A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

After breakfast, everyone tidied up briefly and then gathered at the hotel entrance.

The production crew's bus was already waiting outside.

After everyone boarded the train, the photographer also carried his equipment into the carriage.

As the vehicle slowly drove away from the hotel, the information card at the bottom of the live stream screen switched from hotel introduction to the day's itinerary.

Su Fan sat in the front row, took the microphone handed to him by a staff member, and tested his voice.

After confirming that there were no problems with the sound recording, he turned around, faced the people in the carriage and the live broadcast camera, and said with a smile, "We've all eaten our fill, so let's get down to business. According to the results of everyone's previous vote, our first stop today is the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum Museum. Next, I will take you on a tour of the Terracotta Warriors."

He Xiaoxiao, sitting in the back row, immediately raised her hand and asked, "Guide Su, just so you know, is this tour free?"

Su Fan leaned back in his chair and replied seriously, "It's our first day of business, so it's free for now. We'll consider raising prices later once we've built up our reputation."

A burst of laughter immediately filled the carriage.

At this moment, a reporter who was traveling with the car came to Su Fan's side.

The other party was a reporter from Qin Province TV station named Xu Wen.

Since the first stop of this live broadcast was in Qin Province, the provincial TV station also sent a reporting team to follow up and report on the program.

Xu Wen sat down in the seat next to Su Fan, adjusted the microphone in her hand, and asked, "Professor Su, would it be convenient for me to take a few minutes of your time now for a brief interview?"

Su Fan said, "No problem, but please don't call me teacher, just call me by my name. If you call me that, I feel like I won't be able to answer the questions later."

Xu Wen was amused by him, and the somewhat formal interview atmosphere became much more relaxed.

She glanced at the live stream camera and then asked, "From the initial idea to the official start of the live stream, this program only took a very short time. Many viewers are curious about why you suddenly thought of making such a travel live stream?"

Su Fan thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it's not that sudden. Nowadays, everyone's life is quite fast-paced. Many people want to go out and travel, but they don't have the time or know where to go. So we thought, could we go and see for everyone first? The program doesn't have a fixed route or a pre-arranged outcome. We'll try our best to experience whatever the audience wants to see. If it's fun, it's fun; if it's not fun, we won't exaggerate. At least if everyone really wants to come in the future, they can avoid some detours."

Xu Wen continued, "So, this program is more like providing viewers with a realistic travel reference?"

"You can understand it this way: when we go to a place, we don't just want to see the scenery and eat something, but we also want to understand its history, culture, and way of life."

"So, you chose Xi'an as your first stop because of this?"

"On the one hand, I am from Shaanxi Province, and this is my first time doing this kind of program, so of course I want to go home first. On the other hand, Xi'an is indeed a suitable first stop. It has no shortage of attractions or stories. Many people know about the Terracotta Army, the ancient city wall, and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, but when they actually come here, they will find that Xi'an is not only about things written in history books, but also about streets, food, dialects, and the people who live here. I hope that what the audience sees through this live broadcast is not an ancient city displayed in a showcase, but a city that has come from history and is still vibrant today."

Upon hearing these words, Xu Wen's eyes lit up slightly.

The netizens who were joking around in the live stream also quieted down considerably.

After a moment, Xu Wen asked with a smile, "However, the task that netizens have given you today is not just to show everyone around; you also have to be the guide yourself. The Terracotta Warriors involve a lot of historical and archaeological knowledge. Do you feel any pressure?"

Su Fan replied casually, "There is definitely pressure. After all, there might be quite a few experts in the live broadcast room today. If I say something wrong, it will be picked out and played repeatedly."

Xu Wen then asked, "Did you prepare anything special last night?"

Su Fan shook his head: "I didn't cram at the last minute. I grew up in Qin Province and have some understanding of Qin culture. Of course, understanding doesn't mean knowing everything. If I encounter any questions I'm unsure about today, I will tell everyone clearly. I won't make things up for the sake of the show. Moreover, a truly good explanation shouldn't just be reciting information. What the audience wants to know is not just how tall a terracotta figure is or how big a pit is, but also why they appeared, what era they reflect, and why we still need to see them today."

After listening, Xu Wen smiled and said, "Now that you mention it, I'm even more looking forward to the explanation to come."

Su Fan half-jokingly reminded him, "Don't have too high expectations, lest I perform poorly and the disappointment be too great."

……

While the interview was underway, the bus continued to travel towards Lintong.

More than forty minutes later, the vehicle slowly drove into the parking area of ​​the Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum.

At this time, a large number of tourists had already gathered at the entrance of the scenic area.

Many of them came specifically after seeing Su Fan's Weibo post last night.

As soon as the production crew got out of the car, cheers erupted from the crowd.

"Su Fan!"

"Tour guide Su, please don't mess things up today!"

……

Su Fan waved to the crowd and, guided by the staff, led the production crew toward the entrance.

The photographer followed beside them, carrying his equipment.

As information cards related to the Terracotta Warriors appeared at the bottom of the live stream, the number of viewers in the live stream began to rise rapidly again.

Upon arriving at the entrance, Su Fan did not rush inside, but instead turned around to look at the crowd behind him.

He pointed to Mount Li not far away and said, "Before we go in, let's talk about a problem that is easily overlooked. Many people who come here will think that the Terracotta Army and the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor are the same place. In fact, the Terracotta Army pits we see now are only a part of the huge burial system of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor."

The crowd, who had been looking around, gradually focused their attention on Su Fan upon hearing this.

Su Fan paused briefly before continuing, "The Records of the Grand Historian, in the Annals of Qin Shi Huang, states that when Qin Shi Huang first ascended the throne, he began construction on Mount Li. This means that construction of his mausoleum began after Ying Zheng became King of Qin at the age of thirteen. After Qin unified the country, a large number of people were mobilized to continue construction. Sima Qian, in describing the underground palace, mentioned using mercury to simulate rivers, lakes, and the sea, with astronomical features above and geographical features below. As for how much of this record can be archaeologically verified, many mysteries remain unsolved to this day."
