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

The July sunshine, like golden silk, gently drapes over the shoulders of the bustling city of Brooklyn.

However, in this vibrant season, Lu Yong chose to put aside his basketball affairs and boarded a flight to China with his girlfriend Hannah to continue their unfinished travel chapter.

The plane glided slowly on the runway, and finally took off, passing through layers of clouds and flying towards the distant east.

Lu Yong sat by the window, looking at the ever-changing scenery outside, his heart full of anticipation.

Hannah snuggled up to him with a happy smile on her face.

"Lu, where are we going to play this time?" Hannah asked softly, her voice full of anticipation and curiosity.

Lu Yong turned his head with a smile, looked at Hannah's twinkling eyes, and said slowly: "This time, we are going to a place known as 'paradise on earth' - Hangzhou. There is the beautiful West Lake and the spectacular Thousand Island Lake. I believe you will like it."

When Hannah heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She had heard Lu Yong talk about the beauty of Hangzhou before, but she had never had the chance to experience it in person.

Now, this opportunity has finally come, how can she not be excited?

As the plane flew at an altitude of 10,000 meters, Lu Yong and Hannah chatted and shared their expectations and imaginations about Hangzhou.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment, and every minute and every second was filled with sweetness and happiness.

After a long flight, the plane finally landed at Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport.

Lu Yong and Hannah walked out of the airport, feeling the atmosphere of this ancient yet modern city.

They took a taxi to the hotel, enjoying the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou along the way, their hearts full of anticipation.

After a short rest in the hotel, Lu Yong and Hannah couldn't wait to embark on their journey to West Lake.

What kind of charm does West Lake, a place known as "paradise on earth", have?

When they arrived at the West Lake, they were shocked by the scene before them.

The lake water is as green as jade and sparkling, like a huge mirror, reflecting the surrounding mountains and trees.

The Leifeng Pagoda in the distance stands on the top of the mountain, contrasting with the lake and forming a beautiful picture.

Lu Yong and Hannah walked slowly along the path by the lake, feeling the tranquility and beauty of West Lake.

Sometimes they stopped to admire the lotus flowers in the lake and sometimes took photos, as if they wanted to freeze this beauty in their memory forever.

"Lu, this place is so beautiful!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaim, "I feel like I'm in a fairy tale world."

Lu Yong smiled and nodded, holding Hannah's hand tightly: "Yes, it is indeed beautiful here. However, the most beautiful thing is you who is by my side."

When Hannah heard this, her face flushed. She lowered her head shyly, her heart filled with sweetness.

They continued walking and came to the Broken Bridge.

This ancient bridge has witnessed countless love legends and now has become a witness to the love story of Lu Yong and Hannah.

They stood on the bridge, looking at the lake and mountains in the distance, as if they saw their happy future.

After leaving the Broken Bridge, they came to a West Lake Vinegar Fish restaurant.

Although Lu Yong had heard of the reputation of this dish before, when he actually tasted it, he found that it was not as delicious as the legend said.

However, since I'm here, I have to try it anyway. It's a unique experience.

"Lu, this dish may not taste very good, but I really like the feeling of trying new things." Hannah said with a smile, "When I am with you, I can always experience different fun."

Lu Yong looked at Hannah's satisfied smile and his heart was filled with happiness.

He knew that every moment with Hannah was precious and worth cherishing and remembering.

After leaving West Lake, Lu Yong and Hannah came to Qiandao Lake.

This is a tourist destination with water activities as its theme, boasting spectacular natural scenery and abundant holiday entertainment activities.

They rented a yacht and cruised on the lake, feeling the coolness of the water and the breeze on their faces.

"Lu, look at the mountains over there, they look like an ink painting!" Hannah said, pointing to the mountains in the distance.

Lu Yong looked in the direction of Hannah's finger, and saw rolling mountains in the distance, shrouded in clouds and mist, like an elegant ink painting.

He couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, the scenery here is really beautiful. I feel like I am in a fairyland."

They played on Qiandao Lake for a whole afternoon, tried various water activities, and felt unprecedented joy and excitement.

When the sun gradually set, they reluctantly left this beautiful place.

After returning to the hotel, Lu Yong and Hannah lay on the bed, recalling their experiences of the day.

They looked at each other and smiled, their hearts filled with satisfaction and happiness.

"Lu, I'm so happy today." Hannah said softly, "I feel like I've found the joy of life again."

Lu Yong hugged Hannah tightly and said gently: "Hannah, every day is happy with you. I hope we can continue like this and never separate."

When Hannah heard this, tears flashed in her eyes.

She knew that she had found true happiness.

In this world full of unknowns and variables, with Lu Yong by her side, she has the most solid support.

That night, Lu Yong and Hannah slept in each other's arms, as if they wanted to freeze this happiness forever in the long river of time.

The early morning sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains onto Lu Yong and Hannah's faces, waking up the couple who were immersed in their dreams.

They rubbed their sleepy eyes and smiled at each other, as if to say, "A new day has begun again."

They had a simple breakfast in the hotel restaurant and couldn't wait to embark on a new journey.

Today's destination is another shining pearl in Hangzhou - Lingyin Temple. This ancient Buddhist temple is known as "the most magnificent scenery in the southeast". It not only has a long history, but also carries profound cultural connotations.

"Lu, I heard that Lingyin Temple is very effective. Should we go there to worship too?" Hannah asked expectantly while fixing her hair.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded: "Of course, since we are in Hangzhou, how can we not go to Lingyin Temple? Maybe it can bring us good luck."

They took a taxi to Lingyin Temple, and what came into view was the solemn and ancient temple gate.

As you cross the threshold, a sense of tranquility hits you in the face, as if instantly isolating you from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

They walked slowly along the bluestone road. The towering ancient trees on both sides were lush and green, giving people a special feeling of tranquility and harmony.

Inside the temple, they saw many devout pilgrims burning incense and worshiping Buddha, praying for peace and happiness.

Lu Yong and Hannah also bought incense, knelt devoutly on the cushion, clasped their hands together, closed their eyes, and silently made their wishes.

"I hope our love will always be happy, and I hope our family will be safe and healthy." Hannah prayed silently in her heart.

Lu Yong silently pledged his persistent pursuit of basketball career and his everlasting love for Hannah.

After worshiping the Buddha, they walked out of Lingyin Temple feeling particularly relaxed.

As if they had undergone a spiritual baptism, they cherished each other more and cherished this rare happy time more.

"Lu, let's go eat something. I'm a little hungry." Hannah touched her stomach and said with a smile.

Lu Yong nodded: "Okay, I heard there is a snack street nearby with a lot of authentic Hangzhou food, let's go and try it."

They came to the snack street and saw the tempting Dongpo pork and Longjing shrimp at first glance.

These two dishes are Hangzhou’s signature delicacies, how can you miss them?

"Boss, give us one serving of Dongpo pork and one serving of Longjing shrimp." Lu Yong shouted loudly.

After a while, the hot dishes were served on the table.

The Dongpo pork is bright red in color, fatty but not greasy, and melts in your mouth; the Longjing shrimp is emerald green in color, tender and delicious, with a faint tea fragrance.

Lu Yong and Hannah couldn't wait to taste it, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

"Wow, this Dongpo pork is so delicious, fatty but not greasy, and melts in your mouth." Hannah praised it as she ate.

Lu Yong also nodded: "Yes, this Longjing shrimp is also very good, the shrimp is very fresh, and the tea fragrance is also very strong, it is really delicious."

After they finished eating, they rubbed their stomachs with satisfaction, as if they had just experienced a feast of delicious food.

Then, they decided to visit Qinghefang in the center of HZ, an old neighborhood with a historical and cultural atmosphere, with many traditional buildings and specialty shops.

On both sides of the streets of Qinghefang, quaint buildings are lined up one after another, as if you have traveled back to ancient times.

They strolled along the streets, admiring the scenery on both sides and feeling the fusion of ancient and modern times.

"Lu, look at that building, it's so beautiful!" Hannah said, pointing to an ancient building in the distance.

Lu Yong looked in the direction of Hannah's finger and saw the building with its flying eaves, carved beams and painted rafters, which was magnificent. He couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, the buildings here are very distinctive, and each one has its own story and history."

They continued walking and came to a small shop selling tea.

The shop owner greeted them warmly: "Young men and women, come and have a look at our Longjing tea, which is one of the top ten famous teas in China."

Lu Yong and Hannah looked at each other, their hearts full of anticipation.

They knew that Longjing tea was a specialty of Hangzhou and was known as one of the "Top Ten Famous Teas in China". So they decided to buy some to try.

The owner skillfully brewed a pot of Longjing tea, and the fragrance of the tea instantly filled the entire shop.

Lu Yong and Hannah took the teacup and took a sip. They found the tea aroma was fresh and elegant, and the taste was mellow and sweet, as if they were in a sea of ​​tea.

"Wow, this Longjing tea is so delicious!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaimed.

Lu Yong also nodded: "Yes, the taste of this tea is indeed very unique, worthy of being one of the top ten famous teas in China."

They tasted Longjing tea while touring Qinghefang.

They saw many interesting little shops and special products and couldn't help but buy some as souvenirs.

They also took a lot of photos and left behind beautiful memories.

During the tour, they also encountered some interesting things.

For example, in a small shop selling handicrafts, Hannah saw an exquisite ceramic cup and wanted to buy it.

However, when she took out her wallet, she found that there was not enough money in it.

At this time, Lu Yong took out his wallet without hesitation and bought the ceramic cup for Hannah.

Hannah was moved and hugged Lu Yong, with tears of happiness in her eyes.

"Lu, you're so nice to me."

Lu Yong patted Hannah's back gently and said softly: "Hannah, you are my girlfriend, of course I have to treat you well. As long as you are happy, I will be satisfied."

Hannah was even more moved when she heard this.

She knew that she had found a man who truly loved her, a man who was willing to give everything for her.

As time passed, the sun gradually set, Qinghefang also ushered in the tranquility of the evening, and Lu Yong and Hannah also ended the day's trip.

They walked hand in hand on the way back to the hotel, recalling the day's experiences, their hearts filled with satisfaction and happiness.

"Lu, I'm so happy today." Hannah said softly, "I feel like I'm in a fairy tale world. With you by my side, every day is full of surprises and happiness."

Lu Yong held Hannah's hand tightly and said affectionately: "Hannah, I feel very happy to be with you. I hope we can continue like this and never separate."

The next day, their destination was another historic commercial street in Hangzhou - the Southern Song Imperial Street.

The Southern Song Imperial Street, as one of the oldest commercial streets in Hangzhou, carries a thousand years of historical and cultural heritage.

On both sides of the street, quaint buildings and modern commercial atmosphere are intertwined to form a unique picture.

Lu Yong and Hannah walked hand in hand on this historic street, feeling the fusion of ancient and modern times.

"Lu, look at that shop, its decoration is so unique!" Hannah said, pointing to a shop in the distance.

Lu Yong looked in the direction of Hannah's finger and saw that the shop's sign read "Time-honored Southern Song Dynasty Brand" and two antique lanterns were hung on the door lintel. They were attracted by the shop and walked in.

Inside the shop, there are all kinds of antique goods, including exquisite porcelain, ancient paintings and calligraphy, and a variety of handicrafts.

Lu Yong and Hannah walked around the store, picking up an item from time to time to examine it carefully, as if each item carried a historical story.

"Lu, look at this porcelain, it's so beautiful!" Hannah picked up a blue and white porcelain vase and admired it carefully.

Lu Yong nodded: "Yes, this porcelain is indeed very exquisite. Look at its glaze color and patterns, they are full of ancient artistic charm."

They continued to wander around, occasionally discovering some interesting merchandise.

Hannah took a fancy to an exquisite hairpin and wanted to buy it as a souvenir.

Lu Yong took a fancy to an antique inkstone and thought it was very suitable for writing.

After buying things, they walked out of the store and continued strolling on the Southern Song Imperial Street.

They saw many interesting little shops and special products and couldn't help but buy some as souvenirs.

They also tasted some authentic snacks and felt the unique food culture of Hangzhou.

"Lu, this street is so fun." Hannah said excitedly, "I feel like I have traveled back to ancient times and experienced the life of ancient people."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Yes, this street is indeed very distinctive. It has witnessed the historical changes of Hangzhou and also carries our beautiful memories."

After visiting the Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Street, Lu Yong and Hannah decided to visit the Century Museum in Hangzhou.

The museum houses a rich collection of cultural relics and artworks, showcasing the history and culture of the Zhejiang region.

They want to gain a deeper understanding of Hangzhou's history and culture through these cultural relics and artworks.

Various precious cultural relics and artworks are displayed in the museum.

There are ancient bronzes, ceramics, calligraphy and paintings, as well as modern jades, gold and silver wares.

Each cultural relic seems to be telling a historical story, allowing people to feel the profound historical heritage.

Lu Yong and Hannah walked around the museum, stopping from time to time to carefully appreciate each artifact.

They were shocked by the exquisiteness and artistic value of these cultural relics, as if they were immersed in a long river of history.

"Lu, look at this bronze artifact, its shape is so unique!" Hannah said, pointing to a bronze artifact.

Lu Yong looked in the direction of Hannah's finger and saw that the bronze artifact had a unique shape and intricate and exquisite patterns.

He couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, this bronze ware is indeed unique. Look at its shape and decoration, they are full of ancient artistic charm."

They continued to admire other cultural relics, expressing exclamations and praises from time to time.

Through these cultural relics, they gained a deeper understanding of Hangzhou’s history and culture, and also felt the fusion of the ancient and the modern.

After leaving the museum, Lu Yong and Hannah decided to go see the Qiantang River Bridge.

This bridge is one of Hangzhou's landmark buildings and is known as the longest highway bridge in China.

They want to stand on the bridge, enjoy the beautiful river view, and feel the magic and magnificence of nature.

They took a taxi to the Qiantang River Bridge, which spanned the wide river and looked magnificent.

They walked slowly along the sidewalk on the bridge, admiring the scenery on both sides.

"Lu, look at the mountains over there, they look like an ink painting!" Hannah said, pointing to the mountains in the distance.

Lu Yong looked in the direction of Hannah's finger, and saw rolling mountains in the distance, shrouded in clouds and mist, like an elegant ink painting.

He couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, the scenery here is really beautiful. I feel like I am in a fairyland."

They continued to move forward, stopping from time to time to take photos.

They want to freeze this beauty in their memory forever and make it the most beautiful page in their love story.

As the sun set, they finally reached the end of the bridge.

They stood on the bridge, looking at the river in the distance, their hearts filled with reluctance and nostalgia.

"Lu, I really don't want to leave here." Hannah held Lu Yong's hand tightly, tears flashing in her eyes.

Lu Yong patted Hannah's shoulder gently and said softly: "Hannah, although we are leaving, our memories will remain here forever. Moreover, we have more places to go and more beautiful scenery to see. As long as we are together, every day is a new beginning."

Hannah felt a little relieved after hearing this.

She knew that Lu Yong was right, they still had a long way to go and more beautiful things were waiting for them to explore.

So, she looked at Lu Yong with a smile: "Lu, you are right, let's go and welcome the new beauty."

Lu Yong nodded and held Hannah's hand tightly.

They turned around together, left this place full of memories, and embarked on a new journey.

This day's trip allowed Lu Yong and Hannah to gain a deeper understanding of Hangzhou's history and culture, and made them cherish the time they spent together even more.

They know what this love means to them, and they also know that they still have a long way to go and more beautiful things are waiting for them to explore.

In the following days, Lu Yong and Hannah continued to visit the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou.

They went to Xixi Wetland and felt the magic and beauty of nature; they went to Jiuxi Yanshu and experienced the poetic and picturesque atmosphere.

Every scenic spot left traces of their laughter and sweet memories.

However, good times are always short-lived.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yong and Hannah's trip to Hangzhou is about to end.

They stood by the West Lake, looking at the rippling blue water, their hearts filled with reluctance and nostalgia.

For Lu Yong and Hannah, this trip to Hangzhou was not just a simple journey, but also a baptism and sublimation of the soul.

In this city, they felt the weight of history and the charm of culture, and also experienced the sweetness and happiness of love.

This love will accompany them for a longer time and bring them more beautiful things.

A pair of beautiful eyes can often discover more beauty. Lu Yong and Hannah's summer trip has just begun. (End of this chapter)
