"Travel Notes on Matisi Temple" How many towers are in the mist and rain

Although some friends pointed out that the travel notes are too lengthy and not thoughtful enough. I have also thought about making some changes since then and spending more time thinking carefully.

After seeing the photos, I decided to leave it at that.

To others, it is just a trivial matter of a person's journey; to myself, it is a record of a period of time.

You just need to leave those processes behind. As for your ideas, you still have to be more willing to express them when communicating with specific people.

Feeling sorry for the young lady who shows her arms and legs

In the cold wind and drizzle

Everyone shivered together

Take a group photo

Mainly to see the grottoes

I found that the composition at that time was really bad.

Also because of the weather

The shot was perfunctory

The grotto was originally meant to serve people who believe in Buddhism.

Naturally, these are indispensable

I can't help but feel a little more spiritual.

Anyway, I won’t miss the Gesang flowers.

Everyone is no longer in the mood to play

A row of stalls selling souvenirs

The ladies bought raincoats here before

Maybe because of the weather

Not many tourists

See the world through the window

It’s another flavor again

Lean your head against the car window

Pretend to be artistic and sad for a while

Except taking pictures of the sky

The water droplets on the car window are also objects of love

different angles

different world

See more buildings

It is found that whether it is a pavilion

Eaves or archway?

The temperature is still quite low

Me wearing a jacket + trousers

Also shivering

There are always only a few words in the memo

Briefly describe the itinerary

After gathering

Birthday party started

Large plate of chicken?

Green pepper preserved egg

The cold dishes of Northwest China are also quite generous.

It’s just that the green peppers are too crispy.

What dumplings?

Anyway, just eat enough

When the dumplings are served at the end

Everyone is being humble to each other

I even left a dish that wasn’t served to eat tomorrow.

The rainbow cake is still very cute

While waiting for the food to be served, I received a call from my sister.

Joking about it for a while

This birthday seems to have been forgotten by my parents.

In fact, I don’t feel anything at all

Did I make a wish?

Has it been achieved?

Confused

"The feast battle ends at 23:00"

Ah, the end of a cold yet warm day!
