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

The blue sky and white clouds of Dali and the scenery of Erhai Lake are still vivid in their minds, but Lu Yong and Hannah have already embarked on a new journey.

Their destination is Yangzhou, a city with a long history and profound cultural heritage.

On the plane, the two couldn't wait to plan their itinerary for Yangzhou. Their curiosity and anticipation for the unknown were like the rising sun, warm and hot.

The plane slowly landed at Yangzhou Airport. Lu Yong and Hannah walked out of the airport with their luggage, and a warm breath of Jiangnan hit them. They smiled at each other, their eyes flashing with longing for this city. After placing their luggage at the hotel, the two couldn't wait to embark on a journey to explore Yangzhou's food.

As the night deepened and the lights came on, Yangzhou's snack street looked particularly lively. Lu Yong and Hannah strolled among the bustling crowd, hearing the constant hawking of vendors and smelling the aroma of various delicacies, as if they were at a grand food feast.

"Yong, look at that!" Hannah pointed to a roadside stall, her eyes sparkling with excitement. It was a stall selling Huangqiao sesame cakes. The golden sesame cakes looked particularly tempting under the light. The surface was baked crispy and filled with stuffing, including meat floss, ham, dried shrimp, etc., each of which exuded an enticing aroma.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded, and the two walked to the stall and bought a Huangqiao sesame cake each. With a light bite, the crispy crust broke in the mouth, and the delicious fillings instantly bloomed in the mouth. The delicious meat floss, the mellow ham, and the sweet shrimp intertwined together to form an indescribable deliciousness.

"Wow, this pancake is so delicious!" Hannah praised it while eating it. There were still some pancake crumbs on the corners of her mouth, which made her look particularly cute.

Lu Yong smiled and helped her wipe the crumbs from the corners of her mouth. The two of them ate and chatted while continuing to look for the next target on the snack street. Soon, they were attracted by a soup dumpling shop. The skin of the soup dumpling was as thin as paper. With a light bite, the soup flowed out. The meat filling was so delicious that it seemed to be able to make eyebrows fall off.

"Be careful when eating this." Lu Yong reminded Hannah, and then he took a small bite and sipped the soup. The delicious taste made him squint his eyes.

Hannah followed Lu Yong's example and carefully took a small bite of the soup. She took a sip of the soup and her eyes lit up immediately: "Wow, this soup is so delicious!"

The two of them ate and talked, enjoying this rare food time. Then, they tasted Yangzhou hot dried shredded pork, thousand-layer oil cakes, and salted goose meat, each of which made them praise it highly. Especially the hot dried shredded pork, which was as thin as a hair and had a smooth texture. It was delicious when paired with the special sauce.

"Yong, how come people in Yangzhou are so good at eating?" Hannah sighed while eating.

Lu Yong smiled and said, "This is probably the charm of Yangzhou. In addition to the scenery, the food of a city is also indispensable. Through the food, we can have a deeper understanding of the culture and life of this city."

The two walked and ate, and unknowingly reached the end of the snack street. At this moment, a familiar aroma came to their noses, that was the aroma of Yangzhou fried rice. Lu Yong and Hannah smiled at each other, as if they had telepathy, and walked towards the stall selling Yangzhou fried rice at the same time.

The Yangzhou fried rice is delicious, with distinct rice grains and various vegetables, meat and seafood. It looks mouth-watering. Lu Yong and Hannah ordered one each and couldn't wait to taste it. The taste is simply amazing! The fragrant and glutinous rice, the fresh vegetables, the delicious meat and the sweet seafood are perfectly blended together to form an indescribable deliciousness.

"This Yangzhou fried rice is so delicious!" Hannah exclaimed as she ate, a satisfied smile on her face.

Lu Yong also nodded: "Yes, it is worthy of being Yangzhou's signature delicacy. This trip to Yangzhou is really worth it!"

The two ate and talked, enjoying this rare gourmet time. After a night, their stomachs were full, but their love and satisfaction for food made them feel extremely happy.

"Yong, where do you think we should go tomorrow?" Hannah leaned on Lu Yong's shoulder and asked softly.

Lu Yong thought for a moment and said, "Yangzhou has so many beautiful sights, such as Slender West Lake, Ge Garden, He Garden... every one of them is worth a visit."

"Well, let's go to Slender West Lake tomorrow," Hannah suggested. "I heard the scenery there is very beautiful, and there are many historical stories."

Lu Yong nodded: "Okay, that's settled. We'll set out early tomorrow morning to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yangzhou."

The two smiled at each other and walked back to the hotel hand in hand.

That night, they slept particularly soundly, as if even their dreams were filled with the aroma of Yangzhou delicacies.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the room through the curtains, Lu Yong and Hannah had already opened their eyes.

They quickly washed up and went to the hotel restaurant.

In the restaurant, the aroma of breakfast filled the air, making people salivate. Lu Yong and Hannah each chose a nutritious breakfast and talked about their plans for today while eating. Their destination was the famous Slender West Lake in Yangzhou, a place full of classical charm and water village style.

"Yong, do you think Suzhou's West Lake will be as beautiful as in the paintings?" Hannah's eyes were sparkling with curiosity and anticipation. She bit the bread gently, as if she couldn't wait to see the beautiful scenery.

Lu Yong smiled, his eyes also full of expectation: "Of course I will. I heard that the beauty of Slender West Lake is the kind of beauty that makes people linger. Especially in the early morning, the light is soft, and the lake reflects the sky and trees, just like an ink painting."

After breakfast, the two drove to Slender West Lake. Along the way, the scenery outside the car window flashed by like a movie, but they had only one thought in their minds - to see the legendary beauty as soon as possible.

Finally, the car stopped at the entrance of Slender West Lake. Lu Yong and Hannah walked into the scenic area hand in hand, as if they had walked into a whole new world. The Slender West Lake in front of them was even more beautiful than they had imagined. The lake was sparkling, as if it was covered with countless diamonds, shining brightly in the morning sun. The green trees were shady, and the breeze blew, and the leaves rustled, as if welcoming their arrival.

"Wow, it's so beautiful here!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaim, her eyes flashing with surprise and excitement.

Lu Yong held her hand tightly and said with a smile: "Yes, it is indeed beautiful here. However, we have only seen the tip of the iceberg. The real Slender West Lake is still waiting for us inside."

The two strolled along the path by the lake, enjoying the tranquility and beauty. In the early morning, there were not many tourists in the Slender West Lake, and only the occasional bird song and the sound of oars paddling in the distance broke the tranquility. But it was this tranquility that made Lu Yong and Hannah cherish this moment together even more.

They walked to the Shili Pavilion, which was an antique pavilion that seemed to tell a thousand-year-old story. Lu Yong and Hannah sat in the pavilion, looking at the beautiful scenery of the lake, their hearts full of emotion.

"Yong, do you think we can be like this ten-mile long pavilion, going through a thousand years of wind and rain and still be together?" Hannah suddenly asked, her eyes flashing with affection and determination.

Lu Yong was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Of course, as long as our hearts are together, no matter how many storms we go through, we can stand firm like this ten-mile pavilion."

The two smiled at each other, as if at this moment, they were more resolute in their commitment to each other. Afterwards, they continued to stroll along the shore of Slender West Lake, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way. At each scenic spot, Lu Yong would patiently explain to Hannah the historical stories and cultural connotations behind it, and Hannah listened with great interest, raising her own opinions and questions from time to time. Soon, they came to the White Pagoda. The White Pagoda towered into the clouds, as if it was the guardian of the sky, quietly overlooking the land. Lu Yong and Hannah stood under the tower, looking up at this majestic building, their hearts filled with awe.

"Yong, do you think we can climb to the top of the tower and take a look?" Hannah suddenly suggested, with an adventurous gleam in her eyes.

Lu Yong thought about it and nodded: "Okay, but climbing a tower is a physical job. Are you sure you want to challenge it?"

Hannah smiled: "Of course, with you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything."

The two smiled at each other and began to climb the White Pagoda. The stairs were steep, but they were not afraid. They encouraged and supported each other and finally climbed to the top of the tower. Standing on the top of the tower, they could see the beautiful scenery of the entire Slender West Lake, as if a magnificent landscape painting was unfolding before their eyes.

"Wow, it's so beautiful here!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaim again, her eyes flashing with excitement and joy.

Lu Yong hugged her tightly and said with a smile: "It is indeed beautiful here. But you know what? The most beautiful thing is actually to see this beautiful scenery with you."

Hannah's cheeks flushed slightly, and she snuggled in Lu Yong's arms, enjoying the happiness and romance of this moment. The two stood quietly on the top of the tower, as if time had frozen at this moment.

After an unknown amount of time, the two reluctantly left the White Pagoda and continued their journey to the Slender West Lake. They strolled along the path by the lake, admiring every beautiful scene along the way. Whenever they saw a particularly beautiful scene, they would stop and use their cameras to record the beauty of the moment.

"Yong, what do you think of this angle?" Hannah said, pointing to a reflection on the lake.

Lu Yong looked at it and nodded: "Not bad, this angle is very artistic. Stand over there and I'll take a picture of you."

Hannah walked over excitedly and posed, while Lu Yong picked up the camera, adjusted the angle and light, and pressed the shutter.

With a "click", the beauty of this moment was forever captured in the photo.

The two walked and took photos like this, and before they knew it, they had been walking for a whole morning. Although they were a little tired, their hearts were full of satisfaction and happiness. They knew that this trip to Slender West Lake would become one of the most beautiful memories in their lives.

At noon, the two came to an antique restaurant. In the restaurant, Yangzhou's specialties were in full bloom, making people salivate. Lu Yong and Hannah each chose a favorite lunch and tasted the food culture of Yangzhou.

"Yong, what do you think of Yangzhou's food?" Hannah asked while eating.

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Very good. Yangzhou's cuisine is very distinctive and tastes unique. Especially the lion's head, which is tender and delicious. It is simply irresistible."

Hannah also nodded: "Yes, I also like Yangzhou's food. Especially this Yangzhou fried rice, which is delicious and tasty. It is simply amazing."

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

After lunch, they decided to continue visiting other attractions in Slender West Lake.

This time, they chose a more special way - a boat tour.

They came to the lake and rented a boat. Lu Yong was in charge of rowing, while Hannah sat at the bow, admiring the beautiful scenery of the lake. As the boat slowly moved forward, the unique style of Slender West Lake slowly unfolded before their eyes.

The scenery on the lake is completely different from that on land. The water is sparkling, as if countless pearls are jumping. The mountains in the distance, the trees nearby, and the clouds in the sky are all reflected in the lake, forming a beautiful picture.

"Yong, look at that!" Hannah suddenly shouted, pointing at a scenic spot in the distance.

Lu Yong looked in the direction of her finger and saw an antique pavilion that looked like it came out of a painting. He smiled and said, "That's the Wuting Bridge, one of the landmark buildings of Slender West Lake. Let's row over and take a look."

The two smiled at each other and began to row towards the Wuting Bridge. As the boat got closer and closer, the majesty and exquisiteness of the Wuting Bridge gradually appeared before their eyes. The five pavilions were arranged in an orderly manner, as if the stars in the sky had fallen to the earth.

When the boat finally stopped under the Wuting Bridge, Lu Yong and Hannah could not help but exclaim in amazement. They looked up at this majestic building, their hearts filled with awe and emotion.

"Yong, can we go up?" Hannah suggested again.

Lu Yong thought about it and nodded: "Okay, but be careful when you go up."

The two climbed up the Wuting Bridge carefully and stood on the bridge to look at the beautiful scenery around them. At this moment, they seemed to be in a beautiful ink painting and became a part of it.

"It's so beautiful here!" Hannah couldn't help but sigh again, "Yong, thank you for bringing me here."

Lu Yong smiled: "Silly, as long as you are happy, I am willing to do anything."

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if at this moment, their hearts were more closely connected.

They knew that this trip to Slender West Lake not only allowed them to appreciate the beautiful scenery and taste the delicious food, but also made them cherish each other more.

In the evening, the setting sun in the sky shines on the ancient city of Yangzhou like molten gold, giving the city a layer of warm glow.

Lu Yong and Hannah once again set foot on the familiar snack street, their hearts filled with infinite expectations for Yangzhou's traditional cuisine.

The snack street was brightly lit, bustling with people, and the aroma of various delicacies intertwined, forming an irresistible temptation. Lu Yong and Hannah walked hand in hand on the street, their eyes wandering between the stalls, looking for delicacies that could touch their taste buds. (End of this chapter)
