A trip to the plateau in the border town (1)

Who is the border town? He, a famous reporter of Shantou Metropolis Daily, is a middle-aged uncle. He can write articles and broadcast. He is sensible, caring and kind-hearted. He will shout when he sees a grievance. He once published "Time Traces" dedicated to the old town of Shantou, known as Lao Zeng.

A trip to the plateau: the first day

March 6th19,2065438.

"After this class, I will fly this afternoon, first to Chengdu, and then to the snowy plateau." I told my classmates that this is my third visit to Tibet, and Tibet is a place that many people yearn for.

A few days ago, I was invited to Longhu Experimental Middle School to give lectures to students who are going to carry out research activities in Anhui, Chongqing, Chengdu and Shanghai. I share with my classmates about reading and thinking, about traveling and writing. I told my children that if they read more, walk more, think more and write more, life will be richer and the future will be better.

"The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the closest place to the sun, vast, high, steep and mysterious." I told the students that every trip to the plateau was full of expectations. I am always full of fantasies and expectations for the upcoming trip.

Sitting in the waiting hall of Jieyang Airport in Chaoshan, a "Spring Airlines" passenger plane glided slowly in front of my eyes through the French window. Several other passenger planes on the tarmac stood there quietly like huge flying animals. Some of them are "Shanghai Airlines" and "China Southern Airlines", and some of them can't see the LOGO.

Chaoshan three cities are densely populated, but because of their special geography, they are in a corner and the traffic has been underdeveloped. Compared with other places, the airport in Chaoshan and high-speed railway station are quiet. Sitting in the spacious waiting hall, quietly looking at the scenery outside the window, or writing something on your mobile phone with your head down, feels good.

"Your flight has started boarding." A familiar and beautiful voice came from the radio. Passengers consciously lined up and boarded the plane one after another. I took the flight of Eastern Airlines, Jieyang stopped in Yichang, and then flew to Chengdu.

Fasten your seat belt, I began to close my eyes and soon went into a "coma" state. I look like a pig. I can eat and sleep. Pigs are not picky about food and location. When they are sleepy, they fall asleep. I am very similar to Brother Bajie in these two points.

I like the feeling of people on the journey. As soon as I get on the train, bus, cruise ship and plane, I seem to have started a particularly relaxed holiday mode, where I can think about everything or nothing. Eat while walking, sleep while walking, and be free from one place to another.

After about two and a half hours' flight, my flight landed slowly at Yichang Three Gorges Airport. Because it is a stopover, we need to rest here for nearly two hours, and then fly to Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport.

Yichang is a city near the Yangtze River. It belongs to Hubei and is world-famous for the Three Gorges Dam. More than ten years ago, I spent the night in Yichang. At that time, a family, old and young, took a boat trip from Chaotianmen Wharf in Chongqing to visit the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, ending their trip to Yichang.

At that time, I didn't have time to visit the majestic Three Gorges Dam, so I went straight to Wuhan by train. This time it was only a stopover and I didn't have a chance to watch the Three Gorges Project. Maybe, there will be another chance.

Travel is usually not a one-stop point-to-point arrival, but a process, sometimes it may be a long and arduous process. The meaning of travel is to experience, discover, feel and grow in the whole process. It brought me far more than natural scenery, as well as local customs, various encounters and other unexpected gains. This is the charm of travel!

One plane ticket, two flights. After a short stay in Yichang, my plane took off again and passed through the clouds in the night. "Ladies and gentlemen, our flight will land at Chengdu Shuangliu Airport at 2 1:45. Please fasten your seat belt and put away the small table board. The plane began to descend ... "The flight attendant reminded everyone to pay attention to safety by broadcasting.

It will rain in Chengdu tonight. Shuangliu airport in a slight drizzle, with blue, yellow, green and red lights, separates different runways from different parking areas. Our plane glided slowly on the runway. Through the porthole, I saw that the rain was getting smaller and smaller, and the wet ground reflected various colors of light and shadow. Those light and shadow change alternately, which is quite beautiful.

Shuangliu airport is very big, and the long corridor always seems to come to an end. Fortunately, all I have with me is a backpack and a khaki bag, which is easy and simple. If I bring too much, I will be very tired!

You should know how to do subtraction in life. One person is not as many as possible. Being willing to do and doing subtraction is the real wisdom. When traveling, some people take this and that, as if something were missing. I am a "minimalist", no matter how far I go, I will always be a backpack, a schoolbag, and throw it while walking.

From Shuangliu Airport Terminal, Didi took a taxi for 49.97 yuan and went straight to Hongxing International Apartment Building, No.69 Qingyun South Street near Chunxi Road. This is the short rent apartment I booked in Tuniu, and the price/performance ratio is acceptable. This kind of apartment hotel is quite fashionable in Shenzhen, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xi and other places. Passengers book online, and the owner sends the room password to you on WeChat, which is self-help and there is no waiter. Very convenient.

Put down your luggage, walk out of the community, eat barbecue, wonton soup and cold noodles at the roadside food stalls, and then go back to your room to drink congou.

The first day of the plateau trip passed like this.
