What is real tourism?

Life is a journey. Every day, from the moment you open your eyes, everything you didn't see at first sight is what you got during your journey. It's just that you are used to it, and you are also responding to others' words. Traveling is from a place where you are tired of living to a place where others are tired of living. Now that life is rich, many people travel at home and abroad.

On the other hand, what is real tourism?

Tourism is staged. The first stage, punch in and take pictures. I just want to go anywhere and see something new. It doesn't matter if I eat or live. Just go to a few more places, which is what most people say the world is so big. I want to have a look.

The second stage is deep tourism. That is, the way of most travelers, go deep into the customs of a place, taste slowly, and feel the beauty of a region with your heart. Get together with the local children, have a cup of Hu Kan with the adults, chat with the old people and have tea, and experience the indigenous life.

The third stage, holiday travel, the complicated world can no longer make you feel exciting, you know the local customs better. You are tired of traveling, punching in and taking photos, and traveling deeply. Only a holiday trip can make you feel comfortable and happy, and feel relaxed and happy. That is, the leisure way of most rich people.

Traveling is an exciting idea for everyone. We all claim that we are traveling, and from time to time we have the idea of giving up our studies and jobs to travel. But when you are limited by heavy work and study, by the shortage of wages and spare money, how can you have a trip that you just left?

Imagine that when you use your savings accumulated in one year to prepare for a trip to Japan, you get up in the middle of the night to grab cheap air tickets, spend a lot of time worrying about whether hotels are worth booking, watching raiders, changing foreign currencies, learning languages, calling on the whole world, kicking people to make shopping lists, and maxing out credit cards. However, after all this is done, you can only see one place after another in those places described in various travel guides. Those bustling shopping resorts are crowded with Haitao people, and China people can be heard shouting every minute. The popular scenic spots recommended by the Raiders have to wait in line for an average of three hours, and those Japanese foods that seem to make people swallow their mouths only exist in other people's travel notes. At the time of booking, those cabins that looked comparable to Meiji furniture in the photos turned into small black rooms similar to capsule hotels. The only gain from traveling is probably to help relatives and friends purchase all kinds of items, or to run back and forth countless times and shop around to buy the most cost-effective things.

This is not a personal experience. The current travel situation is to get on the bus to sleep, get off the bus to take pictures, and come back without asking anything.

In short, real travel is from the heart, not seeking scenic spots, but seeking openness. Even a tree by the roadside, a flower by the roadside and even a grass can move you. Only in this way can you feel the natural state of mind, which is a small emotion you have never had before, but you expect too much and suddenly come out of it. This feeling will be unforgettable for a long time. Maybe you just want to go out, maybe you just got on the bus, or maybe you just got off the plane.

What is a real trip? It is a yearning, a feeling from the heart, from the bottom up, running through the whole body.

The point of traveling is not to tell the world that I have been here.

As Li Bai said: the rich in heaven and earth, the bright, the passers-by of a hundred generations.

First of all, the material reserves before traveling, including money and body, should be enough for the poor to get rich. Keeping healthy and traveling hard is the key. Without good legs and feet, it is a sigh to see the beautiful scenery.

Secondly, it is the spiritual reserve. I think it is very important to know the human geography of that place in detail and do your homework. I have a great desire to go, and it will bring you spiritual satisfaction after going.

Third, don't follow the trend, just go to your favorite place. It is really boring to follow the tour group.

Fourth, writing a simple diary every day can record the feelings at that time, because many emotions are fleeting.

Take my own experience as an example. In France, Normandy is the favorite of American tourists. They can feel the greatness of their motherland and mourn the heroes who died on D-Day. I read a lot of books about the Normandy landing, because I especially like World War II movies, such as The Longest Day. Full of curiosity and awe about the biggest battle in the history of World War II. So I went to France, especially to Normandy, and saw Omaha beach, vertical cliffs, and solid bunkers left by the Germans. War memorial hall, American military cemetery, etc. The tragic scene seems to be in front of me, and I can't help crying and remembering the heroes and heroes. That kind of shock can't be captured by books and movies. This kind of spiritual satisfaction is unparalleled!

I adored Madame Curie, so I went to the Pantheon to pay my respects. What I remember most clearly is that this is a man's world and she is the only woman. The feeling of admiration arises spontaneously.

For another example, visiting Hugo's former residence and Balzac's former residence, and remembering Moliere in Lachaise cemetery, let me have a deeper understanding of the works of great writers. Even when climbing the Eiffel Tower, I learned a lot about the life of the designer Eiffel, and found a statue of Mr. Eiffel under the tower. I think the tower is beautiful and charming!

Even in Switzerland with lakes and mountains, you should visit the former residence of the great scientist Einstein. In Italy, you have too much to see and too much homework to prepare. Marco Polo's former residence is a must. Just a few examples.

Many of the above places are not visited by tour groups, and few people can meet their spiritual needs well. This is also a spiritual baptism!

The same is true in Hangzhou, where there are few people, such as the tomb, Huang's former residence and Zhang Taiyan Memorial Hall. I have written a lot about Hangzhou's travel notes, so I won't go into details. Often in the mountains and rivers, I feel nostalgic and thoughtful.

To sum up, you have to do your homework to have a good time, and it will be memorable when you come back.
