Thank you for the question.
I can only express my thoughts on behalf of all senior tourists.
Because we are older, we like to travel in groups with people of the same age group when we travel.
The music I like to listen to when traveling are old songs and red songs.
Today's songs contain more love themes and are not suitable for the elderly to sing.
I like to listen to some local songs.
For example, when we went to Guilin, Sister Liu’s songs were so beautiful.
Listening to the music, I can't help but be connected with the local scenery.
A song like "Jiangnan Song" brings people into the beautiful water town of Jiangnan.
For modern songs, I like to listen to Jiangyang Dolma’s songs.
With her high-pitched singing voice, the beautiful picture of the prairie where "the wind blows the grass and makes the cattle and sheep low" appears before our eyes.
The love songs sung by those singers are only suitable for young people.
It is recommended that tour guides should choose songs based on age groups.
Everyone has their own preferences for radishes and vegetables. Friends: Am I right? Of course, I want to hear songs that fit the occasion. When I’m traveling, what I most want to hear is a song that is highly relevant to the destination I’m traveling to.
Travel experience includes cultural and spiritual aspects. Everywhere I go, I will learn about the local culture in advance, read books related to the destination, watch related movies, and listen to related songs.
I listened to "Bring My Love to Xinjiang" all the way to Xinjiang. When I arrived in Turpan, I sat under a thousand-year-old grape trellis, tasting mare's milk grapes, and listened to the familiar "Turpan's Grapes Are Ripe". I was immersed in the scene.
I understand the songs better.
Walking on the Tamil streets, lingering in front of shop stalls, and listening to the Nepali song "Desham Firiri", I felt a strong sense of exotic customs.
All these are not enough.
The songs you like to listen to, along with your travel experiences and feelings, will also be shared with your friends.
Thanks for your question!
Let me go back to the past!
Reminds me of a wonderful travel memory.
I think of that trip in 2015. The joyous songs and laughter during the trip still linger in my ears when I think about it. I seem to have returned to the past, that early summer season in May.
That day happened to be Mother's Day on May 12, and our store chartered a car to travel to Baligou, Xinxiang.
On the tourist bus to Baligou, I sat by the window and silently said to myself, "Don't get carsick! Don't get carsick!".
Maybe it was because the express bus didn’t stop all the way, but I didn’t get motion sick!
Wear headphones and listen to music while traveling.
I happily put on my headphones and listened to the music.
I remember clearly that when the car was driving on the Yellow River Bridge, I was listening to Carpenter's song "Yesterday Once More" (Yesterday Once More).
Looking out the car window at the white cable-stayed bridge rods flying past my eyes, I felt like I was in a movie scene.
Does listening to music and seeing the scenery produce this wonderful feeling?
Dance in Baligou and cross the waterfall.
When we arrived at Baligou Scenic Area, the tour guide allowed us to move around freely.
We did not play in groups of two or three, but followed the store manager all the way, because the store manager is a fun-loving person who loves to sing, dance and dance.
In the Baligou Scenic Area, the store manager played music and led us to dance the money-grabbing dance, the little apple, and the wave riding... The unrestrained feeling of dancing in nature is something we can't feel when dancing in the store every day!
A few of the store manager and I even crossed the muddy and rugged Baligou Falls. The cold mist was suffocating... Now that I think about it, I was so brave that day!
"Sleepless Tonight" Let's all sing together!
On the way back to Kaifeng, everyone seemed to have lost their excitement, and everyone was feeling weak. I leaned on my seat and closed my eyes in boredom, almost falling asleep.
I vaguely heard someone singing, the store manager was singing "Sleepless Tonight".
After a while, everyone in the car started singing along with the store manager. I love music, so of course I have to sing along!
I don’t know why, but I usually only remember the melody but not the lyrics, but I actually sang very well without saying a word!
Musical Journey to Baligou.
A one-day trip to Baligou can be said to be a "musical journey". From the departure to the return journey, there is singing and laughter all the way.
Although the trip to Baligou was only a short day, it was the most enjoyable trip in my memory.
