Preface
When I was traveling in Europe before, my friends in Europe took me to meet several European friends, and one of them was an Indian beauty who was also traveling in Europe.
Later, after we got to know each other, I invited her to travel to China for a few days. She gladly accepted.
As her Chinese friend, I acted as a tour guide, and I also hope that more foreign beauties will know China and see the beautiful side of China.
However, this time I didn't expect that this Indian beauty would say after a few days that China is not suitable for tourism, why?
Indian beauties come to China
Aya is full of strong interest in China, for her, after all, she has heard of China when she was abroad, and she has also come to China, but she suffers from no one to lead, so she does not go to many places, and she does not know much about China, and now there is me as a Chinese leader, she has been talking to me when she is abroad and is looking forward to it.
We took the suspended monorail, which was her guide, but it was actually the first time I had taken it.
Standing in that railroad car, we could see through the glass to the ground. "You see, through this layer of glass, you can see the train moving very fast, looking at the ground, curious, as if we are walking in the air. Aya's eyes shone with curiosity and excitement, and she looked nervously and expectantly at the transparent ground.
"yes, it's my first time trying it, because it's not universal yet. ”
"But I can't see a car like this abroad!" Aya sighed: "From the perspective of the infrastructure of the countries I have seen, there is really no country like China, and the gap is really too big." I have never experienced this kind of convenience before. ”
She also said that among the countries she has visited before, only China's railway construction has truly been based on the needs of the people.
I've also been abroad and seen that in many countries, the construction of new railways tends to get bogged down in long profitable analyses. This profit-oriented mindset has ultimately led to the stranding of many rail projects.
"In some countries in Europe, you can see these railroad tracks that have been abandoned and abandoned because they do not bring the expected profits. Aya said.
In China, the terrain is diverse, and many areas are steep, but China still lays these railways at any cost, and the construction of railways has a completely different look.
For example, the Zhengxi high-speed railway and the Guiguang high-speed railway, although the construction cost is high and the profit is limited, they still insist on completion, the purpose is only to ensure the convenience of people's travel and connect remote areas.
"After I really experienced China's smooth and spacious transportation, my admiration for China came naturally. She said.
For foreign friends like Aya, these scenes of China are not visible to them in their own country.
Because we were still some distance from our next destination, I placed an order, and in a few moments, a car without a driver stopped in front of us. "It's so cool! It's a driverless car!" Aya said in surprise.
We enter the car, just enter the code and the car starts automatically.
I remember in the car she told me about her first interesting experience in China, and we both laughed for a while.
That day, Aya had just gotten off the long-distance bus, was very thirsty, and urgently needed water. Looking around, there is only one small store that looks like a convenience store. She walked in, only to find that the store was quiet, there was not even anyone shopping, and what was even more strange was that even the shopkeeper was sleeping soundly behind the counter.
"Well, what should I do?" Aya wondered in her heart, whether to wake up the sleeping shopkeeper, or to look for it in another place. But being in a strange place, and being so thirsty, she didn't want to go far.
Just then, footsteps rang out at the door, and a Chinese customer walked in and headed straight for the freezer. Aya looked curiously, the man took a bottle of drink, walked straight to the cash register, took out his mobile phone, scanned a blue card, and then, with a "drop", a message popped up: "Alipay has arrived at 5 yuan." Then the man was ready to go.
Aya was so stunned that she hurriedly stepped forward to inquire, and the Chinese customer patiently explained to her, and finally enthusiastically helped her pay.
"Thank you so much to that person, this is my first experience in China, and I am really lucky to have met such a wonderful person. Aya said gratefully.
From beginning to end, the shopkeeper never woke up, and Aya couldn't help but sigh, what a good quality of sleep this must be!
"Where I come from, even in big cities, there are places where you have to watch out for thieves, and everyone is very wary. She said.
When we arrived at our destination, a message flashed on the monitor telling us that we had arrived. Aya was impressed by the autonomous driving experience, "It's incredible!"
Experience Chinese cuisine
In the evening, I decided to take her to experience the Chinese night market culture. For foreigners who come to China for the first time, this experience is definitely not to be missed.
We enter a bustling snack street lined with stalls and the air fills the air with all sorts of appealing aromas. Her eyes sparkled with the scent, and I led her through a variety of local delicacies, such as skewers and octopus meatballs.
But what really made this night unforgettable was when she first met stinky tofu. She frowned and asked me, puzzled, "What does this smell like? How does it feel like something broken?"
I laughed, knowing that she had misunderstood, so I explained to her, "This is actually a very distinctive delicacy called stinky tofu." While its smell is impressive, the taste is definitely beyond your expectations. ”
After some encouragement, she finally mustered up the courage to try a small bite. She savored it carefully, "Well, it's really good! Especially the soup in the tofu is so delicious!" she said in surprise.
I thought I'd take her to taste something else, but she said she was too full and I had to give up. Just as we were about to leave, we were stopped by several enthusiastic aunts and uncles.
She not only has a beautiful appearance, but also speaks Chinese fluently, which naturally attracts a lot of curious eyes.
The enthusiasm of the aunts and uncles was really touching, they not only chatted with her for a long time, but also took photos together, and finally enthusiastically recommended local food to her, telling her which one tastes the most authentic.
Later, she said to me: "I used to think that Chinese were very introverted, but it was not like this, China is not what I thought it would be." ”
The experience of that night not only allowed her to taste the charm of Chinese food, but also made her feel the warmth and friendliness of the Chinese people.
She told me: "I used to have a vague understanding of China, but I didn't expect to come here and everything was different from what I imagined. I'm blown away by China's development, how did you manage to make such a huge change in such a short period of time?"
I couldn't talk about this question for a while, but I explained to her that the reason why China has been able to achieve today's development is largely due to everyone's hard work. We talked a lot and discussed the development of China and how China differs from other countries.
Although the pace of life abroad is enviable, the convenience and speed of development in China are also very admirable.
She hadn't been in China for long, and after a few days of the trip I took her to the airport, where we came to a huge airport where Aya was standing and watching everything around her. "The level of modernization in China is truly amazing. She sighed. She mentioned that many of the countries she has visited and thinks that even the airports of some European countries combined are not as large and equipped as they are.
epilogue
Finally, Aya told me that she was looking forward to coming to China again, "I was really impressed by coming to China this time, but I won't come next time." ”
"What, what's wrong?" I was shocked.
She smiled and said, "China is very different from my country, and there are still many things I don't know about China, so if you are willing to come and be my tour guide next time, then I will be very happy." ”
I smiled and replied, "Of course, you are welcome to come back to China at any time, there are many beautiful places waiting for you to explore." "We are both looking forward to meeting again in the future.
