Chapter 812 The scenery along the way
After entering the city, Ye Tian and the others did not go home immediately, but took their parents and drove along the ring to the Financial Street in Xicheng District.
Not long after, the convoy successfully arrived at the Financial Street next to the West Second Ring Road and stopped at the entrance of a famous domestic bank.
Next, Ye Tian and his friends kept most of the antique artworks they carried in the vault at the bank headquarters.
The vault was leased by Taylor and two Beijing lawyers in the morning, so it was naturally in the name of Ye Tian. It was very flexible until they left Beijing!
This vault has a high safety factor, and it is the heart of China's financial industry. It is safe and natural and safe, so you can keep 120 hearts.
After preserving the antique artwork, Ye Tian and the others were ready to go home.
The convoy quickly left the Financial Street and drove onto the West Second Ring Road again.
Inside the GMC business car, Ye Tian asked:
"Dad, mom, should we go back to our own home or to our grandparents' house?"
My dad looked at the dim sky outside the car window, then turned around and said:
"Go to your grandpa's house first, let's live there tonight. Your grandma knew you were going to bring Betty back. She was talking about these days every day, and she was almost counting the days with her fingers.
Why don't you go there as soon as possible and be careful that your grandfather will sell your legs. Your second uncle and sister-in-law will all come here, just waiting to welcome you.
We will go home and rest for a while tomorrow morning. We will also go to your grandpa’s house in the afternoon. There is a family there waiting to see you kid. Be mentally prepared, it’s enough for you kid to make trouble!"
"Okay! Just hold on, I will definitely serve all my relatives and friends so that everyone can feel comfortable and smile, and be so happy that I can't find the southeast, west and north!
Before I came back, I was mentally prepared and had sufficient physical reserves. Even if I opened the mat every day, I could watch it. No matter how hard I tried, I would be happy!”
Ye Tian said excitedly, his eyes full of anticipation.
"You can open a mat every day? You really dare to think about it! Less stinking and beautiful!"
My mother smiled and said, also very excited.
Then, Ye Tian told the business car driver the address of his grandfather's house and also notified the two Land Rover Range Rover that he followed behind.
Soon, the convoy drove onto Funei Street and quickly drove towards the East City.
This is a new street, and there is a new view outside the car window. Betty's eyes were attracted by it again. She was dazzled and her eyes were almost out of reach, and she kept admiring.
Ye Tian, a native of Beijing, is naturally the only candidate for the volunteer tour guide.
"This is Miaoying Temple, commonly known as Baita Temple. It is a Gelug Sect temple in Tibetan Buddhism. It was built in the Yuan Dynasty and has a history of more than 700 years. It is very long.
The towering white pagoda in the temple is the earliest and largest Lama pagoda in China, and is also one of the first batch of key cultural relics protection units in New China.
"The white tower is really unique and beautiful, and has a bit of exotic style, which looks very different from other ancient buildings on the street."
"That's right! The shape of this white pagoda originated from India and was introduced to China through Nepal. It integrates the architectural style of stupas from China and Nepal, with a strong exotic style!"
Ye Tian explained the information related to Baita Temple, and he could do everything at will, without even stuttering.
This is a city where I grew up in life. Although there have been quite a change in recent years, historical buildings like Baita Temple have not changed much.
After entering the field of antique art collection, he not only studied Western antique art in depth, but also put a lot of effort into Chinese antique art, and he has long been familiar with all of this.
After hearing this professional explanation, a hint of surprise flashed in Ye Tian’s parents’ eyes.
At this time, they were even more convinced that their son had indeed become a top antique art appraisal expert, with rich professional knowledge and background, not just a lucky guy!
Drive eastward along Funei Street to the end, the convoy turns right to Xisi South Street, goes forward for a few hundred meters, then turns left to Xi'anmen Street, and continues to drive eastward.
During this period, Betty was always enjoying the scenery outside the car window with great enthusiasm, while Ye Tian continued to act as her volunteer tour guide.
"This is one of the representatives of Huguo Temple snacks, local snacks in Beijing. They have rich varieties, outstanding characteristics, and have a profound historical and cultural heritage. I will take you to taste them in two days. I believe you will like them..."
The convoy continued to move forward, and Betty suddenly pointed out of the window and asked curiously:
"Where is behind that gray wall? Why are there a tall wall surrounded by a large number of trees inside, so the scenery should be beautiful, right?"
Looking at the high wall she was pointing to, Ye Tian and his parents couldn't help laughing.
"Of course it is beautiful. In the past, there were royal gardens, places for emperors of all dynasties to visit and feast. Now it is the headquarters of China, and its status is just like the White House in the United States!"
"Wow! I know where this is!"
Betty exclaimed while covering her mouth, then spitted her tongue mischievously, quickly retracted her eyes, and never dared to ask again, with a fearful expression.
"Hahaha"
Ye Tian and his parents both laughed and were overjoyed.
Obviously, the United States has a wrong understanding of China, and Betty is no exception.
This is the result of hostile propaganda. I believe that as the world becomes more open and information exchanges are more frequent, this misunderstanding will be completely eliminated one day without the need for explanation.
The convoy quickly drove up Wenjin Street. Two large areas of frozen and smooth lake surface appeared outside the windows on both sides, and Ye Tian's explanation followed.
"To the left is Beihai Park, which was once a royal garden with beautiful scenery and is one of the oldest, most complete, most comprehensive and representative royal gardens in China.
This is now an open park, and it is worth visiting. No matter any season of the year, Beihai Park has very attractive views.
Tourists from other places like spring, summer and autumn, with flowers in clusters and beautiful Beihai Park, but Beijing children like Beihai Park the coldest winter.
Every winter, Beihai Park Ice Rink can be said to be one of the most lively places in Beijing. It embodies many memories of people when they were young, including me!
On our right is the Zhonghai Sea, which used to be a royal garden. It is not open to the public. Visitors can only stand on the bridge to enjoy the scenery inside, which is also very beautiful.
The building on the left side of the bridge head in front is called Tuancheng. It was built in the Jin Dynasty and has a history of more than 800 years. It is a green pearl embedded between the North Sea and Zhongnanhai... "
Amid Betty's stuttering, the convoy quickly drove through the group city.
What appeared in front of everyone was a magnificent city wall, towering corner towers, wide moats, and the royal atmosphere that was coming!
"I know what kind of building this is. This is the Forbidden City, the largest royal palace complex in the world. I have seen pictures of it in countless places. Wow! It's so magnificent!"
Betty said with a browning look, almost jumping out of her seat with excitement.
Although I have seen many reports, related videos and pictures related to the Forbidden City before, when I witnessed this magnificent building standing in front of me, Betty was still completely shocked by this royal atmosphere!
And this is just a corner of the Forbidden City. If she is allowed to be in the forbidden City and visit it, her performance will definitely be even more exaggerated!
Not only Betty, but the other two Americans in the Range Rover Range Rover also looked at the magnificent building ahead with dull expressions.
Ye Tian nodded with a chuckle and the explanation began again.
Chapter completed!
