When I came to Shanxi, I saw the excesses of Shanxi people.

It was my first time to travel to Shanxi. Shanxi people made me feel their excessive hospitality and simplicity. At the Yungang Grottoes, we originally agreed to give a 3-hour explanation, but the teacher ended up giving a 4-hour explanation. The teacher himself was still unsatisfied and even took a high-five photo for me. When I was eating in Datong, the waiter wouldn't let me order more for fear that I wouldn't be able to eat it. There was a food made of potatoes and noodles. The aunt put it in a bowl for me and added pickled sauerkraut. She spoke very gently and taught me how to eat it. I was very enthusiastic. I'm so embarrassed When I was in a hotel in Datong, I found that the room had not been cleaned when I returned. I thought I would just bring a toothbrush or something, but the hotel directly upgraded me to a room with a view. At the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, after visiting the Pure Land Temple, I walked back to the back door of the wooden pagoda. I didn’t know how to get back to the main entrance. The lady from the scenic area let me in after reading my ticket and told me how to get back to the main entrance. After that, There are many places. It is the first time you leave the scenic spot and go back without buying a ticket. I had a barbecue in Yingju in the evening at Jiayinghui Yongyiyuan. I laughed and laughed for two hours. I was half thinking about the things I ordered because it was already past 10 o'clock and I had a schedule the next day. I really didn't want to wait anymore so I went. When I checked out, the lady at the cashier said that the order was free (the items on the order must have cost more than 70 yuan). I insisted on paying the bill. At this time, a big brother came over and said to me, "Brother, listen to me. I am the boss. This order is free." , I didn’t let you eat well for more than two hours, this is our reason." After struggling for a long time, nothing got me to scan the code. I wanted to see the Ashoka Tower in Dai County. It was after six o'clock when I arrived. I thought that I would not be able to enter the government compound, so I went with the mentality of giving it a try. Yes, the security guard at the door had no airs at all and even gave me directions. This would never happen where we are. On the way to Mount Wutai, I passed Chairman Mao’s Road Residence. The manager gave me a commemorative medal, opened the back door and pointed out the path for me to pay my respects to Chairman Mao’s statue. In Pingyao Ancient City, I wanted to buy freshly cooked beef outside the ancient city. The ticket collector under the city wall held a map and enthusiastically told me the route. On the way to Pingyao Ancient City Station by taxi, the taxi driver did not offer any sales promotion. He told me some other places worth seeing in Shanxi. I am welcome to come back next time. This trip to Shanxi was smooth and enjoyable. I was shocked by the ancient buildings in Shanxi and moved by the enthusiasm and simplicity of Shanxi people. Before I left Shanxi, I already wanted to know where to go next time in Shanxi. Played. This is my reflection before getting on the plane, looking forward to my next trip to Shanxi
