Recently, the number of young people on the weekend night train has generally increased, and most of them look like university students.
It turned out that they all came out to travel.
On February 21, an uncle from Urumqi, Xinjiang, exclaimed impassionedly in a carriage full of college students: "Youth has no price!" Hard seat straight to Lhasa! slogan. In the video, the atmosphere inside the carriage is full, and the viewers outside the video are eager to move.
This has also led to the emergence of a tourism method that attracts the attention of young people - special forces tourism.
In the past, college students took overnight trains to check in to many attractions, the limit was stretched for 48 hours, and returned to school on Monday for physical examination; After that, someone traveled 1300 kilometers round trip to 6 scenic spots in 30 hours, and went to work as usual the next day; There are also extreme challenges for travelers to check in 8 attractions a day, walk 90,000 steps a day, and sleep only three hours.
Unlike the way of traveling that sleeps until you wake up naturally, dresses up slowly, and then searches for where to go next, this is an extreme way to travel to the most attractions in the least amount of time and money.
It is quite challenging to have energy and physical fitness, and I am afraid that only young people can enjoy it.
This group of "special forces" has extraordinary physical strength and enthusiasm, as well as both money management ability and travel planning ability, and is a well-deserved new "time management master". The main theme is the phrase "visit here".
They will collect information from major platforms in advance, make travel strategies, choose cheap travel methods, book affordable hostel B&Bs, arrange the time to visit each attraction, and some people only visit each attraction for an average of 20 minutes, and after lining up to take photos at major "Internet celebrity spots", they rush to the next attraction.
After all the play, I collapsed on the return train, lamenting the eight in the morning tomorrow Monday, or morning class, or work, or physical examination...
Finally, by sharing various beautiful photos on his social networking site, the tour is over. Carefully compare the pictures you send and those posted by others, the scenery composition is similar, that is, the people are different.
It can be said that when you get in the car to sleep and knock on the computer, get out of the car and click and take pictures, you don't know anything when you go back.
Many netizens have expressed such a way of travel
"I feel tired just looking at it"
"Isn't tourism for enjoyment?"
"Is the meaning of tourism to experience or rush?"
In fact, this behavior is not incomprehensible.
Travel restrictions over the past three years have left countless travel enthusiasts waiting for the day when they can embrace the mountains and rivers again.
Similarly, young students, especially college students, have finally escaped the bitterness of the college entrance examination, and four years of beautiful campus life, three of which are really just campus life. Nowadays, if you don't play hard, you can't help your identity and youth as a college student.
Compared with migrant workers entering the workplace, college students are typical "some time but little money".
Coupled with the fact that today's "Internet celebrity economy" is so prevalent, it is not difficult to see when you do the strategy:
"Come to xx city, be sure to go to these places"
"Extreme 24 hours, take you all over Shanghai snacks"
"If you only have two days to play xx, this time-saving and fun route you must collect"
……
Now in a fast-paced social environment, everything pursues a high efficiency, even the tourist group has to "roll" up.
College students still have some room for adjustment in their studies and lives, but migrant workers who are generally stressed and have few holidays rarely have room to relax and adjust themselves.
For them, travel can temporarily get rid of the familiar and depressing living environment, let their brains receive more fresh stimuli, and will not be numb in front of the ever-lit computer screen.
Therefore, it is reasonable to have this crazy "special forces-style tourism".
But is this way of traveling really as inexperiential as netizens say?
The new children in the company may have a different experience of this.
I looked at her 6-day Jiangnan tourist route in early February this year and found that she can also be regarded as a member of the "special forces vanguard" in the mouths of netizens.
Walk six places a day, walk more than 30,000 steps a day, leave the hotel at 7 in the morning, and return at 10 in the evening.
When a person comes out to play, he does not often take a taxi and take the subway, basically walking or cycling, and occasionally taking the bus.
It doesn't matter whether the route of the attractions arranged by herself is completed, the attractions just give her a direction to go out.
In this way, she is more of traveling than traveling.
Tourism seems to be eating fast food, taking major attractions as the goal, ignoring the process to quickly reach the attractions, often with a group of friends, making appointments, lively and lively, shopping and spending in the local area, enjoying local food for fun.
And traveling alone or choosing one or two like-minded friends, just go, and go with the flow.
A person's journey seems a little lonely and boring to some people, less laughter around them, and more wisps of loneliness and sorrow. But this kind of solitude often allows you to hear your true inner voice. It's a spiritual journey that is hard to have when walking with others.
Just like some netizens advocate that tourism should be to enjoy and relax, to experience and feel the city. In a sense, this is very similar to travel.
Now sit down and remember the places he has traveled to before, Xiaoke can still talk about the first feeling of each attraction, some are amazing at first glance, some feel uncomfortable, and some first thought is "Chinese is really much!" ”。
The scenery at that moment was shocking, and the exclamation of that moment was joyful, but not long-lasting. The feelings in the memory are easy to fade with the loss of time, and the real unforgettable is the people and things encountered during the tour.
Human geography, "humanities" comes before "geography".
When the phone is completely turned off, cheekily go into the store to borrow a charger, take pictures with other "lonely travelers", listen to the taxi master tell his life experience, and talk with other travelers about the reason why they came to travel, his own thinking will be much broader.
It turns out that people can still live like this.
Then again, when doing a travel guide, I found that one of the attractions in many guides is a permanent item - temples.
After personally visiting Jiming Temple and Lingyin Temple, marvel at the number of young people who come to the temple now.
In fact, they may not really believe in religion and worship Buddha, some come to live broadcast and check in, some of them pray sincerely and mostly worship Buddha, and even more so when praying, they report their ID cards, for fear that the bodhisattva will miss his wishes.
It is also difficult for the current Buddha to have a double holiday.
Just like someone ridiculed before: "Today's young people choose to put incense between going to work and being motivated", "Ignoring the marriage temple, the elder in the temple of wealth cannot afford to kneel".
Perhaps this is also the dilemma of many young people today, giving their anxiety and confusion a place to go. Take the initiative to choose the tranquility brought to them by the yellow walls, red tiles and sandalwood of the temple.
That's why it looks so contradictory, very anxious to get rid of the status quo, and there is no ready-made plan, so I choose to travel everywhere, ask where I have been, go to the temple.
Either on a poor trip, or on the way to worship the Buddha.
It seems to be full of energy, but in fact, he is anxious and empty inside. For the time being, no matter what forced them to be like this, I am afraid that it will continue to be in this state for a short time in the future.
Whether it is "special forces tourism" or "Buddha worship tour", it is just a way for young people to solve and adjust themselves, and the choice to rush or enjoy may not be so important, and tossing more may not be a kind of enjoyment.
Besides, isn't this trip of life used to toss?
It is worth remembering not the scenery of the scenic area, but the heart full of expectation on your way to the beautiful scenery.
