Chapter 39: Four o'clock in the morning, just to watch the flag-raising ceremony?

[The roast duck has a golden skin and looks delicious! ]

[It seems that Chinese roast duck is used to entertain presidents of various countries! ]

[I remember when President Trump visited China, he ate roast duck! ]

[When I get to China, I will definitely try it. ]

[Her Royal Highness instantly turns into a food show host! ]

After eating the first lotus leaf pancake, she couldn't stop.

Following Chen Lu's example, I put chopped green onion, cucumber, sweet bean sauce and duck meat into the pancake, rolled it up and put it into my mouth.

The fragrance made her close her eyes.

In fact, Anna doesn’t think she is a foodie, at least not when she was with Mao Xiong.

Only when I arrived in China did I realize that it was because the food from the Russian bears was not tasty!
In the past few days since she came here, she eats a lot at almost every meal.

If you continue like this, it's only a matter of time before you gain weight.

Woo woo woo, honey, you won’t mind that I’m fat, right?

There is no way, Chinese food is so delicious, I really can’t help it!

"Actually, there is another way to eat roast duck."

As Chen Lu spoke, he picked up a piece of duck skin, dipped it in sugar, and brought it to her mouth.

Anna swallowed it in one gulp.

"Hmm, this tastes a bit weird..."

[Duck skin dipped in sugar? What kind of dark cuisine is this! ]

[Hey, Chinese boy, are you trying to harm Her Royal Highness? ]

[It must taste very greasy! ]

[Oh my god, I'm going to throw up just thinking about it! ]

"Isn't it delicious?"

Dipping duck skin in sugar is actually a very traditional way of eating it.

But not everyone can accept it.

"It's OK, but I prefer the duck burrito!"

The two of them ate a whole roast duck and were very full.

When they arrived at the hotel, Chen Lu booked a standard room with one bed for each person.

"Anna, go to bed early tonight. I'll get up early tomorrow to take you to watch the flag-raising ceremony."

"Raising the flag?" She looked puzzled.

Anna was a little confused. What was there to see in raising the national flag?

The flag is raised in the Kremlin every day, and she is tired of it.

But as long as she is with Chen Lu, she is willing to do anything.

"Yes, I guarantee you will be shocked!" Chen Lu nodded.

The flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square is quite shocking.

Everyone who has seen it feels excited and their blood boils!

Even foreigners are no exception.

Chen Lu registered the two people in advance using his mobile phone.

You must make an appointment in advance to watch the flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square, otherwise you will not be allowed in.

There’s no way around it. There are so many people going to watch the flag-raising ceremony every day.

He set the alarm in advance to prevent himself from being unable to wake up.

Go early to get a better seat.

Anna was woken up at four o'clock in the morning.

She rubbed her eyes: "Honey, what happened?"

"You forgot I wanted to take you to watch the flag-raising ceremony."

"But it's only four o'clock in the morning."

"If we're any later, we'll miss the flag-raising ceremony."

Anna struggled to get up.

She prefers to sleep in, so getting up at four o'clock is really too much to ask.

In the taxi, Anna was drowsy and her eyelids were twitching.

The driver smiled and said, "Handsome guy, bring your foreign girlfriend to watch the flag-raising ceremony?"

Chen Lu nodded: "Yes."

"Then you are a little late. Let me speed up."

The driver stepped on the accelerator and drove out. A little late?

Anna was stunned. They went out at four o'clock!
Is it still late at this time?
Then don’t the other people who come to watch the flag-raising ceremony sleep?

Who raises the national flag at four in the morning?

[Your Highness, the show is on so early today? ]

[I was just about to go to bed, but Her Majesty the Princess started broadcasting again! ]

[Wait, according to the time zone, it should be less than five o'clock in China, right? ]

[Look outside the window, the sky is just getting light! ]

[Your Highness, what are you going to do so early? ]

Anna yawned: "Chen said he would take me to watch the flag-raising ceremony."

[Look how trapped the little princess is. I feel so sorry for her! ]

【What's there to see in a broken flag-raising ceremony? 】

[Are you sure? Just to raise the national flag, do you need to wake Her Highness up at four in the morning? ]

[Does China have no tourist attractions worth showing off? 】

When they arrived at Tiananmen Square, Anna suddenly woke up and all her sleepiness disappeared!

The square was packed with people, at least tens of thousands of people, all here to watch the flag-raising ceremony?

But it’s not even five o’clock yet!

They really don't sleep!

Anna didn't understand why a flag-raising ceremony could attract so many people to watch at four in the morning?

Even more surprised than her were the audience in the live broadcast room.

Tens of thousands of people gathered here, just to watch the flag-raising ceremony?
If the same scene happened in the United States, it would mean they were preparing for a demonstration!

The volunteer came over and gave each of them a five-star red flag.

Other tourists also had one in their hands.

Anna stood on tiptoe, trying to see clearly what was happening in the center of the square.

In fact, her height of nearly 170cm is already considered very tall.

But the people in front blocked the way too tightly.

Anna pouted, feeling a little frustrated.

Chen Lu squatted down: "Come, I'll carry you."

"But won't you be very tired?"

"It's okay, come up."

It seems Anna weighs no more than 100 pounds, which is no problem for Chen Lu, who has a strengthened physique.

"Thank you for your hard work, dear!"

Lying on Chen Lu’s shoulder, your vision instantly becomes broader!
Anna excitedly recorded the video with her mobile phone. More and more people gathered in the square and the flag-raising ceremony was about to begin!
Tiananmen Square is a must-visit place for everyone who comes to Beijing.

Why not watch the flag-raising ceremony when you come to Beijing?

I’m sorry, that’s the same as not having been here!

In addition to tourists, there are also many locals.

They come to watch the flag-raising ceremony every day, and it has become a habit.

[I am beginning to look forward to China's flag-raising ceremony. ]

【It must be extraordinary to have so many people watching! 】

[When does it start? ]

The guard of honor and military band are ready, and the flag-raising ceremony officially begins!
Tourists took out their mobile phones to record the exciting scene.

The bugler blew the flag-raising horn, and the guard of honor set off from the center of the Tiananmen Gate Tower.

With heads held high and chests puffed out, they marched in neat steps, each step being 75 centimeters long!

In rows horizontally and columns vertically, the movements are uniform!

The sound of their footsteps interweaves into a beautiful piece of music!

[The steps are so neat, it's like they were cast from the same mold! ]

[A team of dozens of people, and no one made a mistake? 】

[No wonder MacArthur was defeated. Look at the quality of their army, and then look at ours! ]

[I found the one on the far left, you are 0.01 seconds slower! ]

[They can even walk in unison. Imagine how terrifying it would be if they were given a battle order?]

Tourists raised the five-star red flag and waved it spontaneously.

The entire Tiananmen Square turned into a sea of ​​red!
The guard of honor guarded the national flag, crossed the Jinshui Bridge, and marched to both sides of the flagpole base.
