Nowadays, many people still like to travel in groups. There are many advantages to traveling with a group. You don’t have to worry about food, accommodation, transportation and tickets, which is more comfortable. But over the years, there have been more and more Lone Rangers, and they have reached the point where they are eye-catching.

The most interesting lone ranger I met was in Bayi Town, Nyingchi. I was wandering on a street in the town that day, and a young man walked by. He is not tall, with a weak figure, and he is carrying a huge backpack, which is half his body length. The young man came over and asked me, "Excuse me, how to get to Nanga Bawa Peak?" I was instantly confused, as if someone in Beijing asked me how to get to Wangfujing. Later, I realized that he meant where to take a car to Namjagbarwa Peak. I was not very clear about this, so I pointed him in a general direction.

In addition, there are a lot of little girls in the Lone Ranger. People from Guizhou said that there are many young girls from Guangdong who come here alone to travel. A young girl from Guangdong I met in Congjiang County was very interesting. That day when we were returning to the county from Zhaoxing, the driver stopped at a high place and told anyone who wanted to get out of the car to take pictures to get down quickly, because the whole picture of Zhaoxing could be photographed here. The two of us got out of the car quickly, and a little girl got out of the car together. Later, when the car arrived at Congjiang County, the little girl took the initiative to find us and asked where else to play. We suggested she go to Xiao Huang.

The next day we went to a small village in the north of the county seat, and when we were waiting for the bus on the side of the road back to the county seat, we saw her again. The little girl greeted us like an acquaintance. She said that she lived in a Dong family's house in this village last night. I thought to myself that this kid is brave enough. Then she opened her big terrified eyes and said, "I was scared to death, they made me eat raw beef last night!"

There are also old people among Lone Rangers. The oldest one I met was in Dunhuang. I was on the bus that day, and a guy approached me. This is a slender old lady, gentle and quiet, wearing a tight dress. She said she wanted to go to Yangguan and was looking for a car, and asked if we knew. She introduced herself that she is a doctor in a hospital in Kunming City. She is over 70 years old. After retiring, she travels all day by herself, traveling all over the world, and spends only about one month at home every year. I thought to myself, this is crazy.

There are also religious people, but it is still a bit surprising that a female believer is wandering outside alone. We came across one in Mile County, Yunnan. That time we went to see Axi of the Yi nationality to sacrifice to the god of fire. Because we were afraid of making a mistake in the time and place, we went to Xiyi Township one day in advance to check the situation. There we met her. She looked to be in her forties or fifties, with a slender body and elegant temperament. She was wearing a khaki robe, and a string of beads around her neck indicated that she was a religious person. She said that she was a teacher in Jinan, Shandong, and rented out her house as capital for wandering. Because of insufficient funds, she often chooses to live in a fellow villager's house, instead of taking a car if she can walk. Coming to Maitreya is also to see the sacrifice of Vulcan. We saw her again the next day at the small takeoff scene. She also said that it has been more than four months since she came out this time, and she will go back to deal with some things after seeing the Vulcan sacrifice.

Some lone rangers are very wealthy. For example, we met a young man from Shandong who rode a bicycle to Lugu Lake, but chose to take a car when returning to Lijiang. There were no seats left in the car, so he sat on the ground and chatted with the people next to him. From this, I knew that he worked for a period of time, resigned after saving enough money, and went to find a job after the money was spent. The same is true for a little girl from Shaoguan, Guangdong that we met in Yuanyang. She sells clothes and quit her job to play. But she is not a rich man, so she thinks about how to evade fares all day long. We met her several times in Yuanyang, and she said that except for Duoyishu, it is difficult to evade fares, other scenic spots are entered by fare evasion. Now that the money is almost gone, I am ready to find a job. "Where do you think I should go to find a job?" she asked.

There is also a young man who I met at Lao Lei's house in Zhangye Colorful Danxia. He is definitely a strange flower. We took the bus to the scenic spot. When the bus driver heard that we were staying at Lao Lei's house, he dropped us off at an intersection. There were a few people I didn't know who got out of the car together. After we got off the bus, we all encountered difficulties. There was no way to go to the village or to the shop, and no one knew how to get there. At this time, a young man on the side of the road came slowly. He also looks white and clean, with a weak style, and the clothes he wears are too big and baggy. He asked if we were going to Lao Lei's house, and then made a phone call, and Lao Lei's car came over. Later we found out that he was actually a tourist, but he lived in Lao Lei's house for a longer time. But he really has no money, so he can only live in a tent in the yard of Lao Lei's house and use the water from Lao Lei's house. This is a young man who has been wandering around by himself for many years with a tent behind his back.

I've been out and running a lot, and I've seen a lot of strange people, and now I'm no longer used to them.
