Evening: Return to Wuhan ---

At dawn, my one-day tour of Xuchang Pangdonglai Ancient City began. The first stop is the famous Pangdonglai. When you step into the supermarket, the neat and orderly shelves and thoughtful and meticulous service are eye-catching. A wide variety of goods are dazzling, from fresh ingredients to exquisite daily necessities, every detail shows care. The food area is even more tempting, with a fragrant aroma that makes you want to feast. After leaving Pangdonglai, I came to Xuchang Ancient City. Walking in the ancient streets and alleys, the ancient city walls tell the story of time. The Spring and Autumn Tower stands tall, and the loyal spirit of Guan Yu reading the Spring and Autumn Annals by candlelight seems to linger here. By the Baliang Bridge, the willows are drooping, and the story of Guan Yu leaving Cao Cao has been passed down for thousands of years. After shopping, I found a small shop on the street and tasted Xuchang's special food, spicy soup and hot tofu. The rich taste spread on the tip of my tongue, and I was full of happiness. From the modern Pangdonglai to the ancient Xuchang Ancient City, on this day, I felt the unique charm of Xuchang in the fusion of old and new, and I gained a lot. I look forward to meeting again next time.

❤Recommendation reason: After leaving the museum, I couldn’t help but want to go to the Cao Wei Ancient City to have a look. The Cao Wei Ancient City is to Xuchang what the Datong Ancient City is to Datong. Although the actual experience is not as amazing as imagined, but since you are here, you might as well take a look [Facepalm]. ⏳Visiting time: Maybe it was the cold winter atmosphere [Puzzle], and there were not many tourists as the New Year was approaching. I felt that the Cao Wei Ancient City had too many traces of post-modification, and there were fewer ancient monuments to see. The historical knowledge was not as comprehensive as that of the museum, but a few traces of history could be seen in the Prime Minister's Mansion. An hour is enough to spend here. ✅Must experience: The Spring and Autumn Building enshrines Guan Erye. There is another building behind the Spring and Autumn Building, which is quite large. Many people come here to check in and take photos. [Rainbow] It is recommended to visit the ancient city from north to south. After exiting the south side of the ancient city, go directly to Pangdonglai Life Plaza. There are more people during the Chinese New Year, but it is not impossible to squeeze in. Many friends who are going home buy some affordable New Year goods here. There are also many people from other places [Coke].
