Chapter 92: Seeing and Hearing and Riding an Elephant (Subscription Requested)

At 8 o'clock in the morning of the 29th, after Chen Chen's family had dinner in the restaurant of the inn, they went back to the room to clean up, and went to the hall to wait for Gao Qi.

Soon, Gao Qi arrived, a few people chatted a little, and then the four of them went out together, they planned to go to the Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences this morning.

This is the botanical garden with the largest area, the richest collection of species and the largest number of special plant parks in China, and it is also a comprehensive research institution and scenic spot integrating scientific research, species preservation and popular science education.

After a morning of sightseeing, Chen Chen found a lot of strange flowers and plants in the botanical garden, which really opened their eyes, and Chen Chen had never seen many things before.

For example, the wine bottle orchid like a wine bottle, the keel full of long thorns, the golden Sanssouci flower, the red and bright torch flower, the mandala hanging upside down the golden bell, the dancing grass that dances when you hear music, the mimosa that closes when you touch it, the mysterious fruit that can change people's sense of taste, and a series of plants have opened the door to a new world for Chen Chen and them.

Among them, the most amazing thing for Chen Chen was the mysterious fruit, although he had heard of it before, he had never tasted it.

This is a small oval-shaped red berry, and after eating the mysterious fruit, and then eating anything sour, the taste becomes sweet, which is very magical.

Throughout the botanical garden, moss, grasses, shrubs, vines, trees, and birds in the tropical rainforest and primeval forests form a choir.

People move with the scenery, trees move with people, Chen Chen and they are dazzled and amazed.

After visiting the botanical garden, it was already more than twelve o'clock, Gao Qi took them to a nearby restaurant to eat, and after eating, after a little rest, he drove directly to Manting Park.

According to Gao Qi's introduction, Manting Park is located in the triangle of the confluence of the Lancang River and the Liusha River, covering an area of more than 400 acres, with more than 500 well-preserved ancient iron knife trees and vegetation.

There are hills and rivers in the park, and there are many cultural landscapes with strong ethnic characteristics, it is a natural village-style park, which is the oldest park in Xishuangbanna, which has a history of 1300 years, and the Dai people like to call her 'the garden of the soul'.

At about 10 o'clock, Chen Chen and his entourage officially entered the park, the ticket was obtained by Gao Qi, Chen Chen didn't ask much, he didn't want to give him money, Chen Chen planned to have the opportunity to give him a big gift.

Gao Qi walked in front and introduced:

"This can be said to be the favorite place of the Dai people, because this used to be the Dai King Imperial Garden, and there are a total of six scenic spots in the park, namely the National Cultural Square, the Liana Area, the Imperial Orchid Garden, the Fangsheng Lake, the Buddhist Cultural Area, and the Tree Planting Memorial Area."

Chen Chen's eyes looked around, and he couldn't help but nodded, this park is indeed very national, and entering it has a feeling of coming to Thailand.

The surrounding scenery shows the strong Dai folk culture, the Dai royal culture, and the Buddhist culture, especially the architecture here, the design is unique, and there are many yellow elements, giving people a feeling of golden brilliance, which is simply to brighten Chen Chen's eyes.

Jiang Ya also smiled and said:

"Husband, it must look good to take pictures here, let's take some pictures later."

Chen Chen replied dotingly:

"Okay, I'll let you have a good time."

The further you go, the more you feel that the scenery here is extremely unique, because there are not only unique Dai royal buildings, but also lush tropical plants and flowers that complement each other.

From a distance, it seems that under the background of flowers and plants, the building also has a little vitality of plants, and they reflect each other, forming a wonderful beauty here.

Jiang Ya pulled Chen Xin to walk in front of her with a radiant spirit, and every time she went to a place where she thought it looked good, she asked Chen Chen to take pictures of her, and she also pulled Chen Chen behind, but Chen Chen was stunned.

Chen Xin also had a lot of fun, and pleasant laughter came from her mouth from time to time.

Among these buildings full of history, Chen Chen felt that the most magnificent was the Dai Palace, although it was not big, but under the sunlight, it faintly emitted a golden light, which looked brilliant.

After walking into the Dai Palace, they found that there were a lot of Dai cultural histories displayed inside, Chen Chen and they walked in the Dai Palace, feeling as if they had traveled through time and space, as if they saw the Dai King in the historical picture scroll patrolling and playing here, which was very vivid.

Of course, in addition to these Dai-style buildings, the General Buddha Temple, as the highest-level Buddhist temple in Xishuangbanna, Gao Qi will definitely take Chen Chen and them there.

What impressed Chen Chen the most here was the statue of the goddess of the earth, which symbolizes peace and abundance, and there is a sink under it.

Gao Qi turned his head and said: "Legend has it that washing your hands with the water here has the implication that you can wash away bad luck, you can give it a try." ”

As soon as the words fell, Gao Qi went to wash it himself.

After Chen Chen and the others saw it, they also followed the customs, stepped forward to wash their hands, and they didn't know if it was a psychological effect, and they really felt a lot calmer.

What made Chen Xin and Jiang Ya happiest was that Gao Qi took them to see the parrot show and elephant show here, and during the performance, the staff would also select tourists to interact with the elephants to play games, feed the elephants, and so on.

Chen Xin, this girl, didn't know where she got the courage, after hearing that she could ride an elephant to take pictures, she kept shouting to ride an elephant to take pictures, and in the end, in the end, Chen Chen couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked Jiang Ya to take a photo with her.

Originally, he wanted to go by himself, but seeing a trace of longing hidden in Jiang Ya's eyes, he asked Jiang Ya to take Chen Xin to take a picture, although these elephants looked a little scary, they were unexpectedly docile.

After shopping here, the time came to more than five o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Chen and they walked for more than three hours, today from the morning to now, although they have eaten a lot of things at noon, but the amount of exercise is also sufficient, so they are still a little hungry.

Chen Chen opened his mouth and asked:

"Brother Qi, are there any restaurants around here, I've been shopping for so long, and I'm a little hungry, let's go eat something."

After hearing Chen Chen's words, Gao Qi laughed and teased:

"Hahaha, Ah Chen, you can't do this, you're hungry so soon, let's listen to the park, in addition to these kinds of viewing activities that will take you to visit in the afternoon, the bonfire party and performances in the evening are also very interesting.

The reason why I put Manting Park in the afternoon is because of this reason, the party will start at seven o'clock, I have already bought the tickets, and I can enjoy the buffet at that time, the taste is still very good, full of Dai flavor.

Why don't I take you to find a place to pad your stomach, don't eat too much, and then rest and recharge, and take you to a bonfire party in the evening.

After all, such a party, you usually in the magic capital is definitely not said to experience the experience, at the party, you can feel the enthusiasm of the Dai people.

And didn't you just ask why I didn't take you to the release lake, after the evening performance, we can go, when the time comes, everyone will hold a water lantern in their hands, through a dark black-hearted forest, after arriving at the lake, silently make a wish in their hearts, and then put the water krathong into the release lake together. ”
