Travelers on National Highway 318

Tibet is a kind of poison, an addictive poison. Once you get it, you can never get rid of it. It slowly erodes your soul, makes you fascinated by it, and makes you find ways to get close to it and fall into its arms, no matter what the cost. In 2017, when I was a junior in college, I carried my schoolbag alone without a companion, boarded the train, and walked towards Lhasa. I took a quick trip. What was different from everyone's imagination was that I stopped in Xining, the city closest to Lhasa. The reason was that I was too "lonely". I was full of enthusiasm and finally ran away in a hurry! The Tibetan dream will never be forgotten for a long time. Two years later, I finally found a companion, my lover, and with a little travel, I embarked on the road to realizing my dream again. This time, we chose to take a ride. We started from Chengdu and followed the 318 National Highway. We traveled 2100km and took 19 rides to reach Lhasa, the City of Sunshine. We will share the beauty and hardships along the way with you! This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
