In August, at the turn of summer and autumn, I embarked on a journey to Gannan. Gannan, Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, located in the southern part of Gansu Province, bordering Sichuan and Qinghai, is known as the "fairyland on earth" because of its unique geographical location and rich Tibetan Buddhist culture.
Before I set off, I carefully prepared my bags. Considering that Gannan is located on a plateau and has a large temperature difference between day and night, I chose breathable and warm clothing. In the early morning, the sun shines through the car window and shines on the light down jacket I wear, which is warm and comfortable. As the altitude increases, the temperature gradually decreases, but this does not affect the joy of my trip.
Walking through the streets and alleys of Gannan, you will be greeted by Tibetan-style buildings and colorful prayer flags. I wore light sneakers and moved between these exotic scenes with ease. At the local temple, I changed into a long dark dress as a sign of respect for my faith. The long skirt flutters gently in the breeze, blending harmoniously with the prayer flags and chanting sounds around it.
The natural beauty of Gannan is equally intoxicating. Wearing that bright red jacket, I stood on the top of a mountain at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, overlooking the rolling snow-capped mountains and vast grasslands. At this moment, I felt one with nature.
The most memorable part of this trip was one evening, when I wore that off-white sweater, sitting on the grassland, watching the sunset over Gannan. The golden sunlight shone on me, warm and serene. I closed my eyes and felt the peace and beauty of this moment.
My trip to Gannan in August not only allowed me to appreciate the magnificent scenery of nature and the unique charm of Tibetan culture, but also taught me how to live in harmony with nature. Every choice of clothing is a new experience and perception of this trip. Here, I not only met the most beautiful scenery, but also met the most beautiful self.
