| 2-Day Sand Creek Relaxation Guide. A friend asked me how many days are suitable for a trip to Sand Creek.
I thought about it, and Sand Creek is not suitable for "playing", but for living.
No matter how many holidays I have, I am willing to spend them here.
Observe life seriously and enjoy life.
If you only have one weekend,
go to Yujin Bridge to see the morning mist and sunrise.
The sun shines through the mist, and the river glistens with golden light.
Like stars scattered, the mountains and rivers are colored.
The village in the distance slowly wakes up with smoke curling up.
The shepherd drives the horse to the wilderness.
The birds quietly swallow the fruit on the persimmon tree.
Go to the ancient theater to feel the taste of time.
The flying eaves and corners are simple and exquisite.
It is the Kuixing Tower, the morning star of scholars in the imperial examination era.
It is also a theater, witnessing the singing and dancing of the Bai people.
Go to Xingjiao Temple to see the ancient murals.
The mottled door still smells of wood.
Ride a yellow bike to my favorite Xianfeng Bookstore.
Xianfeng Bookstore understands the language of the earth.
Each bookstore fits the local temperament.
Go to the poetry lighthouse to find a poem that touches your heart.
When the sun sets,
the ducks swim home in groups.
Besides them, the clouds and clouds also flow with the river.
The night in Sand Creek is the most charming.
Occasionally, singers play guitar and sing folk songs on Sideng Street.
After the curfew, there is only the sound of water and wind.
Look up, and you will see the stars.
At that moment, I suddenly understood.
"Humans live poetically on the earth."
