Chapter 1642

The air here is so fresh, I feel refreshed. "Li Xiao took a deep breath and exclaimed. Huang Pengfei also nodded in agreement: "Yes, the natural scenery of Wuyi Mountain is so beautiful, every step is like walking in a painting."

They continued to climb and met some tea farmers picking tea leaves. Li Xiao walked up to them curiously and started chatting with them. The tea farmers enthusiastically introduced the tea culture of Wuyi Mountain to them and invited them to taste the newly picked tea. They took the tea cups and took a sip. The tea was fragrant and mellow, leaving a lasting aftertaste. "This tea is really delicious. The tea culture of Wuyi Mountain is really well-deserved." Li Xiao praised it highly.

Huang Pengfei was admiring the beautiful scenery of the mountains, pressing the shutter from time to time to record this beautiful moment. They passed Jiuqu Creek, the water was clear and the mountains on both sides were reflected in the water, like a beautiful landscape painting. Li Xiao suggested taking a rest by the creek, and they found a flat stone to sit down and quietly admire the beautiful scenery around them.

"The natural scenery and tea culture of Wuyi Mountain are so fascinating that we can't help but linger." Li Xiao said with emotion. Huang Pengfei also nodded in agreement: "Yes, this trip has made us love nature more and has given us a deeper understanding of China's traditional culture."

After a short rest, they continued to head towards the top of the mountain. After some effort, they finally reached the top. Standing on the top of the mountain, overlooking the mountains and sea of ​​clouds below, they felt extremely proud and satisfied. "Wow, the view here is so broad, it feels like the whole world is at our feet." Li Xiao said excitedly. Huang Pengfei also exclaimed: "Yes, only by standing on the top of the mountain can you truly feel the magnificence and greatness of nature."

After enjoying the beautiful scenery at the top of the mountain for a while, they began to go down the mountain. On the way, they also visited some ancient sites and temples in Wuyi Mountain and learned about the history and culture here. Li Xiao became very interested in the Buddha statues in an ancient temple. He carefully observed every detail of the Buddha statues and felt the wisdom and artistic charm of the ancients. "These Buddha statues are so beautifully carved, each one is lifelike, as if telling an ancient story." Li Xiao exclaimed.

Huang Pengfei quietly admired the natural scenery around him. He felt that the beauty of Wuyi Mountain was not only its peaks and streams, but also its profound cultural heritage. They walked in the mountains, feeling the tranquility and harmony of nature, as if they were isolated from the world and had forgotten the troubles of the world.

In the evening, they returned to the town at the foot of the mountain. The town was full of lights and smoke, and it was full of a strong rural atmosphere. They tasted Wuyi Mountain's specialties in a local restaurant, such as Wuyi Mountain smoked goose and Wuyi Mountain tofu. These delicacies have unique tastes and they praised them highly. "Wuyi Mountain's delicacies are also unique. Every dish is memorable." Li Xiao said while eating. Huang Pengfei also agreed: "Yes, this trip is really rewarding. Not only did we enjoy the beautiful scenery, but we also tasted delicious food."

After spending a few days in Wuyi Mountain, Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei set off on their return journey with a deep attachment to this land. This trip allowed them to feel the magical charm of nature and the profoundness of Chinese traditional culture, and also made them cherish the good time spent with friends even more. They look forward to having the opportunity to explore more beautiful places together in the future to discover more beauty and surprises.

After bidding farewell to the beautiful scenery of Wuyi Mountain, Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei came to another famous attraction in Fujian - Tulou. Tulou is famous for its unique architectural style and long history and culture, and is one of the iconic buildings in Fujian.

When they arrived at the earthen buildings, they were immediately shocked by the scene. Round or square earthen buildings were scattered in the fields, like huge castles, majestic and spectacular. Li Xiao exclaimed: "These earthen buildings are so amazing, how were they built?" Huang Pengfei also replied curiously: "Yes, I heard that these earthen buildings are built with mud and bamboo. After hundreds of years of wind and rain, they are still standing. It's incredible."

They walked into a circular earth building, the interior space was spacious and bright, with layers of rooms arranged along the circular walls, and an open patio in the middle. The sun shone through the patio onto the ground, giving people a warm and peaceful feeling. Li Xiao became very interested in the architectural structure of the earth building. He carefully observed every detail and asked the tour guide about the relevant historical and cultural background from time to time. "These earth buildings not only have a high defensive function, but also reflect the wisdom and spirit of unity of the Hakka people," the tour guide explained.

Huang Pengfei admired the decorations and furnishings inside the earth building. He found that red lanterns and couplets were hung in front of every household, which was full of rural flavor. They also visited the museum inside the earth building and learned about the historical evolution of the earth building and the living customs of the Hakka people. Li Xiao said with emotion: "These earth buildings have witnessed the history and culture of the Hakka people and are the crystallization of their wisdom."

After a day of touring the Tulou, they came to a nearby tea garden. Fujian is one of China's famous tea-producing areas, with beautiful tea gardens and a long history of tea culture. They walked through the tea garden, breathing in the fresh tea fragrance and feeling the hard work of the tea farmers. Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei also personally experienced the process of picking tea. Although their movements were clumsy, they still enjoyed it. "Tea picking is really an interesting thing. Although it is a bit tiring, it feels worth it to be able to pick tea leaves by hand and feel the charm of tea culture." Li Xiao said with a smile.

Huang Pengfei was tasting the freshly picked tea, and the fragrance of tea made him feel relaxed and happy. "The tea here tastes really good, fresh and refreshing, and has a long aftertaste." He said while tasting the tea. They spent a leisurely afternoon in the tea garden, enjoying the tranquility and beauty of tea culture.

In the evening, they returned to the XM city. Xiamen is a city full of vitality and modern atmosphere. High-rise buildings and ancient buildings complement each other, forming a unique urban landscape. They strolled on the beach by the sea, the sea breeze blew gently, and the waves beat against the beach, making a pleasant sound. Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei sat on the beach, looking at the sea view in the distance, their hearts full of emotion. "This trip to Fujian is really rich and colorful. We not only appreciate the beautiful natural scenery, but also experience the rich cultural atmosphere. It's really a lot of harvest." Li Xiao said. Huang Pengfei also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Fujian's mountains and rivers, tea culture, earthen buildings, etc. have left a deep impression on us, allowing us to have a deeper understanding and perception of Chinese traditional culture."

On the last day in Xiamen, they also visited Nanputuo Temple. Nanputuo Temple is a Buddhist temple with a long history. The temple is filled with incense and the Buddha statues are solemn, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace. They visited the temple, admired the ancient buildings and exquisite Buddha statues, and felt the profoundness of Buddhist culture. "In such a temple, I feel that my soul has been purified." Li Xiao said softly.

Huang Pengfei also said: "Yes, the atmosphere here is really relaxing and makes people forget the troubles of the world for a while."

With the end of the trip to Fujian, Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei's China tour is also coming to an end. They look back on every little bit along the way, with a lot of emotion and reluctance in their hearts. This trip allowed them to appreciate the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland, feel the cultural charm of different regions, and deepen their friendship. They look forward to more opportunities to explore this beautiful and magical world together in the future to discover more beauty and surprises.

After finishing their trip in Fujian, Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei set off for their next destination with full memories and reluctance. Their next stop was Suzhou in Jiangsu, a city famous for its classical gardens and waterside customs, full of the gentleness and elegance of the south of the Yangtze River.

As soon as they arrived in Suzhou, they were attracted by the unique charm of the city. Walking on the streets of the ancient city, the bluestone-paved alleys are lined with antique buildings, and the scenes of small bridges, flowing water and houses can be seen everywhere, as if walking into a series of exquisite ink paintings. Li Xiao said excitedly: "Pengfei, the water town style of Suzhou is so beautiful, every place is like a painting." Huang Pengfei also nodded in agreement: "Yes, the atmosphere here is very unique, there is a sense of tranquility and elegance."

They first came to the Humble Administrator's Garden, one of the most famous gardens in Suzhou. The Humble Administrator's Garden is famous for its exquisite garden layout and beautiful natural landscape. The pavilions and towers in the garden are scattered in an orderly manner, and the small bridges and flowing water complement each other. Various plants and flowers are dotted in between, and the scenery is pleasant. Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei strolled in the garden, admiring the beauty of the garden and feeling the ingenious conception and artistic charm of the ancients' gardening. "The design of this garden is really amazing, and every place is full of poetry and painting." Li Xiao exclaimed.

Huang Pengfei quietly admired the pond in the garden. The water was clear and the fish swam freely in the water. Occasionally, a few fallen leaves fell on the water, adding a bit of tranquility and elegance. They sat down in the teahouse in the garden, tasting the local green tea and feeling the tranquility and harmony of the garden. "Tasting tea in such a garden makes me feel relaxed." Huang Pengfei said as he took a sip of tea.

After leaving the Humble Administrator's Garden, they came to Pingjiang Road. Pingjiang Road is a famous ancient street in Suzhou, which retains many traditional shops and handicraft workshops. The streets are lined with antique buildings, a variety of snacks and handicrafts, full of strong Jiangnan style. Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei walked and tasted Suzhou snacks, such as sugar lotus root, osmanthus cake, etc., which were sweet and delicious, and they praised them. "These snacks are so delicious, Suzhou's food is really unique." Li Xiao said while eating.

Huang Pengfei showed great interest in Suzhou embroidery in a handicraft shop. Suzhou embroidery is one of the four famous embroidery styles in China, famous for its fine craftsmanship and beautiful patterns. He carefully admired the exquisite Suzhou embroidery works and felt the unique charm of Suzhou embroidery art. "These Suzhou embroidery works are so beautiful. Every stitch contains the hard work and wisdom of the embroiderer." Huang Pengfei exclaimed.

After a few days of sightseeing in Suzhou, Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei embarked on a new journey. Their next stop was Wuzhen in Zhejiang, an ancient town known as the "model of Jiangnan water town" and famous for its unique water town style and rich cultural atmosphere.

When they arrived at Wuzhen, they were immediately attracted by the scene in front of them. Wuzhen's water town scenery is picturesque, with small bridges, flowing water, ancient houses, and stone alleys, full of the charm of Jiangnan. Li Xiao said excitedly: "Pengfei, Wuzhen's water town style is so beautiful, every place is like a natural painting." Huang Pengfei also nodded in agreement: "Yes, the atmosphere here is very unique, there is a sense of tranquility and romance."

They took a small boat and slowly moved forward in the river of Wuzhen. The boatman rowed the boat skillfully and told them the history and legends of Wuzhen. The ancient houses on both sides of the river were reflected in the water, like a series of exquisite ink paintings. Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei sat quietly in the boat, enjoying this peaceful and beautiful time. "This feeling is really great, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and feeling the beauty of nature here." Huang Pengfei said with emotion.

"Yes, the water town scenery of Wuzhen is so beautiful that people can't help but linger." Li Xiao replied with a smile. They strolled along the ancient streets of Wuzhen, admiring the architecture and culture of the ancient town and feeling the unique charm of the Jiangnan water town.

Continuing to walk slowly along the winding mountain road, Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei seemed to have stepped into a fairyland isolated from the world, and felt the unique charm of Wuyi Mountain more and more deeply. When they reached the mountainside, they looked up and saw a dreamy cloud and mist lingering slowly. In an instant, it tightly wrapped them in it. Everything in front of them became hazy and ethereal, just like a natural ink painting slowly unfolding in front of them. "Pengfei, look at this cloud and mist, it's so misty, we seem to be immortals walking in the mountains, this feeling is so wonderful!" Li Xiao couldn't hide his excitement. He excitedly stretched out his finger and pointed at the surrounding clouds and mist, with a gleam of surprise in his eyes. Huang Pengfei was also deeply impressed by the sudden beauty. He paused, quickly raised the camera in his hand, and concentrated on capturing this fleeting beautiful picture. He did not forget to respond: "Yes, this kind of scenery is too ethereal and beautiful. The camera can only capture the tip of the iceberg. Only by being in it and feeling it with your body and mind can you know its true beauty." They climbed up along the steep mountain road, step by step, arduously but firmly. After several hours of sweating, finally, the long-awaited mountain top came into view. The moment their feet stepped on the top of the mountain, a sense of sudden enlightenment came to their hearts. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, the rolling mountains are in full view, and the clouds between the valleys seem to be surging.
