Chang 'an City is like a plain silk thrown into a dye vat. The noisy dye fills the crisscrossing streets, like layers of warp and weft silk threads. I saw that the entire cloth surface was slowly wetted and soaked, and the colorful halo gradually spread, and soon every thread was stained with the jubilant atmosphere. The entire plain silk changed color, revealing a festive atmosphere.
--"Chang 'an Twelve Hours"
The atmosphere and temperature of Chang 'an City did not disappear in the wet and cold autumn rain. When the rain fell, the outline of the city gradually became blurred, but the fires hidden in the streets and alleys became extremely active, emitting either light or low sounds. This is the sound of cooking food. It comes from the world and sounds like the sound of heaven. The long-lasting atmosphere of life in Chang 'an City seems to be condensed in it.
When the lights of Yongning Gate illuminate the night of the city, when the water of Qujiang Pool is sprinkled with the golden sunrise, when the urban white-collar workers in Jiahuifang rush to the office buildings without caring for the rain to wet their clothes, when the sun shines, when the auspicious snow falls, when catkins fly in the sky, when the street lights are on... Time ticks by, and time flows like water, what remains unchanged in Chang 'an City is the taste of delicious food.
This autumn, driving a "Yaodonghong" hybrid Camry with summer enthusiasm, I tried my best to show the wonderful and unknown side of the city, explore the city with the wheels, and pass the aroma from the corner and the flavor that attracts every passer-by are passed on to you in front of the screen.
Autumn morning.
Light rain.
I don't want to get up, but the only thing that can wake me up is camellia sesame flowers.
The cries of "Camellia oleifera" gradually faded out of life in Chang 'an City. Fortunately, there are always grandparents and grandmothers who love you. Before going to school, they crossed several streets and alleys to bring back Camellia oleifera. After drinking a bowl, the warmth and joy instantly awakened the sleepy soul.
Camellia oleifera is a traditional snack in Shaanxi Province. Camellia oleifera is a mixture of wheat flour, almonds, fried dried tofu, pepper powder and other seasonings, fried in clear oil and boiled into soup. Soak the sesame flowers in camellia oleifera and wait until they are soft before eating. At this time, the aroma of oil and flour are mixed with the aroma of chewed sesame seeds, almonds, soybeans, and dried peanuts, which together wipe away the night's sleepiness.
[Xiao Jia Ma Hua Camellia oleifera]
Wuxing Street, where Xiaojia Ma Hua Camellia oleifera is located, was within the scope of Shanhefang in the Tang Dynasty. As the Ming city wall moved southward, Wuxing Street was included within the city wall.
If your driving skills are average, try to avoid driving within the city wall in Xi'an. "City" roads do not have open outer edges, parking is more difficult, and parking spaces are relatively narrow. If the car you are driving has a pre-collision safety system and reversing images, it will bring great help to driving and parking. Driving and parking in narrow alleys and When parking in side walls, ensure the safety of yourself and others.

Oh, no, I got up late again. Get up as quickly as possible, put on visible makeup, drive on the road, go to the coffee shop that opens early to buy a cup of coffee, and wait for the red light to drink a cup to refresh your spirits.
The safe breakfast downstairs of the company and at the subway exit not only buys time, but also saves the empty stomach. Shredded mushrooms and steamed buns have become a must-have hot breakfast item that white-collar workers can get at their fingertips and are full of vitality.
Moreover, rain or shine.
This is the morning peak when most small white-collar workers connect seamlessly in one go. The distribution of safe breakfast is like the Watchtower scattered in Chang 'an City, and you can find it no matter where you go. However, unlike the Watchtower, it is not on call 24 hours a day, and you can't find the shadow of safe breakfast if you start up late.
[Rest assured Breakfast]
Sitting in the car drinking coffee, having breakfast, resting, and even working may be things that many car owners often encounter. The car is a haven for shelter from the wind and rain. The Camry's wrapped and breathable seats are like a sofa, which can make this harbor very warm. The heavenly sound played by the car's audio system is the most wonderful rhythm in the morning.

Autumn is more punctual, winter is never late, only spring is long-awaited.
All year round, you should have different personalities and experience different lives. The scenery of the world is different, and our little days should also be different.
People who like to work at night usually gain more concentration after 22 o'clock, work efficiency increases exponentially, and time flies quickly. When you go to bed late and get up late, you can't treat yourself badly. Dating a brunch is a little bit of beauty in a busy life.
Baoer Bakery is a low-key bakery located in Furong Xintiandi, Qujiang. Breads, cakes and desserts are made on-site. They are sweet and salty, and the bread exudes a strong aroma of wheat.
The boss doesn't like to speak, and often makes cakes by herself and forgets to greet the customers-after all, she speaks based on taste. Don't worry about this. Half price when it rains is the biggest gift to diners. Think about it, what better match than the sound of raindrops falling and a sneak break in the busy brunch? [Bao 'er Baking] The Furong Xintiandi where Bao' er bakes is located is within the Tang Dynasty Xiuzheng Workshop, in the southern section of the fourth row of workshops east of Zhuque Street. This is where the Wolf Guards gathered and were slaughtered in "Chang 'an Twelve Hours".
Qujiang is an area where tourists from other places are concentrated. The roads are smooth, the scenery is good, and there are few vehicles. For self-drivers, driving is very comfortable. The lane departure system can be used. This is one of the Camry's active safety functions. The vehicle will automatically identify the traffic line on the ground. If the line is pressed when it deviates from the lane, the vehicle will make a warning sound and provide strong feedback on the steering wheel to remind the driver.

The first thing Zhang Xiaojing, the protagonist in "Chang 'an Twelve Hours", was released from prison by the Jing' an Bureau, was to eat a bowl of mutton in a basin. This is Chang 'an's unique dietary aesthetic and Chang' an's only food in the world.
A bowl of mutton stock, a roll of slender vermicelli, a handful of green coriander, two hot crescent sesame cakes, and a few slices of tender mutton constitute the elements of a hard-core lunch. The gifts of delicious food are exciting. Hot soup and soft meat. Blow on it and use your mouth to "suck" the aroma of oil, which can give people warmth even in the coldest winter days.
Chang 'an is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, relatively close to pastoral areas. The city has an ideal market for cattle and sheep trading. Historical street names such as Dongyang City, Xiyang City, Niusu Lane, Luoma City and other historical street names all prove the formation and development of Shuipan mutton. Mutton is a warm and tonic food in autumn and winter, but Shaanxi chefs who are good at cooking beef and mutton have created waterpan mutton to meet people's summer needs. It is mostly sold in June of the lunar calendar. People call it "June Fresh" and praised it.
When eating Shuipan mutton, the most authentic one is to serve it with two special crescent sesame cakes. One sesame cake contains meat, and the other sesame cake is used to make steamed buns and is served with fresh garlic or sweet garlic. The seasoning oil and spicy seeds need to be poured with sheep oil. If you pour it on, the meat will be rotten and clear, fat but not greasy, clear and delicious, and has a unique flavor.
[Chuncheng Shuipin Mutton]
Chuncheng Shuipin Mutton is located on Yannan Fifth Road, which is within the scope of Qinglong Square in the Tang Dynasty. It was a relatively remote square in the Tang Dynasty and is now a quiet residential area adjacent to Qujiangchi.
The quietness of the Camry twin-engine engine is very suitable for the temperament here. When driving at low speeds, only the electric motor provides power. The vehicle is fuel-efficient and has no sound. It is as quiet as in the mountains and forests; during the speed-up process, a mixture of oil and electricity provides power, speeding up quickly while keeping the inside and outside the car quiet. What's more worth mentioning is that for a 5-kilometer driving mileage in Qujiang, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 3.2L.

The afternoon time always makes people feel sleepy and lazy. After autumn, the rain-dripping eaves gives off a dreary atmosphere. Looking out the window, the most important thing to do in my mind should be to eat dessert, drink tea with rich milk flavor or a cup of mellow coffee. Only then can I feel that I have lived up to my lazy poetry and distance.
Driving north from the Qujiang Pool in the south of the city to search for the aroma of coffee, we arrived at M+Cafe on Jiefang Road. The white building is full of the smell of time. Here are a group of people who are full of love for coffee. They became attached to coffee and started a coffee journey.
They went to Taiwan and Yunnan to visit coffee farms, participated in professional training and competitions, and made themselves professional and excellent enough to make their own coffee for a guest.
A cup of coffee, a dessert, and a friend to chat with. Coffee can pause busy urban life for a moment and smell the delicacy and warmth in the mellow aroma and tranquility.
[M+ Coffee]
The Minle Park is located in the famous Yongxingfang, which in the Tang Dynasty is much larger than the current "Yongxingfang" tourist area. It houses the Wei Zheng Prime Minister's Mansion. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is famous for its "Ghost Market". From south to north, from Qujiang Avenue to Xiyan Road Elevated Road, there are no traffic lights blocking the way, and the car roared like a trapped animal out of its cage. The power is surging, and overtaking and cornering in one go.
Xi'an drove from the Qujiang River into the city wall, giving a very feeling of crossing from modern to ancient times. On the "Road of Crossing", my car adheres to the concept of sports fashion in terms of appearance and control, driving in the city. The dazzling red, the outline close to that of a racing car, the honeycomb sharp air intake grille, and the flying wing sports tail have become a gorgeous color between the blue bricks and gray tiles of Chang' an City, attracting many turnbacks.

Sitting still, you will always be the audience. Our lifestyle is getting healthier, more organized and thoughtful. Having more free time and doing what you want is the ideal way to live.
Leaving the city in the afternoon, heading east all the way to Lintong, the rain became heavier and heavier, washing the buildings at the foot of Lishan Mountain. Soaking in hot springs in the rain is a romantic rhythm and a gift to the body.
The large and small soup ponds in Yuechun Hot Spring are steaming like concubines in the harem waiting for the emperor's arrival. The high-quality hot spring water quality of Lishan is responsible for controlling the quality, the carefully designed and well-organized environment is responsible for attracting guests, and the raindrops dripping from the eaves are responsible for stopping time, and everything is just right.
The hot spring private soup looks more like a movie set. Under the white walls and bamboo forests, the hot spring water gurgles with steam. There are wooden plates floating in the water with red petals on the plates, as if waiting for the arrival of the protagonist.
After a while, two small shabu pots were brought; another time, a beef and seafood platter and a vegetable platter were brought; another time, two bowls were brought. This was more like the scenery and props were ready, the actors were waiting for the play, and the theme should be about the imperial concubine coming out of the bath.
Eating breakfast in the swimming pool is becoming increasingly popular in Southeast Asia, and it is the first time I have seen pork shabbing in a hot spring. Although soaking in the hot springs is not strenuous work, it is very strenuous and more comfortable to replenish some energy.

[Yuechun Hot Spring]
Yuechun Hot Spring is east of Square 108th of Chang 'an City, adjacent to the Hot Spring Palace described by the saint in "Chang' an Twelve Hours". It belongs to the same hot spring source. The hot spring area was designed by Hailaozawa, a hot spring designer from Japan, a great country in soaking water. The Tang-style building is exquisite and elegant."Cold spring gives you a bath in Huaqing Pool, and hot springs are washed and condensed fat." Nowadays, Huaqing Hot Spring is no longer exclusive to emperors and imperial concubines. The flowing hot spring water can be enjoyed at any time.
After soaking in the hot springs, we will head to Xi'an's most beautiful highway on the back mountain of Lishan Mountain. This section of the road is built along the mountain. Following the mountain, continuous hairpin bends provide an excellent "racing place" for car lovers. If you lack enough power, you can pass the curve. Whether it is good or not is reflected here
Only by driving on mountain roads can you feel the "hard to buy for a thousand dollars and low center of gravity". The eighth-generation Camry adopts the new TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture) architecture, which is based on ergonomic principles to optimize and adjust basic driving performances such as steering, shifting and braking to the greatest extent possible. By improving hundreds of automobile parts and lowering the engine compartment, the height of the body under the framework is reduced, thus achieving the goal of lowering the center of gravity of the vehicle. The biggest appearance characteristics of the Camry under the TNGA architecture are "low sitting posture, low center of gravity, and low body". The operating feeling is strong in handling, abundant in power, strong directional, safe and reliable.

Outside every school, there is a stall that makes people unable to move away. Even if you always deliberately ignore your child's slow footsteps and eager eyes, your feet won't listen to you when you pass by this stinky tofu.
Even on rainy days, the crowd in line in the store was always excited. Everyone anxiously looked at the pieces of tofu in the oil pan, looking forward to the crispy taste of the pot.

Most dinners for modern urbanites only start at seven o'clock. The lights are still lively, and our stomachs also need its lively-hot pot. Only by making an appointment with colleagues or friends, not being a lonely gourmand, can you quickly flip a pair of bamboo chopsticks in the pot to awaken the sleeping soul in the fresh ingredients.
The hot pot is full of pepper, melted butter, boiled red soup, regardless of green and red soap, numbing the tongue.
The rice field tripe better absorbs the spicy aroma and spiciness brought by the rich soup at the bottom of the pot. The thousand-layer tripe and spicy beef are always must-ordered dishes in Xiaoyu hot pot; the chewy tribute dish has a crisp, hard taste and elastic teeth. It is amazing; I can't wait to put the hot duck blood full of spicy juice into my mouth to get a tender taste; the bean curd, which is more fragrant than tofu, is treated with "baptism"(light cooking) and "torture"(long-boiling) methods to give off its strong aroma.

The entire vehicle uses LED light sources, including headlights, fog lights and turn signals. While seeing the road clearly on rainy nights, it can also allow other vehicles to drive clearly. It is also very important to yourself. Sitting in the cab, the low-blocking A-pillar and low-hood design improves the rear view position and provides a wider view.

Governing the world, heavy taste is the unified temperament of midnight snack. A few kebabs and a bottle of "Jiudu"(beer) are the pride Chang 'an City has in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and it is also an ordinary and hot life in the market. Eating barbecue with like-minded people may be the most long-lasting confession and the most refined atmosphere.
For barbecue, meat comes first. Those roasted leeks and roasted eggplants are barbecue surprise soldiers. When the desire to eat barbecue is really aroused, the picture of various kebabs must still be reflected in your mind. Those who sell barbecue in Xi'an, as long as they sell well and have a large number of diners, they must have a unique skill-grilled tendons. Three in a string, chew them vigorously in your mouth, and swallow the beer. This is the fun of Xi'an people.
But if there is only meat in the world of barbecue, the tongue will also be aesthetically tired. Roasted bean skins, roasted potatoes, roasted eggplant, everything except meat can be regarded as antidotes on the barbecue table. There is nothing that cannot be grilled. If there is, it must be because there is not enough charcoal fire.

Being in the great city of Chang 'an is like falling into a kaleidoscope of time and space, in the ancient or modern skyline, in the streets and alleys like a Go chessboard, among the desolate ruins and gorgeous buildings, and even between the smooth blue bricks that have been touched and its mottled light and shadow, you can be surrounded by a sense of picture and story that is very transitory.
