China is an immense nation. Each province, each region, each town, each neighborhood encapsulate a different part of China that I admire. Take Beijing, China for example. In all of its modernity, it also possesses remnants of old-age Chinese practices. A five-minute walk from the mall, you’ll run into a group of old men playing checkers as they smoke cigars and chat until nightfall. Just a couple miles away from an international corporation lays remnants of a historic, ancient Buddhist temple .
Sick of the city?
Travel to Inner Mongolia to experience the wonders of the Mongols. I distinctly remember the day a native, from the small town we were visiting in Inner Mongolia, took my horse’s saddle as he started to gallop with his own horse. The wind was so liberating as both of our horses pounded the Inner Mongolian ground. Just a couple hours later, I feasted on fresh lamb and I couldn’t help but thinking that I was interacting with and eating a meal provided by the ancestors of Genghis Khan.
There is so much the land offers. You can meet intellectuals or simple vendors of the local fruit and vegetable stand. You can visit the city but also draw back and absorb the serene landscape.
It’s been over a year since I’ve visited, but hopefully I return in the near future to re-experience the wonders as well as adventure and explore new things.
