Chapter 912 - 644: Eyes Sparkling
Watching the bustling scene on the street, even though she was prepared, Tina was still taken aback.
The entire street was lively, but instead of feeling even one mililiter of noise, she was filled with excitement.
In Dragon Country, like many others, she didn't dare go out at night, especially as a somewhat attractive celebrity; the most likely thing to happen if she went out would be an accident.
Sometimes, she even had to guard against someone breaking in at night,
but now being here in Dragon Country, seeing the lively night scene, she felt as if she had entered another world, a world where humans could truly live.
Tina then took out her phone and excitedly took photos with Xia Liang, even posing for pictures with many passersby to commemorate a nighttime scene hard to see in Eagle Country.
And Tina also attracted quite a bit of attention from the passersby; foreigners in Dragon Country still have a high turn-back rate, not to mention beauties like Tina with a 'sign of great misfortune,' some even actively approached her for a photo.
"Mr. Xia Liang, Dragon Country people are so enthusiastic."
As Tina looked at the photos she just took, her face was full of smiles.
She initially thought she might be rejected coming to Dragon Country as someone from another country, but to her surprise, she wasn't rejected, and instead many wanted to get close to her.
Xia Liang smiled and didn't speak; men, they understand!
Tina lingered outside for about half an hour before she followed Xia Liang into Qingyun Evernight City.
"OMG, this statue is so majestic, I only saw it in food critic videos before, seeing it in person feels completely different."
"The lighting here is so beautiful, and the buildings look so spectacular at night."
"So many people, Mr. Xia Liang, what is this thing?"
"..."
Just entering Qingyun Evernight City, Tina let out a series of exclamations.
Although she had watched Aeiri's recorded video before, getting some understanding about Qingyun Evernight City, being there herself, she realized everything was totally different from the video.
It was prettier and more spectacular than the video images, especially the scene of a sea of people, directly startling her.
Being a star from Eagle Country, she's seen some things, but seeing so many people, she was deeply shocked.
Especially since it was nighttime; she had never seen so many people at night in her life.
And she noticed, even though there were a lot of people here, everything was very orderly.
Perhaps because she's from another country, she did attract quite a bit of attention.
But these people maintained a certain polite distance from her, with some Dragon Country people even smiling and nodding to greet her.
If it were in Eagle Country, she'd definitely be taken advantage of being surrounded by so many people.
In comparison, she found Dragon Country people not to be as uncultured as her country's media reported, but rather more cultured than many people in her country.
"Mr. Xia Liang said before, Dragon Country is a land of etiquette, and now it seems to be true indeed."
Tina continued following the crowd inside, asking Xia Liang about things she didn't recognize, and Xia Liang would smile and explain everything in detail.
Watching Tina in front, like a curious child, bouncing around observing her surroundings, Xia Liang suddenly displayed a smile like a doting father.
Compared to his good son, daughters are indeed better!
"Eh, Mr. Xia Liang, there are people dancing here, let's go have a look."
Tina said, directly pulling Xia Liang forward.
In front, a dozen Dragon Country women in red skirts with long sleeves had their heads buried within their mandarin collars.
Music started, and the women simultaneously flicked their mandarin collars open, revealing their beautiful faces to the crowd.
With a touch of rouge on their pink faces, an expression of shyness and concealment, they took a few steps backward on delicate steps, then swiftly spun around, with the mandarin collars dancing along.
Beautiful like pink peach petals, graceful like orchids, combined with the elegant music and gentle light, it was suddenly like an illusion, dizzying everyone.
At this moment, it seemed as if everyone returned to Qingyun's glory days, witnessing scenes of songs and dances with peace across the four seas.
Even Tina, who knew little about Dragon Country's history, was enchanted by the dancing of these beautiful women.
As it's said, arise and dance in the clear shadow, as if not on earth, just so.
Minutes later, the music stopped, and the crowd slowly regained their senses.
"Clap, clap, clap..."
Then thunderous applause rose on site, and the dancing women gently bowed, then slowly exited.
"Wow, Mr. Xia Liang, they danced so beautifully, I've never seen such a dance."
"And their attire, I've never seen such clothing before; is this unique to Dragon Country people?"
Tina asked excitedly, she was really dazzled by the dance just now, with a thought rising in her mind: How can there be such beautiful women in this world?
Though she thought she's somewhat attractive, she realized in front of these Dragon Country women, her appearance was nothing significant.
"Ms. Tina, they're wearing Tang costumes, which is a style within our Hanfu System."
"First, you wear many layers of wide sleeves, layer upon layer, then wrap in a Tang skirt, and finally put on a wide-sleeved coat outside, although cumbersome, it gives a sense of stability and layering."
"Hanfu also represents our identity as a nation of clothing, a land of etiquette, the Splendid Dragon Country, Ceres Country, embodying exceptional craftsmanship and aesthetics in dying, weaving, and embroidery."
"It also inherits more than thirty items of Dragon Country's intangible and cultural heritage and protected Dragon Country arts and crafts..."
Listening to Xia Liang's introduction, Tina's eyes sparkled, she didn't expect a piece of clothing she had never seen before to have so much significance.
"Mr. Xia Liang, where can I buy those Tang costumes like the ones just now? I really like them."
Tina asked curiously, thinking about those Dragon Country women wearing Tang costumes with their graceful figures, she couldn't wait.
"You can buy them at Qingyun Evernight City, I'll take you there."
Xia Liang smiled, and after speaking, he led her inside.
Qingyun Evernight City is itself a commercial street, with many shops lined up here, especially Tang costumes showcasing Tang Dynasty cultural features, which can be purchased here.
Bringing Tina to a Tang costume shop, looking at those various Tang costumes inside, Tina's eyes were already shining.
After all, as a woman, it's in their nature to love shopping, especially seeing these beautiful Tang costumes, it's irresistible.
