Chapter 718: Play

Dong Fatzi, who was sitting in the car, enjoyed the cool breeze blowing from the air conditioner, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, there is a branch here, otherwise you won't be able to die of heat in a taxi!" ”

"It's not too hot to die, how can a taxi not have air conditioning?" Liu Sizhe said with a smile.

When Lu Changshun heard this, he smiled and said: "Not to mention, although there are many taxis here, they are basically broken classic cars without air conditioning." And you don't have a meter, you must negotiate the price before you go. ”

"Isn't it, and there's such a thing?" Liu Sizhe felt a little unbelievable about this.

Dong Fatzi said: "This is true, I heard before I came that Myanmar is not a developed country, and many taxis still use second-hand cars imported in the nineties, and it is normal to have no air conditioning......

Liu Sizhe was a little speechless, he really didn't think he had ever encountered a taxi without air conditioning.

Although the poverty of the country can be seen in the taxi case, Yangon should be one of the most beautiful cities in the world in terms of natural environment.

Taking a car from the airport in the north of the city into the city, you can see that there are tropical trees with lush foliage everywhere, the trees cover the houses under the trees like umbrellas, the lush flowers and trees are brightly colored, and many colonial buildings are hidden in them, which also makes Chu Chen and others feel a strong exotic and tropical style when they first arrive.

Yangon is also full of tropical rainforest trees with a wide canopy, fruity coconut palms, and broad-leaved long-stalked tropical flowers. In May and June, you can also see mango and jackfruit trees full of attractive fruits.

The hotel was booked by Zhao Qirui and was called the Sedona Hotel, which is a five-star hotel. It is also a hotel for buyers of jade wool from the mainland, Xiangjiang and Baodao, around this time of year. Hotels are all overbooked, if not booked early. Basically, it's hard to have any room left.

As soon as Chu Chen and his party got out of the car, an old man in his fifties and a middle-aged man in his forties greeted him, and the other party introduced him to know that it was a gambling stone expert invited by Dong Fatzi, the old man's surname was Jiang, and the middle-aged man's surname was Qi.

Dong Fatzi introduced the two sides to each other, and when the two heard that Chu Chen was the champion of last year's "One Knife Thousand Gold", their attitudes were very enthusiastic.

Although they didn't know what Chu Chen's strength was, Leng Shaming's name. They all knew, since Chu Chen could still defeat Leng Shaming in that unfavorable situation, what was there to doubt about his level?

After a few words of greeting between the two sides, Chu Chen heard a voice not far away: "Hey, Xiao Chu, you are also here, why don't you call me before you come." I'm going to pick you up, too! ”

Chu Chen looked back, it turned out to be Zhang Yanbin, and there were several people behind him, and Chu Chen also knew these people. It was the gambling stone master and staff in his company.

"Don't we have half of the snake here!" Chu Chen patted Dong Fatzi's shoulder and said with a smile.

Zhang Yanbin also knew that Dong Fatzi's family should not be simple, but he didn't expect that there would be a company in Myanmar. He looked at the high-end business vehicle parked next to him, and also stepped forward to pat Dong Fatzi's shoulder and said:

"Fatty. Why didn't you say earlier that your family still has a company here, you don't know. It's not easy for us to find a better car! ”

Dong Fatzi smiled and said, "You didn't ask me about this, isn't what I said just to show off......"

At this time, Zhao Qirui said: "Okay, let's not stand at the door, let's go in and talk!" ”

The group walked to the lobby of the hotel, where Chu Chen met some of his friends again, such as Hou Yuanming, who had not seen him for a long time, Qian Yiyou, Zhang Xinghui, Xu Jiangcheng and others, as well as many jade merchants who had watched Chu Chen's gambling on stones.

Chu Chen greeted them with a smile, shook hands with them one by one, and after everyone left, even his body, which was basically not tired now, was a little unbearable.

Walking into the elevator, Liu Sizhe said with a funny face: "I said Brother Chen, if you go on like this, I see that every time you go out, you should have to change your appearance." ”

Chu Chen shook his head helplessly: "No way, this is called people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong......"

Several people talked and laughed, and soon arrived at the floor of their respective rooms, because Dong Fatzi's room was not booked together, and their room was not the same floor as Chu Chen's.

"Second uncle, Xiaochen ......"

As soon as Chu Chen and the others came out of the elevator, they met Wan Qijun, Yi Hongguo and Qiang Zhaojun who were about to enter the elevator and go downstairs.

The two sides greeted each other, and Zhao Qirui asked with a smile because he hadn't called them in advance, "Wan Qi, when did you arrive?" ”

"We arrived yesterday."

Wan Qijun replied with a smile, and then asked, "Your plane shouldn't be late, why did you come up so late?" Originally, we were going to go downstairs to have a look, but we didn't expect you to come up. ”

Zhao Qirui laughed: "You have to ask Achen about this." ”

"What's going on? Brother, what trouble are you in? Yi Hongguo hurriedly asked.

"I didn't encounter any trouble, it's just that there were too many people to greet him......" Chu Chen scratched his head and explained the reason.

When the three of them heard that this was the case, they were all overjoyed, and after half a ring, Yi Hongguo smiled and said: "Not to mention, I heard from a friend I just met yesterday that I am very much looking forward to you being able to learn skills with the Jade King this time, and he also said that many fellow travelers are looking forward to this." ”

Chu Chen shook his head again and again when he heard this: "Forget it, now I already feel so troublesome, it's better to say if I lose, if I win, then I really have to be like Ah Zhe said just now, I have to be easy to go out." ”

Hearing him say this, everyone laughed, Zhao Qirui said: "I support this, we are like this, fame is sometimes a burden, you are enough now, it is better for us to make a fortune quietly......"

Everyone chatted a few more words, and the group went to their respective rooms, cleaned up their salutes, and then took a shower happily.

After taking a bath, Chu Chen had just changed his clothes and sent a few text messages to Wu Ke, when he received a call from Zhao Qirui, asking him to go downstairs to dinner.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Chen looked out the window and found that it was still early outside, so it was a little strange why he was having dinner now? Later, when I looked at my mobile phone, I found that the time here was an hour and a half slower than in our country, and it was almost six o'clock in the evening based on the time in the mainland.

After all, after taking the plane for more than seven hours, except for Chu Chen, everyone else was more tired, so after a large group of people had a lively dinner in the evening, they chatted for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, after everyone had breakfast in the restaurant, Liu Sizhe said: "Tomorrow the public market will start, let's go to the Shwedagon Pagoda to have fun today, it is a world-famous scenic spot, I finally came to a trip, I can't come to the end, I haven't visited a single scenic spot, right?" ”

Chu Chen also came to Myanmar for the first time, and did not oppose Liu Sizhe's proposal, and Dong Fatzi also raised his hands in favor. Although Zhang Yanbin has been there a few times, he has nothing to do in the hotel, so he also responded in one bite.

"I've been there a few times, and I'm not going." Zhao Qirui said.

Yi Hongguo and others also said that they had been there a few times and didn't want to go again, of course, there was another reason why they didn't say it, they were all at this age, and there was a generation gap with young people, so they couldn't play together.

In the end, Wan Qijun was left, and Chu Chen smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, we have Brother Zhang as a tour guide, if you don't want to go, don't go." ”

"Okay, then you guys have fun......"

The world-famous Shwedagon Pagoda is located on the west side of Lake Gandoji in Yangon, and its pronunciation in Burmese is close to the pronunciation of the Chinese character "Shui Dagong". In Burmese, the pronunciation of the word gold is similar to the Chinese word "water", and I don't know if this word is developed from the water energy in our feng shui theory.

Shwedagon Pagoda is not far from the hotel, and it is less than 10 minutes by car.

Because it is a landmark building, when there is still some way to go from the Shwedagon Pagoda, Chu Chen saw the inverted bell-shaped Shwedagon Pagoda and the small stupas next to it flashing golden light under the blue sky and white clouds, and the appearance was really solemn and magnificent.

When everyone got out of the car and saw the golden pagoda with a height of nearly 100 meters, the eyes of Chu Chen and the others, who came for the first time, couldn't help but show a shocked look.

Shwedagon Pagoda was built in 585 A.D., the tower is more than 99 meters high, the circumference of the base of the tower is more than 400 meters, the umbrella-shaped ornament at the top of the tower is made of gold, there is a metal umbrella weighing 1250 kilograms and 1065 golden bells, 420 silver bells.

The golden sphere under the umbrella and the treasure umbrella is inlaid with more than 7,000 diamonds, red, sapphires and jadeite, and the whole tower is covered with gold, and a jade Buddha statue is enshrined in the tower. With the addition of 4 medium towers and 64 small towers, more than 7 tons of pure gold leaf are consumed.

When Chinese people visit the Shwedagon Pagoda, they often "relish" the gold (with a total weight of seven tons) and precious stones inlaid on the Shwedagon Pagoda. And the whole country of Myanmar unanimously believes that the reason why Myanmar is peaceful and peaceful? The products are abundant, the wind and rain are smooth, all thanks to the Shwedagon Pagoda.

At the gate of the Shwedagon Pagoda, Zhang Yanbin first introduced the history of the Shwedagon Pagoda: "...... Together with Angkor Wat and Borobudur, it is known as the "Three Great Monuments in Southeast Asia". Degrees of Taj? Mahal Mausoleum, collectively known as the "Five Wonders of the East" ......"

Chu Chen and others went to buy tickets first, and foreigners visited Shwedagon Pagoda, and the ticket was 5 meters. However, before 7:30 a.m., the Shwedagon Pagoda visit is free.

After buying the tickets, Zhang Yanbin told everyone some things to pay attention to: "...... Another thing to note is that when visiting temples in Myanmar, you must remember to take off your shoes and go barefoot, otherwise it will be disrespectful! (To be continued......)
