Chapter 27 Touring the Ancient Capital

The annual rings of history have never stopped, but it seems that Xi'an, the ancient capital, is particularly preferred.According to statistics, it was the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties. No matter how many dynasties there are, the ancient capital has indeed left us a rich historical heritage.

In the drizzle, I walked hand in hand with him on the streets of Xi'an. The romance is beyond words.The first stop we arrived at was the Daming Palace Ruins Park, and it was no longer raining when we got there.

How many people fell in love with that era with the "Daming Palace Ci" back then.A palace city has witnessed the ups and downs of a dynasty, and I don’t know how many helpless marriages and love affairs it has witnessed, and it has also witnessed many true loves.Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian, Tang Minghuang and Yang Guifei may really come together because of love.Whether history is right or wrong, we cannot comment, what we know is only some past events!

In fact, the Daming Palace Ruins Park is not a fun place. My brother regretted it at the first sight.

He sighed greatly: "Hey, this is the ruins of the Daming Palace?"

"Isn't that written?"

"I'm blind, how can I not see. I mean, what's so interesting about it."

"Indeed, there is nothing to see here, it's just the foundation of some city walls. Anyway, it doesn't cost money to come in, so you have to come in and have a look."

"What's so interesting about this, I don't understand."

"Yeah, how can we understand it? Even archaeologists may not be able to understand it. It's just to protect historical relics. It's only useful to some historians, archaeologists and researchers in related fields of Tang history. That's all."

"It's useless to you?"

"It's useless, I don't do Tang history, I just want to see it. Anyway, there is nothing to do, let's just walk here. Think about it, maybe the emperor of the Tang Dynasty walked along the road you walked what?"

"You can rest assured that none of them have walked by. Those have long since ceased to exist. We have walked on the foundation under their feet."

"Can you be more romantic?"

"You wave, if you wave, I will be romantic."

"I won't."

He smirked and said, "You don't know? You don't know how to mess around. Why did you wet your pants on the train yesterday." After speaking, he ran forward.

I chased after him, "Zhang Longtao, stop for me, stop for me." I thought in my heart that I would never be able to cure you, and I had an idea in my mind.I screamed "Ah!" Sure enough, as I expected, he ran back quickly when he saw me squatting on the ground.

"What's wrong? Where did you fall? Let me see."

"I sprained my ankle."

"Is it serious?" He hugged me and walked back, "I'll take you to the doctor."

"Let go of me, I can go by myself."

"What can I walk? If it gets serious, I will become a little lame."

"Don't run away, put me on the chair over there and see how I fall."

"Yes, yes, I am going crazy." He put me on the chair, and was about to squat down to take off my shoes.The man in front of me is so kind to me, what else can I not be satisfied with in my life. "Brother, you are so kind to me." He smiled silly at me.Before he took off his shoes, I hurried away.

He only realized now that I lied to him, and caring would cause confusion. He really loves me. "Don't run away, you will be sweating in a while." I stood there and waited for him.

My brother took out a tissue and wiped my sweat for me, "He said you don't know how to wash your hands. Look, you've already sweated and learned to lie." I also took a tissue and wiped his sweat.

"Brother, it's my fault, stop making trouble. There are not many people today, let's go shopping."

We stayed here until dark and then stayed in a nearby hotel which was ok for the price.Even the first stop is over.

There are many tourist attractions in Xi'an. According to our itinerary and funds, it is impossible to go all the way, so we can only choose some important scenic spots for sightseeing.But most of these attractions are far from the city center, so we chose a day trip tour.

The scenic spots in the city we have visited include Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Shaanxi Provincial Museum, Forest of Steles, etc.What is worth mentioning here is the ancient city wall of Xi'an, which feels like the worst place. We wouldn't go up if it wasn't for half-price student tickets.

"Brother, are you sure we want to climb the city wall?"

"Of course, since you're here, you must go up for a walk. Don't care how much it costs, I'll earn it for you in the future."

"See if you can, let's go." After I got on the city wall, I regretted it. To be honest, there is nothing to see. If I use another expression, I can't understand it.It is said that the ancient city wall was demolished and rebuilt after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

My brother saw my unhappy expression. "Baby, why are you unhappy?"

"I walked all day yesterday, but today I have to go up the city wall."

"Isn't traveling just walking? Don't you want to be the kind of person who's going to sleep in the car, pee in the car, and take pictures at scenic spots?""

"But there must be something worth seeing. What do you think you can see on the city wall?"

"Look at people, look at buildings. You look forward, and I see something you like."

"what?"

"look by youself."

"Brother, let's rent a tandem bicycle, but I have to sit in the front."

"I listen to you."

We rode a tandem bicycle and rode leisurely on the ancient city wall, and my mood improved instantly.The air is fresh after the rain, the sun has not yet come out, and the breeze blows, bringing waves of coolness.Very comfortable.

My brother smiled and said, "You don't regret it now, do you?"

"I don't regret it, it's so cool!" He hugged my waist.

"I never thought I would be treated like this."

"Why didn't you think of it? You usually take me with you, and you didn't say you wanted me to take you with you. I'll take you to the head office after I go back to school, right?"

"you sure?"

"One word from a gentleman,"

"Hurry up and whip."

Walking down from the city wall, we went to the next scenic spot.The rush of travel is always not enough time for us to taste the life here.In fact, at that time, I didn’t have such awareness, thinking that traveling is just visiting tourist attractions.

Attractions outside the city, we have been to Famen Temple, Emperor Wu's Mausoleum, Huo Qubing's Tomb, etc. The most worth writing down is the trip to Huashan.I believe that anyone who has read Jin Yong's novels or TV series has a martial arts dream, and the one place where this martial arts dream cannot leave is Mount Hua.Huashan Lunjian is a place that many martial arts fans yearn for.We have discussed about Huashan a long time ago.

"Brother, we are going to Huashan in the future."

"On the sword?"

"Is it okay to become a monk?"

"What should I do if you become a monk?"

"Then let's go out together."

"But Huashan seems to have no temples, right?"

"Then let's go to Huashan to learn swords."

"Sunflower Treasure?"

"Dugu Nine Swords, standing on the top of Huashan Mountain, proud of the whole rivers and lakes."

"You can blow it here, and practice swords, I think you are practicing cheap. It's a pity, that Jianghu only exists in books, not in reality."

"What if?"

"The two of us can walk the world with our swords."

"It's still like a human saying."

After arriving in Xi'an, we discussed how to climb Huashan Mountain.

My brother said: "There are two options for climbing and scratching: one is to go with the one-day group, and the cable car goes up and down the cable car. The other is to climb up by ourselves, but there are two ways to climb."

"Why are there so many ways, one is to climb behind my back and the other is to climb by myself?"

"The beauty you think is still behind your back, and you climb by yourself. You are here to travel, not to enjoy happiness."

"Hurry up and tell me how to climb."

"One is to climb at night to watch the sunrise in the morning, and the other is to climb during the day and stay overnight to watch the sunrise and go down the mountain."

"How do you say we climbed the mountain?"

"Go during the day, it's too dangerous at night and you can't see the mountain view."

"You've already thought about it yourself, why are you asking me?"

"I have to respect your opinion."

"Is there a time when I disagree with you?"

Mountains, the scenery on the mountains cannot be appreciated on the ground. "Only the sky is above, and there are no mountains and equals. When you raise your head up, the sun is approaching, and when you look back, the white clouds are lower." The mountain road is really steep, and it is impossible to describe it with my writing style.

The most precipitous scenic spot on Huashan Mountain is the Huashan Plank Road.

My brother asked me, "Honey, do you want to try?"

"No, no, I want to live a few more years. You go, I'll watch you from above."

"Are you sure you won't go?"

"No, you go there to take a photo, and then put me on it as if we have all passed, okay?"

"You're lazy."

"I'm warning you, don't seduce other little girls and handsome guys, or I'll never end with you."

I sat on the top of the mountain and waited for my brother to come back from the plank road, and the time passed quickly.Not because he didn't go for a long time but because the scenery on the mountain is too pleasant.Standing on the top of the mountain, I finally realized the feeling of "being at the top of the mountain and seeing all the small mountains at a glance".Standing here overlooking many places in Huashan, the precipitousness and magnificence of Huashan are displayed in front of my eyes.Not far away is Mr. Jin Yong's inscription on Huashan.

My brother came up, "I thought you couldn't come up."

"You really hope that I won't come up?"

"If you can't come, I can find another man."

"You don't have this chance. It's impossible for me to leave you. Even if I leave you, no one will dare to follow you. Don't even think about leaving me."

"Stop making trouble, take a rest, are you tired?"

"It's a pity that you don't go. You can't see a different kind of scenery without going through risks."

"When you see it, I see it."

"Let's have something to eat, you must be exhausted."

"I don't want to eat yet. Let's eat on another mountain where we can watch the sunrise, and then rest there for one night and wait for the sunrise."

By the time we got there, it was already getting dark, and it gets dark late in summer. When it was getting dark, it was getting late, and there were already a lot of people waiting to watch the sunrise.In fact, it is not so important to see the sunrise or not. What is important is that we experience the sentiment of watching the sunrise, a place that only belongs to the two of us.

After climbing the mountain for a day, I sat there and didn't want to move. I was only tired so I couldn't eat anything. In addition, there were a lot of people bustling around, which was very annoying.My brother knew what I meant best, and we found a place with relatively few people, where we could enjoy our two-person time quietly.

This is the first time for the two of us to camp in the wild, or on the top of the mountain.Before going up the mountain, we bought a military coat alone, which is an indispensable thing for camping on the mountain.We sat on the ground in one coat, and the two of us hid in the other coat.He leaned on the tree and I leaned on him, the tree is very strong to rely on and he is my strongest to rely on.

The sun came out, and the gentle sunlight shone on our bodies so warmly, it felt like he was hugging me.

"Honey, the sun is here."

"kindness."

"It's nice to have the sun shining on you."

"It's not as comfortable as you holding me. I like you holding me better than this warm sunshine."

He sighed and said: "Hey, it's a pity that no one hugged me." I came out of his arms and hugged him.He said, "Why?"

"Hold you, let you enjoy the feeling of being held."

"Let me hold you, it's not comfortable to be held."

"Brother, how do we go down the mountain later?"

"Go down."

"Shall we take the cable car down?"

"why?"

"You will know when you get on the cable car."

The cable car slowly slid down the mountain, "I know why you made the cable car, it's not because you're lazy. The scenery on the cable car is really special, it's really worthwhile, we watched Huashan Mountain from different angles."

After visiting Xi'an for so long, my brother and I were very tired and decided to take a good rest and try the delicious food of Xi'an.I still remember the dried kiwi fruit that my sister brought home when she was in school in Xi'an.

Huimin Street, in the eyes of those who don't know Xi'an, is a gathering place for Xi'an cuisine.But when we got there, we found out that the taste of the food was not what it looked like.Later, I realized that the taste was really good before, but it was getting worse and worse.

My brother and I tried all the candied fruit all over the street, but I couldn't find the taste.

"Brother, I can't find it."

"Well, I know."

"Why can't I find it."

"The environment has changed and the mood has changed."

"how to say?"

"At that time, you were not very old, and the conditions at home were not as good as now, so it was delicious to eat something delicious. But now that life is better, you can eat everything. The food may be the same as before, but you The conditions have changed, so you can’t find the same taste as before. Maybe the preserved fruit is really not as good as before.”

"It's nothing, just don't eat. Maybe what I recall is a question?"

"What you are looking for is a memory. Everything we do now may become the memory we look for in the future. Don't think so much, let's start the journey of finding food."

We tasted a lot of food here, not only tasted the food in Muslim Street, but also went to several other snack streets and stayed for several days.The fatigue of travel has been completely relieved, and it is time to go home.

On the train from Xining to Lhasa, you can enjoy the scenery of the plateau. The scenery of exotic places is indeed different from that of the mainland.Sitting next to me is Huang Shenming, a little friend I met in Xining. It has been a long time since I took the train with others. It was very happy to talk and laugh along the way.

Unknowingly, I have arrived at Lhasa Railway Station.
