Guest of this issue: Old Cat Xu Bingkuan

Beijing native Xu Bingkuan is an avid road trip enthusiast. As early as the end of 1980s, he started road trip in a Dongfeng truck with oil drums, and it was out of control ever since. He was a pioneer in road trip, China. 1999 After meeting Chongqing Wulong, I went to Wulong 156 times in 2 1 year. I have traveled all over Qian Shan, and I love Wulong in my heart. He is a "living map" of Wulong and lives in seclusion in Wulong every spring and autumn. Wulong is not only his second hometown, but also his spiritual home.

Q 1: Hello, Senior Brother Xu. It's my honor to invite you to "Go with an Appointment". Let's Go is a media matrix focusing on travel and self-driving. Dating is a column about travelers with stories. You are a self-driving driver with stories. Can you introduce yourself to the fans first?

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to meet everyone! My name is Xu Bingkuan, and I come from Beijing. I am 59 years old. I am an avid road trip fan. Whenever there is wine in the trunk, it is euphemistically called: "Down and out with wine."

Q2: It can be said that you are the first batch of go on road trip people in China. As early as 1980s, when cars were still a rarity, you started your career in road trip. Can you tell me something about your original go on road trip?

Because I am engaged in medical work, I can meet many friends from all over the world. 1988, made some friends in Inner Mongolia. I go to the grassland as soon as I have a holiday. The grassland I said is a little far from Beijing. It's in the chicken head of the chicken-shaped map of the motherland, Mordaoga. At that time, Moldova was the largest state-owned forest farm. There are two Toyota 4500 jeeps in the forest farm, which can run to 180 km/h on dirt roads.

There are mixed-race people in the villages on the border between China and the Soviet Union, and the locals call them "Ermaozi Village". The local famous food is "Huoxiang dog meat". Loggers work at a low temperature of MINUS 40 degrees and drive away the cold by adding Huoxiang dog meat hot pot. In autumn, jeeps and geese race in the sky. There is a heroic life of "cranes in the clear sky row clouds, attracting poems and fairies".

Once, from yakeshi to Manzhouli. We drove a big truck with petrol cans tied to the tank state, because there was no gas station on the grassland at that time. Along the way, I had enough delicious hand-grabbed meat. According to rough statistics, I have been to road trip in Inner Mongolia for more than 30 times, and I have been to Mordaoga, the farthest place, for 5 times. I majored in radiation, and I have radiation leave and teaching leave. At that time, I could be regarded as the person with the most holidays.

Q3: In the early days, you galloped on the grassland. 1999 After you came to Wulong, Chongqing, you fell in love with this land in southeast Chongqing. It is said that you visited it 150 times in 2 1 year. Why is this place so attractive to you?

1992, due to the change of work, I realized the freedom of time in my life. I have probably been to all the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and I have been to all the four ancient cities in China, among which my favorite is Langzhong, which I visited four times. West Lake and Slender West Lake were also visited four or five times. I saw the sea of clouds in Huangshan Mountain and caught up with the waterfall in Lushan Mountain. It takes more than a month to go to Tibet every time. I was surprised to find that Gannan Norguet Grassland is the most beautiful grassland in China.

From 1999, I found Wulong, and Wulong actually stopped my trip. /kloc-bought a pickup truck 0/8 years ago and put it in Wulong. I often fly to road trip. At that time, in my eyes, Wulong was a primitive, closed and beautiful place. No airport, no highway. It took more than seven hours to walk from Chongqing to Wulong for the first time, and the 3 19 national road was full of bullet holes. Looking down from the dirt road without guardrails, the rolling Wujiang River is frightening.

During 2 1 year, I came to Wulong 156 times. My activities can go to Maotai Town, Aizhai Bridge in Xiangxi and Litchi Gorge along the river in Guizhou.

In recent years, 4,000 people have been taken to play the Wulong-Southeast Chongqing route, all of which are friends circle AA system, and they don't earn a penny. It took me 2 1 year 156 times to open up an immersive self-driving travel route, which saved friendship and made many high-quality travelers.

Some people say that if you take so many people to play and you don't make a penny, what's the point? In fact, they don't understand my happiness. I took 100 people to travel, 100 people were happy, and I got 100 happiness. I am the happiest. Ouyang Xiu wrote in Zuiweng Pavilion: "People know that swimming is too defensive, but I don't know that it is too defensive." In fact, this is the joy of sharing.

Special line travelers are tour leaders, travel experts, super commentators, travelers who are familiar with local history and culture and have thoughts and feelings. They are called "living maps". Private line tour players are playing immersive go on road trip, not sightseeing in go on road trip.

Q4: Now you have become a "living map" of Wulong, a "red man" of Wulong tourism industry and an ambassador of Wulong tourism promotion. What are the scenic spots worth visiting in Wulong? Can you recommend some?

Let's just say that Wulong tourism is a world natural heritage, which is perfectly combined with the dreamy countryside of ancient Chinese villages; It is a national-level tourist resort landscape hotel and homestay, which is perfectly combined with spotless green mountains and green waters; It is a national AAAAA-level scenic spot, which is perfectly combined with the most beautiful rural roads; It is a world-class outdoor sports base and a perfect combination with Wulong Mountain Scenic Resort sports; It is an immersive global go on road travel route, which perfectly integrates simple and kind folk customs with the original ecological ingredients of the poetry wine garden.

Wulong covers an area of 290 1.3 square kilometers, 2000 meters in fairy mountain and 0/.900 meters in baimashan. There are 266 kinds of landscapes in Wulong, each of which is worth pondering.

Fairy mountain Grassland is the epitome of Norguet Grassland in Gannan, where there are the world's largest natural bridge, Longshuixia Rift Valley, Furong Cave, the only world natural heritage cave in China, and Wang Xian Cliff in baimashan.

Q5: I heard that you are not only a player, but also a gourmet. Besides the beautiful scenery, Wulong attracts you with delicious food. Can you introduce some delicious food in southeast Chongqing?

There are too many delicious foods in Wulong, and there are unique bowls of delicious mutton. I think the most delicious ones are those bowls of delicious sheep's eyes. Dried bean curd in Yang Jiao, the hometown of dried bean curd in China, chicken pot in Xianren Cave near Rhino Village, and pheasant in the cave. There are delicacies such as mushrooms in the soup pot, which is the best chicken hotpot I have ever eaten. You can taste bear's paw when you bake a cow's head on toast.

Wulong has no pollution. Wulong people grow vegetables in the environment of growing tea. People in our big cities feel that all the food in Wulong is sweet. Night barbecues abound in Wulong. In rural areas, you can eat authentic wild Wujiang fish and cultured baby fish. You can't believe the affordable price.

Q6: You said, "Wulong is not a place where a thousand people come once, but a place where one person comes a thousand times." Few people are so devoted to one place. Apart from the beautiful scenery and delicious food, what other unique places in Wulong make you linger so much?

20 14, at the round table of the 20th anniversary of Wulong tourism. As a representative of tourists, I lament that Wulong is not a place where 1000 people come once, but a place where people come 1000 times. I know that the charm of Wulong lies in a global immersive road trip route, including Wujiang Gallery from Fuling to Wulong and Wujiang Gallery from Wulong to Pengshui.

You can walk hundreds of kilometers along Wujiang Gallery. Wujiang Gallery connects Pengshui Chiyou Jiuli City, Qianjiang Zhuoshui Ancient Town, Asia's largest wind and rain covered bridge, Youyang Taohuayuan, Gongtan Ancient Town, Shen Congwen Border Town and Guizhou Litchi Gorge.

Each place has its own unique food, Tujia potato rice, the world-famous Qianjiang chicken offal, Wujiang fish and shrimp in Gongtan ancient town, and beef offal hot pot in the border cities of the three provinces. ...

Q7: It is estimated that after reading your introduction, many fans are eager to try. Can you introduce some self-driving routes in Wulong and southeast Chongqing?

Q8: You are still a person with temperament. You love traveling, reading, drinking, sharing and making like-minded friends. Can you talk about your personal understanding of traveling or going to road trip?

I admire immersive self-driving travel, pay attention to experience and sentiment, pay attention to visual shock, pay attention to historical infiltration and cultural attraction. You can't go to road trip without alcohol, but you don't drink when you drive, and you don't drive when you drink. You must remember this! Drunk pavilion is not drunk, but between mountains and rivers. The joy of mountains and rivers, the heart of gain, the wine of accommodation. Interpreted as: the meaning of drunkenness is not wine, but enjoying the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers. The pleasure of enjoying the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers is in your heart and pinned on wine. Wujiang Gallery is a Millennium Salt Road in Sichuan and Guizhou. I can tell many real and interesting historical stories.

On the trip to road trip, besides food, shelter and transportation, there are two other things that will lead to the unfavorable elimination of travelers. One is a leader who doesn't study and has no cultural background. Second, low-quality travelers. I think going to the right place with the right person in the right season is the iron law of travel.

Where language can't reach, poetry can! Where the soul can't go, wine can

Q9: There are many such talented people and many strange people in your circle. Everyone is willing to play a route to the extreme and make one thing perfect. Many people may not understand that the world is so big and there are many places they have never been to. Why do you always have to go to the same place? What do you think of this problem?

For example, "talking at night around the fire", a group of people sit around the fire, chatting while adding firewood, telling life stories and telling their true feelings. Bake some 2 cm small potatoes (Wulong specialty) or vegetables on the embers of the iron barbecue box and drink night beer. Spend the night in the farm house in Datian Village, where the rice smells good and the frogs sound. Are you tired of doing such a thing? !

After walking a hundred times, there will be a hundred different scenery, because there are a hundred times to find beauty.

The world is full of beauty and unity. Wulong ~ southeast Chongqing belongs to Wuling Mountain area, and the simple and kind folk customs are the most beautiful scenery. China tourism, the most beautiful scenery is people, and the ugliest scenery is also people.

Q 10: Thank you very much for accepting the interview with Let's Go on a Date. Fans also love to travel, drive and live. Many fans will know about Wulong through you, and you have made a wonderful sharing for Wulong. Finally, please say a few words to them

I think there are three things in life that can't be wrong. If you are wrong, you may spend your whole life paying the bill. There is a good teacher who has wisdom all his life. Have a good leader or partner, and achieve a lifetime. Have a good lover and live a happy life. The teacher I refer to is not an ordinary math and physics teacher, but a life teacher who guides himself to discover the truth of life and understand the poetry of life. Some people will say; I am my life teacher, ok! You must read, think, walk and communicate with experts. Otherwise, it is difficult for you to be a life teacher.

Immersive travel is one of the best platforms to enhance my cognition. I have a belief that I should watch less TV, read more books and recite my favorite poems. The books you have read and the roads you have traveled will be engraved in your bones, making you a unique self different from others. I travel all over Qian Shan, and I love the Five Dragons in my heart!
