Graduation Trip to Jiuzhaizhongcha
Graduation is coming soon, so I planned a graduation trip with my classmates to commemorate it. Because of the special circumstances this year, I thought it would be better not to go too far. My classmates and I searched online for a few days, looking for some lesser-known places to visit. Then my classmate said, 'Let's go to Jiuzhaigou.' I said, 'Didn't we say we wanted a less crowded place? Jiuzhaigou is so popular that even 119 can't put out the fire, right?' She replied, 'Let me finish. We are going to Jiuzhaigou, but specifically to Jiuzhaizhongcha.' Then she showed me photos, and I was truly amazed. But I worried it might be photo trickery, so I hesitated about whether to go. In the end, after my classmate's persistent persuasion, we packed our bags and set off on the journey to Jiuzhaizhongcha.
The moment I set foot on the land of Zhongcha, I felt possessed by Li Jiaqi... 'Oh my god, it's so beautiful!' Colorful forests, endless grasslands, with cattle, sheep, and horses grazing peacefully. Various Tibetan villages scattered on the terraced fields, with wisps of cooking smoke rising. Every shot I took was a high-definition masterpiece. So the photos online were not fake after all 23333333.
This trip to Zhongcha not only left me in awe of the stunning natural environment and landscape, but also captivated me with the primitive villages. They preserve the simplest folk customs, living a self-sufficient, idyllic life in ancient Tibetan buildings. What impressed me most was the Boriegu ancient village on the terraced fields. Because it is on terraces, farming is the main method of cultivation here. Although it lacks the wildness of Tibetan herders, it embodies a sense of tranquility and peace. Generations of Tibetans have grown barley, wheat, and other crops here, and raised cattle and horses. Here, there is also a special natural plant—wild cotton. It grows tenaciously but looks very elegant, swaying on the terraced fields of Boriegu, adding a beautiful landscape to the area. It silently witnesses the pastoral life of the Tibetans.
At night, lying on the hotel bed, I silently recalled the past few days. Relaxed, free, carefree. I thought that in the future, I would rarely have the chance to enjoy such a life again, and I felt a bit sad... I am about to say goodbye to my student identity and officially step into society. But I also told myself that even if work gets busy, I must set aside time to relax. After all, having experienced countless mountains and rivers, I still feel that life is worth it~
