In the face of an unforeseen era, the feedback that travel brings to the commonplace life is like cultivating an oasis in the desert, and we still believe in its value in spite of the hard work of the calloused hands and feet.
In front of the speeding time and life, those landscapes that allow the eyes and mind to stay for a short time are valuable. For us, beauty, food and aesthetics are the three anchors of a scenic route.
In the past, I will combine my unique perspective on aesthetics of life with the depth of professional action of "ten years of sharpening a sword", and open up a full range of exploration and practice of the "ideal way of life" for those who are still full of passion for life.

Watching the Original Countryside
Lao Tzu advocates that human beings have to go back to the primordial era to realize their true nature. Therefore, to answer the question of "who am I and where do I come from", we have to go back to the original countryside to find the answer. Great souls come from the same place, and Heidegger also believed that "to exist" is to be fully engaged in the source of the living life.
We can't go back in time, but we can go back in geography and history and culture to see where we came from and where we are going.
We plan the width of the river to create a yearning for the other side; we keep the remains of the object to retain the memory of the years; and the warmth does not come from the climate change, but from the design to transmit the temperature of the people to perceive.
The design of this year's "Around China" series ("Around China - Beautiful Winter", "Around China - Spring World Heritage", "Around Xinjiang", "Around Parents and Children - Warm Winter Fun Tour") originated from our response to the call of the original homeland.
We can imagine that the ancient city of Jiaoxie has a wall with a remnant of the west wind, the Meng Yuan fairyland has a cluster of dense forests in the primitive floods, and the Jiuqu Stream has the floating shadow of the bamboo rafters.
In those old cities in the folds of hidden memory, in the mountain haze and the intersection of human fireworks, in the sky and the wind and water, "for the gentleman holding wine persuade the slanting sun, and to the flowers to stay in the evening," dense "and walk and cherish" of the implication of the emotion.
"Traveling around China" is a kind of yearning, but also a kind of watchfulness. In this era of haste, stop and look back at those gorgeous or desolate gestures, and the wind of the past and present, follow the knowledgeable mentor, feel the joy of the soul soaring, overlooking the flight of time and space.
Taste History
Wooden Heart once said, "Life needs a little more character than just rice, oil and salt". The Chinese use food to perceive the world and create beauty from food.
In the age of material prosperity, each of us has to have a set of aesthetics of our own life, and food, undoubtedly, is the most comforting aesthetics of life.
In early February, we searched for the old days of Shanghai, searched for the flavors of the lost time, and touched by the heritage of the artisans.
Our team brought together Shanghai gourmets to create the "'old base' Shanghai New Year's flavors" food tours, a one-time taste of the representatives of the branch of the Shanghai cuisine, taste of the famous chefs of the Shanghai school replica of the lost famous dishes.
We believe that good food is only as good as the humanities, and that fireworks are more colorful than fireworks on a cold night.
At the time of Xiaoman Festival, we are in the Xixi Lake, to reproduce a Song feast that traveled through a thousand years, and to admire the extreme aesthetics of the Song people.
This is like resurrecting a cell of the Song Dynasty, and then resurrecting the breath of life of this era. From the Song Dynasty to the "Song tide", the aesthetic achievements of the Song Dynasty are no longer trapped in the imagination between the ruled paper, but full of five senses immersed in the satisfaction.
As the first aesthetic immersion tour of ancient Chinese cuisine, the Song Banquet was followed by the Fuchun Mountain Dwelling Dinner, which paid tribute to Huang Gongwang's Fuchun landscape with his beautiful cuisine.
In October, we gathered in the imperial capital of Beijing, looking forward to the centuries-old saga of the Manchu Han Dynasty, and marveled at the subtleties of the Imperial Palace Cuisine.
This ancient city of senior gourmets across the ancient and modern, and still circulate the Beijing flavor drinking food rivers and lakes of moving legend. Hongkong Bird & Bird traveled around the capital to find six famous chefs, with "six secret meals outside the Forbidden City", to open your imagination of the city's food.
The extraordinary culinary skills of those hidden in the jungle, building their own ideal country in food and art. The aesthetics of life in this city are enriched by their presence.
Big Dreams
The meta-universe debate is in full swing, and we're still careful to remain perceptive to the edges and obtuse to the hustle and bustle.
We prefer to believe Goethe when he said, "There is no surer way of escaping from the world than through art, and there is no surer way of uniting with the world than through art."
We are more likely to believe Goethe when he said, "There is no surer way of escaping from the world than through art."
Over the years of exploration, we have become more and more convinced of the significance of the humanities for our time, and of the value of art for people. For historical and cultural heritage, our attitude has always been "protection, research, promotion", and more firmly believe that "promotion" is the responsibility of the tourists.
The plum blossomed a few times, the peach and plum did not say since the groove; rug left traces, the country and the city behind the body. The so-called era giants, that is, when the times chose him, he has been all exquisite. Mei Lanfang, a generation of Peking Opera masters, for us to present an era of kaleidoscopic splendor of the world.
The Mei School of Peking Opera, founded by Mr. Mei Lanfang, is undoubtedly a national art that is "delicate and exquisite".
We spoke exclusively with Mr. Mei Wei, the great-grandson of Mr. Mei Lanfang, who, in his special capacity and perspective, restored a flesh-and-blood image of the cultural master.
We are also committed to the fashionable interpretation of the traditional classic dishes; to create an international expression of Chinese mood dishes. Da Dong, a man of thousands of miles, in the Oriental wisdom to explore the food of the "twenty-four seasons"; Qingchuan Lingxing, in the great beauty of heaven and earth to write their own "landscape and the heart of the land".
As a master of food, literature and aesthetics, Mr. Da Dong's in-depth interview not only makes us marvel at his extraordinary achievement in exploring the science of color in the wisdom of the Orient, but also admires his determination and foresight in pursuing the international expression of Chinese cuisine.
We have an exclusive interview with the new head of Maxuan Hotel. The new head of the hotel, the new head of the Forbidden City, is an urban paradise with a breathtaking view of the city; the new head of the hotel, the new head of the Forbidden City, is an artist who tells the story of PurSun's ultra-luxurious hospitality. The world's best diamond has become WinSun, waiting for guests to come.
The hotel is more like the pursuit and short-lived realization of a longing or a dream that every traveler has in his or her life.
We have an exclusive interview with the head of Capella Jianye Li. A luxurious retreat in a bustling city, immersed in Shikumen's maritime culture; a new international expression of the old lane, a perfect replica of the old lane's former times.
PuXuan in Beijing and Capella Jianye Li in Shanghai are undoubtedly the most representative and recognizable hotels in these two places.
Through the hotel general manager's wise and emotional narration, we not only have a renewed understanding of luxury hotels, but also gained nourishment from the philosophy of life that has been perfected by time. After all, time never fails everyone who is serious about life.
The past is all a prologue, and the final chapter of the end of the year also means the beginning of the new year. We are in the long night, deep plowing, still water running deep, waiting for spring to return to the earth.
Humanity never stops moving forward in the midst of suffering. We cry as we descend into the world, but can laugh as we walk towards eternity. Even if the clouds cover the sun, but also to wait for the moment of sunrise; even if the ice and snow loaded with the road, but also look forward to the spring of the wind and frost melt.
Waiting for the return of spring, looking back to "those long afternoons filled with sunshine, I have nothing to do, and nothing to fear, because I know that in my life there is a kind of eternal waiting. Frustration will come and go, tears will be shed and put away.
We pay tribute to all the roads we have traveled,
And we are grateful to all the people we have traveled with,
Because we believe
that there is no need for us to be so careful with our lives, and that we should not be afraid of what we do.
The best story in the world:
You go your way, I go yours.
