Sunset viewing tour
"Sunset Glow Town", the Zhexia town in Country D is famous for its magnificent sunset scenery.
The plains are as vast as mats, the fertile fields stretch for thousands of miles, and the towering green peaks stand alone in the world. One of the peaks that stands out is called "Red Orange Peak". When you climb up and look into the distance, the mighty sun suddenly condenses into a blood-red tangerine, and the light is the extracted juice; especially the green plants on the top of the mountain are exposed to the sun all day long, and bursts of sweet and mellow fragrance burst out in the evening, which always reminds people of the taste of orange vegetable salad.
The wave of extreme sports has swept the town.
Skydiving, bungee jumping, hang gliding, hot air ballooning, rock climbing, rafting, off-roading... Some people always think that Zhexia Town is a paradise on earth, but when you are infected by the local customs and folkways here, you will realize that the town is more like a general who has retired from the army and returned to the countryside. In his dreams, he is gentle with the passage of time, but more often he is unrestrained and unruly like a warrior on an iron cavalry chariot across icy rivers.
After landing at the hotel and washing off his tiredness, Yu Ran stood in front of the French window. Jiang Liu hugged him from behind, and they both looked out—
It had just rained here, and the grass was surging with green waves. A few docile foals were chewing grass leisurely, and cows were staggering and shaking their tails. If this scene were more elegant, how could it not be like a scholar in white holding a fan and waving the wind?
"This is the first time I've seen a cow." Yu Ran said.
"I heard that this hotel gives away secret dishes to lucky customers. Usually it's dairy products."
While dairy products are not uncommon, when traveling, even the most mundane things can become slightly different.
Yu Ran raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and clasped his hand. After a while, the doorbell rang and an exotic waitress stood at the door and said:
"Gentlemen, this is the hotel's hidden gem, the Orange Babaluya. It's made with Ehime jelly oranges and pasteurized fresh milk, with a cranberry filling and a base of hazelnuts, pistachios, and almonds. It's lightly sweet, not greasy, and full of flavor. Enjoy your stay."
He speaks Chinese very fluently.
Yu Ran asked: "Hidden menu?"
"Yes, sir. In addition to important guests, we will provide a hidden special menu. A small number of lucky customers will also have the opportunity to experience it."
She walked out with a smile.
"Are you saying that we are lucky?" Yu Ran took a spoonful and brought it to Jiang Liu's mouth.
Jiang Liu smiled and leaned over to kiss her, bringing a special sweetness.
While eating, I was putting my luggage away. After a while, someone called.
Jiang Liu just happened to come out after washing his hands and answered, "Um, ah? Oh...it's convenient now, bye."
"What's wrong."
Jiang Liu's eyes were still filled with confusion. "The hotel said we are the 6666th group of guests to check in this year, so they will give us two tour tickets."
"What kind of activities are we going to do?" Yu Ran extended his antennae, analyzing the emotions in the air. The lover was three parts doubt, seven parts anticipation, and ninety parts joy.
"The staff is coming to introduce it."
Two handsome men with model-like figures entered the room and deftly set up the projector. On a cart they pushed were a dozen or so gilded bronze statues, each representing a specific project, each incredibly exquisite.
Before the two could react, two exquisite tea breaks were placed in front of them. The handles of the cups were curved like fishing hooks, and the shape of the cups was like an overflowing fish basket; the dinner plate was shaped like a frisbee, with circles of bulges inside, and roasted beef cubes with fruits and vegetables were pierced with special dart skewers.
This sense of ritual...!
The two of them talked endlessly about the activities. In addition to the extreme sports they had heard of, there were also fishing, baking, picking, Frisbee, and other activities suitable for all ages.
Most importantly, once the project is confirmed, the hotel will be responsible for coordinating all the itineraries, so guests don't have to worry about the entire process.
"Which one are you interested in?"
Jiang Liu pointed the pen, hesitating about which item to tick.
"Let's each play what we like?" Jiang Liu suggested.
"Why don't we each pick one we're interested in, and then choose one."
The two of them turned their backs to each other and showed their cards at the same time. They unexpectedly chose rafting!
As a result, they each received a gilded bronze statue of a drifting boat as a souvenir.
Turn it over, and the name engraved on the bottom is that of a highly accomplished master of art.
After the hotel confirmed the details, they sent two premium tickets for Sunny Valley rafting a little later.
Customized route, including clothing, equipment, protective gear, as well as private hot springs and dinner after rafting.
I finally had time to lie down, and good luck came one after another. The feeling of sinking so deeply into the bed made me wonder if there were any gold, silver or valuables hidden under the bed.
Jiang Liu pressed Yu Ran down and kissed him enough.
The next day, the breeze blew the curtains, the dawn was hazy, and some staff opened the stable to feed grass. The cows mooed, and the whole process, and the tone, was like an ocarina, and they were happy.
The pastoral narrative poem was enchanting to anyone who read it. The two of them embraced and read it all morning.
After finally getting up, Jiang Liu went over today's schedule.
Later we will have lunch on the characteristic city tram.
After getting off at the terminal, walk to the Miscanthus Ancient Plank Road for a stroll, enjoy the scenery, and have afternoon tea.
In the afternoon, check in at the Miniature World Museum and make a souvenir of your trip.
At 4 pm the weather was cooler and the hotel sent a car to pick us up to go rafting in Sunny Valley.
He was dressed lightly in a bucket hat and sunglasses, not even carrying a bag. With the hat pressed down, Yu Ran felt the wolf tail was too sticky and clung to his skin, so he casually tied it into a high ponytail. The loose hair that flowed from his forehead to the top of his head and then to his temples made him look even more handsome because of his casualness.
On an unknown journey, with no limits, expectations often exceed the upper limit. Yu Ran and Jiang Liu were incredibly lucky along the way.
The city tram runs twice a day, each carrying only eight passengers. At each scenic spot, the chef serves a special dish. For example, at the Saint-Villars River, dishes include butter-fried fish and golden shrimp cakes. The scenery extends into stone houses with green tiles and tranquil gardens, where a glass of stuffed olives or a mushroom stew is served, brimming with the warmth of home.
After boarding the bus, bards and street musicians will be invited to perform at certain stations along the way. It is said that the performance costs a lot of money.
Artists all have some quirks. The beautiful girl playing the saxophone saw that Jiang Liu was looking for a soulmate, so she not only announced that the performance would be free, but also specially played his favorite song for Jiang Liu.
Then, the big guy in the car was in high spirits and rushed to pay the bill, which was indeed unexpected.
Speaking of admiring the silver grass, there are many vendors selling handicrafts near the cafe. It has become so popular that when you see Yu Ran, you just give her a gift, and the explanation is always "I won the prize" or "I have a good impression of her."
Surprisingly, a foreign woman recognized Yu Ran as the author of "Water and Fire." She immediately invited the two to her shop, where they observed the glassmaking process up close. Soon, a massive twin lotus blossoms emerged.
Two flowers bloomed, one a soft agate red, the other a deep emerald green. The branches twisted and climbed, and the leaves were not bound by conventional patterns but were designed to resemble burning flames.
"SongYiran and JingLiu." Two flowers bloomed in her hands, representing Song Yiran and JingLiu.
"Does this represent me" Yu Ran was curious whether the burning leaves referred to the author Ran Yuan.
"Yes, it represents you perfectly."
During the flamed glass production period, many tourists came into the shop and marveled at the craftsmanship. Naturally, they stopped to listen to the story behind it. "Water and Fire" has been promoted again and again.
Jiang Liu smiled knowingly, wondering if his lover still liked it.
The eldest sister's warmth and generosity were like a net, completely shielding her from the smoldering politeness. She wouldn't accept money, but her autographs and photos were the most precious things to her.
As for visiting the museum, although the knowledge quizzes were answered by one's own intelligence, what was the deal with the hidden prizes? Jiang Liu just cheered from the sidelines.
Good luck comes one after another, and after the ecstasy, my heart starts beating fast.
I left empty-handed and returned with a full load. After a quick pack up at the hotel, the luxury car took me to my destination.
The ultimate customized route for rafting in Sunny Valley is 7 kilometers long and takes more than 3 hours.
Behind their kayak, there was a lifeguard and a coach.
Yu Ran felt that rowing with someone else was more romantic, and it wouldn't be too late to ask the coach to row for him if he got tired in the second half.
After getting fully equipped and boarding the kayak, the slow current was filled with saliva-filled pearls of foam, and the low rocks, like turtle backs, were warm and harmless. Then, after a sudden turn, we encountered the first drop.
There was a sudden feeling of being suspended in the air, and the kayak spun—it slammed heavily into the water, but it was not as desperate as imagined. It sank and floated up and down, and then sank briefly and then floated lightly, giving the human body a perverse feeling of touch.
As huge waves hit, Jiang Liu held on to the handle tightly. When he opened his eyes again, he saw the ancient trees on the green mountains, the long days, and the quiet beauty.
The cold green water wet the person's body, evaporated, got wet again, dried up, and tied to the body in a cool and gloomy manner.
It makes them both look good.
After two huge waves, the scenery changed drastically. In the sky, eagles were lined up, their black feathers like blades, cutting the blue sky relentlessly, cutting off the vast expanse of white silk, and flying over the cliffs. At the foot of the mountain, a pool of unpolished jade faced up to endure the long-term polishing.
At the point where the oars crossed, the reflections of the lovers became floating flowers in the jade.
Yu Ran rowed the middle section, the current turbulent, and he only needed to paddle to control the direction. This unintentional action could actually play a crucial role; facing the danger head-on was brave, but avoiding it was also not shameful; controlling the direction was crucial.
Yu Ran suddenly felt a lot of emotions and felt much more cheerful.
The second half was the most dangerous part of the entire voyage. The two of them stopped the boat for a break, reapplied sunscreen and mosquito repellent, and had a special person check the protective gear, apply waterproof coating to the goggles, drain the water from the kayak, etc.
After eating an energy bar, they were ready to go. The coach stood between them, a dark, large man with handsome features. He was of mixed race.
The forest is ablaze with color, the setting sun half hangs on the mountaintop, the other half breaks apart and melts into the water. As the kayak sets sail, all I see is a tangible warmth.
No matter how the kayak drifts, always keep your eyes on the setting sun and move forward, without fear of losing your way.
The afterglow opens its arms, showing mercy, tolerance, divinity and motherhood.
After watching the kayak safely reach the shore, the setting sun opened its twilight makeup box and slipped in, leaving behind a beautiful moon kiss.
After three hours in the boat, I stood up with numb legs and a sore butt, my calves shaking so much I couldn't stand. They were both envious of each other, feeling incredibly embarrassed, and experiencing a kind of "growing old together" in advance.
Jiang Liu saw that a staff member had actually pushed two... wheelchairs over! He waved his hands repeatedly and said no.
That's so thoughtful.
The supreme ticket comes with a private banquet and a private chef, which the two of them don't like. Sometimes, in an overly private environment, it seems as if the air is always filled with the prying eyes and fantasies of others.
"It's enough to eat enough. In fact, the more the better!" Yu Ran said simply.
After urgently modifying the recipe, the two had the most satisfying meal of their lives.
The final option was a massage or a hot spring bath. Although I'd been to hot springs several times before and it was no longer unusual, I wasn't prepared for a massage today, as it would be extremely risky. So, after the bath, they held hands and slowly stepped into the water.
The heat was surging and I felt uneasy staying in the water, as if the aftertaste of the turbulent drifting was not over yet.
Jiang Liu lay on the shore, his back and chest exposed, his skin as white as mutton-fat jade, a blush rising. His smile made Yu Ran's heart beat wildly, eager to burst out, wanting to complete its own drifting adventure.
