Zhangjiajie has completed an honest account and balanced presentation of humanity and nature, stripping away that wild enthusiasm, and all returns to tranquility and indifference.
Far from those distant bewilderments and decencies, in this faint sorrow of wind and rain, one quietly enjoys the loneliness and solitude of life—it is a perfect opportunity to exile one's own humanity. Even sorrow is a kind of extreme, a spectacle, a supreme beauty, a deliberate boldness, a profound meaning of life.
The meaning of life lies in nature. Only by taking its essence, polishing its core, and letting it settle naturally can one calmly enjoy it, remain undisturbed by favor or disgrace, be indifferent to nature, and merge with nature. Any artificiality will go against nature and against supreme beauty.
However, I think this scenery in Zhangjiajie is like a delicate book, a cup of fragrant tea, for you to savor, never falling into vulgarity, occasionally filling or falling at your feet, by your side, and in your mood.
In reverie, one can no longer distinguish the scenery before the eyes, the path ahead, even day and night, nor is there a need to distinguish where the mountain is, where the body is, where to return. One only needs to know this rich and abundant vegetation, the aesthetic charm of Zhangjiajie.
Occasionally looking up into the distance, in the afterglow of the setting sun, lines of flying birds catch the eye, their strong wings vigorously stirring the lingering charm of the sunset, cawing in the sky, loud and far-reaching. One cannot help but ask, are you, migrating birds, also marveling and lingering over Zhangjiajie?
A good trip is like an excellent prose, so beautiful it intoxicates... And a good travel route is like the embellishing words in that prose, either elegant and noble, or poignantly heart-wrenching...
