There are only four people in this family, a young couple, a child, and a kind grandmother.
I cleaned up a spacious room for myself and laid out clean bedding.
The weather today is not very good, it is cloudy and rainy.
Maybe because the house is spacious, many children come to play at home. The old lady squats on a chair under the eaves and watches with a smile.
Life seems to be peaceful.
In the countryside, you can only see this peaceful scene on rainy days. After the rain, the busy life returns.
"Come and sit here, little girl. Where are you going? We're already very remote here, and it will get even more remote if we go any further."
"I also want to go all the way west to Tibet to see the famous Potala Palace and the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon. I want to see all kinds of snow-capped mountains, all kinds of glaciers, and even mountains so high that you can touch the clouds."
"Little girl, your idea is good, but it's quite remote over there, and you might get altitude sickness if you go there."
The old lady's eyes were full of longing. Although she lived not far away, she had never been there.
I have never left this place in my life. Seeing young people full of vitality and planning to go to various places, I always feel melancholy and happy. It would be nice to let these young people see the mountains and rivers that I cannot see.
The altitude sickness was almost non-existent to me, so I didn't feel anything at all. "I'm not afraid. I can handle it. I'll take some pictures. I'll pass by here on my way back, and I'll show them to you, old lady."
After going to Tibet, I want to go to Xinjiang again, travel around the country along the border cities, and then come back here.
Then he followed the line from Xin Province all the way back to his hometown in Hubei Province.
That really means traveling around the country. There is no province in the country that I have not visited.
It is estimated that it will take quite a long time. Maybe I will spend the whole year on the road, or even longer. But I am still very happy. I have no motivation in life now, so I might as well travel. Traveling is the happiest thing.
"Okay, thank you, little girl."
The next day, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up. Lin Wanwan set out on her journey, and a group of children chased her to the village entrance to see her off.
I feel like my personality has really changed a lot. I used to be impetuous and would do anything without a second thought. I never had these delicate thoughts.
Now I feel gentle and soft, and I like these children when I see them.
Of course, this is because no one is provoking him. If someone provokes him, he will still be the same Tyrannosaurus as before and shoot the person in the head if he disagrees with them.
He returned to the guesthouse where he had stayed before, drove his RV, and set off for Tibet.
There is no road yet, only a dirt path for pedestrians.
The car kicked up a cloud of dust as it drove over the road. Didn't it rain a little yesterday? Why was there still so much dust?
Not long after, I started to see cattle and sheep one after another, but I didn't see any people.
As we drove forward, we were surrounded by mountains.
It's also extremely cold.
We went directly to the Potala Palace and found a place to stay nearby.
I visited it the next day. Most of the places were closed, so I simply took some photos and walked around for a while before leaving. At that time, it had not yet become a tourist attraction.
Most places are closed and cannot be entered.
Plus, there aren't many people here, so there's actually nothing to see.
Took a photo with this huge palace at the entrance.
(I searched online for information on whether people could enter the 1960s and 1970s, but there was no answer. So I assumed that some places were accessible, but most were not.)
There are mountains behind me, and I want to go hiking.
It was just after 10 o'clock in the morning when we left the Potala Palace, so we still had the whole afternoon to spare.
We will play here today, go to the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon tomorrow, see the glacier the day after tomorrow, and go to Mount Namjagbarwa the day after that.
I felt like a special forces soldier traveling. Not too tiring, after all, there is no need to squeeze in at this time.
Plus, I have pretty good physical strength, so I don’t feel tired at all. I’m quite happy eating, drinking and having fun every day.
The only bad thing is that it's a bit cold here. I don't know if it's a psychological effect or if it really is cold enough to penetrate the bones, even though I'm wearing a hot and cold wristband.
I still feel cold to the bone.
After crossing the mountains and reaching the Potala Palace, it was already noon when we saw the snow-capped mountains behind us.
I found a place to get food from the space, and then walked up the mountain after eating.
This mountain is nothing compared to other mountains, but standing on the top of the mountain you can overlook a large area.
Li Bai and his companions probably never came here, right? Otherwise, how many more poems would they have written?
The scenery here is exceptionally magnificent, different from the beautiful and smart scenery in other places.
It exudes a mysterious and sacred feeling.
Especially in the evening, when the setting sun shines on the horizon, it seems as if divine light is shining on the earth.
There is a real sense of sacredness.
There are also many religious temples here, which add another layer of mystery.
It was already evening when we reached the top of the mountain. The scenery was magnificent, mysterious and majestic.
In particular, from here you can overlook the entire Potala Palace.
Let’s go to the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon tomorrow.
I won’t go back tonight and will just sleep here.
After it was completely dark, I slipped into the space. It was too cold outside and unbearable.
The north wind was blowing, and it was a bit scary in the lonely night.
I entered the space and got some food for myself. The things here were originally prepared by myself in Beijing, enough for me to eat for half a year, but I would add more delicious food when I encountered it along the way. Gradually, I could eat it for a year.
