The Great Northwest | The most beautiful scenery is always on the road.

Finally, we arrived at the Northwest, the land of geography textbooks! The brave ones get to enjoy the world first! We traversed the winds of Riyue Mountain, embraced the blue of Qinghai Lake, and encountered the "Mirror of the Sky" at Chaka Salt Lake, where heaven and earth merged into one, blurring the lines between clouds and shadows. We crossed the vast wilderness of Hoh Xil, watching Tibetan antelopes run with the wind, feeling the desolation and purity of the uninhabited area; we touched the sands of Mingsha Mountain, watched Crescent Lake reflect the moon over Dunhuang, and witnessed the gentle tranquility of the desert for millennia. The Rainbow Mountains are nature's palette, a breathtaking tapestry of reds, oranges, yellows, and greens; the Qilian Mountains stretch across the sky, becoming the most unforgettable scenery on our return journey. This Northwest trip has deeply imprinted freedom and grandeur, gentleness and vastness, into our hearts.
