My Innocent Abroad of Traveling to Chinese West Province
My Innocent Abroad of Traveling to Chinese West Province
Have you ever heard of hiking deed? Or have you ever done that if you heard of it? In fact, we have read many articles or diaries about that from American history, movies, TV plays or something else. However, there are not so many articles about hiking in China. Thus, we decided to make such a record when we were in college. What we found was that there were tremendous of awesome and exciting experiences in our journey. Here I want to share with you.
The preparation and start of the journey
The great decision was made by one of my roommates and me. Thus, that was a journey of 2 persons.We planed to start from our school and walk through five provinces, and then we would arrive at our destination: the edge of the China's east Xingjian province. We have two purposes for this journey. First, we would like to perfect our life, leaving a good memory for our future life. Second, we wanted to support and promote the Olympic Games that would be hold in Beijing that year.
We first bought a tent and a sleeping bag for each one. We prepared enough bread and water for us. At the same time, we made a big decision that we will not bring any cashes and credit card except our bar phone. Our activity was well supported by our classmates and teachers. Our headmaster even saw us off when we began our journey. Our journey began on July 12, 2008.
Our frustration and enjoyment
There were frustrations and enjoyment full of our journey and we enjoyed the whole process. We met many natural beauties in each province. We take many photos to memorize this journey. There was a time that we were walking in the vast Gobi desert, yet we had neither bread nor water at the time. We were so thirsty, but we had to continue our journey because there were few persons coming through that place. The only thing we need to do was to look for water source. There was no result for half a day.
To our surprised, a car drove to us and stopped by us. The driver asked us to take his car to the next city, which was refused by us. We could not give up our purpose that walks to the east. Whereas, we asked him whether he could offer us something to drink, but he had nothing to eat and drove away.
We felt a little bit down and continued our journey in that we strongly believed that we could reach the destination through our insistence. We saw the sun going down, showing up a fantastic sight, the rainbow. What moved us later was that we saw a car drove to us again and it was the driver before. He stopped by us and opened his trunk lid, showing us a big watermelon. He took back something to eat for us. He said he appreciated our activity very much and would like to help us. He offered us many bottles of water and bread besides the big watermelon. It was really helpful. We showed our thanks again and again. He gave us a business card, asking us to visit him after we arrived at the province.
We continued our journey with hopes. Later, we had ever slept under bridges or slept by the water. We also met many good persons, who provided our rooms to live and food to eat. What's more, we also visited one of our classmates when arrived in the near west. She took us around the beautiful places. What's more, we also called that driver by using our only tool- bar phone, he was, in fact, a CEO of a company. We even visited his company again as an intern.
Finally, we arrived at our destination one month later. We reached our purposes. The whole journey deeply enriched our life, broadened our eyes. We learned that there are many good persons all over the world. And we agreed on that we will repeat the journey by car ten years later.
