The same five business trip to Xi ' An, has been working and work overtime tension. As there is no significant progress in the work, the company will still be working overtime today (Sunday).
Last night to sleep late, was woke up by colleagues in the morning, it was almost 10 o'clock. Hurry to get dressed, go downstairs to eat breakfast, hit the taxi to the company is almost 11 o'clock.
In the office area, I had a simple conversation with my colleagues, and a client, about the progress of the issue, and the focus of today's work is that the version has been validated and started to work. The busy time passed quickly and it was time to have lunch.
The company canteen Sunday does not open, we walk to the neighborhood to eat noodles. Xi ' An famous snack is not noodles is steamed bun, and as the Guangdong people I, to these two things really do not raise interest, so chose a green surface. This shop is a special feature of the self-mixing noodles, when the order only need to choose the face, after serving the noodles to the automatic batching area, choose their favorite meat. I picked the fried sauce and tasted good, not as bad as I had imagined, and ate it up. Out of the doorway, found the scoop up snowflakes. Oh, this is the second time I see snow, not the first time last year in Beijing to see the excitement of snow, but still very happy.
Back in the office, my colleagues and I will do the version, direct to the customer, let him deploy and start automated testing. Then began to walk to Aglomeration.
Out of the office, I found that the snow outside was bigger and the ground was a thin layer. The two of us took pictures while we were walking, and the clothes piled up a large piece of snow, and the hands continued to pat the clothes. Then he called a taxi and went straight to the bell tower.
Clock tower
The bell tower is one of the most famous buildings in Xi ' an, which has a long history and is now located in the center of Xi ' an city. It took us almost half an hour to get to the bell tower because of the traffic jam.
Tickets 35 yuan/person, we 2 altogether 70. The tourist ticket of Xian is still very expensive, the Forbidden City of Beijing is only 40 yuan. But since come, don't leave with regret, so we without further ado, buy tickets upstairs.
The bell tower was 22 storeys, and we went to the second floor after a round of upstairs. Outside the door of the second floor, you can jump to the whole XI ' an city. The bell tower is located in the center of Xi ' an city, East 4 directions can see XI ' an wall of 4 doors.
Then on the second floor to see XI ' an all kinds of ceremonial style of bread, such as the full moon, married, very much to the funeral of the steamed bun. In short, a man's life with a bun dry.
Down to the first floor, the main hall stage is lined with a qin clock, this is the bell tower of the town building treasure. Unfortunately, we are unfortunate, the big Bell playing said that just after the end of the next one will wait half an hour. Because of the time, we ranged, and went straight to the next stop Muslim street.
Muslim Street
To Xi ' an friends will talk about Muslim street, because there are a lot of things to eat, the most suitable for foodies.
From the clock tower, walk another street to the Muslim street. Street is very lively, full of people, but the scene can not be compared with nine in Guangzhou. Both sides of the road are all kinds of barbecue, roast lamb, grilled squid, barbecue taste diffuse throughout the street. I heard that there is a meat bun once on the CCTV, my colleague last eaten once, a catchy on the spit. Of course, the inside of the bun for me, completely no interest. Eat a string of mutton, even if the finished shopping.
Colleagues have a date, leaving me a continue to the next station South Gate wall.
Xi ' an city wall
I have not done much understanding of Xi ' an city wall, only Xi ' an in the Tang Dynasty called Changan, in fact, I like the name of Chang ' an. More pleasant, the other is that I have been reading the West is not allowed to sound (Putonghua is not good for children, hurt AH).
Xi ' an city wall tickets to 56 yuan, improvise, then Ann, buy Buy buy ...
I came in from the South Gate tower, boarded the tower and walked on the long wall, the wall around and protect the city of Xi ' an (now this wall is called a ring or inner ring), inside the city, outside the city. There are doors in the central location (east-Chaoyang Gate, south-Yongning Gate, west-Yuxiang gate, north-Far away). At every door outside the city wall, you can see the couplets at the door, as well as the big door names.
Just up the wall, I do not know the whole city walls are open, so just at the beginning of the South Gate this block walk. Because tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, so a lot of lanterns on the city wall, people more lively. I went to the east, from gradually less, feel the wall of space is getting bigger and larger. At this time the cell phone power is not much, the black screen, the difficulty is the legendary low-temperature automatic shutdown, but the temperature is not low. Whatever it is, simply put your phone in your trouser pocket and enjoy the tranquility alone.
So, I put fast footsteps, as soon as possible to finish the South Gate, and then how can, also go to another door (East Gate, at that time is not clear which door).
Walk to the wall, see both sides of the building, wide field of vision, the usual troubles thrown to the outside. Finally have time to unload work and life pressure, if this moment forever fixed, how good. Do not want to work on a variety of matters, various PK and various deadline pressure, the mood has become more comfortable.
In fact, when the wall went upstairs to see the two sides can rent bicycles to ride, but worried about closing soon, there is no rent. When the south wall turned to the east wall, it was found that some passengers were riding, wondering if they were not closing so soon. Yu Shi quickly to the East Gate, find the bicycle rental point.
Price: Single car 45 yuan/2 hours, double car 90 yuan/2 hours
Riding a bicycle, swimming through the city walls, not fast. 200 Ocean deposit and 45 yuan rental fee, we got the car, and then began to ride all the way.
The north wind blows to the head, the hands feel frozen, but this freezing is not what I am. The road on the wall is paved with green bricks, uneven, worn and worn, so it rides slowly. When I rode to the north wall, there were few people, and I was the only one who rode. Feel the whole city wall for my way, in the middle also pass XI ' an railway station. I guess 30 years ago, outside the city walls must be an effective area, otherwise there is a railway station outside the city walls.
I rode also a bit cold, also a little hungry, two feet began to numb, feel the north wall longer than the east wall. In spite of this, the power to ride the entire city wall still exists. Side riding side stop face Wang Cheng outside scenery, 15 minutes or so finally the north wall rode, then the west wall, finally back to the south wall also car point, return car back deposit.
The lanterns at the south wall are finally working for visitors to enjoy. If my daughter were there, she would be so happy that she would touch the animal and die the portrait.
Only then found that the visitors more and more, to the exit to find the entrance is lined up in the queue, more crowded.
Come out after find home shop eat a rice, take a taxi back to the hotel.
