Features: The slogan of Cool is: "Don't take the beaten path, only love strangers!" The way you face travel determines the direction of the information, the nature of the content, and the style of the series. The self-guided tourism philosophy we advocate and promote is: authentic, simple, straightforward, and seeking a certain artistic conception in travel. Our goal is to convey a more down-to-earth approach in this series—walking close to the earth instead of back-and-forth flights or taking taxis, and a more cutting-edge travel concept—traveling for freedom. To travel far and wide, to know the local customs; to explore the hidden depths, to connect with the culture; to tread through hardships, to understand the spirit—beauty of Tibet is not just my personal opinion. Those who have been to and those who haven’t yet have their own reasons to go or return. There is so much more I want to say. "Hell on earth, paradise for the eyes, soul returning home"—this is Tibet. This is the Tibet that is endless to explore—snow-capped mountains, green grasslands, beautiful Tibetan monasteries. Highland barley wine, butter tea, the five-colored prayer flags on mani stones. And countless "hidden lotuses" set off on horseback—starting from the Xinjiang-Tibet Road, Qinghai-Tibet Road, Sichuan-Tibet Road, Yunnan-Tibet Road, and the China-Nepal Highway, heading toward Tibet.
