Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

The first ray of sunlight in the early morning quietly slipped into Lu Yong's room through the gap in the curtains.

He slowly opened his eyes. His girlfriend Hannah was still sleeping beside him. Her peaceful appearance made Lu Yong unable to help but gently kiss her forehead.

Today is the second day of their trip to Qingdao, and the Pier, as a landmark building in Qingdao, is naturally the first stop of their trip.

Lu Yong got up quietly, afraid of waking Hannah. He walked to the window and opened the curtains, letting the sunlight fill the room. Then, he turned back to the bed and gently woke Hannah up: "Baby, it's time to get up. We are going to the pier today."

Hannah rubbed her sleepy eyes, and when she heard the word "Pier", she immediately perked up: "Really? That's great! I've always wanted to go and see it!" With that, she quickly got up, washed, and prepared to set off with Lu Yong.

The two walked hand in hand on the way to the pier. There were not many people on the streets of Qingdao in the early morning, but the air was filled with a fresh scent. Lu Yong and Hannah chatted while walking, enjoying this rare tranquility and romance.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the pier. From a distance, the 440-meter-long sea promenade looked like a giant dragon lying on the sea, majestic and imposing. The sunlight shone on the pier, shining with golden light, breathtakingly beautiful.

"Wow, it's spectacular!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaim.

Lu Yong smiled and held her hand tightly: "Come on, let's go upstairs for a walk."

The two stepped onto the pier, feeling the warmth of the solid wooden planks beneath their feet. The sea breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness and saltiness, but making people feel particularly refreshed. They looked out at the sea, and saw the sea surface sparkling, as if countless elves were dancing.

"You know what? Every time I see the sea, I feel particularly cheerful." Hannah said to Lu Yong.

Lu Yong nodded: "Yes, the sea can always make people forget their troubles and feel the beauty of life."

As he spoke, he took out the bread he had prepared in advance from his backpack and handed it to Hannah: "Come, let's feed the seagulls."

Hannah took the bread, broke it into small pieces excitedly, and threw it into the air. Instantly, a group of seagulls flew over and scrambled to grab the food. Lu Yong quickly picked up the camera to capture this rare scene. With a "click", a photo of a seagull taking the bread from Hannah's hand was frozen.

"Haha, did you take a picture of it?" Hannah asked Lu Yong.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded: "Of course, you will see it later, it must be very beautiful."

The two walked along the way, feeding the seagulls, laughing and talking. Gradually, more and more tourists came to the pier, but Lu Yong and Hannah seemed to be in their own little world, enjoying this romance that belonged only to them.

At the end of the pier is the octagonal pavilion Huilan Pavilion. It is also a great place to enjoy the sea view. Lu Yong and Hannah stood in the pavilion, looking at the sea view in the distance, feeling relaxed and happy.

"It's so beautiful here!" Hannah couldn't help but sigh again, "I'm so glad I can see such a beautiful scenery with you."

Lu Yong held her in his arms and said affectionately: "Me too, with you by my side, every scenery becomes particularly moving."

The two decided to take more photos on the pier. Lu Yong took out his camera, adjusted the parameters, and began to take photos of Hannah. Hannah posed in various poses, sometimes smiling brightly, sometimes gentle and charming. Lu Yong kept pressing the shutter to record every beautiful moment of her.

"Okay, it's my turn to take the picture for you." Hannah said as she took the camera.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded, standing on the pier, letting Hannah do whatever she wanted. He knew that no matter what pose he made, Hannah would be able to capture his most handsome side.

After taking the photos, the two sat on a bench by the pier to rest. The sea breeze blew gently, bringing a burst of coolness. They chatted and shared their impressions and expectations of Qingdao.

"You know what? I've always wanted to take a ride on a powerboat," Hannah said suddenly.

Lu Yong was stunned when he heard this, then he laughed: "Really? Then what are we waiting for? Let's go now!"

As he spoke, he took Hannah's hand and walked towards the sea boat ticket office not far away. After a while, they were on a motorboat. The motorboat slowly sailed into the sea, and the sea breeze blew towards them, bringing a hint of saltiness and coolness. Lu Yong and Hannah sat on the motorboat, feeling the wind blowing across their faces, looking at the endless sea around them, and their mood was extremely beautiful.

"Too fast! So exciting!" Hannah shouted excitedly.

Lu Yong held her hand tightly to ensure her safety. He looked at Hannah's excitement, and his heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction. He knew that Hannah was the most real and happiest at this moment.

The motorboat was speeding on the sea, stirring up waves. Lu Yong and Hannah seemed to be in a dream world, all their troubles were taken away by the sea breeze, and only their laughter and cheers were left.

After an unknown amount of time, the motorboat slowly stopped. Lu Yong and Hannah got off the motorboat and returned to the pier. Their faces were filled with smiles of excitement and satisfaction, as if they had just experienced a wonderful adventure.

"How was it? Was it enjoyable?" Lu Yong asked Hannah.

Hannah nodded. "It's so exciting! I've never been so happy!"

Lu Yong smiled and rubbed her hair: "As long as you are happy, everything I do is worth it."

The two stayed on the pier for a while before reluctantly leaving. They knew that there were many wonderful things waiting for them to discover and experience during this trip to Qingdao. But they also understood that no matter where they go or what they experience, as long as they are by each other's side, it is the greatest happiness.

The next morning, the sun shone through the gaps in the curtains, dappling onto Lu Yong and Hannah's faces. They slowly opened their sleepy eyes and smiled at each other, as if the whole world had become gentler because of this smile.

They quickly got up, washed, and went to the hotel restaurant for a simple breakfast.

Today's destination is Qingdao's famous natural landscape - Laoshan. The mysterious place known as the "No. 1 Fairy Mountain on the Sea" is waiting for their exploration.

In the restaurant, Lu Yong and Hannah were eating and chatting about today's schedule.

Lu Yong said with anticipation: "Hannah, do you know that Laoshan not only has magnificent natural scenery, but also has many scenic spots and historical and cultural attractions. We must explore it today!"

Hannah smiled and nodded. "Yes, I have heard of the fame of Laoshan for a long time. Especially the main peak, Jufeng, which is 1132 meters high and is the highest peak on the Chinese coastline! It makes me excited just thinking about it."

After breakfast, the two drove to Laoshan. Along the way, the scenery outside the car window was picturesque, with green mountains, green waters, blue sky and white clouds complementing each other, as if it was a welcoming avenue carefully paved for them by nature.

Soon, they arrived at the foot of Mount Laoshan. Looking up, they saw the towering peaks, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland. Lu Yong and Hannah smiled at each other, their eyes flashing with desire and curiosity for the unknown world.

They first drove along the coastal highway. The road was winding and picturesque, with the rippling sea on one side and lush mountains and forests on the other. While driving, Lu Yong couldn't help but exclaim: "This scenery is so beautiful! It's just like a painting."

Hannah kept taking pictures with her mobile phone, trying to freeze this beauty forever in the camera. She smiled and said, "Yes, this place is really beautiful. I will take more pictures and show them to my friends when I get back."

At the end of the Ring Road is Qingshan Fishing Village, a small village nestled in the mountains and by the sea, with beautiful scenery and simple folk customs.

Lu Yong and Hannah strolled through the alleys of the village, feeling the tranquility and harmony. They saw the busy figures of fishermen and heard the cheerful laughter of children, as if they had also integrated into this peaceful little world.

In Qingshan Fishing Village, they tasted an authentic seafood feast. Fresh fish and shrimp, plump crab meat, delicious shellfish... every dish made them rave about it. Hannah smiled and said, "This seafood is so delicious! It is simply the most delicious seafood I have ever eaten."

Lu Yong responded with a smile: "The seafood here is indeed well-deserved. It seems that we have come to the right place this time."

After dinner, they continued walking and came to Shazikou. This is a beautiful beach with fine sand and clear water. Lu Yong and Hannah took off their shoes and walked barefoot on the beach, feeling the softness and warmth. They played and took photos, as if they had returned to their carefree childhood.

Near Shazikou, they tasted authentic seafood again. This time it was a small restaurant. Although it was not large in scale, the taste was extremely delicious. Lu Yong and Hannah ate with relish, enjoying the happiness and satisfaction brought by the food.

Finally, they arrived at the main peak of Laoshan Mountain - Jufeng. Looking at the towering mountain, Lu Yong and Hannah felt unprecedented challenge and excitement. They decided to climb this mysterious mountain together to explore the unknown scenery.

The climbing process was not easy. The mountain road was rugged and steep, and every step required carefulness. But Lu Yong and Hannah enjoyed it. They supported and encouraged each other and overcame difficulties one after another. They were also amazed by the scenery along the way. Strange peaks and rocks, waterfalls, green pines and cypresses... Every place was full of the mystery and magnificence of nature.

Finally, they reached the top of the giant peak. Standing here, they could see the entire QD city and the sea. Lu Yong and Hannah smiled at each other, their eyes flashing with joy and pride of victory. They looked down at the world below them, feeling the magnificence and tranquility of nature, as if the whole world had become more wonderful because of their existence.

"It's so beautiful here!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaim, "I think all the efforts are worth it."

Lu Yong held her hand tightly and said, "Yes, as long as I am with you, wherever I go is the most beautiful scenery."

The two stayed on the top for a long time before reluctantly going down the mountain. They knew that this trip to Laoshan would become one of the most precious memories in their lives. Not only because the scenery here is beautiful, but also because they experienced challenges and growth together here, and gained love and friendship.

On the way down the mountain, Lu Yong and Hannah talked about their future plans. They imagined the beautiful scenes of traveling, working and living together, as if the whole world was full of infinite possibilities and hope.

"You know what?" Lu Yong suddenly said, "I feel like we are like this Laoshan Mountain. Although we have experienced countless storms and setbacks, we still stand firm in the end and usher in our glorious moment."

Hannah was stunned when she heard this, then she laughed: "Yes, you are right. We are just like this Laoshan Mountain. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will never give up, because we know that only by persisting can we see the most beautiful scenery."

The two smiled at each other and continued to walk hand in hand. Their backs gradually blurred in the afterglow of the setting sun, but their firm belief and persistent pursuit were forever engraved in their hearts.

This trip to Laoshan not only allowed Lu Yong and Hannah to appreciate the magnificence and tranquility of nature, but also allowed them to gain love and growth. They know that no matter what difficulties and challenges they will encounter in the future, as long as they work together and support each other, they will be able to overcome the storm and welcome the rainbow.

And this love and friendship born on Mount Laoshan will always accompany them through every stage and every corner of their lives.

After returning to the hotel, Lu Yong and Hannah couldn't wait to sort out the photos they took today. Each photo recorded their laughter and tears, challenges and growth today. Looking at these photos, they seemed to be back in the mysterious and magnificent Laoshan.

"Which photo do you think is the best?" Hannah asked Lu Yong.

Lu Yong smiled and pointed to a photo of them at the summit: "Of course it's this one. Look how happy we are! And the scenery behind us is so beautiful."

Hannah laughed when she heard this: "Yes, this photo is really memorable. We must come to Laoshan again in the future to see the changes here."

Lu Yong nodded: "Of course. But next time we come, we should bring more friends to share the beauty and happiness here together."

The two smiled at each other, their hearts filled with expectations and longings for the future.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the room through the curtains, Lu Yong opened his eyes.

He gently pushed Hannah, who was sleeping beside him, and whispered, "Hannah, get up. We are going to a special place today."

Hannah rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked in confusion, "A special place? Where is it?"

Lu Yong smiled mysteriously: "Of course it's the Tsingtao Beer Museum! When you come to Qingdao, how can you not taste the authentic Tsingtao Beer? Moreover, there is not only delicious beer there, but also the history and stories of Tsingtao Beer waiting for us to explore."

When Hannah heard this, she immediately became energetic, quickly got up, washed, and set off for the journey to the Qingdao Beer Museum with Lu Yong.

The Qingdao Beer Museum is located in Shinan District, QD City. It is a building full of historical heritage. As soon as you step into the museum, a strong aroma of beer hits you, making you salivate. Lu Yong and Hannah smiled at each other, knowing that they had come to the right place this time.

There are many exhibition halls in the museum, each of which is full of stories and surprises. They first came to the history exhibition hall, which detailed the origin and development of Tsingtao Beer. From the initial German brewing technology, to the later localized innovation, to today's international brand, the history of Tsingtao Beer is like a vivid picture scroll, slowly unfolding before their eyes.

As Lu Yong watched, he couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that Tsingtao Beer has such a long history! I only knew that it tasted good before, but I didn't expect there were so many stories behind it."

Hannah nodded in agreement: "Yes, these histories make us understand more about the uniqueness of Tsingtao Beer. Also, if you look at these old photos and brewing equipment, they really have a sense of age."

After saying that, she pointed to an old brewing equipment in the exhibition hall. The mottled rust and traces of time seemed to be telling the vicissitudes of Tsingtao Beer.

Then, they came to the brewing technology exhibition hall, which shows every link of Tsingtao Beer from raw material selection, brewing process to finished product delivery. Standing in front of the huge brewing tank, Lu Yong and Hannah imagined that the golden wort was fermented and distilled here, and finally turned into the mellow beer in their mouths, and they couldn't help but admire the brewers.

In the tasting area, Lu Yong and Hannah finally tasted the Tsingtao beer they had longed for.

The refreshing taste and rich aroma made them exclaim in admiration. Lu Yong smiled and said, "This beer is really worthy of its reputation! No wonder everyone says Tsingtao beer is delicious."

Hannah agreed, “Yes, and knowing its history and brewing process makes it taste even better.”

After tasting the beer, they did not rush to leave, but picked up several unique souvenirs in the museum's souvenir shop, intending to take them back to share with their friends. Lu Yong chose a hat with the Tsingtao Beer logo, while Hannah chose an exquisite beer glass. (End of this chapter)
