Gesar's self-recognition and humanistic journey

We drove deep into Gesar, first we went to the primeval forest, where towering trees blocked the sun, accompanied by damp air, the sunlight dappled on the ground, forming patches of light and shadow. The crisp and pleasant song of the birds in the forest intertwined with the babbling sound of the distant stream, forming a hymn of nature. We stepped on the rotten leaves, taking deep breaths of the fresh air mixed with soil and trees, as if our bodies and minds were purified. As the altitude increased, the scenery became more and more magnificent. The sky was clear, the clouds were fluffy, and the distant snow-capped mountains shone with silvery light under the sun. Standing on the top of the mountain, overlooking the mountains, I couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of nature. Then we came to the sinkhole and ground leak scenic area of Gesar. Standing on the edge of the sinkhole, we saw the greenery in the pit, like a green lake hidden on the earth. The ground leak is like the eye of the earth, deep and mysterious. We stared quietly at this spectacle, feeling the infinite power and charm of nature. Finally, we deeply experienced the local Yi family style. In the Yi village, we tasted the authentic Yi dishes, watched the passionate ethnic song and dance performances, and had intimate exchanges with the local Yi people. The hospitality and unique customs of the Yi family made me deeply feel the rich ethnic culture on this land. After a day of playing, we were physically and mentally exhausted, but when we arrived at the Yi family, we seemed to be relieved of our fatigue by their enthusiasm. This trip was so happy and tired, it left a deep impression on everyone, and everyone hopes for the next play.
