preamble

Dafang is handsome because

do all

Achieve all of Xiaoqi's good mood

In 2018, Dafang flew solo and had already run the Guangzhou Marathon.

I was the only one who won the 2019 Guangzhou Marathon, so I said I couldn't go, but Dafang refused. He knew that I had never been to Guangzhou, and he must take me, a northerner with high loess slopes, to see the prosperity and strength of a first-tier city.

In 2019, the Guangzhou Marathon Organizing Committee made a small trick, setting up a special viewing area for starting and finishing spectators. Five hundred places were also drawn and quietly applied. With God's love, Dafang was selected.

The two of them were traveling together, one athlete and one spectator, both of whom had ID cards.

Day 1 (2019.12.7)

We set off at 4:30 in the morning and caught the 7:00 a.m. flight. At 9:19, we were standing under the blue sky and white clouds of Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, the first-tier city at the southernmost tip of the motherland.

It is sunny today and tomorrow. Guangzhou understands my heart best.

Take the subway to the place where the entry items are collected ~ Exhibition Hall 15.1, Zone C of the China Import and Export Fair (Pazhou Exhibition Hall).

There are many exhibition halls here, and various exhibitions have been held over the years. China's most famous Canton Fair is held here. It is the "first exhibition in China".

Then take the subway to Yantang District, where the accommodation is booked.

If you want to eat Cantonese rice noodles at noon, Baihao Restaurant is close to your doorstep. It is lunch time, and the restaurant is full, almost full.

Find a small table and sit down, brew a cup of black tea first, salty citrus gravy soup, bamboo fuguo pork tripe pot, Baihao gold medal roast goose, freshly cooked beef sausage noodles, and a pig's hoof. The store owner asks how many of you are dining. There are two of you.

Then don't order pig hooves anymore. It's almost enough. The soup tastes salty and sweet. Will you get used to it?

No! No!

The salty and sweet citrus, small ones, should be kumquat, served with some Yao Zhu, some minced pork, and covered with a layer of egg liquid. The soup is clear and clear, the soup is fresh but not greasy, and the aftertaste is sweet. It is our favorite habit.

We are hungry, right? We admire every bite. We can't eat more reserved.

Cantonese people do not like spicy food. The dishes are mainly salty and sweet, light salt, and pay attention to health preservation. Tea is often used instead of wine during meals. They are mild carnivores, and they can make delicious food handed down from generation to generation only with animal viscera.

Tasting Guangzhou cuisine is also one of the goals of this trip.

In the afternoon, check in Chen Academy ~ Chen Family Temple.

Located on Zhongshan Seventh Road, Guangzhou City, the academy was built in 1888. It has endless stories, and every corner of it still tells stories of a longer time.

I was surprised at first glance. The Ukiyo-e technique is perfectly presented on the roof of the blue brick building. The years have made the blue bricks and gray tiles slightly yellow, and the rich glaze color makes the colorful roof even more outstanding and amazing.

Every brick here, an eaves, a roof roof, a window, a collection, and even a corner here seem to be a living narrator.

Facing the exquisite ceramic collections, unique wood carvings, stone carvings, brick carvings, clay sculptures, gorgeous eaves and brightly colored roofs, I can't help but sigh and marvel. This is really a grand art hall of folk decoration and the most cultural and artistic museum in Lingnan.

Tickets are only 10 yuan. Tomorrow's marathon runner Xiaoqi can visit for free, and tomorrow's starting audience guest Dafang also enjoys free treatment.

The old streets in Guangzhou should have been widened but are still very narrow. The pedestrian path reserved for pedestrians is even narrower. The banyan tree next to the road actually occupies more than half of the sidewalk. The road surface is also arched by tree roots and is uneven. It has been repeatedly warned by Dafang students not to look at your mobile phone when you walk and be careful of your step.

Unconsciously, you can stroll into the antique night market in Wenchang Ceramics and Jade Craft Market, where you have all kinds of beads, abacus, ceramic products, silver coin coins, snuff bottles, calligraphy and painting, etc., etc., and show your ability to recognize pearls with your discerning eyes.

A buyer took a fancy to a rough stone and begged the seller to sell the deal at twenty twenty. The buyer held the stone and hesitated for half a minute. The seller gave up and started the price on the ground. He refused to sell it at twenty, but the price rose by thirty...

I feel like acting is like it. Dafang said that the twenty-thirty things are not enough for the performance fee.

Haha, that's right. I don't know anything about these treasures at all.

It was getting late, so dinner was ready first. The old shop on the roadside was brightly lit. Wu Zhanji, a time-honored brand in Xiguan, was not very hungry, and couldn't move his steps. It was just enough to walk into the old shop.

The first prize porridge, mandarin duck and sausage, one serving is 18 yuan, one serving is 16, and 34 yuan will make dinner.

Shangxiajiu is the busiest at night. It is another place where tourists gather. Today, I need to hurry up and buy some snacks at Lianxiang Tower. I don't think I will have time to go shopping leisurely tomorrow.

Everyone is queuing at the entrance of Emperor Huang's shop. I also love to queue up. I lined up first, and then sent Dafang students to see what the queue is for. It turns out that they are queuing up to buy sausages. Some buyers will immediately ask the roadside delivery boy to deliver them.

I bought it too! For this reason, I made a special trip to the sausage experience store on the second floor of the store to observe the pot rice and find a feeling. When I get home, I can make the pot rice that Dafang classmates love.

I went back to the hotel, went to bed early, and I still have to get up early tomorrow.

The next day (2019.12.8)

It starts at six o'clock and takes the subway from where you live to the South Square of Tianhe Sports Center. There are only two stops away.

Before 6 p.m. today, the subway was open to all participating athletes for free, so most people chose the subway. Seeing that the people in the carriage were all dressed sportily and casually, carrying a transparent bag (this marathon bag, transparent), they were high-spirited.

The entire marathon starts at 7:30, and the half marathon starts at 8:00. The originally silent square is filled with people as excited as me.

"Have fun! The scenery along the way is so beautiful! Take some good photos! Don't force yourself if you can't run down!..."

This audience guest is really long-winded, um, um...

Is the most beautiful scenery on Liede Bridge? Is the small waist of Guangzhou TV Tower the most charming from the Liede Bridge?

Take beautiful pictures and keep running. Thank you to the photographer who took the photos! You are the most handsome!

It was fine before 18 kilometers. It was easy enough and happy. I just wanted to run down and no longer deliberately pose in front of the photographer's camera.

It was so hard to run the last three kilometers. The amount of running in normal times was severe and insufficient. At this moment, my physical reserves were seriously lacking.

When Dafang called me, I was in dire straits. If Dafang hadn't been watching the finish line, he would really want to climb to the finish line.

There are only a few hundred meters left. Of course, you have to pretend to be relaxed and make a small sprint like a serious 800 runner.

Yeah! Finish the game safely!

The end of the half horse was the Canton Fair Hall (Gate 1) where we received equipment yesterday. We hurried out to meet with the audience guests Dafang.

Take the subway, go back to the hotel, store your luggage, and then go to eat Lingnan Intangible Cultural Heritage ~"Guangzhou-Style Rice Noodles" Liyin Rice Noodles.

Two sets, Samsung soup, sausage, fried rice noodle, fish fillet porridge, salty pancakes, all delicious!

A good appetite comes from running out.

Salon, meat porridge, and Samsung soup are the most common foods on the streets of Guangzhou. Just like Shaanxi people's Liangpi Roujiamo, Changsha people's fried stinky tofu, and Guilin people's rice noodles, I truly admire Guangzhou people for being able to make animal viscera so delicious. It is still unclear to this day that the refreshing and appetizing Samsung soup removes the sour radish. Other ingredients are made from those parts of the animal body.

The chrysanthemum exhibition in Guangzhou Cultural Park was a beautiful encounter.

At the Shisanxing Longcheng Garment Trading Market on Renmin South Road in Guangzhou, businessmen are packing and delivering goods quickly without slacking up at all. This shows how hard you should work in Guangdong.

This should be a distribution center for clothing and small commodities. When we walked here, it was around 3 p.m., which was the closing time of the market.

(In the 22nd year of Qianlong, in 1757, the Qing government issued an imperial decree that Guangzhou became the only maritime foreign trade port in the country. It was known as "one-port trade" in history. The thirteen merchants in Guangzhou, also known as the thirteen merchants in Guangdong and thirteen foreign merchants, were established in Guangzhou by the Qing Dynasty. Thirteen merchants in the foreign trade zone. Later, this area was called the "Thirteen Streets", and "Foreign Goods Store" and "Foreign Goods Store" became the general names of foreign trade firms. Thirteen Streets are located near the Cultural Park in Shaji, Liwan District, Guangzhou City.)

The harder you work, the more lucky you will be. It is these hard-working people who can afford the lasting prosperity and the prosperity of a city.

Since ancient times, in a prosperous place, the clothing trading market is closed, but other shops are not closed. What kind of food, as well as seafood, hardware and electrical materials, and decorations are all in operation. We have discovered a flower glue wholesale shop to popularize flower glue knowledge to Dafang students.

The fish bladder is a thing that helps fish rise and fall in the water. The Cantonese have given it a nice name, Huajiao. Does it make you want to hear it? It is indispensable for the popular Huajiao hot pot.

Suddenly I discovered that the Cantonese people had never spared even the internal organs of the fish.

Observe the two nuns at the Sacred Heart Cathedral make their vows. Their lives are limited and their sacred beliefs are immortal. I admire them.

There is no reason to keep the blue sky, white clouds, and coconut trees in Haizhu Square. Let's sit down and blow the wind together.

Passing through Xudi on Gaodi Street, which is the former residence of Xu Baiting, the largest salt merchant, the birthplace of the Xu family, and the place where Lu Xun's wife Xu Guangping lived as a child. It is a street with stories.

Crossing the lively Beijing Road, I saw the Great Buddha Temple. This is the legendary Daowan City.

Entering the temple, I look up at the two yellow kudzu trees that have stood in the temple for two hundred years, just like believers facing the supreme god piously.

For dinner, I still returned to Baihao Restaurant, with a cup of black tea, a cup of flower glue gravy soup, a plate of sizzling squid and long beans, and a plate of stewed rice... Use authentic Cantonese food to encourage the northerners who are working hard to run in Yangcheng. The most considerate.

The night flight takes off at 22:55 and lands at 1:25 a.m. the next morning.

According to convention, my trip to Guangzhou is a three-day trip.

end

Voice of thanks. The volunteers and staff who served us have to get up and gather at around three o'clock on the day of the horse racing. Some staff have worked day and night for this, and there are also those who have silently contributed to it that I don't know. Here again, I would like to sincerely thank you!
