Ipoh is the principal of my high school class. She is the representative of history class, and she especially respects the history and traditional culture of China. A sentence that often hangs on her lips is "I have been to so many countries, but I still find China culture the most attractive!" Ipoh's job requires traveling all over the country all the year round, and her work place is in Shenzhen. Recently, due to the epidemic, she took a break for a while, so she gritted her teeth and bought a new car, drying it in a circle of friends all day. She knows that I like photography and cars, so she contacted me and said that she hadn't been to Guangzhou for a long time and wanted to drive a new car to Guangzhou and asked me to guide her. In fact, I haven't stopped to experience or appreciate the city where I have been living for a long time. Although many people live in their own city, they often don't know about it. We yearn for poetry and distance, always want to go out, but always ignore the scenery around us. The beauty of an adult gentleman, so I did my homework and revisited this "most familiar strange city" with her.
Look at the perfect picture, our trip to Guangzhou has officially begun!
My home is near Guangzhou International Baiyun Airport, and it takes about 47 minutes from my home to Litchi Wan Yong. In other words, the time from the airport to Lai Chi Wan Chung is almost the same. For the old Guangzhou people, Lai Chi Wan Yong is a living fossil of Lingnan culture. If you want to experience the customs and habits of Guangzhou, especially its culture and heritage, Lai Chi Wan Yong is definitely a place you can't avoid. And I haven't been to Lai Chi Wan Chung for eight years, so it's time to revisit the old customs! Recall past stories.
Ipoh and I changed seats, and I became a driver. She patted the co-pilot casually.
Soon we entered the center of Guangzhou. The roads in downtown Guangzhou are relatively narrow, and the different roads under the bridge are complicated. If this is our first time to Guangzhou, we will probably get lost often.
I finally arrived in Litchi, Wan Yong. After several years, nothing has changed here. It's just that the water quality of this river has become much turbid. I wanted to add a filter to it to make it look a little face, but I don't think it is suitable to add any filter to decorate it to destroy this original and true appearance, and the litchi Bay with traces of the passage of time is its best appearance!
The history of litchi Bay can be traced back to the founding of Guangzhou more than 2,200 years ago. In 206 BC, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang sent Lv Jia to Guangzhou to surrender to Zhao Tuo. At that time, the Lujia family was stationed in today's West Village, built a mud city, planted flowers, lotus roots and lychees by the river, and began to operate this scenic spot, hence the name "litchi Bay".
Along the coast of Litchi Bay, there are many specialties that Laoguang likes best.
The hidden fireworks in trouble made me feel particularly close. 20 12 when I was in college, my freshman girlfriend lived near here. I still remember falling in love with her at that time. She took me to visit Lai Chi Wan Chung. This is my first visit to Lai Chi Wan Yong and Guangzhou Old Town. I have eaten many special foods that I have never eaten before, and I also have many memories about each other.
Familiar scenes, familiar food, but once people, have long since disappeared at the end of the sea.
Ipoh also became interested in special foods along the way. She said that she would take something back to Shenzhen when she went to Guangzhou. Her car has enough space to buy more. I quite agree with this. The space of BYD Qin is really good!
This is the legendary alms cake. You must try it when you come to Guangzhou!
There are also some small toys full of childhood memories. Here, time seems to go back, as if it were ten years ago, or even twenty years ago, when the mail was slow!
Next to Lai Chi Wan Chung, there is also a Liwan Museum, but it has not been opened to the public because the epidemic has not completely ended. Ipoh expressed some disappointment, but I said, looking forward, the scenery ahead will be better.
Along the coast of Lai Chi Wan, there are arcades with Lingnan characteristics. According to the uncle and aunt of the shop downstairs, each building has its own story.
After visiting litchi Bay, we found a place to have a rest and have a good look at Ipoh's new car!
If we only rely on this set of "Starlight" LED headlights, can you guess what kind of car Ipoh mentioned?
Give me more hints! The handsome guy who guessed right immediately left me a message, and Ipoh said that he guessed right!
All right, I won't sell it. Actually, Ipoh's car is BYD Qin. According to her introduction, this car is designed by the Dragon Face family, and the front face is a proportional three-dimensional jumping grille and starlight LED headlights. I don't know much about design! But good-looking is really good-looking It's been a long time since I saw such an amazing shape on a domestic car. This excellent design may be a big reason why Ipoh chose this car.
Ipoh asked me to take a picture with her car, so I'll take it! She said she had to show the Qin characteristics of her car. I said you should lift your skirt!
Nebula's bright LED taillights are also unique to this car. Ipoh said that when I first met this car, I saw the taillights on the road, so I chose this car later.
After watching Ipoh's new car and visiting Lichee Bay Chung, Ipoh and I parked the car and ran to Panxi Restaurant, the oldest food punch-in point next to Lichee Bay, which is only 50 meters away from Lichee Bay Chung.
Panxi restaurant is quite famous in Lingnan food culture circle. It is the largest garden restaurant in China. Together with North Park and South Park, it is called the three major garden restaurants in Guangzhou. From 2065438 to September 2006, Panxi Restaurant was selected as the "first batch of China 20th century architectural heritage".
The past life of Panxi Restaurant was the hometown of the imperial garden of Liu Chang, King of the Southern Han Dynasty, more than 65,438+0,000 years ago, and it was also the "Litchi Bay" in the past, with the characteristics of "white lotus, red plum and five spices". 1947, Guangdong native Li Wenlun founded a small restaurant full of rural customs in this "Guhuawu". Initially, it was a small restaurant with only 40 employees and 200 seats, covering an area of 400 square meters, built on the lotus pond with wood, bamboo and Chinese fir bark. The food sold is mainly dishes and snacks based on local specialties "Wu Xiu lotus root, water chestnut, arrowhead, horseshoe and bamboo shoots". Due to proper management, coupled with the call of authentic suburban dishes such as fresh shrimp sausage, Pantang water chestnut cake, Bazhen bamboo shoot emperor and suburban big fish, it won the love of the citizens and gradually spread its reputation. 1958, the restaurant was rebuilt with state investment, and resumed business two years later, and was named "Panxi" after a nearby stream. This is past lives from Panxi Restaurant!
Entering the main hall, Panxi Restaurant is mainly designed in Chinese classical style. It is the first choice for many old people to drink morning tea! Morning tea culture has a long history in Guangdong and even Guangzhou. Ipoh must have food when it comes here.
Liwan boat porridge, shrimp dumplings, chicken feet, dry fried beef river, steamed taro with ribs and Pantang water chestnut cake are all delicious morning teas with Lingnan characteristics.
Ipoh couldn't wait to pick up a piece and taste it. She said that although Shenzhen seems to be more modern than Guangzhou. However, Guangzhou's customs, historical and cultural heritage, especially its delicious food, are beyond Shenzhen's reach.
After dinner, it was already dark outside.
In the evening, Lai Chi Wan Yong finally saved a little face, and beautiful lights decorated the antique buildings here. At first glance, it is somewhat similar to the ancient city of Fenghuang!
The one-day tour of litchi Bay is over. Let's start with Ipoh's car and give me some experience in using it.
Ipoh said that the trolley had been bought for several months, but it only traveled less than 1 km. Ipoh usually travels a lot, so it's more customary to go out for a walk on weekends after buying a car. Fortunately, this car is fuel-efficient, with a fuel consumption of 6~6.5L per 100 kilometers.
The driver's LCD screen can display tire pressure, water temperature and fuel consumption; The UI of the central control and the interaction between people and cars are also quite good, and all the functions are also available.
BYD Qin, who had been driving all day, toured around Guangzhou and got a preliminary understanding of Ipoh's car. 1.5L naturally aspirated engine +CVT gearbox, the fuel consumption is really low, and there are many traffic jams in urban areas. The average fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is about 6~7L, and the fuel economy performance exceeds my expectation. Dynamic performance, stable in economic mode, linear in acceleration; Switching to sport mode has a very sensitive response, which is faster than most turbocharged models. This is very rare at present. The texture of the chassis is remarkable, and it is full of toughness at the same price, which may be related to the participation of Mercedes-Benz engineers in the adjustment. The design of the central control is also good. The floating screen of LCD is 10. 1 inch, which can be rotated. There is still a sense of science and technology.
Why did you choose this car? With this question, I asked Ipoh again. Ipoh said, first of all, the space of this car is good, 1.76 meters I feel very spacious. Secondly, in the same price range, the sound insulation is also quite excellent, which is not inferior to some luxury cars of my parents. Plus, I like the history of China, especially the culture of Qin, Han, Tang and Song Dynasties. In her view, China's culture is the deepest and most sentimental culture in the world, and Chinese characters are the most artistic culture. It can be seen that high cost performance, good car experience, and a sense of identity and enthusiasm for China culture are another reason why Ipoh chose Qin.
Ipoh said that this car is not only attractive in appearance, but also inspired by regular script, which is very textured between squares. I think she really loves this car, which is similar to what I felt when I just bought a new car.
Ipoh, as a BYD owner and a BYD fan, thinks that BYD has high hopes for Qin. Its meaning is hidden in the artistic China seal cutting characters.
Why did BYD name this compact car Qin? Ipoh believes that Qin was the first unified dynasty in the history of China. Qin destroyed Korea, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan and Qi successively, and completed the great cause of reunification, ending the 500-year-old feudal lords' separatist regime since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, ending the fragmented state of China, laying the foundation for the rule of China's unified dynasty and having a far-reaching impact on China's history more than 2,000 years later. Perhaps BYD hopes that this car can, like Qin, open up the market territory, seize the market highland, lead the future trend of BYD and even China brand cars, establish an image, and have a far-reaching and lasting impact on China automobile culture and China automobile history. This is what Ipoh thinks, the meaning of Qin!
Moreover, Ipoh also specifically talked to me about her BYD Qin's Dilink2.0 intelligent network connection system, OTA intelligent remote upgrade control system, cloud service and BYD mobile phone APP key, and she also gave me a demonstration. I have to sigh that the current car internet technology is developing really fast.
Ipoh really likes this car. I want to experience this car again. So, I'm going to go again tomorrow to verify whether my point of view is correct.
The next morning, we set out from litchi Bay for Haixinsha. Haixinsha, the Pearl River New Town, is currently recognized as the CBD in Guangzhou and the place with the highest degree of urbanization in Guangzhou. What's the difference between the charm of litchi Bay with a history of thousands of years?
The Nishimura Road passing by on the road is close to Guang Zhouta, and it sets off against the rivers and houses not far from the tower, and it feels a world of difference!
Guangzhou Opera House is located atNo. 1 Zhujiang West Road, Tianhe District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, and is one of the landmark buildings on the new central axis of Guangzhou. It is located in Tianhe CBD, adjacent to Guangdong Provincial Museum and Guangzhou Library in the east, American Consulate General in the west, Pearl River and Haixinsha in the south and Guangzhou International Financial Center in the north.
Ipoh said that at the moment of seeing Guangzhou Grand Theatre, there was really a feeling of crossing. It's also in Guangzhou, but it's only half an hour's drive from the antique litchi Bay with a thousand-year history to the Guangzhou Grand Theatre. The collision between classical art and modern art is shocking!
At this time, the sunshine overhead was very hot, and Ipoh took my umbrella without saying anything.
Suddenly, I was angry! Strong condemnation, but she disagreed, with a provocative expression on her face!
Ipoh not only embarrassed me, but also pointed at me and said, "remember this!" " "
The design of the Grand Theatre is simple and grim. From time to time, I can see some young people coming here to take pictures.
Although the Grand Theatre was closed, the transparent locked glass door attracted Ipoh's attention. She stepped forward and leaned against the glass and asked me to give her some. Although I hate it, I'd better shoot it.
The feeling of glass reflection does have a somewhat high-end feeling.
Below the Grand Theatre is a huge hollow space, which can not only shade the sun, but also take some photos, which is quite good.
When passing by here, Ipoh asked me to take a picture of her and her BYD Qin. In fact, as long as the location is well chosen, it is not impossible to take a quick photo of people and cars in CBD.
BYD Qin's side vision is very slender. From the height of Ipoh1.76m, there is no contradiction.
After experiencing Haixinsha and Guangzhou Grand Theatre, it is already afternoon. Ipoh said she still wanted to go surfing. She said that she saw a place called K 1 1 in Zhujiang New Town on the Internet and asked me to take her there. I don't think I've been to K 1 1, so go.
K 1 1 It's close to Guangzhou Grand Theatre, and it's really worth visiting.
The buildings here are dense and towering. I'm worried that acrophobia patients will look sweaty when they look up. Don't ask me how I know.
K 1 1 at night is beautiful.
The design and decoration in K 1 1 are very luxurious, and it is a place where many young people who follow the trend come to punch in. Moreover, there is a unique aroma in it, which permeates all parts of K 1 1, and the smell is very special.
First of all, find a very beautiful network celebrity punching point, which is a small library.
This small library is called "Hong Kong and Taiwan Books". It's small, but the lights inside are beautiful. In fact, it is part of a nearby cafe.
After you walk in, of course, you have to take pictures. Besides being a driver, you have to be a photographer. This trip to Guangzhou is not easy.
I seem to have a problem.
The name of this book has a little feeling. At first glance, I thought it was Guo Siniang's article, but later I found out it wasn't.
Ipoh's photo looks like a star. Can you guess?
Pretending to read and buy books, the cart is actually full of milk tea. Is that how you became the headmaster?
I have to say that the design of this library is really beautiful and unique, which makes me want to leave.
So, let's run to the next floor for a walk!
The elevator at K 1 1 is very beautiful. Any shot is a big movie. Look how happy Ipoh is.
When I went upstairs, Ipoh saw a mirror in the next window and ran to praise it. Are all the girls who like BYD Qin like this?
When I pass some beautiful shops, I have to take pictures and punch in. . .
What, you don't want to buy clothes, do you?
Is it that fragrant?
The elevator here is very grand and looks like the roots of plants.
After a long talk and taking photos, Ipoh and I continued to take the elevator to play around. At this time, a shop caught the attention of Ipoh and me.
This shop looks unremarkable, but there is a sense of mystery when you walk into it.
This is a small exhibition hall with a very simple style and full of literary atmosphere.
Ipoh tried to pretend to appreciate the painting for the sake of image.
Look at this expression, it seems that you are not very satisfied with this painting. By the way, the paintings here are all marked with prices, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. This is not simple.
There is also a very special place near here. K 1 1 can really satisfy people's curiosity.
Ipoh also imitates gestures on this wall.
Very impressive!
Ok, I get it. Come on!
After visiting K 1 1, the day is over. It means that Guangzhou go on road trip is over.
I have no problem with the appearance, space, power, sound insulation, comfort and fuel consumption of this car. I don't even mind Ipoh, a soft girl of 1.76 meters. I don't think I have a problem with a boy. It is said that the three major parts of this car were adjusted by German engineers, and the safety reached the five-star level, which is really good. This car reveals China's classical culture in many places, and it really captures people like Ipoh who love China's history and culture, have a strong sense of identity with China's culture, have requirements for car quality and pursue cost performance.
Finally, the journey is over. After talking about BYD Qin of Ipoh, I should also talk about my trip to Guangzhou eight years later. For me, this is really a process of getting to know my city again.
I have to sigh that urbanization is developing too fast, and many scenes that I was familiar with when I was young are gradually becoming vague and unfamiliar. In other words, this is not vague and unfamiliar, but completely changed and completely disappeared. When we were young, we always wanted to go out, as far away from home as possible. We feel that we have a pair of wings that can fly over mountains and oceans. I want to fly out and go far away, but when I look back, I will find that the people and things I used to know have gradually disappeared, and the traces that once existed are constantly impacted, occupied and replaced by new things. Maybe ten, twenty or thirty years later, many things will only remain in our memory. Just like the girl who once spent a beautiful youth with me and ran in the sunset, she has long since disappeared. Time is like a rolling wheel, it will only move forward and not backward. Looking back suddenly, you want to catch the tail of youth? But you can't catch it if you want to. While it's still there, while you and she are still young, while you still have a car. Let's go and drive your car to experience and record the beauty in the world. Record the temperature, speed, gentleness and anger in life with the steering wheel and camera, and freeze today's beauty; To grasp the strength of life, we should boldly and frankly reveal our feelings and attitudes. One day, you will finally understand that life is not wasted, so there is no dust flying!
In fact, I took many beautiful photos about Ipoh in go on road trip, and I'm not going to put them all on the post. As long as you support me and like me, 1000 floor will automatically unseal the welfare map!
