In my spare time, I hold a glass of water and imagine traveling, always dreaming about: you stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs. However, the facts show that... weekend trips are too short, and there is no time to go back and forth to famous scenic spots; long holiday trips are crowded with people, and what you see is not the scenery, but the sea of ??people. Is there no "cold" scenic spots that are quiet and poetic, gorgeous but not pretentious, allowing people to relax and walk in nature?
