The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chengde Mountain Resort is very close to Beijing and was a summer resort for Qing Dynasty emperors.

The natural beauty inside has the exquisite features of Jiangnan gardens, such as winding covered bridges and delicate pavilions and towers.

It also possesses the grandeur of northern gardens, such as magnificent palaces and solemn temples.

Besides experiencing the ancient emperor's summer resort, the most important reason for their family's visit was probably to travel together as a family.

Michelle Song also wants Chen Lu, the mistress, to quit his gaming addiction this summer.

It also implies that he shouldn't stay at home and only play games, but should go out and get more active.

As for An'an, it's simple. She went through the most difficult year, and now that things are resolved, what she probably wants most is to have carefree fun like this.

In the sweltering summer, many tourists come here for sightseeing and recreation.

Many of them are young couples, and quite a few are traveling on a budget.

Chen Pingsheng and Song Yanxi exchanged a smile, both thinking that they too had come from this most beautiful age.

Being young is great, but being broke is also a real problem.

But who says you can't be happy if you don't have money?

It's just that when you're broke, it's so hard to meet the right person.

Chengde Mountain Villa wasn't anything new to their family, after all, they had lived in Beijing for so many years.

They've all been here at least a little bit.

The second stop is undoubtedly even more attractive: the Xilin Gol Grassland.

Xilin Gol Grassland is an endless expanse of green land. Although it is labeled as a grassland, it also contains volcanoes, Gobi Desert, sacred lakes, and deserts.

In places like this, there are generally two best ways to enjoy the experience.

One way is to ride a horse, you are the wind, and I am the sand.

Another type is someone wearing sunglasses, driving a convertible sports car at high speed on the grassland highway.

Facing the wind and gazing at the sunset, the tranquility of life is all before my eyes.

An'an wants to ride a horse and also wants to drive a dazzling Rolls-Royce convertible.

Only after arriving at the grasslands can one truly appreciate the vastness of history found on ancient battlefields.

The grasslands offer more than just highland tent camps; they also feature horseback riding, bonfire parties, whole roasted lamb, and milk tea.

Chen Pingsheng also rode horses with Song Yanxi, and the two even drove a Brabus G-Class through the desert.

They chased each other, just like the path they walked in their youth.

Although there were difficulties, everything was beautiful after they passed.

The joy of having money lies in being able to do whatever you want without caring about money or prices.

Just have fun and do whatever you want.

Like now, transporting several convertible sports cars and super off-road vehicles at high speed through the desert.

Travelers from afar will be delighted to take out their phones and snap a couple of precious travel photos.

The family spent two days on the grasslands, traveling across grasslands and deserts.

They even climbed a volcano and rode horses for a whole day in the grasslands.

After playing until we were tired, we slept in the Bosu V-Class before heading to our next stop, Dalian Binhai Road.

Dalian Binhai Road is a scenic tourist route, with rolling hills and lush vegetation on one side.

On one side is the vast, boundless sea with its rippling blue waves.

Along the way, you can also enjoy the magnificent scenery where mountains and sea blend perfectly.

The best way to visit this kind of place is actually by car.

Enjoy the perfect natural scenery while driving.

After An'an had a good sleep, he drove his convertible Yaoying with his younger brother Chen Lu on the highway by the sea.

Chen Pingsheng, along with Song Yanxi and Erpiya, started a blogging spree.

In the evening, they stayed at the Bangchui Island State Guesthouse, where they could enjoy a private beach and a seafood feast at Tiger Beach.

The next day, we went to Baiyun Mountain Forest Zoo to see the largest zoo in northern China. Our next stop was Changbai Mountain Tianchi, where the family checked into a very famous luxury hotel.

Park Hyatt Hotel.

There are volcanic hot springs here, and you can ski in winter and stroll through the primeval forest in summer.

It is also the last stop of the first phase of the tour.

Their family planned to stay here for seven days, both to enjoy the volcanic hot springs and to hike through the primeval forest.

Chen An'an pulled Erpiya along, but Erpiya, who had never liked exercise since she was a child, ran out of energy after taking only a few steps.

She can't keep up with her sister's pace, and she can't even keep up with her brother.

Enraged, she got herself a motorcycle and started speeding around the area, laughing incessantly.

Every summer vacation, the family still has a lot of fun.

This year is no exception; even the best suite at the Park Hyatt Hotel is only a little over 10,000 yuan per night.

It wasn't very expensive, and it was a pretty good place for the family to stay.

An An also called several of her college classmates to ask if they wanted to come along.

Jiang Tang asked her, "Is it convenient?"

Chen An'an said there was nothing inconvenient about it; when her family came out, the convoy following them was incredibly long.

Jiang Tang, who was bored at the time, immediately took a plane to meet up with her.

The turtle girl is the same as that short-haired, spirited girl.

The four were best friends in college and were inseparable.

Now that we know An'an went to Changbai Mountain, there's no reason why we wouldn't come.

Anyway, their family has a lot of money and cars.

Erpiya picked up her phone, wanting to call her friends, but found that she didn't have many people she particularly wanted to call.

He picked it up and put it down again, then ran off to play with his parents.

Chen Lu would frequently take out his phone to play games, which Song Yanxi kept a close eye on.

They simply confiscated his phone and gave him a smartwatch specifically for making calls.

By the time Jiang Tang and the others arrived, it was already the next day.

Chen Pingsheng treated them to dinner at the hotel; their next stop was the Northwest route.

The route passes through Datong, Hohhot, Yinchuan, Dunhuang, Zhangye, and Qinghai Lake.

If you have the money, taking a nationwide road trip like this a few times in your life is very interesting.

It's obvious that the Chen family has no shortage of money right now.

To ensure everyone had a good time, they added ginger candy, and since they all had driver's licenses, they also provided it.

Chen Pingsheng also bought two dark green convertible Bentleys locally and set off with the rest of the group.

When traveling long distances and encountering scenic spots, the most enjoyable thing is driving your favorite convertible sports car.

It sped off into the middle of the road.

Even though his wife is already this wealthy, the dark green convertible Bentley Continental GT still has all the money in the world.

There have always been several of them at home.

Price is irrelevant; it's simply because I like it.

At the prime of her life, An An and her best college friends took a road trip across the country in a Rolls-Royce Dawn and a Bentley Continental GT.

Is there anything happier than this?
Most importantly, whenever they get tired of driving, they can park the car on the side of the road and switch to the Brabus V-Class minivan, which costs more than two million yuan.

When encountering uneven deserts and wilderness, it can still drive the Brabus G-Class with its super high chassis.

If they hadn't been with Chen An'an, they probably would never have had such a travel experience in their entire lives.
