I had dinner with a friend this weekend, and my foodie friend took me to a Sichuan restaurant loved by locals. The food was absolutely amazing, 👍🏻I devoured three bowls of rice! The restaurant is simply but elegantly decorated. As soon as you enter, you can see the bright flames🔥 of the woks in the open kitchen. The chefs cook each dish to order, and the dishes are still sizzling when they arrive at the table, creating a lively and inviting atmosphere❤️. ❤️Xiangjiang Chopped Chili Fish Head: The moment the lid was lifted from the dish, the aroma was intoxicating. The fish head was huge and the portion was generous. A thick layer of bright red, tempting chopped chili peppers covered the fish head. The salty and fragrant flavor was balanced with just the right amount of sour and spicy notes, instantly whetting my appetite. With a gentle nudge of the chopsticks, the 🐟fish meat easily separated and melted in my mouth. After finishing the 🐟fish, I tossed the noodles in the rich chopped chili sauce. The noodles absorbed the essence of the sauce, becoming savory and spicy. Every bite was filled with the unique flavor of the chopped chili fish head. Each slurp brought pure joy😁! ❤️Xiang Chili Pork Ribs: This dish is a rice🍚 magnet, incredibly good with rice. The refreshing Xiang chili peppers and pork ribs are stir-fried together, creating a flavorful dish! ❤️Seafood Dry-Fried Vermicelli Casserole: The 🦐shrimp were springy and flavorful. This dish is pure happiness for noodle lovers! 🏠: Baixi Bistro · Hunan & Guangdong Cuisine (Jiuqu River Branch) 📍: Jinke 9th Bend River, Yubei District (next to Deguiyuan Hotpot)

The rows and clusters of dawn redwoods by the water have turned golden yellow and orange-red. 🌲 From a distance, the tall, straight dawn redwood forest is colorful and dazzling in the sunlight.

There were even two couples taking wedding photos at the time, against the backdrop of the setting sun, which was incredibly beautiful. It's best to go with a few friends, because in such a photogenic place, you never know who might capture you in their lens, or who might take an absolutely stunning photo of you. I took photos for the three companions who were with me, and they couldn't stop praising them. They all shared them on social media and some even used them as their WeChat wallpaper, which really felt like an accomplishment.
