This is the first time I took my mother on a trip, helping her realize her dream of Tibet!

My enlightenment on the road of travel is my mother. From childhood to adulthood, she took me around the country, taking me to see the vast grasslands of Inner Mongolia, the vast desert of Gansu, the ethnic customs of Xinjiang, the primitive forests of Yunnan, the Confucian culture of Qilu, the soft rain of the south of the Yangtze River, the surging of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River... Before I was 18, my mother took me on a journey of thousands of miles, seeing the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, forming my broad world geography view. Just as I came of age, I had accumulated a lot of travel experience and sparked more and more curiosity about the world. I started traveling alone from university. At the age of 19, I went to Tibet alone, and later traveled to 30 countries around the world. The more I walked alone, the more I saw, but suddenly realized that my parents were getting older and I hadn't traveled with my mother for a long time. Even though I have traveled most of the provinces and cities in the country, the snow-capped plateau is still a place my mother has never set foot in and has always wanted to come. Since my first solo travel destination was Tibet, seven years later, I chose Tibet again to start the first 'I take my mother to see the world' journey. Two years ago in the spring, I went to Shangri-La, Songzanlin Ka next to Songzanlin Temple, is the best Tibetan hotel in my mind. The high-altitude geographical environment of Tibet may be a tough journey for my mother, so I thought of 'Tibet Jiangnan' Linzhi, where the altitude is relatively low, the trees are lush, the oxygen is sufficient, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, very suitable as the first destination into Tibet. The journey into Tibet was not smooth, from Chongqing to Linzhi, experienced six hours of delay, six hours of flight and return, we delayed a whole day's time, after a hard journey, finally arrived at Basong Co. When we arrived, we saw a rainbow reflected in the valley, at this time the fatigue of the journey, the discomfort of high anti, all disappeared with the rainbow bridge in the Tibetan heart symbolizing 'connecting the sky and the earth, spreading peace and joy'. The hotel we chose to stay in is the Basong Co Lin Ka of Songzan, which has been prepared for eight years and officially opened in September this year. It is currently the largest scale, the first green low-carbon hotel under the Songzan banner. Located on the south bank of Basong Co, it rests in the arm of the holy lake and the divine bay. When the weather is fine, the snow-capped mountains of Jieqing Nalagabu in the north are shining brightly. As soon as you enter the hotel, your heart will calm down. The design of the hotel reflects the Tibetan tribute to the local Tibetan cultural history and the extension of the natural scenery of Basong Co, truly making us feel 'living in nature', and happily, my mother immediately liked it here. The simple and kind Tibetan housekeeper handed over a cup of ginger tea and delicious barley cookies, welcoming our arrival, drinking the hot ginger tea, brought back my memories of meeting Songzan two years ago, for a moment there was a feeling of 'home'. The moment I opened the window of the room, the fresh air, the chirping of birds in my ears, the distant cowbells on the lawn floating in the air, the person by the window also became a person in the painting.
