A trip to the wilderness: a couple's indulgence and carnival in the wilderness

Don't go to crowded scenic spots, and don't go to online celebrities with developed business; They walked on foot only to reach the territory where human civilization has not yet set foot, and to stay away from the wild fields of daily life.

Walking in the wilderness of the ends of the earth, it is a young couple in Taiwan Province Province, a hiker who travels around the world with his feet: Yang Shitai and Dai Yiting.

They record while walking, travel through time and space with unique life experiences, feel the soothing power of the wilderness, and rebuild the emotional link with nature. Travel in the wilderness, walk together, explore the wilderness and embrace our spiritual home.

Departure: The road is calling, and nature is calling.

Travel, what is it for?

Most people will give the answer without hesitation: for the distant scenery.

In the lens and pen of Yang Shitai and Dai Yiting, whether stopping in the snowy Alps, looking up at the starry sky in Arizona in the tent lying in the camp, or strolling in the "Tianya" town on the west coast of Spain. Spread your legs and hike in the wilderness. Wilderness always brings travelers beautiful scenery and excellent environment without stint.

Different from ordinary scenic spots, flying, taking a photo, eating something delicious, making a circle of friends and ending the journey happily. Walking in the desolate wilderness seems to be an ascetic way, far more than just for the scenery. Walking in the wilderness has its own infinite charm Walking, you can feel the world outside the scenery.

So, starting again and again, hiking has become a habit and an inner need of travelers. That is the call of the road, the call of nature, and the call of your heart.

Walking: The Story of Wan Li's Trekking

Yang Shitai and Dai Yiting traveled all over the world in Wanshui Qian Shan and chose 10 tourist routes with both humanistic characteristics and adventurous spirit. They are hard-core outdoor travel guides that every poor backpacker, minority traveler, deep traveler and free traveler can't miss, and also provide a unique perspective for tourism industry practitioners.

"Zhang Zhilu" in Taiwan Province Province

This is a long-distance hiking route from north to south. Cross Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Miaoli and Taichung, and connect the ancient roads in the past, with a total distance of more than 400 kilometers. You can walk 100 kilometers, set foot on the agricultural roads, trails and country lanes that are still in use today, and deeply explore the traditional living space of Hakka people. Sing folk songs on rainy nights, but don't go out when you beat the dog. Recall the past and cherish the present, and appreciate the primitive and simple natural scenery and glorious historical years of the third line of the Taiwan Strait.

Water footprint in northern Thailand

Following the Thai Arctic Fox Walking Organization, more than 200 participants set off for an outing. Cross a 50-kilometer hiking route consisting of a path between an old agricultural road and a village, and cross the Mekong River with wide waters, a dense forest with vast mountain scenery and a spectacular "sunset". In the deserted hiking area these two days, I only heard the sounds of apes, insects and streams from the quiet valley, and everything was so lazy and comfortable. Finally, I arrived at the ancient village of Thailand's long-necked ethnic group, and suddenly I was enlightened: the old man with a serene smile, the children running freely ... there was a circular route with mountains and water.

"Rivers are the destination and source of water. The circulation of water tells everything-everyone will eventually return home. "

Iceland Highway Ruins Group

Number 32, number 54 and number 3. 1 They are all self-driving around the island. The endless gray-green tundra undulates like waves. Autumn in Iceland is extremely beautiful but the weather is bad, which means that the journey is not smooth sailing. Except for the 1 expressway with huge traffic, there are almost no street lamps on other expressways. Floods wash away roads from time to time; Feather Canyon's thriving tourism industry is also far from "nature". However, it is easy to see stars and clouds at night without street lamps, and the unknown roads are full of elusive charm: lonely and far-reaching ancient glaciers, gentle and wild aurora, and white wool sheep moving slowly on the grassland, like golden marshmallows in the sunset. The beautiful scenery here is "the kind of beauty that can't be put into the frame", which is worth people fleeing the city again and again and setting foot on the uninhabited mountains.

"Now there is a saying called sabotage. People who are full of anxiety because of the pressure in real life will look at life on a grand scale when they are in a scene where time seems to be still. "

Looking from the speeding window, the huge peaks, glaciers and fjords remain unchanged as always, as if in ruins.

There are also Scottish Highland Trail, Patagonia Plateau, American Western National Park, Andes, Spanish Road and Alps. ...

Every walk is a different encounter with nature and customs.

"We have walked through mountains, rivers, lakes and oceans, all of which will become the glory of our lives."

The beauty of surprise: the purpose of travel

Before each departure, hikers will plan the itinerary in the next few days in strict detail, such as mileage, route, camping place, midway replenishment point, luggage consignment method and so on. However, the unplanned and unrepeatable encounter is the best memory of the journey-

When Yang Shitai and Dai Yiting were hiking on the narrow road in Zhangzhang, they accidentally attended the party of Wu Luo College. It was raining in winter that night, and the specific chat content was vague. Only when the noise of erhu, guitar and karaoke stopped, a Hakka old man sang a crisp and gentle Hakka folk song-"If you like to sing folk songs, don't wait until two or three o'clock", as if telling people to do what they want and take the road they want.

In road trip, USA, they stopped at an old-fashioned laundry by Yancheng Lake for a short time, ate the food bought on the street leisurely, listened to the guests coming and going chatting softly and enthusiastically in Spanish, and waited for the dirty clothes to be washed and dried. Yang Shitai recalled in "Journey to the Wilderness": "I broke into the lives of local people. It was like a scene in a movie directed by An Erlang. It was old and boring, and it was replaced by vivid and real pictures of daily life. Only in such an ordinary scene can we feel the self-stop in the mobile journey. "

At the end of The Way in Spanish, they saw an elderly pilgrim sitting alone facing the Atlantic Ocean, holding a blank notebook, and another street performer with his back to the sea playing led zeppelin's Stairs to Heaven with an acoustic guitar. This scene makes people feel unspeakable melancholy, and it also makes people feel relieved-perhaps because the sky is high and the sea is wide, the whole European continent is behind, and there is an endless ocean in front of them. There is no way out, let them put down their stones, their worries and their ideas that they must do more.

"The greatest pleasure of traveling is to discover that new experiences of sight, taste and inner perception will make people rediscover themselves."

Looking for: heart, mind and home.

Walking, in addition to measuring the world with your feet, you should also look for the inner scale.

Walk, talk to yourself, calm your heart, and feel life and inner strength in your daily steps. Find yourself, find your spiritual home, and pursue meaning beyond everything.

Yang Shitai said in his book A Journey to the Wilderness: "Use your feet to find the answer. Humans will not build meaningless roads, and roads must lead somewhere. "

Every time they set foot on the path, they kept thinking. When they are in the depths of the wilderness, the silence and vastness of the wilderness will naturally force him to think and find; The people you meet on the journey, the lives and lives of others you feel, will also use him to examine yourself.

In the wilderness journey, they examine the details of life at a slow pace, adjust themselves in the examination, and cope with the gradually stalling world at a steady speed in ordinary daily life.

Wilderness is the home of human mind. A trip to the wilderness is the latest step to step into your heart and find your spiritual home.

A story of Wan Li's trek is also an inner journey. A Journey to the Wilderness, with its unique life experience, profoundly describes the world's top ten classic routes with both humanity and adventurous spirit. Four continents, 265,438+0 Trail, 65,438+036 photos, Patagonia Plateau, Scottish West Highlands, Andes, Spanish Road, American West Coast National Park, Alps and northern Thailand ... Looking for soothing power in the wilderness and rebuilding the connection with nature.

Yang Shitai and Dai Yiting embarked on a journey around the world together, exploring the core concepts of "wilderness aesthetics" in different ways, such as hiking, self-driving and mountaineering-mystery, freedom, places where human civilization has never set foot, wilderness journey far from daily life and spiritual home.
