"Dongxing Temple Riverside Landscape"

Many people have admired the beautiful night views of Zigong from afar,

but how many have actually walked along the banks of the Fu River,

and seen its most authentic face?

In the quiet night,

time stands still,

and all I want is to take a trip with you,

under the lights.

The dazzling night,

strums the delicate strings of my heart,

accompanied by the cool evening breeze,

as faint glows cast shadows on strands of hair,

regardless of spring, summer, autumn, or winter.

Take a look at the Dongxing Temple Riverside Landscape as night falls,

the same scene, at a different hour,

yet it never fails to captivate,

this is the charm of Zigong.

The beauty of this place needs little introduction from us,

Anyone who has lived in Zigong for a long time knows its beauty.

It is quiet yet brilliant at night,

like an elder in the family,

having endured the trials of history and time.

"Landscape View of Zigong TV Tower"

As children, we were curious about everything,

especially about the tallest buildings,

and the TV tower could be seen from everywhere we went.

The TV tower, illuminated with additional spotlights,

taught us what the ancients meant when they said,

“Adorned lightly or heavily, it always suits.”

The dazzling lights projected into the sky,

making this place seem like a heavenly paradise.

"Landscape View of the Dinosaur Museum"

How much loneliness must one endure,

before standing before the Dinosaur Museum,

to witness such beautiful scenery,

to see you beaming with joy,

sharing this moment with me——
