Lu Rui'an sent a comment with a hint of complaint, making Tina smile as well.

"Mr. Lu Rui'an, you can also come to Rongcheng, we're waiting for you there."

"I'd rather not. There are still many places in Qingyun I haven't visited, and I don't plan to return to America anytime soon. I'll visit Rongcheng when I get the chance."

The two continued chatting, and time passed slowly. Tina was just about to say goodnight and go to rest when she received another message.

"Miss Tina, when are you returning to America? Once you go back, I want to hire Mr. Xia Liang as my tour guide again."

"So it turns out you're still interested in Mr. Xia Liang. I'll be returning to America in a couple of days. You can make an appointment with Mr. Xia Liang's travel agency then."

"Okay, thanks a lot, Miss Tina. It's getting late, goodnight, Miss Tina."

Putting down her phone, Tina also set her phone aside and started to rest, eagerly anticipating seeing the pandas tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Xia Liang drove the car, taking Tina toward the high-speed train station.

Seeing the bustling high-speed train station, Tina once again showed a curious expression. When she first arrived in Xia Country, she was amazed by the airports, and now she was equally impressed by the high-speed train station.

"Mr. Xia Liang, how long will it take us by high-speed train to reach Rongcheng?"

Tina asked curiously.

"Miss Tina, it will take about four hours or so. We are not actually going to Rongcheng, but to Jiuzhai Valley in Shu Land."

"Not only does it have beautiful scenery, but there's also a Panda Garden. After seeing the pandas, you can enjoy the scenery there."

Xia Liang explained.

Tina nodded, having no objections to Xia Liang's plan. Her main goal was to see the pandas, and she didn't care where they went as long as she could see them.

After waiting for about half an hour, the two boarded the high-speed train, which soon started heading toward Jiuzhai Valley.

Tina was full of curiosity about the high-speed train, as there are none in America.

Sitting in her seat and watching the passing scenes outside the window, Tina was filled with excitement. The feeling of seeing the surrounding scenery from the train was quite nice.

"Mr. Xia Liang, look over there. Is this the Qingyun we've stayed at for a few days? It looks so magnificent from here."

"And over there, the buildings in Dragon Country are so tall, they're in no way inferior to our Eagle Country."

"..."

As the high-speed train moved along, Tina was very excited, continuously exclaiming and never stopping her phone, recording the scenes along the way.

At this moment, Tina was indeed surprised. Previously, she thought only Qingyun City was very prosperous, and other cities couldn't compare with America.

But right after leaving Qingyun City, she saw other cities with similarly numerous skyscrapers. Although their prosperity couldn't match Qingyun City, they were not far off.

According to Xia Liang's introduction, these cities were considered second or even third tier in Xia Country.

About four hours later, as the high-speed train stopped, the two arrived at Jiuzhai Valley.

Jiuzhai Valley is a 5A-level scenic area in Xia Country, a World Natural Heritage Site, and a World Biosphere Reserve, reputed as a 'Fairy Tale World' and labeled as the 'King of Waterscapes.'

Jiuzhai Valley is located at the transition zone from the Tibetan Plateau to the Western Sichuan Plateau and mountains to Shu Land. It belongs to the world high-altitude karst terrain, with over half the area covered by virgin forests where many rare wild animals reside.

Coming to Shu Land, not visiting Jiuzhai Valley would surely be a regret.

"Miss Tina, the hotel is already booked, let's head to the hotel first."

Outside the high-speed train station, a car was already waiting. Xia Liang took the keys and opened the car door, looking at Tina as he spoke.

As an international travel agency, it had operations nationwide. Before arriving, the agency had already arranged vehicles and accommodation.

"Okay."

Tina nodded, then got into the car. About half an hour later, Xia Liang drove to the previously reserved hotel.

"Miss Tina, you should take a break first. We'll have lunch, and in the afternoon I'll take you to the Panda Garden to see the pandas."

"Okay, Mr. Xia Liang."

Back in their rooms, Tina looked at the tidy room, nodded, and then started organizing.

After lunch, Xia Liang took Tina and headed toward the Jiuzhai Valley tourist area.

"Miss Tina, this is Jiuzhai Valley in Shu Land of our Dragon Country."

Xia Liang said with a smile,

while Tina's eyes were looking around, filled with sparkle.

She saw rushing streams, cascading waterfalls, ancient and mysterious forests, and the undulating snowy peaks...

Completely different from the sights in Qingyun they had seen before, here she felt a vibrant vitality. Taking a deep breath, even the air carried a sweet scent.

"Mr. Xia Liang, this place is simply too beautiful. Living here would be wonderful."

Tina said excitedly, the picturesque scenery couldn't be surpassed.

"Miss Tina, Jiuzhai Valley is known as the king of waterscapes. The scenery is not only pleasant, but the waters here are also crystal clear."

Even though Xia Liang had visited many times, he was still captivated by the beautiful scenery of Jiuzhai Valley.

Xia Liang then led Tina inside, while also introducing some details about Jiuzhai Valley to her.

"The terrain of the Jiuzhai Valley Nature Reserve is higher in the south and lower in the north, with deep valleys and significant altitude differences. The altitude at the northern rim, the entrance of Jiuzhai Valley, is relatively low, about two thousand meters."

"While the peaks in the central area reach over four thousand meters, the southern edge exceeds forty-five hundred meters, and the main valley extends over thirty kilometers."

"Look at the snow on the peaks and both sides of the mountains; it covers much of the year. This is also a major attraction of Jiuzhai Valley."

Tina followed Xia Liang's pointing direction and indeed saw snow-capped peaks, like wearing white hats. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"In Jiuzhai Valley, apart from these beautiful landscapes, it is also a wildlife conservation area."

"The main protected species include giant pandas, golden monkeys, and other endangered animals, as well as the natural ecological environment."

"Within the reserve, there are 74 species of nationally protected rare plants among the higher plants, with three classified as first-class protected plants: ginkgo, the yew, and the One-Leaf Plant."

"There are 66 species of second-class protected plants, primarily in the Orchidaceae family, and five plants listed in the Red Book of Endangered Plants of Dragon Country."

"..."

Listening to Xia Liang's introduction, the two quickly went deeper into Jiuzhai Valley.

"Mr. Xia Liang, look over there, what is that? It's so beautiful."
