Travel is a high-level form of consumption, pursued after basic living needs are met—a pursuit of a high-quality and refined lifestyle. As people's living standards improve and leisure time increases, more and more are stepping out of their homes, into nature, and into society to experience different things, landscapes, customs, and cultures. At the same time, in highly urbanized and industrialized societies, fierce competition and the fast-paced nature of work and life make it even more essential for people to immerse themselves in nature to rejuvenate their bodies and minds. Travel has become a perfect way for modern people to explore new experiences and enjoy life.
This book is divided into seven parts, mainly covering topics such as why people choose to travel, who guides them, the wisdom of choosing accommodations, and cultural experiences through travel dining.
