They put on the traditional costumes of different ethnic groups such as Yi and Dai and walked on the streets of Kunming, attracting the curious eyes of many passers-by.
"I feel like I have become a prince of an ethnic minority." Zhang Yue said jokingly as he struck some handsome poses, making Li Xiao and Huang Xu laugh.
Then, they went to the Old Town of Lijiang, a place listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. The ancient city's stone roads, simple buildings and clear streams all left a deep impression on them.
"The architectural style here is very unique, and every house is like a work of art." Huang Xu said with admiration.
Li Xiao was attracted by the slow life in the ancient city. They sat down in a small teahouse, tasted the local Pu'er tea, listened to the Naxi ancient music playing next to them, and felt the leisure and tranquility of the ancient city.
"This kind of life is so comfortable, I don't want to leave." Zhang Yue said with emotion.
In Lijiang, they also experienced the local Naxi culture, visited the Dongba Culture Museum, and learned about the writing and traditions of the Naxi people.
"The writing of the Naxi people is really unique. Every character is like a painting." Li Xiao became very interested in the Dongba script of the Naxi people.
Huang Xu is very interested in the folk songs and dances of the Naxi people. He even learned a few simple dance steps from the locals.
During their trip to Yunnan, they also went to Dali, visited Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain, and experienced the natural beauty and Bai culture there. They rode along the Erhai Lake, enjoying the sea breeze and the warmth of the sun.
"The scenery here is so beautiful, I don't want to leave." Zhang Yue said with emotion as he looked at the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake.
Li Xiao and Huang Xu also felt the same. They left many beautiful memories at the Erhai Lake.
As the journey ended, they reluctantly left Yunnan, but they knew that this was only part of their journey, and there were more beautiful scenery and stories waiting for them to explore.
"Where are you going next?" Zhang Yue asked excitedly.
Li Xiao smiled and pointed to another place on the map: "Let's go to XZ and explore the mysterious culture and magnificent natural scenery there."
Huang Xu nodded in agreement, and the three of them embarked on a new journey, filled with expectations and excitement.
The journey of Li Xiao and his friends continues, and they will experience different cultures and natural scenery in XZ.
As the journey of Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Huang Xu continues, they embark on the road to XZ, ready to explore this mysterious and holy land.
The sky in XZ was exceptionally blue, and the clouds seemed within reach. The three of them took the train through the rolling mountains, passed the magnificent plateau, and finally arrived at LS.
"The sky here is so beautiful, I feel like my soul has been purified." Zhang Yue sighed, looking up at the boundless blue sky.
Li Xiao was deeply attracted by the Potala Palace in front of him. This magnificent palace located on the Red Mountain is a holy place of Tibetan Buddhism and a symbol of XZ.
"The Potala Palace is not just a palace, it carries the history and culture of XZ." Huang Xu explained, his eyes full of respect.
They walked around the Potala Palace and felt the majesty and mystery of the palace. The murals, Buddha statues and scriptures in the palace gave them a deeper understanding of Tibetan Buddhism.
"These murals are so exquisite. Every stroke and every painting reveals the wisdom of the ancients." Li Xiao admired, his eyes lingering on the murals.
Zhang Yue was particularly interested in the prayer wheels in the palace. He gently turned each prayer wheel and listened to the low sound of the prayer wheels turning, feeling a sense of tranquility in his heart.
"By turning the prayer wheel, you are reciting scriptures and praying for peace and good luck." Huang Xu explained to Zhang Yue.
During the XZ days, they also went to the Jokhang Temple, which is one of the centers of Tibetan Buddhism and a holy place in the hearts of pilgrims.
"Look at those pilgrims, they come here from far away just to kowtow in front of the Jokhang Temple." Li Xiao said with emotion, he was moved by the piety of these believers.
Zhang Yue and Huang Xu were also shocked by the scene in front of them. They stood quietly and felt the power of this belief.
In addition to exploring culture and religion, they also experienced the natural scenery of XZ. They drove to Namtso, a place known as the "Sky Lake".
"The lake water here is so clear, like a huge sapphire." Zhang Yue marveled, squatting down and gently touching the lake water.
Li Xiao and Huang Xu were also attracted by the beautiful scenery of Namtso. They sat by the lake, quietly admiring the scenery of the lake and mountains, and feeling the tranquility and harmony of nature.
During XZ's journey, they also tasted local specialties such as butter tea, highland barley wine and yak jerky, and each food left a deep impression on them.
As the journey ended, they reluctantly left XZ, but they knew that this was only part of their journey, and there were more beautiful scenery and stories waiting for them to explore.
"Where are you going next?" Zhang Yue asked excitedly.
Li Xiao smiled and pointed to another place on the map: "Let's go to XJ and explore the exotic customs and magnificent natural landscape there."
Huang Xu nodded in agreement, and the three of them embarked on a new journey, filled with expectations and excitement.
The journey of Li Xiao and his friends continues, and they will experience different cultures and natural scenery in XJ.
Following the travel footsteps of Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Huang Xu, they came to XJ, a place famous for its vast territory, rich national culture and magnificent natural landscape.

On the morning of XJ, the sun shone on the vast grassland, and the Tianshan Mountains in the distance were majestic. The three of them drove to Tianshan Tianchi, which is a famous tourist attraction in XJ.
"The scenery here is so beautiful, like a fairyland on earth." Zhang Yue praised, he was attracted by the blue water of Tianchi and the surrounding snow-capped mountains.
Li Xiao was very interested in the legend of Tianchi. He told Zhang Yue and Huang Xu the mythical stories about Tianchi: "It is said that this is the Yaochi of the Queen Mother, and there are many beautiful legends."
Huang Xu was attracted by the surrounding vegetation. He pointed to the tall and tall snow-capped spruce trees and said: "It is really a miracle of life that these trees grow in such a harsh environment."
They walked along the shore of Tianchi, feeling the fresh air and peaceful atmosphere. The lake was crystal clear, and the snow-capped mountains were reflected on the lake, forming a beautiful picture.
Then, they went to Kanas, a place known as the "Pure Land on Earth". The mystery of Kanas Lake, the tranquility of Moon Bay, and the magnificence of Shenxian Bay all left a deep impression on them.
"The color of the water in Kanas Lake is really amazing. The colors are different when viewed from different angles." Zhang Yue sighed as he recorded every beautiful moment with his camera.
Li Xiao and Huang Xu were also shocked by the beautiful scenery of Kanas. They took a cruise on the lake and enjoyed the surrounding natural scenery.
During XJ's journey, they also experienced the local ethnic culture. They attended a Kazakh wedding, tasted Kazakh traditional food, and watched wonderful ethnic dances.
"The ethnic customs here are so unique. Each ethnic group has its own unique culture and traditions." Li Xiao said with emotion.
Zhang Yue and Huang Xu also developed a strong interest in XJ's national culture. They learned some simple Kazakh language, communicated with local residents, and felt the different cultural atmosphere.
In addition to the natural scenery and national culture, XJ's food also left a deep impression on them. Large plate of chicken, roast mutton, hand-picked rice, pulled strips... Every kind of food made them full of praise.
As the journey ended, they reluctantly left XJ, but they knew that this was only part of their journey, and there were more beautiful scenery and stories waiting for them to explore.
"Where are you going next?" Zhang Yue asked excitedly.
Li Xiao smiled and pointed to another place on the map: "Let's go to Hainan and enjoy the sunshine, beaches and waves there."
Huang Xu nodded in agreement, and the three of them embarked on a new journey, filled with expectations and excitement.
The journey of Li Xiao and his friends continues. They will experience the leisurely life of the island and the tropical scenery in Hainan.
As the journey of Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Huang Xu continued, they came to Hainan Island, a resort famous for its tropical scenery, sunny beaches and rich marine resources.

The sea breeze in Hainan carries a salty smell, and the sunshine is warm and bright. The three of them arrived in Sanya and decided to experience the beaches here first.
"The beach here is so soft and the sea water is so clear!" Zhang Yue took off her shoes excitedly and ran barefoot on the beach, feeling the touch of fine sand sliding between her toes.
Li Xiao took out the surfboard he had brought with him. He had always wanted to try surfing, and the waves in Hainan are a paradise for surfers.
"Do you want to come together?" Li Xiao turned around and asked Zhang Yue and Huang Xu. They were both hesitant about surfing, but they were still infected by Li Xiao's enthusiasm and decided to give it a try.
Huang Xu is more interested in marine ecology. He looks for shells and corals on the beach, and occasionally sees small crabs quickly crossing the beach.
"Look, there is a little starfish here!" Huang Xu pointed to a starfish washed ashore by the waves in surprise, and he carefully put it back into the sea.
After having fun on the beach, they decided to taste Hainan’s special delicacies. Hainanese chicken rice, coconut rice, Qing Bu Liang...everything made them gorge themselves.
"This coconut rice is so fragrant, I can eat three bowls!" Zhang Yue praised while eating. He was completely conquered by this unique flavor.
Li Xiao and Huang Xu were also full of praise for these delicacies, and they decided to go to the night market in the evening to continue exploring more authentic snacks.
As night falls, Hainan's night market is brightly lit and bustling. They shuttle between various stalls, tasting various seafood barbecues and tropical fruits.
"The seafood here is so fresh, and there are many ways to prepare it." Li Xiao was full of praise for the grilled fish and shrimp at the night market.
Zhang Yue and Huang Xu were also deeply impressed by the lively atmosphere and rich food at the night market, and they enjoyed every wonderful moment during the trip.
During their stay in Hainan, they also went to the tropical rainforest and explored the natural wonders there. The tall palm trees, exotic tropical plants and lively wild animals all made them full of curiosity and awe of this land.
"The ecological environment here is so rich. We should cherish and protect our earth more." Huang Xu said with emotion.
Li Xiao and Zhang Yue also felt the same way. They decided to participate more in environmental protection activities after their trip and do their part to protect the environment.
As the journey ended, they reluctantly left Hainan, but they knew that this was only part of their journey, and there were more beautiful scenery and stories waiting for them to explore.
"Where are you going next?" Zhang Yue asked excitedly.
Li Xiao smiled and pointed to another place on the map: "Let's go to Inner Mongolia to experience the grassland culture and magnificent natural scenery there."
Huang Xu nodded in agreement, and the three of them embarked on a new journey, filled with expectations and excitement.

The journey of Li Xiao and his friends continues. They will experience the vastness of the grasslands and the unique charm of nomadic culture in Inner Mongolia.
As Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Huang Xu's journey continues, they arrive in Inner Mongolia, a place famous for its vast grasslands, blue skies and free-spirited nomadic culture.

The grasslands of Inner Mongolia glowed with golden luster under the sunlight, and the sheep in the distance were scattered like pearls on the green carpet. The three of them stood on the grassland, feeling the breeze blowing on their faces, and their minds suddenly opened up.
"The air here is so fresh, I feel relaxed." Zhang Yue took a deep breath, his eyes showing his love for this land.
Li Xiao was attracted by the horses on the grassland. He had always been eager to experience the feeling of riding a horse. "Let's go horseback riding!" he suggested.
Huang Xu nodded in agreement, and they found a local herdsman and rented a few horses. Under the guidance of the herdsmen, they awkwardly climbed on the horses and started riding on the grassland.
"It's so exciting to ride a horse. I feel like a real herdsman!" Zhang Yue shouted excitedly. Although he was a little nervous at first, he quickly adapted to the rhythm on the horse.
Li Xiao and Huang Xu were also immersed in the fun of horseback riding. They galloped on the grassland and felt the free and unrestrained atmosphere.
After the ride, they participated in a traditional Mongolian event - the Naadam Festival. Naadam is a traditional Mongolian festival that includes horse racing, wrestling and archery.
