Chapter 35: Canton Tower
The company is very close to the Canton Tower, and the car will soon arrive at the square under the tower.
Everyone was surprised and shocked to see the Canton Tower, which is taller, more beautiful and more modern than the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Peter and the other six technical men changed their original restraint and turned on the crazy selfie mode, with the Canton Tower as the background, posing in various poses, and deliberately showing various expressions of excitement or surprise on their faces, some of which were very exaggerated and funny.
Rose was also very excited and took a lot of photos, but she was smart enough to show her happiest and most beautiful side when she took pictures, rather than a funny look on her eyebrows.
Rose asked him to take several group photos of the seven of them, then asked a foreign tourist to take several group photos of the eight of them, and finally she asked Peter to take several separate photos of her and Xu Xincheng.
Everyone played under the tower for about 30 minutes.
Xu Xincheng bought a ticket and took them up to the tower, and the eight of them went to the indoor sightseeing floors on the 107th and 108th floors.
Today's weather is very good, there was a thunderstorm at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and at this moment the clouds are light and the wind is light, the sun is shining, the visibility is very high, and you can overlook the whole city center here.
Everyone is amazed by the prosperity and modernity of Guangzhou, and is full of praise for the beauty and beauty of the flower city.
He introduced them to various famous buildings and various famous attractions.
About an hour later, they went to the viewing platform at the top of the tower, took a spin on the platform, and then rode the Ferris wheel together.
The Ferris wheel is his favorite project, when the crystal sightseeing capsule slowly moves around the inclined elliptical track on the top of the tower, the person sitting in the cabin can overlook the whole view of the center of Guangzhou with a 360-degree view, you can see the beautiful and wide Pearl River, you can see the opening ceremony of the Asian Games Haixinsha, you can see the high-rise Zhujiang New Town, you can see the Huacheng Square and the surrounding skyscrapers, and you can also see the Baiyun Mountain in the distance.
When the sightseeing pod turns to the west, the sunset slowly sets on the horizon, the afterglow of the setting sun dyes the sky red, the gorgeous red glow spreads half of the sky, and the Guangzhou under the red glow is as beautiful as a dream.
Xu Xincheng deliberately calculated this time to ride the Ferris wheel, and he wanted them to see the stunning scenery of Guangzhou at sunset.
Rose, Peter, and the others were so mesmerized by the sight that Rose exclaimed, "Oh, my goodness!" It’s so beautiful!” ("Oh my God! it's so beautiful here!")
All sorts of words were shouted from the mouths of Peter and others, "marvelous", "amazing", "fantastic", "sensational", "incredible", "fabulous...... ("Incredible", "Amazing", "Wonderful", "Wonderful", "Incredible", "Incredible"...... )
It was the first time he had heard so many English adjectives to describe beautiful things at the same time.
Out of the Ferris wheel, Rose proposed that everyone take the "Extreme Sky" jumping machine.
The Canton Tower has several of the world's best, one of which is the world's tallest horizontal Ferris wheel they just rid, with a height of 450 meters.
The second is the world's tallest jumping machine.
Mounted on the antenna mast of the Canton Tower, with a minimum of 455 meters and a maximum of 485 meters, the jumping machine is the world's highest vertical downhill event, listed in the Guinness Book of World Records, and specifically named the "Highest Thrill Ride" by the Guinness Council.
Heo has never been the kind of person who likes to pursue thrills through extreme adventure games or sports, and no matter how much Rose tries to persuade him, he is unmoved. Eventually, at Rose's instigation, Josh, David, and Jogesh sat with her on a four-seater jumping machine.
Then, at the top of the Canton Tower, the screams of the four of them sounded.
After the four of them got off the jumping machine, Jogesh, who was sitting for the first time, was so uncomfortable that his face turned blue and he couldn't stand steadily.
Rose, on the other hand, was not unusual, but became more and more excited, and she encouraged everyone to do it again, and said that this time they would try the standing pose.
The standing style is a feature here, and they have never seen a jumping machine in other places, let alone tried it. At her urging, Josh and David decided to try again.
Rose also asked Xu Xincheng to help ask the staff if they had any other styles, such as horizontal and inverted.
This really surprised him, and at the same time felt a little funny, thinking that she was really not afraid of heaven and earth, and full of creativity, she came up with such an idea beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and even wanted to play new tricks and new ideas when playing the jumping machine.
He smiled and asked her, "You are just kidding, right?" ("You're kidding, aren't you?")
Rose said seriously, "No. I am serious.” ("It's not.") I'm serious. ”)
He was a little ridiculous and reluctantly agreed. When he translated her question to the two staff members, they were amused and said that she had a good idea, but they couldn't do it here for the time being.
Then, at the top of the Canton Tower, the screams of Rose, Josh and David rang out again.
The end of the second time.
Josh and David grinned, but their faces were a little pale and a little scared. Rose's delicate fair face glowed red, and her turquoise eyes were full of light, apparently immersed in the thrilling experience she had just had.
Xu Xincheng noticed that the top two buttons of her shirt had been loosened, and he quickly looked into her eyes, and at the same time pulled the collar of his shirt with his right hand, and Rose immediately understood.
Seeing that she understood what he meant, he immediately turned and walked away, to Jogesh, who was still slumped on the steps, gasping for air, and asked him if he was feeling better.
He covered his chest with his right hand and said with a look of fear on his face, "Oh! My god! I was so terrified just now! It was really horrible.” ("Oh my God! I was really scared just now! it was horrible!")
“Come on, Jogesh, it’s one of the most exciting and fun experiences we can have in this world!” ("Don't say that, Jogesh, it's one of the most exciting and fun experiences we can have in this world!") Rose laughs.
She came to everyone, and the two buttons were already fastened.
Xu Xincheng shook his head helplessly, smiled and joked with her: "So, you mean, you want to do it one more time?" ("You mean, you'd like to do it again?")
Rose looked at everyone with a smile, some of the six quickly waved their hands, and some quickly shook their heads, all indicating that they would not play.
Only then did she smile and say, "Well, it's enough for me too." ("Well, I've had enough, too.") ”)
---------
Seeing that everyone was already satisfied, Xu Xincheng took everyone out of the top of the tower.
It's 7:25 p.m., and when it's time for dinner, he leads everyone to the French revolving restaurant on the 105th floor to enjoy a sumptuous French buffet dinner with them.
This is the third largest restaurant in the world and the world's tallest revolving restaurant in the Canton Tower, with a height of 424 meters.
The seven of them were naturally praising the food, but what surprised them the most was that the middle of the restaurant, where their table was located, slowly rotated around the axis of the Canton Tower, and while they enjoyed the food, they could enjoy the beautiful night view of Guangzhou in 360 degrees.
When everyone took their seats, Rose sat to the right of Xu Xincheng, and she chatted with him with great interest and asked him many questions.
Unlike Peter, who kept eating and gobbling up, Xu Xincheng only took a moderate amount of food, and ate it slowly, savoring every bite of food slowly and methodically.
Rose asked him why he didn't take more and eat more, and he said that it was his habit of eating, usually only seven points full, not at most eight points, and he always chewed slowly, even when eating a buffet, he would stick to this habit.
Rose then asked how he managed to control himself in the face of such a delicacy.
He said he could understand why most people would desperately eat at the buffet, and did some analysis.
First, the psychology of love taking advantage. When eating a buffet, most people will feel that if they pay the same amount of money, they will lose if they eat less, and only the more they eat, the more they will take advantage of it. However, this is only a superficial reason.
Second, the most fundamental reason is that we human beings, in the course of millions of years of evolution, have been in a state of hunger most of the time. This gluttonous behavior pattern has long been written into our human genes.
But he argues that we have already evolved and developed a human rationality, which we can use to restrain our irrational behavior if we are willing and fully mobilize our rationality.
If our rationality is strong enough, we can use it to restrain the gluttony patterns that have been written into our genes, and we can use it to overcome other animal behaviors such as laziness and selfishness.
Rose listened very attentively, nodded frequently, and she said to him very seriously: "Steve, I think you are absolutely right about you just said, I totally agree." ("Steve, I think what you just said is completely correct, and I couldn't agree more.") ”)
She paused, her emerald eyes glinting with appreciation, and added, "And, you are very different." ("Also, you're really different.") ”)
---------
The last arrangement for tonight is to take a night cruise on the Pearl River.
After dinner, Xu Xincheng led everyone down the tower, walked along the Pearl River to the dock where he boarded, boarded a three-story large pleasure boat at the pier, and came to the top of the cruise ship.
From the bottom of the tower to the tower, from the indoor sightseeing floor to the top of the tower, from riding the Ferris wheel to playing the jumping machine, from dining in the revolving restaurant to taking a night cruise on the Pearl River, Peter and the seven of them took various selfies and admired the whole process.
Their expressions of joy, surprise and excitement were palpable, and the photos and videos they posted on social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other platforms won crazy likes from friends and family.
Thinking that thousands of miles away in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and other places, there are tens of thousands of people enjoying the beautiful photos and videos of Guangzhou, Xu Xincheng is very happy, he thinks: "Today, while completing the work satisfactorily, I have also made some contributions to the publicity and promotion of Guangzhou, which I love deeply. ”
Tonight in Guangzhou, the sky is clear, the night sky is deep and vast, and the stars are dotted.
The cruise ship is running on the wide Pearl River, and the cool breeze blows, which makes people feel quite comfortable and comfortable.
On the side of the Pearl River, under the soft and charming night, the Canton Tower is like a dancing fair girl, she wears a long dress with colorful neon lights, dancing on the stage on the south bank of the Pearl River, her dreamlike dress is constantly changing various colors and patterns, adding a colorful and charming brilliance to the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Pearl River, making people's mood as brilliant and cheerful as the brilliant colorful neon light.
