Features: This is a travelogue about traveling west alone, accompanied by enchanting photographs and refreshing, poetic language that will transport you to a dreamlike realm. An elderly Tibetan woman keeps appearing in my dreams. At first, she faces away from me, but in subsequent dreams, she gradually turns toward me. She is an ancient old woman, gazing at me as her lips open and close, uttering something I cannot hear. I am not anxious, knowing I will eventually hear her. In the dreams, her voice grows louder with each iteration, as if I am gradually seeing her face more clearly and understanding her voice better. In the final dream, I hear her voice clearly—a timeless call, as if from the depths of eternity: "Come, my child, come see your Animaqin Snow Mountain!" It was calling me, and I heard it distinctly.
