My colleagues at work call me Brother Mao, probably because my beard is more fragrant! Blow your own praises, put a selfie of me, and everyone will comment!

How about it? Not bad! This year's global epidemic, I stayed at home for more than a month, and finally went to work. It really drove me, an old man with nothing to do, crazy. This week, my work changed, my daughter took online classes, and my wife had to provide tutoring at home. I asked a few old friends to come out to get some air. I didn't have the habit of writing travel notes, but Lao Zhao and the others are all writing. I also try it. Maybe I can become an Internet celebrity. Please forgive me if I don't want to!

The old guys made an appointment to go together on Friday afternoon. Lao Wang drove, Lao Zhao and I were responsible for enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way, and the popsicle was in the passenger seat. By the way, the popsicle's surname was Yelu, which was too round-mouthed. In addition, he was relatively thin, so I'd better call him Popsicle!

There was actually no scenery on the road. I went to the Fenglingdu Expressway and saw the Fenglingdu Ferry on the Yellow River and the Old Gate Tower of Tongguan, and then continued to our destination "Xi'an". To be honest, I have been to Xi'an a few times, but it was all in the 1990s. I really don't know what it's like in the past few years!

The hotel given by Popsicle is very close to the highway exit and convenient parking. On Jiangong Road, it is the Jinjiang Inn! To be honest, I saw on the Internet that Hanting or Rujia only cost 80 to 90 yuan, so I suggested choosing a cheaper one, but Lao Zhao said that cheap goods are not good. If it is too cheap, I guess even the 84 disinfectant used will be fake. Forget it! In fact, it's not expensive. It's a little more than 200 yuan. It's better to feel at ease when you go out. The hotel also needs to take body temperature measurement and scan code registration when entering the door. Although it is a bit troublesome, it can be understood during special times and it is also for everyone's safety! The room was also nice and clean. Lao Zhao and I had a room, and Popsicle and Lao Wang had a room. After staying in it, our old friends went out directly to start building!

I went to the front desk and asked about it. The young lady at the front desk was very enthusiastic and generous. She seemed to be called Li Cong. She was a lesbian and was too embarrassed to look at her badge. It would save the young lady from thinking that I was disrespectful of my old age. The young lady suggested that we try Lao Zhao's Paomo Restaurant next to the hotel. The few of us went straight there. It was not far away, only a five-minute walk!

When we arrived, we found that the popularity was quite good. We each had a bowl of paomo buns, which we didn't break ourselves. Later, we learned that Xi'an people eat paomo buns by hand. Anyway, it's good to try it! When we came, we made a roast meat and made a cold dish, and our brothers started making it. To be honest, I personally don't think that mutton steamed buns are as delicious as our mutton steamed noodles in Henan. I'll try a beef steamed buns next time, but the barbecue is good. Our brothers drank a few bottles of beer each with the roast meat and flew well. We had to go out the next day, so we went back to rest early!

The next day, a few of us got up early and ate the hotel's buffet breakfast. To be honest, the breakfast in this restaurant was really good. There were freshly made rice noodles, but I think it was just fans and handmade pancakes. To be honest, it was much better than the hotel I stayed in last time in Zhengzhou for training. The breakfast was very comfortable. I like this hotel! I met the little girl from yesterday in the lobby again. Popsicle is the youngest, so I asked Popsicle to ask where to take photos. The little girl suggested that we go to the South Gate City Wall and Xingqing Palace. As soon as we understood, we realized that the little girl was the manager here. No wonder she felt friendly! Okay, stop chatting, sleep well, eat well, let's go!

Our brothers drove to the South Gate City Wall first. To be honest, it was really good. Although we have to scan the code everywhere we go now, it is definitely a good place to take photos. I am a beginner, and I can't compare to Lao Wang and the others as professional, so I started to work with my broken entry machine. In Lao Wang's words, my level is not even a beginner!

It's really tiring to follow them around. After all, I'm old, but we don't have to drive, so let's not spoil everyone's fun! Xingqing Palace is one of the many royal courtyards in Xi'an. The records at the entrance here write the beautiful love story between Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Imperial Consort Yang. This must be one of the reasons why Xingqing Palace has beautiful scenery. Plants and various flowers are widely planted in the garden. Competition blooms. Although our photography level is not good, it is still very good to come out and see such scenery. It is worth it!

After running all day, I returned to the hotel in the evening. After a little rest, I went to Jiasanguan Tang Bun Shop recommended by the young girl at the front desk. Fortunately, I listened to the young girl's suggestion and didn't drive. Otherwise, it would take us an hour to find a parking space. We took the bus and took Bus No. 208 at the entrance of the hotel to the Bell Tower. It was convenient to get there. Jiasanguan Tang Bun Shop was crowded and waited for a long time before we could join us. However, after tasting it, the taste was really good. The steamed buns collapse when they are in the steamer. They are added up with chopsticks like a small water bag. The soup is full. You must eat slowly, otherwise the soup will splash all over your body and you will have to wash your clothes. The fly in the ointment is that there is no way to drink on this street. I can't enjoy myself, but I have to go home tomorrow and drive on the way, so it's better not to drink!

I went back and had a good sleep. To be honest, the bed in this hotel was really comfortable. It seemed to be thicker than the mattress in ordinary hotels. Anyway, it was the kind that made it feel comfortable to sleep. At night, I bought a few cans of beer with Lao Zhao and listened to him talk about the army back then and fell asleep!

Good things are always short-lived. Come on, it's time to go home. If we don't go back to our wives 'group, we will be angry. None of our old friends will have any good results! After breakfast, we checked out and started our journey home. Overall, this weekend was very relaxing and comfortable. I would like to give a special praise to the hotel. After all, safety and hygiene outside the house are the most important. Also, the female manager's service is really in place and considerate. It's a pity that we didn't leave a phone number. We can book next time we have friends who come back!

On the way back, I listened to "Rock and Roll on the New Long March" in Lao Wang's car, and the weekend ended just like that! This is my first time writing travel notes, but I don't know what to write. I just think it's a diary. I will definitely bring my family here next time I have the opportunity! I sincerely hope that the epidemic will end soon. Comrades, come on!
