唐代詩人杜牧名詩《過華清宮》

長安回望繡成堆，

山頂千門次第開。

一騎紅塵妃子笑，

無人知是荔枝來。

Glancing back from Changan, Huaqing palace seemed to be situated in an agglomeration of embroideries.

On top of the mountain, thousands of gates opened in an orderly fashion 

A pampered lady smiled as a horse back rider sped up his journey to reach the palace.

No one  realized that the fresh lychees from far away just got carried in with compassion.
