Chapter 11 Xi'an Tour
Xi'an trip May 2005
Three years ago, in May, I took you out to Lijiang, and it was with despair and pain that I went through the danger of almost losing you twice, and almost got into a car accident. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I wasn't in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way, let alone carefully experience the local cultural customs. I want to start over with you and go to another city for real travel again. Because of the willful I went through that adventure with you, I felt more and more that you are precious to me, many times it is not me who is protecting you, but I am relying on you, and I am willing to live with you like this forever.
In May of this year, I set off with you again, and our destination is the ancient capital of Xi'an. This time, we are happy and excited because we have our own home this year, and you will be enrolled again in September; This time, we have booked a travel agency in advance, the itinerary has been planned, and we just need to browse the scenery and taste the food.
Along the way, you don't have to go into details. I took the train to Xi'an Station, and the square was crowded. A tall policeman maintained order, yelling at people to leave as soon as possible. The tour guide holding the flag of the travel agency was anxiously looking for us. I picked up my son and approached him, but before I could reach him, I saw that he was already carrying him with the police. The policeman yelled at him: "Get out, go outside to pick up the passengers!" The tour guide said, "We used to pick up tourists here!" "The two are about to fight. The people next to him were still coaxing. The policeman blackened his face and pushed the guide more than a meter away. I hurriedly called the name of the tour guide, and after the tour guide checked my identity information with me, he left with us scolding. The first time I saw the fiery temper of a man in the northwest, it was almost the same as that of a man in Chongqing, and I was really shocked. Afterwards, we gathered with other tourists and took a bus to taste the mutton steamed buns in Muslim Street. Help you break the steamed bun into the mutton soup, you finished a big bowl with relish, I tasted a little, I felt that the fishy smell was too strong, and I barely ate half a bowl to fill my stomach.
In the afternoon, after we played in the Big and Small Wild Goose Pagodas, we were free to move around at the clock tower of the square. The square is very wide, arranged in a square, with some flower stands in the middle, and most of the space is flat, and many elderly people and children are flying kites. Looking up, under the blue sky in the northwest, various long and short types of kites flutter in the wind, red, yellow, white and green, colorful, and beautiful. Centipedes, pandas, golden monkeys and other animals also went to the sky and got along with eagles and dragons. Sometimes the wind suddenly gets stronger, and the pandas will tease the eagles, and if you catch me and peck at each other, they will get entangled with each other, and their owners will try their best to tear off the kite string. If it is torn apart, it will go up in another direction and face the wind, otherwise it will fall to the ground with both defeats. You can't take your eyes off it, yelling to fly a kite. Bought a dragon kite for you, this kite is more unique. Except for the dragon's head, the rest of the dragon's body is divided into ten parts, each of which is like a dragon's scales but connected to each other. Each scale looks golden at first glance, but when you look closely, it is different. Each scale has a detailed introduction and route, map, snacks, etc. of a famous scenic spot in Shaanxi, Huaqing Pond, Terracotta Warriors, Huashan, Stele Forest and other places we are about to go to are included, this kite has simply become a miniature scenery and living map of Shaanxi. In 2005, there was such a unique publicity, which really deserves to be called an ancient cultural capital with a unique style. You tear off the kite and run away, the kite flies with you for a while and entangles you, and you are in a hurry to untie the line. Every time I think about this scene, I think it's funny. I didn't hesitate to collect this kite after you got tired of playing with it, and I kept everything related to you as much as possible.
The next day we went to Huashan. Because it was the "May Day" period, there were many people going up the mountain, so we waited in line at the cable car to go up the mountain. You'll have to wait about an hour to see it, so I'll tell the guide and take you to the creek next to the cable car. You make a splash in the stream, laughing happily at the splash, and you don't care if your clothes get wet. One stumble, and you almost fall. The stream is very thin, so I'll quickly move the pebbles at your feet. The pebble is oval in shape, with some white patterns on a blue-gray base. If you look closely, it is a bit similar to the head of a giant panda, and there are clusters of black patterns next to it, which look like bamboo eaten by pandas. This is really "stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get it". Whether this stone has value or not, it has such a beautiful pattern that it is certainly worth collecting. I found a treasure and washed it and put it in my bag. The stone weighed about a pound, and I carried it up to Huashan. Although I was tired enough, I was elated all the way. At the peak of Huashan, in front of the wooden plaque of "Huashan on the Sword" written by Master Jin Yong, you shouted: "I am a hero!" "We held hands and had a beautiful moment. Baby, you are not only a hero in your mother's heart, but also your mother's lucky star!
