[Lifestyle] Only when we meet, we miss each other

We are all time travelers. In order to find the light in our lives, we spend our whole lives walking on a long journey. Even if we can’t find light, walking is enough to make us shine. I found myself in nature and washed myself clean.

                                                                                    ——The meaning of walking

“National Highway 318” is a lifetime memory for many people. Starting from People’s Square in Shanghai, it stretches for more than 5,000 kilometers and goes deep into Tibet. This road has become the belief of many people in their lives. A traveler who went to Lhasa purely on foot said, “I hope that when I am 60 years old, I can walk 318 again. At the age of 30, I told God: I know the way in the future. At the age of 60, I will tell God: I want to go home “. This is a place where beauty and danger coexist. Many people kowtow, walk, ride, or drive through this road that carries too many stories and passionate youth.

walk all the way sigh

National Highway 318 is a road from Sichuan to Tibet. It is divided into two lines, north and south. The south line is 2,142 kilometers long, and the altitude rises from more than 500 meters to more than 3,600 meters. It is an important part of National Highway 318. This road is full of many unknown scenery. People are fascinated. Every year, many people who enter Tibet take the 318 National Highway. From comfortable self-driving tours to extreme cycling, from ingenious skateboards to amazing hiking, they have become a unique landscape on the Sichuan-Tibet line. The roads on the southern line are basically climbing in the mountains, with many bends and narrow roads. Along the way, you have to climb over a dozen mountains with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, cross several large rivers such as the Dadu River, the Yalong River, the Jinsha River, the Lancang River, and the Nu River. Litang, the highest city in the world, crosses the Nujiang Mountain, the largest natural danger in the Hengduan Mountains. The scenery along the way is varied and colorful.

Loving someone, climbing a mountain, chasing a dream

I am happiest when I meet my unknown self on the road. I am happiest when I meet like-minded people on the road. I am happiest when I gain this precious memory. My simplest expectation for travel is: “The world is not big, I want to know your existence”.

Departing from Chengdu along Ya’an, Luding, and Kangding, you will meet Bifeng Gorge formed when Nuwa mended the sky for a while, be shocked by the Luding Bridge, which is famous at home and abroad for the Red Army’s brilliant victory here, and even take risks Mount Gongga, which is dangerous to climb. There is also the fourth girl, known as the Queen of Western Sichuan, who took a sightseeing bus from Changpinggoukou to the Lama Temple. The snow-covered temple under the blue sky is solemn and sacred, and the snow-capped mountains and temples make people peaceful. Walking along the boardwalk is like walking through a fairyland, reaching the dead tree beach, where the dead trees are covered with snow, bleak and sad. This road brings you not only a visual feast, but also the invisible energy brought by nature to heal your soul.

Mao Shiba’s Navigator

“Lichi, have you been to Daocheng again? This is Chonggu Temple, the place where I proposed to you. When I arrive at this destination, I will tell you: Because it is the bluest sky, you are an angel. You have come to In my world, the four seasons are replaced by emotions; smiling is the day, crying is the night. I like to be alone until you walk into my heart.”

Lizhi didn’t hear Mao Shibaai’s confession in the navigation, but it warmed the whole Daocheng. Leaving Kangding and heading west all the way to experience the cultural landscape of Kangba, we will pass through this beautiful city and experience the strong religious and cultural beliefs of Litang, which is known as the “highest city in the world”. We came to this holy place called Daocheng Yading, which is called at least once in life. There are not only magnificent and sacred snow-capped mountains, but also vast meadows, colorful forests and blue and transparent lakes. Everything is the most beautiful in the snow-covered plateau. Almost all of them converge here, and all of this makes people linger and forget to return. The best way to enjoy the scenery of Aden is to walk around the mountains like the local devout Tibetans.

I have a jug of wine enough to comfort the dust

“How many roads must a boy walk before he can become a man;

After crossing the Jinsha River Bridge, you have entered the border of Tibet, that is to say, you have officially set foot on the land of Tibet. This is undoubtedly the most beautiful and sacred journey. Everyone has a dream about travel, and there must be a stop called Tibet in that long dream. Tibet is a pure snow-covered plateau in the minds of thousands of travelers, where there is Everest, holy mountains and holy lakes, the holy city of Lhasa, and white clouds and blue sky. Taste highland barley wine and buttered tea, listen to the monks’ serious debate on scriptures, take a pious turn around the scriptures, and look at the blue sky with clouds.
