    The Sima Qian Shrine is truly an awe-inspiring cultural sanctuary! Ascending the 99 steps, one feels as if they've led one through millennia of history, each step treading upon a rich cultural heritage. The towering memorial archways, inscribed with the inscriptions "High Mountains to Admire" and "River and Mountain Sun," silently testify to the boundless reverence of future generations for the historian. From the summit, gaze eastward at the mighty Yellow River, like a golden dragon, and westward at the vast, rolling Liangshan Mountains. The magnificent landscape unfolds before one's eyes, echoing the majestic visions of Sima Qian's writings. Within the shrine, towering ancient cypresses and numerous stone tablets stand, inscribed with inscriptions by generations of literati and poets praising the enduring achievements of the Grand Historian. Behind the shrine, ancient cypresses shaped like dragons at Sima Qian's tomb symbolize his unyielding spirit, growing even more vigorous after millennia of trials and tribulations. Not only are there majestic ancient buildings and beautiful natural scenery, but there are also vivid historical scrolls like the Twelve Chronicles Landscape Garden, as well as novel interactive projects such as XR immersive experience and bamboo slip transcription, which make history truly "alive". Whether it is to pursue cultural context or to meditate quietly, the Sima Qian Temple can bring you a deep cultural journey that cleanses the soul, worthy of being called a "holy land of literature and history".

    Title: Passionate skiing, enjoy the fun of ice and snow - my experience of skiing Introduction: Skiing, this passionate and challenging sport, is always desirable. This winter, I finally had the opportunity to come to the ski resort I had long admired and experienced a unique ice and snow journey. The following is my experience of playing at the XX ski resort, and I share this joy with you. 1. First visit to the ski resort The ski resort is located in a beautiful mountainous area with convenient transportation and complete facilities. When I arrived at the ski resort, I was immediately attracted by the natural scenery here. The snow-capped slopes, the blue sky, and the fresh air seemed to have entered a pure fairy tale world. 2. Ski equipment rental In order to better experience the fun of skiing, I rented professional ski equipment at the ski resort. The ski resort provides a full range of equipment, including skis, ski boots, ski poles, helmets, etc. The staff patiently selected suitable equipment for me and my companions, and explained in detail how to use it to ensure our safety. 3. Skiing experience 1. Beginner experience As a ski beginner, I chose the primary track. Under the guidance of the coach, I learned the basic skiing posture and skills. Although I fell several times during the process, the feeling of flying on the snow made me unable to stop. 2. Intermediate track challenge After getting familiar with the basic essentials of skiing, I began to try the intermediate track. Compared with the primary track, the intermediate track has a larger slope and a faster speed. During the sliding process, I felt the thrill of speeding, and it also tested my balance and adaptability. 3. Snow entertainment projects In addition to skiing, the ski resort also has entertainment projects such as snow flying saucers, snowmobiles, and snow tanks. My friends and I tried these projects together, and laughter echoed over the ski resort, allowing us to feel the unique charm of the ice and snow world. IV. Food and rest 1. Catering services The restaurants in the ski resort provide a rich variety of food, including authentic local specialties and a variety of fast food. After skiing, taste the food, replenish your energy, and prepare for the next play. 2. Rest area The ski resort has several rest areas equipped with comfortable chairs and heating equipment. In the rest area, we can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the ski resort, exchange skiing experiences, and relax. V. Intimate service 1. Coach team The coach team of XX ski resort is professional and enthusiastic. They patiently provide one-on-one teaching to tourists, so that more people can master skiing skills and enjoy skiing. 2. Safety guarantee The ski resort attaches great importance to the safety of tourists and is equipped with a professional safety guarantee team. During the skiing process, patrolling paramedics can be seen everywhere to ensure that tourists can get timely help when they encounter difficulties. 3. Children's playground The ski resort also set up a children's playground for children, equipped with professional caregivers, so that parents can let their children play in the snow with confidence. VI. Play experience 1. Challenge yourself During the play process of the ski resort,

    The museum is located in a park. The parking lot is near the park, but there are many cars and few spaces. We parked quite far away. The museum's entrance, plaza, and staircase are all rather extravagant, requiring a long walk. After going up to the second floor and entering the main gate, exhibition halls 1 and 2 are on the first floor, so you have to go back downstairs. The exhibits are worth seeing, but the layout is inconvenient and should be improved.

    On the weekend, I came to Yuncheng Salt Lake with anticipation. When I stepped into the scenic area, the view suddenly opened up, and a sparkling lake came into view. The lake water sparkled dazzlingly under the sunshine, as if it was a bright gem inlaid by nature on the earth. Walking along the lake, the lake water presents a unique color. Some places show a deep blue, like a miniature of the sea; some places are light green, as if they were gently painted by nature's brush. The salt crystals by the lake sparkled in the sun, like countless diamonds scattered on the shore, and they made a crisp sound when stepped on, which is quite interesting. I couldn't help but take off my shoes and step into the lake. The lake water was cool and clear, gently caressing my feet, bringing a touch of comfort. In the distance, some tourists were taking pictures, and some were playing by the salt lake, and laughter echoed over the lake. Yuncheng Salt Lake not only has charming natural scenery, but also contains rich historical and cultural heritage. Here, I seemed to travel through time and space, and felt the love and cherishment that people from ancient times to the present have had for this magical land. This trip to the salt lake brought me a lot of happiness and unforgettable memories, and also made me more in awe of the magic and greatness of nature.

    Zhangbi Ancient Castle, a national key cultural relics protection unit in Jiexiu City, Shanxi Province, is famous for its military defense system and astronomical culture. Below is a travel guide. Must-See Highlights: Underground Tunnels: A three-layered structure (upper level for sentry duty, middle level for troop deployment, lower level for food storage). 1500 meters of the tunnels are currently open to the public, containing ancient military facilities such as horse kilns, command kilns, and communication tubes. Wearing non-slip shoes is recommended.

The Erlang Temple Glazed Glass Exhibition Hall displays glazed glass statues of the twelve zodiac animals and the twenty-eight constellations. Locust Tree Embracing Willow: A thousand-year-old locust tree with a hollowed-out willow branch symbolizes vitality and is a landmark of the castle. Astrological Layout: The castle is designed according to the twenty-eight constellations. The north gate corresponds to "Bi" (壁) constellation, and the south gate corresponds to "Zhang" (张) constellation. Climbing the city wall offers a panoramic view of the "Star Village".

    The Halloween activities were very crowded, and there were also fire-pot games and iron-sparkling performances. The roller coaster was thrilling. It was a bit of a shame there wasn't a Ferris wheel. It's just a bit far from Xi'an. Overall, the rides are on the thrill side.
