Suddenly, Hannah seemed to remember something, patted her head and said, "Oh, Lu Yong, we haven't been to the bookstore yet! I heard that the bookstores in Hualin County are very unique, we have to go and take a look!"
When Lu Yong heard this, he also perked up: "Yeah, how could I forget about the bookstore! Let's go now!"
The two walked out of the cafe and started their book-hunting journey again. After a while, an antique bookstore came into their sight. There was a wooden plaque hanging at the door of the bookstore with four big characters "Shuxiang Mendi" written on it.
Walking into the bookstore, a light scent of books hits your nose. The bookshelves are filled with all kinds of books, some with yellowed covers, and some still brand new. Lu Yong and Hannah walk between the bookshelves, picking out the books they like.
"Lu Yong, look at this book, the cover design is so unique!" Hannah said to Lu Yong while holding a book.
Lu Yong took the book and saw that the cover was a beautiful hand-painted illustration with bright colors and smooth lines. He flipped through the pages and found the content was also very interesting. It was a book about the history of Wuhan.
"This book is good, we can buy it and take a look!" said Lu Yong.
Hannah nodded and continued to look for other good books on the bookshelf. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she found a book about photography. She picked up the book and started reading it with great interest.
"Lu Yong, look at this book, the photography in it is so beautiful!" Hannah said to Lu Yong excitedly.
Lu Yong came over to take a look. As expected, every photograph in the book looked like a work of art, with delicate composition and perfect use of light. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "This photographer is really talented. He can take such beautiful photos of ordinary scenes."
The two of them were selecting books in the bookstore, immersed in the ocean of knowledge. Time passed unnoticed, and in the blink of an eye it was evening. The setting sun shone through the windows into the bookstore, coating the entire bookstore with a layer of golden light.
Lu Yong and Hannah walked out of the bookstore contentedly, holding the books they had chosen. They looked back at the bookstore, which was full of books, and their hearts were filled with gratitude and nostalgia.
"Lu Yong, I'm so happy today!" Hannah said, holding Lu Yong's hand.
Lu Yong nodded: "Yes, Xian Hualin is a really good place. It allows us to find our own literary and artistic atmosphere. It feels like every place here is full of the beauty and surprises of life."
Hannah smiled and said, "Yes, and I also found that every day with you is full of joy and happiness."
After hearing this, Lu Yong felt warm in his heart.
"Hannah, you made me feel the beauty and colorfulness of life. No matter what the future holds, I will always be by your side, and spend every moment full of surprises and happiness with you."
On the morning when we left Wuhan, the sky was still a light blue-gray, and Lu Yong and Hannah were already ready to go.
The hustle and bustle of the airport mixed with their excitement, as if it was a prelude to this new journey.
The plane cut through the sky, carrying the two people's curiosity and expectation about the unknown, and headed straight for Nanjing, the city with a long history that has witnessed the vicissitudes of the Six Dynasties.
When they arrived in Nanjing, it was just after seven in the morning, with the sun shining brightly and the breeze not too dry. The short nap on the plane made the two people refreshed and refreshed, without any trace of fatigue from the journey. After checking in at the hotel, they couldn't wait to embark on a journey to explore Nanjing, and the first stop was the famous Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.
"Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, this is a holy place in China's modern history!" Lu Yong said to Hannah as they walked, his eyes sparkling with awe for history, "Mr. Sun Yat-sen, he was a great man who changed the destiny of China."
Hannah nodded, holding the camera tightly in her hand, ready to record it all: "Yes, it feels very meaningful to be able to come here and see it in person."
Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is located in Xuanwu District, Nanjing. From a distance, the solemn buildings are even more solemn in the morning light. Walking into the mausoleum, a heavy sense of history hits you. Lu Yong and Hannah walked slowly along the central axis. The lush trees on both sides seemed to be the guardians of history, quietly telling the past.
"Look at these steps, one step at a time, as if telling us that the road is made step by step." Lu Yong pointed to the long steps and said with some emotion in his tone.
Hannah smiled and responded: "Then let's go up step by step and feel the hardships of our ancestors."
The two climbed all the way up and finally arrived in front of the memorial hall. The tall bronze door was carved with intricate patterns, and every stroke revealed the craftsman's exquisite craftsmanship. Pushing open the bronze door, the seated statue of Mr. Sun Yat-sen suddenly appeared in front of them, and his deep eyes seemed to be able to penetrate time and space and look directly into the future.
"How shocking!" Hannah whispered, raising her camera to capture the moment.
Lu Yong stood aside, quietly looking at the statue, with infinite respect in his heart. He whispered to Hannah: "This is not just a manor building, but also a witness of history. Every time I come here, I can feel the weight of history and the greatness of our ancestors."
After leaving the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, the two went to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum without stopping. The Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, the joint burial mausoleum of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Empress Ma, is located on the southern foot of Zijing Mountain, built against the mountain, and is magnificent.
"I heard that the stone carvings on the sacred road of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum are particularly exquisite. We must take a good look at them." Lu Yong said to Hannah as they walked.
Hannah's eyes lit up: "Really? Then I have to take some good photos as a souvenir."
Walking into the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, the first thing that catches your eye is the long sacred road. On both sides of the sacred road, the stone elephant road and the stone statue road are arranged in sequence. The stone carvings are either majestic or naive, and each one is lifelike, as if telling the glory of the past.
"Look at this elephant, how lifelike it is!" Hannah said, pointing to a stone elephant, with the camera already aimed at it.
Lu Yong smiled and said, "Yes, these stone carvings are the crystallization of the wisdom of ancient craftsmen. Look at those Weng Zhong, each one holds his head high and puffs out his chest, as if he is guarding this land."
The two walked and took photos, stopping from time to time to discuss. Suddenly, the voice of a tour guide attracted their attention.
"Look everyone, this is the Hall of Worship of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum. This is where sacrificial ceremonies are held..." The tour guide's voice was clear and infectious.
Lu Yong and Hannah smiled at each other and decided to follow and listen. The tour guide talked endlessly about the history and stories behind the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, and the two listened with great interest.
"It turns out that the design of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is so sophisticated!" Hannah exclaimed, "Built on the mountain, it is not only majestic, but also full of wisdom."
Lu Yong nodded: "Yes, the architectural art of ancient China is really extensive and profound. Look at the structure of this Xian Hall, it is both rigorous and varied, it is really amazing."
After following the tour guide, the two had a deeper understanding of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum. They stood in front of the Xian Hall, looking at the scenery in the distance, their hearts filled with emotion.
"Lu Yong, do you think this trip is particularly meaningful?" Hannah suddenly turned around and said to Lu Yong.
Lu Yong smiled and said, "Of course. Not only did I see such beautiful scenery, but I also learned so much about history. I feel like every time I travel with you, I gain a lot."
Hannah felt happy after hearing this. She took Lu Yong's hand and said, "Let's travel more often in the future, see more places, and experience more cultures."
Lu Yong nodded: "Okay."
The two of them walked and talked like this, and before they knew it, they had reached the exit of Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum.
Looking back at this mausoleum full of historical charm, my heart is filled with reluctance.
"Let's go, we have to go to the next place." Lu Yong said, holding Hannah's hand.
Hannah nodded, and the two walked out of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum hand in hand.
For the next part of their trip, they decided to visit Nanjing’s Lao Mendong. They heard that there were many special snacks and handicrafts there, making it a good place to experience Nanjing’s local culture.
Lao Mendong is indeed worthy of its reputation. There are many shops on both sides of the street, selling all kinds of snacks. Lu Yong and Hannah are like two children, excitedly walking among the crowd and tasting all kinds of food.
"This sweet taro sprout is really delicious!" Hannah said with satisfaction, holding a bowl of sweet taro sprout in her hand. Lu Yong smiled and said, "Yes, Nanjing's snacks are really well-deserved."
The two of them ate and walked around, enjoying Nanjing's food and culture.
Suddenly, a handicraft shop caught their attention.
The store is filled with a variety of exquisite handicrafts, each of which reveals the craftsman's care and skills.
"Look at this porcelain vase, it's so beautiful!" Hannah said, pointing to a blue and white porcelain vase.
Lu Yong walked over and took a closer look: "Yes, the pattern and color of this porcelain vase are perfectly matched. It is really a work of art."
The two decided to buy the porcelain vase as a souvenir of their trip.
Holding the porcelain bottle, they smiled at each other, their hearts filled with satisfaction and happiness.
As the sun sets, the two walk hand in hand on the way back to the hotel.
Looking back on the day’s journey, my heart is filled with emotion and gains.
Nanjing, this city with a long history, tells stories of the past in its own unique way, and also allows them to feel the charm of culture and the joy of travel.
"Lu Yong, what do you think of this trip to Nanjing?" Hannah suddenly asked.
Lu Yong smiled and said, "Of course it was great. Not only did I see beautiful scenery, but I also learned a lot of historical knowledge."
The two walked on the streets of Nanjing under the setting sun, their shadows lengthened in the afterglow of the sunset.
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the streets of Nanjing, giving this ancient city a golden hue.
Lu Yong and Hannah began their food adventure in the snack street not far from the hotel.
This snack street is bustling with all kinds of stalls, and the aroma is so delicious that it makes people salivate.
"Lu Yong, look over there, there are so many people queuing up!" Hannah said, pointing to a stall not far away, with excitement flashing in her eyes.
Lu Yong looked in the direction of her finger and saw a long queue in front of a stall with a crowd of people.
"Come on, let's go and see what delicious food there is!" He took Hannah's hand and squeezed into the crowd.
It turned out that this stall was selling the famous salted duck.
"Give me two salted ducks!" Lu Yong said generously.
The boss skillfully cut two salted ducks, put them in a bag and handed them to them. Lu Yong took the bag and opened it impatiently, and a fragrant aroma filled his nose.
He took a bite and his mouth was immediately filled with fragrance. He praised repeatedly: "Delicious! The skin of this salted duck is so thin, the meat is so tender, and the taste is delicious!"
Hannah also took a bite: "It's just the right amount of saltiness, and not greasy at all."
The two of them ate and chatted, enjoying this rare gourmet time.
In a short while, the two salted ducks were finished by them.
"Boss, your salted duck is so delicious! Do you have any other recommendations?" Lu Yong wiped his mouth and said with lingering satisfaction.
The boss smiled and said, "Of course, our Nanjing salted duck is not the only delicious dish. You can try the duck blood vermicelli soup, it is also a must-try!"
Lu Yong and Hannah nodded immediately. The boss brought two bowls of steaming duck blood vermicelli soup, with red duck blood, tender white tofu, and crystal clear vermicelli floating in the soup, which looked very appetizing.
"Wow, this duck blood vermicelli soup looks so delicious!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaim.
Lu Yong couldn't wait to take a bite, and his mouth was immediately filled with deliciousness. He praised repeatedly: "The duck blood is so tender, the vermicelli is cooked just right, and the soup tastes so delicious! Boss, your cooking skills are really unique!"
Hannah also tasted it and squinted her eyes: "It's really delicious! The duck blood vermicelli soup tastes so delicious, I feel like I can drink a whole bowl!"
The two of them enjoyed the delicious duck blood vermicelli soup, and soon, the two bowls of duck blood vermicelli soup were also finished by them.
"Lu Yong, I feel like I've fallen in love with Nanjing's food!" Hannah said contentedly, touching her round belly.
Lu Yong smiled and said, "Me too! The food in Nanjing is so delicious. I feel like I can live here for a month and eat different food every day!"
The two smiled at each other and continued to walk in the snack street. As they walked, they were attracted by a stall selling Nanjing beef pot stickers. The pot stickers were fried golden and crispy, and the aroma was so fragrant that people couldn't help but want to try it.
"Lu Yong, look at those pot stickers, they smell so good!" Hannah said, pointing at the pot stickers.
Lu Yong nodded: "Yes, it looks delicious! Let's have a try!"
The two bought a portion of beef pot stickers and found a place to sit down and enjoy them slowly. The pot stickers were crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. They tasted great! Lu Yong and Hannah ate with gusto and praised them repeatedly.
"These beef pot stickers are so delicious! The skin is fried just right and the filling is also very delicious!" said Lu Yong.
Hannah nodded as well. "Yeah, I feel like I could eat ten of them! The taste is so intoxicating!"
After eating the beef pot stickers, the two continued to go shopping. As they walked, they were attracted by a stall selling Nanjing plum blossom cakes. The plum blossom cakes looked small and exquisite, shaped like plum blossoms, and sprinkled with some red and green silk and sesame seeds, which made people salivate.
"Lu Yong, look at that plum cake, it's so cute!" Hannah said, pointing at the plum cake.
Lu Yong smiled and said, "Yes, it looks delicious! Let's have a try!"
The two bought a piece of plum blossom cake and took a bite carefully. Suddenly, a sweet fragrance spread in their mouths. The plum blossom cake was soft, sweet and delicious. Lu Yong and Hannah were very happy when they ate it and praised it repeatedly.
"This plum cake is so delicious! It has a soft, sweet texture and a really good taste!" said Lu Yong.
"Yes, yes, it smells so good!"
After eating the plum cake, they both felt a little full.
However, when they walked to a stall selling Nanjing pig belly noodles, they couldn't help but be attracted by the aroma. (End of this chapter)
