Another year is in a hurry-Mutu and I are in a rainy day in 2020

Entering December, I plan to write this year's year-end summary and write it down to commemorate my memory.

In January, Shanghai entered the coldest time of the year. Dabao went to school. On sunny days, he took Xiaobao to the nearby Thames Town for a walk.

The Guangfulin Cultural Site is not far from home, and it is also a place we love deeply. My daughter applied for an annual card for us, so we can go in and play at any time. It was rare for Dabao to finish his homework early, so we went in for a stroll.

The Spring Festival is approaching, so I put my camera on my back and started in Yuyuan to find the flavor of old Shanghai. Red lights are hung high in the City God Temple, lanterns and colorful lights are hung on the buildings in Yu Garden, and people are crowded with people at the New Year's Market, and people are immersed in the joy before the Spring Festival.

The Bund, which is usually crowded with people, is now much quieter. A group of primary school students danced happily under the leadership of the teacher.

Nanjing Road was completely covered by the festive atmosphere and turned into a red ocean. Every shop was crowded with shoppers. On the street, there were no masks, no panic, and people's faces were filled with festive smiles.

As the Spring Festival approaches, the COVID-19 epidemic begins to spread."Wear masks, do not crowd together, and wash hands frequently" has become people's code of conduct. Since then,"boredom" at home has become the norm.

On the third day of the lunar calendar, we went to the supermarket to buy vegetables, but the vegetable shelves in RT-Mart were empty.

In my homestead days, various renovation activities emerge one after another, and the most popular ones are of course food competitions. Chinese and Western-style products are used to meet the needs of taste.

Occasionally, the babies will also come to a Hanfu show. I often think that the epidemic has provided us with the opportunity to reunite families. It is a kind of hope and a kind of joy for a family to gather together.

At the end of the month, I couldn't resist the temptation of sunshine and fresh air. I put on a mask, took Duoduo, and went to the Shuyuan next door to "let out the wind".

The beginning of spring is on February 4th, which is my daughter's birthday. I can't go out to eat this year. I make birthday cakes at home. Although it doesn't look impressive, it's of great significance.

The 17th was originally the day when primary and secondary schools in Shanghai opened, but it was postponed due to the epidemic. A ceremony for singing the national anthem and raising the national flag was held online. Momo got up early and faced the screen on the computer, saluted and sang the national anthem.

The children began to study themselves at home. After studying, painting became a required course. That was serious!

Entering March, my daughter began to work at work; Dabao began to take online classes at home. The sun is shining and everything is getting better.

On the weekend, the weather was fine, and the family drove to Tianjing Lake for spring. There are many tourists, and photos wearing masks record the original life of this special period.

In April, the epidemic control in the country became better and better, and walking in the park became the norm. Momo still has a lot of online homework. She takes Huahua and Duoduo out for a walk every day.

During the Qingming Festival holiday, the family drove to Binhe Park. Tulips have declined, azaleas are in full bloom, green grass is green, and many tents have been set up on the grass. Many people have removed their masks and breathed in fresh air.

Luoyang peonies have entered their peak flowering period. I can't go back to take peonies this year. I can pull out past peonies photos and post them to your circle of friends for fun.

Due to the epidemic, I haven't had a haircut for more than three months. I found a barber shop with good sanitary conditions and did not need to remove the mask during the entire process. This is probably the most special haircut.

On the 25th, Mutu met with several classmates in Shanghai on a rainy day to gather on the Bund, and I worked as a photographer together. There are few tourists on Nanjing roads, and only local people exercise on the streets.

These students all live in Shanghai to take care of their children. It is not appropriate to gather together under the epidemic. Taking a group photo with a mask is an unforgettable commemoration.

Although there are not many tourists on the observation deck on the Bund, they are already alive. I hope the epidemic will disappear soon and people will return to normal life.

The newly built citizen square is green and flowers are in full bloom. On weekends, the family drives to the garden, takes off their masks, and breathes deeply. It feels like a god.

Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden has reopened. Make an appointment online, scan the health code, and take your body temperature. The family walked on Rose Island, where flowers were in full bloom and songs and laughter were everywhere.

The roses bloom very well in the Rose Corridor of Guangfulin Country Park, and there are not many people. Moreover, we can take more people in for a walk, making it a frequent place for us.

In early May, you can go to the restaurant for a "din-in" meal. After dinner, the whole family will go to the newly built Cultural and Creative Park to play. The babies will be so happy!

The Guangfulin Cultural Site has also opened, but unfortunately all the indoor and temple doors are closed. Watch the good day and go inside to take pictures.

In the middle of the year, I ended my half-year duty and took the high-speed train home. In the morning and evening, I still go for a walk by Lingbo Lake and enjoy its tranquility and beauty.

The Longmen Grottoes are free of tickets for people over the age of 60 across the country. They can watch the good weather and visit the old place again with Mutu on rainy days. It has been nearly ten years since I last came to Longmen. People in Luoyang no longer recognize their hometown after taking a detour in the newly built "ancient street".

June is the world of lotus flowers. Every day, we get up early and set up the dark. We and Mutu go to the National Garden and the Sui and Tang City Ruins Botanical Garden to shoot lotus flowers on rainy days. Several black swans roam among the lotus bushes, adding some vitality to the lotus pond.

I haven't been to Lavender Manor for a long time. It is said that many new attractions have been added. We drove forward and wandered in the sea of flowers, looking for memories of the past.

Xingluo Lake is a garden green space on the central axis of Luoyang. The lake water is clear and the vegetation is dense. The wooden plank roads connect pavilions, pavilions and small bridges and flowing water. It is the place where Mutu and I like to walk on rainy days.

Jiuzhou Pond is a royal pond garden in Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The site is in the original Luoyang Glass Factory. Now some of the landscape has been restored, so we can go to Mutu to join in the fun on rainy days.

At the end of the month, we went to the Colorful Grand Canyon. The scorching sun was blazing. We climbed the steps up the mountain to the top of the mountain.

Entering July, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. I heard that Guangzhou Market Pedestrian Street has been renovated well. I took advantage of the cool morning to explore the actual situation.

Xiaolangdi's annual sand flushing has begun. Make an appointment with your photographers to shoot the scene of the turbid waves.

I always wanted to take a trip to the Grand Ring Road between Qinghai and Gansu. On July 20, the sun was shining, and a group of ten of us drove from Luoyang and started a 5000-kilometer crossing.

Maiji Mountain is one of the four major grottoes in China. It has been here many years ago. It rained heavily. Standing on the plank road between the mountainside, I witnessed the magnificent scene of "wheat accumulation and misty rain".

The rapeseed flowers on the bank of Qinghai Lake were in full bloom, so they stopped and took a break on the roadside. At the end of the sea of flowers is the vast lake water, with blue sky and white clouds, yellow flowers and blue water. They are beautiful scenery of nature.

Chaka Salt Lake has already checked out twice, and once again I accompanied my photographers in. The weather was cloudy and there was a light rain from time to time. Photographers looked for their targets and walked around the lake to take pictures.

There is a emerald lake in Dachaidan, which is a very beautiful place. Unfortunately, the weather is cloudy, so drive to visit the place. When we arrive at the lake, the clouds bloom and sunrise, revealing blue sky and white clouds. By the time we finished filming, the clouds gathered and the sky became cloudy again. It only took an hour. Fortunately, I couldn't refuse to accept it!

Dongtai Jiner Lake is called "China's Maldives" by Chinese people. The blue lake water seems to have a little milk added. The purity and elegance I have only seen in Kanas Lake.

Wusut Water Yadan is 27 kilometers away from Dongtai Jiner Lake. There are earthen mountains floating on the vast water. We walked along the lake, looking for commanding heights, changing angles, and taking pictures of the rare pictures.

Starting from Dachaidan, hundreds of kilometers of no man's land and the continuous Yadan landform have not grown a single blade. We walked through the hills of the Yadan landform and recorded every detail here.

Aiken Spring is probably the strangest place on the road. Thick water columns pour out from the ground and spread across the surface. Mineral spring water deposits and accumulates all year round, forming a red or yellow geological wonder, comparable to the Great Prism Spring in Yellowstone Park in the United States.

Mangya Jade Lake is also very beautiful. It is all puddles left by mining in the saltworks. The saltworks have built a large T-stage with salt in the scenic area for tourists to take photos on the show.

Going out of Qinghai to Dunhuang is a place I have visited many times. Get up early, go up to Mingsha Mountain, and go down to take a picture of the Crescent Moon Spring in the morning light.

Jiayuguan is the western gate of the Great Wall. I passed by it several times, but Mutu never entered it even on rainy days. We walked into the scenic spot, stood on the Jiayuguan Gate Tower, and thought about how triumphant the golden iron horses of those days were!

Zhangye Danxia is a must-visit. Although I have been there twice, each time has a different scenery and a different harvest.

Mutu and I climbed Zhuoer Mountain for the third time on a rainy day. The same season and the same scenery: green grass, yellow rapeseed flowers, Danxia red cliffs, and snowy mountains shining brightly.

Menyuan rapeseed flowers have declined a little, and the gorgeous yellow is no longer. Standing on the Yuanshan Observation Platform, it is still surrounded by snowy mountains, and it is still refreshing and happy.

On the way home, I stopped by to visit Kongtong Mountain, a Taoist holy land and a beautiful place.

In August, Momo attended a summer camp in Zhengzhou. Taking advantage of the opportunity to pick up Momo, her daughter came back with Xiaobao. When visiting the old city and visiting Longmen, of course, you will have to drink mutton soup and eat steamed noodles. It's difficult for two Shanghai babies, their lips are pouting!

It coincides with Huahua's birthday. I wish Xiaobao a happy birthday and thrive.

The children returned to Shanghai, and Mutu and I started a photography journey around Luoyang on a rainy day.

The Erlitou Xia Capital Site in Luoyang was the capital of the middle and late Xia Dynasty and enjoyed the title of "earliest China" in academic circles. The Erlitou Xiadu Ruins Museum has rich collections and is a very worth visiting.

Baima Temple is the first government-run temple established after Buddhism was introduced to China. It is a holy place called "Shiyuan" in the Buddhist community.

The Mausoleum of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty is in my hometown. It is a place called "Liu Xiu's Tomb" since I was a child. The pine trees and cypresses are still the same. The mound nestled on the bank of the Yellow River, and I listen to the roar of the waves day and night.

The Paradise Mingtang Scenic Area is one of the most important landscapes in Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was an important place for martial arts, political rites and life in those days. Walking through the magnificent buildings rebuilt on the site, I think about the prosperity and prosperity of Luoyang during the Tang Dynasty.

Luoyang people like to drink soup, but we only like Longmen Sandan Mutton Soup. After drinking soup, we stopped by and visited Longmen Grottoes, which was a half-day trip. From Xishan to Dongshan, from Xiangshan Temple to Baiyuan, we are everywhere.

In September, the Jin-Shaanxi tour that had been clamoring for several years finally took place. Five photographers rented a nine-seater Mercedes-Benz with a special driver. The rest was a luxury trip.

The Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion and Luoyang are close at hand. Mutu and I have been there on rainy days. We walked into this castle again to experience the glory of the place in the past.

The ancient city of Guoyu is close to the Imperial City Xiangfu. We entered from the east gate, walked through the streets and alleys, looked up at the towering Yu Tower, and explored the history of this "honeycomb city".

Dazhai is a role model for our generation. We climbed Hutou Mountain, walked into Wolf's Nest Palm, lingered between Dazhai's old residence and new village, and witnessed Dazhai's earth-shaking changes over the past few decades. Our wish is enough!

There are many courtyards in Shanxi, especially the Qiao Family Courtyard. Walking between the courtyards of the Qiao Family Courtyard, I deeply feel the wealth and mind of the Shanxi merchants.

The Jinci Temple is Shanxi's premier tourist attraction. The huge Jinci Temple Park surrounds the ancient Jinci Temple. Zhou Bai reclines, the Tang locust trees are lush, ancient buildings are lined, and the spring water is gurgling. It is a museum of ancient architecture.

In Shanxi's modern history, Yan Xishan held a decisive position. He resisted Japan, overthrew Chiang, and opposed the Communists. He was a multi-faced political figure. His former residence is located in Hebian Village, Dingxiang County. It is a combination of Chinese and Western buildings.

Mount Wutai is one of the five most famous Buddhist mountains in China. We climbed to the Bodsa Peak and looked down on the colorful and holy land of Mount Wutai; we visited Xiantong Temple and marveled at the gold and glory of the Bronze Hall. Walking into Tayuan Temple, look up at the Big White Pagoda and feel the boundless Dharma; look up at the Wuye Temple, see the prosperity of the incense, and see how to turn back and be saved. We walked through Guangzong Temple, Shuxiang Temple, and Shancai Cave one by one to appreciate the magnanimity and greatness of Buddhism.

Xuankong Temple is located on the cliff of Cuiping Peak on the west side of Jinlong Gorge in Hengshan Mountain in Beiyue. It is a unique temple integrating Buddha, Taoism and Confucianism. The main hall stands tall and looks at each other in the sky. The plank road flies, connected end to end. Walking on the suspended plank road, with a deep valley at your feet, my legs couldn't help but tremble.

Datong Yungang Grottoes are one of the three major grottoes in China. More than 20 years have passed, and I have walked into the scenic spot again, but there is no trace of the grottoes. Newly built squares, temples, lakes and green spaces isolate the grottoes two kilometers away. Walking in these unfamiliar places, I feel like I can't find the north.

I have been to Datong many times, but I have never had a good walk to the old city. The Bell and Drum Tower, Simeian Archway, Grand Mosque, Chunyang Palace, Shanhua Temple, Huayan Temple and Old City Wall of the old city are all places worth visiting. Datong made an excellent interpretation of "Looking at Shanxi for cultural relics on the ground".

The wooden tower in Ying County is still the same, but the outside environment has changed: the streets have been rebuilt and the gardens surround the scenic area, but the wooden tower is no longer allowed to be used, which is a permanent regret.

I have walked under Yanmen Pass many times, but I never have time to go up. This time, we went straight to the scenic spot, passed through the pass, climbed the beacon tower, watched the Great Wall winding among the mountains and mountains, and imagined the cruelty and excellence of resisting foreign invasion back then.

I couldn't imagine that there is a pure natural ten-year-old ice cave in Ningwu County, Shanxi Province. Even in the hot summer, the cave is always covered with ice and snow. Ice waterfalls, icicles, and ice caps are spectacular.

Laoniu Bay in Pianguan County was once a popular place for photographers. The ancient Great Wall penetrated directly from the ridge to the Yellow River. People called it the place where the Yellow River and the Great Wall shook hands. There are also the castles and ancient villages on the bank of the Yellow River, which are common things in photographers 'lenses.

Out of Shanxi, cross the Yellow River, and enter Fugu County, Shaanxi Province. There is an ancient city of Fuzhou built during the Five Dynasties, standing on the rocky mountain on the west bank of the Yellow River. Climbing up the steep steps, you are surrounded by traces of history.

Shaanxi has built a Yellow River Highway along the Yellow River, starting from Qiangtou Township in Fugu County in the north and ending in Weinan City in the south. It has a total length of more than 800 kilometers, connecting many tourist attractions. We went from Fugu County to Jiaxian County to admire the "Tianshu" and "divine paintings" along the way.

Xianglu Temple in Jia County is small, but its geographical location is very special. It was built on a cliff on the bank of the Yellow River. Not far from the cliff is a stone pillar, more than 20 meters high and about 15 meters in circumference. It is called "Xianglu Peak". There is a Guanyin Temple on the summit, which is connected to the temple by a 5-meter-long and 1-meter-wide overpass.

Yulin is an important town in northern Shaanxi. To the north of the old city is Zhenbeitai and to the south is Lingxiao Tower. There are six buildings on the central axis, all of which are Ming and Qing buildings. "The ancient city of South Tower and North Taichung, with its sixth floor riding streets, is famous in the world", which is its true portrayal.

Hongshi Gorge in Yulin is also very famous. It was a place where border guards and literati expressed their emotions in history. Many cliff stone carvings from past dynasties have made today's treasure house of calligraphy art.

The Wave Valley in Jingbian has been very popular in recent years. The No. 1 and No. 2 scenic spots have been closed, leaving only Danxia on the water for tourists to visit. The facilities of the scenic spot are backward and the management is disorderly. A large number of tourists are walking and taking photos on Danxia. The beautiful scenery accumulated over thousands of years has been completely destroyed, and I feel heartbroken.

The Yucha Grand Canyon has also been developed in recent years. With the blessing of God, it rained heavily on the first day, and the next day it turned out to be blue and white. We walked twice in the most beautiful birch ditch to find the most beautiful place to shoot.

Qiankun Bay is known as the first bay of the Yellow River in the world, and its curve arc is more than 320 degrees. We shuttled between the three observation platforms, changing positions to take pictures of its figure.

The big locust tree in Hongdong County is said to be the starting point of the ancestors 'migration. When everyone went to find their roots and asked their ancestors, I always thought it was a beautiful legend. When I really walked into the immigrant monuments area, I realized that everything was a true story of history. I walked into the ancestral worship hall and offered a stick of incense to the ancestors.

October is another of the most beautiful seasons of the year in Luoyang. Yishui Youyuan is a newly built green park in Yibin New District. The Fendai chaos grass there is extremely beautiful, attracting many people to take photos.

The annual chrysanthemum exhibition in Wangcheng Park has opened. The huge chrysanthemum shape adds a lot of color to the park in autumn.

The Botanical Garden of the Sui and Tang Dynasties Ruins has colorful autumn colors, with red maple leaves and colorful tallow trees. Mutu and Mu Tu take photos while walking on rainy days and enjoying the pleasant autumn sunshine.

Tiecuo Lane in the old city is a red alley. The Luoyang Eighth Route Army Office was located in the alley. When this red cultural pedestrian street was opened, we walked through the alley to receive red revolutionary education.

Luoyang Shanshan Guild Hall was built during the Kangxi and Yongzheng periods of the Qing Dynasty. It was a place for merchants from Shanxi and Shaanxi to gather and socialize in Luoyang at that time. The entire building is grand and simple. It is a relatively well-preserved early Qing Dynasty building complex in Luoyang.

"Copper Camel Sunset Rain" is one of the eight major scenic spots in Luoyang. Walking in the rebuilt alleys, one imagines the prosperity and development of this international trade market during the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

The ancient city of Luoyi is still lively. Wenfeng Tower stands tall there, crossing the Zhuangyuan Bridge. On the lively commercial street, many young people dressed in Han costumes are leisurely taking photos.

In late 1999, when I came to Shanghai, my new duty life began.

Both babies have gone to school, and every morning is our free time. We have the annual card from the Guangfulin Cultural Site, so we can go in for walks and plays at any time.

Thames Town is a place where we often walk and love its exotic atmosphere: the British-style buildings, the towering towers, the exquisite cafes, and the winding river.

Chenshan Botanical Garden is also a place we like. Cherry blossoms in spring, roses in summer, colorful leaves in autumn, and greenhouse in winter, accompanied by seasonal flowers that never fail at all hours, it will always be a garden full of vitality.

Sheshan is in Songjiang, with an altitude of less than 100 meters, but it is the highest mountain on Shanghai's land. Climb up easily and visit the ancient observatory, beautiful hilltop church and Showman Tower. Walking on the tree-wrapped mountain road, you can see green green, which is a kind of tranquility away from the city.

Occasionally, I will drive to Zhujiajiao, the most beautiful ancient town in Shanghai. It has winding ancient streets, shops, a dense river network, and small bridges, especially the exquisitive bridge, which proudly spans the wide river.

In November, the climate in Shanghai is comfortable and pleasant. Every weekend, Mutu and I still go to the riverside green space along the Huangpu River on rainy days to complete our green space walking plan along the river.

Sometimes I also go to Pudong and stroll along the air ring road in Lujiazui. There are many tall buildings and flower beds. Walking among the high and low buildings, you can truly feel the prosperity and prosperity of a modern metropolis.

The Bund Observation Deck will always be my favorite. It is a window to Shanghai. The scenery of Lujiazui remains the same, but the characters and scenery in the picture are changing.

I haven't been to the Shanghai Botanical Garden for a long time. When I saw the photos taken by netizens, I couldn't help but go around again.

On weekends, the family goes to the nearby country park, where they can set up tents, set up swings, and sit on the grass and bask in the sun. It is a beautiful enjoyment in autumn.

I have been to many old streets in Shanghai, but I have never systematically passed through them. We started from Gao 'an Road, followed Hunan Road, Wukang Road, and Anfu Road to Ulumuqi Middle Road, then turned from Fuxing Middle Road to Fenyang Road, and walked all the way along Huaihai Middle Road, Baoqing Road, and Urumqi South Road.

Entering December, the weather is gloomy and the sunshine is getting less and less. Picking up and taking care of our children every day has become a part of our lives.

When the weather is good, we still visit the Guangfulin Cultural Site, where there are too many things we need to find. Historically, northern civilization and southern civilization merged and collided here, resulting in Guangfulin culture. Therefore, it is also called the "Root of Shanghai".

Thames Town is a place where we take walks. On sunny days, sometimes white clouds will be emitted. We will take a few pictures with our mobile phone and send them to our circle of friends to share with everyone.

Mutu especially likes Shanghai's old streets on rainy days. We set off again, starting from Yongjia Road, along Taiyuan Road, Dongping Road to Taojiang Road, from Yueyang Road to Jianguo West Road and then to Urumqi South Road, and then along Hengshan Road. Walking down, it is still big trees that cover the sky and still houses.

Winter in Shanghai has arrived a little late this year. In the middle of the year, the maple leaves are still red, the ginkgo leaves are yellow, and the smell of autumn is everywhere. We chase the autumn colors and enjoy the rare colors of winter.

Goodbye, 2020; Hello, 2021!
