Xu Xiake traveled for more than 30 years, was robbed 3 times, ran out of food 4 times, traveled to 21 provinces on foot, and experienced life and death hundreds of times. Only one "Xu Xiake's Travels" has survived in the world, which is known as "the encyclopedia of late Ming Dynasty society". The opening day (May 19) is designated as China Tourism Day.
The real Xu Xiake in history was not a thin scholar who was obsessed with mountains and rivers, but an ancient traveler and explorer who was physically strong, proficient in traveling and surviving in the wild.
According to records, his agility can easily pass through walls and ravines; he can also climb and swim in a way that is incomparable to ordinary people. It was this good physical quality that created the conditions for him to become a wandering saint. The theories he summarized on mountain climbing, views on water wading, and various major discoveries made during his travels are still praised by people today.
However, the secrets behind all this are rarely known...

A man's heart is weak and a snake swallows an elephant🐍. Since ancient times, heroes have suffered many hardships!
Who is to blame for the Fujian and Zheng parties? Emperor Wanli made a big mistake!
Young people are careless and confused, and they do whatever they want and have no idea.
Poor Prince Zhu Changluo, he suffered from repeated illnesses when he was born a prince!
Walking on thin ice!
It's only a matter of time before the dynasty changes, retreating to Longting, and getting the emperor's vote of approval. Who knows that there is a Dongting outside the Qingshan Tower outside the mountain?
It's humorous and interesting, but it's full of meaning.
Xu Xiake, after a generation of loyalty, devoted himself to the country and asked for orders for the people.
Fascinating, hard to put down
Good book, very exciting
I'm still not satisfied, I want to watch the next one
Xu Xiake is a famous figure, and I still have more to say after listening to this book.
It's so beautiful and the writing is smooth. There should be a follow-up. Hope it comes out soon.
