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

Ding. Ding. Ding. The crisp sound of the alarm clock woke Hannah from her sweet dream.

Hannah rubbed her sleepy eyes and saw Lu Yong looking at her with a smile on his face.

Lu Yong said gently, "Baby, get up quickly. The weather is very good today. Let's go to Jinzhou Ancient Pagoda Park for a walk and a picnic. I heard that the scenery there is beautiful and there are many interesting attractions."

When Hannah heard this, her eyes lit up instantly, she sat up and shouted excitedly: "Yes, yes, I love picnics!"

The two quickly washed up, and Lu Yong carefully prepared food and supplies for the picnic, including delicious sandwiches, fresh fruits, sweet drinks, and some barbecue ingredients.

Hannah was helping to pack up, saying, "Lu Yong, let's go to the park today. I can't wait to feel the atmosphere there."

Lu Yong smiled and touched her head, saying, "Okay, don't worry, we'll set off now."

They drove to Jinzhou Ancient Pagoda Park with full expectations.

Along the way, Hannah looked at the scenery passing by outside the window with a happy smile on her face.

Lu Yong was driving attentively, occasionally responding to her, and their laughter filled the entire car.

Finally, they arrived at Jinzhou Ancient Pagoda Park.

As soon as she got off the car, Hannah was attracted by the fresh air and pleasant scenery of the park.

The park's gate is antique, with red doorposts and golden door nails, making it look particularly solemn.

Hannah took Lu Yong's hand and walked in impatiently, muttering: "Lu Yong, hurry up, I want to go in and take a look."

As you enter the park, the first thing that catches your eye is a lush forest.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, forming mottled light and shadows, as if it were a painting carefully painted by nature.

Hannah excitedly shuttled through the woods, reaching out to touch the tender green leaves from time to time, feeling the vitality and vigor of nature.

She turned around and said to Lu Yong: "Lu Yong, the air here is so fresh. I feel refreshed."

Lu Yong followed her with a smile and said, "Yes, baby, Guta Park is like a natural oxygen bar. We can enjoy the beauty of nature here."

Walking along the forest path, they came to an open lawn.

The lawn is covered with green grass and dotted with colorful wild flowers, like a huge green velvet carpet embroidered with exquisite patterns.

Hannah ran to the lawn, lay down, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Lu Yong, you should lie down and try it too. It feels so comfortable."

Lu Yong smiled and lay down beside her. They both looked up at the blue sky and felt the gentle breeze, as if time had stopped at this moment.

After a while, Hannah sat up and said, "Lu Yong, let's get the picnic supplies and find a good place to start the picnic."

Lu Yong nodded, and the two of them moved the picnic supplies to the lawn.

They found a big tree to serve as a parasol, spread out a picnic mat under the tree, and then placed the food and drinks on it one by one.

Hannah stared at the delicious food with her eyes wide open. She said, "Lu Yong, you prepared so much. I don't know which one to eat first."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Baby, eat slowly. We have plenty of time today."

They enjoyed the food and chatted happily.

Hannah looked at the surrounding scenery and said with emotion: "Lu Yong, the environment here is so beautiful, with trees and flowers, and such fresh air, it feels like a paradise."

Lu Yong said, "Yes, baby, the Ancient Pagoda Park not only has a good natural environment, but also has many cultural landscapes. Let's go visit them later."

After their picnic, they packed up and began their tour of the park.

First, they came to the foot of the ancient pagoda.

This ancient tower rises high into the clouds. Its body is made of blue bricks and it remains as solid as ever after years of testing.

Each layer of the ancient pagoda is carved with exquisite patterns, including Buddha statues, flowers, cloud patterns, etc., which are lifelike, as if telling a thousand-year-old story.

Hannah looked up, eyes wide open, mouth slightly open, exclaiming: "Lu Yong, this ancient tower is so magnificent! I feel so small standing in front of it. These carvings are so exquisite, how did the ancient craftsmen do it?"

Lu Yong smiled and explained to her: "Baby, this ancient tower is called Guangji Temple Tower. It is one of the landmark buildings in Jinzhou. It was built in the Liao Dynasty and has a history of thousands of years. Ancient craftsmen built this magnificent ancient tower brick by brick with their exquisite skills and superb wisdom. These carvings are also the crystallization of their wisdom."

Hannah listened attentively. She walked around the ancient tower and carefully observed every carving.

Suddenly, she found a stone tablet on the base of the ancient tower, with some vague words engraved on it.

She leaned in to take a closer look out of curiosity, but could not understand because the handwriting was blurry.

She turned to Lu Yong and said, "Lu Yong, look at this stone tablet. The words on it seem a little blurry. Can you understand what is written on it?"

Lu Yong walked forward and carefully identified the words on the stone tablet, saying, "Baby, this records some of the history and construction process of the ancient pagoda. Although some of the words are blurred, it roughly shows the important status of the ancient pagoda at that time and the difficulty of its construction."

After listening to this, Hannah became more interested in ancient history.

She looked up at the ancient tower and said, "Lu Yong, the ancient people were really amazing. They were able to build such a tall ancient tower without modern machinery. This ancient tower is like a silent old man, witnessing the changes of Jinzhou for thousands of years."

Lu Yong nodded and said, "Yes, baby, these ancient buildings are the treasures of our Chinese nation. They carry rich historical and cultural information and allow us to understand the life and wisdom of the past."

Coming down from the ancient pagoda, they arrived at Guangji Temple.

Guangji Temple is located next to the ancient pagoda, with red walls and yellow tiles, and is solemn and majestic.

Walking into the temple, the smoke of incense curls up and the sound of bells ring melodiously, giving people a feeling of tranquility and peace.

In the main hall, statues of Buddha look down upon all living beings with compassion and solemnity.

Hannah carefully observed the faces and postures of the Buddha statues and said, "Lu Yong, look at these Buddha statues. They are so finely carved. Every line is so smooth. They look like they are alive. And their expressions are so kind. People feel very peaceful when they see them."

Lu Yong said: "Baby, Buddhist art has a unique charm. It not only makes people feel the enjoyment of beauty, but also purifies the soul. These Buddha statues represent different meanings, which can comfort the believers in the process of worship."

They visited the main hall for a while and then came to the side hall of the temple.

The side hall displays some cultural relics and exhibits related to Buddhist culture, including ancient Buddhist scriptures, ritual instruments, and some daily necessities used by monks.

Hannah was very interested in these exhibits. She looked at them carefully one by one and asked the monks in the temple some questions from time to time. The monks enthusiastically introduced the origins and uses of the exhibits to them. Hannah listened with great interest and kept recording in her notebook. After visiting Guangji Temple, they continued walking along the path in the park and came to the petrified wood area.

There are many petrified woods of various shapes displayed here, some look like big trees, some look like branches, with clear surface textures, as if you can still see traces of the trees' past growth.

Hannah walked to a piece of petrified wood curiously, reached out and gently touched it, and said, "Lu Yong, this petrified wood is so magical, it feels like the moment of the tree is frozen in stone. How was this petrified wood formed?"

Lu Yong explained to her: "Baby, petrified wood is formed when trees are gradually replaced by minerals under high temperature and high pressure over a long geological period. It has witnessed the changes of the earth for billions of years and is a precious gift left to us by nature."

After hearing this, Hannah became even more in awe of the petrified wood.

She walked around the petrified wood, carefully observing every texture, and said: "Lu Yong, look at the texture on this petrified wood. It's like a natural painting. It feels like every texture hides the story of the earth. Nature is so amazing that it can create such wonderful things."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Yes, baby, the earth is like a huge treasure house, which contains countless mysteries waiting for us to explore. Today in Guta Park, we not only enjoyed the beautiful natural scenery, but also learned so much interesting knowledge. It is really a great harvest."

They visited the petrified wood area for a while and then came to the lake in the park.

The lake water is crystal clear and you can see the bottom. Occasionally, a few small boats pass by on the lake, leaving beautiful ripples.

Hannah excitedly ran to the lake, squatted down, gently touched the water with her hand, and said, "Lu Yong, the water is so cool and feels so comfortable. Let's rent a boat and go rowing on the lake."

Lu Yong nodded and said, "Okay, baby, let's go experience the feeling of rowing on the lake."

They came to the boat rental place and rented a small boat.

Lu Yong rowed the boat skillfully, and the boat slowly moved towards the center of the lake.

Hannah sat at the bow, feeling the breeze on her face and looking at the surrounding lakes and mountains. She said happily: "Lu Yong, this feels great, just like swimming in a painting. Look at the lotus flowers over there, they are so beautiful."

Lu Yong looked in the direction of her finger and saw lotus flowers blooming on the lake, pink and white, complementing each other, like a group of fairies in colorful clothes dancing.

Their boat gradually approached the lotus bushes.

Hannah couldn't help but reach out and gently touch a pink lotus petal. The petal was soft and tender, with a trace of morning dew, and sparkling with crystal light under the sunlight.

Hannah shouted excitedly: "Lu Yong, look, this lotus is so beautiful, it feels smooth to the touch, and there are dewdrops on it, just like little pearls."

Lu Yong stopped paddling, came over to take a closer look, and said, "Yes, baby, this lotus flower grows out of the mud without being stained, and washes in the water without being coquettish. It is really of high quality. Just like in our lives, we must also maintain a pure heart and not be disturbed by the temptations of the outside world."

Hannah nodded, not quite understanding, and said, "Lu Yong, you are right. But now I just want to appreciate this beautiful scenery and remember this beautiful moment in my heart."

As she spoke, she took out her cell phone and started taking pictures of the lotus flowers, capturing their beautiful postures from different angles.

Lu Yong just watched her quietly from the side.

After taking the photos, Hannah suddenly had an idea and said, "Lu Yong, let's pick a lotus leaf to use as a hat. This will be fun and can protect us from the sun."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Good idea, baby, I'll pick one for you."

As he spoke, he carefully reached out and picked a large, round lotus leaf and handed it to Hannah.

Hannah took the lotus leaf, put it on her head, and deliberately made some funny poses, which made Lu Yong laugh.

"Lu Yong, why don't you wear one too? Then we can be a lotus leaf couple."

Hannah said this and picked another lotus leaf and handed it to Lu Yong.

Lu Yong took the lotus leaf and put it on his head. The two of them looked at each other and laughed so hard that they fell over.

Before we knew it, the sun was setting and the lake was filled with golden afterglow, which was as beautiful as a dream.

Hannah leaned in Lu Yong's arms, quietly watching the beautiful sunset, and said softly: "Lu Yong, today's day in Jinzhou Ancient Pagoda Park is like a beautiful dream. We saw the magnificent ancient pagoda, visited the solemn Guangji Temple, and admired the magical petrified wood and beautiful lotus flowers. It was really satisfying."

Lu Yong gently stroked her hair and said, "Baby, I also think today is very beautiful. It feels great to travel with you in such a beautiful place, feel the charm of nature, and learn about history and culture."

As it grew darker, they rowed back to shore.

After returning the boat, they held hands and walked slowly back along the path in the park.

The street lights lit up one by one, and Hannah suddenly said, "Lu Yong, we had a picnic in the park today, saw the beautiful scenery, and rowed a boat. It felt like a very fulfilling day. I wish it could always be like this."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Baby, although time cannot stop, we can treasure today's happiness in our hearts."

The two walked out of the park, hailed a taxi and returned to the hotel.

After returning to the room, Hannah lay on the bed and said tiredly: "I played all day today. I am so tired."

Lu Yong sat by the bed, rubbed her legs, and said, "Baby, take a good rest if you are tired. Let's wash up later and go to bed early so that we can have the energy to continue exploring the beautiful scenery of Jinzhou tomorrow."

Hannah closed her eyes, still with a happy smile on her face, and said, "Okay, Lu Yong. But my mind is still full of the beautiful scenery in the park. Those ancient pagodas, Guangji Temple, petrified wood, and beautiful lotus flowers seem to be still lingering in front of my eyes."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "This shows that today's experience is too profound. You take a rest for a while. I'll get you some hot water. You'll feel much better after taking a bath."

After a while, Lu Yong prepared the hot water and asked Hannah to take a bath.

Hannah soaked in the warm tub and felt all the fatigue melt away.

She leaned on the edge of the bathtub, thinking about every detail of today's day in the park, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

After taking a bath, Hannah changed into comfortable pajamas and lay down on the bed with Lu Yong.

They leaned together and shared the most memorable moments in the park today.

Hannah said: "Lu Yong, I learned a lot when I listened to the monks explain those cultural relics in Guangji Temple. I feel that I have opened a new door to understand Buddhist culture."

Lu Yong said, "Me too, baby. And I'm also very happy to see you are so interested in those things. And in the petrified wood area, those magical petrified wood really made me feel the magic of nature."

The two of them chatted back and forth, and before they knew it, they were gradually feeling sleepy.

Hannah yawned and said, "Lu Yong, I'm so sleepy, let's go to bed."

Lu Yong kissed her forehead gently and said, "Okay, baby, good night." (End of this chapter)
