Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 319: Harbor City

As for the application of the Hong Kong and Macau Pass, she made a guide online when she had the idea of ​​coming to Guangzhou.

I have also prepared the materials in advance and completed the preliminary steps online. Today I just have to go through the final processing procedures.

After arriving, the document processing went smoothly.

Lin Qingyan held her newly issued pass and couldn't help but feel excited. She was going to the other side.

In their time, they did not have trade relations with the other side of the strait. Even before the trade was liberalized, anyone who had relations with the other side would be implicated.

But now she can go directly to the other side across thousands of mountains and rivers in another time and space.

If Ye Yi and Wang Lanlan knew that she came directly to Gangcheng, they would definitely be envious for a long time. In the eyes of ordinary people of this era, Gangcheng is mysterious and prosperous.

Lin Qingyan returned to the hotel to check out, took her bag and took the train to Pengcheng.

As the first special economic zone established in the early days of reform and opening up in the 80s, Pengcheng has been an irreplaceable city in the following decades.

She will inevitably have contact with this city in the future, so she should come here now while she has time, so that she can come here at any time through space in the future.

Modern Shenzhen is as lively as Guangzhou. It is a truly prosperous metropolis. Lin Qingyan was dazzled by the scenery and bustling crowds before her.

She did not stay in Pengcheng for a long time. She only stayed in the modern Pengcheng for one night. The next morning, she went to see the Pengcheng of 79 through space.

There is no way to compare the Pengcheng of 79 with the modern Pengcheng. If she didn't know in advance that this was the Pengcheng of decades ago, Lin Qingyan would not have dared to recognize the two places as the same place.

The difference is huge. At that time, Pengcheng had not yet built a special economic zone, and most of the people living here were local fishermen.

Lin Qingyan looked at the vast expanses of wasteland in front of her and wanted to buy a few plots of land here before the special economic zone was established.

But she was born in 79 and doesn’t have much cash on hand. She has to wait until she sells the things she bought before she can get more cash. It seems that she still needs to continue to earn money. Otherwise, even if she knows there is a business in front of her that can make money, she can’t do it without the start-up capital.

This time she is just here to explore the way, she will definitely come again in the future.

Lin Qingyan stayed in Pengcheng for one night and then returned to Yangcheng. She went from the modern Yangcheng to the port city. She took a car through the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and arrived at the port city after passing through customs.

Lin Qingyan looked at the legendary city in front of her and felt calm.

She had seen modern Pengcheng, Yangcheng, and Beijing, so the Hong Kong city had little impact on her.

If someone who was born and raised in the 70s saw Hong Kong for the first time, the shock would definitely be similar to her first time seeing modern times.

Lin Qingyan found a hotel and checked in. Then she carried her bag and went to walk around the city that was considered mysterious and luxurious in the 70s and 80s.

Before coming here, she looked up some travel guides online. When she arrived in Central, it was already noon. She randomly found a noodle shop and ordered a bowl of noodles.

I have to sigh that the prices here are really high. A bowl of noodles costs more than one hundred yuan. Lin Qingyan didn't even want to waste the soup in the bowl and ate it all.

Then she went out and continued to walk around. She saw many tourists going to the Central Ferris Wheel. She looked at them with envy, but she didn't dare to go up and ride it.

She followed a mainland tour group and strolled slowly. After visiting Central, she went to Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui.

I even followed the tour group and took a sightseeing bus.

When the sightseeing bus travels around the island, you can see skyscrapers that reach into the sky as well as villas hidden on the hillside. It is said that the hillside is a wealthy area and the houses there are priced out of the market and cannot be bought just by having money.

Lin Qingyan reached the top of the mountain and overlooked the entire Victoria Harbour from above. Only then did Lin Qingyan deeply feel the beauty and charm of this city.

After dinner in the evening, I returned to the hotel, locked the doors and windows, changed my clothes, and then went from the space to the port city of 79.

Hong Kong was also very prosperous in 79, and the houses were not much different from those in Hong Kong decades later. Lin Qingyan was walking on the street when she suddenly heard a song.

"Sweet, your smile is sweet

It seems that the flowers are blooming in the spring breeze

Blooming in the spring breeze..."

This song "Sweet Honey" released by Teresa Teng in 79 has become popular in the streets and alleys of Hong Kong. Due to the lack of communication with the mainland,

This song is not yet popular in Beijing, and she even didn't hear it in Guangzhou these past two days. It may be that she only went to the wholesale market, and the tape she brought back from Hong Kong would not be easily seen by an ordinary person like her.

When Lin Qingyan heard this song, the first thing that came to her mind was to buy some tapes to take back home, and a tape recorder.

She bought a lot of tape recorders in modern times. Although the styles she bought were the oldest, they were lighter and more fashionable than the ones Lin Qingyan saw at this time.

"Hey, are you going to buy it or not? If not, don't stand here."

The shop assistant couldn't help but urge Lin Qingyan to leave when he saw her standing there.

These days, there is a group of people standing in front of the store every day, listening to songs for free, and not paying for a copy. They are all poor people.

If the girl in front of him hadn't been wearing a red dress and didn't look like a poor person who had sneaked in from the mainland, he would have said something even more unpleasant.

"Is the song you just played from this tape? How much is this?"

Lin Qingyan pointed at the tapes on the shelf and asked.

"This is Teresa Teng's latest single. This copy costs 10 Hong Kong dollars."

The guy noticed her accent wasn't from Hong Kong and glanced at her, but seeing that she was dressed fashionably, he picked up the tape and introduced it to Lin Qingyan.

"This song is very popular right after it comes out. Usually, the tapes are sold out as soon as they arrive. You came at the right time. Today's tapes were just delivered. If you came later, they might be sold out."

"Anything else?" There was only one lyric song, and Lin Qingyan felt it was not worth spending 10 Hong Kong dollars to buy it.

"Yes, this one is Teresa Teng's latest album. It not only contains "Sweet Honey", but also her cover of "The Moon Represents My Heart."

The guy was holding a tape and introducing the most popular singer, Teresa Teng. Lin Qingyan looked at other tapes.

I introduced it to her: "Here is also a collection of popular songs by many singers, including Olive Tree, Childhood, etc."

Lin Qingyan looked at the tapes on the shelves and decided to buy a few of each. She could take them home to listen to herself or give them to others.

At this moment, she thought of Lu Wan'er, Gu Yizhou's mother, and she felt that Lu Wan'er would definitely like these very much.

And Teacher Ouyang would probably like it too. Lin Qingyan mentally counted the people who needed to receive the tapes and felt that she should buy at least 10 copies of each tape so that she would have some extra to sell.

So she pointed at a few tapes and asked.

"There are 5 plates of each of these 10 types. Do you have enough?"

The shop assistant was now thankful that he had not spoken harshly to Lin Qingyan when he had just driven her away. Not only was she not a poor person, she was also a rich person.

We should let those poor guys see it. The guy happily took out a few discs from the cabinet at the back, making a total of 10 discs. He took a bag and put the tapes in it.

"Yes, there are 10 plates of each, 50 plates in total, a total of 500 Hong Kong dollars."

After the waiter finished speaking, he looked at Lin Qingyan with a smile and waited for her to pay.

Lin Qingyan paused while taking money out of her pocket and looked at the waiter awkwardly.
