Bacon once said: For young people, travel is part of education; for old people, travel is part of experience.

The reason why we study is to understand the world and to shape good values ​​and methodologies. But pure preaching is often just a castle in the air suspended above the books.


That's why I love traveling even more. Going out to see the magnificent Yellow River and Yangtze River in the books, to see the majestic mountains and lush virgin forests, to taste the sweet spring water and the new wild mushrooms.

So there was a trip to the Northwest. I wanted to travel alone, but the vastness of the Northwest made it impossible for me to start a strategy. I had to pick up the travel notes of major travel bloggers and find a private guide from a local travel company. It turned out to be the right one. Choice, my brother refused to say that if it is not brought by the locals, it is easy to take a long detour and be slaughtered. The price is about 2,000 yuan, and the accommodation and travel are all inclusive. The tour guide brother is a part-time driver, photographer, luggage carrier, and food recommender ( I feel like a tool person, where I need it), it is quite affordable, and the younger brother is also very enthusiastic, and he also talked about many local customs and customs.

I saw the pure Sanjiangyuan, the pure white blue sky pagoda, the blue lake and blue sky, the green forest? Grassland, and the colorful costume totems.

In six days, I walked through mountains and snow fields, saw the Yellow River and Yangtze River, went to the mirror of the sky, and felt the simplicity and enthusiasm. The six-day itinerary is as follows:

1??Xining--Qinghai Lake Erlang Sword-Chaka Salt Lake--Delingha/Dachaidan

2??Shuishang Yadan——Delingha City——National Highway 315U-type Internet celebrity highway——South Eight Immortals——Yadan Devil City——Dachaidan/Delingha

3?? Dachaidan - Emerald Lake - Dunhuang City

4?? Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang City - Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring - Dunhuang City

5??Dunhuang——Zhangye Colorful Danxia——Zhangye City

6??Zhangye——Qilian Grassland——Biandukou——Menyuan Rape Flower——Xining

At the end of the six-day itinerary, I saw the scenery of the northwest of the motherland that I had only seen in books and websites at the beginning. I was amazed at the ever-changing climate of the Northwest. It seemed that I had experienced four seasons in one day. , Enthusiasm, unrestrained, that is what shocks the southerners who have lived in the warm, elegant, reserved, and introverted for a long time. I have lived in the north and the south for a period of time. Riding a steed on the grassland in the northwest, shouting loudly, dancing a Tibetan dance with a Tibetan guy, and gnawing a leg of lamb on the grassland regardless of the image, no matter what troubles you have, it really disappears!

Indeed, there are no high-end and comfortable hotels, warm and comfortable climate in the south of the Yangtze River, and exquisite and high-end restaurants and bars in the Northwest, but its residences are comfortable and warm, and the meals are simple and delicious. Isn’t that what life pursues? Warm clothes, full food, peace of mind, and warm house.

Is this the simplest happiness for the people of Northwest China? It is indeed beyond the reach of many people who pursue it all their lives!

So why not come to the Northwest to find the true meaning of life!
