Chapter 53: Visiting Tennessee (2)
The next day, the team went south to Tennessee, which was also the focus of Ji Xin's attention. However, at this time, it is unknown how much he can still focus on his work. Because after Xu Feifei's slap last night, this person deeply felt that he had only left the country not long ago, and he was a little decoupled ideologically, or he was assimilated by the rich people in the United States.
Opening and closing your mouth is to relax and relax, and when you look at people, you also like to observe with the eyes of evaluation. After all, he is a landlord with a large ranch. Ji Xin, who understood his own changes, decisively decided to adjust the plan, and the first step was to relax and no longer always think about ranch tours. This is also different from the capitalists, isn't it for money? Ji Xin praised himself in his heart.
The actual reason was broken by Xu Feifei, "I feel that you are a little different today, younger, and more playful" It turned out that this person felt that the details he had worked so hard for might not be adopted, so he simply prepared to give everyone a vacation after going back, and then brainstorm and give full play to the wisdom of the masses.
It's all done in 2 hours by car. Ji Xin took a camera to shoot left and right, but unfortunately he didn't bring a SLR this time, only a digital camera to shoot casually. When we arrived at Tennessee's most famous attraction, the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.
Lin Xue said as she led the way, saying that the Great Smoky Mountains National Park got its name because the mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist all day long, as if it were in smoke. But this time I didn't see that kind of landscape, and everyone was a little regretful. Xu Feifei's performance is even more obvious, after all, this is also a killer feature to attract tourists, but it is impossible to find.
"This is a national park loved by many tourists, praised by tourists as one of the five best campsites in the United States, and also known as the most visited national park in the United States, surpassing Yellowstone" to the destination, Lin Xue arranged to take the cable car up the mountain between the intervals and did not forget to take the opportunity to introduce knowledge, this is known as the world's largest high-altitude cable car is two-way, each trip takes 20 minutes, can carry 50-60 tourists.
From the cable car, you can look down on the mountains, and the temperature in the mountains may be lower than the outside. The autumn leaves have withered, the orange leaves and a little green are all over the mountains, and occasionally there are small villas of different shapes dotted among them, like oil paintings. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is home to a wide variety of plants, and it is said that the total number of plants is comparable to that of all of Europe.
Due to the abundant rainfall, there are more than 100 species of native trees in the park, abundant deciduous trees, a large number of red needle fir trees, and the largest primeval forest in the eastern part of the United States. The ancient trees in the park are towering and the scenery is beautiful. Wildlife was scarce when the park opened in 1934, but the ban on hunting that opened led to a resurgence in many wildlife numbers, with white-tailed deer, bobcats, grouse, foxes and black bears living in the mountains.
When you get to the mountain, follow the request and visit in a group. No more restaurants will be arranged at noon today, and everyone will solve it by themselves. "This is to take care of the tastes of tourists, there are a lot of delicious foods under the mountain" probably because Ji Xin does not have a female escort, so there is no need to be embarrassed. So the tour guide and Xu Feifei both chose him... Bag.
Mixed water all the way plus a photo party, I quickly looked around. But after the initial excitement subsided, Ji Xin was a little bored. Perhaps he was used to this kind of scenery and had aesthetic fatigue, but he was surprised to see the introduction in the guidebook: "I heard that this is the most visited national park in the United States with more than 10 million tourists every year?" ”
"Well, this is the statistics of a third-party organization, and the data is used in the ranking of tourist attractions in the United States, which is very convincing" The tour guide did not notice that something was wrong, but kept praising it, as if he was a salesman in the scenic spot.
"Actually, I was a little disappointed that there was no other feature in the park, and there was an artificial skating rink, a ski slope and a few children's playgrounds on the top of the mountain. I feel that there is no difference in the mainland" This will Xu Feifei is on Ji Xin's side, mainly because the gap between reality and imagination is too big. The only thing to praise is that the park has disabled access and a dedicated elevator, which is very thoughtfully designed to make it easier for people to see.
If you want to blame the publicity of the scenic spot is too powerful, or blame the old beauty for being too ignorant, looking at those thirty or forty-year-old foreigners who are so excited, perfect, wonderful, Ji Xin feels a sense of superiority in IQ. This also convinced him that his own ranch must have a more characteristic development route, well, capitalists are easy to deviate, and they always can't control their brains without thinking about it.
The three of them went around in circles, ate round ice cream, bought a piece of homemade chocolate and went down the mountain. Relative to the scenery, the street below is more powerful. The traffic is busy, very lively, small houses with different styles, and all kinds of gift shops are bustling, although they try to refrain from adding reminders from the tour guide, they still carry large bags and small bags in the end.
"This is the rhythm of crazy money, two, it's not early, let's go eat first" Ji Xin, who was full of bags, was a little resentful, just now there were two beauties around him who made others envious, and the burden would be doubled.
However, the tour guide's sister is more focused on local specialty food. She said that the specialty of this place is steak and barbecue, so she asked the merchants on the side of the road again, and the recommendation of the head snake is more credible. "Do you like shrimp? If you like a nice one not far away, three guests"
Ji Xin didn't take it to heart at first. When I passed by the store, it attracted a lot of people, and when I looked at the signboard "bubblegump", this person was immediately interested.
"Do you think this is the one from the movie Forrest Gump?" The three of them were not sure, Xu Feifei thought it was very possible, while Ji Xin insisted that it was a gimmick made by the merchant. In the end, it was agreed that whoever guessed wrong would be treated, and the tour guide would be a witness, and no matter who lost, she would eat for nothing, making this girl so happy.
"If someone wants to pursue it, the method is very simple, just invite you to dinner, it's not expensive and effective," Ji Xin laughed. "Hmph, do you think I'm one of those little fools, if someone does this, I will definitely eat the candy and return the shells" Lin Xue (the tour guide) retorted angrily, and threatened Ji Xin not to interfere with the referee.
We don't understand the world of sisters, Ji Xin decisively shut up and decided to use facts to explain the situation. But after he went in, he didn't need to ask the waiter, he turned out to be a shooting location, it was really a filming location, it was very beautiful, and there were many movie posters, photos, and menus on the walls that were named after the heroes and heroines of the movie.
Looking at the scene exactly the same as on the big screen, Ji Xin, who is barely a movie fan, also forgot the depression of betting for the time being. "If you have time, you must bring your parents here to have a look," he muttered to himself, obviously remembering the situation when his father recommended this film to him before, which was to help Ji Xin learn English.
"Click" kept pressing the shutter, and Ji Xin planned to record everything here. When the parents of the domestic ** come over, maybe it can be regarded as a cavalry? With a sigh of relief, the three of them began to order, and of course the menu was in the hands of the girl.
"We want this, this, by the way, we want this" The woman with a good appetite seems to think that it is very remarkable to win others, and she is not polite to order, and she is very vigorous when eating. But when Ji Xin smiled evilly and reminded the female man how many calories there were in each dish, Xu Feifei gritted her teeth a little again, and she was very reluctant to touch her stomach. At the end of the table, most of the dishes went into Ji Xin's stomach, which was regarded as a gain and a loss.
