20 17 1 1 month,

We started a plan to travel around the world.

The first leg of the journey

It took us eight months.

I traveled to 15 countries.

Singapore, Australia, East Timor, Indonesia, Brunei, Philippines, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand,

Myanmar, Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia

20 19,

This is the second year of our trip around the world.

This time,

We drive a, 60 thousand yuan domestic car,

Starting from Erenhot, Inner Mongolia, it took 5 months.

Went to 1 1 countries.

In order: outer Mongolia, Russia, Georgia, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan,

Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan

We like the beautiful Caucasus mountains.

Through the formidable Wakhan corridor.

Driving on high-altitude Pamirs highway.

But also ran to the easternmost end of the Qing territory, Penchi River.

Before departure, the journey was 100 km, and the new car was only 200 km.

When I came back, I had already driven kilometers, and there were 50 thousand kilometers of old cars.

And Zhu Hui,

I also grew from a novice to an old driver.

In fact, this trip,

Not in our plan,

Just a lot of accidents and coincidences,

Let's embark on this unexpected journey!

June 20 19

We drove to Shenyang.

Apply for an American visa

I'm going to go on road trip, USA.

But unfortunately it was rejected ~

In desperation, we got visas for Russia and Mongolia.

Unexpectedly, they all passed!

That's it, we're leaving!

Entering Mongolia from Erenhot, people passed very smoothly.

But the car, anyway, is not stamped with the customs seal.

Why?

Because vehicles from go on road trip enter Mongolia, it is necessary to report to the tour group.

Driving for free is no good!

ATA documentary books are useless!

OK ~

Were we stillborn before our autopilot started? !

The mood at that time can be described as falling to the bottom.

Just as we were about to turn around and go home,

I don't know where, a policewoman appeared.

After reading our visas,

Life and death will drive us to Mongolia.

Meng Ying said in her broken English, "No, no, we want to go back to China ~"

And this Mongolian policewoman is a great god.

While patting our car, he urged loudly: "Go, go, Mongolia! Go! "

It was really a face at that time ~

All right, you say go, and we'll go!

That's it,

We accidentally drove into Mongolia illegally.

Then it entered Russia from Mongolia, three Caucasus countries (Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan).

When we were traveling in Turkey, it happened, and it happened ~

Iranian visa-free for China!

So he re-entered Iran.

After that, he returned to China from four Central Asian countries (Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan).

In this way, because of a series of accidents and coincidences.

In 20 19, we completed a Silk Road go on road trip.

In fact, this journey really touched us deeply.

We can almost meet foreigners who can speak some Chinese along the way.

In Russia, we met a little Russian brother who taught himself Chinese and was fascinated by China's tea.

In Georgia, we met a handsome Georgian guy who has lived in China for 8 years.

In Iran, we also met an Iranian brother who was doing business in Yiwu, Zhejiang.

And he has a very beautiful girlfriend in China!

These people have more or less business ties with China.

Some of them are crazy about China culture.

Some people admire the development of China.

This also makes us deeply feel that,

The influence of China's reform, opening up and economic development in the past 40 years.

At the same time, this journey also made us reflect a lot.

In Russia, an aunt gave up her apartment to receive us.

In Iran, we were taken home by local people many times and received as distinguished guests.

In Mongolia, we often see them camping outdoors with their children.

each country

The spirit of hospitality,

And the emphasis on family,

Love of nature,

Let's have a great contact.

We have always felt that we are really lucky to be in this era.

No famine, no war.

Follow the dividend of national development and move forward together.

Everyone can choose their own way of life through their own efforts.

But sometimes, we are also very anxious.

I always feel that when we want to catch something, we lose something else.

Dreams and reality,

Material and spiritual,

Always can't find the right balance.

But anyway,

For us, we still have to thank this era.

After all, in 2008,

We traveled around China on a broken bicycle.

I really never thought about it,

One day, we will travel around the world.

Because, at that time,

For people like us who were born at the grassroots level,

Traveling abroad is simply something you can't even think about!

The unexpected trip of 20 19 brought us many feelings and touches.

Know every country!

In 2020, we will continue to sail and explore this unknown world.

In this best era, we should firmly grasp our own destiny, strengthen the path we choose and pursue the meaning of life.

Strange trip, on the road, exploring the world!
