The first attraction that Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo arrived at was the Xi'an Banpo Museum. According to the tour guide, Banpo Museum is a national first-class museum, in the eastern suburbs of Xi'an City, it is the only well-preserved primitive social site about six or seven thousand years ago in China. Zhao Hui studied history and proudly said to Li Zhenguo: "This is the world-famous 'Banpo clan site', which reflects the prosperity of the matriarchal clan communes in the Yellow River Valley. ”

Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo walked into the cultural relics exhibition room of the Banpo Museum, in the first exhibition room, Zhao Hui saw that the production tools used by people in the primitive society were exhibited here, mainly grinding stone knives, stone chisels, stone axes, stone shovels, pottery knives, wooden hoes, spinning wheels, bone needles, fish hooks, harpoons and other tools, as well as bows and arrows used to shoot birds, arrows are made of stone or fish bones. The cultural relics they saw in the second exhibition room were the daily utensils and works of art of primitive society, including pottery retorts, large pottery urns, human face reticulated basins, and pointed bottom bottles...... They came to the site hall again and saw that there were forty or fifty simulated houses of primitive societies, with round or square houses, which were the residences of clan members of primitive societies. Outside the residential area, there are kilns and public cemeteries.

Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo came out after a circle at the Banpo Museum, got into the car, and set off for the second scenic spot, Huaqing Pond.

Their car soon drove to the gate of Huaqing Pond, the second attraction. Listen to the tour guide, "Huaqing Pond, also known as Huaqing Palace, is a place for the emperor and his concubines to freshen up and play next to Lishan Mountain in Xi'an during the Tang Dynasty. ”

Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo walked into the gate of Huaqing Pond, and stood in front of a statue of Yang Yuhuan, the favorite concubine of Tang Emperor Tang Xuanzong, who had the beauty of a closed moon and shy flowers. Many tourists took pictures next to the statue, and Li Zhenguo took out his camera and said, "Xiaohui, you stand next to the statue and I'll take two pictures of you." Zhao Hui agreed with a "hmm" and said, "I'll take it first." She put down what she was holding and stood next to the statue of Yang Guifei. Li Zhenguo watched Zhao Hui stand up, pinched the camera, and took two photos. Li Zhenguo handed the camera to Zhao Hui, who took the camera and said, "I'll take a picture of you." Li Zhenguo stood next to the statue, and Zhao Hui took two photos of him.

Next, they walked towards the Tang Imperial Soup Ruins, and the hot spring bath to the east was Haitang Soup, which used to be Yang Guifei's bathing pool. The bath on the west side is the lotus bath, which is the bathing pool of the emperor. "Shangshiyu" is a bathing pool for ministers; "Star Soup" is named because the stars in the sky can be seen after bathing. Behind the star bath, there is also a hot spring ancient source.

To the east of the Tang Yutang site, there is a very elegant courtyard - Huanyuan, which is the site of the "Xi'an Incident". Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo walked into the ring garden, there is a lotus pond in front, there is a lotus pavilion in the south, there is a white lotus pavilion in the east, and behind the lotus pavilion is five halls, which is the resting place when Chiang Kai-shek came to Huaqing Pond in 1936. In the tour guide's commentary, he said: "The Xi'an Incident occurred on December 12, 1936, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng in order to make Chiang Kai-shek change the policy of "fighting outside must first secure the interior", stop the civil war, and unanimously resist Japan, launched a coup d'Γ©tat in Huaqingchi, Xi'an, detained Chiang Kai-shek, and went to Xi'an to peacefully resolve the Xi'an Incident. ”

After Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo visited the scenic spots of Huaqing Pond, they got in the car again and set off for the third scenic spot, the Terracotta Warriors.

They quickly arrived at the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, the world's largest underground military museum. Zhao Hui went with Li Zhenguo to watch the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang with an extremely solemn heart. The scale of the terracotta warriors and horses is huge, the scene is majestic, and there is a high level of science and art, so that tourists can't help but praise the majesty and grandeur of the terracotta warriors.

Zhao Hui heard the tour guide say, "French President Jacques Chirac once said that there were seven wonders in the world, and the discovery of the Qin Terracotta Warriors can be said to be the eighth wonder." To the No. 1 pit of the Terracotta Warriors, this is the largest figurine pit, with an area of more than 14,000 square meters. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses have a forward and a rear position, reflecting the ancient army camp of China 2,000 years ago. They are tall and healthy, and they appear to be very large and powerful. The figurines were neatly arranged, illustrating the discipline of the ancient royal army.

They followed the tourists to the north for a distance of more than 20 meters, and arrived at the No. 2 Warrior Pit, which is a model in the Qin Warrior Pit, and heard the tour guide say that "its discovery unveiled the mystery of the ancient military formation". The No. 2 figurine pit is about 6,000 square meters and consists of four parts: the first part is composed of archers, with kneeling and standing warriors; The second part consisted of combat vehicles; The third part is composed of a mixture of chariots, infantry, and cavalry figurines; The fourth part consisted of a lot of cavalry. These four parts are composed of a mixture of chariots, cavalry, and cavalry, which fully embodies the strategic situation of attack and defense.

They walked a distance of 120 meters to the west and came to the third pit of the Terracotta Warriors, which was a burial pit. Listening to the tour guide, "The No. 3 pit is concave as a whole, and from the internal layout, it should be the command headquarters." The painted colors on the terracotta figurines in the No. 3 pit are relatively bright, and the unearthed cultural relics have certain characteristics. ”

Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo came out of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, it was already noon, they rested at the roadside table for a while, ate a bowl of instant noodles, drank some water, and then went to visit the fourth scenic spot - Lishan Scenic Area.

Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo walked along the mountain road to Lishan, and after a while, they saw a cable car station not far in front of them, they were very happy to get on the cable car, and the beautiful scenery of Lishan was displayed around them, they exercised in the embrace of Lishan, and the flying birds chirped to them outside the cable car, as if it was a blessing to them. Soon, the cable car stopped, and Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo got off the cable car and happily walked towards the beacon tower on the top of the mountain. They walked on the mountain road, Zhao Hui said with a smile: "This Lishan is a branch of the Qinling Mountains, and it is a place for the Tang Emperor to play. Li Zhenguo also smiled and said, "Yes! The scenery of Lishan is beautiful and breathtaking! "There are a lot of trees on the mountain, and this is a primeval forest, which brings people infinite reverie, which is refreshing and unfinished. Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo ascended the beacon tower, and Li Zhenguo said with a smile: "This is the place where King Zhou You of the Western Zhou Dynasty performed the historical farce of "Beacon Opera Princes, Praise and Laugh and Lose the World". Zhao Hui couldn't help asking, "Why did King Zhou You lose the world?" Li Zhenguo said seriously: "Because he teased the princes, King Zhou You married a woman who looked like a fairy, but this woman has never smiled happily since she entered the palace, so King Zhou You thought of a way to light wolf smoke on the mountain and tease the princes." When the dog Rong invaded the Western Zhou Dynasty, the king of Zhou lit the beacon fire again, but no one came to save him, causing the Western Zhou to perish. Zhao Hui smiled and said, "Ah! Honesty is the minimum quality that an emperor should have, how can he lose his trust with the princes? Li Zhenguo smiled and said, "Yes! King Zhou You lost the world because of this. ”

Coming down from the beacon tower, Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo went to browse the attractions of the Old Mother Palace, which was built to commemorate the ancient Chinese mythological figure Nuwa, who took pictures in front of the palace and walked down the mountain. After a while, they arrived at the Mingsheng Palace, after taking pictures, they went to the evening pavilion, they took pictures in the evening pavilion, standing on the north side of the evening pavilion, looking down on the scenery of Huaqing Pond, Zhao Hui said happily, standing here can see a very far place! Li Zhenguo pointed to the distance and said with a smile: "Hmm! Do you see that east-west river in the distance? That's Weishui. Zhao Hui said in surprise: "Oh! I saw Weishui, and it was great. Li Zhenguo took Zhao Hui's hand and said, "Let's go!" Go and explore the Sanyuan Cave. Zhao Hui smiled and said "um".

They left the evening pavilion and walked down the mountain again, and soon arrived at the attraction of Sanyuan Cave. Sanyuan Cave is several elegant caves, and the cave is dedicated to the Jade Emperor, the land lord, and Dayu. Strangely enough, there are also five natural unfathomable ventilation holes in the cave.

After leaving Sanyuandong, they went down to Lishan, got into the car waiting for them at the bottom of the mountain, and went back to Xi'an.

In the evening, Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo returned to Li Zhenguo's cousin's house, and the cousin and aunt cooked a table of meals and waited for them to come back for dinner. Uncle Cousin smiled and said, "Are you tired after a day of playing?" Li Zhenguo and Zhao Hui said in unison: "I'm not tired." Uncle Cousin said to Li Zhenguo: "Zhenguo, after you go back tomorrow, give a message to your father and mother, saying that I invited them to come to Xi'an as guests at home, and I haven't seen them for several years, and I am very worried about them." Li Zhenguo said "um" and said: "Uncle and aunt will go to Yinchuan when they have time, and my family also has a big house." Uncle Cousin said happily, "Okay! Next year, your cousin and I will go to Yinchuan to see your father and mother. ”

After dinner, everyone watched TV for a while and rested.

Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo went to the room to chat for a while, Li Zhenguo learned about Zhao Hui's learning in school, and encouraged Zhao Hui to say: "In college, as long as you study hard, it is basically very smooth. Zhao Hui smiled and said, "I know, I will study hard." Zhao Hui hugged Li Zhenguo, couldn't bear to leave, and whispered: "You will go back to Yinchuan tomorrow, will you miss me?" Li Zhenguo stroked Zhao Hui's hair and said, "I will miss you, and when I am free, I will think of you." I love you, don't sleep on the couch tonight, okay? Zhao Hui nodded, Li Zhenguo smiled and hugged Zhao Hui, bowed his head and kissed her, put her on the bed, he also got into bed, Zhao Hui fell asleep quickly in Li Zhenguo's arms, and after a while, Li Zhenguo also fell asleep.

The next morning, Zhao Hui sent Li Zhenguo to the train to Yinchuan, Zhao Hui watched the train pass by, Li Zhenguo smiled and waved goodbye to Zhao Hui in the carriage, and Zhao Hui also smiled and waved his hand. When the train was far away, Zhao Hui turned around and walked outside the train station, where she got on the bus to the School of Finance and Economics and went back to school.
