【Chapter 395】 Ice and Snow World
After two consecutive days of heavy snowfall, the entire Ginkgo Village and even the Jinghu area have become a world of ice and snow, covered in silver, like a snow-white and pure fairy tale world!
Xiao Feng immediately announced the photos of the snow scene taken by Zhu Xing on the official website of 'Jinghu Scenic Area' and other online platforms, and counted down the opening time of 'Jinghu Ski Resort'!
Soon, some out-of-town tourists and netizens who paid attention to the Jinghu Scenic Area and Ginkgo Village discovered the picturesque scenery and went to Ginkgo Village for a vacation.
The bad weather did not stop the enthusiasm of the tourists, and on the 23rd, a large number of skiers and photographers arrived at Ginkgo Village one after another by various means of transportation. According to the number of visitors to the 'Jinghu Scenic Area' Visitor Reception Center, more than 3,000 tourists stayed on this day, which is close to the usual passenger flow.
The heavy snow did not make the Jinghu Scenic Area fall into a 'shortage of passengers', but ushered in a new boom!
In order to better serve tourists, the Jinghu Scenic Area and the Ginkgo Village Committee have launched the 'Snow Season Strategy', and special means of transportation such as 'horse-drawn sleigh' have reappeared in the rivers and lakes. And all the restaurants are also based on the actual situation, launching a variety of delicacies, including spicy hot pot, which makes tourists linger!
In a sense, Ginkgo Village in winter may seem like a lot less fun, but in fact, it's much more playable and has a unique charm!
…………
When Pan Shi, Liu Xin and others arrived at Yaozhou Airport, the sun was shining here, but it was in Ginkgo Village at this time. But shrouded in a snowstorm.
Because the Jinghu Company was notified in advance, Yang Yuanhang specially sent a minibus to pick up the airport. The chic snow scenes along the way made Pan Shi and others feel refreshed!
In fact, Pan Shi and others, who have lived in Beiping for a long time, are no strangers to snow scenes. Just these days, there is a heavy snow in Beiping that covers the whole city, but the snow scene in Beiping is really a little unelegant compared to Ginkgo Village!
In the north, the snowfall is extremely polluted due to the emission of automobile exhaust and industrial exhaust gases, and most of the snowfall is gray or even black.
Immaculate snow is always pleasant, but with a variety of dirty colors. It doesn't bring pleasant feelings.
Because of this, the continuous snow peaks in northwest Yunnan let Pan Shi and others appreciate the rugged style of the plateau and get closer to the breath of nature.
It is not the first time that Pan Shi and others have come to Ginkgo Village, but almost every time they come, every season, it can present a different charm, and without exception, it is fascinating.
…………
Like Pan Shi and others, when other tourists got off the bus in Ginkgo Village, they were also amazed by the white and flawless world in front of them. A breathtaking beauty rushes to the face!
In order to better receive tourists, the Jinghu Scenic Area and the Ginkgo Village Village Committee have spent a lot of effort to make a large number of snow and ice sculptures in the traffic arteries and key areas in the scenic area, making it a unique scenery of the scenic spot.
Especially at night. After the lanterns inside these snow and ice sculptures are turned on, the entire Ginkgo Village and Jinghu Scenic Area are shrouded in a psychedelic color, which is impressive!
Of course. What made Pan Shi and others even more surprised was that the 'Jinghu Ski Resort' was officially opened to the public on the morning of the 24th. Their main goal of coming to Ginkgo Village has finally been achieved!
Almost as soon as the ski resort opened, Pan Shi's group of people were dressed neatly. Rushed into the ski slopes and began to warm up.
Compared to last year's small scale with only a few ski slopes, this year's 'Jinghu Ski Resort' will be able to accommodate at least three times as many tourists at the same time after the second phase of the project is launched!
The sharp-eyed Pan Shi can even see the top of the new ropeway, which should be a 'Black Diamond Ski Trail' with the highest level of difficulty, which may be the highest level ski run in China, there is no one!
Even Pan Shi did not dare to try this kind of most difficult ski trail lightly, after all, the leap difference of more than ten meters and the cliff of nearly 90 degrees put forward the most stringent requirements for the technique, physical fitness and courage of skiers.
In Pan Shi's opinion, perhaps only a top player like Xiao Feng can complete the whole process of this 'alpine downhill' track smoothly!
…………
After a good morning in the ski resort, Pan Shi and the others were tired and sweaty, but the fresh air and the excitement brought by high-speed skiing still made them feel that the trip was worthwhile! Some time ago, Pan Shi and others also organized several activities in the ski resort near Beiping, but the difficulty of the ski slopes there was too low, and they felt a little unfinished.
It's a pity that the 'Mirror Lake Ski Resort' is only available for less than three months, which is a huge pity!
After cleaning up their mood, Pan Shi and the others sat on the horse-drawn sleigh while talking and laughing, while enjoying the snow scene on the side of the road, and returned to the village!
After the heavy snow closed the mountain, the main means of transportation for villagers and tourists was changed to 'horse-drawn sleigh', which is a unique, safe and comfortable way of travel, and is very popular with people.
If it was replaced by the past, the horses used in horse-drawn sledding were still a little difficult to find, but now the Jinghu Ranch has raised a large number of southern Yunnan ponies, which can be ridden by tourists in normal times, and it has become a source of power for sledding in winter!
It can be said that today's Jinghu Scenic Area has considered every detail, and the phenomenon of waste of resources is basically impossible!
"Stone, go skiing so early?" When the sleigh passed by Xiao's dam, Xiao Feng, who was decorating the snow sculpture with Nini, greeted Pan Shi with a smile.
Speaking of which, Xiao Feng is several years younger than Pan Shi, but because Pan Shi is younger than Xu Mengyao, he now has to call Xiao Feng his 'brother-in-law' in terms of seniority, so Xiao Feng is also an elder with peace of mind.
After Pan Shi and the others arrived in Ginkgo Village yesterday, they immediately went to the Xiao family's old mansion to ask General Xu, Xu Xiangnan and others to say goodbye, and Xiao Feng knew something about the whereabouts of several of them.
"It's nothing, it's good to exercise!" Although Pan Shi felt a little awkward, he still said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, when you go to try a difficult alpine downhill track, we can also open our eyes!"
Facing Xiao Feng, Pan Shi always had an indescribable feeling, after all, Xiao Feng's rise was too fast.
Last year, Pan Shi, who was worth no less than 2 billion RMB, was also a member of the Forbes rich list, although he was ranked low, it did not prevent him from having a psychological advantage in front of Xiao Feng. But in just one year, Xiao Feng has become a billionaire and entered the top 25 of the mainland's rich list, and this position will be greatly improved next year.
What's more, the grand occasion of Xiao Feng's wedding was also seen by Pan Shi, knowing that Xiao Feng had a special status in the eyes of the high-level of the republic, which was incomparable to ordinary people.
Therefore, Pan Shi's posture in front of Xiao Feng is very low now, which is also a kind of wisdom for him to deal with the world.
"It's been two days!" Xiao Feng nodded and said, "That track still needs some processing, and I'll notify you when I try it!"
Pan Shi's change in attitude is naturally seen in Xiao Feng's eyes, but Xiao Feng will not despise Pan Shi because of this, but will look down on him because of this!
"Stone, come up for coffee in the afternoon!" At this time, in the corridor on the second floor of the old mansion, Xu Mengyao sent an invitation to Pan Shi and the others for afternoon tea.
Speaking of which, Xu Mengyao, like ordinary girls, is keen on the lifestyle of 'afternoon tea', but the conditions in Ginkgo Village are not enough. In the past, she could go to Mu Jin's 'Colorful Sunshine' to sit down, but as soon as it snowed, her movements were highly restricted by the elderly at home, and she was trapped in the old mansion most of the time.
Now that Pan Shi has come to Ginkgo Village, Xu Mengyao naturally wants to make some coffee at home, and invite Pan Shi, Liu Xin, Xiao Wang and others to come over and be lively!
"That's okay!" Pan Shi dared to have any objections to the eldest sister's arrangement, and hurriedly nodded and said: "We have ordered lunch at 'Drunken Hongchen', and come up after eating!"
After chatting for a while, Pan Shi and the others returned to the 'Drunken Hongchen' Inn, and Xiao Feng had to end the interaction time with Nini's father and daughter, and obediently returned to the living room on the second floor of the old mansion, making various preparations for afternoon tea under the command of Xu Mengyao.
In fact, Xu Mengyao initiated this afternoon tea, and Xiao Feng can vaguely detect some of the reasons, but now he has no position to oppose it, anyway, as long as his wife is happy, who calls her the biggest now?
Since getting married, especially since she became pregnant, Xu Mengyao has become very similar to the housewives in the village, keen to match the people around her, and gossip a lot.
Inviting Pan Shi to come to the house for afternoon tea today is definitely not so simple.
Sure enough, after a while, his wife called Mu Jin and asked her to make some refreshments, milk tea and other things to bring to the old mansion.
Speaking of which, Mu Jin's conditions are also good, whether it is physical appearance, academic qualifications or financial freedom, she is among the best among girls of her age, but Pan Shi and others are all super diamond kings, and they may not be able to take a fancy to Mu Jin.
His wife wanted to toss, but Xiao Feng had no choice but to fully cooperate and act as a coolie, as for the opposition, he naturally couldn't say anything.
At half past three in the afternoon, Mu Jin arrived first with a basket of refreshments and milk tea, followed by Pan Shi, Liu Xin and others, and after a while, the living room on the second floor became much more lively.
At this time, it began to snow outside again, and the house was warm like spring, but it formed a stark contrast, and the steaming coffee and milk tea made people intoxicated! (To be continued......
