The two of them drank tea and chatted. They talked about what they had seen and heard in the capital these days, as well as their future plans and dreams. In the teahouse, time seemed to slow down and make people intoxicated.

After tasting the tea, Lu Yong took Hannah to a paper-cutting shop, where a wide variety of paper-cutting works were displayed.

"Nana, look at this paper-cut, it's so beautiful!" Lu Yong said, pointing to an exquisite paper-cut work.

Hannah looked at them carefully and nodded. "Yes, these paper-cut works are so creative! Let's buy some as souvenirs."

So, the two of them selected a few paper-cut works they liked and prepared to take them home as a souvenir of their trip to the capital.

After leaving the paper-cutting shop, the two continued strolling in the alley.

In the alleys, there are all kinds of special foods.

"Lu, I also want to eat noodles with soybean paste!" Hannah said, pointing to a snack stand.

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Okay, then let's go eat noodles with soybean paste! The noodles with soybean paste here are authentic Beijing flavor!"

The two came to the snack stand and ordered two bowls of noodles with soybean paste.

The noodles are chewy and the sauce is rich, leaving a lasting aftertaste.

After eating the noodles with soybean paste, they also tried other special snacks, and except for the bean juice, they praised every one of them.

In addition to traditional elements, Nanluoguxiang also incorporates many modern elements.

Creative shops, cafes...the combination of modern and traditional elements has brought new vitality to Nanluoguxiang.

In front of a creative little shop, Hannah was attracted by a piece of exquisite handicraft.

"Lu, look at this handicraft, it's so cute!" she said, pointing at the handicraft.

Lu Yong took a look and nodded: "Yes, it is really cute. Buy it if you like it."

So Hannah happily bought the handicraft with a happy smile on her face.

While strolling in Nanluoguxiang, Lu Yong and Hannah not only appreciated the history and culture of the old capital, but also felt the perfect fusion of modernity and tradition.

This is a place worth checking in and a place that makes people linger.

The afternoon sun shines on every corner of the capital, and also illuminates the 798 Art District, a land full of creativity and vitality.

Lu Yong and Hannah, with their love and curiosity for art, stepped into this most distinctive art gathering place in Beijing.

"Nana, look here, isn't it completely different from Nanluoguxiang?" Lu Yong said, pointing at the surrounding buildings.

Hannah nodded, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Yes! It's so artistic here! It feels like every step is full of creativity and inspiration."

798 Art District, once an old factory area of ​​China's ancient electronics industry, has now been transformed and replanned into an entrepreneurial park with a strong artistic and cultural atmosphere.

The original industrial traces and characteristics of the times are preserved here, and the park also brings together many artists, designers and creative industry practitioners. The studios, galleries, art exhibition spaces, etc. they set up here provide visitors with a novel platform for artistic exchange of ideas.

Lu Yong and Hannah walked along the road in the park, and every step seemed to be stepping into a new world of art.

They saw various forms of art including paintings, sculptures, photography and installation art, each of which was full of unique charm and creativity.

"Lu Yong, look at this painting, it's so well done!" Hannah said, pointing to an oil painting.

Lu Yong looked at it carefully and nodded: "Yes, the colors of this painting are used very cleverly, giving people a strong visual impact."

The two continued walking and came to a sculpture exhibition area, where sculptures of various forms were displayed, some abstract, some figurative, but all full of artistic beauty.

"Nana, look at this sculpture, isn't it very creative?" Lu Yong said, pointing to a sculpture made of scrap metal.

Hannah looked at it carefully and nodded. "Yes, this sculpture turns waste metal into treasure. It not only embodies the concept of environmental protection, but also shows the creativity and talent of the artist."

During their exploration of the 798 Art District, Lu Yong and Hannah not only appreciated various forms of art works, but also felt the artists' love for life and dedication to art. This is an art palace full of creativity and inspiration, and also a place where people linger.

"Lu, I think it's really great here!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaim.

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Yes, it is really great here. Not only can you see various works of art, but you can also feel the creative passion and inspiration of the artists."

The two continued to stroll in the art district, and every step seemed to be a spiritual dialogue with art.

As night falls, the capital city is lit up by lights.

Lu Yong and Hannah walked into a Peking Opera theater with curiosity and anticipation about Peking Opera.

Tonight, they will experience a Peking Opera feast here, bringing this trip to the capital to a perfect end.

Inside the Peking Opera House, the lights are bright, and the stage sets and props are full of traditional charm.

Lu Yong and Hannah found a seat near the front and sat down, looking forward to the performance.

With the sound of melodious piano, the Peking Opera performance officially kicked off. The actors wore gorgeous costumes, with delicate makeup on their faces, and moved gracefully on the stage.

Their high-pitched and passionate singing voices and their graceful and flowing movements seem to bring the audience into a world full of legends.

"Nana, look at this actor's figure and singing voice, isn't it very charming?" Lu Yong said, pointing at an actor on the stage.

Hannah looked at it carefully and nodded. "Yes, this actor's performance is really great! His singing voice is very contagious and his body movements are very graceful."

The two continued to enjoy the Peking Opera performance, and every scene amazed them.

Whether it is the deep affection in "Farewell My Concubine" or the joys and sorrows in "A Dream of Red Mansions", the actors performed them vividly, making people feel as if they were there.

During the performance, Lu Yong also explained the history and cultural background of Peking Opera to Hannah from time to time, allowing her to have a deeper understanding of the charm of this art. Hannah listened with great interest and nodded in agreement from time to time.

"Lu, I think Peking Opera is really amazing!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaim, "It is not only an art form, but also a cultural heritage."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Yes, Peking Opera, as one of the quintessence of Chinese culture, has a profound historical background and cultural connotation. It combines multiple elements such as music, dance, and drama, showing the breadth and depth of Chinese traditional culture."

As the performance progressed, both Lu Yong and Hannah were deeply attracted by the charm of Peking Opera.

They seemed to have forgotten the passage of time and were immersed in this feast of art.

When the last act ended, the audience burst into warm applause.

Lu Yong and Hannah also stood up and clapped loudly to express their respect and appreciation to the actors.

"Nana, how was your Peking Opera experience this time?" Lu Yong asked.

Hannah smiled brightly: "It's great! This Peking Opera experience has given me a deeper understanding of China's traditional culture and made me feel the charm and flavor of Peking Opera."

Lu Yong also smiled and said, "Yes, this Peking Opera experience is really worthwhile. It not only allows us to enjoy the wonderful performance, but also allows us to feel the profoundness of Chinese traditional culture."

On the way out of the Peking Opera House, Lu Yong and Hannah were still thinking about the performance. They knew that this Peking Opera experience would become one of the most precious memories in their lives and a perfect ending to their trip to Beijing. Looking back on their trip to Beijing over the past few days, Lu Yong and Hannah not only appreciated the history and culture of this city, but also felt its modernity and vitality.

From a journey through the ancient charm of Nanluoguxiang, to a modern exploration of the 798 Art District, to a stunning night of Peking Opera performances, every moment was filled with laughter and surprises.

"Lu, this trip to Beijing is really fun!" Hannah couldn't help but sigh.

Lu Yong smiled and said gently: "Just be happy. Your happiness is more important than anything else."

Their eyes met in the air, and at that moment, they seemed to hear each other's heartbeats.

After finishing their trip in Beijing, Lu Yong and Hannah took the high-speed train to Qinhuangdao with infinite anticipation for their next stop.

Outside the car window, the scenery passed by like a movie, but the two people's hearts had already flown to the coastal city, imagining the golden sand beach stretching for dozens of kilometers and the crystal clear sea water.

"Lu, what do you think Qinhuangdao will be like?" Hannah leaned on Lu Yong's shoulder, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Lu Yong smiled and gently held her hand: "It must be beautiful. I heard that the beach there is as soft as butter and the sea water is very clear. Moreover, we are going to Shanhaiguan this time, which is the starting point of the Great Wall. It's exciting just thinking about it."

Hannah nodded, with a happy smile on her face. She knew that every trip with Lu Yong was a baptism of the soul and a sublimation of love.

The speed of the high-speed rail was amazing, and in a blink of an eye, the two had arrived in Qinhuangdao.

As you walk out of the station, a fresh sea breeze hits you in the face, like the warmest welcome from nature.

"Wow, is this Qinhuangdao? It's so beautiful!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaim.

Lu Yong took a deep breath and nodded: "Yes, the air here smells like the sea, which makes people feel relaxed and happy."

The two took a taxi straight to Shanhaiguan, which was their first stop and the most representative place in Qinhuangdao.

There was once a saying that described Shanhaiguan: "It is the key to the two capitals and the first pass of the Great Wall."

This couplet vividly describes the important position of Shanhaiguan.

It was already noon when we arrived at Shanhaiguan.

The sun shines on the ancient city wall, and the golden light and the blue bricks and stone tiles complement each other, as if telling the vicissitudes of a thousand years.

"Nana, look at this city tower, isn't it particularly imposing?" Lu Yong said, pointing to the city tower in front.

Hannah looked up and saw the towering city walls, majestic and magnificent. She nodded, "Yes, it really is like a witness to history, standing tall and unshakable."

The two of them couldn't wait to walk into the ancient city gate and began to climb the tower. Every step seemed to be on the track of history, and the heavy feeling made people feel awe.

Standing on the tower, the two looked out at the surrounding scenery. They saw the rolling mountains and surging waves, a magnificent scene in full view.

"Lu Yong, what do you think the ancient people would think when they stood here?" Hannah asked softly.

Lu Yong pondered for a moment, then said: "Maybe they will think about how to protect this land and how to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. After all, this is the starting point of the Great Wall and the border between the Central Plains and the border."

Hannah nodded, as if she could feel the weight and responsibility of history. She held Lu Yong's hand tightly, as if she wanted to shoulder this historical mission with him.

Then, they walked leisurely up the city wall to visit the Middle Drum Tower and Wangyang Tower. Each building is full of historical charm, making people feel as if they have traveled back to that era.

"Nana, look at this artillery tower, isn't it very distinctive?" Lu Yong said, pointing to a artillery tower.

Hannah looked carefully and saw the towering artillery tower with gun ports and observation towers. She nodded and said, "Yes, these buildings are very defensive and reflect the wisdom and courage of the ancients."

Walking along the city wall, the two also discovered many interesting details. For example, the blue bricks and stones on the city wall are huge and heavy, as if they can withstand any attack. And the enemy towers, corner towers and artillery towers form a complete defense system, which makes people have to sigh at the ingenuity of the ancients.

"Lu, I think these buildings are really amazing!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaim.

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Yes, these buildings are not only of historical value, but also treasures of our national culture. Every time I see them, I feel a deep sense of pride."

The two stayed in Shanhaiguan for a long time, as if they wanted to imprint every corner of the place in their minds. They took photos and checked in, leaving behind one beautiful memory after another.

When the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the city wall, the two finally left Shanhaiguan.

But their hearts were filled with satisfaction and joy, as if the experience of this day was enough for them to savor for a long, long time.

After leaving Shanhaiguan, the two naturally did not forget to taste the surrounding snacks.

As a coastal city, seafood is naturally indispensable to Qinhuangdao.

They came to a snack street and saw a dazzling array of seafood that was dizzying.

"Wow, these seafood look so fresh!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaim.

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Yes, the seafood here is all caught on the same day, so it's very fresh. Let's try it!"

So the two of them started to feast.

They ate grilled crab, scallops and cuttlefish, each of which was extremely delicious and left a lasting impression.

"Lu Yong, this grilled crab is so delicious!" Hannah said while eating.

Lu Yong nodded: "This crab meat is very tender and tastes great."

In addition to seafood, the two also tasted Qinhuangdao's specialty fruit - Changli honey pear.

This pear is golden in color, delicate and juicy in texture, sweet and crispy, and delicious, making it unforgettable once you try it.

"Wow, this honey pear is so sweet!" Hannah took a bite of the honey pear and a satisfied expression appeared on her face.

Lu Yong also tasted it and nodded: "This honey pear is really delicious, and it also has the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving coughs."

The two of them ate and chatted, enjoying this rare leisure and comfort.

When night falls, the snack street is already brightly lit and bustling with people.

Lu Yong and Hannah had almost finished their meal, so they decided to try some Qinhuangdao's specialty wine - Changli dry red wine.

In a wine shop, the two tasted a variety of Changli dry red wines, each of which was bright in color, fragrant, and mellow in taste.

"Lu Yong, this wine is delicious!" Hannah said after taking a sip.

Lu Yong nodded and said with a smile: "Changli's wine is famous. Every drop contains the essence of nature and the ingenuity of the winemaker."

The two of them drank wine and chatted, as if they wanted to freeze this beautiful moment forever.

When the bottle was empty, their faces flushed, a flush of happiness, a flush of love. (End of this chapter)
