I returned to my hometown after winning the koi lottery.

Li Fugui and Xiao Tao's dream honeymoon trip to Europe is about to begin. They have already completed the formalities. This time, it is truly a world for the two of them, where they can let loose and be sweet. Li Fugui arranged for Xiao Tao's European visa in advance.

Before departing for Europe, obtaining a passport and a Schengen visa are crucial first steps. A Schengen visa, issued by any of the 29 Schengen countries, grants legal travel to all other member states within the valid period. Generally speaking, among popular tourist destinations like France, Germany, and Italy, Germany has the highest rejection rate, while Spain is relatively easy to issue.

Li Fugui and Xiao Taojie stood at the gate of their courtyard, the morning light gently shining on them, they were full of joy, the neatly stacked suitcases beside them were filled with longing and expectation for their honeymoon trip to Europe in the next ten days.

You can choose to fly direct or via a connecting flight from Shanghai to Paris.

Direct flights are typically operated by airlines such as China Eastern Airlines and Air France. They typically depart from Shanghai Pudong International Airport and arrive at Paris Charles de Gaulle International Airport, with a flight time of approximately 12 hours 30 minutes to 12 hours 35 minutes.

If you choose a connecting flight, you can transfer in cities such as Moscow, Dubai, Istanbul, and Hong Kong. For example, the total outbound journey time for an Aeroflot flight with a transfer in Moscow is approximately 14 hours; the journey time for a China Southern Airlines flight with a transfer in Guangzhou is approximately 15 hours and 55 minutes.

The general process for flying is as follows: You must book your flight in advance and arrive at Shanghai Pudong International Airport or Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport 2 to 3 hours before departure.

After arriving at the airport, find the check-in counter of the corresponding airline to check in, check in your luggage and collect your boarding pass.

Then go through security and enter the waiting area. You can pay attention to flight status while waiting.

After boarding, please take your seat according to the flight attendant's instructions and comply with the onboard regulations during the flight.

Upon arrival at Paris Charles de Gaulle International Airport, follow the signs to customs and immigration. You can then leave the airport after collecting your luggage.

Zhang Bei took Xiao Xing and drove them to Shanghai, where there was a direct flight from Shanghai to Paris.

Along the way, Sister Xiao Tao opened the live broadcast room with a smile and said, "My dears, Li Fugui and I are embarking on a dream journey from Shanghai to Paris!"

Sister Xiaotao was sitting in the waiting hall, continuing her live broadcast with a smile. Hello everyone, now I feel like there is a little rabbit in my heart, jumping non-stop.

The waiting hall was bustling with people, but my thoughts had already drifted to the romantic city thousands of miles away. The thought of wandering through the streets and alleys of Paris, experiencing the majesty of the Eiffel Tower, the mystery of the Louvre, and the leisurely banks of the Seine, filled my heart with anticipation.

Look! This boarding gate is like the entrance to a fairy tale world. Every second of waiting increases my excitement.

At this time, Sister Xiao Tao's excitement was beyond words. She smiled at the camera while walking!

Finally we boarded the plane. After finding our seats, Sister Tao gave Li Fugui an order, "Now you are my photographer. Turn on the flight mode and record it for me. I will organize it carefully when we get back to Paris."

As the plane slowly took off, the prosperity of Shanghai gradually faded away under his feet. Li Fugui first took a picture of the plane taking off from the window, and then signaled Sister Xiaotao to start the introduction. Sister Xiaotao started with great enthusiasm and said to the camera, "My adventure has officially begun."

Then Li Fugui's camera turned and through the porthole, the snow-white clouds were within reach. Xiao Taojie's voiceover introduced that the sea of ​​clouds seemed soft and fluffy, and she really wanted to reach out and grab a handful.

A flight of more than ten hours sounds long, but with my longing for Paris in my heart, I feel that time has become interesting.

Under Li Fugui's lens, the meals on the plane seemed to have a different flavor. Sister Xiao Tao was picturing the appearance of Paris in her mind while eating. There was a bit of anticipation on her face, and she was smiling the whole time.

Sister Xiaotao smiled at the camera and sweetly described her feelings!

Long-distance flights can also make you a little tired, but it doesn’t matter. Just close your eyes, imagine standing under the Eiffel Tower, hugging your loved one, or strolling on the Champs-Elysées, smelling the rich scent of perfume, and your fatigue will instantly disappear.

My friends around me were already fast asleep, but I couldn't bear to close my eyes. I stared out the small porthole, watching the sky change from bright to dark and then back to bright again, as if rehearsing the day and night in Paris that was about to begin.

I’m about to land in Paris, Charles de Gaulle Airport, here I come!

During this trip, I must pack up all the beautiful things and bring them home. When I return, I will share with you the wonderful moments of this exotic journey. Friends, wait for me to post beautiful photos!

Their first stop was the dream city - Paris, France.

The plane landed smoothly at Charles de Gaulle Airport. Li Fugui held Sister Xiao Tao's hand tightly and walked out of customs with the bustling crowd.

As soon as I stepped out of the airport, the unique romantic atmosphere of Paris hit me. Street cafes were scattered everywhere, all packed with people. People were leisurely savoring coffee, laughter and joy were intertwined in the air, and the mellow aroma of roasted coffee beans and the elegant scent of perfume were intertwined, weaving together my first impression of Paris.

After arriving at the hotel and taking a short rest, the two couldn't wait to rush to the Eiffel Tower.

Standing under the iron tower, Sister Xiao Tao couldn't help but look up. This towering steel tower reached into the sky and looked even more majestic against the backdrop of the clear blue sky.

Li Fugui smiled, gently put his arm around Sister Xiaotao's shoulders, bought two tickets to climb the tower, and walked into the elevator hand in hand.

As the elevator slowly ascends, the stunning scenery of Paris unfolds like a picture scroll. The winding Seine River flows gracefully through the city like a flowing ribbon. Ancient buildings stand side by side on the river, quietly telling legendary stories from the past.

Coming down from the Eiffel Tower, the two, still unsatisfied, strolled leisurely along the banks of the Seine.

The riverside second-hand book stalls were filled with a dazzling array of books. Li Fugui's eyes were attracted by a vintage collection of Parisian poetry. He picked it up gently. The paper was yellowed but exuded an ancient charm. The warm scene of reading love poems to Sister Xiao Tao every night emerged in his mind, and he decided to buy it immediately.

At night, Paris donned its glamorous evening attire. Li Fugui and Xiao Taojie arrived at a Michelin-starred restaurant, the candlelight flickering, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. Exquisite French delicacies arrived one after another: baked snails exuding freshness and fragrance, foie gras delicate and melt-in-your-mouth, and steak seared to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Paired with a rich, mellow Bordeaux red wine, every bite was a luxurious feast for the taste buds. Xiao Taojie's cheeks flushed as she met Li Fugui's gaze, the love in their eyes gleaming in the candlelight, brighter than the stars in the night sky.

The next morning, sunlight filtered through the gauze curtains, waking up the sweet couple.

They went to the Louvre, the world-famous art palace, with great anticipation.

Stepping into the museum is like traveling through time and space and stepping into the long river of art history.

There was a crowd of people in front of Mona Lisa's mysterious and charming smile. Li Fugui, with his tall stature, squeezed to the front row with Sister Xiao Tao with difficulty.

Sister Xiao Tao gazed at the painting closely and could not help but be impressed by Leonardo da Vinci's ingenious brushstrokes. The delicate and subtle depiction made the people in the painting seem to come alive, with a half-smile on their lips and deep and affectionate eyes, hiding endless stories.

Not far away, the statue of the Winged Victory of Samothrace stands proudly. Although incomplete, it exudes a shocking and powerful force. The flying skirt seems to dance in the wind, telling the glorious past of ancient Greece.

The two of them lingered in the various exhibition halls of the Louvre. From the humanistic brilliance of the Renaissance to the gorgeousness and unrestrainedness of the Baroque, from the rigorous and solemnity of classicism to the light and shadow fantasy of Impressionism, the stunning paintings and immortal sculptures were dazzling.

Here, time seems to stand still, and each piece of collection is a masterpiece created by artists with all their efforts and burning souls, making Li Fugui and Xiao Taojie immersed in it and forget the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

After leaving the Louvre, they strolled through the galleries on the streets of Paris.

In a small and cozy gallery, Sister Xiao Tao's eyes were instantly attracted by an oil painting depicting a sea of ​​flowers in Provence.

In the painting, large fields of lavender are blooming wantonly, the colors are as bright as the starry sky painted by Van Gogh, the brushstrokes are lively, and the breeze seems to be carrying the fragrance of flowers to your face.

Li Fugui took in Sister Xiao Tao's obsession, and quietly wrote down the painter's information, secretly planning to give her an unexpected surprise.

Then they took a train to Colmar, a fairy-tale town in southern France.

The train moved forward slowly. Outside the window, the vast sunflower fields were like a golden ocean, surging in the wind; the continuous vineyards were lush and green, and the bunches of plump grapes were as tempting as purple gems.

The pastoral scenery quickly recedes like a movie scene, like a flowing pastoral oil painting.

Colmar is like a town that came out of a fairy tale. The colorful timber-framed houses are built in an orderly manner along the water. The shadows of the houses are reflected on the crystal clear river surface, swaying gently with the waves, creating shimmering lights.
