Chapter 437 Travel Experience (19)
Yang Cheng arrived at the long-distance bus station in Muse and saw the bus from Muse to Lashio.
Not only can you buy tickets through the WeChat mini-program, but you can also pay through WeChat and Alipay.
After getting on the car, the shaky vehicle drove to Lashio.
In recent years, the International Development Agency and other ministries have been supporting infrastructure construction in Shan State. In addition to water plants and power plants, building bridges and roads are also common.
The highway from Muse to Lashio was built by a Chinese company and employed local Shan State workers.
After arriving in Lashio, Yang Cheng took a look around. As expected of the largest city in Shan State, it was indeed prosperous.
Barrage:
[It’s no different from some second- and third-tier cities in China.]
【Chinese is everywhere.】
There is no exoticism at all.
[Anchor, go and see what that street is for?]
Yang Cheng took a look and turned around immediately in fright.
A group of young ladies in cool clothes were sitting on chairs by the roadside, smoking and chatting.
If you go in, your live broadcast room will be closed.
"Since you guys think it's boring, let's not take the train. I'll rent a car and we'll go on a road trip!"
As he spoke, Yang Cheng searched for a car rental company on the map.
Barrage:
【??? Really not afraid of encountering robbers】
Are you so brave?
What are these robbers? Are there still robbers in Shan State?
[I am from Shan State. Shan State is very safe now.]
Regardless of what the comments said, Yang Cheng's decision was indeed interesting. Yang Cheng rented a car for 500 yuan a day and drove to Taunggyi according to the navigation.
After leaving Lashio, the area immediately became sparsely populated and there were no roads. Although the roads were relatively flat, they were all provincial roads. Seeing the surroundings becoming increasingly desolate, Yang Cheng felt a little nervous.
However, after all, it is said on the Internet that this is the most dangerous place!
When we arrived at Donglao Town, it was already late and we were ready to find a place to rest. We searched for hotels but found that there was no hotel marked on the map.
"Brothers, the nearest hotel I found on the map is dozens of kilometers away, but it's late now, so I'm going to ask the locals where there are hotels."
While filling up at the gas station, Yang Cheng asked, "How much is a liter of gas?"
The gas station staff was stunned for a few seconds after hearing the Chinese words, and then took out a sign that read: '11 RMB per liter of gas'.
“It’s expensive enough.”
Yang Cheng complained that it was only 8 yuan in China, but it was sold for 11 yuan here.
However, considering that Myanmar itself does not have many oil fields, this is understandable.
So Yang Cheng continued to ask: "Excuse me, where is the nearest hotel?"
The staff member's eyebrows were squeezed together, almost knotted, and after thinking for a while, he walked into the house.
Barrage:
【You are making things difficult for me. 】
[The old man obviously doesn't speak Chinese.]
[Don't you guys boast that everyone in Shan State can speak Chinese? ]
Are you stupid? There are still many elderly people in China who can't speak Mandarin, and you don't allow foreigners to not speak Chinese?
[This is what a nitpicker is like.]
Soon, the staff brought out a girl who looked like a student. She blinked her big eyes and looked at Yang Cheng, "Excuse me, can I help you?"
Barrage:
[Oh, when this girl started talking, I felt like I was listening to an English translation.]
【Myanmar's little Confucius has arrived.】
【This student wants to practice Chinese with you. 】
Yang Cheng didn't read the comments, but smiled and nodded, saying, "Hello, hello. I want to drive to Taunggyi and passed by here, but it's too late now, so I want to find a place to stay. Do you have a hotel here?"
Yang Cheng spoke too fast, and the girl was a little confused. She paused for a few seconds before speaking:
"Excuse me, are you looking for a hotel to stay in?"
"Yes, the hotel."
The girl hesitated after hearing this. "I'm sorry to answer you this way, but I have to tell you frankly that our Donglao Town is not a tourist town, so there are no hotels here."
"What should we do then?"
Yang Cheng sighed helplessly, "Then do you know where the nearest hotel is?"
"I'm sorry, but I've never left the town where I was born, so I can't answer your question."
"Oh well."
Yang Cheng nodded when he thought of this and said to his phone, "Looks like I'll have to stay in the car tonight."
Hearing this, the girl immediately said, "Excuse me, it may be a bit presumptuous, but can I see your Chinese passport?"
Yang Cheng took out his passport from his bag suspiciously, but instead of handing it to the girl, he casually flipped it open and asked, "What's the matter?"
"That's right. We are very willing to provide assistance to the Chinese people."
As she spoke, the girl spoke something in Shan language to the staff, and the man immediately went back to the house.
"My father is calling the mayor now. I believe he would be very willing to serve a gentleman from China."
"puff--"
Yang Cheng couldn't help it, "No, sister, what you said is really... too formal."
"formal?"
The girl was a little confused. "Do you mean that I sound too serious?"
"No, no, I just don't use that many words when I speak."
Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Don't you usually watch Douyin or something like that?"
"Yes, I practice my Chinese through TikTok," the girl nodded. "But the teacher said those people on TikTok speak too rudely, so we can't learn from them."
"It's okay, just learn it this way."
About 10 minutes later, several cars arrived at the gas station and a group of men and women got out of the cars. As soon as they got out of the car, they surrounded Yang Cheng with a very enthusiastic attitude.
In the end, they cleaned up an empty room for Yang Cheng overnight and let him live there for free.
This made Yang Cheng feel a little embarrassed. He had planned to stay for one night and then leave, but ended up staying in the town for a few more days. He even went to the town's school to guest-teach Chinese.
Yang Cheng's video went viral after being intentionally promoted. You know, many foreigners can go viral by simply saying "I love China." But in Shan State, a group of people, upon hearing that a Chinese man had nowhere to live, were so eager to get him free housing that the entire town mobilized.
The next day they held a banquet together to entertain the guest from China.
Some people complained that this was a script and a conspiracy by Pashan.
I just want people to travel to Shan State.
This is a bit of a false accusation against Pashan, as Pashan doesn't have the brains or the mind to do so.
Moreover, fake is always fake. If it is just a rehearsal, it will be exposed soon.
This small town called Donglao Town was the territory of the Northern Shan Army a long time ago, and it was also the first place to receive "education" from the Northern Shan Army.
Therefore, the people here are naturally pro-China. They believe that it is with the help of China that their living environment has undergone such earth-shaking changes.
The atmosphere here is even more intense than in big cities like Taunggyi and Lashio.
