The afterglow of the setting sun tinted the blue sky with a hint of yellow.

The wind blew across the water, forming layers of waves. The waves pushed the water towards the rocks, which were covered with green water plants.

"It's so beautiful here. Let's take a family photo here." Wang Yanmei held up the silk scarf in her hand, and she couldn't wait to take the photo.

Xu Zijun was always shy when taking photos. Xu Qingzhi remembered that he seemed to be the same when he was his age.

She doesn’t like taking photos, and she especially doesn’t like being dragged by her mother to take photos together.

Later, there were several times when the whole family took photos together during the Chinese New Year.

The original camera, her mother didn’t care whether the photo was good-looking or not, as long as everyone’s eyes were open and she wasn’t ugly, she would post the photo on WeChat Moments.

This time, we asked passers-by to take a few photos, and the family walked along the edge of Erhai Lake.

There was someone singing not far away, and the singing, combined with the darkening sky, created a wonderful atmosphere.

There are many stalls walking through the alleys.

Xu Zijun was not full, so he went to buy some barbecue.

After being scolded by Ms. Wang, he waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, if you really want to eat it, go buy it and ask your sister if she wants to eat it."

Xu Qingzhi was looking at sun hats in the store.

The sun is too strong here during the day and I was not prepared before coming here.

I picked up several hats for grandpa to wear, and this black one looked the best, so I took it.

She raised her hand and called for her parents to come over, giving each of them a sun hat.

There are also sun protection masks and sunglasses.

I'm going to visit the ancient city tomorrow, so I'd better buy all these sun protection equipment.

Maybe you are tired after a long day of flying or taking a car.

Slept soundly the first night.

Wang Yanmei was originally worried that she would not be able to get used to sleeping living outside, but after washing up, she fell asleep immediately.

the next day.

To be precise, the whole Xu family had nose bleeding.

After a lot of work, Xu Zijun searched on the Internet and found that many people who came to Xiaoli City had this symptom.

Because the weather here is too dry.

There was no pharmacy nearby, so Xu Qingzhi bought some medicine from takeout and gently rubbed it into his nose.

The family set out for the ancient city.

For breakfast, I specially tried the local specialty bean flour and fried dough sticks, which tasted quite special.

One bowl of thin bean powder per person is a bit too much to finish, and it makes you feel full. One bowl is just right for two people.

After breakfast, I strolled around the ancient city in the sunshine.

It is not quite the same as the ancient city I imagined. It has a strong commercial atmosphere, with storefronts connected to each other. It seems that all the commercialized ancient cities and towns across the country are similar to these stores.

Bracelets, fruit salad, beef jerky, grilled squid...

These are the shops I visit everywhere.

There are only a few flower cakes, which are somewhat interesting.

The freshly baked flower cakes are hot, with a crispy outer crust. When you take a bite, you can tell that the filling inside tastes like real roses.

He bought some to take back and eat, and Xu Qingzhi also bought some to send to his friends in Kyoto.

Compared with those commercial stores, Wang Yanmei still prefers things with some characteristics. She felt annoyed when she saw the same stores everywhere.

It was not until she saw a store that allowed people to take photos of ethnic costumes that she became interested.

There are also many people taking photos here, although their makeup and hairstyles are similar.

Seeing that her mother was interested, Xu Qingzhi accompanied her mother to take photos, while her father, grandfather and her brother changed into boys' special clothing.

The original plan was to visit the ancient city, but it turned into taking photos. (End of this chapter)
