Mini Travel Journal: Walking on Earth and Feeling the World

Written and photographed by Peng Song


Writers Words:

Walking on earth and feeling the world. Enriching life and expanding live. Increasing wisdom and spreading warmth.

I have been to over two dozens of countries, and nearly hundred cities, villages and tour sites in China. I like taking pictures with cell and freeze the beautiful scenery. I love to describe and note down the beautiful view with simple words. I post my words as a mini travel journal column which named Documentary of Life. I shared my article in my Wechat friend-zone, and my friends praised my words. I am happy because of it.


My mind floated at Wensu Toumuer Grand Canyon, Xinjiang.

My mind floated at Wensu Toumuer Grand Canyon which is over 70 kilometers away from Aksu, Xinjiang. This place is also known as the Living Museum of Geographical History.

 

The reason why my mind floated here was that the minutes I set foot on the land which was an inland lake 26 million years ago, I was astonished and felt like that I had entered a marvelous natural gallery,

This canyon was the only way between the north and south part of Tianshan in ancient times. The layers of the landform in the canyon distributed clearly. The folds and curving lines on the mountains which were caused by pressure were evident too. The rocks were stuck in the middle of the stratum. After washed by flood and rain, and eroded by strong wind for over billions of years, many spectacular, breathtaking, grand, inenarrable landform formed. The mountains are high, odd, different, colorful, etc..

 

The canyon has five landforms like Danxia landform, Yardang landform, sub-Yardang landform, rock salt karst landform and salt dome structure. This place has a high scientific and tour development value. The tour site at this place has developed over 10 kilometers.

Walking in the Tianshan Holy Garden

You have to go the magical Tianshan Holy Garden when you arrive Aksu, Xinjiang.


Tianshan Holy Garden is located 80 kilometers away from Aksu. It was the holy land for gathering and worship of the Mohammedans in the ancient time. This place is also called the Pearl of Gobi.


The most of trees in the garden are over thousand years old. There are many different kinds of trees such as poplar, elm, willow, ash tree, walnut tree and the apricot tree. Their shapes are various and vigorous yet old. Some of the trees are twisted and stretch near the earth; some of them curled on the ground which is like the shape of dragon and snake. Some of them have strong and steady boles, and their branches dance in the wind. Some of the treescrowns and roots are connected, and you can not tell which is which. Some of the trees fell, and new branches grew from the root strait up then become tall trees. Some of the treesroots are connected even though there are different trees which is impressive. There was a tree which was off-angle, and the root was already rotten, but the crown was still thriving, and that is astonishing.


Traveling through the Taklimakan Desert

Under the invitation of a friend in Aksu, Xinjiang. In the afternoon at August 31st, 2017, I took a taxi from Hotan Prefecture and drove along the Hotan and Aksu Highway( from Hotan to Aksu). The road is over 420 kilometers long and goes through the famous Taklimakan Desert which is the world's second largest desert. The scenery along the way was fantastic, and I asked the driver to stop for me to take photos many times.

 

Taklimakan Desert is located in the center of Tarim Basin which is in the southern Xinjiang. It is the biggest desert in China, the world's tenth largest desert, and the world's second largest flow desert. The desert is about 1,000 kilometers long from east to west and 400 kilometers wide from south to north. The total area is 330,000 square kilometers.

 

The endless desert, straight Hotan and Aksu Highway, thousands-years-old populus euphraticas, the story of Taklimakan Desert and the story of the tenacious populus euphratica all left an indelible memory.


Visiting Jengish Chokusu National Nature Reserve in Xinjiang

Accompanied by my friend in Aksu, I visited Jengish Chokusu National Nature Reserves. I had many unforgettably good memories of the unique scenery along the way and within the reserve.

 

Jengish Chokusu National Nature Reserves in Wensu County, Aksu Prefecture, Xinjiang which connects the north and south, east and west Tianshan. It is a comprehensive reserve of the alpine ecosystem with alpine glaciers, wild animals, and plants.

 

The Jengish Chokusu Peak within the reserves is the top peak of Tianshan which is more than 7,400 meters above sea level. The high Jengish Chokusu Peak is always covered in snow, surrounded by cloud. It is marvelous. The strange natural landscape is a masterpiece.

Wandering in Time Square, New York

Time Square is a prosperous block in Manhattan, New York City, America. It is known as the Worlds Crossroad. Because the headquarter of New York Times is located here, and that is also why this place is called Times Square. But people prefer the name Time Square.

 

There are over forty malls and theaters here, and it is the busiest entertainment and shopping center. The theaters in Broadway, numerous flashing billboards and television style advertisements show the strong urban characteristics of this place. When you walk near the square, you can see colorful neon lights, street artists, and news, music videos and TV shows playing on the screens around the clock. It is enough to catch anyones eyes.

Walking in Windsor Castle, England

The scenery of Windsor Castle is charming, and the internal decoration is fancy, the daily supplies and collections are astonishing. I visited here on November 9th, 2017.

 

Windsor castle is the family castle of the British royal, House of Windsor and is the largest castle that people lives in in the world.

 

Windsor castle is also the principal executive residence of the British monarch, such as Buckingham Palace in London and the Palace of Holyrood in Edinburgh. The present British Queen, Elizabeth II, spends plenty of time here every year and holds national and private events here.

Touring the Arch of Triumph in Paris.

You have to go to the Arch of Triumph when you travel in Paris. I visited here on November 11th, 2017. That day was the 99th anniversary of the ceasefire of World War I. The French President Macron, previous president Sarkozy and Hollande, the present Prime Minister Philippe and other party leaders joined the memorial event and military parade.

 

This building was ordered to built in 1086 to remember the victory of Napoleon defeating the joined force of Russian and Austro-Hungarian army in 1805 and to welcome the triumphed French soldiers. It was accomplished in 1836, took 30 years to finish. It is about 50 meters tall and the biggest arch in the world. It is located in the center of Place Charles de Gaulle which is in the center of Paris.

 

The Arch of Triumph in Paris is the largest one among 100 arches of triumph. It is also one of the representative buildings of Paris( four representative buildings: Eiffel Tower, The Arch of Triumph,  Louvre Museum and Notre Dame Cathedral).

Visiting Notre Dame Cathedral

Notre Dame Cathedral is a cathedral located in the center of Paris, France. It was started to build in 1163 and completely finished in 1345. It took over 180 years to complete. It is famous for its typical Gothic architecture and being an epoch-making symbol of European architectural history. Famous French writer Hugo published a novel, Notre-Dame de Paris, in 1831. This novel has been changed into movies, TV plays, and musicals which also brought fame to the Notre Dame Cathedral.

 

The hall of Notre Dame Cathedral can accommodate 9,000 people. The great organ in the hall is well-known as well. There are 6,000 pipes, and the tune is deep and loud which suits to play the solemn kind of music. Many important events have been held here such as reading the anthem which wrote for the triumph of World War II and the burial of former French President General de Gaulle in 1970.

 

The Notre Dame Cathedral is still carrying out her religious duties and is one of the world's most famous tourism classics. It continues to spread religious arts and French culture around the world.
