Walking on the Road of a Foreign Country —— The First Day of Tongren Travel Notes —— Urban Area and Ancient City

Unexpectedly, the plane took off from Pudong airport more than 2 hours late. When we were about to land at Tongren Phoenix Airport, several air currents made the plane bump several times. I woke up from my dream, and the plane descended slowly, and I could already see the night view of tongren city from south to north. The night view of Tongren is still very beautiful. Unfortunately, my cell phone was turned off and I didn't have time to take pictures.

When I got off the plane, I picked up my luggage and walked to the agreed drip cart. After finding the driver, I found it was dark around the airport. Only a few sporadic workers are directing traffic with those flashlights on their bodies.

"Why is there no light on this roadside?" I asked the driver when I got on the bus.

"Oh, we are still working here, but there is no electricity today ..." The driver answered slowly.

I was very nervous after listening to it, and I was glad that I came together with the fat cat.

Along the way, the drivers were very enthusiastic and took the initiative to find a topic to chat with us. He also seriously asked us if we would like to travel to Phoenix the next day. Although Phoenix is close to here, I said we won't go to Phoenix. I thought he wanted to do business and take us there. I didn't expect him to persuade us not to go. The ancient city of Fenghuang is in the county seat, and the holidays are particularly blocked.

The driver introduced us to the local customs along the way, emphasizing that this is an aging city. If you have a stable job here, you can still live here The driver told us to be psychologically prepared, saying that there was no McDonald's, no Pizza Hut and no Wanda.

I asked the driver, do you like big cities?

"The city is so big that I can't find my way. Waiting in line for a long time is too tiring. And there are people everywhere. I don't like it. I like this city now. " The driver answered happily.

People who know what they want must live a lot happier!

The fat cat asked about the house price here. The driver said that his friend just bought a house last week with an average price of 3,200, which is a project of Country Garden. The driver asked us if we were in a hurry, and I said nothing.

The driver explained that if you are not in a hurry, you usually drive "downhill" in neutral. Tongren is a mountain city, and the place we pass now is being developed. Following the direction pointed by the driver, we saw rows of buildings under construction. Unfortunately, the lights are dim and I can't see clearly.

When we arrived at the reserved hotel, the driver politely helped me with my luggage and said goodbye next time.

As it was past 23 o'clock when we arrived at the hotel, Fat Cat suggested ordering a barbecue! I ordered a hot and sour potato with houttuynia cordata and sour radish. I think it tastes good, but the fat cat is not used to it. I haven't eaten this spicy food for a long time. I really can't stand it.

Fat cats like delicious food. When I got up the next day, the fat cat began to search for food from public comments. We came to a tofu hotpot restaurant according to the ranking of public comments. The shop is in an alley, and we found it by asking the way. Before the store opened, the boss warmly invited us to sit inside and wait.

We asked the boss if this is a Tongren specialty, and the boss smiled and said, "Actually, it is from Chongqing, and Chongqing people like to eat tofu flowers."

After dinner, we visited Century Park and Qingshui Bridge. Most of this area is being demolished. The roar of construction machinery can be heard everywhere.

Swallow asked me how I felt here on WeChat. She suggested that we take a walk in Jinjiang Hotel. We checked. Not far. In the way that the first driver taught us. When you see a taxi, you should report your destination to the driver regardless of whether there is anyone on board. If you are on the road, the driver will say 5 yuan to get on the bus! Sure enough, a taxi came soon and took us to Binhe Park.

This is a world of old people. There are people dancing in the square dance, singing folk songs and playing cards ... I looked at the time. It's only 15:00 in the afternoon, and the square dance begins.

We also visited Tongren Ancient City and Sanjiang Square. I have no special feelings for the ancient city. I feel that the ancient cities in ethnic minority areas all look similar.

On the way to the ancient city, I met a boy who was about seven or eight years old. He is a small man, carrying a basket about his height, and actually selling tofu in the street.

There are not many tourists in the ancient city, and several teenagers are taking pictures in Hanfu. It seems that the ancient city has not really been built, and many places are closed for maintenance. We soon visited the ancient city and walked along the river.

Fat cat has always said that she wants to eat local food. He found another one in the public comment.

The food on the table has a feeling that the chef is willing to put seasoning. Among them, dry pot potatoes surprised me the most. I always thought the waiter had served the wrong dish, and the waiter explained that the potatoes were in it. Really, the whole process will become a frying pan. I can only eat tofu!

We visited several supermarkets and cake shops and bought some snacks before going back to the hotel to stay. So the first day passed. ...
