Core of the trip: ① Visit three relatively small Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, and the guide will systematically sort out the history of politics and religion in Tibet and the development of Tibetan Buddhism from the 7 th to 20 th centuries. ② Search for the ancient practice caves at an altitude of 4,300 meters, observe the rare murals that retain the elements of Bon religion, and understand the deep meaning of the early Tibetan civilization, Buddhist instruments and mural symbols before the 7 th century. ③ Climb over the Sejila Pass and look at Nanga Bawa, the “Shameful Girl Peak” at an altitude of 7,782 meters. ④ Hike through…

Armenia is located in the Caucasus, and many passports are visa-free, so it has naturally become a must-stop for many travelers walking the Asia-Africa-Europe Great Ring Road. Before I set off, I always had a vague guess in my mind-although it may not be accurate. I remember watching The Fast and the Furious many years ago. The protagonist drove through a beautiful road to meet people by the seaside or lake, while the other protagonist lived in a hut by the water. In my impression, the place name flashing in the picture seems to be “Armenia”? I can’t remember which film and scene it is for a long time. I…

Should you buy souvenirs when traveling? There seems to be no unique answer to this question. In the past, when I went out, I was often attracted by all kinds of delicate small objects during the journey, and “buy in buy buy” became a subconscious impulse. But later I found that many things can actually be found online, and the prices are often more affordable than scenic shops. At this time, I inevitably feel some regrets in my heart-buying souvenirs during the journey may not only cost more money, but also have to carry them all the way back. If you are traveling with a suitcase, the burden is lighter;…

There are many cats in Turkey, which I have heard for a long time. But when I really set foot on this land, I discovered that the word “a lot” is simply not enough to describe it. At first, I saw a lot of cats in Istanbul. I thought it was because big cities were densely populated and naturally there were many stray cats. After all, it’s a tourist city, and it’s not unusual for cats to be cute. But as the trip went deeper, I realized that there are really many cats in Turkey, not in a relative sense, but in an absolute number! I also saw countless cats…

What first dazzled me in Genoa was the dozen pages of ancient sheepskin scrolls displayed on the wooden table of San Ignazio Monastery, the earliest of which dates back to the 11 th century, and is written on it with academic classics intertwined in Latin and Arabic. There are also edicts of the Ottoman Empire stamped with the coat of arms of the sultan. The other room he passed before leaving contained thousands of similar scrolls. If connected end to end, they could be up to 40 kilometers long. As one of the most important military and economic powers in the Mediterranean in the Middle Ages (rivaled only by Venice),…

At first, I thought that traveling was to escape, but finally I found that the journey was to meet my true self. Some people get lonelier and more lonely, while others get richer and richer. Travel may not change reality, but when time and space change, every moment is reshaping the way you look at the world. The real value of the journey lies not in how many places you have been to and how many magnificent scenery you have seen, but in how many moments you have experienced, what crazy little things you have done, and whether you have met a different self. Sometimes, the deepest touch comes not…
