Features: Life, whether glorious or ordinary, is never free from the lingering loneliness, and this loneliness becomes even deeper during travel. Perhaps after years of wandering, you will realize that only in this solitary journey can you re-examine your own heart, reorganizing the chapters that were once overlooked and long buried. (Tatsuo) came to understand the truth of his life through his lonely travels. "I" depend on the experiences encountered during the journey, and the true self is not the constant "me," but rather something that changes with the white snow of distant mountains, the shadows of cedars, grey clouds, flowing mist, and the rainbow bridging the green fields after rain. The term "solitary walk" does not mean you must travel alone, but rather that your "journey" must have a personal touch. No matter how renowned or famous the destination, your "journey" must be meaningful and valuable to you! This is the philosophy of "Solitary Walk China." We never suggest following a fixed travel pattern. The rushed, hurried visits to enclosed tourist attractions are merely a form of consumption. However, everyone has some things more important than traveling, and not everyone has the time to explore the "weeds" and "rocks" along the way. Therefore, we need "rovers" to pave the way for us. For Europeans, Marco Polo is their rover to understand China; for Emperor Wu of Han, Zhang Qian was his rover to explore places beyond the Western Regions of China; Xu Xiake is our model of a rover, who dedicated his life to collecting the "weeds" and "rocks" of the journey. And we—the authors of "Solitary Walk China"—will become your rovers, helping you become your own rovers.
