Unexpectedly, the novel coronavirus, lingering in the air, seemed to come to an abrupt end in December 2022, stagnating in the history of history. Surprisingly, the freedom to travel on a whim suddenly arrived, seemingly adding another vibrant touch to this Chinese New Year—yes, a finishing touch.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, my heart, originally unintentional about setting off, suddenly stirred. In that moment, all the pre-holiday fatigue vanished. Go, tear open another brand new ticket, and embark on a new journey. There's no destination, only a direction: south, because for Chengdu in winter, that's the direction of the sunshine. Setting off on the first day of the new year, the round trip will be over 4,000 kilometers, 8,000 miles covered by clouds and moon, but no noise of traffic, only the gentle breeze and warm sunshine.

Day 1/13 days: Chengdu to Renhuai, 480 kilometers, 7 hours. It's a rare sunny day in Chengdu, and thinking of the thousands of miles of scenery ahead fills me with joy.

Recharge your electricity at Luzhou Bubugao Plaza, available anytime, with a 66-kWh gift pack for the Spring Festival. It's a thoughtful gesture. A whole fresh pepper rabbit is available at the 5th-floor food court. What if rabbits suddenly become a thing of the past? Yes, you should always have dreams, just in case they come true.

Renhuai, home to Maotai Town, is a distant memory of Maotai Town 18 years ago, leaving only the lingering aroma of the wine.

That year, several young people rushed from Chengdu to Zunyi and then to Maotai Town with their dreams. That was also the first and so far the only time in China that everyone in the cabin applauded the crew the moment the plane landed. God knows why the airflow over Longdongbao that day was so turbulent. I remember it was a Sichuan Airlines plane. Sichuan Airlines planes seem to have always been very powerful.

A rope flies to connect the north and the south, but there is no more boat for this crossing.

Day 2/13 days: Renhuai to Baise, 540km, 7 hours.
A delicious breakfast. Every Chinese New Year, as soon as I put down my chopsticks and said I was full, my mother would immediately say, "A delicious breakfast, a delicious breakfast." Yes, in our time, the only time we could eat delicious food was during Chinese New Year, which only happened once a year. Recharging in Guiyang: There's a Financial City Supercharging Station near the highway exit, offering instant charging. Two or three other cars occasionally accompanied me, and the afternoon sun followed me all the way to Baise. The sky shone with cloud shadows, and the waves shone brightly. The arcades of Jiefang Street are reminiscent of those found in Guangzhou's Shangxiajiu district, but with a rare sense of tranquility.

Half-day at the Baise Uprising Memorial Park
When the Tianshengqiao Hydropower Station began construction, I was still in high school. My freshman year of high school, I only had 30 kilograms of food rations per month, and these rations came with coupons. It wasn't enough, and I had to ask female classmates for coupons. I remember the school cafeteria food was terrible. The only good thing was the steamed pork ribs with rice flour. Each person was limited to one portion, and the opportunity to buy it was fleeting.

A good life is hard-earned!
We should use our hearts, do our best, and stay positive. May our motherland continue to improve, and may every family's life become better and better. The uncle in Fanggang said that the oysters were very fragrant when fried in the evening. Thank you for your friendly appearance.

I've come from afar, and coincidentally, the sunset over the Changhai is also here. This appointment is made possible by the southern sunshine.

At this moment, I'm a landlocked person yearning for the sea! I remember going to Shanghai with my classmates in 1994 to watch the match between Quanxing and Shenhua. We even drove two wild motorcycles to see the Yangtze River estuary. I even naively tasted the water because I wanted to feel the saltiness of the sea. Unfortunately, it wasn't you. By the way, it would be wonderful if I could find a job as a farmer in Pudong after graduation, settle down on some land, and live a rural life for a few years.

Day 4/13 Days: Fangchenggang & Dongxing
This small border town, under the historical sky, still bustles with people. This is Dongxing, which has weathered the years.

The Great Qing Empire, our Celestial Empire boasts abundant resources and possesses everything. We never relied on foreign goods to meet our needs. From then on, the fate of this country took a turn.

Looking across the Boundary River at Vietnam, I kind of miss those days in Hoi An.

Leaving Dongxing to look for the sea, there are few people and you can drive directly to the beach.

A pot of tea, a book, a ray of sunshine

Use a brush to record the sea at this moment, and listen to the sound of waves.

Day 5/13: The small fishing village of Fangchenggang, where kites and seagulls dance and fly, is tranquil and beautiful. The sea breeze gently caresses the emerald waters, not a single cloud being carried away.

An unexpected gain today: making friends through painting. I never expected such a thoughtful homestay community to exist in such a quiet fishing village! Fanggang Tuhai Art Village

Day 6/13 days: Fanggang to Puzhehei, 670km, 10 hours.
Today's journey is long, so I need to recharge twice.
Recharged in Chongzuo. Most of the nearby restaurants are open today.

Cloud fast charging in Funing County only requires one more refill.
From the fishing village to the mountain village, today we are back to Puzhehei Village. Fish, shrimp, side dishes, wine flags in the wind, who is the family living on the farm on the road.

Day 7/13 Days: Puzhehei
Looking back at Puzhehei Village, where we previously visited, I realized that eight years have passed unnoticed. Walking and exploring the world with children is indeed one of the ways to maintain their curiosity and learning ability. Grow up happily, every child.

The mountains and waters remain green, yet time itself remains. Sitting here, I see the passage of time.

At this moment, modernity and traditional New Year customs collide and merge in Puzhehei Village; yesterday, today, and tomorrow are constantly changing and looking forward. Maintain a passion for life, and let us explore the world together.

Walking and stopping, spending time in Puzhehei Village.

Inadvertently, a small watercolor painting slowly flowed from the tip of the brush.

Day 8/13 days: Puzhehei to Mile, 140km, 3 hours.
Waking up in the morning, I lifted the curtains and looked out, only to see clear water and green mountains.

On the shore of Maitreya Lake, I looked through my diary from back then. I never imagined a simple post would help 10,000 travelers and even make it to Baidu's homepage.

A gentle breeze chases the light, while I sit and watch the clouds rise. Run for a

At sunset, record the lake and spring at this moment.

I recommend a barbecue restaurant. The yellow beef and small yellow croaker are great. It’s simple and reasonable.

A tranquil morning filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. At that moment, I felt a sense of belonging to one nation, a world at home.

I had originally planned to visit Fuxian Lake or Ancient Dian to soak up the sun for two days before heading home. However, my kids were watching the TV series "Windy," so I decided to take the Shaxi route instead. Recharge your phone at Wuyue Plaza in Anning

Recharge your phone at Xili Hotel near the exit of Chuxiong Expressway

Last year, a good friend was in Chuxiong for work, and although we'd invited each other several times, we weren't able to go. Unexpectedly, he came today, full of excitement. It was wonderful!

You are a sentimental person. If you must host a virtual reception, then let’s just have a virtual drink.

That night, in the Yi town. The sky is crystal clear, like a mirror-like ice.

Day 10/13 days: Chuxiong to Shaxi Ancient Town, 320km, 6 hours
Recharge at Erhai Gate Hotel

Walking slowly along the beach, the wind from Cangshan Mountain softly brushes against the surface of Erhai Lake, causing slight ripples on the surface of the sea.

If you like your baby, then go see where there is wind. There is wind here, write our story, and love what we love.

The gently sloping cobblestone path, the setting sun and the gentle breeze, truly feel like wandering in a flowing oil painting. I recommend a restaurant in Huijiang. It is simple and fair, and the taste is good too.

It was a starry night.

Day 11/13 days: Shaxi Ancient Town to Panzhihua, 310km, 5.5 hours
The morning sunshine always brings a lot of energy.

I happened to run into two local children on the corner of a courtyard. As soon as we met, they greeted me with a childish yet enthusiastic "Hello". Wow, such simple words, but they instantly warmed my heart! Yes, as we travel, there are always people and things that give us energy, inspiring us to love the world and move forward courageously.

A street corner restaurant. The town's vitality begins anew with sunshine, hello, and delicious food.

I never liked reading when I was in school, but in recent years, my child has fallen in love with reading. I can spend the whole day here. At 16:00, we set off again and recharged at Jianhu Service Area to reach Panzhihua. The service area is very large and there is also a Jianhu Viewing Platform.

Day 12/Total 13 days: Panzhihua to Xichang, 220KM, 3 hours
Making tea with old classmates and watching time pass by

Day 13/13 Days: Xichang to Chengdu
Returning home.
Charging at the Mingshan service area: plenty of charging stations, never crowded.
Spring is late, flowers and trees are lush, and the roadsides are covered with flowers like rain. Looking back at the road I have traveled, there has been neither wind nor rain, nor clear skies.
