Extract from a photographer’s diary ：

Road 318 is now becoming a synonym of Sichuan-Tibet line, a must-go tour for tourists and paradise for photographer. I took the opportunity and went on my trip to the place I have dreamed of on June. I set off on road 317, heading to Xindu Bridge. Along the way, I stopped the car frequently to take photos. What I have got on my way is not only the good photos of the landscapes, but also the feeling of freedom as if I was flying in the sky.

Rolling mountains, snowy peaks, boundless grassland and cattle and sheep on it plus the houses in village, all are under the pure blue sky with white clouds. What a picture of nature! Stretching my body, I take a deep breath of the cool and clean air. The most important thing is that all of these make me feel good. We have traveled that far to get the peace of happiness. It is really worthwhile.
