Ipoh is the principal of my high school class. She is a representative of the history class, with special respect for China's history and traditional culture. 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. She is based in Shenzhen. Recently, because of the epidemic, she took a break for a while, so she gritted her teeth and bought a new car, drying the car in a circle of friends all day. Knowing that I like photography and cars, 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, so she asked me for guidance. 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 cities, they often don't know the city. We yearn for poetry and distance, always want to go out, but always ignore the scenery around us. The beauty of a gentleman as an adult, 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 local customs 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.
I switched seats with Ipoh, and I became a driver, and she patted casually on the co-pilot.
Soon we entered the center of Guangzhou. The roads in downtown Guangzhou are relatively narrow, and the different roads under the bridge are more complicated. If this is our first time to Guangzhou, we may often get lost.
Finally, I came to Litchi, Wan Yong. After several years, there hasn't been much change here. Only this river, the water quality has become much turbid. Originally, I wanted to add a filter to make it look a little face, but I don't think it is suitable to add any filter to decorate it, to destroy the original true appearance, and the litchi Bay with traces of years is its best appearance!
The history of litchi Bay can be traced back to the time when Guangzhou was founded 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 make me feel particularly close. When 20 12 went to college, the girlfriend of a freshman lived near here. I still remember falling in love with her at that time, and she took me to visit Lai Chi Wan Yong. The first time I went to Lai Chi Wan Yong and the old town of Guangzhou, I ate a lot of special food that I had never eaten, and I also had many memories of 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 she would bring something back to Shenzhen when she went to Guangzhou. Her parking space is big enough 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 the museum has not been opened to the public because the epidemic has not completely ended. Ipoh expressed some disappointment, but I said, looking ahead, the scenery ahead will be better.
Along the coast of Lai Chi Wan, there are arcades with Lingnan characteristics. According to the aunt in the shop downstairs, each building has its own story.
After visiting litchi Bay, I found a place to have a rest and have a good look at Ipoh's new car!
If you only rely on this set of "Starlight" LED headlights, guess what 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 scaly 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 brilliant design may be a big reason why Ipoh chose this car.
Ipoh asked me to take a photo with her car, so I did! She said that she must show her car to Qin. I said you should lift your skirt!
Nebula's bright LED taillights are also unique to this car. Ipoh said that the first time I 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 our car and ran to Panxi Restaurant, the oldest food punch point next to Lichee Bay, only 50 meters away from Lichee Bay Chung.
Panxi restaurant is very 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 architectural heritages in China in the 20th century".
The past life of Panxi Restaurant was 1000 years ago, the hometown of the imperial garden in Changlu, the king of the Southern Han Dynasty, and it was also the "Litchi Bay" in the past, featuring "white lotus and red lychee, fragrant and beautiful". 1947, Guangdong native Li Wenlun founded a small restaurant full of rural customs in this "Guhuawu". At first, it was a small restaurant with only 40 employees, 200 seats and an area of 400 square meters, which was built on the lotus pond with wood, bamboo and fir bark. The food sold is mainly dishes and snacks based on the local specialty "Pantang Wu Xiu" (lotus root, water chestnut, arrowhead, horseshoe and bamboo shoots). Due to proper management, coupled with the call of suburban authentic suburban dishes such as fresh shrimp sausage, Pantang horseshoe cake, Bazhen bamboo shoot emperor and big fish, it won the public's love and word of mouth gradually spread. 1958, the restaurant was rebuilt with state investment, and resumed business two years later, and was named "Panxi" after a nearby stream. This is the past life of Panxi Hotel!
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. Besides, when Ipoh comes, there must be food.
Liwan boat porridge, shrimp dumplings, chicken feet, dry fried beef river, steamed taro with ribs, Pantang horseshoe cake and so on 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 looks more modern than Guangzhou. Guangzhou's customs, historical and cultural details, 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 dotted 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 luggage case had bought it for several months, but it only drove less than 1k m. 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 saves fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6~6.5L per 100 kilometers.
The driver's LCD 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 the functions are also available.
BYD Qin, who has been driving all day, visited 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 is beyond my expectation. Dynamic performance, stable economic model, accelerated linearity; Switching to sports mode is very responsive and faster than most turbocharged models. This is very rare at the moment. 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. LCD floating screen 10. 1 inch, which can be rotated. There is still a sense of technology.
Why did you choose this car? With this question, I asked Ipoh again. Ipoh said, first of all, this car has a good space, 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 most profound and sentimental culture in the world, and Chinese characters are the most artistic. 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, and the squares are very textured. I think she really loves this car, just like 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 seal cutting characters of China.
Why did BYD name this compact car Qin? Ipoh believed that Qin was the first unified dynasty in the history of China. Qin dynasty successively destroyed Korea, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan and Qi, thus completing the great cause of reunification, ending the 500-year feudal separatist regime since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, ending the state of China's division, laying the foundation for the rule of China's unified dynasty, and having a far-reaching impact on the history of China 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 and what Qin means!
Moreover, Ipoh also talked to me about her. BYD Qin has Dilink2.0 intelligent network connection system, OTA intelligent remote upgrade control system, cloud service, and BYD mobile phone APP key, and she also showed me. I have to sigh that the current car internet technology is developing really fast.
Ipoh really loves 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, or 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?
Xicun Road, which passes by on the road, is close to Guang Zhouta, and is in harmony with the rivers and houses not far from the tower. It feels like a lifetime ago!
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. Located in Tianhe CBD, it is 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 Finance Center in the north.
Ipoh said that the moment I saw the Guangzhou Grand Theatre, I really had a feeling of crossing. It is also in Guangzhou, but it is only half an hour's drive, from the antique litchi Bay with a thousand years of 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 cold. From time to time, I can see some young people coming here to take pictures everywhere.
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. I'm reluctant, but let's shoot.
The reflective feeling of glass 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 car 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 view is very slender. Judging 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. People who are afraid of heights are sweating as soon as they look up. Don't ask me how I know.
K 1 1 at night is beautiful.
K 1 1 The design and decoration inside 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 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.
It seems that you have a problem with me.
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, in fact, the cart is 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 blockbuster. 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 you pass by some beautiful shops, you 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 seems inconspicuous, but there is a sense of mystery when you walk in.
This is a small exhibition hall with simple style and full of literary atmosphere.
Ipoh tried to pretend to appreciate the painting for its 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. It 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, the1.76m soft girl. I don't think I have a problem with a boy. It is said that the three parts of this car are all adjusted by German engineers, and the safety has 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 the quality of the car and pursue cost performance.
Finally, the journey is over. After talking about BYD Qin of Ipoh, it's time to talk about this trip to Guangzhou after eight years. 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 familiar scenes in my youth are gradually becoming blurred 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 think we have a pair of wings that can fly over mountains and oceans. I want to fly and go far away, but when I look back, I will find that the people and things I once knew have gradually disappeared, and the traces that once existed are constantly impacted, occupied and replaced by new things. Maybe in ten, twenty or thirty years, many things will only stay 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 I can't catch it if I 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. Use the steering wheel and camera to keep the temperature, speed, gentleness and anger in life and freeze today's beauty; Grasp the strength of life and show your feelings and attitudes boldly and frankly. One day, you will understand that life is not wasted, so there is no dust flying!
Actually, I took a lot of beautiful photos of Ipoh in go on road trip, and I don't intend to put them all on the post. As long as you support me and give me some advice, 1000 floor will automatically unseal the welfare map!
