Chapter 181: Hong Kong Travel I
On January 31, the third day of the Lunar New Year, at about 10:30 a.m., Li Zhen, Cheng Youli, Zhang Chengyuan and Xiao Jing appeared at the exit of Hong Kong International Airport with a salute, and they were ready to play happily for a few days in this world-famous "Pearl of the Orient".
The reason why he appeared here was that Zhang Donghu learned that Zhang Chengyuan had not accompanied Cheng Youli on a trip abroad because he was busy with work since he fell in love with Cheng Youli, and he was very annoyed by treating his daughter-in-law so poorly. So he strictly ordered Zhang Chengyuan to take advantage of the fact that the two of them had no important work in this New Year, and took Cheng Youli abroad to relax, and by the way, to enhance their relationship. In Zhang Donghu's opinion, if Zhang Chengyuan "ignores" Cheng Youli like this, sooner or later Cheng Youli will be forced to leave him.
It just so happened that Zhang Chengyuan had already had this intention in his heart, so he used Zhang Donghu's order as an excuse to make Cheng Youli unable to refuse and agreed to accompany him abroad. Originally, he also wanted the other three sisters to accompany him, but Lee Hyo-ri was busy with the promotion and release of his second solo album, and Ok Joo-hyun had no time to withdraw because of his radio hosting and yoga career, and in the end, only Lee Jin, who was still in the rest period, was urged by him to come together.
In addition, when Xiao Jing learned that he was going to go abroad, he insisted on following, but Zhang Chengyuan couldn't bear to refuse, so he had to agree. And Zheng's father and Zheng's mother have always trusted him, so they have no objections, and originally wanted Zhang Chengyuan to bring Zheng Xiuyan with him, but he was afraid that it would affect Zheng Xiuyan's singing practice, and he was worried that Zhang Chengyuan would be very hard to take care of the two children alone, so he gave up.
Li Zhen and Cheng Youli are both very happy about the addition of Little Crystal, among all the younger sisters of Zhang Chengyuan, the four sisters have the best impression of Little Crystal, probably because Little Crystal is still young, extremely cute, and has a sweet mouth, so it is easy to buy their hearts.
Walking out of the international airport, Zhang Chengyuan and the others first felt that Hong Kong was much warmer than Seoul, Li Zhen and Cheng Youli immediately took off a coat, Zhang Chengyuan was originally dressed quite thinly, and he was not afraid of cold and heat, so naturally he didn't need to do this. Although Xiao Jing also wanted to take off her coat, she was strictly forbidden by Zhang Chengyuan, he was worried that Xiao Jing was young, her resistance was slightly weak, and she was easily attacked by the cold wind, so he wanted to wait for her to get more used to the weather in Hong Kong, and then increase or decrease her clothes as appropriate.
At this time, the four of them were in full swing, especially Xiao Crystal excitedly shouted that he wanted to play immediately, but because it was inconvenient to move around with his luggage, he decided to go to the hotel to check in first, put the luggage away, and then go out to play. Before the four of them came to Hong Kong, Zhang Chengyuan asked Park Byungyeol to book a hotel for him to stay in - Grand Hyatt Hong Kong, a five-star hotel integrating accommodation, catering, business, conference, tourism and other services.
In order to better enjoy the scenery of Hong Kong, Zhang Chengyuan and others chose the airport bus as a mode of transportation, rather than the more convenient airport express line. On the bus, Li Zhen and Cheng Youli sat together in the back row, Zhang Chengyuan and Xiao Jing sat together in a slightly front row, the four of them kept looking at the scenery outside the car and the Spring Festival atmosphere everywhere, the terroir and landscape of different countries and places made them very interested, Xiao Jing almost stuck his head out of the car window, and shouted loudly when he saw something interesting and self-conscious.
When the passengers on the bus saw that she was a sweet-looking and cute little girl, they would smile and not bother with her.
Zhang Chengyuan didn't stop Xiao Jing's lively actions, he originally came out to play and relax, so why suppress Xiao Jing's naΓ―ve childlike nature? And he also has his own things to do, while unfolding the Yuan Shen, remembering the observed scenery along the way, while observing the passengers in the car, the state of the bus, and guarding against various emergencies, such as robberies, car accidents, reporters candid photography, etc.
Although the probability of these things happening is extremely low, he does not dare to be sloppy, because Li Zhen, Cheng Youli, and Xiao Crystal are all people who are more precious than his own lives to him.
When the bus passed over the Tsing Ma Bridge, most of the passengers couldn't help but be amazed, at least more than half of these passengers were tourists visiting Hong Kong, and most of them were seeing this majestic and famous bridge for the first time. Even though some of them had seen it several times, they were still interested in taking a closer look again.
Little Crystal suddenly said: "Brother, I think this bridge seems to be more spectacular and beautiful than the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, why don't we get off here and enjoy it?" Born in San Francisco and staying there for another six or seven years, she was familiar with the Golden Gate Bridge, and was immediately intrigued when she saw the Tsing Ma Bridge, which rivaled or even surpassed it.
Zhang Chengyuan said: "I'm afraid it won't work!" The bridge is only open to traffic and pedestrians are not allowed to walk around because it has no sidewalks. Take a closer look! In order to make this trip to Hong Kong smoother, Zhang Chengyuan looked up a lot of information on the Internet and wrote them down in his brain, so he still has some understanding of the Tsing Ma Bridge.
Xiao Jing looked at the side of the bridge and found that there were indeed no pedestrians and no sidewalks, so he said regretfully: "Oops! What a pity! At this time, all the passengers in the car may have the same thoughts as her, except for Zhang Chengyuan.
Zhang Chengyuan smiled: "It's no pity! My brother can let you admire this beautiful and spectacular bridge, and now you look me in the eye. β
Little Crystal was a little puzzled, but looked into his eyes very obediently, and after a few seconds, an extremely clear picture flashed in her mind: above the deep blue sea, a magnificent steel bridge like a giant dragon spanned between two landmasses, one large and one small, and there were vehicles about the size of ants coming and going on the bridge. After a while, the picture suddenly zoomed in so much that she could even see the faces of the passengers in the car.
"Oops! Isn't that Sister Li Zhen and Sister Youli? The two of them were meeting head to head, almost clinging to the window glass of the car, looking at the scenery outside the car. Oh, it's me next to me! And brother! Well? How can I see the top of my head? Little Crystal thought in amazement. But she felt very good, and held back the rising surprise in her heart, and did not shout, she knew that this must have been done by her brother who was very skilled.
Zhang Chengyuan seemed to feel her thoughts and smiled at Xiao Jingjing. I didn't see him open his mouth, a familiar voice, and then remembered in Xiao Crystal's mind: "Crystal, you think well, I let you see this, but don't say it, you have to keep it secret for your brother, otherwise your brother will be regarded as a monster." β
Xiao Jing said softly: "I understand, this is the secret of the two of us, I will never say it to anyone, even if my parents ask me, I will never say it." But brother, you are amazing, you let me see myself directly for the first time, I really love you! As he spoke, he kissed Zhang Chengyuan fiercely.
Although she is young, Xiao Jing has already sensed that Zhang Chengyuan has many unique and unique abilities, but she never feels panicked, because she knows that Zhang Chengyuan is very good to her, so even if Zhang Chengyuan is an alien, she will not take it to heart, and will even be proud to have an alien brother.
After crossing the Tsing Ma Bridge, the bus turned southeast and continued to move forward, turning all the way, about half an hour later, when it arrived at the Wan Chai site, Zhang Chengyuan beckoned Li Zhen, Cheng Youli, and Xiao Jing to get off the bus first, and he followed behind with all his suitcases. After getting out of the car, Zhang Chengyuan first identified the direction, then unfolded the spirit to check the surrounding high-rise buildings, and soon found the location of the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong, and then led his sister and sister to the hotel first.
Within a few minutes, they arrived at the hotel, and after completing the formalities, the four of them entered the room under the guidance of the waiter. The four of them asked for a total of two double rooms, one for Li Zhen and Cheng Youli, one for Zhang Chengyuan and Xiao Jing. The two rooms are adjacent, easy to play and move around, the rooms are spacious, bright, well-equipped, and you can also enjoy the iconic scenery of Hong Kong Victoria Harbour from above, which has the reputation of "one of the three major night views in the world".
The four of them gathered in a room, and after enjoying the scenery outside the window a little, Xiao Jing, a snack seller, shouted that she was hungry and wanted to eat, no wonder she was hungry, in order to keep her stomach and eat more local Hong Kong food, she didn't eat anything except a small drink on the plane, and it was noon.
Li Zhen and Cheng Youli were also a little hungry, so they proposed to go to the hotel restaurant for lunch, because they knew that Zhang Chengyuan did not like to eat in a lively setting.
However, Zhang Chengyuan said: "Sister Zhen'er, Sister Youli, we came to Hong Kong to have fun and relax, what's the point of staying in the hotel, why not go out to eat authentic Hong Kong snacks, and experience the local customs by the way?" He knew that the two sisters actually wanted to go out, and they couldn't travel as they wanted in South Korea, which had already made them panic, and at this time, not many people would recognize their foreign country, so why not have a good time?
Little Crystal's child's nature also prefers lively places, so naturally they also loudly agreed, so the four of them decided to find a restaurant on the street to eat, not only to fill their stomachs, but also to save a sum of money, after all, the dishes in the hotel are much more expensive than those on the street, and they may not be better.
There are countless delicacies in Hong Kong, and there are countless small restaurants in Hong Kong, in order to be able to eat more distinctive and delicious snacks, Zhang Chengyuan and the four of them did not eat in a restaurant, but walked around, walked from one restaurant to another, walked from one street to another, and bought some of the food that was pleasing to the eye, and ate while walking, and ate a few more bites of the delicious ones, and stuffed them to Zhang Chengyuan if they didn't fit the taste, anyway, he was not picky eaters, and he had a big appetite, fortunately, the number of times this happened was relatively small, most of the time, Li Zhen, Cheng Youli, The three of them were all scrambling to eat.
After walking a few streets, the four of them have eaten at least twenty or thirty kinds of snacks, among which their favorites are spicy fish balls, pot cakes, fish siu mai king, egg tarts, and wife cakes. In addition to the fact that the food tastes very good, this free, unrestrained, and unrestrained situation is the most comfortable point of Li Zhen, Cheng Youli, and Zhang Chengyuan.
Of course, the combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman like them and a cute little sister is a beautiful scenery wherever they go, how can they not attract the attention of the surroundings? However, after all, they are not well-known in Hong Kong, and they have made a little cover-up, so there is absolutely not one in a thousand who can recognize them, even if passers-by are interested in them and frequently look at them, but they will never come up to disturb them, let alone surround them and ask for autographs.
In addition to eating, the four of them didn't know where to go, raised their eyes and saw a park, so they walked in to watch, Zhang Chengyuan looked at the road sign, which said "Hong Kong Park". Inside, you can walk around and enjoy the bird's eye view, watch people stretch their fists and feet in the Tai Chi Garden, watch dragonflies fly in the nursery garden, listen to the chirping and playing music of more than 100 kinds of birds in the aviary, and enjoy the exhibition of ceramics, sculptures and prints in the Visual Arts Center...... Although they are all just superficial, they also have a special interest.
Then, sit down in your seat at the Olympic Garden Plaza and rest for a while, unfold the Hong Kong tourist map and brochure that you got free of charge at the Hong Kong airport, and study where to go next. Li Zhen proposed to go to St. John's Cathedral, Xiao Jing wanted to go to Ocean Park, Cheng Youli did not particularly want to go to the place, and Zhang Chengyuan planned to go to the top of Victoria Peak, as far as he knew, Taiping Peak is the highest peak on Hong Kong Island, after climbing, he can overlook the entire Hong Kong Island and Victoria Harbour and other nearby waters, which is much farther than his Yuan Shen wants to see, so that he can have a more comprehensive understanding of Hong Kong.
After all, let's take a closer look at St. John's Cathedral first, then Victoria Peak, and then Ocean Park.
St. John's Church is very close to Hong Kong Park, and it is two streets away from the northwest of the church, and it took a long time to see how much a church can see, but the four of them did not leave immediately, because Li Zhen and Cheng Youli, two devout Christians, wanted to worship and pray here.
Zhang Chengyuan didn't think it was different, although he didn't believe in religion, but he wouldn't think that religious believers were ignorant like some unbelievers, and after seeing Li Zhen and Cheng Youli's actions, he took Xiao Jing's hand and stood next to him and waited quietly. At this time, he habitually unfolded the Yuan Shen to check the environment, but suddenly found that the believers in the church had a thread of spiritual power as thin as silk on their heads that was extending upward, seemingly so fragile that it could be broken by a gentle blow of the wind, but it was so tenacious that even his Yuan Shen power could not be broken.
Zhang Chengyuan's heart sank, and he hurriedly withdrew the power of the primordial gods, not daring to make any more changes, but just "watching" this trace of spiritual power in a regular manner, gradually gathering together, coming out of the top of the church, shooting towards the distant sky, and said in his heart: "This should be the power of faith that makes the ancient monks awe-inspiring, but it is much more clever than the power of worship I collected from the fans, it is simply incomparable, if I can accept the power of faith for my own use, not to mention the great success of the primordial gods, it is possible to become immortals." Alas! It's a pity, it's just my delusion, how can I have this ability? I'm just going to experience my journey to the red dust honestly......"
For a while, he felt a lot, and only came to his senses under the pull of Xiao Jingjing, it turned out that Li Zhen and Cheng Youli had finished praying, and beckoned him to leave the church.
Walking out of this St. John's Cathedral, the first religious place that Zhang Chengyuan entered since his reincarnation, Zhang Chengyuan glanced back and thought: "In the future, I still don't want to enter churches, temples, mosques and other places, who knows if the Tao will have an impact on my Yuanshen?" If there really are some beings that humans can't understand, it's definitely not something I can resist, and I'd just stay away! β
