Therefore, choosing to meet in an "intermediate city" that reduces the distance by half is the best way to get together.

The two ate sweet fish-flavored shredded pork and donkey meat in Baoding. They also went to the ancient lotus pond to see the scenery and took a walk in the park.
“When I was young, I wanted to work hard and lead my parents to live a good life; when I got old and retired, I wanted to help my children and help raise my grandchildren. I have been busy for most of my life, being a daughter, a mother, and a mother-in-law. "As a grandma, you can only be yourself when you are with your sisters," Wang Lu said with emotion.
When talking about why they chose to go in both directions, Li Guilan and Wang Lu both said "comfortably".
“In this city, I have no identity. I am just a tourist, just playing. I feel very relaxed. It is a newer experience to move to a ‘niche’ city that neither of us has been to. However, I will still have to travel during off-peak hours next time. , try to leave tourist attractions for young people to check in," Li Guilan said. (End)
