In mid-May, I watched a documentary about Jingmai Mountain called "Traveling to the Tea Mountains" I gained a preliminary understanding of Jingmai Mountain. A few days later, I dreamed of leisurely drinking tea in a teahouse in Nuogan Ancient Village. After waking up, I was eager to go to the place in my dream. The place in the dream is not so easy to reach. It takes three and a half hours to drive from Xishuangbanna. The mountains are high and the roads are long, so we have to travel through mountains and rivers. Perhaps all secret realms are like this. Independent and self-sufficient, Don't please, don't cater to, don't try to please. The whole journey can be described in one sentence: Physiologically, This is a sleepless journey. Drinking too much tea and coffee leads to insomnia. Psychologically, This is another journey of spiritual cultivation. My soul is nourished by the ancient trees in the mountains every day. Some time ago, I saw a line from Gibran's poem, "Trees are verses written by the earth in the sky", which is so suitable for the thousands of trees in Jingmai Mountain. There are many ancient trees on Jingmai Mountain that are hundreds or even thousands of years old, each one more spectacular than the other. At some point last year, I suddenly fell in love with hugging trees for health preservation. At that time, I didn’t know the principle behind it, but I only knew that a tree absorbs the essence of the heaven, earth, sun and moon, and when people touch it, they will absorb the energy stored in it. It was not until I listened to a podcast about Chinese medicine that I suddenly realized that, among all the creatures that survive on land in this world, except for big trees, there are very few that can live over a hundred years. Sunrise and sunset, and sea of ​​clouds are the two major natural features of Jingmai Mountain. We went there at the wrong season and it rained every day, so we were unable to see the sunrise and sunset. It rained heavily on the day we went up the mountain. On the way up the mountain, I could occasionally glimpse the mist in the mountains through the dense trees on the right. I didn't stop the car in time, and at the next intersection or corner, it disappeared again. It was still raining on the day we left, and I was lucky enough to see the dreamy sea of ​​clouds. Locals say that there is a thick layer of sea of ​​clouds almost every day in winter, and that is when it is called sea of ​​clouds. So what I saw after the rain this time, I will call it mountain mist.

Before going to a country, I like to understand the administrative divisions of the country, which helps me better understand the country. Italy is divided into 20 regions, and the concept of the region can be understood as the "province" of our country. DIY itinerary Italy, this treasure country, from south to north, all-round without dead ends. The north is full of beautiful scenery due to the Alps, which is comparable to Switzerland, all kinds of "lake" light "mountain" color, centered on Ortisei, radiating to the surroundings, a total of 4 days; the Venice of the European living room Although many people are vomiting, but it is always a bit unreasonable to go to Italy without going to Venice, giving 1 day; along the east coast of the Apennine Peninsula, San Marino has naturally joined; Tuscany's rolling hills, and grape wine, It is the most enjoyable time in this trip. The 3-day time is spent on food, wine and sunshine. Finally, the Buddha City and Rome each gave 3 days, although it is not deep, but it is not a horse. Adding 1 day to Milan on the way, not counting the first and last 2 days on the road, a total of 16 days and 15 nights, from Rome. Our itinerary self-driving part enters from the northern Lombardy region, passes through the Trentino-Upper Adige region where the Dolomites are located, and the Veneto region, south along the east coast to San Marino, and then all the way west to the birthplace of the Renaissance - Tuscany The region, the self-driving part ends, and the train enters the last stop of the itinerary - the Lazio region. However, the plan has changed. Because many routes in Italy are repaired in August, a large number of trains are cancelled or late, and they are changed to buses. They are also very recommended, stable and comfortable, and the price is cheap. Italy is an old-fashioned tourist country, and the traffic is very convenient. This trip involves the Dolomites and the big rural areas of Tuscany, plus San Marino, this pocket-sized country, self-driving is more convenient and free. Italian self-driving is very unfriendly to the city. In order to protect history and the environment, the Italian city center basically has a restricted area (Zona Traffico Limitato) with the following appearance: Seeing this sign, please stay away from it. If you insist on going forward, you will be fined 50 meters later. So how can you avoid the ban as much as possible? First of all, try to avoid urban self-driving. The second part of this trip is also due to the ZTL problem. After leaving San Marino, I went to feel the rural scenery and then went to Florence to return the car. The train was transferred to Rome, which avoided the ZTL of Florence and Rome. The two cities also saved a lot of car rental costs. For small towns like Arezzo and Montepulciano, it is recommended to park the car outside the city. The small town is not big, and there is no need to go in and take risks.

If you want to recommend a summer resort for your children, I would recommend Guizhou. Guizhou is praised by National Geographic as the most attractive destination in the world and by Lonely Planet as the most worthwhile place to visit in China... Guizhou has wonderful natural scenery and diverse ethnic cultures. The magnificent natural scenery is breathtaking, and the unique karst landform creates a unique charm. The gathering of ethnic minorities such as the Miao and Dong makes this place full of charm. The long history and rich cultural heritage create a heavy tone for this land. Guizhou's food, tea culture and wine culture have also become the dream destination for countless tourists. Guizhou's climate is like spring all year round, with cool summers and warm winters. It is a place suitable for travel all year round. When I just went there, the daytime temperature was over 20 degrees Celsius every day. Even in the hot summer, it did not exceed 30 degrees Celsius. It is really suitable for bringing children. The transportation is convenient, and many places can be reached directly by high-speed rail from Guiyang. We flew directly from Qingdao, Guizhou to Guiyang in less than three hours. The attractions in Guizhou are relatively scattered, and the time spent on the road is very long, but because Guizhou is rich and wonderful, the children are full of interest in the entire trip. It is worth making a long trip. We embrace nature with the children, walk into the world of science, learn about fossils and understand the origin of species... We will definitely come many times again, and hope that the children can have more yearning and awe for the unknown wonderful world, and plant seeds in their little hearts.

Luoping, located in Qujing City, is not a popular destination, and this county town also temporarily lacks convenient high-speed rail lines for travelers to hop between destinations. However, one can take a different approach by utilizing the highway network to explore the highlights of neighboring Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture's Mile City and Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture's Qiubei County: Mile City's hot springs and farm manors not only provide relaxation and enjoyment, but also offer high photo opportunities; Qiubei County's Puzhehei integrates lake scenery and karst hills, and is especially beautiful when the lotus flowers bloom in summer, making it suitable for a relaxing day trip as well. Mile: Stroll through farm manors, soak in forest hot springs 'Eastern Bordeaux', 'Central Yunnan's Provence'... These nicknames might be a bit exaggerated, but Mile indeed has wonders waiting for you to discover. The climate is pleasant in this small lakeside city surrounded by mountains, and the forest hot springs in the city's corners make it even more livable. Dongfeng Farm to the south of the city began in the 1950s, became famous for planting wine grapes in the 1980s, and by the 1990s, local architect Luo Xu began constructing unconventional and imaginative red brick houses on the farm. Dongfeng Charm Nowadays, the Dongfeng Charm scenic area, composed of flower fields and red brick houses within the lakeside farm manor, has become popular on the internet due to short videos, turning into a 'hot internet check-in destination' in recent years on short video media. From June to September each year, the purple lavender and tailflower seas on the manor's hillside are very photogenic, and the imitation windmills among the flower fields allow you to take 'pretend to be in Holland' shots, and are also perfect for bringing picnic props for beautiful photos.
