"My friends and I went on a trip to China, and in general, it was really a great country to travel to."

"Although I have had many wonderful experiences in China, I have to say that China is still inferior to Vietnam in these three points."

When chatting with friends, the Vietnamese beauty Lin Jia excitedly shared her trip to China, her eyes flashed with excitement, and her words revealed the warmth of memories. However, she turned around and began to list the places where China is inferior to Vietnam......

01

Lam Gia was born in the city of Hanoi, Vietnam, a warm and peaceful place. Although her family is not wealthy, she has always had a big dream - to visit China and experience the history and culture of that vast land.

Since she was a child, she has learned about China through books, television and the Internet, and she is deeply attracted by those ancient poems, the majestic Great Wall, and the glorious cultural heritage. Especially the Chinese food and attractions, she has long engraved those exquisite pictures in her heart.

However, the reality is not that simple. Lin Jia has always felt that he cannot afford such a trip. Although she worked as a clerk for a small company, her salary was limited, and saving enough money to travel to China became an almost unattainable dream. She often thinks that maybe she will not be able to fulfill this wish in her life.

Xiaomei is a college classmate of Lin Jia, who studied in China a few years ago and is familiar with the local language and culture. The two had discussed a lot about China together at school, and every time Xiaomei recalled her experience in China, she was always full of excitement and nostalgia. Lin Jia always looked at her with envy, and secretly decided in her heart that she would also go to see China.

One day, Xiaomei suddenly called Lin Jia and said, "Jiajia, I just came back from Beijing, and I think you should go and see it too." Don't you often say you want to come to China, why don't you try it? I can help you raise some of the cost of the tour, let's go together! ”

When Lin Jia heard this, he was so surprised that he could hardly believe his ears. "Really?" Her voice trembled, barely believing she had heard the offer. She never imagined that she could realize her travel dream with the help of others.

Xiaomei smiled on the other end of the phone and said, "Of course it's true!" You usually work so hard all the time, you should give yourself a chance to relax. My parents also support you to come, so let's plan together, and by the way, let me take you to the place where I used to live and be a tour guide for you. ”

Hearing this, Lin Jia's tears almost welled up. She had never received such care and help, and this opportunity seemed to be a precious gift from fate. She didn't hesitate any longer and decided to accept the offer.

Although her heart is still full of some apprehension, her heart is full of anticipation. She made up her mind that she must enjoy this trip and see the China she had always dreamed of.

After months of preparation, Lin Jia finally scraped together enough funds, she borrowed some money from her family, and also took out some of her small savings. She began to excitedly plan her itinerary, search for travel information about China, and fantasize about what her time in China would be like.

She fantasizes about the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Bund in Shanghai, and the Great Wall that she longs for the most. Every map, every travel guide, made her heart beat faster, as if these places had already taken root in her heart.

Finally, in the early morning, Lin Jia embarked on a flight to China with a full amount of luggage. She is full of longing for the future, and her heart is full of endless expectations. Sitting on the plane, she clutched her passport tightly and kept recalling the sights of China she had seen from books and television.

When Lin Jia's flight landed at Beijing's capital airport, she was greeted with a completely different scene from Vietnam. As soon as she stepped out of the airport, she was struck by the air and the flow of people in Beijing. The city had everything she could have imagined: tall buildings, wide streets, busy people. Compared to the alleys and leisurely pace of Hanoi, Beijing seems so vibrant and rhythmic.

"Xiaomei, it's really too big, I've never seen such a busy city." After Lin Jia took the luggage at the airport gate, he couldn't help but sigh.

Xiaomei smiled and nodded: "This is the capital of China, full of opportunities and challenges. I was shocked when I first arrived, but as I got used to it, I realized that the charm was endless. ”

Lin Jia got into Xiaomei's car and passed through the streets of Beijing. Her eyes were fixed on the car window, and she was amazed by the ever-changing scenes: towering office buildings, modern shopping malls, and even the array of goods on the bustling commercial streets. She saw many young people walking the streets, dressed fashionably and in a hurry, and the atmosphere of the city gave her a feeling of excitement and a little strangeness.

"Come, let's take you to taste Beijing's special food first." Xiaomei took her to a time-honored restaurant. The environment in the restaurant is simple and elegant, and the surrounding walls are covered with traditional Chinese calligraphy and paintings, and the strong cultural atmosphere makes Lin Jia feel the profundity of Chinese tradition at once.

Lin Jia ordered a dish of Peking duck, and when it was first served, the aroma came to his nose. She couldn't wait to pick up a slice of duck meat, dip it in the sweet noodle sauce, and put it in her mouth. The charred outside and tender inside made her instantly intoxicated, "Wow, it's so delicious!" It's even more delicious than I imagined, it's a human delicacy! ”

Next, Xiaomei took her to visit Tiananmen Square, the Palace Museum, the Summer Palace and other places. Lin Jia was deeply shocked by every place, especially standing in front of the solemn and majestic palace of the Forbidden City, she couldn't help but whisper: "These buildings are really witnesses of thousands of years of history, standing here, I seem to be able to hear the echoes of the past." ”

However, the size and hustle and bustle of Beijing still made Lin Jia a little uncomfortable. She is accustomed to the quiet streets and gentle pace of Vietnam, but the rhythm of Beijing seems to be full of rush and rush every second. "Everything is so fast here, it's really different from our hometown." While sighing, she chatted with Xiaomei about her impression of Beijing.

But it's not just the bustling cityscape that has opened Lin Jia's eyes, but also China's modernization in every detail. For example, the sharing bikes and electric scooters she saw on the streets of Beijing. She was so surprised by these green ways of getting around that she downloaded an electric car sharing app at Xiaomei's suggestion to experience a quick and convenient city trip.

"It's so convenient! In Hanoi, although there are also bike-sharing, we are not yet so popular, which is really eye-opening. Lin Jia said with a happy smile.

In addition to these modern facilities, Lin Jia also noted the public health situation in China. She and Xiaomei took the train from Beijing to Shanghai together, and the carriage was spacious and clean, without a trace of peculiar smell. She remembers that she used to take a Vietnamese train, and she always smelled some bad smells, and this train was not only quiet, but even exuded a fresh smell in the carriages.

"The train station and carriages here are really well managed, and they are cleaner and cleaner than I expected." Lin Jia sighed.

"This is China's railway system." Xiaomei replied with a smile, "I have always felt that China's railway service is doing very well, especially in the big cities, where the sanitation and facilities are well managed. ”

In Shanghai, Lin Jia continues to explore this modern city. She walked on the Bund, facing the breeze, looking at the bustling high-rise buildings on both sides of the Huangpu River, and her heart was excited. The night in Shanghai is particularly enchanting, with colorful neon lights illuminating the entire city, and Lin Jia is fully immersed in this beautiful night view. She pulled out her phone and captured the moment, thinking it would be the best piece of her memory.

"Traveling in China is really a new experience, and each city has its own unique charm." Lin Jia sighed.

The past few days of travel have given Lin Jia many new experiences and feelings, and she has gradually begun to adapt to this strange and exciting country. In China, she not only experienced the rich history and culture, but also felt the prosperity of modernization.

As Lin Jia enters her second week of travel in China, her mood is still full of excitement and freshness. Each city in China has its own unique charm that dazzles her, but at the same time, she also finds something that makes her a little uncomfortable.

After this time of travel, Lin Jia began to realize that while China had many aspects of China that she loved, there were also some places that were not as perfect as she imagined.

The first thing that came to her mind was the issue of prices. In the beginning, she was always keen to try local snacks and specialty restaurants on the streets of Beijing and Shanghai, but when she turned around and did the math, she found that the costs were much higher than she had imagined.

In Vietnam, she was able to enjoy hearty food on a relatively small budget, while in China, she felt that a slightly higher quality restaurant would be much more expensive than most of the restaurants she could eat in Vietnam.

"I remember in Vietnam, I could eat very much for the same price, but here I seem to have to put more effort into choosing." She and Xiaomei sat in a restaurant in Shanghai, their brows furrowed slightly. "Although Chinese cuisine is indeed very distinctive, the price is really high if you want to eat it better."

Xiaomei sighed: "Indeed, especially in big cities, prices are not low. China's F&B industry is largely tied to people's spending levels, so some places may be really expensive. ”

Lin Jia remembered the fast food she used to eat in Shanghai and Beijing, and although she always ate good food, she still felt a little disappointed. "I used to fantasize about being able to eat a lot of food in China, but these high consumption really made me feel the pressure of life."

But prices weren't the only discomfort Lin Jia felt. During her travels in China, she gradually realized that despite the extremely fast-paced and fast-paced city life in China and the dizzying number of modern facilities, there are some things that are completely different from life in Vietnam that have always buried some small regrets in her heart.

Among them, the most disappointing thing for her is the scarcity and high price of Chinese flowers. Flowers can be found everywhere in Vietnam, from roadside stalls to flower shops in shopping malls. Especially in Vietnamese festivals, flowers are a must-have decoration for almost every family, and the price is low and varied, and sending flowers to home has become a way for many people to express their hearts.

However, during Lin Jia's travels in China, she rarely saw people giving or buying flowers. She walked through flower shops in Beijing and Shanghai, where there were fewer varieties of flowers and the prices were very high. The price of an ordinary bouquet of roses is actually more expensive than the number of flower shops she bought in Vietnam, and the number of florists is far less than that in Vietnam.

"Why are the flowers so expensive here?" Lin Jia asked Xiaomei, her eyes lingering on the window of the flower shop.

Xiaomei frowned slightly: "This is indeed a little different, in China, flowers are mostly used for some special festivals or anniversaries, and people are more inclined to express their feelings in other ways." Florists are also not as popular, and the culture of sending flowers is not as prevalent as in Vietnam. ”

Lin Jia was silent for a while, she had never realized the difference in flower culture, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of loss in her heart. She remembers that on the streets of her hometown, friends would always send each other a bouquet of flowers or decorate their homes. In China, it seems that there are very few people who send flowers, which makes her a little disappointed.

In addition to this, Lin Jia also discovered a surprising detail, and that is the type and taste of the fruit. Vietnam's tropical climate makes for an extremely rich variety of fruits, from mangoes, durians, longans to a variety of tropical fruits, you can find fresh and delicious fruits almost all year round.

Although Chinese fruits are also fresh, most fruits have a clear seasonality, especially in winter, and many fruits are not easy to buy.

"In Vietnam, fruits are available almost all year round, and there are a lot of varieties. And in China, especially in winter, some of my favorite tropical fruits are not available. Lin Jia said helplessly, "I think that Vietnamese fruits are the most delicious in the world, and there is no one." ”

Xiaomei nodded: "It's true that some Chinese fruits are not delicious outside of the season, and the price is also very high. In some places, the price of fruit is much higher than the actual value of the local area because of the inconvenience of transportation. ”

For Lin Jia, the differentiation of fruits has also become another regret of her trip. As much as she loves Chinese food and attractions, there is always a gap in her heart: the fruits she can often taste in her hometown of Vietnam. Whenever she sees the price tag for Chinese fruits, her mind goes back to her hometown, to the tropical fields and orchards.

After returning to China, she chatted with her friends and said frankly: "Although China is good, I still feel that these three aspects are inferior to Vietnam." ”

"Perhaps, in the future, I will go to China and explore more places. But no matter where I go, the warmest place in my heart is always my hometown. Lin Jia said this, smiling and looking into the distance.

I think that prices vary from region to region in China, and attitudes towards flowers and fruits vary from person to person, so we can't generalize. What do you think? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss!
