I started from Tianjin and have traveled in Jinzhong and southeastern Shanxi for eight days. Today, after visiting the Red Flag Canal from Changzhi, Shanxi to Henan, I was thinking about where to go next? According to the prepared strategy, I should go north and then return to Tianjin, which should be Handan, Zhaoxian, Dingzhou, or go directly to the ancient villages of Yingtan, Longhua or Daping on the outskirts of Xingtai. But I always felt that there was a hint pushing me to make another choice. Finally, I locked my eyes on Xingtai and chose a hotel in Xindu District in the city center from Ctrip. I thought it would be more convenient to go there the next day. This is the Super 8 Hotel.
It was my first time to Xingtai and my first time staying in Super 8. I arrived at around 5 pm. The yard was full of cars. I thought the business here was really good. The moment I walked into the lobby, I was attracted by the two busy ladies at the front desk. I have stayed in so many hotels, and the front desk receptionists are mostly young girls. There are not many professional, mature and capable front desk receptionists like the one in front of me. The state of their work makes the whole lobby convey the atmosphere of a five-star hotel. At least I think the aura here is very strong at this time.
When checking in, I asked one of the ladies if there was any place to eat nearby. I didn't expect her ability to figure out the guests' psychology to surprise me. She said that if we just want to eat home-cooked meals, there is a restaurant not far ahead. Her dumplings are delicious. She said that she often goes there with friends. Is it okay? I said I was just thinking about eating dumplings. It's great. She said, I'll give you my friend's phone number. She is a member of that restaurant. If you go to the restaurant to eat, you can enjoy the member price by showing this phone number. At this moment, I was overjoyed and suddenly felt that the lady in front of me seemed to be a messenger sent by God to guide me, a stranger, how to go and where to eat. Her enthusiasm for the beauty of adults made me, a hungry and tired traveler, feel inexplicably moved and satisfied. I learned from another lady at the front desk that she was also a manager. This was my first impression of Xingtai and Super 8. Of course, in addition to this, the hardware facilities of Super 8 are also impeccable. From all the details, we can see that the managers here have good aesthetics and care, which can be seen from the use of soft water equipment in the bath.
After putting away the luggage, we went to the dumpling restaurant. Everything was as the female manager said. The dumplings and dishes were great, and we also enjoyed the treatment of members.
After dinner, I returned to the hotel and lay on the bed. I had a deep thought. I repeatedly asked myself, what is travel? What is the meaning of travel?
I think that traveling is to get close to a city, a village, a house and a tree that have been destined by fate, and the people waiting there. They are actually old customers in unfamiliar places.
Since God has destined everything, why don’t we slow down, slow down our breathing, and dance gracefully with the magic wand of God?
