Cave. A towering mountain stood before them, and at the foot of the mountain, a huge cave was looming, like a mysterious passage leading to another world.

"Wow, it's spectacular!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaimed.

Lu Yong smiled and took Hannah's hand, and they walked into the cave together. As soon as they entered the cave, a cool breath hit them, making them feel refreshed. The lights in the cave were dim, but it had a unique flavor, as if they were in a mysterious fairy tale world.

"Brother Yong, look at that!" Hannah suddenly shouted, pointing ahead.

Lu Yong looked in the direction of her finger and saw stalactites falling from the sky, like strings of crystal pearls, flashing faint light. They were in various shapes, some like dragon horns, some like ivory, and some like jade pillars, which were extremely beautiful.

"These stalactites took millions of years to form," Lu Yong explained. "Each drop of water containing calcium carbonate dripped from the top of the cave over a long period of time to form these wonderful landscapes."

"It's amazing!" Hannah exclaimed. She couldn't help but reach out to touch a stalactite, but was stopped by Lu Yong in time.

"Don't touch them. These stalactites are very fragile and may be damaged if touched," Lu Yong reminded.

Hannah stuck out her tongue and obediently withdrew her hand. The two continued to walk forward, and the scenery in the cave became more and more wonderful. They came to a spacious hall with stalagmites and stone pillars, as if they had entered a world of stone forests.

"Brother Yong, look at that stalagmite, it looks like an elephant!" Hannah shouted, pointing at a huge stalagmite in front of them.

Lu Yong took a closer look and found that the stalagmite was indeed lifelike, just like an elephant taking a leisurely stroll. He smiled and nodded: "You have a very rich imagination!"

The two continued to explore and came to the first floor of Jiutian Cave. This floor is dominated by stone forests, with stalagmites and stone pillars scattered in various shapes. They shuttled between the stone forests, as if they were in a psychedelic maze.

"Brother Yong, I'm a little scared." Hannah suddenly pulled Lu Yong's hand and said.

Lu Yong smiled and patted her shoulder: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Although it's a little dark here, it's very safe. Besides, these stone forests are so interesting, it's like playing a large treasure hunt game."

Hannah gradually relaxed after hearing what Lu Yong said. She held Lu Yong's hand tightly, and the two walked forward bravely. They came to a narrow passage that could only accommodate one person.

"Brother Yong, you go first." Hannah said politely.

Lu Yong shook his head: "No, we will live together. I will hold your hand, so you won't be afraid."

Hannah nodded gratefully, and the two held hands and carefully passed through the narrow passage. When they walked out of the passage, the view in front of them suddenly opened up and they came to a more spacious hall.

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

The stone flowers in the hall are crystal clear, as if they were carved from the finest jade. They are in various shapes, some like lotus, some like peony, and some like chrysanthemum, competing with each other in beauty.

"These stone flowers are the treasures of Jiutian Cave," Lu Yong explained. "They are formed by dripping water from the top of the cave under specific conditions. Each stone flower is unique and extremely precious."

Hannah was so fascinated by what she heard that she couldn't help but reach out and touch a stone flower. This time, Lu Yong didn't stop her because the stone flowers here were relatively solid, and Hannah just touched it lightly.

"It's so cold!" Hannah exclaimed, "It's like touching ice."

The two continued to explore and came to the second floor of Jiutian Cave. This floor is dominated by stone pillars, which rise from the ground and stand tall, as if a group of guardian gods are guarding this mysterious cave.

"Brother Yong, look at that stone pillar, it looks like a sword!" Hannah shouted, pointing at a towering stone pillar in front.

Lu Yong took a closer look and found that the stone pillar was indeed lifelike, like a sharp sword pointing straight to the sky. He smiled and nodded: "You have a good eye!"

The two continued walking forward and came to an even more mysterious place. It was shrouded in mist, as if they were in a fairyland. They walked along a winding path and saw a huge pool of water in front of them.

"Wow, the water here is so clear!" Hannah couldn't help but shout.

The water in the pool was crystal clear, like a huge mirror. Above the pool, stalactites hung down, reflecting in the water, forming a beautiful picture.

"This is the Mirror Lake of Jiutian Cave," Lu Yong explained. "The water here is very good and clear. Moreover, the stalactites here are reflected in the water, forming a natural picture scroll that is extremely beautiful."

Hannah was so fascinated by what she heard that she could not help but walk to the edge of the pond, squat down, and gently poke the water with her hands. Ripples appeared on the water surface, and the stalactites reflected in the water swayed with them.

"Brother Yong, look, it's so beautiful!" Hannah shouted excitedly.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded, he walked to Hannah, and the two of them admired this beautiful painting together. Suddenly, a breeze blew, and the stalactites above the pool made a slight sound, as if playing a melodious music for them.

The two were immersed in this beautiful fairyland and were reluctant to leave. They continued to explore the Jiutian Cave, each layer of which had different scenery and landscapes. They shuttled between the stone forest, stone flowers, and stone pillars, as if they were in a wonderful fairy tale world.

Before they knew it, they had reached the ninth floor of Jiutian Cave. This floor is the top floor of Jiutian Cave and also the most spectacular one. The space here is wide and there are a variety of rock landscapes such as stalagmites, stone pillars, and stone flowers, with vivid and lifelike shapes.

"Wow, this place is so spectacular!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaimed. Lu Yong was also deeply moved: "Yes, this place is like the nine heavens in heaven, so beautiful. It's really worth it for us to come to the Nine Heavens Cave to explore the secrets!"

The two walked hand in hand in this spectacular scene. They chatted, laughed and joked, as if forgetting the passage of time. Suddenly, Lu Yong remembered something important: "By the way, Hannah, Jiutian Cave Scenic Area also includes Jiutian Canyon, Stone Forest Oxygen Bar and other attractions. Why don't we go and have some fun?"

"Really? That's great!" Hannah shouted excitedly. She held Lu Yong's hand, and the two walked out of Jiutian Cave together and headed towards the next attraction.

They arrived at Jiutian Canyon, where the cliffs on both sides were steep and rugged. The stream in the canyon was gurgling, and the sound of water was clear and pleasant. The two walked along the canyon, enjoying the beautiful natural scenery.

"Brother Yong, look at that waterfall, it's so beautiful!" Hannah shouted, pointing to a waterfall cascading down in front of them.

Lu Yong looked in the direction of her finger and saw a waterfall, flowing straight down like a silk thread, splashing layers of water. He smiled and nodded: "Yes, the waterfall here is really beautiful. Why don't we go over and take a look?"

The two walked to the waterfall together, feeling the cool mist blowing on their faces. They closed their eyes and listened to the clear sound of water, as if they were in a natural concert hall.

Then, they came to the Stone Forest Oxygen Bar, where the trees were lush and green, and the air was filled with fresh oxygen, which refreshed people's spirits.

"Wow, the air here is so good!" Hannah couldn't help but take a deep breath and said.

Lu Yong also expressed deep emotion: "Yes, the air here is really fresh. Why don't we stay here for a while longer and enjoy this gift from nature."

The two found a piece of grass to sit down, chatting and enjoying this wonderful time.

They talked about the wonderful scenery of Jiutian Cave, the magnificent scenery of Jiutian Canyon, and the fresh air of Shilin Forest Oxygen Bar.

They laughed and played, as if they had forgotten all their worries and sorrows.

As the sun set, the two reluctantly left the Jiutian Cave Scenic Area.

They walked hand in hand on the way home, their hearts filled with happiness and satisfaction.

This exploration trip to Jiutian Cave allowed them to get to know each other better and deepened their relationship.

The next day, the early morning sunlight shone through the curtains and quietly woke up the sleeping Lu Yong.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes and turned to look at his girlfriend Hannah beside him. She was curled up in the quilt like a lazy kitten.

"Hannah, get up! We're going to a special place today." Lu Yong said softly, pinching Hannah's nose gently with his hand.

Hannah opened her eyes drowsily and muttered, "Where are you going? It's so early..."

"Go to the China Ceramics and Colored Glass Museum! It's a major tourist attraction in Zibo. It displays the development and artistic characteristics of ceramic and colored glass art. It will definitely open your eyes." Lu Yong said excitedly, as if he had already seen the dazzling exhibits in the museum.

Hannah perked up immediately after hearing this. She sat up abruptly. "Really? That's great! I've always been interested in ceramics and glass, and today I finally have the chance to get up close and personal with them!"

The two quickly washed up, had a simple breakfast, and drove to the China Ceramics and Glass Museum. Along the way, Lu Yong and Hannah chatted and shared their expectations and imaginations about ceramic and glass art.

Finally, they arrived at the entrance of the museum. A building that combines modernity and tradition came into view. The unique architectural style not only combines the simplicity and brightness of modern architecture, but also incorporates the elements of ceramic and colored glaze art, showing the unique charm of ceramic and colored glaze.

"Wow, this building is so beautiful!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaim.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded: "Yes, this museum itself is a work of art. Let's go in and take a look!"

The two walked into the museum hand in hand with great interest. As soon as they entered, they were attracted by the dazzling array of ceramic and glass products in the exhibition hall. They saw exquisite pottery, porcelain, glassware, architectural glass and other exhibits displayed in the display cabinets, shining brightly.

"Look, this pottery is so ancient!" Hannah said, pointing to an ancient piece of pottery.

Lu Yong took a closer look and nodded: "Yes, this pottery should be from ancient times. Look at its patterns and shapes, they are full of ancient atmosphere. People at that time were really clever and skillful!"

The two continued walking forward and came to a place where porcelain was displayed. They saw exquisite porcelain placed in the display cabinets, some with glazes as warm as jade, and some with lifelike patterns, which made people dazzled.

"Brother Yong, look at this blue and white porcelain vase, it's so beautiful!" Hannah shouted, pointing at a blue and white porcelain vase.

Lu Yong looked in the direction of her finger and saw that the blue and white porcelain vase had a beautiful shape, clear glaze, and delicate and vivid patterns, like a beautiful painting. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Yes, this blue and white porcelain vase is so beautiful! Look at its pattern, how delicate it is!"

Hannah nodded, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She took Lu Yong's hand and continued walking forward. Suddenly, they came to a place where glassware was displayed. Pieces of colorful and various shapes of glassware were placed in the display cabinets, like pieces of dazzling gems.

"Wow, these glassware are so beautiful!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaim.

Lu Yong was also fascinated. He pointed to a glass vase and said, "Look at this glass vase. Its colors are so bright! And its shape is also very unique, just like a work of art."

Hannah nodded, and she carefully admired the glass vase, as if attracted by its beauty. Suddenly, she discovered an interesting phenomenon: "Brother Yong, look at these glasswares, some seem to have bubbles in them!"

Lu Yong took a closer look and indeed found tiny bubbles inside some of the glassware. He smiled and explained, "This is a normal phenomenon in the glassmaking process. Because glass is melted at high temperatures, sometimes some air will mix in during the melting process, forming bubbles. However, these bubbles do not affect the beauty and value of the glass, but instead add a unique charm."

Hannah suddenly understood after listening to Lu Yong's explanation. She continued to appreciate these beautiful glasswares, her heart filled with awe and admiration for the art of ceramic glassware.

The two continued walking forward and came to a place where architectural glass was displayed.

I saw exquisite pieces of architectural glass placed in the display cabinets. Some looked like roof tiles, some like wall decorations, and some like components of doors and windows. Each one was full of artistic atmosphere.

"Brother Yong, look at these architectural colored glazes, they are so exquisite!" Hannah said, pointing at a piece of architectural colored glaze. (End of this chapter)
