"Life is a course" jasmine_ding's Profile


Don't think too much, all I need is flowers on the road. Beautiful things in the life.

Childhood

When I was a child, I lived in a small village. It was located in a mountain valley. It took 6 hours by train to the nearest city. On the way, there were so many tunnels that I thought that no one could counted all of them. But now I have no idea how many tunnels there were.
Beacause I lived in the village, I didn't have a chance to learn dancing and drawing, although Iwas natually intrested in them .
But there were some wonderful compensations. I had enough time to climb the mountains, fish in the streamlet, and listen to birds' singing. Maybe that's the reason why I love nature so much.

What should I do?

Everyone has a dream, so before they disappear, write them down. They're not always as difficult as I once imagined. So, I decided just to look forward and do it. There will be flowers on the road.

My city

There are not only the Terracotta Army, the History Museum, the Old City all and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, there are not only various snacks here in Xi'an, there are also splendid mountains around it.

Winter is not a boring season

If we pay attention to the nature, it's easy to find beautiful views, nomatter in cold winter or hot summer.
This frozen waterfall is an amazing gift of winter.

Alpine pasture

Western Sichuan is seemed as the shadow of Tibet. Most residents are Tibetan. The sky, the cloud, the pasture, the yaks are the same as Tibet's. The altitude stopped me from running across the pasture, but my heart flew toward mountains.

The first step

Make a schedule; fly to Australia. The first step approach to my dream. To see a real koala is one of fantasize of my childhood. However what I've done exceeded it. Just like this, the Great Ocean Road.

Nearist distance to the nature-Central Australia

Central Australia is attractive. If you see the bright red ground, you'll love it. It's dry and hot in the daytime. A shade is a luxury dream.
What about the night? Bush camping was unique. Laying in the swag, the only thing to do was opening my eyes and looked at the sky. I was moved to tears by numerous of stars flashing on the sky that I hadn't seen before. At the end of the Milky Way, there is famous south cross.
