Chapter 626: Visiting Xi'an (2)
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the ancient city walls, covering this thousand-year-old capital with a golden coat.
Lu Yong and his girlfriend Hannah had just come down from the ancient city wall, their faces filled with excitement and satisfaction.
The majesty of the ancient city wall and its profound history have given them a deeper understanding and love for the city of Xi'an.
"Yong, you know what? I have always wanted to come to Xi'an." Hannah took Lu Yong's arm, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, "I heard that the Muslim Street here is very famous, known as Xi'an on the tip of the tongue, a feast for the taste buds. Let's go and try it together!"
Lu Yong smiled and nodded. He really liked Hannah's curiosity about unknown things. "Of course, I also want to take you to taste the food there. I heard that there are many kinds of snacks there, and every bite is unforgettable."
The two smiled at each other and walked hand in hand into the Muslim Street.
As soon as you step into this ancient street, a rich aroma hits your nose. It is the aroma of mutton soup with steamed buns, mixed with the flavors of various spices, making you salivate.
There are many shops on both sides of Huimin Street, and all kinds of authentic snacks are dazzling. Cold noodles, roujiamo, fried dough twists... Each snack exudes an attractive aroma, as if waving to passers-by.
"Wow, it's so lively here!" Hannah shouted excitedly, her eyes searching for her target everywhere, "Yong, what should we eat first?"
Lu Yong looked at Hannah's excitement, and his heart was filled with happiness: "Let's go try the mutton soup bun again. This is Xi'an's signature food. It tasted really good the last time I ate it."
The two came to a mutton soup steamed bun shop, and the sign of the shop read "Old Brand Mutton Soup Steamed Bun".
The store was crowded with people and every seat was occupied.
Lu Yong and Hannah found an empty seat and sat down, ordering a bowl of mutton soup with steamed bun.
After a while, the steaming mutton soup with steamed buns was served on the table.
Lu Yong picked up the chopsticks and gently stirred the steamed bun in the bowl, and the aroma filled the air.
He took a bite, and the delicious soup and tender mutton intertwined in his mouth, leaving him with an endless aftertaste.
"Wow, this is so delicious!" Hannah also took a bite, with a satisfied look on her face, "Yong, try this, it tastes really good!"
Lu Yong smiled and nodded. He liked seeing Hannah's satisfied look.
The two of them tasted mutton soup with steamed buns while chatting and enjoying this rare leisure time.
After eating mutton soup with steamed buns, Lu Yong and Hannah started their food journey again.
They came to the cold noodle stall and ordered a portion of cold noodle.
The cold noodles are smooth and delicious, and paired with spicy seasoning, it whets your appetite.
"Yong, this cold noodle is also delicious!" Hannah praised while eating the cold noodle, "I feel like I can eat a whole portion!"
Lu Yong looked at Hannah with a smile. He knew that Hannah was very particular about food and rarely praised a snack like this: "Yes, the cold noodles here are indeed very famous. Every snack in Xi'an has its own unique flavor."
After finishing the cold noodles, they continued to taste other snacks.
Roujiamo, fried twisted dough sticks, soup dumplings... every snack made them rave about it.
Especially the soup dumplings, with thin skin, large fillings and delicious soup. One bite will give you a full sense of happiness.
While tasting the food, Lu Yong and Hannah also encountered an interesting episode.
A diner and a fried noodles vendor got into an argument over chili peppers.
The customer insisted that he did not want chili, but the stall owner said he did not. The argument became more and more intense, and finally they came to blows.
"Oh, why are they fighting?" Hannah shouted in surprise.
Lu Yong frowned. He didn't expect to encounter such a thing here. "Maybe there is a communication problem. There are so many people and it's noisy here, and sometimes it's easy to mishear."
The two stood aside and watched the excitement. They saw diners and stall owners fighting with each other, and pedestrians around them avoided them.
After a while, the police arrived at the scene, pulled the two men apart and took them away.
"It's so thrilling!" Hannah exclaimed, "I didn't expect to see such a scene here."
Lu Yong smiled and patted Hannah on the shoulder: "It's okay, this is just a small episode. Let's continue to enjoy the food."
The two continued their food journey, eating from the beginning to the end of the street.
Every snack makes them feel satisfied and happy.
Especially the beef tripe and wontons, which made them rave about it.
The beef tripe is soft, tender and chewy, and paired with spicy seasoning, it is irresistible.
The wontons have thin skin, tender fillings and delicious soup, and every bite is unforgettable.
While tasting the delicious food, Lu Yong and Hannah also felt the enthusiasm and vitality of the city of Xi'an.
The bustling crowds on Huimin Street, the dazzling array of shops, the fragrant snacks...all of these have given them a deeper understanding and love for this city.
"Yong, I think this trip is really worth it!" Hannah said excitedly, "I tried so many delicious snacks and saw such interesting scenes. I really fell in love with this city!"
Lu Yong smiled and nodded. He really liked seeing Hannah so happy. "Yes, Xi'an is indeed a very charming city. The food, culture, and history here... all fascinate me."
The two continued to taste the food and enjoy this rare leisure time.
They know that such time is short, but they will cherish every minute and every second.
As night falls, the lights on Huimin Street gradually light up.
Lu Yong and Hannah also ended their food tour.
They packed up a few skewers and prepared to go back to the hotel to have some drinks and then have a good sleep.
On the way back to the hotel, the two chatted and shared their gains and feelings of the day.
They knew that this trip would be an unforgettable experience in their lives.
After returning to the hotel, Lu Yong and Hannah opened the packaged skewers, poured some wine, and began to enjoy their midnight snack.
The skewers are spicy and delicious, and paired with ice-cold beer, it makes people feel extremely satisfied.
"Yong, I feel really happy today." Hannah raised her wine glass and said to Lu Yong.
Lu Yong smiled and raised his glass, clinking it with Hannah: "I am also very happy to share these wonderful times with you. Hannah, you are the most important person in my life. I hope we can travel to more places together and taste more delicious food."
Hannah's eyes sparkled with emotion, and she held Lu Yong's hand tightly: "Yong, I hope so too. Let's work together to create more beautiful memories!"
The two smiled at each other and raised their glasses to drink together.
Under the influence of alcohol, their mood became more cheerful.
They know that tonight will be a wonderful night, and they will fall asleep soundly in this satisfaction and happiness, and welcome the arrival of tomorrow.
That night, Lu Yong and Hannah felt unprecedented satisfaction in Xi'an's arms.
They know that this city will always remain in their memory and become the most beautiful page in their lives.
The food feast in Huimin Street is destined to become an eternal memory on their taste buds.
In the days to come, no matter where they go, no matter what kind of food they taste, they will remember that night in Xi'an, that night full of laughter and satisfaction.
Because, that is their common memory and the wonderful time they created together.
The next morning, when the alarm rang, Lu Yong still felt a little dizzy.
His arms and legs were also a little sore. The continuous high-intensity travel during this period was a bit too much for him.
Although traveling seems easy, it is actually a very strenuous process.
In addition, he and Hannah drank two extra bottles of beer last night because they were happy, which made him feel a little dizzy now.
Lu Yong turned over and wanted to sleep a little longer, but when he saw his girlfriend Hannah had gotten up and was washing and getting ready to put on makeup in the bathroom, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to get out of bed.
After all, they had so many places they planned to go this summer, and they had to spend as little time as possible in each place so that they could visit as many places as possible.
After Lu Yong got up, he washed up and went to the restaurant to wait for Hannah. After a while, Hannah came out after putting on her makeup. She looked refreshed, as if all the fatigue from last night had been swept away.
"Yong, are you up?" Hannah asked with a smile, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Lu Yong rubbed his eyes and smiled: "Not bad, but I'm still a little sleepy. However, seeing you so energetic, I feel more energetic too."
The two of them had a quick bite in the hotel restaurant and then drove to their destination for today - Huaqing Palace.
Huaqing Palace, the place that once witnessed the love story of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guifei, has always attracted countless tourists to visit.
Xi'an locals once described Huaqing Palace in one sentence: "The love of the emperor, the hot spring water washes the fat."
This sentence is full of romance and mystery, and makes people have endless imagination about Huaqing Palace.
When Lu Yong and Hannah walked into Huaqing Palace, they felt as if they had traveled back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
They strolled in the gardens, feeling the luxury and tenderness that belonged to the emperor.
Every brick and tile here seems to be telling a romantic story that has been passed down through the ages.
"Wow, this place is so beautiful!" Hannah couldn't help but sigh, "Yong, look at this hot spring pool. I heard that Yang Guifei bathed here."
Lu Yong nodded. He was also attracted by the beautiful scenery here. "Yes, it is really beautiful here. Can you imagine? In that era, this was the emperor's palace. It was a place that many people dreamed of."
The two continued to stroll in the garden, admiring the surrounding scenery.
Suddenly, they heard the tour guide's explanation.
It turned out that there was a tour group nearby, and the tour guide was holding a loudspeaker and a flag, telling people historical stories related to Huaqing Palace.
Lu Yong and Hannah looked at each other and decided to follow the tour group to listen.
They followed the tour group and listened to the guide vividly telling the love story of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guifei, as well as the glorious history of Huaqing Palace.
"The love story between Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Concubine Yang is truly a legend," Hannah exclaimed. "Can you imagine? In that era, it was really not easy for them to love each other so much."
Lu Yong nodded, and he was also very emotional: "Yes, their love story is really touching. However, I think we are also very lucky to be able to meet in this era and visit these beautiful places together."
After hearing what Lu Yong said, Hannah showed a happy smile on her face.
She held Lu Yong's hand tightly, as if she wanted to hold on to this happiness forever.
As the tour group progressed, Lu Yong and Hannah learned more about the history of Huaqing Palace.
They came to a hot spring pool called "Xingchen Tang", which was said to have been built by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang specifically for Yang Guifei.
The water in the hot spring pool is crystal clear and the temperature is just right. You can almost still feel the warmth and tenderness that Yang Guifei felt when she bathed here.
"Yong, imagine if we were people from that era, would we be able to enjoy the nourishment of the hot springs here like Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guifei?" Hannah suddenly asked.
Lu Yong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "To be honest, I don't know. However, I think that no matter what era we are in, as long as we love each other, we can find our own happiness."
After hearing what Lu Yong said, Hannah's eyes sparkled with emotion.
She knew that Lu Yong was a person she could trust and rely on.
No matter what difficulties and challenges they will encounter in the future, as long as they love each other, they will be able to overcome everything.
The two continued to tour the Huaqing Palace. Every time they came to a scenic spot, they would stop to appreciate it carefully and take photos.
During the tour, Lu Yong and Hannah encountered an interesting thing.
They came to a place called "Changsheng Palace", where Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guifei once lived.
When they walked into the Hall of Eternal Life, they suddenly heard the melodious sound of a zither.
The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman in ancient costume sitting in front of a guzheng, playing it gracefully.
Her fingers danced on the strings, as if telling an ancient and beautiful story.
Lu Yong and Hannah were attracted by the wonderful music. They stood quietly aside, listening to this melody that spanned thousands of years.
At this moment, they seemed to have really traveled back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty and became a part of the love story of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guifei.
When the sound of the zither gradually died down, Lu Yong and Hannah woke up from their intoxication.
They thanked the woman and asked her what song she played.
"This is a guzheng piece I adapted based on the historical story of Huaqing Palace," the woman said with a smile, "I hope that through this piece, more people can feel the beauty and romance of Huaqing Palace."
After hearing what the woman said, Lu Yong and Hannah were filled with emotion.
They know that Huaqing Palace is not just a tourist attraction, but also a place that carries history and culture.
The woman's guzheng music added a sense of mystery and romance to the Huaqing Palace.
After leaving the Hall of Eternal Life, Lu Yong and Hannah continued to visit other attractions in Huaqing Palace.
They came to a place called "Jiulong Lake". The water here was crystal clear and the surrounding scenery was reflected on the lake, like a beautiful painting.
The two sat on a bench by the lake and admired the surrounding scenery.
A breeze blew, and ripples appeared on the surface of the lake, as if telling an ancient and beautiful story.
"Yong, what do you think of our trip?" Hannah asked suddenly.
Lu Yong smiled and held Hannah's hand tightly. "I think this trip is great. We visited so many beautiful places and experienced different cultures and histories. And, most importantly, we spent a wonderful time together."
After hearing what Lu Yong said, Hannah showed a happy smile on her face.
She knew that this trip would be one of the most memorable experiences of their lives.
And Huaqing Palace, the place that witnessed the love story of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guifei, will also become a part of their love story.
As time passed, the sun gradually set.
Lu Yong and Hannah also ended their trip to Huaqing Palace.
On the way back to the hotel, the two chatted and shared their gains and feelings of the day.
"Yong, I think today is really special." Hannah said, "Not only did we visit the Huaqing Palace, but we also heard such beautiful guzheng music."
Lu Yong nodded, and he was also very emotional: "Yes, today is indeed very special. I think we are very lucky to experience these wonderful things together."
The two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts filled with happiness.
After returning to the hotel, Lu Yong and Hannah began to organize the photos taken today.
They looked at themselves in the photos and smiled so happily and joyfully.
These photos not only record every detail of their stay in Huaqing Palace, but also bear witness to the love between them.
"Yong, look at this photo." Hannah pointed to a photo and said, "We took this photo in front of the Changsheng Palace. You looked so stupid back then!"
Lu Yong took a look at the photo and laughed: "I was a little silly at the time, but I think this photo is very memorable and records our good times in Huaqing Palace."
The two continued to look through the photos, recalling every detail of today.
In many photos, the two of them are actively acting funny, which is completely different from their usual dignified appearance in front of the media.
It is precisely these vivid and funny photos that bring the two closer together.
As night falls, the lights in Huaqing Palace gradually light up.
Lu Yong and Hannah stood at the window of the hotel, looking towards the direction of Huaqing Palace.
Although today's trip has ended, the beauty and romance of Huaqing Palace will remain in their memories forever. (End of this chapter)
