[Four-day tour route in southern Guizhou] Stroll in the nostalgic old city of Quito, sipping coca tea.

In the morning, the Andes are as refreshing and delicious as fresh tea, and Quito begins to glow with the vitality of a new day in the crowd, pigeons and sunshine. Bian Xiao takes you to explore a day in Quito.

When the city gradually wakes up, sip coca tea on the rattan chair in the bay window of the hotel. The nostalgic old city has just been rebuilt according to the golden age. The doorman wearing a hat and white gloves and the pen and ink in the room add to the feelings here. Coca tea, a popular tea in South America, chews bitter leaves, but makes light and fragrant tea.

Green Leaf Square is the intersection of this complex city, where most beautiful ancient buildings are concentrated, and Baroque Cathedral and Presidential Palace are also located. The first expedition to explore the Amazon River set sail from here;

All the street vendors have settled in this brand-new market. On the seven Inca mountains, the park shines with beautiful light, and only Quito, the capital of this continent, is the greenest. Mottled old buildings and green trees and red flowers add some bright colors to the city.

The ancient town of Lalongda, where light meets ancient times, vividly shows the past of the ancient town. Five years ago, it was very dangerous and crazy to go to the old city at night. Now, it would be considered foolish not to go to the old city at night. But your wallet is collapsing at an alarming rate.

The square is shaded by green leaves, trees are swaying, and flocks of pigeons are leisurely foraging. I went to the second floor of this restaurant, and then I chose a sunny seat to sit down. A waiter with a cold face came to ask me what to eat. I ordered a blood sausage soup. This became the only password to open the safe with a smile. The waiter immediately looked at me with an old friend's smile and said, "The blood sausage soup here is the most distinctive food in our restaurant." Besides delicious food, you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Quito here. If you are lucky, you can enjoy beautiful folk music. This is a kind of music from Ecuador, similar to Fado folk songs in Portugal, with vicissitudes of life and a lot of sadness in its tone. Of course, the best thing is that this store is not on the list of tour groups. It is purely coincidental, purely accidental and random.

Art galleries, handicraft shops and workshops are all over the streets. There is also a cafe here, which was converted from an orphanage. In the poetic courtyard, I was lucky enough to taste the famous local hot chocolate.

Andalusia Hotel has a very unique courtyard. In order to enjoy everything, I stayed in the Moorish building of Andalusia Hotel for a few days. The sunny courtyard restaurant provides visitors with various Ecuadorian cuisines. The waiter wore a traditional red cloak and looked warm and generous. This cloak is handmade, delicate in texture and unique in style. In order to pass on this traditional handicraft, a new generation of craftsmen set up handicraft schools for poor teenagers. The working hours of the school are open to tourists, future sculptors and woodcarvers. To get in touch with their exquisite skills. The altar sculptures they created are already very infectious, even in the most gorgeous monastery in Quito.

San Diego cemetery in urban highlands. This is the favorite place for tourists in this city. In the cemetery, solemn graves and melancholy angel statues stand tall. Next door, in the monastery of San Diego in the16th century, the nuns hurried in the shadows. This is an amazing San Francisco church. Of course, the biggest miracle is the San Francisco church in the center of the old city, which is the most luxurious religious center in continental Europe. It has miraculously stood up to now in numerous earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. I climbed onto the scaffold and looked at the gold-plated baroque decoration on the top. Looking up at the Arabian-style ceiling and smiling angel from such a high place is really dizzy. "This place was built on the ruins of Atahualpa Palace, and it hasn't changed at all since it was built," someone told me. Atahualpa was the last chief of the Inca. It is said that he has a lot of gold, but no one knows where these treasures are.

The fragrance of tea will always disappear, but many people in Kido have added new legends to the city with their enthusiasm year after year.
