Chapter 812: Scenery along the way

After entering the city, Ye Tian and the others did not go home immediately, but took their parents and drove straight along the ring road to the Financial Street in Xicheng District.

It didn't take long for the convoy to arrive at the Financial Street on the edge of the West Second Ring Road and stop at the headquarters of a well-known domestic bank.

Next, Ye Tian kept most of the antique artworks they carried in the vault of the bank's headquarters.

The vault was leased by Taylor and two Beijing lawyers in the morning, naturally in the name of Ye Tian, and the time until they left Beijing, there was a lot of flexibility!

This vault has a high security factor, and this is the heart of China's financial industry, so it is safe and secure, and it can put 120 hearts.

After preserving the antique artwork, Ye Tian and the others were ready to go home.

The convoy quickly left Financial Street and drove onto the West Second Ring Road again.

Inside the GMC business car, Ye Tian opened his mouth and asked:

"Dad, Mom, should we go back to our own house, or go to my grandparents' house?"

Dad looked out the window of the car at the already dark sky, then turned back and said:

"Go to your grandfather's house first, we'll stay there tonight, your grandmother knows you're going to bring Betty back, and she's been talking about it every day these days, so she counts the days on her fingers.

If you kid don't go over as soon as possible, be careful that your grandfather discounts your legs, your second uncle's family and sister-in-law's family are all here, just waiting to pick up the wind and wash the dust for your kid.

Let's go home tomorrow morning to rest for a while, and we will go to your grandfather's house in the afternoon, there is still a big family waiting to see you kid, be mentally prepared, it's enough for you kid to toss!"

"Come on, I'll make sure all my friends and relatives are comfortable, so that everyone is in a good mood, smiling, and happy!

Before I came back, I was mentally prepared, my physical reserves were very sufficient, even if I opened the flowing water mat every day, no matter how much I tossed, I was willing!"

Ye Tian said excitedly, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Open a flowing water banquet every day? You really dare to think about it!

Mom smiled and said with a smile, also very excited.

Subsequently, Ye Tian told the address of his grandfather's house to the driver of the commercial vehicle, and also notified the two Range Rovers that followed behind.

Soon, the convoy drove up Funei Street and quickly headed for Dongcheng.

It was a new street, and there was a new view outside the car window, and Betty's eyes were drawn back to it, and she couldn't see enough, and her eyes were running out of admiration.

As a native of Beijing, Ye Tian is naturally the best choice for volunteer docents.

"This is Miaoying Temple, commonly known as the White Pagoda Temple, is a Tibetan Buddhist Gelugpa monastery, founded in the Yuan Dynasty, has a history of more than 700 years, very long.

The towering white pagoda in the temple is the earliest and largest lama pagoda in China, and it is also one of the first batch of key cultural relics protection units in New China."

"The shape of the white tower is really chic, it is also very beautiful, and it has a bit of an exotic atmosphere, which looks a lot different from other ancient buildings on the street"

"That's right! The shape of this white pagoda originated in India and was introduced to China through Nepal, blending the architectural styles of Chinese and Nepalese pagodas, with a strong exotic style!"

Ye Tian explained the information related to the White Pagoda Temple, and everything was at his fingertips, without even hitting a stumble.

This is the city where I grew up, and although it has changed a lot over the years, there has been little change in historical buildings like the White Pagoda Temple.

After entering the field of antique art collection, he not only deeply studied Western antique art, but also put a lot of effort into Chinese antique art, and he has long been familiar with all this.

Hearing this professional explanation, a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of Ye Tian's parents.

At this time, they are even more convinced that their son has indeed become a top antique art expert, with rich professional knowledge and heritage, and not just a shit luck guy!

Drive east along Funei Street to the end, the convoy turns right onto Xisi South Street, goes a few hundred meters and turns left onto Xi'anmen Street, and continues to drive east.

During this time, Betty has been enjoying the scenery outside the car window with great interest, while Ye Tian continues to act as her volunteer docent.

"This is Huguosi snacks, one of the representatives of Beijing's local snacks, rich in variety, outstanding characteristics, with profound historical and cultural heritage, I will take you to taste it in two days, I believe you will like it,......"

As the motorcade continued to move forward, Betty suddenly pointed out the window and asked curiously:

"What's the place behind that high gray wall? Why is it surrounded by a high wall, there seem to be a lot of trees inside, and the scenery must be beautiful, right?"

Looking at the high wall she was pointing to, Ye Tian and his parents couldn't help but laugh.

"Of course, it is very beautiful, it used to be a royal garden, a place for the emperors of previous dynasties to stay and feast, and now it is the seat of the head of China, just like the White House in the United States!"

"Wow! I know what this place is!"

Betty covered her mouth and exclaimed, then spit out her tongue mischievously, quickly took her gaze back, and didn't dare to ask anymore, with a scared expression.

"Hahaha"

Ye Tian and his parents all laughed and were overjoyed.

Obviously, Lao Mei has a wrong understanding of China, and Betty is no exception.

This is the result of hostile propaganda, and it is believed that as the world becomes more open and information is exchanged more frequently, this misunderstanding will one day be completely dispelled and there will be no need for explanation.

The convoy soon drove up Wenjin Street, and two large frozen and smooth lakes appeared outside the windows on both sides, and Ye Tian's explanation followed.

"On our left is Beihai Park, which used to be a royal garden, with beautiful scenery, and is one of the oldest, most complete, most comprehensive and representative royal gardens in China.

It's now an open park and it's worth a visit, and no matter what time of year it is, Beihai Park has a very attractive view.

Tourists from other places like the beautiful and charming Beihai Park in spring, summer and autumn, but Beijing children like Beihai Park in winter.

Every winter, the Beihai Park Ice Rink can be said to be one of the liveliest places in the whole of Beijing, and it embodies the memories of many people's youth, including me!

On our right is Zhonghai, which used to be a royal garden, which is not open to the public, and tourists can only stand on the bridge to enjoy the scenery inside, which is also very beautiful.

The building on the left side of the front bridge head is called Tuancheng, which was built in the Jin Dynasty and has a history of more than 800 years, and is a green pearl inlaid between Beihai and Zhongnanhai,......"

With Betty's exclamations, the convoy quickly drove past the regimental city.

What followed was a magnificent city wall, towering turrets, wide moats, and a royal atmosphere!

"I know what kind of building this is, this is the Forbidden City, the largest royal palace complex in the world, I've seen pictures of it in countless places, wow!

Betty said with a fluttering eyebrow, almost jumping out of her seat in excitement.

Although she has seen many reports related to the Forbidden City before, as well as related videos and pictures, at this time, seeing this magnificent building standing in front of her, Betty is still completely shocked by this royal atmosphere!

And this is just a corner of the Forbidden City, if she is immersed in the scene and enters the Forbidden City for a tour, the performance will definitely be even more exaggerated!

Not only Betty, but also several old beauties in the other two Range Rovers also looked at the magnificent buildings in front of them with dull expressions.

Ye Tian chuckled and nodded, and the explanation began again.

"That's right, this is the Forbidden City, the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties of China, formerly known as the Forbidden City, located in the center of Beijing's central axis, is the essence of ancient Chinese court architecture,......"
