The road that Big Ice took me through

There are really people in this world who live the life you want, who can work nine to five and travel around the world. Wandering around the world, everyone who has read Jin Yong Gu Long's novels has longed for that kind of life. How happy it is for a prodigal to wander around the world. Now, it has turned into such a sentence, the world is so big, I want to see it. So, why do you have the urge to appreciate the world? Or does the word travel itself have a certain charm? All I know is that I am a backpacker.

I have read four books by Da Bing and experienced four places, including Lhasa, the city of sunshine, Lijiang, a quaint town, Hoh Xil, a death zone, and Antarctica, a place of ice and snow. Each of them is full of longing. Although these places are not as prosperous as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, nor are they as beautiful as Sanya, Hainan, they are stationed in our hearts with their unique charm.

As for Lhasa, some people say that it is the place closest to heaven, and some people say that the most devout faith will be seen there. I feel that in the place closest to heaven, many of your wishes will come true.

When it comes to Lhasa, the Jokhang Temple is familiar. Here you can see Tibetans coming to worship with their hands clasped together. They repeated the action, moving in one direction, lying down, standing up, and continuing to lie down and stand up. If you look carefully, you will find that their eyes are so pure, and they look so noble because of their firm faith. Piety is enough to move you and me. At this time, you dare not make a loud noise, and you forget some of the darkness in society. While being shocked, you pray silently. At this moment, the sky is blue, the clouds are white, and the human heart is pure.

Maybe you know many rivers, but have you heard of the Lhasa River? The mother river of Lhasa. The beauty of the Lhasa River lies in its greenery and tranquility, just like the round and light green jade bracelet in the hand of a noble lady. It not only reflects the beauty of Lhasa, but also does not take away from the limelight of the ancient city. Being close to a river like this, you will feel like there is less distracting thoughts in your mind. If you come one day, be sure to bring two bottles of Lhasa beer. On a clear night, under the starry sky, while drinking, throw your thoughts into the river one by one.

Maybe you know the Potala Palace, but have you heard of Pabangka Palace? It is worth mentioning that this is the birthplace of Tibetan. Among the Chinese Sino-Tibetan languages, Tibetan has the longest history after Chinese. It has been preserved in the torrent of history and is still blooming with brilliant colors. Therefore, when you are in Pabangka Palace, you begin to feel a sense of awe. The weight of history makes you instantly feel your personal insignificance.

Maybe you know a lot of operas. Have you heard of Tibetan operas? Wearing masks as facial makeup for actors is a major feature of Tibetan opera. There are many schools of Tibetan opera, including the old school with white masks and the new school with blue masks. I know that most young people don't like to listen to operas, but when you come to Lhasa, the gorgeous costumes and colorful faces of Tibetan opera actors will immediately catch your eye, and the unique performance form will also meet all your expectations.

In Lhasa, you will think of the two labels folk and backpacker. This is the perception given to me by Da Bing. I believe this is also the perception of many people. Otherwise, how could there be so many people riding bicycles? How about the car to Lhasa? Are you attracted by the holy land of Lhasa?

Lijiang, the starting point and end point of travel. Some people, after coming to Lijiang and feeling the simplicity of Sifang Street and the purity of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, fall in love with traveling and become travelers who are always on the road. Some people come to Lijiang and are overwhelmed by the strong commercial atmosphere and lose interest in traveling. Naturally, we belong to the former group. With our curiosity about the world, we couldn't help but ignore the so-called commercial flavor and were impressed by the leisure and comfort of Lijiang.

When talking about Lijiang, two words come to mind: lazy. Everything here is slow, the flowing river is slow, the swimming fish are slow, and the footsteps of pedestrians are slow. Here, you will forget the complexity of the world and blend into this small town naturally. You start to pay attention to the little things that you wouldn't notice on a daily basis. You may hold an umbrella and walk on the bluestone road, listening to the sound of raindrops, and occasionally smelling the fragrance of flowers. Time seems to have stopped.

?If you want quietness, choose morning in Lijiang. Go out for a walk at five or six o'clock in the morning. People are still sleeping soundly at that time, and there are very few pedestrians on the road. You can enjoy this small town alone. At that time, the small town only belongs to you. You may think of Dai Wangshu's "Rain" Lane", longing to meet a lilac-like girl. At that time, all paperwork will be forgotten, all the entanglements will suddenly become clear, and the beauty of this world will become within reach.

If you want to indulge, choose a lively bar, sit down, chat with strangers in the weird glitz, and sing to the guests of another bar across the river. All you need to prepare is A temporarily blank brain, and an unruly feeling that temporarily forgets everything.

The ancient city of Lijiang has long kneaded into its bones and blood the heart-breaking love sacrifices and walk-in marriages of the Naxi people who live here. Those stone roads, running water, inns, and Dongba characters, accompanied by the favor of the snow-capped mountains on the plateau and the sunshine in the south of the colorful clouds, every breeze blowing by is a kind of narrative, telling the tragedy, determination and sublimity of a nation's love. .

Dabing’s hut is in Lijiang. The bar has a simple door and a common name.

Do you want to go in and have a cup of romance, turn off your phone, sit on the ground, sing loudly together, lament the wasted years and the changes in the world, and then drink away all the struggles. You will not be afraid of suffering for the rest of your life. The story you shared about Lijiang Town may be touching or indignant. In short, Lijiang has stories and wine. Do you want to follow it?

"Who said there are no bonfires in the Pacific, and who said there is no sea in Hoh Xil?" Da Bing's folk song opened my mind. We know most of the cities with seas, but what about Hoh Xil? In fact, in my later impression, Hoh Xil was just a sandbank. It can be described as vast.

Hoh Xil is not a tourist destination, but it is a very interesting place for challengers. After all, this is known as the most mysterious "death zone". In this harsh environment and extremely high altitude, you may feel dizzy and scared, but it is this feeling that makes you understand the meaning of life better.

Just like those deserts without oasis, Hoh Xil has its unique charm. A mysterious place, a pure land in the world. Legend has it that a beautiful girl did not want to be disturbed by the world and lived here quietly. The Hoh Xil uninhabited land is 600,000 kilometers long. You can drive a jeep and play prairie pastoral songs and gallop through the vast sand dunes. A broad vision will always open the heart, and Hoh Xil will satisfy your dreams.

If you have watched the documentary "Kekexili", you will know that there is a group of elves living here. They are like beating notes on the sandbank, adding a touch of rhythm to the silent Hohexil. These little elves are Tibetan antelopes. When you come to Hoh Xil, you can witness with your own eyes their dexterity and the beautiful arcs when they jump, which is the dance of life. You can see a lot of wild animals in Hoh Xil. They are not as dull as the animals in the zoo. Nature has given them the ability to retain their essence. The vivid lives are unfolding before your eyes.

The starry sky in Hoh Xil is extremely beautiful, and the Milky Way looks like a real Milky Way, but you can’t stay too long because the arrival of wild animals may disturb you. You know you can't be with them. The starry sky is boundless and the sandy land is vast. Who are you at this time? You are like one of the stars or a speck of dust.

Do you have the courage to challenge life? Do you want to feel the power of life? Hoh Xil helps you realize your dream, it is worth all your determination to experience.

People always have to go to Antarctica once in their lives. Even if I can't go now, I still have to put it in my life plan list, huh.

Regarding Antarctica, I think many people are full of fantasies about this last piece of pure land on earth. It is like a dream, a dream that is very far away from us. In the dream, there is extreme cold weather, romance like ice and snow, and cuteness like penguins. It easily captured the hearts of passers-by with a rare perfection in the world, and deeply engraved this blue dream in the lives of every passer-by.

South of Antarctica is a dream. Very few people can endure this kind of physical torture, so most people always dare to think but dare not do it. However, people should always do something to challenge themselves in this life, right?

Antarctica is not only the ultimate geographical location, but also the ultimate in beautiful scenery in the world. I have always thought that many of the most beautiful scenery in the world have a looming dreamy feel. In Antarctica, when you enter Paradise Bay, the snow-capped mountains, glaciers, and sky are all reflected in the cold water. For a moment, you can no longer tell what is reality and what is illusion.

An extremely interesting activity in Antarctica is to cruise in Antarctic waters on a yacht. Breaking out of the ice on a yacht, the ice floes slide over you, and the glacier unfolds before your eyes, as if you are in a dream that seems like another world away. In the dream, there was no commotion and noise, only the cold water, lonely and beautiful. The eyes are full of ice of different shapes, they are more like a blue dream, sleeping for thousands of years, just waiting for you to wake up.

In Antarctica, you can experience the beauty of life's challenges, such as Antarctic camping and Antarctic diving. Use a shovel to dig a hole, and then use the dug up ice to build a small wall around the hole. When everything is done, get into your sleeping bag and lie down on the ice and snow, surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Seals and penguins sleep beside you. There is no tent and the sky is your cover. There is only one word for diving in Antarctica, it’s great. The moment you enter the water, your mind will go blank and you will only feel cold. When you swim back to shore, you find that you have completed another challenge that you will never forget in your life.

In 2016, Dabing published a new book "Okay, okay". He said that he would write the warmest story in the coldest place. This sentence must have attracted many young people to have the dream of going to Antarctica, including me. What about you? Are you willing to endure physical suffering and achieve spiritual satisfaction? Antarctica is waiting for you.

Dabing let me know these four places, and I let you know them. It’s easier to think than to do. Come on a journey that you can just leave. The future is still long and you are still young. There is no shortage of beauty in this world. When you are shocked by the power of nature, you will find that the things that once made you heartbroken seem so small. Go for a walk when you are having trouble thinking about something, go for a walk when you are stuck at home and have nothing to do, go for a walk when you feel happy and relaxed.
