Features: The author spent over two months riding an old bicycle from Guangzhou to Lhasa, offering an alternative form of travel and lifestyle. In this book, readers not only get to experience the unique customs, traditions, and captivating natural landscapes of the Tibetan Plateau but also learn practical outdoor survival skills summarized and tested by the author. Self-guided travel and outdoor survival have become a compulsory course for young people's growth in the West and are increasingly becoming a popular lifestyle in China. The Ministry of Education of China has fully introduced "Outdoor Survival" courses in its affiliated universities since September 2002. During the 5,000-kilometer journey, the author's mind gradually reached a state of clarity, realizing that "humans can actually fly in life."
