Lisko’s American Life

Speaking of Beijing’s gourmet food, one has to mention the leader here, “Beijing Donglaishun Restaurant.”

Donglaishun started from the Guangxu period, and now it is considered a time-honored brand. The mutton hot pot here is considered a must. The founder Ding Deshan developed from a porridge shop into a restaurant, which has been passed down by descendants and has become a must-go place for banquets in Beijing. .

When people mention hot-boiled mutton, they always think of this signboard. Donglaishun is a Halal dish. The mutton is carefully selected and processed, and the way of eating is also very popular. Therefore, it can become a school of its own in Beijing, where there are many major cuisines, and become a famous restaurant in the city.

The famous writer Mr. Lao She and his wife Hu Jieqing, the master of Chinese painting Qi Baishi, the master of Peking Opera Ma Lianliang, Zhang Junqiu and other senior celebrities often entertained guests and friends in Donglaishun during their lifetime, and left calligraphy treasures for Donglaishun. Many former leaders of the party and the country also held banquets in Donglaishun to entertain foreign heads of state and dignitaries during their lifetimes. Former U.S. President Nixon, former Secretary of State Kissinger, former RB Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka, Mozambique President Zamora, Pakistani President Ishak Khan, and many government officials and diplomatic officials from Christian countries have all expressed their gratitude to Donglaishun. The delicious food has been highly appreciated and evaluated.

Lisko got out of the car and took Megan to the main store of this well-known restaurant. Its decoration was decorated in the Qing Dynasty, with classic elegance and gorgeous atmosphere.

When Lisko entered the room, the room was separated by a screen and became a private space. The place is steaming, people come and go, and the guests are all pushing glasses. Cooking various dishes with chopsticks.

Megan looked at the copper stove on the table and the various dishes on the adjacent table, and was curious about this way of eating.

Lisko took the menu and ordered a large portion of beef and mutton and some vegetables.

Lisko also ordered some duck intestines and yellow throat, Megan had never seen it before, and kept asking what it was.

The mandarin duck pot with soup base, the red and white soup base inside is rolling, which looks extraordinarily beautiful.

Megan doesn't know how to use chopsticks, and the shopkeeper thoughtfully provided her with a set of knives and forks. She watched Lisko skillfully use two wooden sticks to rinse up and down quickly, and wanted to try it.

"Oh, no, this is so difficult." Megan pouted, she had never used this kind of tableware, and felt that her fingers could not separate the two chopsticks.

"Come on, try it, I'll make it for you." Lisko put the boiled meat into her bowl.

"Hold it with a fork and dip it in some sauce." Lisko looked at Megan's clumsy look fondly.

"Hmm~ It's delicious, but there's still such a way to eat it?" Meghan's eyes lit up as soon as she put it in her mouth.

"The meat is boiled in hot soup, and it won't stay in it for a long time. Basically, it will come out in less than a minute. At that time, the nutrition of the ingredients is not damaged and the taste is very unique. It is dipped in a special sauce. It's the best thing to eat."

Lisko introduced to her.

Lisko ate the pot of red oil. Megan was not very used to chili, so she ate the clear soup, which was made from mushroom soup.

While eating by himself, Lisko cooked for Megan. Watch her exclaim at the taste of different foods.

After the tofu was scalded in the soup pot, it became even more flavorful. Megan couldn't stop eating, and almost all the vegetables and tofu went into her stomach.

The dessert after the meal is Guiling jelly. The hot pot restaurant makes this slightly bitter health product together with other things to make a very delicious dessert.

"This is a kind of dessert. It is mainly made of eagle-billed turtle and Smilax cocos, and it is refined with medicines such as rehmannia root. Because the hot pot we just ate was very hot, this food can remove heat, clear dampness, and refresh the skin. This is the combination of yin and yang in Chinese culture." Lisko introduced to Meghan that she would never refuse anything with a beauty-beautifying function, and she was also amazed by the refreshing taste.

Early in the morning, Lisko called for breakfast in the hotel. The taste of soybean milk and fried dough sticks really made him nostalgic. After packing up their things, they were ready to go out. Today’s destination is the Great Wall, a miracle in the world with a history of more than 2,000 years in China. .

Jinshanling Great Wall stretches across the branch of Yanshan Mountain at the junction of LP County, CD City, HEB Province, and Miyun District, Beijing. It is connected to Simatai Great Wall in the east and Gubeikou Great Wall in the west. Jinshanling Great Wall is located 133 kilometers away from National Highway 101, 130 kilometers away from downtown BJ, 90 kilometers away from Chengde Mountain Resort, and 200 kilometers away from Mulan Paddock. It is an important part of the golden tourist route in northern Beijing.

After a two-hour journey, Lisko and Megan finally arrived after a 130-kilometer journey. The Jinshanling Great Wall is the Great Wall scenic spot for insiders. There are no crowded viewing spots here. You can climb the Great Wall, enjoy the maple leaves, and watch the sunset. , all here can be experienced at once.

Autumn is over, and Beijing is still a little cold in the morning. Walking on the city wall, the breath I exhale turns into fog. Lisko wrapped Meghan's down jacket and scarf, and the two started their trip to the Great Wall.

Magnificent momentum, golden mountain and sea of ​​clouds, twists and turns, looming high and low, majestic, ups and downs, majestic situation... All the words Lisko can think of about the Great Wall can be used here, and Jinshanling Great Wall gave him far more than These are more - the mountains are like waves, the forests are vast, and the horizon is wide. The number of tourists is comfortable, and there are no too difficult sections. It is the best place to walk the Great Wall without too much physical effort. Wuling Mountain, the first peak of Yanshan Mountains, the sparkling Miyun Reservoir and Simatai Reservoir, you can easily have a panoramic view.

Lisko has never been here before. When you really appreciate the scenery here, you find that all your impressions of the Great Wall have been refreshed. You have watched it too many times on TV and movies. When you are here, you feel own insignificance.

There are still some golden maple leaves on the branches, which are stubbornly resisting the invasion of the changing seasons of nature. Lisko reached out to catch a swirling maple leaf, carefully put it away, and planned to go back as a souvenir.

The rising sun rises from the distant hills and sprinkles a layer of golden coat on the ancient city wall, making it even more simple and mysterious. Lisko caressed the wall bricks and sighed for the high-end skills and hard work of the ancients.

"It's so beautiful." Meghan was already staring blankly, took off her gloves and took out her camera to keep taking pictures.

"It's so beautiful here, I can't imagine it was established two thousand years ago. China is so great and mysterious."

There are many European and American tourists carrying oversized luggage and wearing shorts and short sleeves in the city road, and most of these people are British. The Great Wall is the most popular tourist attraction for British people in China. Liske forgot when he read the report. According to media statistics, in the UK, 80% of people want to visit the Great Wall of China. Every year, a large number of tourists come here for pilgrimage. They marveled at and praised this miraculous place.

Some walking competitions and bicycle competitions are often held here, and most of the participants are foreigners. They hope to appreciate the charm of the "Great Wall-Jinshan alone" in the simple and beautiful scenery.
