What is the meaning of travel?

After years of moving from place to place on and off, it's hard to define what travel means. Because the power of walking has an indescribable magic for different people at different times. Some people are like a prisoner bird in concrete. Travel is a kind of release for him. Some man is a trapped beast in the gray swamp of emotion, for whom travel is an escape. And travel to me is the return, to the insects and birds, to the stars and dust, to the friendship with people. When you first arrive at a place, don't rush to pick up the camera and press the shutter. If you just want to show off in moments to satisfy your vanity, then the photos taken by professional photographers on Baidu may be better. But to feel the purity of the landscape, to get to know more people with similar smells, to listen to their different life experiences, this is really their own story ah. I was moved in silence during my wonderful journey: Pingjiang Road, Suzhou, the grandfather who has been singing Peking Opera for decades. Chengdu, the lovely and gentlemanly keyboard player in Uklan. Lijiang, looks a bit ruffian but very nice innkeeper, and singing loud folk songs Naxi old man. Qionglai Pingle ancient town, the old pottery master who taught me hand in hand. Good luck and they can have a hades in the meeting, listen to them tell those rare stories. This is probably the most exciting part of the journey. I was moved in silence during my wonderful journey: Pingjiang Road, Suzhou, the grandfather who has been singing Peking Opera for decades.

This is probably the most exciting part of the journey. Unfamiliar places actually have their own flavor. I often avoid streets dressed in rainbow clothes and prefer to drill small alleys to feel the most simple atmosphere of a city, the smell of firewood, rice, oil and salt. Oddly enough, the people you meet in ordinary alleys are the ones with good stories. The itinerary in the road also does not have to be too compact, if every place to the provisions of their own in a few days to play all over the city's attractions, but lost the original intention of travel, is just a glance, follow the best move. Go out time also need not be confined to the opening time of scenic spots, follow the crowd to see is often a sea of people. In Lijiang, for example, the old town is very different from midnight at 5 or 6 am. At five o 'clock in the morning, when many shops are still open and tourists are few and far between, it's nice to walk through the streets alone. In the middle of the night, it was a crowd again. Quiet and bustling but change in a day and night, slowly to explore, will find unusual beauty. The meaning of travel is to escape but also to find. It is we who return to the distance like migratory birds, with awe for nature and desire for humanity.

Whether you're with someone or alone, whether you're looking at a sunset or a mountain, that's what makes up your life, not the life of anyone else. Just as there is no identical leaf in the world, there is no identical journey in the world. Each journey may have a familiar beginning, but it has a different ending. These things make up you, your flesh-and-blood, soulful self. And if that doesn't constitute the most precious thing in your life. So what else? This may be the meaning of travel for me.
