Features: No matter how glorious or ordinary life may be, one cannot escape the lingering loneliness, which becomes even deeper during travel. Perhaps after years of wandering, you will realize that only in this solitary journey can you rediscover your inner self, reassembling the chapters that were once overlooked and long buried. Tatsuo (Tatsuo) came to understand the true essence of his life through his lonely travels. "I" exist in the observations made during the journey, and the true self is not the "constant self," 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 plains after the rain. The term "solitary walk" does not mean you must travel alone; rather, it means your "journey" must be uniquely yours. No matter how renowned or famous the destination may be, your "journey" must hold meaning and value for yourself! This is the philosophy of "Solitary Walk China." We never advise you to travel according to a fixed pattern. Rushing from one enclosed tourist attraction to another is 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" on the road. Therefore, we need "rovers" to pave the way for us. For Europeans, Marco Polo was 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, dedicating his life to collecting the "weeds" and "rocks" of the road. And we—the "Solitary Walk China"—will become your rover, helping you become your own rover.
